War in EUROPE
SUMMARY OF THE DAYS PROG
RESS PREPARED by THE
ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, Sept. Especial:
again facing a long, slightly curved
line stretching from Noyon, in the
west, to the Argonne forest on the
east and thence across the Meuse to
the southeast, in the direction of the
German fortress of Metz, a distance
of nearly 200 miles.
Rear guard actions have been
fought during the past two days, with
the Germans disputing every inch of
territory until the armies should
again get in alignment to oppose the
allies. All reports indicate that these
actions have been severe, but they
are considered of minor importance
in comparison with the great battle
of Marine and the battle which is
threatened.
Regarding the present operations
the official statement issued by the
French government is of the most
meager character. General headquar-
ters at the front has sent no new
details of the late fighting and the
Paris officials draw no inference, for
publication at least, from the course
of events in the battle, which has
lasted several days. 1t is stated,
however, that the allies have not
weakened on any position.
The British official press bureau
quotes Russian official sources as au-
thority for the statement that the
rout of the Austrian army in Galicia
is complete. The Austrians are esti-
mated to have lost 100000 men in
killed and wounded and 100000 men
and 400 guns captured. In this COM
munication the failure of the Ger
man effort to save the Austrian army
is noted, and the Germans are said to
have lost many pieces of siege and
other artillery.
The Russian general Rennenkampff
who is conducting operations in East
Prussia, has recently found himself
in a dangerous position and has fall
en- back to the Russian forts on the
Russian frontier. The German troops
under Gen. Hindenberg are reported
to be following up their advantage,
with the hope of dealing the Russians
a heavy blow before they can be re-
inforced.
Sir Maurice De Bunsen, recently
British ambassador at Vienna, in a
report dealing with the rupture oil
diplomatic relations with Austria, de-
| clares that Austria and Russia had
about reached an agreement on the
Austro-Servian dispute when the mat.

BAPTIST CHURCH
DEDICATION SERVICE TO BE
HELD SUNDAY, SEPT. 20.

The Baptist people have made ex-
tensive improvements to their church,
Washington avenu and Fifth street,
and will next Sunday formally dedi-
cate the edifice, DR.. S. p. Shaw of
Sioux Falls will preach the dedication
sermon at the morning service and
also preach at an evangelistic service
in the evening. An elaborate program
of music has been prepared for the
day. In the announcement of the
dedication services the following in
teresting history of the church is
given:
THE first church building of the
Baptist people in Madison was erect
ed in 1881. 1t remained the home of
this people for eight years. In the
fall of 1888 an evangelistic meeting
was held during the p~astorate of Rev.
S. G. Adams and a large addition to
the membership was made, and it at
once became evident that a new
church was necessary to provide room
for the people. The present building
was then built at a cost of S4,662.90
and dedicated in the fall of 1889.
LAS years have gone by there has
been every evidence of the need of
better equipment and more room for
Sunday school and social purposes,
and to have this has been the dream
of this church for a long time. How
ever, it was not until last February
that plans for a new basement were
determined upon. A building COM
mittee was appointed by the church,
the money was provided for the inn
provement and work almost imme-
diately was begun, and since that
time it has been pushed with all pos
sible speed.
THE cost of the basement and all
the necessary Encouragement of
things for it has been about $4,000.
But other necessary repairs, such as
r~edecorating the upper room, re-
shingling the roof, new sidewalk, etc,
has pushed the cost to about $4,000.
The church has been raised fifteen
inches, about 500 loads of earth re-
moved, and a new concrete wall has
been put under the building, which
is 6Sx49h feet. This enclosed space
has been divided up into six rooms.
There is a large parlor 47x30 feet, a
long dining room divided from the
parlor by two large sliding doors,
which, when opened, makes a room
47x43 feet. The kitchen is splendid
ly arranged and convenient to the
dining room. There is also the fur.
mace room and coal room. These are
all so arranged as to make a splen-
didly equipped basement. There are
two outside basement entrances, one
on the east and one on the west
There is also a convenient entrance
to the basement from the southeast
vestibule. The woodwork downstairs
has been finished in hard pine. Thi.
completes a splendidly arranged ant
equipped modern church.
TOO much credit cannot be giver
the pastor for his part in raising ths
necessary funds and in pushing tn.
work, as well as for the many days o,
hard labor ungrudgingly given"

SAVES SMALL FORTUNE

Sioux Falls, Sept. 1S.-The rearing

passed other poor, homeless dogs were
put to death. Finally came Chum's

to claim him. The next morning
dawned, and the man who was to kill
Chum called him into the yard. Chum
danced and wagged his tail, no doubt
thinking something good was in store
for him. The man then said: "Well,
Chum. your time has come. You'd bet

the little forepaws were crossed, the

Stree. Traffic in Old Tim. London.

Street Traffic In Old Time London.
On Jan. 10. 1885, an attempt was
made to solve the problem Of London
trafac by restricting the number OF
hackney coaches. Charles I. issued a
proclamation setting out that hack
nay coaches are not only a great dis
turbance to his majesty, his dearest
consort, the queen, the nobility and
others Of place and degree in their
passage through the streets, but the
streets themselves are 80 pestered and
the pavements so broken up that the
common passage is thereby hindered
and made dangerous, and the prices
Of hay, provender, ETC., thereby made
exceedingly dear. Wherefore we ex-
pressly command and forbid that no
hackney coaches or hired carriages be
used or suffered in London, Westmin-
ster or the suburbs thereof except
they be to travel three miles out of
the same. And also that no person
shall 60 in a coach through the said
streets except the owner of the coach
shall constantly keep up four able
horses for our service when required"

An Error In Geography.

On one occasion the British lost q
point in their war with Russia by rea.
son Of an error In their geography.
This was when Commodore Elliot had
succeeded In blockading the Russian
feet in the gulf of Saghalin, on the
east coast Of Siberia. The Russians
were in a cul de sac, and the British
ships waited contentedly for such time
as the enemy should venture to put to
sea. But they waited in vain, and at
last an investigation was made. 1t
was found that the Russian feet had
vanished. While the British commo-
dore waited at the south end Of the
gulf. the Russian ships slipped away
through the shadows at the north end
into the sea of Okhotsk. Until this
discovery was made the British gov
eminent had believed Saghalin to be
peninsula. Now, too late, they
learned that 1t was an island, with
very narrow channel at the north end
Of the gulf running into the sea Of
Okhotsk.
