JORDAN, Mlnn.-JOnanTah Iamplon
died at the home Of her son-in-law, H. ].
Fitzpatrick in this city, few minutes
before O'clock Friday evening, April
7, at the age of about 70 years, of heart
failure. She was the wife of the late
Edward Campion, of Cedar Lake. Since
the death of her daughter she had re-
manned as a member OF the family ten
derby caring for the children. She was
born in Kerry, Ireland, and came to
this country when quite young girl.
In 1858 she was married to her now
deceased husband to whom five children
were born, Edward being the only one
surviving. Her remains were conveyed
to her old home near St. Patricks on
Sunday and the funeral, which was
largely attended, was held at St. Pat
rick's church, Rev. Father McCarron
conducting the imposing services on
Monday morning, and her remains were
laid to rest beside those OF her departed
husband and children in the family lot
in the cemetery alongside the church.
Glendive Independent, Mont.-Sun-
day morning, Apri! 9, Sheriff Aiken,
Charles Parker and Jack Jarvis crossed
the river amidst floating ice, and with
difficulty reached the Sullivan residence.
Their worst fears were realized, as they
found the father, mother and six chill
dren in one room. From the position OF
the bodies it indicated that they were
all in bed and asleep when they met
their death from the overflow. The
mother and children were in their night
clothes, while the father was fully
dressed with his overshoes on. He must
have been exhausted with work and
worry and slept too soundly. The bod
les were all on the beds except the eldest
daughter and one Of the younger chill
dren, who were found on the floor. The
eldest daughters skull was crushed and
from this it is inferred that she was
awake and battled with the angry wat
ers and received the wound from a piece
of ice. Several head of horses were
drowned in Sullivan's stable, three of
which belonged to James Livingston
one to Sheriff Aiken and the rest to
Sullivan
Luvcrne, Nlinn-A farewell reception
was rendered Rev. Father McDonough
Wednesday evening OF last week at the
beautiful home of Mr.. and Mrs +. A.
Hylle, on Estey street. There was a
large number OF Catholics present, and
small number OF those who do not
belong to the church, and the occasion
was certainly a joyous one for Father
McDonough. The evening was devoted
to instrumental and vocal music and
games, and sumptuous banquet was
served. On behalf of the ladies of St.
GATHERINGS society, Mrs Martin Con-
nell presented Rev. Father McDonough
with well filled purse, and in her pre-
sentation speech she tried to impress on
Rev. Father McDonough the sorrow his
felt over the loss OF their
priest. The present was complete sur-
prise to Father McDonoug1, and great
big lump raised in his throat which
for time threatened to choke him.
1t was several minutes before he sue
cecded in swallowing the impeachment,
but he finally recovered himself and feel
ingly thanked his friends for their
friendship and esteem, for their able as
sistance and comfort during his six
years as priest of the church and for
their we'll wishes for his future. With
a prayer for all his people and the peo-
pie OF Luverne in general, Rev. Father
dismissed the assemblage.

lifetime. Funeral took place from the
church of the above parish.
Anoka; Minn.-The dance given by
the John Mitchell Social Club at the
city hall Wednesday evening, April ~,
proved to be most successful and en-
joyable occasion, over one hundred
couples participating. The different
committees were on hand anxious to
make every guest feel as though his
presence was appreciated and ever la
bored to make each feel at ease. The
towns were we'll represent
ed on the floor, and had not the roads
been in such poor condition many more
would have been in attendance. The
music was furnished by Days orches-
ira of Minneapolis, and filled the bill
completely, the prompting being all that
could be desired, and compliments
many were heard upon the quality Of the
music provided. The ladies of the John
Mitchell Social club furnished the sup
per, and better one could not be de-
sired. 1t was an elegant repast and
the jolly dancers gave it the best COM
plimcnt by partaking literally of the
choice food. The last dance was not
concluded until o'clock and the merry
company dispersed, inwardly thinking
that all would be present at the eleventh
annual party of the John Mitchell Social
