leave Japan and come to America un-
der contract to Norris & Rowe. Those
who have witnessed their perform
ances have declared it to to simply
marvellous. They perform intricate
feats with brilliancy, dash and dar-
ing that is pleasing to the eye. Their
picturesque flowing robes, beautifully
wrought with the handiwork which
only the def fingers of the Japanese
seem to fashion, are soon discarded for
the red tights and white trunks which
give greater freedom. Then begins a
bewildering array of feats, of postum
ing, balancing, tumbling, lofty perch,
break-a-way ladder tricks, etc., until
the eye fairly aches from watching the
agile athletes perform. This is but
one of the many dazzling acts that
Norris & Rowe have provided for
their new circus carnival.

GOOD WORK OF DEAN COLLINS

Bishop Stanley Pays Him a High Com
pIiment at the Blessing Of the
Cornerstone of the Mandan Church.
The blessing of the cornerstone of
the new Catholic church at Mandan,
the edifice being erected through the
efforts of the we'll known Dean Collins.
was carried out on Sunday, July 3, be-
fore large audience. Addresses were
made after the ceremony by Attorney
Murphy, Banker Lyon, A. M. Packard
and Bishop Stanley, who said:
1T is certainly very gratifying to
me as the Bishop here to see the
growth of our church throughout this
prosperous state. Today there are in
North Dakota $50 Catholic churches in
actual use. These churches are with
very few exceptions, very beautiful
buildings. Without exception they are
too small for the congregations that
worship in them. These $50 churches
are supplemented by about 20 out sta
tions that are visited by the priests at
regular intervals, once a month or
twice month. The number of priests
in this state is at present about 80, and
before this year closes this number
will have been increased by about a
dozen more. venture to predict with
out hesitation that before five years
have passed the number of Catholic
priests will have been increased to
300. Last year had the privilege and
happiness of dedicating % new
churches, together with some institu-
tions of charity which were opened to
the public. During the year 1903 the
Catholics of North Dakota spent more
than a quarter of million of dollars
in church building and church improv-
ing. have been in this state IA years
and some months, and during that time
I have personally assisted at the dedi-
cation or blessing of 120 churches in
this state. I don't believe that any
where in the United States there has
been such a growth in Catholic mat
tiers as North Dakota has witnessed in
the past IA years. How did that

pleted in very short time. You have
my blessing on this work. Father
Collins loves to tell oe mis- declining
years-he is as young today as the
youngest among you-young in heart
and zeal, and hope he will live for
many decades to preside as the most
deserving and beloved pastor in the
new church he is laboring SO hard to
erect. (Applause.) The work he is
doing is a practical work. When it
came to building the church, he said
follow me. He did not say-you go
ahead, and l will drive you. He said
follow me. He asked for a subscrip-
ton list-give me a subscription list
said the good old man-God bless him.
Taking his pen he wrote thereon
REV. D. v. Collins, $1,000" He told
his people-that money you can have,
spot cash. That money he paid in.
Let every man who is interested in the
work contribute as generously towards
it as he has, and then you will make
of it success. l am glad of this op-
portunity of telling the good people
fthis church and the people outside,
how gratified l am that the work thus
far has been accomplished

The Coming Attraction.

Just at present the interest of the
entire world is centered on the struggle
for supremacy between Russia and
Japan and those of both races that
are in this country are regarded with
more than passing interest. The
American public, however, look with .
more friendly eye upon the Japanese
than the Russians and for that reason

various prescriptions.
He finally prepared that wonderful inter.

Good Advice 10 the South

In the following article the
Manufacturers Record points out
one of the dangers that confront
the South, hut which can be
averted If the Southern planters
would take good advice and take
1t without delay.
The South has been more pros
porous for the last few years than
ever before, not only because cot.
ton commanded the highest price
known for decades, hut because
her people riised more Of their
own supplies than at any time
il their history. thus keeping at
home money that would otherwise
have been sent North and West
for corn. meat and other food
products of that kind.
It would be great calamity il
this advantage should be aban-
boned. Even If cotton should
not decline hey ond what it is now
the extra amount realized from
the extra large cotton crop would
be more than offset by the in
creased amount that would be
sent eff for supplies.
"A few days ago. says the
Record, ia leading railroad off,
