A Card of Thanks and information.

Herewith desire to publicly express
both my entire satisfaction and heart
felt gratitude to all who assisted in pre-
pairing for the fair, and to the committee
who had the management and the con-
Quoting of the same, and all their assist
ants, and last but not least to all who SO
generously patronized the fair and thus
made it a financial and social success.
Nav Heaven reward all a thousand fold.
The net proceeds of the fair are $4,000.
The parish debt is thus this much re-
duced.
At the beginning of 1893 the parish
debt was 100000
On this was paid on June 5, 'oS 1920
On January IL, 90 1871
Or November Fl, 90 (fair proceeds 673.oo
Total paid 10000
Balance due on parish debt, 10000
Thus we reduced the enormous debt
of $4,000 almost within a year to SIIoo
and paid up all interest and renewed the
insurance on the p%arochial residence Tor
z years, etc, etc, indeed not a bad show
ing. Once more thanks to all who as
sisted in accomplishing this.
The Improvements on the grounds OF
the parochial residence, etc, speak for
themselves. All are pleased with them
and all are loud IN their praises of them.
With praises however no debts can be
paid; therefor | ask once more Tor Il
little contribution from the public in gen
eral (of those who have not yet contri-
buted) towards paying for the fence.
The steel wire fence mounted costs in
full $1,000, about $4,000 are contributed
towards it up to date. Who will be next
to contribute? Keeping the financial
working of the congregation before the
public, | know it will be pleasing and al
so helpful, as the good people see that
their money is well employed.
Respectfully and gratefully,
FATHER CLAUDE M. EBNER, o. S.B.

"Remember the Maine.''

Lincoln J. Carriers grand spectacular
production Remember the Maine
comes to the opera house Tuesday the
9Th. 1t is a finished production in every
respect, being complete in scenery and
other effects. Like all of this famous
authors plays, it is interesting and pleas
ing. 1t is of the ordinary melodrama
sort, with a vein of comedy running
through it, with exciting climaxes and
powerful speeches, wonderful mechani-
cal effects, and prettily costumed. The
parts are all we'll taken by a capable
company, who deliver their lines with
stirring effect.
The story of the play is an interesting
one, being of the military sort, and can
not help but arouse the patriotism of an
audience. 1t tells the story of the blow
ing up of the Maine, giving a realistic re-
production of that incident, showing the
arrival of the Inflated battleship in
Havana and her destruction, and as the
play runs on, showing the cowardice of
the Spaniards and the courage of the
Americans. The scenery used is of a
very attractive nature, being new and
bright.
The play closes with Dewey's victory
at Manila, which is the best represent
alton that has eyer been given by any
company Of this battle.

Japan,s Oueer Stores.

japanese are very fond of strolling
through their bazaars. You enter at
one door and leave by another. Goods
for sale are displayed on each side Of
aisles that wind through the length
Of the shop. Passing up and down
these aisles, they lead you to the Sec
ond and often third story of the build
ing and then back again through diff
ferent aisles, causing you to travel the
length Of the establishment many
times. Finally you see the doorway a
few feet distant, but eve then you
must travel this several times its
length to escape.
Usually shopping is very restful in
Japan. You sit around on the floor,

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is
a blood or constitutional disease, and in
order to cure it you must take internal
remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, and acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Cure is not a quack medicine. 1t was
prescribed by one of the best physicians
in this country for years, and is a regular
prescription. 1t is composed of the best
tonics known, combined with the best
blood purifiers, acting directly on the
mucous surfaces. The perfect combina-
tion of the two ingredients is what pro-
duces such wonderful results in curing
Catarrh. Send for testimonials, free.

The plan fostered by the Northern
Pacific for the establishment of a horse
meat packing house at Medora, has fall
en- through. Nothing has been done for
two months toward constructing the pro-
posed plant, and there is little probable
ity now that the plan will ever be ma
tured. An official of the road states that
owing to the continued advances in the
prices of horses in large lots, the pack
ing house promoters were afraid that,
with a rising market, the plant would be
unable to show profits. At present the
matter has been dropped by the road,
and the promoters Of the scheme are
waiting for better conditions. At the
time the project was first aired, horses
could be bought on the range in lots of
2,ooodor 50 a head. The present prices
have risen to more than $40 per head
