who was stricken about three weeks
ago with appendicitis, and was re-
moved to st. Mary's hospital In Min
neapolis on March Is, underwent an
operation Monday morning following
at II o'clock. The operation was
most successful one and Mrs. Whalen

eject as rapidly as could hes expected,
but while she is yet not entirely out ct

speedy recovery to health. D. K. Wha-

Anolla, Minn.-The st. Patrick's day
under the auspices OF
the st. Stephens church, was highly
successful, although on account of the
illness of the leading lady Miss Ella
Mealey), the main features OF the pro-
gram, namely, the laughable comedy,
"O'Calligan on His Last Legs" could
not be given. A great deal of time
and patience had been expended to
make the little drama success, and
it was very unfortunate it could not
be rendered. Nevertheless, so abund-
ant program had been planned that
even without the comedy the enter
tainment was we'll worth the admis-
sion. A piano solo by Miss Nellie Va
der, the first number on the program,
was loudly encored. Two very pleas
ing songs by Miss Lucy Clark were
sung, followed by the four-part chorus
consisting of twelve voices. Little
Genevieve Downey captured the audi
ence with her songs. A good mono
logue was finely rendered by Mr.. John
Downey, and the Irish mannerisms
and brogue were given to fine point.
Miss Nellie Vader then favored them
with very pleasing song entitled,
Killarney" followed by charming lit
tie duets by Misses Greek and Hennes-
sy. Irish jigs were rendered in the
good old way by Messrs. Briere and
Durrant. This was followed by a
performance by c. w.
Way, a travelling salesman, who hap
pened to be in town and who kindly
offered his services. A song by Gene
We've Downey and solo by Henry
Huard were very enjoyable numbers
and completed the evenings program.
Blue Earth, Enthusiastically morn
ing, March 10, at 10 o'clock, the funer-
al services over the remains of the
late Miss Agnes Quicken were held
from St. Peter and Paul's church, Rev.
e. P. Murphy officiating. The church
was crowded with friends and rela-
tives of the deceased, who had come
to pay their last tribute Of respect to
the departed friend and kind neigh
Dor, loving sister and ever faithful
daughter. Father Murphy paid high
tribute to the character of the de-
ceased in his sermon. Many floral Of
ferings were in evidence. At the con-
clusion of the services the funeral
cortege followed the remains to the
Catholic cemetery, where they were
inferred in the last resting place. The
pallbearers were Will DAILY, John Cliff
ford, John Garry, Tom Clifford, John
Sullivan, Tom Collins.
Hudson, Wis.-One OF the largest
audiences that have ever assembled in
the Armory hall gathered there on
Friday evening, March II, to listen to
the presentation of Shaun Aroon" by
the young people of the Catholic
church under the management OF
Thomas Swift of Minneapolis. Re-
hearsals had been held daily for the
preceding two weeks and the results
fully justified the time and pains ex-
pended. The universal opinion of
those present is that the play eclipsed
all previous efforts OF the Catholic
young people, and was one OF the
smoothest amateur performances ever
given in the city.
