LEAST In THE KINGDOM.

LEAST IN THE KINGDOM.
Matthew XII, 2-1o-June 16.
Amongst them thet are born OF Women there
is none greater than John; pet the Iedst in
the Kingdom of God is greater than he''-
Luke pfi, 2S.
T WOULD BE difficult to express
higher tribute to John the
4 Baptist than Jesus paid him in
our text. If John was so great
a man. from the Divine standpoint,
why did our Lord declare that the
least in the Kingdom of Heaven would
be greater than John?
When we turn on the light contained
in the word Kingdom" the entire SUBJ
ject becomes clear. God had prom
ised Messianic Kingdom, and Jesus
came that He might be the Head of
that Kingdom. The steps leading to
its honors were steps Of obedience to
God, unto death, and these steps Jesus
began to take On the cross He finish
ed the work of proving Himself loyal.
Jesus thus became the Great Con-
queror, the great King of Glory, being

ISOLATED with Him in His Throne, His
Bride class; as the Great Priest, He
was to have an priesthood,
"Royal Priesthood" as the Great Judge
of the world, He was to have asso-
ciates; as st. Paul declares, "Know We
not that the saints shall judge the

full accord with the prophecy that
Elijah must first come as a reformer
before Messiah.
Addressing the multitudes the Great
Teacher inquired. Why did you go out
to see John? Was it because God
spoke through him as a~Prophet as the
wind makes music through the reeds?
Or did you go opt to see a man in fine
clothing and of kingly state?
What really drew to Johns teaching
was that he was Gods Prophet; as it
is written. Behold. | send My messen-

mike KELLY"

The following from the Doland
Times-Record will be on interest to
George Stoddart, John Randall, Len
Mccoy and other Old-timers who
knew the subject of this sketch:
while we are giving a few items
about Sphinx county and the '79ers,
don't let us forget Mike Kelly of the
half way house, the Frenchman with
the Irish name. If he did live in
house between Timber Creek and
Lake Kampeska on the wagon trail
in the spring of 1879. He had a
shack ~ by IA and he housed as
high as thirty persons over night;
used to telescope them. He was
chief cook and bottle washer. He
used to say he liked to mix biscuits
it would clean his hands so nice.
| was down there during the winter of
1880 half Of the time. My dog got
poisoned. We froZe him up and set
him on a snow bank on a bluff and
every new m in the spring
thought it was a live wolf. Most of
them carried % pops and they would
go out and they would take a shoot
at him; if they did not have firearms
We would furnish a gun, charge 10
cents a shot. A Dago bought him
then next year for the lead in him;
he was petrifed. Can prove this by
Kelly. Mike sen to Waterfowl for
two jars Of butter by a freighter. The
fellow spent the money for booze and
brought back two boxes OF axle
grease. Mike made him eat one
fourth OF a box and called it square.
You can prove this by me. | always
thought considerable of Mike, as he

We're always welcome, money or no

history Of Sphinx county. He is now
a wealthy farmer near Raymond, and
owns a thousand cattle on a thousand
hills, and what is better, he Owns the

PROSPEROUS YEAR AT HAND.

The indications all point to a good
year for Aberdeen, and for South Da-
kota. The conditions are encourag-
ing. The hard winter has been but
a preliminary, according to the OBJ
servations of old timers, for a big
crop mex year.
The feeling of optimism is reflected
in the preparations of Aberdeen men
for building operations Of consider
able magnitude. Other towns in the
state are displaying a similarly OPP
timistic feeling. Sioux Falls is re-
ioicing over the certainty Of the estab-
lishment of a new ST. 900, 900 packing
house, Mitchell is arranging for paw
ing the main street of the town its
entire length, and the side streets for
short distances.
The commercial clubs throughout
the state are active, and scarcely a
day passes that a new commercial
club is not formed. The time was
when commercial clubs were confined
to the large towns, but now, there is
scarcely a town in South Dakota SO
small that it does not have its organ
lied boosters club.

POLITICS AND HIGH FINANCE.

"The Lion and the Mouse" which
comes to the Grand theatre early next
month, teens with politics and high
finance, and strange to say several
figures in the play, notably John Bur
kett Ryder. Senator Roberts, and ex-
Judge Scott are but actual counter
parts Of the men who have been fill
ling the newspaper columns with the
stories of their questionable areer
The story of "The Lion and the
Mouse is, concisely this; John Bur
kett Ryder, the richest mar in the
world, who controls the government
suddenly finds that the gigantic
schemes are blocked by the decisions
of a federal justice, Judge Rossmore.
Ryder yea to ruin him, and does,
financially, besides making arrange
ments to have him impeached in the
Senate. The judges daughter, Shir-
ley RossmOre, and Ryder's son, Jeffer-
son, meet on a trip abroad, fall in
love, and return engaged. The girl,
learning of her fathers impending
dishonor, determines to save his good
name. She writes a book, scoring
Ryder, his ilk, and their methods,
which creates a sensation. Ryder
sends for her, and is SO c~aptivated
by her wit and W~OmanlinaSc that no
engages her to write his biography,
making her a member of his house
hold. OF course discovery is GER
tain, and terminates in a tremendous
scene between these two, the lion
and the mouse. The play will be the
event of the local theatrical year.

CAMP PLANS ARE CHANGED.

Adjt. Gen. C. II. Englesby, of Water
town, has received notice from the
war department at Washington that
the state troops will be sen to the
maneuver camp at Sparta, Wis, in
stead of to Fort Russell, Wyo., as was
previously announced. The reason
given for the change is that it would
cost the government about twice as
much to send the troops to Fort Rus
sell as to Sparta. The maneuvers
will be held some time in July, and
will be participated in by the militia
troops OF Minnesota, Iowa, Wiscon-
sin and a part of Illinois as well as
from this state.
The South Dakota militia will con-
centrate at Camp Roosevelt, near
Watertown, for four or five days tar
get practice before going to the ma
neuvers, and it is probably that an
officers, school will be conducted
there, also, preceding the %concentra-
ton Of the state troops.
Gen. Englesby, while believing that
the militia will not be called upon to
go to the Mexican border, at the same
time the war department has called
upon his office for considerable infor-
nation in regard to a possible call,
and all necessary details have been
worked out covering a possible move
ment to that country. In this con
nection Gen. Englesby says:
Should the trouble in Mexico com
to a point where the services of the
state troops would be required, they
could be concentrated at Camp Roose-
welt, near Watertown, inside Of twen-
ty-four hours fully equipped, and they
could be recruited up to the full war
strength in an additional ~twenty-four
hours. The organization is now in
better condition than it ever was, as
far as being ready for the field Is
concerned

Recently a meeting was held at
Deadwood for the purpose of dis
cussing the a~dvisability Of establish
ing a road across the state from east
to west similar to the proposed me-
ridian roads. Prof. Solberg, Of Brook
nigs, an expert along these lines, was
present at the meeting and he will
draw plans for a road that will begin
at Elkton and run west through the
towns of the North Western line to
the hills. If this road is built as
anticipated. volga will be ideally
situated. 1t will be on the east and
west road or what might be called
the parallel" road and midway be-
tween the two meridian" roads. With
the establishment OF these roads there
will be a demand for an u~p-to-date
cement garage and repair and supply
shop in Volga.
