 The second annual performance giv- en by the pupils of St Francis paro- chial school last evening at Colum- bus hall was a success in every sense of the word. The stage settings were beautiful as were also the costumes worn by the young people who took part. That they acquitted them selves in creditable manner goes without saying and their acting last evening showed the result of hard patient and tiring work on the part of those who had charge of the formance. Every character played to perfection, the chor were nicely rendered and eyeryth passed off smoothly and altogether l. performance was a credit to the pupils and to the teachers. Nearly every seat in the spacious hall was taken and everyone present had nothing but praise for the work. The perform ance will be given for the last time this evening and it is respectfully re- quested that all be in their seats as early as possible as the performance is long one and very trying on the lit tie tots.

Colonel Baldwin Reports Progress
 In Mindanao.
 MANILA, April 25.-Lieutenant Colo nel Frank D. Baldwin, who is operat- ing against the Moros on the island of Mindanao, telegraphs that the capture of Sultan Pualo's fort has had most salutary effect. The dattos are submit ting. White flags are taking the place of the red battlefags. The sultan of Annudtbak urges that time be given him in which to give up the assassins of the American soldiers and says that the advance of the Americans will mean "bristling cannon and impossible barriers, with God judging the right"
 Colonel Baldwin has received orders to suspend operations against the dat tos.
 General George W. Davis, in com mand at Zamboanga, island of Minda- nao, believes that the majority of the dattos are friendly and that they have not had time to cooperate. He thinks their alarm may cease and that prac- tically q bloodless victory has been achieved.

MATTERS CONGRESSIONAL.

 Aouse Agrees to oleo Amendments.
 Disagreement on Chinese Bill.
 WASHINGTON, April 25.-The house yesterday sent the oleomargarine bill to conference after agreeing to the sen ate amendments with some modifica- tions suggested by the agricultural committee. The opponents of the meas ure offered a number of amendments the principal one of which was design ed to place renovated butter on the same footing with oleomargarine, but they were overwhelmingly voted down. The latter part of the day was devoted to the agricultural appropriation bill. MT. Fox (Miss.) made an exhaustive speech in defense of the suffrage clause of the Mississippi constitution. < Just before the senate adjourned MT. Rawlins (Utah) concluded his speech in opposition to the Philippine govern ment.
 The senate passed several unobjected measures of minor importance and a large number of private pension bills.
 The conferees on the Chinese exclu- sion bill decided to report disagree ment to each house. The point of diff ference is the date as to when the law shall extend, the house contending for an indefinite period and the senate be- ing equally firm in insisting that the law shall not last beyond the life of the treaty.
 The house conferees have held out at the earnest request of the California delegation, but it is believed that when a further conference is ordered an agreement will be reached. The senate conferees announced that canvass Of the senate showed that body would not yield on this point.

After year of illness, borne
heroically, Rev. Father P. E. Mes
nil, beloved pastor of st. Joseph's
Church at Loreauville, La, was
yesterday morning called to the
maker, whom he had served SO
we'll aud faithfully. Death came

and few hours afterwards Fa-
Their Thouvenin, 8. NJ, who had
attended him during his last ILL
ness, accompanied the remains to
the Southern Pacific train which
bore them to the little Louisiana
town where to-day they will be
followed to the grave by bis sor-
rowing Pensioners.
Born in France hfty-eight years
ago, the deceased at an early age
developed deep piety and q pro-
nounoed disposition toward reli-
gious life, which ultimately result
ted in his taking up study prepar-
story to entering the priesthood.
He was ordained thirty years ago
and shortly after that came to
Louisiana and began his life work
in this diocese. He was in charge
Of the New River district for fif.
teen years, and built up fine mis-
sion there. Six or seven years
ago he was transferred to Loreau-
vile and there continued his good
work.
He was taken i'll q year ago, and
falling to improve he returned las
summer to his home in France in
the hope Of finding there the need

vain, however, az he grew steadily
weaker and finally determined te

An inexhsustible reservoir OF
pure water just adapted to the best
growing of vegetation may we'll be
classed among the greatest disco
veries of the age.
Such q discovery has been made
in the rice belt. Five hundred
wells have demonstrated that quite
q large area is thus highly favor
ed, where this water can be reach
ed at very reasonable depth and
cost.
Your committee gave me ten
minutes in which to tell what l

What I don't know would fill q

The Book says: "Lot saw all
the Plain of Jordan that it was
we'll watered everywhere"
| The Lots and Lsssies of the
Northwest have looked on all the
prairies of the lucky rice belt with
the same result.
There were some. difficulties in
the construction of wells in the
past, now overcome. Drilling for
oil and water in the same belt, and
90 many wells, has brought more
practical knowledge of the bust
ness that could have been learned
, in many years OF ordinary work.
Two dry years changed the water
level ten TO twelve feet. necessitst-
ing submerging the pump, many
of these only surface pumps which
, could not be submerged. This
| fact with the extremely dry sea-
son accounts for many short crops.
