The Blind Man,

Heretofore Catholic church prop
erty has been held IN fee simple by
the Bishop as all familiar with the
workings of that church will know,
but there is now a disposition on the
part of these churches, seconded by
the Bishops themselves, to adopt
the Protestant style of holding
church property. Under this view
Bishop Marty of Yankton, has de-
puted Rev. Father Collins Rector
of ST. Joseph's church of this city,
to have the same Incorporated under
the laws of the territory, and the
property will be held by a board Of
trustees, consisting of the Bishop
the pastor Of the church and two
members of the church to be select
ed by the church society. Rev.
Collins informs as that this system
is prevailing and will no doubt be-
come general throughout the United
States.

They Come Our Way.

The best evidence of the prospect
ty of any section OF a county is the
fact of its being known and honor
ed in other places. The great cat
erers to the amusement-loving public
are the first to find successful and
prosperous localities in which to
cast their lines. The knowledge OF
this, and the fact that the very
greatest show on earth is coming to
Sioux City Monday August lIth,
is fiattering to III people here.
The great show we refer to is S. II.
Barrett & Co.'S Colossal United
Railroad Shows. Every wonder
new and strange, known or conceiv-
able, from the arenic and geological
world, and the greatest and rarest
curiosities of nature and art, are to
be found in that vast city of canvass.
1t is a show that compliments us by
coming, and one hat is worthy OF
an unprecedented patronage. Look
out for their advertisements in
this issue. 1t is the. only big
show coming to Sioux City and its
name is BARRETT. Will also exhib.
it at Yankton, Saturday, Aug. 9th.

SOiree Musicale.

The Musicale given by Mrs. Ward
Mallory's musical class, at LaBelle
hall last night, was the most enjoya.
bic entertainment of theseason, espec.
tally to the parents of the scholars
who participated. The programme
consisted of twenty-one numbers ar.
ranged with such taste and aptness
that it displayed the musical talent
OF each scholar in the best possible
manner, As we have before said in
these columns, Mrs. Mallory has not
a superior as a music teacher any
where, and the large audience pres
ent last night were perfectly aston
ished at the progress made and
proficiency Of her scholars, most OF
whom are little girls from five to
ten years old. 1t would be Unjust
to attempt to particularize and point
out the superior excellence of any
portion Of these little performers.
for they all did so exceedingly well
that q better music critic than our
self would be puzzled to point out
one in the class desiring more praise
than another. We give the names
of the scholars participating in this
entertainment as follows: Miss
May Miller, Miss May Comfy, Miss
lnga Thronson, Miss Nellie Freeman,
Misses Allie and Myrtle Talcott,
Miss Mabel Mallahan, Miss Addie
Beggs, Miss Josie Smythe, Master
Dellie Burdick, and Miss Dema
Steckman. Our time this morn
ing will not permit US to give this
mustcole such a notice that it de-
serves, but we cannot fail to mention
aside from the superior excellence
ofthe musical talent displayed, that
some artists hand had something to
do with decorating the stage, for it
was the most beautiful and artist
icly arranged affair we have ever
seen. 1t was q perfect bower of
flowers and other decorations, ar
ranged with the most pleasing eff
feet. Elk Point can feel justly
proud of its musical talent, the de-
velopment of which, in such q mar
ked degree, can be attributed to the
superior ability of Mrs. Mallory as
a teacher.
