Pulpits.
The deep chancel of Trinity cathedral , mas
sive In Its beauty. , is conducive to n deeper de
votion nnd a more majestic worship than can
bo felt and offered nt a less pretentious
shrine. Everything Is so thoroughly In keep
ing there with the tenets of the Christian's
faith and the omnipotence of Him in whose
Klory they have been erected , that the wor-
nhlpper seems to feel the very presence of
God himself and worships him with more
than n mere service of the lips.
The lint object within the chancel rail that
attracts the eye Is the magnificent nltar nnd
rercdos of oak elaborately carved. Immediate
ly above the piano of the table are carved the
solemn "Holy , Holy , Holy" of the To Deum.
Uclow the table plane , upon the projecting
front of the altar , are carvings Illustrative ol
the 1'asslon. This magnlllccnt offering was
erected In 18SI1 by James M. Woolworth.
Immediately In front ot the altar is a tab
let In Mosaic woYk , in loving remembrance
of Illshop Clarkson. Encircling the insignia
of the blshopilc nro these words :
A uorkman that ncodoMi not he ashamed.
The tablet Is the gift of ICIlzn Tumor.
The bishop's chair , which sits within the
nltar rail , Is in memory of Hobcrt Clarkson ,
who died In 1871) ) . A smaller altar for hold
ing tlio communion service is nlllxed to the
wnll to the right of the rercdos , which Is also
of carved oak. To It is uftlxcd n
brass ciosa on which Is engraved
the ono name , "Hattle. " Upon the larger
nltar there is also n brass cross , very
large and solid. On cither side ot the nltar
bland brass candelabra and the altar rail is
also of brass.
There are ten memorial nnd two offering
windows in the chancelof stained glass bear
ing biblical illustrations. The memorial
xvindows nro in remembrance of Alvi Tabor
Twine , the great missionary advocate of tlio
church , Isabella Patterson. Mrs. Mcllono
Moulton Uuttcrfleld , Caroline A. Dickey
James Lloyd Heck , nn eminent missionary ;
Anne D. Barkalow , Anna and Joseph Caldwell -
well , James Kstcllo Peabody , John Henry
Hobnit , once bishop of New York , Mar } ' So-
phronlu Chase , and Mary Xnda Poppleton.
The gift windows are offerings of the chil
dren baptised In St. James church by Bishop
Clarkson and of the Sunday school of St.
Paul's church , Bratnard.
These windows , ns all others In the cathe
dral , nro .simply mugnillccnt and in keeping
with the other decorations nnd furniture of
the edifice.
Next to the nltar the pulpit is the most
striking object in the chancel. Like the other
furnitnro of the church , it is of oak and is
very elaborately carved , being , in fact , fully
ns handsome as anything similar anywhere.
The carvings aio line and intricate. It Ls
circular in shape , and around it upon squared
tablets are Images of Christ , holding a tablet
upon which nro carved the Greek , Alpha mid
Omega "the beginning and the cud. " Then
come St. Mark , St. John , St. Matthew and
St. Luke. The altar and the choir rail , also
of carved oak , were erected by Mr. nnd Mrs.
Herman Kount/o , in memory of their chil
dren , Margaret Elizabeth and Iilllln May.
On the right-hand aide of the chancel'is the
bishop's throne , elected , together with the
canons attached , in remembrance of Hobcrt
Clarson Woolworth by his mother. On the
other .side of the chancel , exactly like the
bishop's throne , Is the dean's stall , erected
in memory of Sophia Mary Buel' '
nud Leonora Begs Woolworth 'by their
brother and sister. Both the throne and
stall arc of carved oak and nro very hand
some , as are also the choir stalls erected in
memory of Samuel Bean , once a vestryman
of the cathedral , by his wife.
The litany desk , of carved oak , was given
to the cathedral by the clergy and laity of
Dakota , "in remembeanco of eighteen years
of a .shepherd's cnro of the ( lock of God , our
lllght Hov. Father in God , Uobert Harper
Clarkson , D.D. "
The baptismal font of whlto and black mar-
bio , is in memory of Frederick C. aud Clark-
son Davis.
This completes the magnificent chancel of
Trinity cathedral , any more beautiful than
which nro seldom seen anywhere. Every
thing else about the church is
in keeping nnd it would bo remiss
not to mention hero the beautiful tribute to
the memory of Gilbert II. Collins , n painting
of "Faith , " wonderful In design and execu
tion , by Costa , and n copy of the Transfigura
tion by Raphael , the latter presented to the
cliutch by Mrs. Linlnger.
It would bo also dcrilcct not to mention
the tin eo very largo memorial windows , ono
on either side of the church und tno third at
the western end. The ono on the north Is in
incinoiy of George Augustus Selwyn , apostle
mid founder and llrst bishop of New Zealand ,
presented by "a family who know and loved
him. " The ono on the north is in memory of
John Coleridge Patterson , "bishop "and
martyr , " erected by "O. li. and U. H. C. "
The third Is In memory of Jackson Keinper ,
the first American missionary , erected by the
children of the cathedral and her missions.
A Successful Prqlcor.
OMUIA , May 29. To the Editor of TUB
Biu : : For a long time the people Immediately
Interested In nnd connected with the First
Methodist church of this city , have desired a
better house of worship. More than once
nn effort has been made to begin n now
chm ch building , and , because of the timidity
of some who had to bo depended upon to
como forward tvlth the money necessary to
the execution of the design , the Attempts
were not successful.
Tlio history of this congregation cannot
hero bo stated , but it has been repeatedly
overtaken with misfortunes , such as have
befallen no other church organisation in the
city. Though threatened with disaster nt
other dates , today It presents nil the Indica
tions of a vigorous unit permanent society.
And in the opinion iff the wisest counsellors ,
the activities of this Church could bo made
apparent , nnd much moro elllciont only by
providing Itself with n substantial nnd com
modious structure , in which to hold its regu
lar services , and ample in dimensions for the
accommodation of the representative Metho
dists of the city , when meeting for purposes
of general nnd denominational interests.
Tlu ) construction of an edifice adequate to
the wants of this , growing and populous
church wius projected moro than a year since.
At this writing , Its towering walls , veneered
with dark red Uoinan brick , trimmed with
terra cotta belts , columns and coping , prc-
flcnts mi attractive and massive appearance ,
which will be augmented when the well de
signed tower at the northwest corner shall bo
roared to its full height.
On Sunday , Juno 8 , these people propose
to occupy the b.isomont of tlio now house ,
now almost ready for the painters' finishing
touch. These rooms will much better servo
the purposes of the membership In general ,
and the Sunday school In paiticulur , than the
old , faded structure which they will use for
the lost time on next Sunday , Juno 1 , The
presence of Bishop Newman on the occasion
of taking possession of the new house will bo
inspiring In no slight degree. To him , moro
than any , Is to bo accorded the projecting of
the enterprise , and no one will participate In
the BOrvIco with u heartier zett than the
bishop himself.
These people are preparing to make the oc
casion of occupancy as interesting as possi
ble , and will bo pleased with the prcsouco of
all who may have nn inclination to partici
pate In the devout thanksgiving that will bo
felt and , most likely , expressed.
The building is n credit not only to the pro
jectors , but to the city. And , as nil large
and costly houses add to the general wealth
of the municipality , this building , reared for
the purposes of the moral well-being of cltl-
rcns , and to promote practical piety in the
central part of the town , will materially aid
in iMllcu regulations , and hence bo doubly
advantageous to every resident of the com
munity in which the church building U lo
cated ,
The auditorium nnd gallery and pulpit will
be completed as early ns tno beginning of
next winter , nnd when ready for use and
dedication will bo the most Imposing , ns well
as the best arranged In thu city. J. II.

CiUMBr.iti.Ais , S. D. , May CO. [ Specla'
to Tnn BEB. ] A case recently tried before
the district court hero brings vividly to the
minds of tlio old-timers In Dakota an Inter
cstlng bit of history lu regard to pioneer day ?
In the territory. During early days ono oi
tlio most widely known men In this section 01
the northwest was "Jim11 Sonicrs. Some
twenty-llvo years ago SoinoM , who Is said tc
always have been of u roving and advcntur
ous disposition , left his home in Now Bruns
wick and started for the west In search of
adventure. Ho could not have located in n
section that suited his tastes better than was
afforded by the class of people who Infested
the frontier of Dakota , and with whom ho
was soon hail fellow well met. Soniers , soon
after his arrival In the territory , made frlenda
with the very worst desperadoes along the
Missouri river. "Jim" was a powerful man ,
with a magnlllccnt physique. Ho stood six
feet in his stockings , and had red hair and o
full red beard. Ho was known all along th c
Missouri river as a fearless , reckless anil
most dangerous antagonist , and these who
knew him were very careful not to cross his
quick and Ilery temper. Many exciting stor
ies are related as to his reckless deeds. After
spending several years hi the vicinity ol
\ankton , Sonars left for the upper country ,
and went into the stock business. Ho was
surrounded with companions almost as des-
pprato as himself men who had mar
ried Sioux squaws and lived as
icekless lives as the most desper
ate , outlaws. At Irregular Intervals
Soincre and his companions would go tc
Yankton , the trading point for the whole
river country , and about the only town then
iu existence in the territory , for supplies , and
these visits were always celebrated in * a roarIng -
Ing old drunk , in which the whole party took
part. When drunk these desperadoes were
perfect llcnds and were permitted to have
things almost their own way while in the
town. During one of these visiUi to yank-
ton , Somers , out of pure deviltry , drew his
six-shooter and deliberately shot and killed a
pony which was hitched to a post in front of
a saloon from which the ruflhm had just
emerged , considerably under the influence-
liquor. The owner of the pony at once had a
warrant sworn out for Souiers' arrest , aud It
was placed in the hands of Sheriff Black of
Yanktou county , to bo served. The sheriff ,
who was a man of considerable nerve ,
promptly started after his m.iu and soon lo
cated him In a saloon. Going up to the des
perado , who was leaning on the bar , the
sheriff informed him of the object of his visit
and notified him to consider himself under
nrrcst. Somers , without a word , as soon its
the sheriff had coaled speaking , whipped out
his ready six-shooter , leveled it at the approaching
preaching form of the sheriff and lived. The
ball , of heavy calibre , passed completely
through the sheriff's bowels. During the
Dxcitement occasioned by this act tlio
desperado succeeded in reaching the side
walk , where ho Jumped upon his pony and
headed up river. But a short time after
some of the wounded sheriff's friends formed
n posse , aud getting track of Somers , started
in piu-suit , closely following him up the river
[ is far as the present location of Chamber
lain. Upon arriving hero the fugitive crossed
to American island in the Missouri river ,
stationed himself on the upper
und of the island , his position
enabling him to have a clear view
sf tno nvcr and gave him an opportunity to
prevent his pursuers from crossing. When
the posse arrived opposite the island and saw
Lho chance ! , they must take to capture the
; losporado , they wisely decided to give up the
[ ilinso. Sheriff Black , who was seriously
wounded in the affray in Yankton. died some
( ears afterwards in an eastern hospital from
: he effects ot the wound ho received at that
Lime. Ho was a man beloved by the law-
ibldins people on the frontier , and his death
it the hands of Somera caused bitter hatred
toward the murderer. Somcr.s remained on
Lho island for several months , and it was said
that not a single ofllccr of the law In the ter
ritory dared attempt Ills capture. After this
pisode Somers remained in the vicinity of
lus homo until the affair had died out. when
! io became as bold as usual and openly boasted
Lhat no ofllccr could over capture him alive.
Ho soon turned his attention to politics , and
iv.is elected as a member of the legislature
From Brulo county. After Jim had taken his
> cat among his colleagues as ono of Dakota's
[ awmakers , some person in his distiict had
the temerity to Hie a contest for his seat , and
it was whispered around that ho was to bo
unseated. It should bo borne in mind that in
Ihoso days of primitive existence members of
the legislature wore made and unmade with
in ease and dexterity that spoke volumes for
iho fearless independence of our early law
makers. Jim heard the mutteriugs of the im
pending storm ono afternoon , but entered
10 protest against it at that timo.
EIo requested of the speaker of the
louse that ho bo given until the next day to
.n-eparo his argument and "evidenco" ho
.vanted. . When the legislature convened
icxt day , and nearly all the members were in
; heir seats , Jim came Into the liall with two
argo navy revolvers in his belt. Ho walked
lown the aisle to his seat , pulled out his six-
shooters from Ills belt , laid them on tlio desk
> eforo nlm and deliberately took his scat.
L'ho legislators , anticipating what was coni
ng , cast uneasy glances about them and
ookcd as though they had urgent business
'around the corner. " After a short pause ,
luring which tlmo a phi might have been
icard if dropped upon the tloor , Jim slowly
iroso and said :
"Mr. Speaker , I want to see the
that is after my seat. I am ready to give
lim my argument now. "
Then flourishing the two revolvers in front
if him as he llnlshed his short and business-
iko speech , ho calmly sat down , with the re-
rolvers ready for notion. It Is scarcely noc-
issary to add that there was no further con-
eating of Seniors' scat.
During the tlmo ho was n member of the
eglslaturo Jim Is reported as having been
in excellent lawmaker. When hoaiosoto
nako a speech the closest attention
vas always paid to what ho said , and ho was
ilways ready for any emergency. When talk
ailed him ho was willing to back his argu-
nent with the frowning muzzles of his over
laudy alx-shooters and an argument of this
dnd was always sure to bo effective.
Somers' death was a Htting ending for tno
larcdovil life ho had led. Ho died in the
outhorn portion of Brulo county ,
, nd "with his boots on. " A brother
if his named Lafayette had taken a
latin In this county , and a long contest
ook place between tlio brothers for the pos-
osston of the claim , Jim claiming it on the
; round that Lafayette was not n citizen and
horoforo could not ttlo on public land. Tno
ontest grow more bitter day by day , but at
list Jim secured a foothold and commenced
muling logs preparatory to building himself
, house on the coveted land. Lafayette ,
lacked by two grown sons , notillcd Jim that
10 must cease oporutitms at once. Jim ro
used to do so , and ono morning while en-
: ngcd In building his house , was visited by
Iradloy Somors. a nephew of Jim's and son
f Lafayette , who told Jim ho must remove
ils logs from the claim without any further
elay. A heated controversy took place ,
k'hleh resulted In Jim grabbing his Wlnches-
cr rltlo standing near , and without another
, 'onl ho sent n ball crashing through the body
f his nephew , who wosbuta lad of eighteen.
3ven in the throes of death the determined
, -ill and iiorvo of the young man enabled
I in to return the lire of his undo with fatal
ffoct , and both men died with their boots on.
'his man whoso career was suddenly and
raglcally terminated was sorgeant-at-arins
f the first session of the territorial council ,
ml was twice elected and served as a mem-
or of the territorial house. The claim that
ho fatal fight resulted over is now ono of the
test valuable farms In the county and is in
tie possession of Lafayette Somers.
