The following item taken from

pleasant event in honor of one of our

has resided in that city a few years
past:
The G.. A. r. Post and the w. r.
&. sprung a surprise Tuesday evening
on Commander Smith at his home on
East Charles street. At about 8 o'clock
the members of the two orders walked
in and informed him that they had
come with well filled baskets to spend
the evening with him and his estim-
able wife. A substantial supper was
served during the evening and an i'm
promptu musical program was given
in which all joined on the choruses.
A game Of modelling various animals
from gum was among the evenings
pleasures and Mrs. j. T. Rider won
first prize which was a painting. II
was a delightful evening and the old
vets seemed to be just as young as
they used to be.
Nearly everybody around Can
istota of the Catholic faith, and a
great many who are not, were attend
ing the dedication ceremonies at
Montrose last Thursday. The Mont
rose Herald gives the cost of the new
church as being in the neighborhood
of $4,000. There was an immense
crowd present, and Montrose was in
holiday attire. Notable prelates from
all over the state we're present, and the
people listened to some excellent adj
dresses, notably the impromptu SER
mon of Rev. Father O'Hora, of Parker,
who was at the last moment called
upon topreach in lieu of Father Flynn,
of Howard, who was late in arriving,
owing to a breakdown of tho automo
bile in which he was riding. The
Catholic ladies, themselves, fed nearly
500 people at their church dinner and
the hotel had all they could do to take
care of the overflow. 1t was a proud
day for the Catholic people of Mont

Receipts of milk and cream are
now running the highest in the history
of the DeSmet creamery, SO we are
told. Receipts are naturally less at
this time of the year, but they should
be greater than they are. The heavy
yield of grain and the hight prices of
recent years have worked to the det-
riment of the dairy industry, An
other feature working against the
creamery is the shipment of cream by
individuals to the central plants So
long as the creamery is in operation
these shippers will secure fair prices.
Thus the creamery is forced TO work
against itself by maintaining prices
for shippers. The management of the
creameryexpects to be able to continue
to operate the plant and hopes that
the near future will bring a heavier
patronage. Abnormal crops and prices
are not encouraging to the dairy in.
dustry, but they do not always last
and the time will come when the
creamery will be in great demand and
enjoying a heavy patronage.

more free inasmuch as we soon learn
ed that he was rather a weak man
than a wicked and had acted through
out this matter more from fear of the
duke and of his own brother Max than
for any love of what was done. But
he had persuaded all of his loyalty
and, though not in their secret cou-
sells, was yet, by his knowledge of
their dispositions within the castle,
able to lay bare before us the very
heart of their devices. And here, in
brief. is his story:
Below the level of the ground in the
castle, approached by a fight of stone
steps which abutted on the end of the
drawbridge, We're situate two small
rooms, cut out of the rock itself. The
outer of the two had no windows, but
was always lighted with candles: the
inner had one square window, which
gave upon the meat. In this inner
room there lay always, day aud night,
three of the Six and the instructions
