which was held for the benefit of st. |
Agnes Church and parsonage, during
five evenings last week. Speaking
of appreciation, we mean the good
will of the people, their ambition to
make this Bazaar a grand success,

the opening, December IL, arrived
and large and respectable crowd
filled the hall of Barton's new build

six handsome booths we're put up, IN
which the many articles donated to
the Bazaar, were exhibited, many
of which were for sale and others
were to be disposed of by chance. A
big supper opened the happy days,
and was attended by many of the
people of Weiser. About o'clock
the venerable Mayor of the city APP
peared to introduce to the audience
the Rev. Father Van der Donckt of
Pocatello, who briefly addressed the
people in a practical and eloquent
speech Picturing the high esteem
in which Catholic institutions are
held by intelligent people of all
classes and nations, he concluded
his address by pressing the desire
that all should contribute to make
this Bazaar, for the benefit of the
Catholic church, a grand success.
The few words he spoke were an ex-
cellent feature of the first evening
and one deserving of commentator.
