ST. MARY's HALL

Opened With an Elaborate Entertain
ment-The Audience Packed the Hail.
The formal opening of ST. Mary's hall
occurred last night, and 1t attracted an
audience that packed the large hall to
the doors. 1t was beyond the success
anticipated, and the young ladies' mus-
cal and literary society of the Church OF
the Immaculate Conception, under
whose auspices the event took place, Is
to be congratulated.
The hall has a seating capacity of 500,
and ranks with any In the city In it's ar
rangcments and general appearance. 1t
Is in close proximity to the parochlal
school and the church. and will be in de-
mand for coming entertainments, It's
opening last night was under suspicious
circumstances, and the excellent pro-
Eramme published in the Tuesdays In
tclligencer was carried out In detail.
The various musical and literary num-
bers reflected credit upon the perform
ances, and the audience testified It's APP
probation by frequent applause. Prob
ably the most enjoyable feature was the
rendition of a clever little comedy, Les
sons In Architecture, or How to Build
School," written by Rev. Father Mullen,
the genial pastor of the Church OF the
Immaculate Conception. 1t was a satire
on the suggestions received by him dur
ing the erection Of the Eighth wards
new parochial school, and was as ANUS
ing sktt as can be imagined, Rev
Father Mullen possesses rare sense of
humor. and he employed II to good pur-
pose. His effort was portrayed by an
efficient cast to advantage.
The thrce-act drama, "out Of His
Sphere" was in keeping with the rect
OF the entertainment, all OF which was
well rendered. The entertainment con-
cluded with a happy address by ri. Rev.
Bishop Donahue.

Beware of Ofntments for CatarrTn
That Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it

on prescriptions from reputable physi-
clans, as the damage they will do is
ten fold to the good you can possibly
derive from them. Halls Catarrh

Absolutely Pure.
Saved by u Hairs Breadth.

saved by u Hairs Breadth.
This community was horror stricken
on Wednesday afternoon by the an
nouncement that Miss Hildred How
had been accidentally shot in the head
and awaiting more definite intirmation
people held their breath and hoped and
prayed, and when it was learned that
the results were not of necessity fatal,
q great sigh of relief was heaved by
many breast.
The facts are these: A bevy OF
young girls and boys went up the rail
road track to see the flood raging In
the Hoboken creek, a mile west OF the
city. Two or three of the lads in the
crowd had light rifles and had been
shooting at whatever afforded tar
get. Hildred How and Lila Fish were
seated together at the side OF the
track and the others were scattered
along the distance of few rods.
Suddenly and simultaneously with the
sharp crack of one of the rifles, Hill
dred screamed and fell forward with
the cry: my God, save mel Blood
was flowing in a great crimson stream
from her forehead, and the group
was terror stricken. Lila Fish,
with rare self-possession raised her
head and sent for water which the boys
brought from the spring, and as best
she could staunched the flow of blood.
Fortunately the Northern Pacific Sec
tiOn men were at work near by had a
hand car with them which was placed
upon the track, and the girl was lifted,
rather than supported to the car,
though she had not lost consciousness.
At the Great Northern crossing, very
opportunity, DR.. McMasters, who was
out with his daughters for walk, was
met, and he took charge of the girl
and brought her to the city. DR.. Lew
is was summoned to assist, and an ex-
animation developed the fact that the
bullet had not penetrated the skull.
It struck just above and little to the
left of the left eye, breaking through
the outside plate of frontal bone,
plowed beneath the tissues to a point
over and just back of the left ear and
out. 1t was at first feared the line
was direct one through the head. A
thorough examination led the physi-
clans to hope for the best. The pa
tient passed restful night, and her
splendid health and youth-she is only
thirteen years of age,-are all in favor
of speedy convalescence. By whom
and under what circumstances the gun
was fired is not known, all protesting
that they cannot tell. She was not
more than two or three yards away
from it. It was a narrow escape, in
deed.

The Window Smasher.

Maria Kicks, the famous window
breaker. who has been a terror to the
people of the state, she having in
dulged her propensity for smashing
store windows in a score of towns in
Minnesota, arrived in the city on Fri
day last. Some time since she was
committed to the insane asylum at ST.
Peter, but was released, as she was a
legal resident of Wisconsin, and she
was sent to Oshkosh. The Wisconsin
people sent her back to this state, and
a ticket was purchased for her to Du-
rluth. The Duluth authorities, anxious
to unload her, by mistake sent her to
Sank Centre instead of Sank Rapids,
where she wanted to 60 and she ar
rived in this city over the Little Falls
and Dakota road, Alderman Erwin.
of Che poor committee, sent her to ST.
Cloud. Arriving there the ST. Cloud
people passed her on to Anoka, where
she was at last accounts. The woman
is to be sincerely pitied. She is not
pnattractive in appearance or address.
and she claims to be from good
family at Stevens Point, Wis. She
has been fairly educated, but is vic
tim of the opium habit. That she is
mentally unbalanced there is no doubt,
and her mania is of the kind which
impels her to break glass, whenever
the passion seizes her.
