Pioneer Missionaries in the State
of North Dakota.
Death of the Founder of St. Mary's
Catholic Church at Bismarck

DEATH OF FATHER GENIN.

1yII.ALlI w ia lllElS NIf<<l\,
The announcement of the death at
Bathgate, \. d.. on last Friday of the
Rev. j. Il. NJ. Genin, NJ. A.. the founder
Of st. Mary's church in this city. was
received with profound SORROW and re-
greet by all OF our citizens who were
familiar with his work as !, religious
teacher ami pioneer missionary in the
early days of Bismarck.
Father Genin was a native of France
ii man of high birth. of deep learning
and exceptional talents. and one we'll
qualified to rule in the high places of
the land, but his life was conSncrated
to the wild SavlgeS of this continent
II for tllirty-nine years he lived
among them as missionary and priest
in Mexico, in Canada and anon the
wild Sioux tribes in the United States
loved and revereh by them and pos
scSSing their fullest confidence.
Father ('cnin came to Bismarck
from Duluth as a missionary of his
church in 1872 and engaged in the work
or building st. Mary's church. the
frame etitice on e. Main street. since
Srpplanted by the magnificent church
III the eastern part of the city. But
difficulties and discOuragemcnts sur
rounded the work Of building for the
hrSt time a congregation and church
eulllce in Il new community. and the
cheerful manner in which Father Gen
in Overcame all difficulties, together
with his genial social qualities and
his good deeds and generous charities
to the poor and lowly-endeareh him
to our people of all religious beliefs.
His memory will be cherished here so
long rs the remembrance remains of
those early days of toll and hardship
in bismarck.
Father Genin's last years were spent
in faithful labor as pastor OF the church
of st. Anthony. Bathgate. y. ID. He
was ut work also upon a history Of his
life among the Indians which is Of
rare value and interest. His death at
his advanced age may have been hast
encd by ovcrwork-as his active mind
and energetic disposition did not
brook II moments idleneSS. In Il
letter last August to his old friend Mrs.
Linda w. Slaughter, he wrote: Your

WEEDS.

The thoughts you think and the deeds
you do,
Are the seeds you SOW in the field,
And the JOY YOU reap or the pain you
rue
You thresh in the harvest yield.
So ere you sow, it's well to stop,
And count the kind Of seeds,
For weeds never yet yielded any crop
or anything else but weeds.
Full many a man goes out to reap,
In a field THAT he sOwed to tare.
And sits him down to wall and weep
Since he finds no flowers there.
And reaping is work you have to do,
However YOU feel inclined,
And whether you rail or whether YOU
rue,
You must cut and thresh and grind.
So choose as you will ut the planting
hour,
Sow as YOU wish Of the seeds,
But you'll eat rs you SOW, either
wheaton -four,
Or bread that is made from weeds.

EXPLORER DEAD.
Death of L. A. Paddock, One of the
Gold Seekers Who Went from
Bismarck to the Hills.

The Wadena Journal contains an ac-
count of the death of L.. \. Paddock. Il
well known wcSterner and plainSman,
who was one of the goldSeekers from
Bismarck in the early seventies. He
was G years of age. and leaves one
brother still in North Dakota, Il. q.
Paddock Of Dickinson. In speaking
Of his death the Journal says:
At the time of the Black Hills gold
craze Mr.. Paddock, in company with
several friends, went to Bismarck, and
he and his friends joined a company
of several hundred men who were
making their way to the Black Hills by
wagon train. 1t was spring and they
made slow progress. Mr.. Paddock
and six companions became impatient
at the slow progress and finally pro-
ceeded by themselves. The Indians
were very hostile, but they concluded
to take chances, and We're anxious TO
reach the hills about which fabulous
stories were told of great gold discov-
cries, and would have probably reached
the hills in safety had they not en-
countercd Il severe blizzard. Mr.. Pad
dock and one friend laid down near &:
knoll. spread their blankets Over them
and remained there one day and two
nights, and when they crawled out they
were unable to find their companions
or provisions. They wandered around
for eight days when some hunters
found them and took them to the stage
line camp. where they secured teams
and returned to Bismarck. Here they
received medical aid. Mr.. Paddock's
hands and feet were badly frozen and
his partner had both legs amputated
they We're so badly frozen.

LARGE IMMIGRATION.
North Dakota this Year Will be the
Favored State for the Home
seeker.

\ prominent railroad official is au-
tllority for the statement that the i'm
migration to the northwest this spring
Will he on an enormous scale and that
North Dakota will be the favored state.
The new omer will he from I'LL walks
Oh HE. The farmers Of the eastern
ami southern states have heard of the
prosperity which reigls in Dakota and
are coming to try their hands. Like
wise the eastern wUrkinyman who has
ekeu out all existence from year to year
as Il labOrer in some of the larger cities
and has by hard work and fruwality
perhaps saved a few hundred dollars,
is determined to cast his lot with the
farmers Of the great wheat raising
state where lie will receive greater re-
turns for his labor.
The Great Northern alone will bring
over 5000 families from various parts
or the union TO assist in the develop
ment Of the great northwest. The
movement has already started to some
extent but will not be at its height till
February or March. The immigration
agents report that the class of people
coming are the best situated financially
or any that ever came to the valley,
many OF them being substantial farm
ers from the middle states who, after
careful investigation, are fully con-
WINGED that the advantages offered in
the Red river valley for farmers are not
equalled any where in the union. AS
was stated before there will be repre-
sentativcs from every trade but the
majority Of them will he fairly well to
do.
This. to Il great extent. is due to the
care exercised by the immigration
agents who were instructed to try and
induce rs far az possible, those who
have had experience as farmers. and
who were in Il position to start farm
ing operations with sufficient means
to place them Oh Il sound financial
basis. The prospects for the state
were never more satisfactory and the
immense immigration will serve to in
crease the present prosperity.

So lar they soar above us as they sing.
Bards, swollen with lofty dreamings,
float in air,
Float, and inspiring songs are swelling

Swelling in deep diapason and loud.
Lingering mid stars and echoing in

Songs that might waken grandeur in

But out, afar the mysterious music

Floating unheard on too exalted wing,
So far they soar above us as they sing.
So not the mysterious music Of the

Wing us to clouds dim, distant, dark

The red-robcd robins twittering song,

Its flight by the vined window as it
