FATHER BouRRET RETURNS
Reception and Presentation to the Pastor
 of St Annps Last Night

reception and Presentation to the Pastor
 of St Ann's Last Night.
 Rev J. E. Bourret, pastor of St Ann's church, returned home Wednesday, after spending a six weeks vacation in the south and west. Since his return his sparishioners have been arranging a sur. prise for him and last night it came to a successful termination. All afternoon yesterday Rev Joseph J. Papillon, the curate of St Ann's. kept Father Bourret at home in the rectory and he therefore dld not see that preparations were being made for some sort of reception in the church.
 As 1t struck the hour of last night a committee of the parishioners entered the rectory and requested Father Bourret to come to the church immediately as his presence was desired. The pastor and curate entered the church, which was brilliantly lighted. As he entered the door the Connecticut National baud, which was in attendance, burst forth in n tune of welcome. Father Bourret was escorted to the chancel rails The audi enee. which filled the church to overflow ing, arose as the pastor walked down the aisle
 At the altar rail were awaiting Father Bourre', J. NJ. Btril, president ot LUnion St Joseph; J N. Bernier. presi- dent of St Jean Baptiste society; Mrs Boudreau, president St Ann's society, and Miss recteau. president of the Children of Mary. President Baril then read an ad- dress ot welcome. The address was couched Tn language which showed the love and veneration in which the pastor IS he'd. In behalf of L'Union StJoseph and the St Jean Baptiste societies he presented to the pastor beautiful silk American flag to be used on the school building. For the St Ann's so- clrty and the Children of Mary he pre- sented two weighty purses as New Year $ gifts.
 The pastor was so completely taken by surprise that for few moments he could scarcely reply to the enthusiastic welcome tendered him. When he did speak his words were touching and heartfelt ones and he closed by wishing all happy and prosperous New Year.

THE WAYslDE INN.
Manager iMarsh Express.a Indignation
 at Being Retired in MIdwInter.

Manager iMarsh Express.s Indignation at Being Retired in MidwInter.
 Frank P. Marsh, who has been manager of the Wayside Inn for some months, and his son, Burt A. Marsh, who was cashier of the same. will sever their connection with that hostelry Saturday night, and | thereby hangs tale Some four months ago when Mir Marsh took charge of the inn, he found the dining room in a state of demoralization. The patronage was poor and the service still poorer. He took hold of the placeat once and began a sys- tenn of management which brought the dining room up to a good standard until tc day it has as nlce class of good patrons as any restaurant in the city. Recently some of the directors got together and decided to dispense with Mir Marsh's services and gave him two weeks notice. The reasons, he was told, were that the they intended to run the place without a general manager.
 Mir Marsh was seen by a reporter to-day and felt very indignant that such a pro- ceeding had taken place right in mid winter. It prevented him from making arrangements to go south, as was his an nual custom, as the season was too far ad- vanced. He said that he had worked from early morning till late at night to make the restaurant a success and had just about succeeded when he was dropped like a hot coal. He lad a reputation at stake. he said, and the public ought to know that he was not dropped for incapa- bility. He also said that some of the di- rectors and stockholders had not been ap- preached on the matter and were not pres ent at the meeting in which he was re- leased. He can make no arrangements to open his usual southern restaurant, as the season is practically over. The restau- rant. he said. is in better condition than ever. He did not know what the directors intended doing. but was positive that without head it could not be a success. Many of the patrons had already signiied their intention of goipg elsewhere.
 Charles r. Kellogg, one of the stock holders, was asked why Mir Marsh was re- tired. He said that the management was such that It was not a paying investment He did not know how the place would be managed. The restaurant would not be abolished, he said, but would be con- unued for the present at any rate. None of the directors would accept the manage ment, he said, as they have sufficient other work to attend to.

Not many weeks ago some Of cur farm
ers down in Gentry county and in this
county also had more money than they
needed to pay the interest on tteir mort
cages and SO away they went to Omaha
and other places and scraped the bott om
OF their pockets for nickles and put it
al into hogs. Then they brought the
hogs home and on last accounts were
buying medicine on time and putting
that into hogs also. Farmers, don't 60
and buy any moro hogs IN Omaha. II
you have no use for your own hog pens
d. remember that other men want to
keep hogs. No matter how cheap hogs
are in the stock yards in Omaha, don't
60 after them. No matter how fatter-
ing the prospects may be, don't 60 to
Omaha for hogs. Remember you have
debts TO pay. Remember that you have
corn that ought to be eaten up by hogs
OF your own or your neighbor's raising.
Let others make success at getting
hogs in Omaha. but don't 20 after them
yourself. Let the Indians buy them
and take them west. Let the packers
buy them and pack them in salt, but
don't for the health OF your neighbor's
hogs bring them into Worth or Gentry
county. Remember that hog cholera is
Q treacherous thing. and that no cure
has ever yet been found for it. You had
b,tter just pen up two old hens and
tootbless sheep and feed them your
whole crop rather than go far away to
buy your hogs. The farmers ought to
organize into band and drum the first
man who goes away to Omaha and
brings load Of hogs. The poor fellows
who did 90 are very sorrow they ever
saw Omaha. They need our sympathy
from the bottom OF their hearts. They
will not go there any more. II farmers
would only read their home papers
little moro they would not start off ON
such foolish tramps. So do not 60 and
bring any hogs from Omaha, for the
very stock yards must be dreuched witt.
