MEETING HELD At oELRlCHS LAST
SATURDAY,. NOMINATED FULL
COUNTY TICKET.

The "Bull Moosers" of Fall River
county held their convention at Oel-
richs Saturday, August 10th with quite
q crowd present. The meeting was
called to order in the Swallow Hotel
by Mark c. Rich, who after the organi.
zation, was made permanent chairman
Of the meeting.
The purpose of the meeting was to
endorse the action Of the Republican
Progressive convention at Chicago re-
Gently and to place in nomination q
full progressive county ticket. Attor.
ney Walter E. Haynes, of Oelrichs,
while in the city Wednesday submitted
the following list of names which had
been endorsed by the convention:
For representative: Dan Mosier, w.
G. Flat.
For Auditor: W. T. Harrison. Hot

For States Attorney: Walter E.
Haynes, Oslrichs.
For Assessor: Guy Parkin, Oelrichs.
For Coroner: DR.. Bilger, Ardmore.
For Surveyor: Geo. Gull, Edgemont.
The above ticket is very good one
with one or two exceptions. A reason.
able length of time as resident Of q
county is ofttimes necessary before az
sspirant can reasonably expect the
voters to endorse his candidacy, but q
trial to find out exactly where they
stand with the voters is also very en-
Tightening.

far such q movement can get in Fal

BLACK HILLS M. E. MISSION
DISCONTINUED.
REV. WHITE RETURNED
SUCCESSFUL Meeting At EDCEMoNT-.
NEXT CONFERENCE TO BE HELD
AT DEADW0OD.

Momentous changes we're made In
the affairs of the Black Hills Methodist
mission during the conference which
closed Sunday at Edgemont. Black
Hills Methodism will exist in future as
Q part of the Dakota conference, where
for many years past they have had 9
separate identity as q mission. The
change made by Bishop Luccock and
ratified by the conference is one in the
way of advancement and gives this SEQ.
tion greater prominence in the church,
yet 1t is not without regret that the
mission, which has been an active force
in this region since the days of the
first white pioneers, will lose its identi
ty.
The Black Hills mission Of the Meth.
odist church was established thirty two
years ago by Bishop Warren, whom it
scarcely survives. He died last month
in Denver and the mission will come to
an end October 10th, when the Dakota
conference will meet and is expected to
sanction the consolidation. Its con-
ference was the first one to be presided
over by Bishop Warren, and Bishop
McIntyre began his work as Bishop in
this conference four years ago as did
Bishop Luccock last week, he being
consecrated bishop in Minneapolis in
May. This mission was founded in the
days when it took true courage to
stand ss q worker in the church and it's
early days we're filled with as great
danger ss has marked any effort Of this
church on this continent. Several of
the early preachers in the Black Hills
fell martyrs to the cause of Christ All
tourists to Deadwood visit the grave of
the first Of these, Rev. Smith, who was
killed by the Indians while he was
trsvelinR to meet an appointment with
his churcn. Rev. Delivers conn ection
with Black Hills Methodism dates from
the same period.
Bishop Luccock has assumed an ag.
gressive attitude on behalf of the
churches Of The mission. Changes we're
made in pastorates in several of the
larger towns while there WAS general
commotion in respect to the smaller
charges. Rev. White was returned to
his pulpit In this city which will please
his entire me mbership and the city at
large.
Friends of DR.. A. @. Stevens, super.
intendent Of the mission, will regret
that with the ending of the mission as
such he will be transferred to other
fields of labor for the church. 1t is
rumored he will be given some import.
ant station in Minnesota where he was
located before coming here last year.
He has done very effective work for
the church since he became identified
with this section.
Desdwood extended an invitation for
the conference to be held there next
year and 1t was accepted.
