H EVILS OF CITY
SHOWN IN SERMON

a large number of people attended
the Congregational church Sunday
'vening TO hear the male quartette
and the special sermon OH "The
City-lts Evils" and they were we'll
repaid 10: their efforts. Tho music
by the young men was OF a most
pleasing and helpful order and great
ly delighted the congregation. The
sermon held the closest attention
and was the subject of considerable
comment. Rev. MAR gave a number
OF reasons why the modern city is an
object OF condemnation, among them
being its poverty, vice and bad gov
eminent. Each OF these was argued
at length. He showed that the maj
i'll the city must necessarily pay much
more for his food than the man in
the country, and with living SO high
it is no wonder that many are poor.
Some keen things were said about
vice and poor municipal govern
ment. He declared that Mitchell had
the reputation over the state Of be-
ing the ~cleanest town in South Dako-
ia, and that he had no a to
doubt the statement. The sermon
closed with a description of some To-
cal evils. Next Sunday evening he
will discuss the other side of the
life of the city, taking for his topic,

SUNDAY SERVICES AT
FL PRESBYTERIAN

Services at the Presbyterian church
We're of a very interesting character
The morning sermon was on The
Affirmation Of the Resurrection
Pastor Snyder preached a strong
sermon on this subject, making it
plain that Jesus died on the eros, was
buried and rose on the third day, ap-
pearing before the disciples, and
and proved unto even the doubling
ones that He was the Christ who was
.crucified.
In the evening a Memory Song Ser
vice was very much enjoyed by the
large audience which was present. A
representative o! the Sunday School
Union was present and gave u short
talk and at the close took up a collec-
ton for the Sunday School work in
this state.
This was followed by a very inter-
esting and stirring address by the
pastor, whose sermon subject wa
Fighting Gideon in which he por-
trayed how Gideon, with his small
army of 800 men dereated the oppos-
ing army Of several thousand, and
which he accomplished through the
power of prayer.

! Judge kohlsaat of Chicago is one
man on the federal bench who has
refused to allow the courts to be
bound by tec%hnicality. His action in
dismissing a writ of habeas corpus
asked by the meat packers under in
dictment for violation of the Sher-
man law, constitutes one of the most
refreshing incidents of recent juris-
prudence.
For eight years the government
has been trying to bring to the bar
those responsible for the monopoly
which it was convinced had been
built up in the meat packing bust
ness. They We're enjoined from vio-
lation OF the law by Judge Grosscup
Feb. IS, 1905. On July /, 1905, the
packers were indicted as criminals
for violation of the antitrust act,

1t is unfortunate that the real Of

guilty, for they not only melted the

women are able to Danish the Who'll

course not all women are willing to

the very insidiousnes of gossip makes
it difficult to determine the extent of

Pierre, S. D.-The South Dakota
political situation has been given
several thrills in the past week, and
possibly may receive another before
the end OF this week. The predict
ed announcement OF Thos. Sterling
as Il straight out follower OF La Fol
lette has been made in 4 signed let
ter. This may have an effect on a
possible switch from congressional
to senatorial ambitions on the part
of Judge McNulty, of Aberdeen. and
may not. but the cards were shaped
for such a play, and the announce
ment may have no effect toward a
change.
The candidacy for two circuit
judges OF this state for Il congress
sional place has called out discus
ion as 10 the provision of section
I35 of Article : Of the state consti-
tuition, winch is:
NO judge of the supreme or cir
cult courts shall be elected to any
other than a judicial Office, or be
eligible thereto, during the term for
which he was elected as such Judge.
All votes for either of them during
such term for any elective office, eX-
cept that Of judge of the supreme
court, circuit court Or county court,
given by the legislature or the peo-
pie, shall be void"
In past years when one OF the jul
liciary of the state had congression-
al aspirations, it was shown that in
such cases from other states. con-
! gress had held it was the judge OF
its own membership, ard state laws
Or constitutional provisions had nc

OF the judicial officers were to be Sc

While all efforts of political lead
ers are being turned toward cutting
down a multiplicity of candidates
for places, they are not succeeding
to any great extent as yet. On the
governorship it is not likely that
either of the candidates will willing
~ eliminate himself, and it is hard
to see how they eau be eliminated
without their own consent. In the
congressional situation It is practi-
cal1y the came. The number of can
'didates for secretary Of state appears
to be in the diminishing line. 1t is
reported that after announcing his
candidacy for that place and read
ing q few press comments upon his
former actions as q legislator, Mr..
.Theo. Geidt OF Mcpherson county
found the grounds so chilly that he
could no longer keep his feet warm.
and that he has decided that he does
not want any more Of the track for
his use. but is willing that the 9TH
ers shall have a clear way so far as
he is concerned.

on subject; THE Essentials of Eff
fective Christian Service" He read
from the Scripture in the first chap
ter of St. John, There was a man
sent from God whose name was,"
your own name. This he said was
distinctly a mems age. Speaking of
the essentials OF Christian service
Mr.. Tilley said they were A man
must know God; recognize Him; feel
the responsibility of being sent; be
satisfied to do the one thing sent for;
believe in men; be a representative
of God, to men; get together with
men to feel their needs; have fervor;
get busy; and be alive. The speak
err said: "The business of rescuing
men is no play. III men we're as
much interested in the lives of men
