In 1890, J. M. Bailey, Jr., opened his private library to the pub- lic, and the books of the Sioux Falls public library were placed there. Mr. Bailey's library was closed during the summer of 1891, owing to his decease and the books belonging to the public library from this time until January, 1892, were not obtainable.
On New Year's Day, 1892, the books belonging to the public library were transferred to rooms in the Edmison-Jameson building. At this time there were about five hundred books, but the number has been constantly added to until it now numbers over two thousand volumes.
This association has an annual and a life membership, and from the fees obtained therefrom the association is maintained. The selec- tion of books has been carefully made, and embraces such a variety

of subjects that the reading public is well served. The library is open three afternoons and Saturday evening of each week, and is now located in the Norton-Murry block.
The Rev. W. J. Skillman was elected president in 1886, and re- ceived five annual re-elections thereafter. In 1892, the Rev. A. H. Grant was elected president for one year. At the annual election of officers in 1893, E. A. Sherman was elected president, and has been re-elected at each subsequent annual election. Mrs. Eliza T. Wilkes, Mrs. T. A. Robinson, Mrs. D. S. Glidden and Miss Anna Emerson have been prominent officials of the association, and active promoters of its interests.
LADIES MUSICAL SOCIETY .- This society organized November 4, 1892, with the following charter members: Miss Anna Strom, Mes- dames F. H. Gillet, R. F. Pettigrew, R. G. Parmley, U. S. G. Cherry, D. S. Glidden, and Miss Mikkelsen. The first officers were Miss Anna Strom president and Mrs. Glidden vice president.
The mere mention of the names of the charter members dis- closes the fact that this organization was well supplied with musical talent. The June following, when the first season's work had been completed, the membership had increased to forty, and on August 1, 1895, it had fifty-four members enrolled. Musicales were held every alternate Saturday afternoon during the months from October to June, inclusive, and at the close of the season a grand concert was given.
Several of the members of this society, notably Mrs. Etta Estey Boyce, Mrs Anna Strom Smith, Mrs. E. A. Sherman, and Mrs. U. S. G. Cherry, are highly cultured musicians. It is to be regretted that this organization which on many occasions gave the people of Sioux Falls rare musical entertainments, through removals from the city and the assumption of other important duties by its most de- voted members, found it necessary to disband.
MINNEHAHA MANDSKOR. This singing society organized De- cember 21, 1890, with the following charter members: G. Bie Ravn- dal, J. A. Jacobson, T. Hamann, Dr. J. S. Johnson, John Solberg, G. H. Kiland, O. S. Swenson, A. Nesheim, R. A. Strom, K. E. Lo- men, G. C. Christopherson, A. S. Johnson, Ole Oleson, O. Johnson, P. A. Sorum, A. Kiland, M. Olson, C. E. Christopherson, P. Elling- son, P. J. Morstad, Rev. H. B. Thorgrimson.
The officers were: 1890, J. S. Johnson musical director, G. Bie Ravndal president, K. E. Lomen vice president, T. Hamann secre- tary and treasurer; 1891, A. K. Inseth muscial director, P. J. Mor- stad president, A. Kiland vice president, T. Hamann secretary, and David Jacobson treasurer; 1892, A. K. Inseth musical director, P. A. Sorum president, A. Kiland vice president, T. Hamann secre- tary, J. A. Jacobson treasurer; 1893, Carl Mannerud musical di- rector, G. Bie Ravndal president, P. J. Morstad vice president, T. Hamann secretary, J. A. Jacobson treasurer; 1894, all the officers of the society for 1893 were re-elected; 1895, Carl Mannerud musical director, G. Bie Ravndal president, P. A. Sorum vice president, T. Hamann secretary, P. Ellingson treasurer. In 1896 and 1897 T. Ha-

mann was president and Carl Mannerud musical director. In 1898, K. E. Lomen was elected president, and Carl Mannerud director.
The Minnehaha Mandskor is worthy of a more extended notice than the mere mention that it is a singing society and giving a list of its officials, for it was this organization that first conceived the idea of bringing all the Scandinavian singing societies of the Northwest into a musical union. With this end in view, invitations were sent to the different Scandinavian singing societies of the territory men- tioned, with the result that a meeting was held in Germania hall September 24, 1891, when the Northwestern Scandinavian Singing Association was organized. Their first festival was held in Sioux Falls on July 12, 13 and 14, 1892, when 250 singers participated, representing eleven societies.,
This association held another great festival at Sioux City in July, 1894, and the Minnehaha Mandskor won the prize banner. But the winning of the banner is a little matter of consequence to the Minnehaha Mandskor, in comparison to the pride its members may justly feel in seeing their little plant so modestly born, result in an organization extending over so large a territory, and annually bring- ing together hundreds of its members to enjoy a great singing festi- val and revive the beautiful songs of their native land.
The Minnehaha Mandskor is one of the societies organized in Sioux Falls that has been constantly growing in public favor, and the people of this county hope that it will "live long and prosper."
WOMAN'S BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION. This association was or- ganized in Sioux Falls on the 11th day of February, 1890.
Prior to this time, a few ladies of Sioux Falls known as the "charity committee," had devoted considerable time to charitable work among the poor and afflicted of the city, and while so doing, had become convinced that there should be more laborers in the field, and a more systematic course pursued than could be done without a thorough organization. With this end in view, this committee framed a constitution and by-laws, and made an earnest appeal to the women in the city to come together at the Presbyterian church on the 11th day of February, 1890. This appeal brought together quite a number of earnest women, who at once proceeded to adopt a con- stitution and by-laws, and to elect officers of the association. Com- mittees were appointed to have in charge special work, and as one of the objects was to encourage people to become self-supporting, as well as to afford temporary relief to the unfortunate, an employment bureau was established. A room was secured in the Syndicate block, and a woman employed and put in charge. In addition to securing situations for the needy, a school was organized for the purpose of teaching young girls to sew, and how to care for their persons in cleanliness and dress.
From the beginning this association has been doing a grand work, and one of its features that is particularly worthy of commendation, and one that gives it so much of the public confidence, is the system- atic and thorough investigation that is made of all applications for relief.
But we should fall short of giving a correct impression of what
407
HISTORY OF MINNEHAHA COUNTY.
is being done by this associations, if we failed to record the fact, that it does not wait to receive applications for relief, but promptly in- vestigates all reports of sufferings from poverty or sickness in the city, and when found to be true, temporary relief is afforded.
This association has at all times had an efficient corps of officials, and through its good work has become established as one of the in- stitutions of the city that the people will not suffer to want for mater- ial support.
The first officers elected were Mrs. J. A. Pettigrew president, Mrs. Hattie C. Phillips vice president, Mrs. J. K. Davis secretary, Mrs. J. G. Eddy treasurer.
In September, 1891, Mrs. Hattie Phillips was elected president, Mrs. Hartsough vice president, Mrs. W. P. Carr secretary, Mrs. J. G. Eddy treasurer.
In 1892, Mrs. T. B. McMartin was elected president, Mrs. Hattie Phillips vice president, Mrs. J. W. Butterfield secretary, Mrs. A. Beveridge treasurer.
Since 1892, Mrs. McMartin has been annually elected president of the association, and as the chief executive officer, has conducted its affairs to the great satisfaction of the association and the public.
HOSPITALS .- A hospital was established in the city of Sioux Falls during the fall of 1888. It was located on the east side of the river, and was principally the work of the Rev. Frederick Gardiner, then rector of the Episcopal church in Sioux Falls. But there was not at that time sufficient interest taken in such an enterprise to make it a success, and after a few months the project was abandoned until the summer of 1894, when a few gentlemen of Sioux Falls and vicinity conceived the idea of establishing a hospital in the city. It was in- corporated June 14, 1894, and was called the Sioux Falls Hospital. The first directors of the corporation were B. H. Lien, A. Chris- topherson, J. W. Jensen, A. Mikkelsen, Rev. N. Boe, A. Hovde, M. D., G. Bie Ravndal, C. G. Leyse and G. H. Kiland of Sioux Falls, J. A. Blilie of Flandreau, E. Dale of Spink county, John T. Lee of Brandon, and R. Malmin of Yankton. The capital stock is $10,000, divided into shares of $10 each. The Seney residence property in the northwestern part of the city was leased and comfortably and appropriately fitted up for hospital purposes, and opened to the pub- lic the first week of September following. At the expiration of the lease in the fall of 1896, the Cameron residence on Dakota avenue was procured, and the hospital removed to that place. Dr. Zetlitz has had general charge of the patients from the first, but the hospi- tal is open to all physicians of the city. It has been well conducted, and is now recognized as one of the established institutions of the city of Sioux Falls.
TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES.
The first organization of a temperance society in Minnehaha county of which there is any reliable record, was established by the ladies of Sioux Falls on the 22d day of April, 1872. At that time Mes- dames Phillips, Coats, Covell, Dickson, Franklin, Sharpe and a few others, believing that the welfare of the little village would be

promoted by a temperance society, met and perfected a temperance organization.
The first meetings of the society were held in the barracks, of course, and aside from its regular business meetings, one meeting was had to which the public had been invited, and it was largely attended. A platform had been made of dry-goods boxes and decorated with flags made by members of the society, one of these flags is now in the possession of Mrs. Hattie Phillips, of Sioux Falls. All of the ap- pointments were of a primitive character-a dirt floor, and seats con- structed of boards laid upon boxes-but it was the first public tem- perance meeting in the county, and it was a pronounced success. Mrs. Wm. VanEps, Mrs. Covell and Mr. O. Q. Holman sang several temperance songs. This society kept up its organization for about a year.
On the 7th day of December, 1874, a lodge of Sons of Temper- ance was organized in Sioux Falls, with a membership of twenty. This organization flourished for a little more than a year, but did nothing of an aggressive character, confining its work principally to the dissemination of temperance literature and endeavoring to save young people from the evils of intemperance.
The first of April, 1878, the Rev. J. H. Lozier commenced a course of temperance lectures in Sioux Falls, and at its conclusion on the 10th day of April, a pledge of total abstinance was signed by 267 persons. At this time it was proposed to make an aggressive campaign against intemperance; in short, to take a step in advance of what had hitherto been done, and prosecute the illegal selling of intoxicating liquors.
On the 25th day of June, 1878, a lodge of Good Templars was organized in Sioux Falls, called the Dakota Temple of Honor No. 1, and the following officers were elected: W. H. Phelps chief templar, A. E. Welsh vice templar, Frank Van De Mark recorder, Wm. Bainbridge treasurer, G. W. Howard financial recorder, C. V. Booth chaplain, George Place usher, Geo. Thompson deputy usher, Archie Smith guardian, E. Booth sentinel, J. C. Kahl past templar. This organization flourished for awhile, but in the course of a year it ceased to exist.
In March, 1881, another lodge of Good Templars was organized with about fifty charter members, and this organization was kept up for several years.

Young, Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Hopkins, Mrs. God- dard, Mrs. Richardson.

In June, 1886, the association invited G. R. Simpson of Faribault, to become its general secretary, at a salary of eight hundred dollars a year, which was accepted, and Mr. Simpson removed to Sioux Falls.
The first Sunday afternoon meeting was held on the 12th day of September, 1886, the Rev. P. E. Holp and the Rev. Joseph Ward of Yankton conducting the exercises. The first meeting for men only, was held on the 19th day of September of that year.

411
HISTORY OF MINNEHAHA COUNTY.
In February, 1889, the officers of the association resigned, and an election was held to fill the vacancies. L. T. Butterfield was elected president, Professor L. McCartney vice president, L. R. Root treasurer, Benjamin Jones recording secretary, and a new board of directors. At the annual election in May, the officers elected in February were re-elected. On the 6th day of May, 1889, a unanimous call was extended to Fred B. Smith to become the gen- eral secretary of the association, at a salary of one thousand dollars per year, which he accepted. The first of October the association perfected articles of incorporation, and held an election on the 6th day of October, 1889, when L. T. Butterfield was elected president, H. M. Avery vice president, L. R. Root treasurer, F. L. Osgood re- cording secretary, and a board of directors consisting of eight mem- bers. On the 25th of November a special meeting was held, and it was decided to select a suitable location and erect a building for the association.
On the 13th day of January, 1890, rooms were leased of E. G. Ledyard at a rental of one thousand dollars per year; and the asso- ciation moved into the rooms the following February.
On the 21st day of September, anniversary exercises were held in the opera house, at which time C. L. Gates of New York, the in- ternational secretary of the railroad work of the association, deliv- ered an address upon the branch of work which he represented. President Butterfield reported that at the time F. B. Smith took hold of the work as general secretary for the association the mem- bership roll numbered 49 only-37 being active and 12 associate members, but that through the efficient work of Secretary Smith the membership had increased to 259, of which 112 were active, 91 asso- ciate and 56 sustaining members.
On Wednesday, October 22, 1890, the seventeenth annual con- vention of the Young Men's Christian Association of the states of Minnesota and the two Dakotas commenced at 7:15 o'clock in the evening in the Congregational church in Sioux Falls. This conven- tion lasted until the Sunday evening following. A large number of people were present, including several noted speakers from New York, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota. The concluding exercises of this tri-state convention were held in the opera house and were largely attended. A series of resolutions were passed, one of which protested against the opening of the World's Fair on the Lord's day.
About this time Mrs. Hattie Phillips offered to give the associa- tion a lot on Phillips avenue, if the association would erect a building thereon at a cost of $25,000. This offer was accepted, but the pro- ject was never carried out for want of the necessary funds.
October 6, 1890, H. M. Avery was elected president, C. E. Baker vice president, and at the same time a treasurer, recording secretary and a board of directors were elected.
On the 13th day of April, 1891, Secretary Smith sent in his res- ignation, to take effect the first day of July following. In May, negotiations were entered into to secure the services of A. M. Wight of Summerville, Massachusetts, as secretary, which resulted in his coming to Sioux Falls and assuming the duties of the office on the 1st day of October, 1891.

On the 6th day of October, 1891, at the annual meeting L. D. Spragle was elected president, C. E. Baker vice president, P. C. Pinkham recording secretary, L. T. Butterfield treasurer, and a board of eight directors.
At a meeting of the association on the 12th day of September, 1892, it was unanimously voted to retain the services of Mr. Wight as secretary for another year, at a salary of twelve hundred dollars.

There were at that time 328 members of the association, but the hard times made it impossible to keep it up, and it gradually sub- sided into a state of inactivity, until January, 1899, when some young men of Sioux Falls again organized an association, a constitution and by-laws were adopted, and the following officers were elected: Geo. F. Knappen president, B. C. Mathews vice president, Roy Wyman secretary, Chauncey Tuthill treasurer, Max F. Beveridge member at large.
