STIRRED UP
THINGS AT THE FAIR
TREE COUPLES WIRE MARRIED
IN ALEXANDRIA DURING THE
THREE DAYS OF COUNTY
FAIR.

Alexandria, S.sD.-The fifth annual
Hanson County fair was the most sue
cessful fair that has so far been held.
starting out with perfect weather,
1t lasted until the last day which was
rainy in the morning and evening.
Ahe first day there was not much do
ing besides the ball game which was
interesting, except for one inning.
The final score was IA to 4 in favor
OF Montrose. Wednesday was the rec
ord. breaking day and with the large
delegation from Mitchell and the one
from Emery, thery was a crowd here
never equalled before. The Sioux
rails band furnished music for that
day and the races and ball games
were very good. The live stock prem
lums Were awarded on that day and
there was some very stiff competi-
ton. Thursday there was a good
crowd il town but the rain sent most
OF them home about supper time. At
the opera house the Fisher Stock Co.
played the first two nights and the
house. record was broken on Wednes-
day night when they played "The Old
Clothes Man." The Tennessee Min
strels played to a large house on
thursday. The dances in Pitts Bros.
hall were largely attended and on
Wednesday there were IS numbers
sold. Mitchell's fine turnout on Wed
nesday greatly pleased the officials OF
the fair as we'll as the people in gen.
eral and 1t will undoubtedly add to
the large crowd. that will go to the
corn palace next week.
While everyone was busy and oc-
cupied with the fair here three cou-
pies took advantage of the time and
got married. 1t is to be regretted
that none of them took advantage of
the prize put up for that purpose by
the fair association. On Tuesday Miss
Anna Mayey was united in marriage
to Jacob Leanord, a young farmer who
lives near Howard. The ceremony
took place at the Catholic church and
was an elaborate affair. Rev. Tray
ner performed the ceremony. Many
friends were surprised greatly as 1t
was kept rather secret until the last
moment. All join in wishing the
young couple the greatest prosperity
in life. The second couple we're mar
ried by Justice Gregory, Philip Beach
and Mrs. Minnie ]. Roth, both of the
northern part of the county were the
contracting parties. The couple will
live on the Beach farm in Spring Lake
township. The third marriage was
that Of Charles Rands and Miss
Grace Huber, which occurred at the
home Of the bride at 10 O'Clock
Thursday. Charles IL a young con

regret.

1kysNSwas committed Tues
'dSyS9x1ilS1a6lkand although efforts were
made to get track of the robbers all
day Wednesday nothing of clue was
obtained Until Wednesday night about
IL o'clock, and that through a mere
circumstance. Officers Vermilyea
and Christensen were making their
round through the alley west of the
postofice building, where they met a
citizen, who was on his way to the
postofice. They %conversed a while
concerning the silk robbery and the
possibility Of making the arrest.
While they yer talking the citizen
noticed a couple of men walking
across the alley from the Mitchell
hotel, going east and called the at
tention Of the police to them. The
police started down the alley and
stopped the men, who carried a suit
case. The men put up a little bluff,
but had to yield to an examination
of the suit case, which revealed the
secret Of the silk robbery. In the
case were thirteen bolts of silk. The
plumber had been planted behind a
high board fence to the rear of the
Mitchell, and these two men claimed
they had been hired to get and de-
liver it to parties at the Milwaukee
depot. The men were placed in Jail
and efforts made to secure the other
parties who are connected with the
robbery.
The last chapter in the restoration
of the silks stolen from the store of
A. Neish & Sons was written this
morning when Sheriff Plotner went
to the rear of the Mitchell hotel and
found another suit case filled with
silks, together with the furs and ex-
pensive coat which We're stolen at the
same time.
Sheriff Plotner had a conference
with the man who is supposed to be
the leader of the crowd who broke
into the store. This took place Fri
day night and the sheriff informed the
party that he would be given until 9
O'Clock this morning to produce the
rest of the goods, and that if he fail
ed to have them ready to turn over
at that hour he would be arrested.
Shortly before 9 O'Clock Sheriff
Plotner received from the clerk
at the Mitchell that one of the boys
of the house had found a grip in a
building adjoining the hotel which
contained a quantity of silks. The
boy found the grip there early this
morning and on looking into 1t saw
that it contained a quantity of silk
Sheriff Plotner took possession Of
the silks and removed them to his
Office. According to the statement
Of the official there would be little use
iii arresting the party who saw that
the silks were turned over this morn
ing as there is nc way in which to con-
meet him with the robbery.

WANTS MONEY FOR
MISSOURI RIVER
SPEAKER AT PIERRE ASKS SUP
PORT FOR $95,OOO,O goo I'M.
.ROVENiENT APPROPRIA.
TION BY CONGRESS.

Pierre, S. D.-John A. Fox, special
director of the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress, with headquarters
at Washington, is making a tour OF
the northwest in the interest of river
Improvement, and made a talk here
last evening. His subject was the
Missouri river.
The manner of government i'm
provement of rivers was one of the
topics of discussion by Mr.. Fox, who
showed, as is we'll known to those
who live along the streams, it is
largely wasted so far as aid to navi-
cation is concerned. The only place
where the money has ever benefited
anyone being where the banks of the
stream have been protected from
erosion.
the government has since 1881,
expended on Improvement Of the
n.issouri river from the mouth to
Fort Benton, s11,GO5,0 900, and it
would be hard to show what has been
accomplished by the expenditure of
the largest part of this money. The
demand of the river congress is that
the work shall be done Systematically
and in such a. manner that it will be
in the line of benefit for navigation.
The plan as outlined by MIR. Fox, is
for an appropriation of $4,000, 900
on the Missouri. OF this twenty mill
lion to be placed on the stream from
its mouth to Kansas City; twenty
million between Kansas City and
Sioux City, and fifty million above
Sioux City. This would be at the
rate of approximately fifty thous-
and dollars a mile from the mouth
of the steam to the western border
of North Dakota.
The argument of Mr.. Fox for the
expenditure of fifty thousand dollars
a mile above Sioux City is summarize
ed in the following. In North Da-
kota the river counties contain H.
100000 acres in the ten counties
which border on the Missouri; and
in South Dakota, the 10 counties
which border on the river contain
100000 acres, or a total of a.
$4,000 acres in the two Dallotas.
These counties last year with only
ten per cent of their area under Gull
tivation, produced 68, 900 bushels
of grain. Estimating that one-third
of this was sen to market, or @ ,0OO,-
900 bushels, on which only 5 cents
per bushel freight was saved it would
mean a saving of sS1,6SO,00O an
nually.
In addition to this Mr.. Fox called
attention to the great coal possibili-
ties along the Missouri. To the fact
tt t the government is spending $685.
100000 in canalizing the Ohio river,
all because of the coal interests Of
the headwaters of that stream. And
the coal territory affected through
the carrying opportunities of the
Ohio river are not SO great either in
their territory, nor Of the value of
coal to be secured, as are the coal
fields of western North Dakota, all
tributary to the Missouri river.
In regard to competitive freight
rates, Mr.. Fox showed that the wa
ter rate on the Great Lakes, is 60
h%undredth of a mill per ten mill. and
this forces the railroads to make a
competing rate. The water rate on
the Ohio river, of l6 hundredths of a
mill per ten mile makes railroad rates
in that region 20 mills per zen mile
lower.

MACMURRAY GETS
CALL TO ST. PAUL
PASTORS DECISION NOT YET
ANNOUNCEMENT IT IS BE.
LIEVED HE WILL ACCEPT
THE CALL.

DIR. T. j. Macmurray, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church of this city,
notified a week or two ago that
his name had been presented to a
church in st. Paul. The result is
that a unanimous call to enter a pas
torate in that city has just been ten
dered him. DIR. Macmurray was not
looking for an overture from that di-
rection and was surprised when the
first worm came to him; but it seems
that prominent men, who have known
DR.. Macmurray for a long time and
who have admired his work, were
much interested in getting him into
st. Paul. The field to which he is
called is a large and an important
one, and presents encouraging oppor-
tunities.
DR.. Macmurray has not yet an
nounced his decision in the matter;
but in all likelihood his first word on
the subject will be spoken from his
pulpit. He has been pastor in this
city nearly four years, having come
to South Dakota from California,
where his work in connection with
the P%resbytery of San Jose was of
such an excellent character as to win
special attention. Only a few months
ago he received a flattering offer
which he promptly declined on the
ground that financial matters per-
tanning to the new manse were then
in an unsettled and unsatisfactory
condition, and he determined not to
leave until these matters were prop
erly adjusted in the interests of the
local church. This has been done,
greatly to the satisfaction of the con-
gregation. DR.. Macmurray feels that
his efforts to place the manse on a
safe financial basis have been reward
ed, and now he considers that his way
is clear to give consideration to a
suitable proposal which may come to
him. There is a strong probability
that the call extended by the church
Of st. Paul may induce him to take
steps looking to a dissolution of his
present pastoral relation. The &C
tion of the presbytery would be re-
quired to sever this relationship.
II he goes to st. Paul. he will leave
the church much stronger than he
found 1t, for during his administra-
ton a large Indebtedness which rest
ed on the property has been wiped

~HE Great Teacher in today's
Study tells us further about
his glorious Messianic King
dom and concerning those who Will
be accounted worthy to share 1t
with him-as his Bride. This para
BILE has not been Of general application
all through this Gospel Age. 1t APP
plies merely ut the close of the Age
at the present time, we believe. 1t
does not take into consideration the
world. nor yen the nominal Church.
but solely, only, the true Church, the
Virgin class. The word virgin" signi-
fies purc, and in using this term the
Lord implies that he is referring only
to those who have been justified, by
faith and conservation, because by ma
ture none are pure; none are holy;
none are virgins.
Five Wise-Five Foolish
One of the special lessons of the par
able is to show that amongst the pure,
the wise, the consecrated people of
God. there are two classes. For a time
these will be all together-unseparat-
ed. But in the fulfilling of this para
BILE certain circumstances and condi-
lions and truths will develop and sep
arate these two classes of saints, vir-
gins.
The parable shows all the virgins as
sleeping, waiting for the coming Of the
Bridegroom. Apparently, there is no
difference; but really there is a differ
ence-the wise had a larger supply Of
Oil than had the foolish. Then came
an announcement of the presence Of
the Bridegroom and Il call to go forth
to meet him. This implies that some
thing from the prophetic Word at the
appropriate time will call the attention
of all the Virgin class to the presence
of Messiah. But at the Second Advent
it will be as it was at the First Ad-
vent. when John said to Jesus, BE
hold there standeth one among you
whom We know not" We are not to
expect the Second Coming Of Christ in
the flesh. but as a spirit being.
We are to remember that the Scrip
lures outline two distinct features con
nected with the Second Coming. First
will come the pa10usio o presence"
of the Lord. recognizable only by the
Wise and Foolish Virgins. In his
pdrousia or presence" he will test and
prove his Church, dividing them into
wise and foolish virgin classes-the
wise virgins to become the Bride class
and the foolish virgins to become the
class who will experience a second
grade of notwithstanding up out of
great tribulation and becoming the
bridesmaids, so to speak, "the virgins.
the Brides Companions, who follow
after her" psalm xiv, 14). These will
attain great blessings in spiritual life.
