bault, Minn. From there he went to
New York and joined the Paulist order.
During the three years that he re-
mained there he gained an enviable
name for public speaking. Through
out New York city he was known as
"The Eloquent Paulist." His next
charge was at Faribault, Minn. In
1885 he was elected to the presidency
of ST. Thomas seminary. Six years
later, in the fall of 1891, Father O'Gor-
man was called to the chair of church
history in the Catholic university at
Washington. During his connection
with that institution he has won the
admiration of all for his scholarly and
efficient work, 'The History of the
Roman Catholic Church in America, /"
which was published by him last year,
stands as lasting monument to his
ability as thinker and writer. But
his fame rests largely on his eloquence.
AS a public speaker he stands among
the foremost of American Catholics.
| Els power to move men is, perhaps,
the chief factor, of his reputation, but
not the secret of his entire influence.
Father O'Gorman is man of strong
personality and may we'll trust in his
own magnetic powers to sway the souls
of those who come in contact with him.
Thousands listened to his dedicatory
remarks at the Hill seminary last
September and marveled at the flow of
oratory that proceeded from the lips of
the man.
\ Father O'Gorman is warm personal
friend of Cardinal Satolli and ac-
companied him on many of his recent
trips about the country. Living here
in ST. Paul are two brothers of the new
bishop. William O'Gorman, the ex.
secretary of the fire board, and Henry
O'Gorman, ex-iudge of probate. The
installation ceremony will take place
at Sioux Falls some time in the neal
future. 1t will be attended by many o
the dignitaries of the Catholic churcf
in this part of the country. Fathel
!. O'Gorman's predecessor is Fathe
Marty who was transferred to the pro
vince OF ST. Cloud.-St. Paul Pionee
Press.

NEW BISHOP or SIOUX FALLS.
Father o'Gorman, Formerly of st. Paul
Thus Honored.


Father o'Gorman, Formerly of st. Paul,
Thus Honored.
An Associated Press cablegram from
Rome received yesterday announced
the fact that Rev. Father Thomas
OGorman, formerly of st. Paul, had
been appointed bishop of Sioux Falls.
His elevation to that Office will presum-
ably take place in a few weeks. At
present Father O'Gorman occupies the
chair of ecclesiastical history in the
Catholic University of America at
Washington.
The announcement of Father O'Gor-
mans appointment was received with
pleasure by the Catholics of ST. Paul.
The concensus of opinion is that the
distinction has been wisely bestowed;
that no better man could have been
obtained for the work at Sioux Falls.
1t is true that the bishopric to which
Father O'Gorman is TO be elevated is
not rich one, but, on the other hand,
it is a field replete with opportunities
for Jealous worker. The good fathers
friends in ST. Paul do not question that
he will be worthy of the trust placed in
him.
Father O'Gorman was not st. Paul
boy by birth. Boston is the place OF
his nativity. He was born in 1912. A
few years later his father moved to
Chicago, and in 1852 to ST. Paul. In
1853 he and John Ireland, now arch
bishop of ST. Paul, were sent to France
by Bishop Cretin. There they COM
pleted their classical and theological
education. The two boys were class
mates at the seminaries of Montbel and
Meximieux. Upon the completion OF
| his course Father O'Gorman returned
to ST. Paul. He was ordained in St.
Paul by Bishop Grace in 1864. After
a number of years spent in missionary
iwork in ST. Paul he was called to Fari

The Mitchell Republican makes
the statement that the name of
Father O'Gorman had never been
used by any of the newspapers IN
connection with the appointment
of bishop for South Dakota. This
is mistake. Last November the
editor of the Herald received in
formation from one in position
to know the desires of Archbishop
Ireland, and though setting the
date of appointment a little early,
on Nov. Z, published the follow
ing:
"It is now given out that Very
Rev. Father O'Gorman, of Wash
ington, will be the new Catholic
bishop for Sonth Dakota, and
that his conservation will prob
ably take place during the present
month. He is of American birth
with Amesican ideas. ard as
Archbishop Ireland had much to
do with the selection he will
doubtless prove very acceptable
to the people of this diocese"

Prof. Williams, of the depart
ment Of botany of the agricultur-
al college says the college has
tried both red and white Kaffir
corn and also the Jerusalem corn.
While there is no doubt of their
value for grain and forage In
Kansas and the south it is not so
here. The difficulty in the way
here is Kafir corn starts very
slowly and on account OF cold
nights does not make vigorous
growth until several weeks old.
During that time it is difficult to
keep the weeds in check until the
plants become large enough to
admit Of thorough cultivation.
Another difficulty lies in getting
ripe seed on account of early
frosts. In time we may be able
to produce varieties which will
ripen seed ard from this northern
grown seed something can be pro-
duced which will stand the eli
mate. Red Kahir seems to do
best here. The drouth enduring
qualities of these varieties is al
most without equal. ---Alexandria

Hon. d. Nicoll struck the nail
square on the head at the farmers
institute last Thursday when he
said that he believed a thing
worth having was worth paying
for, and that instead of anyone
seeking to get some free advertis-
ing, farmers would find that if
they subscribed for the country
newspapers, read them and pay
for them and then make it a
point to inform the editor of their
success or failure in raising vari-
Gus kinds of stock or farm pro-
ducts, that they would find the
newspapers Of their locality i'm
proved and their own interest
advanced as well.---Ida Grove

The WASHINGTON newspapers anu
the board OF trade of that city had
enough influence with Governor O'Fer-
rail- of Virginia to break up two race
tracks in Alexandria county, at when
not less than one hundred Industrious
people of that county found honest and
legitimate employment. But they did
not succeed in inducing him to break
up the gambling carried on there by
people from Washington, though the
newspapers referred to are constantly
prating about it, in order to deter peo-
ole in that city who may want to pur'
chase homes close by from doing so in
that county, and to induce them TO buy
on TIE north side Of the river. That
Washington has not the slightest re-
card for the real interests OF Virginia is
proved by the fact that though the
laws OF this State, in order to prevent
the determination Of game, prohibit
the killing thereof, those of Washing
ton allow all that is killed in Virginia
by pot hunters to-. be sold there with
impunitv. Washington is Alexandria s
greatest bane.
