ARE 10000 CATHOLICS.
The Church Has Made Phenomenal
Growth In south Dakota.

Rt. Rev. Thomas O'Gorman, Catholic
bishop of South Dakota, In reviewing the
growth and progress of the church since
his coming TO Sioux Falls and South Da-
kota, furnishes some interesting facts.
He showed that its growth had been
simply phenomenal. Notwithstanding that
he came to the state in most depressing
times, he Ind always preached the Cos
pei of hope. When he came to South Da-
kota there were sixty regular priests in
the state with parishes. Now there are
ninety-oie III the diocese of Sioux Falls,
which covers the entire state. In most
of the strong Catholic parishes. which
were struggling under heavy financial
loads when he came to the state, the
debts have mostly been wiped out and i'll
many instances church ediiices costing
from $4,000 to $4,000 have been erect
ed. There are at present 10000 Catho-
lies i'll the diocese. OF this number
about 5000 are Indians. When Bishop
O'Gorman came to the state there were
about 1900 Indian communicates. The
total value of church property in the
state at a conservative estimate is $780,
900. on which there is less than SD, 600
indebtedness.

Two in a Bed.

Two in a bed Is the usual custom OF.
sleeping, in the United States ut least.
and also in Canada and England, says,
Good Housekeeping. But in Germany
and France single beds are the rule.
The latter plan is more healthful and
comfortable. 1t is gradually coming In
to use IN this country. Single beds In
yolve more linen, more work In max
ing beds and more washing, but I new
err knew a family to return to the old
plan after once giving single beds q.
fair trial. Especially in summer is the
single bed to be preferred, or even
sleeping on the floor, to two in a bed
Many families declare that they never
knew what comfort was, during the
hot summer nights, until they adopted
the single beds. I might add q word
of protest against allowing babies or
young children to sleep with old peo-
pie. The latter certainly draw upon
the vitality Of the former. This is
probably true as between any bed-fel-
lows, IL of whom is sickly or less
strong than the other. Consumption
and other diseases have often been
communicated from one bedfellow to
another.

SITUATION Is pREpLsxlNo.
It Il Not Yet Known Whether Boston
Strike Will Re Settled.

u IL MOI Yet Known Whether Boston
Strike Will Be Settled.
The labor situation in Boston Friday
night was extremely perplexing. To
gave weight to the statements of labor
men, who spoke without authority, that
harmony is not restored, is to make the
outlook far more critical than ut any
time since the allied freight t%ransporta-
ton council began its fight against the
Il. =. Brine Transportation Company.
On the other hand, Gov. Crane md
the state board of arbitration believe that
the problem is being solved quite rapidly.
considering the immensely of the strike,
and only ask for time and patience from
both laboring and business men to re.
move all obstacles for u RESUMPTION of
freight traffic under ordinary conditions.
AS a matter of fact the strike was
completely broken Friday, although trou-
hles cropped out in many quarters, some
of which We're arranged without delay
and Others dragged along in an uncertain
state. so that they came in for consid-
Grafton by the various labor bodies mt
night.
The special side of the strike breaking
Friday presented an army of working
men rushing heller SHELTER to get to their
old positions. There had been more than
10000 places vacated, but fully 10 per
cent. of the men found their places filled.
This was the reason for friction all day,
affecting only the men themselves, for
concerns were too busy raising the en-
barge OH goods in their keeping to give
heed to talk of unfairness. Freight be-
gan to move at docks, freight sheds, from
and to wholesale houses and factories,
and upon the streets, and by night great
inroads had been made OH the four days
accumulation OF goods. With the break
ing of the strike employers of freight
handlers, team drivers, or Jumpers,
rushed into print with calls for more
help. Even concerns which heretofore
have been bound to unionism seem to
have erasped the opportunity of hiring
whom they liked. 1t is OIL this point, of
all others. that the critical phase of the
situation hangs.
The real battle was between the men
who control the strike and the represent
atives of great interests who had been
prevailed upon to consider certain propo-
sltions as Il way to n settlement Of the
trouble. AS for three days past. it was
Gov. Crane, at his office in the state
house, who stood between the parties ut
issue.

GREAT BOSTON STRIKE is OFF.
Fully 10000 Men Are Restored to
Active Labor.

= ~ 9OSVOO XxCIl ARE 1ke6tUT0U 20
Active Labor.
Through the united efforts Of repre-
sentatives of the great mercantile bodies
of the city of Boston, seconded by the
chief executives Of the city and state, in
conference with the recognized leaoers of
organized labor, the great strike of
freight handlers and kindred trades rem.
resented in the Allied Freight Transpor-
tation Council was broken Thursday
night. Fully 10000 men who have been
idle for four days commenced work Fri.
day morning.
This result was attained MT a confer.
ence ut the office of Gov. Crane. The de.
clsion was at once reported to the Allied
Freight Transportation Council ut a spc.
cial meeting and unanimously indorsed.
The settlement was the result of an OK.
pressed determination of Gov. Crane and
those representing the merchants of Ros.
ton to bring all possible pressure to bear
upon the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad Company to adopt the
rules i'll force upon the Boston and Maine
Railroad %forbidding freight handlers to
uiioau teams except ut their w option
and risk.
All of the old men for whom places
can be found will be taken back by the
railroads, but owing to the suddcnness
with which the strike was ended and the
large number of new men who have been
installed it is likely that many of the old
employees will find no vacancies ready fol
them. Eventually. it is believed they
all will regain their old places.

slictpe Animal Tissues.

BY means of the microtome slices Of
vegetable and animal tissues down to
u thinness of about 1-1OOth of an inch
are obtained for microscopic study.
Prof. Elmer Gates, of Washington, has
now gone further. and even slices up
blood cells and microbes by cementing
them in a single layer between two
glass slides and cutting the slides apart
with a very thin blade of copper sharp
ened to the highest possible degree. The
fine grain of the copper causes 1T to take
an edge that no al approach. The
cells are again cut by repeating the
operation, and it is claimed that slices
have been made only 1-1OOth as thick al
the thinnest produced by the micro.
tome.

RUSH TO SOUTH DAKOTA.
Never Before Has Tide of Immigra,
tiOn Becn SO Grcnt.

Never before since the Boom days
early in the SOS has South Dakota Ell
ioycd 50 great Il tide of immigration as
this spring. From all parts of the state
come reports of the arrival of new set
tlcrs-not simply a few here and there.
but in many places by the scores. Freight
trains entering the state are made up
largely OF cars containing goods belong
ing to new settlers. who have already
purchased lands and are coming to locate
permanently upon them. while passen-
ger trains are crowded With landseekers
who are coming to the state with IL view
to purchasing desirable farms and also
becoming permanent residents of South
Dakota.
One striking feature of the present
really wonderful movement in the sale of
farm lands is that comparatively a small
per cent. OF the land which is now chang
ing hands is being purchased by mere
spectators for purely speculative pur-
poses. The greater part of the land is
being purchased by experienced farmers
from eastern states. who intend to be-
come permanent residents of South Da-

UlliGQuU. lnS around to the De!ier
AIlthat whether Kansas and
the Southwest gets rain within the next
few days or not, there will be no bumper
crop there this year. They have had two
good crops successfully. and they think
it is time for Kansas to miss one. AS
yet it is too early to tell definitely what
Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas will do in
the way of a crop. There has been in
sufficient moisture in Oklahoma and Tex
as, and in parts of Kansas all season.
Close observers say it is the history of
the Southwestern country that unless
they get an abundance of moisture dur
ing the late fall and winter. they have
never harvested their full acreage. The
acreage this year is n record breaker. b
per cent increase in Kansas. 1t might
be lost, and still with favorable condi-
tons make an average crop.
The Department of Agriculture in a
report estimates that about % per cent
of last years wheat crop is still in farm
ers' hands. as compared with 24.5 per
cent on hand March /, 1901, and 90 per
cent on hand March 1, 1900. The corn
in farmers hands is estimated at about
30 per cent of last years crop, against
500 per cent on March /, 1901, and 37.2
per CeuU NluFcu l., lCUU. vi OauS SueCe Is
reported abou. 80 per cent of last years
crop still in farmers hands. as compared
with 36.2 per cent on March /, 1901, and
1868 per cent on March /. 1900.
Aside from crop damage there were
other considerations which, for the time
being, are exerting a good influence. 1t
is the falling off in receipts, as compared
with last year, in the Northwest and at
primary points. This. with an improve
ment in the milling demand, small coun-
try offerings in the Northwest. the steady
reduction in interior elevator stocks,
which are only t%wo-thirds of last years,
taken in connection with the uncertainty
of the growing crop, gave the bulls the
best of it.
Provisions suffered from liquidation
early, pork declining over soc, but the
losses on lard and ribs were small. At
the close pork and lard recorded a loss
of 15c, and ribs only 2Lc.
Cattle were nominally unchanged the
closing day of the week. Hogs declined
&c to 1Oc, and sheep and lambs were slow
and steady. Cattle receipts decreased
10000 compared with the previous week,
and increased 5000 compared with a year
G Hogs decreased 29,5OO compared
with the previous week, and increased
8 $4,000 compared with the corresponding
week of 1901. Sheep for the week de-
creased 1000 compared with the previ-
GUS week. and increased 1890 compared
with a year ago.
