The management of st. Mlchael's
Church at Saltwater. Mimi, has decided
to turn over the parochial schools to the
School Board in order to give the schol-
ars the benefit OF the graded system.
In the past few years many Catholics at
| Saltwater have sent their scholars to
the public schools in preference to the
church schools. Two. Catholics are
members Of the public school board.
This move it is claimed Will result in
| great saving to the church. Father
Corcoran, of st. Michael's Church, IA
yored the idea. and permission was Oh
tanned from Archbishop Ireland. The
parochial schools of Farlbault were
turned over to the city two months ago
and formed a precedent for the case.

late high wind, he lost his stables by
fire last Saturday morning. Mr.. East"

stable while he ate his breakfast, with
the result That the stable was soon
afire. There were eight stacks Of
wheat within few feet Of the burning
stable which he succeeded in saving
with the assistance of neighbors. The
stacks caught fire several times, but
there being no wind they We're saved.

Reliable information from Emmons
county places the losses by the recent
prairie fires at much less Than first re-
ported. The last fire did the most dam
age in the Holland settlement, which is
in the southern and central part of the
county. George johnson and his 500,
residing eight miles north of that settle
ment, were the only ones to lose their
lives. At the time of the fire regular
tornado was blowing, and the extra
firebreaks that had been prepared would
not stop the flames; in fact, it would
have been impossible to prevent the
fires spread by freb1eaks. The resi-
dents of Emmons county are consider
ably exercised over their mishap. They
were generally in a prosperous condi.
tion, and now, to be the only county in
the state to require assistance makes
them feel their situation keenly.
