On account of the rain Thursday
the Jake Knoebel auction sale on the
Basart farm was postponed until
Tuesday OF next week Oct. 10th.
We notice from dispatches to
the daily papers that DR.. Stoner, of
Highmore, has been appointed to the
position of director of, farmers instr
tutes for this state. By the way, we
are reminded by this that De Smet
might as well be on the list for an
institute. These affairs are valuable
to every community in which they are
held. The director of Institutes is
willing to put an institute in at any
place where it will be appreciated.
Ii might be we'll to have a committee
interview the farmers of this vicinity
and have those who desire an insti-
tute to enrole so as to guarantee a
good attendance. If a sufficient
number signify a desire for it, there
will be no trouble in secureing an
institute.

There is some talk among the

association and from the experiences
of neighbors which will be related at

advantage of the whole community.
There are two instances of families

In my childhood days every penny

What Say the seripturssf

The disillusion respecting great works
OF our own humbled us before God and
made US realize our dependence upon
Him for the fulfilment of the glorious
prophecies. We have read our Bibles
afresh. We have taken from our minds
the spectacles of our forefathers with
the color and gloss which they handed
down to US. We are now reading God :
Book In its own light. allowing God to
be His own Interpreter. and Himself
TO make II plain. And what do we

find the Divine Plan wider and deeper
and higher than we had ever dreamed.
We find that the present Age. from
Calvary and Pentecost to the second
coming OF Jesus. Is not Gods time for
dealing with the world. opening their
blind eyes. unstopping their deaf ears
and making every knee to bow and ev
cry tongue TO confess. II Is merely

Father Abraham.
Well may we reason that II our God
waited for four thousand years before

and has since waited two thousand

From the Chicago Evening Post.
 The baseball public of today, accus- toned to the minute reporting of games, wherein each run is compounded and many a play analysed, is offered the ac- count of game played in Syracuse In 1868. The contestants were the Central City's of Syracuse and the Athletics or Philadelphia. and the score was fl to 12.
 The game was delayed half hour by the difficulty in finding an umpire. Then the report goes on to state:
 .The game opened loosely upon both sides and at the end of the first innings the score stood Athletics ,, Central City 4. each side making it's tallies promptly from the loose playing of the out club After the first inning the Athletics played more carefully, while the Central City's grew more careless until the fifth inning, when they became more demoralzed than was the Union army at the battle of Bull Run
 considerable dissatisfaction was mani Tested and expressed, and in two innings rightfully so, at the evident one-sided de- cisions of the umpire.
 We will not particularize, but suffice 1t to say that several oi the players on both sides did we'll while others, especial lv the C. C. side were not fully up to their standard efforts The following is bp
