To what depths the worship Of Kali
can descend will be understood when
it Is recalled that she was the patron
goddess of the Thugs, a Hindoo sect,
who devoted their lives to highway
robbery. They entered into friendly
conversation with strangers on the
high road and. at a convenient mo-
ment, strangled them to death and
made off with their goods. 1t is less

Advocate Reforms In Prisons.

Pierre.-The HOmeopaths OF the
state in their annual meeting at Madi-
son, adopted a resolution in which
they ask for the enactment of a stat
ute requiring every institution in the
state which has to deal with confirm
ed criminals, idiots, imbeciles and
rapists, to appoint upon it's staff two
physicians of recognized ability, whose
duty it shall be in conjunction with
the chief physician of the institution,
to examine into the mental and physi-
cal condition of such inmates, and If
in the judgment of the committee pro-
creation by such persons is deemed
inadvisable, and hat there is no
chance for mental or physical improve
ment, it shall be lawful for the physi-
clan to perform such operation for
sterilization of such inmate as shall
be deemed safest and most effective.
They also recommend that no IL
cense for marriage shall be granted
where the proposed contracting par
ties are of unsound mind or where the
male has been within five years an in
mate of any home for INDECENT per-
sons: nor shall any license be issued
where the parties are afflicted with a
communicable disease.

MISSION is SUBJECT OF CONCERN.
Coming Convention to Give the Indians
Special Attention.


Observation-Disclosures Baptists have
completed the preliminary arrang-
ments for the entertainment Of be-
tween 800 and 400 delegates to the
state convention of the denomination,
which will assemble mere on October
9 and continue in session until Octo-
Der IS. The Rev. S. p. Shaw, Of Sioux
Falls, is state superintendent Of the
denomination, and John F. Schrader,

Aberdeen by Mayor E.. NJ. Hall. The
Rev. ID. McMasters, pastor Of the First
Baptist church. is in charge of the ar
engagements for the convention. local
ly, and the session will be held at
the church.
One of the features which will re-
ceiye considerable consideration is
Tie SltudllOu III IIc illSSloldlt ulS-
trict of the Rosebud reservation coun-
try. The establishment Of churches
in that territory has received a great
deal of attention from Baptists OF the
state, and during the poor crop years
many of the charges were maintained
almost entirely from contributions
from the missionary fund. With good
crops this year the prospects are
much brighter.
Among the speakers who will attend
the convention are Rev. II. r. Best,
Of Sioux Falls, and DR.. Stackhouse,
missionary secretary of the general
Baptist convention of Canada, who
will deliver three lectures. Rev. DR..
e. f. Jordan. president of Sioux Falls
college, is also expected. The Bap-
fists have 5000 communicates in
South Dakota, with 100 churches and
maintain Sioux Falls college, a strong
denomination educational institution.

Railway Assessment.
assessment


Pierre.-The state assessment
board has completed the assessment
of railroads and the changes are very
slight from the valuations of last year,
merely readjustments since the date
of the last assessment, and slight
reductions in small lines in the Black
Hills, with a raise of 500 a mile on
the Northwestern line from Brookings
to WatertOwn to cover property not
heretofore assessed. This property is
a tract of eight acres in BrOokings
county and has been owned by the
company as a gravel pit since 1904,
but never returned for assessment.
The board has instructed the county
auditor of Brookings county to
spread on his records a valuation Of
the years from 1904 to 1911 inclusive,
and made the increase on that branch
to cover that valuation for this year.
They also instructed the auditor OF
Pennington county to spread a valua-
ton of $1,000 a mile on the line of the
Northwestern road from Rapid City
to Wasta for the year 1907. it appear
ing that so much of the line of that
road across the state was II operation
for that year, just as was the line
to Midland was assessed for that
year, but the line to Wasta was not
included.

Hotel Inspectors Salary.

Hotel Inspectors Salary.
Pierre.-In his report to the gov
ernor, Hotel Inspector Weber shows
that it cost $2,249 to maintain his de-
partment for the past two years, or
$5.25 less than the amount collected
from inspection fees. This item Of
expense was largely discussed by one
OF the candidates for governor at the
primaries as a terrible drain on the
state treasury. Six arrests under the
special statute had to be made, chiefly
for failure to provide proper fire es-
capes. This defect was remedied i'm
mediately after each fine, and 1t Is re.
ported that most hotels are well sup
piled in this particular, though there
is room for improvement in a sanitary
line in many. The condition of a large
number of school buildings was ex.
amined, chiefly through correspond
ence; and all public buildings inspect
ed as provided by statute-this at a
cost Of about S400, which was paid
from the departments fees. rather
than from the state treasury. A num-
Der of remedial were advo-
Gated for legislative enactment.
