Presby. Orchestra Concert
Attracts Good Audience


The concert given by the Presbyter-
ian orchestra at the Costain Hall last
Monday night was a delight to an au-
Glance that well filled the hall. That
so young an organization of young
people who had never before been
heard in concert in that capacity vas
a revelation. Mrs. Mae Olson, the
directress, shows rare ability in hav-
ing brought them to such a state of
musical refinement in so short a time.
To be sure they have been playing
every Sunday night at the church, but
this is the first time they have essayed
a concert. The combinations of piano,
violin and bells by Mrs. Olson, Miss
Coquillette and Genevieve Dunn re-
ceived the most applause. All the in
struments were played in good tune
a difficult thing for young performers
and each instrument had a well bal
anced individuality in the harmony.
The songs by Professor II. p Cooper
and the readings by Mrs. Cooper were
most heartily applauded. They were
finished and soul impelling, and heart
moving. We look forward to their fur
ther rapid development. -

Two 0nida Men Killed
By Gas In 90ft Well

Onida Watchman-On Tuesday after
noon when working on a well at the
crow farm just on the edge of town,
Walter Becker while going down in
the we'll became overcome by the gas
and fell to the bottom. The well was
about ninety feet deep and he had
been in the well some two hours earli-
er without discovering an sign of gas.
AS a result no one was sure of how the
accident happened. A call for help
at once brought the bigger part of the
town to the scene of the accident. The
first man to reach the well was Ray
Sheppard who fairly burned the road
with his car. Attaching a lantern be-
low himself he jumped in the saddle
at the end of the rope and told the
boys to lower him slowly and to watch
the lantern If the lantern went out
or he called for help to hurry him out.
He had gone down perhaps thirty feet
when the lantern went out and he call
ed for help. Willing hands pulled him
up perhaps six feet when he became
unconscious and fell from the rope to
the bottom, a fall of at least sixty feet.
All that could be done was done. An
aid line was put into the well and fresh
air was pumped in constantly. In
vestigation proved that the gas was
rising for a ltern would not burn
within fifteen feet of the top. To go
into the well seemed certain death.
No one wanted to go down or to allow
anyone else to go. Glenn Smith how
ever set to work. Taking a gas mask
he had worn overseas he disconnected
the tank of chemicals which would be
useless against this kind of gas AMI
attached a garden hose some ninety
feet in ZENITH. Then he stepped up and
said he was ready to go down. 1t was
a brave thing to do. The chances
were very slim that he could get
enough air in this manner and yet
something had to be done. He was
lowered into the well, safely tied in
however SO he could not fall. The
suspense was great but soon he came
up with Ray. III o. White stepped up
and took his place and brought up
Walter. All that human man could do
was done but it was too late. Both
boys were dead.

HUGHES FOR Limit
ON IMMIGRATION
Immediate Passage Of Immigration
Bill Necessary

Washington, April 19.-Rigid restric
ton of immigration was recommended
today by Secretary Hughes in official
documents transmitted to congress.
They were interpreted by house and
senate leaders as rejecting increased
need for the immediate passage of the
immigration bill, reported today by
the house committee, limiting admis-
sion of aliens for IA months, begin
ming next May 10, to 3 per CEN of each
nationality resident in the United
States in 1910. Debate in the house
will begin tomorrow under special
rule.
Our restriction on immigration
should be so rigid" Mr.. Hughes re-
port said, that it would be impossible
for most of these people to enter the
United States"
Particular reference was made to
undesirable classes from Balkan cities,
Armenia, Russia and Georgia.
6O6,292 Passports issued
The report said COG, 1872 passports
were granted by American consuls in
Europe for the year 1920, denoting
d ueSiTe III ihOSt COuiltTleS
to emigrate to America before anti
immigration laws were proposed. The
principal restraining influence was
said to be lack of funds, due to de-
preciated currency values.
The director general of police of
Rumania, the report ADDS, has issued
an order excusing all Jews from mill
tary service and permitting their dis
charge from the army If they wish to
emigrate to America.
Senator jones' republican of Wash
ington, introduced an amendment to
the immigration bill in the senate to-
day which would compel all immi-
grants to the United States to take
passage only on vessels flying the
American flag.

The reductions in rates to the west
ern station" Mr.. Kelley states, "are
greater than to the eastern stations
because of the fact that they were pre-
viously on a higher basis proportion
ately.
During 1914 there were received i'm
South Dakota, from the Lake Superior
docks, AIT ,961 tons of coal. The ton
mage is much greater today; but based
on those figures and on an average of
20 cents per ton, the decision means a
saving to the people of South Dakota
on their coal bills of $~334,572.7O an
nually. On the basis of present move
ment the reduction means a saving of
more than $4O0, 900 annually.
AT this time, the scale of coal rates
in effect in Minnesota points is lower
than in South Dakota, but by the re-
cision these rates have been increased
in proportion to the reduction granted
South Dakota points, resulting in ap-
proximately the same revenues to the
carriers"
The decision of the interstate COM
merce commission was brought about
largely through the efforts of the
South Dakota railroad commission
which filed complaints in 1916 against
the existing rates.
The greater part of the coal supply
OF this state is produced in the mines
of Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio and
eastern Kentucky and moves by rail to
Lake Erie ports, thence by way of the
lake routes to Lake Superior docks
and then by rail to South Dakota des-

Spiritual Benefit
By REV. A. G.. MAGICIAN

Keeping the laws of God with a
ready mind, produces the least posi-
BILE friction in our lifes, and makes for
a spiritual elevation, which looseness
in this respect cannot approach.
Observing this law was an acknow-
Judgement of the Lordship of Jehovah
over all their time. A tenant pays rent
is an acknowledge of the ownership
of the landlord. Keeping the Sabbath
is Acknowledgement Of Gods owner
ship OF our time.
To develop only the physical and
mental is to produce a lopsided grow
tn. In order to make the symetrical
man there must be a building up OF the
spiritual side, along with the physical
and mental. The services and work
of the church on the Sabbath, afford a
great opportunity to develop the spirit
ual nature and to help others to do the
same
No man should lay aside work dur
ing the week to be attended to on he
Sabbath, but to so arrange 1t that
only necessary things will be required.

the man that sees his neighbours OK
fallen into the ditch to help II out.
even on the Sabbath. We would not
| apply this to the man who pushed his
OK into the ditch on Saturday night
that he might have an excuse for res
cuing him on the Sabbath.
Too many look upon the Sabbath as
a day of restraint. The Sabbath was
made for man. and it is for RECREA-
lTION AND NOT FOR MERE AMUSE-
MENT-his physical, mental and spir-
itual recreation.
The parable is told of a man meet
ing a traveller on the highway in need.
To him he gave six Of the seven, dol
lars he had. and departed. In a short
time he was overtaken by his bcne-
fciary, who took from him the dollar
he had retained for his own need

To this matter. THE Son of Man Ia

THE SABBATH-ShALL WE KEEP
~

Exodus 20:S; Mark 2:27-28
The Sabbath is Gods institution, IL
was not made by act of Congress, or
of any law-making body. Sabbath
keeping was one of the conditions of
success among the Israelites. When
they disregarded 1t they fell a prey
to their enemies. The keeping OF the
seventh of time as a holy day was a
recognition of the Lordship Of Jeho-
yah In the Sabbath legislation given
by God to Moses, there is no mention
OF a particular day, but a date. The
date was fixed but the day moved. God
required the seventh Of our time
The purpose of the Sabbath
In the text from Marks gospel Jesus
declares Gods purpose in institutinS

a mere act of God, 1t is intended for
Mans benefit.
Physical Benefit
God the Creator knew the limitations
of our strength and gives us this law
to help us to conserve 1T 1t would
seem like idle talk to say that a man
can do more and better work in six
DAYS than he can in seven, working
continuously, but II Is not. Before a
commission in the British House OF
Commons, DR.. Fare stated that men
who labor six days in the week will be
more healthy and live longer, other
things being equal, than those that
labor seven; and that they will do
more work and do Il I'm a better man

London declared by unanimous vote
that this statement raj correct. The
right use of the Sabbath day will bring
us to the tasks of Monday in cur best
