CHILD AND MOTHER DISAPPEAR

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., May Is -
Coming all the way from the Philip
pine islands, where he is employed in
the government service, to procure his
11-year-old daughter from his divorced
wife, only to find that both the mother,
her new husband and the daughter
have disappeared, j. A Nagel has Of
fered a reward of 800 for information
as to the present whereabouts of his
daughter.
iNagel for many years was a prom
inent educator of Hutchinson county,
and some years ago went from South
Dakota to the Philippines and entered
the government service. Prior to his
departure, his wife and he separated
and he was warded the custody of
the two children, boy and girl. On
an understanding with his former wife
he says, he intended to leave the
daughter with her until this time.
Mrs. Nagel, after she and Nagel
were divorced, took up her residence
in Sioux Falls, and here met and mar
ried her second husband, Carl Young.

is on the increase. The only member
of that nation who had a place on the
committee on 1.-THE state of the
church" which was considering the
matter of amusement clause, made
one of the most affecting addresses
that was made on that question in the
entire committee. He plead very
earnestly with his fellow delegates,
in his broken language, that they
would refrain from removing this
clause fro mthe Jaw of the church, for
the sake of the foreign members Of
the church, especially those in his ma
tive land. He declared that for many
months his fellow Methodists in his
home land had been praying that the
great mother church in America would
not subject himself and his fellow Chi
1ese Christians to the additional diff
ficulty of seeking to maintain the life
of the Christian church without the
assistance Of that law on the amuse-
ment question. Many believe that his
pathetic plea from that distant land
materially aided in securing the large
vote that was received by the side
who favored the retention of the
clause

CRAWFORD Will
Be seen tonight
Splendid Play atPresbyterian
Gymnasium Played by
Young People

This evening the young people of the
First Presbyterian church will put on
a play in the gymnasium of the Pres
byterian chapel that will appeal to all.
The name of the play is "Cranford."
Each performer is especially adapted to
the character assigned and very cred
table production is expected.
Crawford is just one of the innun1-
cradle country villages in England,
which find their prototypes IN the old
er towns of the eastern part of the
United States, or in any other COM
munity where frontier days have long
been forgotten and the villagers have
settled down in their little rut, and re-
manned there for years and years. Their
lives are wrapped up in their village
affairs and the dongs of their neigh
bors Their narrow views, their Cos
sip, the joys and sorrows which make
up the comedy and tragedy of their
lives, seem humorous when viewed from
metropolitan standpoint, yet mean the
world to them. Crawford is a speci
ment OF any little rural village, and the
story told by the play is one of whole
some sweetness which will repay you
for watching it as it is unfolded by
the youthful actors.

MINNEAPOLIS, May 16.-The in
teresting questions that are now be-
for the Methodist general conference
in session at Minneapolis are the dis
position of the bishops who must be
superanhuated, the election of the
new members of the episcopal college
and the discussion and settlement of
the amusement question.
The matter pertaining to the bish-
ops is in the hands of the committee
on episcopacy, which committee is
considered to be, as it is, the greatest
committee in the general conference,
and the rightful place accorded to the
delegate who is able to secure the
first election in his home conference;
and although no one really knows
what they do intend to do in the mat.
ter submitted to them, until they
themselves report their action, yet
there are those who sometimes allow
some of the most interesting items to

odism. 1t is now rumOred that there
will be anyhow two, and some say
three, of the older bishops retired
and that there will be as many as
five, some say eight, new ones elected
to fill the places of the ones retiring
and to accommodate the increasing la
bors of the church. The number OF
bishops will affect the matter of epis-
cOpal residences, and so that matter
hinges On the other If there are a
large number of new bishops elected
there is very fine chance that Bis
marck will be selected as one of the
episcopal residences. The North Da-
kota representatives are doing all that
is in their power to keep the interests
of the capital city before the episcopal
committee If the number of new
bishops selected is small the chances
of securing an episcopal residence in
the great northwest will be CORE
spondingly lessened. 1t is expected
that the report on the matter will be
in time for the elections to occur this
week, and then the contest will be
settled.
The amsuement question has alredy
been fought through it's preliminary
stage in the committee assigned to it.
viz, that of Estate of the Churc L. "
The question, after two days of warm
debate was settled, as far as the CON-
mittee was concerned, by deciding not
to remove the clause that forbids GER
tain specified amusements: from the
book of discipline The vote was 81
in favor of removing the, to some. Of
fensive clause, and 100 in favor of re-
tanning the law of the church as 1t
now stands. The whole question will
very soon be reported to the confer
ence from this preliminary committee
fight, and wiss then be fought on the
floor of that body. 1t is the antlclpa-
ton of those who consider themselves
shrewd guesers that the proportion
in the committee will be about the
proportion in the main house, and that
the affair is a. good as settled already,
waiting only for the umpire to call
the score. There will be some inter-
esting oratorical pyrotechnics. how
ever, before the score is called.

Wednesday afternoon a national
election was held throughout the
United States which is as important
in it's way as the presidential election
In November. At that time over co.
900 union printers cast their ballots
for their favorite candidates for the
various executive Offices of the Inter-
national Typographical union. On
Wednesday night after the votes cast
by each local, the secretary mailed
them to the International secretary
treasurer at indianapolis. The re-
suit will be known within short time.
Bismarck local No. 40, /. T. u,
held it's election Wednesday afternoon.
There were two tickets in the field,
one the administration ticket and the
other the progressive ticket. James
M. Lynch, the present president of
the international body, has held office
for twelve years, and this was one of
the principal reasons urged against
his reelection. His opponent was
Fred Barker of Spokane. In Bismarck
the progressive element won by
Bismarck local No. 40 was as follows:

Fred Barker, 9.

You old people, Syrup Of Figs is
particularly for you. You who. don't
exercise as much as you need to: who
like the easy chair. You whose steps
are slow and whose muscles are less
elastic. You must realize that your
liver and ten yards of bowels have
also become less active.
Don't regard Syrup of Figs as
physic. 1t stimulates the liver and
bowels just as exercise would do il
you took enough of it. 1t is not harsh
like salts or cathartics. The help
which Syrup of Figs gives to torpid
liver and weak, sluggish bowels. is
harmless, natural and gentle.
When eyes grow dim, you help
them. Do the same with your liver
and bowels when age makes them
less active. There is nothing more
important. Costive, clogged-up bow
els mean that decaying fermenting
