thinks there are serious defects In the

The board, in detail, states why 1t is
not advisable to keep inebriates in hos

Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, Nov. 1.-two white
yelled brides stood before the altar at
ST. John the Baptists French Catholic
church yesterday morning. as princi-
pals in a wedding that was not of the
ordinary kind-they were welded to
the church.
Miss Stella Dyer, of Cherokee, and
Miss Leontine Galbrath, of Montreal,
Canada, are the young women who
have renowned the world and all It's
pomps, and entered into the Benedic-
tine sisterhood as novitiates after serv-
ing as postulants for the past three
months, satisfying themselves that
they are divinely called to the sister
hood, and that they will be contented
to continue in the life for all time.

with Rev. L. P. Dagnault, as celebrant,
Rev. Charles Robinson, of Jefferson, S.

vincents Young Ladies Home, OF

a body. Special music was furnished.
During the ceremony the young
women were asked If they were ready
to surrender their allegiance to the
world, which query they answered in
the affirmative. and other questions of
a similar nature were put to them. In
many ways the ceremony resembled
that of a wedding.
After one year spent in novitiates,

wells. the two young women will take
the simple vow of poverty chastity
and obedience. the same to hold for
each one year. and to be taken and re-
