Methodist Items

Plans are under way to commence
our church repairs at once. We trust
that this much needed work may soon
be brought to a successful consum-
nation.
Our official board is working well and
taking great interest in all the tenn
pora affairs af the church.
The,debt on the parsonage is being
gradually reduced until at the present
time OILY about 500 remain to be
paid. This speaks well for our Ladies
Aid Society who in the last five years
have raised something like $1,000 in
behalf of the parsona5e. Only etern-
ity can reveal the good that is being
done by these heroic women throughout
Christendom who with toll of brain
and heart and hand, make it possible
for preachers to stay on their various
fields and have homes to live in free
from debt. All honor is due Mrs.
Harris and her hand of faithful work.
,ers for the help they are giving the
cause in Webster. And now drusting
that we may please the Master in all
things and have his continued blessing
upon Ssr work, j am as ever, your
pastor M. A. Crisp.

A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE
PAID THE LATE G. 8. MAY.
NARD LAST SATURDAY
WEBSTER MAsOHs CONDUCT FUNERAL

From Church to Gene
terry. Rev. Geo. Edward
Lewis Officiating

The funeral of the late George s.
Maynard. who died from the results of
runaway accident last Wednesday,
were held in Waubay last Saturday.
The stores of Waubay all were closed
during the funeral hour out of respect
for the family. The attendance at the
funeral is said to have been the largest
ever seen in Day county showing the
high esteem in which the deceased was
held during his long residence here and
the many friends he had made who met
there that day to pay their last
respects.
The services at the home were con.
Quoted by Coteau Lodge No. 81, A. F.
and A. NJ, of this city. The very
impressive and solemn yet simple
Masonic service. The remains Were
then taken to the Congregations
church the Modern Woodmen lodge,
marching in body as an escort.
The services at the church were con.
Quoted by Rev. George Edward Lewis
and he preached most appropriate
and eloquent sermon. The music by
Miss Mabel Alley and the choir was
very touching and beautiful. The
church was not nearly large enough tc
accommodate the large number OF
friends who were present. The fora
tributes were many and beautiful.
The funeral proceeded to the Wau.
bay cemetery escorted by the Waubay
lodge of Woodmen where the last sac
rites were performed by Coteau Lodge
No. 81, A. F. and A. NJ, of this city
and all that was mortal of the late
brother was laid to rest.
Peace be to his ashes and may com.
fort come from Him, who only ear
comfort give at such times, to the
bereaved family.

Came this Week and Got

A week ago last Monday two men
arrived in Webster from the ewst car
rying a basket. They seemed to be
very nervous about something and
attracted the attention of the Chief of
Police j. V. Martin. After being in
the city few hours they visited the
restaurant of o. c. Stockholm and
upon departing forgot (?) their
basket. In short time after they had
left the restaurant the girls heard a
baby cry and upon investigation found
that the basket contained small child.
Thinking it had been forgotten, they
gave it attention for the day and night.
The chief of police on Thursday morn
ing noticed one of the men leave town
and he went and nabbed the other fell
low. OF course, at first the man denied
all knowledge of the affair but when
placed in the city Jail and given a
chance to think the matter over he
decided to "'fess" up and told Mr..
Martin to whom the baby belonged and
he was delegated to GO and tell the
parents 10 come and get the child
which was done early this week. The
baby was taken care of during its visit
in Webster at the city hospital and the
bill of expense was paid by the mother

As Our NeighbOr Sees 1t

Up to Webster the old maids are
going to hold Spinisters' convention
to consider the eligibility of the mar
riageable bachelors in that city. Some
similar move must be taken by both the
old and young maids in Milbank, for
the proportion of manageable young
ladies to the supply of men is getting
to be 16 to /. At recent dance there
was folorn line of beautiful maid
ems sitting around the ballroom during
every dance because there were not
enough young men to 60 round. How
ever, we have never been in favor
public conventions to promote matri-
mony. A shady nook, a babbling
brook, and ma and pa attending to
their own business, beats a spinisters'
convention by several laps when it
comes to getting near the orange
blossoms. -Milbank News.

You people of Webster will hardly

Something has really happened that
does not occur every day. Miss
Evangie Belts has resigned her position
as assistant postmaster and will pre-
side over Uncle Sans shop in Web
ster no longer. We very much regret
to have Miss Belts leave and we
believe we speak the sentiments of all
the patrons of the office. She always
has been prompt, accommodating and

Mr.. Wells had used in tying a new

on the machine. Mr. Wells is offering
liberal reward for the Identification

this tire and liberal reward will be
paid for the return of this tire. The

duct of Mr.. Abbott, manager of the

that if the tire was not returned he
would pay for the same and that he
was going to place sign in conspic-
uous place on his premises that he
would be responsible for anything
stolen out of automobiles left in his
charge. Mr.. Abbott's conduct is
bound to bring credit to his place in
the eyes of automobile owners as they

Milbank Takes the Game

The ball game last Saturday between
the Mllbahk and Webster high school
teams, resulted in victory for Mil
bank by score of 10 to 5. This was
Milbank's fourth victory this season
and their closest game. The fact that
they had had several games together
made their team work more perfect
than Webster's and this superior team
play is what won the game for them.
The home boys showed possibilities
of rounding at once into high school
team of the first class and very sue
cessful season is expected for them.
Milbank got five hits and Webster
six. Sorenson for Milbank famed
eleven and McKeown for Webster
famed seven men.

KILLED BY A Y RIFLE
BROTHER OF MAYOR ELECT
FRANK MONS
WIN. MONS MEETS ACCIDENTAL DEATH
Explosion of Gun Also Sets His
Clothing on Fire-Body was
Burned to a Crisp When
Discovered by Children

Last Thursday Mayor-elect Frank
Mohs, of this city, received telegram
stating that his brother, William
Mohs, had been shot and killed at his
home at st. Martins, Stearns county,
Mimi. Particulars at that time were
very meagre. Just how the accident
happened will never be known. Mr..
Mohs had told his wife in the morning
that he would finish seeding on that
day and would probably be in late for
supper in the evening. Along about
four o'clock his wife sent two of his
little children out to the field with a
lunch for their father, one was two
years and two months old and the
other about five years. The children
came upon the remains of the father
back of the seeder. The five-year-old
put the baby on the seeder and then
got on and drove the four horse team
home-a distance of half of a mile.
The oldest boy told his mother that his
father was in the field burning up. A
neighbor was summoned and went out
into the field and found that was liter
ally true. He had attempted to hang
loaded gun on one of the levers of
the seeder and in so doing the gun had
exploded and must have been.very close
as the disch arge set fire to his clothes
and the bullet passed through his heart
causing instant death. The clothing
kept burning and the remains were
burned beyond recognition. The
deceased was ayoung man of thirty.
four years and leaves wife and -four
children besides his seven brothers anc
two sisters to mourn his loss. The
funeral was held on Monday.

often choir singers labor from one
years end to another with scant con-
sideration. They must sometimes con-
slider themselves as necessary incum-
brances. This ought not to be so.
We ought, as pastors and people to
say to our singers occasionally, Your
singing was good this morning and
helped me,greatly."
Bro. Hocum and his senior choir and
Mrs. Rathbun and the junior choir are
greatly appreciated by pastor and
the entire congregation.
Several have come into the church
since our last letter and quite large
number of little children have been
presented for baptism. We are glad
to see this interest manifested in the
spiritual welfare of our children. This
is hopeful sign. Mrs. Norton's class
in Sunday school is achieving contin-
ued distinction and success. The
teacher is exercising much care in
preparing the work and is carrying
forward with efficiency her interesting
department.
Our, Easter exercises were especially
good along musical lines. Much credit
is due our Sunday school superintend-
ent and the ehoirs for the success and
satisfaction of this glorious day. The
congregations were large and coming
out in all their Easter millinery they
presented beautiful and gala appear
ance. The missionary collection was
very satisfactory, some $4,000 being
realized.
Presiding Elder Hardness paid his
second quarterly visit to this charge
last Saturday and Sunday. The visit
of this good man was a benediction to
our hearts. His sermons were of a
very high order, touching all hearts
and leaving lasting impressions. We
always expect something good to be
brought us, on quarterly meeting occa-
sions and of late we have not met with
disappointment.
Bro. Hardness received his fee in
full and there was no hesitation in
paying it, which shows how this excel
lent minister stands in the community.

FORTUNATE ACCIDENT
FORTUNATE BECAUSE THE
RESULTS WERE NO WORSE
SCOTT HYDE GETS A BULLET IN HIS LEG
Just the Same Old Story of the
Small Boys and Small Rifle
and the Usual Results
Which Follow the
Combination

Last Saturday afternoon nearly all of
the children of the schools went over
to see the ball game between Milbank
ard Webster high school boys play the
first game of ball for the season.
Our ball game was not sufficient
excitement for Scott Hyde and Frank
Clark and they had armed themselves
with % calibre rifle with which to
shoot gophers after the game. The
gophers were wise and did not come
out and the boys Istarted playing SOL
der. The Clark boy was marching in
front carrying the gun and went to
make some movement in the manuel of
arms when the trigger of the gun
caught on his clothes the gun exploded
and the ball entered the fleshy part of
Scott Hyde's right leg up near the hip.
The boy was very much frightened
when first shot and became unconscious
and, of course the other boys thought
he was dead, but he was soon brought
to and taken to his home and medical
assistance summoned. 1t was decided
that as long as the bullet was not Civ
ing the boy any trouble it was best not
to probe for it. He is getting along
very nicely and will be out in few
days.
At the risk of gaining the dislike of
severed small boys we are going to say
that we believe there are ninety per
per cent too many % rifles sold.

red" comes to the opera house, Thurs.
day, May 4th. Walter S. Lockwood, d
clever young Chicago playwright has
written the book while Theo. Stearns
has written the music which is of
the haunting, whistling type.
The play deals with the efforts of a
young man and his pal to cure the
respective ladies of their choice of a
desire for career behind the foot
lights. AS is usual with plotters, the
tables are turned and the young men
find themselves in many embarrassing
situations. Probably the chief reason
for the plays success is it's wholesome
cleanliness. 1t has the fresh, breezi-
ness of lively youth without word or
action to offend.
The song hits include Its Hard to

GREAT ENTERTAINMENT
Ut WaAS.A HOWLING-aUcCESS
AUDIENCE DREIGHTED
TIHEwEasIER MISREPRESENTATION
Under Aurpices of theiLadies of
1.-THE congregational Church
fby Local Talent Most
Enjoyable Occassion

Seldom has the Webster opera house
been SO crowded as it was last evening
when the Spinster's Convention was
presented by the ladies of the Congre-
gational church assisted by local talent.
When the, curtain rose the convention
was in session with only a few MEM
bers present, but in very few min
utes profusion of spinsters marched
through the audience on to the stage
where the meeting was being held.
During the session of the convention
Prof. 'Makeover and his assistant
arrived with an apparatus and gave
promise to the spinsters to make them
over into young and beautiful girls if
they sowished, provided they would be
truthful about their ages, and right
before the. eyes of the audience beauti-
full creatures came forth. Two fairies,
little Dorie Severy and Evelyn Sears
were produced and sang duet which
received an encore. Miss Aldrich
rendered an instrumental solo which
was,very much enjoyed. Miss Mabel
Alley delighted the audience with a
vocal solo rendered in German. Miss
LeDahl gave vocal solo which was
very much; appreciated. If the maiden
ladies made any mistakes in relating
their ages the Prof. could not be
responsible for the working of the
machine. COn one occasion it ground
forth aman which delighted the girls
and many.of them gave up the desire
to be made over. One of the spinsters
who was more anxious to become
beautiful than truthful, hooded the
apparatus by not giving the correct
age and it produced two colored girls
which so .enraged the spinsters that
they ground the Professor and his
assistant up,in the machine.
This entertainment was one of the
best home talent performances ever
given In Webster. The net receipts of
the entertainment are about $100.
