BISHOP JOHNSON HERE
TO CONFIRM A CLASS
BISHOP JOHNSON. VISITED sr.
MARY's CHURCH AND CON.
FIRNIED A CLASS OF TEN
YOUNG PEOPLE.

The Rt. Rev. F. F. Johnson, DID,,
Bishop of South Dakota, administered
the rite of confirmation at st. Mays
Episcopal church on Sunday morn
ing. Mr.. Barnett presented ten peo-
pie to the Bishop, two young men
and eight young women The church
was very beautiful in its white hang
ings and white flowers, and the sim
pie dignity of the service made a
great impression upon the people
who crowded the church till there was
nothing but standing room.
The confirmation of this class in-
dicates something of the excellent
work that is being done by Rev. Mr..
Barnett in the comparatively short
time he has been in charge. His
work is proving very popular and
he has many strong friends behind
him in and out of the church.
The confirmation service was fol-
lowed by the Bishops sermon, which
had Its, usual power and attractive
ness. The Bishop used as his text
the Parable of the sower,' and laid
his emphasis on the need OF contin-
ual struggle and patience in the lv-
of the Christian life, and the accom-
plishment Of the Christian duty.
At the close OF the service the
Bishop took occasion to remark on.
the increase Of enthusiasm in the
work Of st. Mary's and ventured to
hope that by his next visit some start
would have been made toward pro-
yiding a more suitable church fabric.

PRAIRIE FIRES ARE
GROWING NUMEROUS
ONE IN STANLEY COUNTY BURNS
OVER LARGE AREA AND DE-
STROYS FARM BUILDINGS.

Pierre, S. D.-Prairie fires are be-
coming numerous in the western part
of the state this spring. One a few
days ago starting near Flat Top
Butte, southern Stanley county
burned over a large tact of country,
and destroyed all the buildings on
the farm of John Kelly, burning
south to White river before it was
stopped. A number of farm houses
on the line of fire were only saved by
the hard work of the residents Of that
part of the county, and the danger to
hay and small shanties was heavy
before the fire was under control.
Other fires are reported in different
parts of the western half of the state,
and a serious fire burned over a por-
ton of Jerauld county near Messing
ton Springs a few days ago, which was
started by a farmer attempted TO
burn the carcass of a calf which had
died of black-leg. Even with the
greatest of are fires will start such
times as now prevail, and with a
strong gale a fire in the country west
Of the river may at any time dupli-
cate the fires east of the river in 1889
when many lives were lost, and a
heavy property damage was sustain
ed in Sully, Hyde and Hand counties
in different fires which were driven by
a terrihic April gale in one day.

New York City.-A sensation wa
created here today by the arrest OF
Albert. Uhlrich, an employing carpen.
ter, upon the charge Of committing an
assault upon Booker T. Washington,
the famous negro educator, while
Washington was in his house.
Uirich declares that he found
Washington in his house and, believ.
ing he vas there for no good reason
attacked him.
Ulrich declares he will stand trial
and that he wilt have his wife and
daughter on the stand as witnesses
that Washington was found in his
home.
Booker Washington himself claims
that he went to the, Uhlrich house
looking for a friend.
Uhlrich was held under $500
bonds for examination tomorrow,
Washington being too i'll from his in
juries to leave his bed today.
Washington's attorney WILL pro-
duce at the trial a letter asking him
to call on D. G. Smith, auditor for
the Tuskogee Institution, Of which
Washington is the head. It will be
said that Washington were searching
for Smith when he was assaulted.
Many Of Washington's friends were
at police court this morning.
Washington has delivered lectures
all over the United States, was Ell
tertained at dinner by Roosevelt and
counts as friends many of the most
prominent. people Of the country. His
work in giving the negro practical in
struction has made him the most dis
of his race.
