Winter Brothers NO MORE LAND OFFICE .Mitcliell's Land Office Closed ami Moved to (iresrory A I or Twcnty- eight Years Ilere. When the liour of 1 o'clock was reached Saturda\ the Cuit-d States land office in this city ceased to exist. Register Burns and Receiv er Bryan have already boxed up the office fixtures and supplies and ship ped them to Gregory, where the land office will be opened Monday morn ing. For twenty-eight years the United States land office in this city lias been doing business, and it is with some regret that we see the office go to some other point. It was a mere mat ter of necessity for the general land office at Washington to place the office at a point where there is some land to be proved up on and some on which to file. There have been thousands of persons come to Mitch ell during these years to attend to! business before the land office and it! meant some extra business to the merchants and to the hotels, but in the past three or four years, the oc casions were few when parties were' required to appear in tho office. Gen-i erally it was for a land contest case,! and these lasted but a few days. When the government decided to, erect a building here a couple of years ago and provisions were made for the land office on the second (l«or, it was supposed that the office would not be removed under any circumstances. But the government does what it thinks best and ,)ii••( quentlv moved the land office lo a pont where it is close to the lr.nd over which the officials will have charge. M-jjnr Washburn and Colonel Campbell were the original officrs of the land office, accompanying it here from Springfield, when the of flee was opened for business oil Oct. by 1 880. Thcv were" succeeded' various officials until .Messrs. Bryan and Burns were the last to hold posi tions. With the office at Gregory the fees of the officials will be largely in creased for a number of years, and the full maximum salary will be en joyed, after the minimum was the rule for a goodly portion of the time in the past few years, except for the period when the Rosebud lands were attached to the local office. I MORMOMSM IN MITCHELL A Protest Against tlie Mormon Mis sionaries Introducing lieir 15e- ligiou in Mitchell. Editor Republican: The propa ganda in our midst for winning con verts to Mormonism is a serious mat ter. is little wonder that the wo men arounsed in opposition 2 or 3 years ago, or tha' a neighbor should have lately shown the missionary, who openly commended polygamy the door most unceremoniously. The neutrality of our government in re gard to religion is much misunder stood or misapplied. Thinlc of the priest of a heathen religion being made chaplain of congress, or any of our public institutions. Our col onies were planted, and our institu tions framed by firm believers in t'ae Christian religion and the Word of God, and mainly for christian pur poses. Our neutrality, properly un derstood, is between christian denom inations, not as to the christian re ligion itself. Washington in his im mortal farewell address, warned his countrymen against supposing that morality and virtue could be main tained without the vitalizing sup ports of true religion. But this Mormon propaganda is in the interests of a form of religion whose doctrines are abhorrent to our fundamental conceptions of Christian ity as that "God is a material being with body, parts and passions 'like ours that "Jesus Christ himself was a polygamist, Martha and Mary being two of his wives "that an un married woman can never be exalt ed to the future life, since a woman must be called up by her husband at the resurrection "that there are millions of human souls yet unborn, for whom it is the duty of faithful Mormons to provide bodies as rapid ly as possible." These quotations are from an ar ticle by George B. Sweazy, principal of Salt Lake Collegiate Institute, In the Home Mission Monthly for last October, an eye and ear witness," says one of the ablest and best maga zines in the country, "who has stud led the problem In Utah Itself under conditions favorable to first hand and accurate knowledge of the system." It is not alone, .however, as a re ligion of such abhorrent sentiments, that we object to this propaganda, but because of its principles of mor ality fundamentally subversive of the first elements of Christian civiliza tion, In substituting polygamy for the christian family and home. Par ents, citizens, are you willing to have your daughters inocculated with this Asiatic system? Remember, no mat ter what may be asserted to the con trary, th" process of this proselytism is to introduce religious tenants ap parently in harmony with the christ ian system, in concealment of the above doctrines and morals, until t' svmpathies and affections are won. and the conscience engaged in behalf of new revelations and Divine pro phecies, and then, from the new stand point, they are carried over to em brace of these un-christian, un-Ameri can principles of a false religi.-in and corrupt civilization. The Mormon church is one of the most perfect organizations in exist ence, and Its missionary -propaganda one of the most selfdenying and ag gressive. If we give them credi.t for sincerity. It Is only to concede the greater danger of success. These men are prepared to meet rebuff, and to endure persecution. A little persecution Is their badge of honor, and the entering wedge to the sym pathies of the guileless and unsus pecting. There are nearly 2000 of such fearless and aggressive mis sionaries carrying on this work. The president of their church, and other high functionaries, are open and de fiant polygamists. The church is gain ing strength and awaiting tho day when they can practice their system unmolested by law. They hold full political sway in Utah, and a balance of power In four or five other states.

The I'ruinotcr of Cheap Oil is Want ed at Sictfi.v l'alls l'or Putting up a Worthless Check. The Republican has been carrying a half page advertisement for one K. W. Palmer, who was the represen tative of the Farmers' Independent Oil Co., with headquarters at Salem. In his advertisement Palmer offered to sell oil to the farmers in this vi cinity at 11 cents a gallon, and that on or about March 2 0 he would arrive here with a car and the farm ers could supply themselves there from. The chances are that Mr. Palmer will not come to Mitchell. Accord ing to tho statement made in the Sioux Kalls'Press this morning Palm er is wanted in that city for passing worthless checks. The Press says that Palmer was* arrested Tuesday night on charge of obtaing money un der false pretenses, and gave a check for $Us10 for his appearance tho fol lowing morning. Who nthe check was pi-' sented at the bank it was not accepted on account of there being no funds in the bank. Since then Palmer has not been seen. Judging from the present proceedings Palmer will not be seen in this cit on date which he was to sell oil at such a low price. The Press gives the fol lowing additional information: Palmer came here from Lincoln, Neb., where he had been in the oil business, and worked with the Stand ard Oil peope when they were prose cuting their fight at the time the Marshall Oil company began business Two months later, Jan. 2 9, he was let out because of worthless checks he had. given for eggs purchased around the country, and in business transactions for the Standard com pany. Me was also short in accounts, but a bond which he furnished cover ed that, so there was no prosecution. Palmer then organized the "Farm ers Independent Oil company" and began operations at Salem and Mon rose. .McCook, Minnehaha and Lin coln counties were pretty well cover, ed by I. is advertising which seemed all right to the newspapers because he had advertised for the Standard Oi.l peopii-. and the accounts had been paid, rialeni and .Montrose came in for tln-ir share of "business" and operations in Sioux Falls were ripen ing wh the oflii-ial from McCook county broke in upon them. "Guaranteed Oil, 11 V& cents per gallon." was the alluring proposition set forth by the "Farmers Indepen dent Oil company" of Sioux Falls, S. 1). Willi refineries at Kansas, the company offered "fine double distill kerosene oil that will not smoke your chimneys, nor char your wicks, nor leave odors in the room, and gives a fine white light. We sell di rect to the consumer, saving you the whol esale and retailer's profit, and give you better oil than is sold by the rusts. Our oil is inspected by your state inspector of South Dakota with his O. K. on every barrel." The advertisement offered for sale oil by the barrel, and the generous- com pany. of which Palmers appears to have been the whole management, emp" jyes and finances, was willing to refund $1.25 each for returned barrels, after selling the oil for 11 V2 cents a gallon. On this deal Palmer is said to have secured hundreds of dollars, and before reports arc all in, the amount may be thousands. Th" Standard agent at Deli Uapi.ds is re ported "in" $ 1two parties, .a' Salem for $50 each, and a total at Canton of JlOn. llow much further the deficit may go in the sniiil-i amounts of $0.75 a barrel cannot be known until all the returns are in. Palmer lived ii're at 12 1 Nr.-rill Prairie avenue, with l'is wife and thr"e-year old girl. His family is still hero. The Commercial News yrsterdav received a left of inquiry from the Penn Oil company at Minneapolis, asking the standing of one F. W. Palmer, who wanted oil shipped f. o. b. r\ We are BO ccrtain that itching, Biuuding and Wr* Protruding Piles can al ways be relieved and ab aolutely cured by this ointment that we positively guarantee satis faction or money refunded.

I Arguntpnt and rebuttal ilew thick I and fast at the debate Tuesday even ing in the c.ity hall when six young women met on the platlorm to de bate the question: "Resolved, That itfouth Dakota should adopt the com mission plan of government for the regulation of the public service cor porations, such plan to embody the principles of the New York and Wis consin public untility laws." The affirmative was represented by Misses Elsie Davy. Judith Grego son and Hessie Howard, of Dakota Weslcyan University. The three sis ters, Misses Nellie, May and Gladys Pyle, represented Huron college and of Sioux City, Frank Turner, of Faulkton, and E. C. Ericson, of Elk Point. Huron sent over a delegation of 130 students, including their band, and they were apportioned one place in the city hall. The local Univer sity students were scattered about, and the University band was up in the gallery. Both bands entertained the audience until the hour for starling the debate arrived. College colors vcre in great evidence, and were twined around posts and drap ed in profusion wherever it was possible. When the debaters a in peared in the hall each side tried to outdo the other in welcoming the champions of the platform. it was S: 30 o'clock when Mayor Hitchcock appeared on the platform as tlie presiding officer of the even ing. He read a long compact made between the two colleges, establish ing the basis on which the debates should be conducted. Elsie Davy was the first speaker and opened for the affirmative, who presented the constructive argument for the Wesleyan debaters. She held for the commission plan as one in which questions could be settled for the people without resorting to the courts, thus making a long delay that more intelligent action could be secured that the present railroad commission in this state has no power to do anything and was mere ly advisory that it would prevent the watering of stock and aid ma terially in securing the physical val uation of railroads and other cor porations so that a just basis should be reached on which to determine rates. Gladys Pyle opened for tlie nega tive and immediately set forth some of the things which the affirmative must prove for tlieir side of the question, and that the demands in South Dakota were not in harmony with the situation either in Wiscon sin or New York. She asserted hat a commission plan would destroy home rule in the operation of muni cipal plants either in water works, telephone or electric lights, and that it took away the power from the city council and vested the sanre authority in three persons whose in terest in the development of a town would naturally be limited. She held that to permit the municipal plants to be thus controlled would be a menace to the rights of tlie peo- Judith Gregoson for the affirma tive set forth the great need for con trolling the railroads, the express companies, and other public corpor ations, and did not consider that municipal plants would be injured tho least by such control. Rail roads, she declared, were oppressive in rates and furnished not the ac commodations that the public is en titled to. 'I he present commission of this state had no power fo put into execution its decisions, but the linn, where wi gave the statements of mayors of $1000.00 had the negative side of the ques- decisions pertaining to public ser tion. The judges were G^ h.

She pointed out the weakness of the South Dakota railroad com mission in its efforts to enforce its vice corporations, and held with her colleague that the supreme courft would rarely have an opportunity to reverse any decision that it might. reach. She showed how public ser vice had baen improved ia New York and Wisconsin, with reference to rail roads. So far as municipal plants are concerned, she stated that the people might make complaints about the high rates in existence and there would be no one to whom they could': appeal, whereby with the commte sion in effect redress could be se cured. May Pyle made the closing argu-. ment for the negative, enlarging up-' on the idea of maintaining home rule, urging that South Dakota was not in any such dire need for muni-. cipal control as cities in New York and Wisconsin. The commission plan, she urged, would upset all the laws that have been passed in the last twenty years. She regarded the measure as revolutionary and would operate to the hurt ot municipali ties. She presented statement^, from many of the leading men of tb» state, all of whom were in sympathy with the negative side of the Bubject. The three speakers on each side consumed thirty minutes in offering rebuttal to the statements made. The Mitchell girls presented a strong argument throughout and made good in their rebuttal to stand firm. Thejr did not attempt anything in the way of oratory to impress the judges, but confined their efforts wholly to facts. The three sisters presented a good argument from their point of view, and each of them possess ed a splendid platform appearance In driving home ther arguments, and they won the admiration of the aud ience for their manner of presenting their side of the question. When Mayor Hitchcock announc ed the decision of the judges as be ing in favor of Mitchell the Univer sity students broke loose with yells. They clambered up the stage to ex tend their congratulations. The Miss es Pyle ihurried across the stage to shake hands with their opponents and congratulate tliem on the vict ory. The Huron sisters are good los ers and are fine young ladies. A short reception for the visitors was held in the rear of the hall and punch was served by Misses Florence Walrath, Mildred Derr and Melissa Walrath. At 11:30 o'clock the Huron stu dents departed on their special train were the losers of one. Resolutions of Condolence. Whereas, Comrade James McKin ley has been called from Ransom Post No. 6, Grand Army of the Re public, and mustered into the unseen.

Nellie P.vl". the second speaker for the negative, showed that the condi tions in the states of New York and Wisconsin were such that their inuni cin^1 flnnts should of a necessity be placed under the control of a com mission, but she insisted that such conditions in South Dakota did not exist, and that the tendency or the times was to prevent conditions from gaining such a foothold here.
