RUMORS OF TWO
new SEES WITHIN
LIMITS OF STATE
Rapid Growth of Catholicism
Calls for Creation Of Two
New Bishoprics.

Sioux Falls, s. D.. June 13.-Much
comment has been caused In ecclesias-
teal circles throughout the state by
the well authenticated report from
Washington, d. c., where Bishop
O'Gorman is at present sojourning, that
in the near future two new Episcopal
sees will be created within the present
diocese of Sioux Falls. One of these,
according to this rumor, will be located
at Aberdeen, the other at Mitchell. A
division of the diocese a been con-
templated for some time, though until
recently the erection of only n new
see city was in prospect. The rapid
growth of Catholicity in the eastern
portion Of the state for the past few
years puts the creation of two new
b%ishoprics instead Of n within the
limits of the probabilities. KS yet moth
ing definite is known as to the prob
able candidates for the high offices. 1t
is believed, however, that Rev. j. j.
O'Neil, of Beresford, will prove the
most likely candidate for the Aberdeen
e~piscopacy. 1t is recognized that he Is
peculiarly fitted for the Office, and his
work as chaplain Of the chapel car has
brought him prominently to the notice
of leading ecclesiastics in the east and
west.
AS to the occupant of the proposed
Mitchell see there is no question but
that the Very Rev. Dean Shea. the
present pastor of the parish, will prove
the most available candidate His
learning and eloquence, his long years
of labor within the diocese. together
with his work in connection with the
erection OF a magnificent new church
Don to be dedicated, make him the
most logical candidate Of the priests in
the southern portion of the diocese.
In connection with this report, and
from the same source. comes the ru-
NOR that the Very Rev. e. A. Bouska,
Of Tabor, is destined for the bishopric
Of the Lead diocese, soon to be vacat-
ed, It is believed. by the transfer Of
Bishop Stariha, the present occupant,
to the Cleveland diocese, rendered va
cant by the death of Bishop Horts-
mann. 1t will be remembered -. that
Father Bouska was prominently men
toned as a candidate when that do
cese was first created a few years ago.
AS he speaks several Of the modern
languages fiuently he would be pecul-
iarly fitted to minister to the various
nationalities comprised within the bor-
ders Of this new diocese.

Recent experiments at Sheffield, Eng
land, suggest the possibility that in this
century shields may once more form an
important part OF the equipment OF an
army. Steel shields, three millimeters
In thickness, and about $50 square
inches in area, have been devised,
which afford complete protection
against bullets fired from the service
rifle at a range of 400 yards. The small
size OF the shield, which weighs only
seven pounds, requires that the soldier
shall lie prone on the ground in order
TO be sheltered. Each shield has q
ioophole for the rife, and studs at the
sides, so that q series Of them al be
linked into q continuous screen. The
idea Is thai by the use OF such shields
the necessity of digging trenches may
be avoided. !. Fry.

BY WAGON WHEEL

Elkton, S. D., June 17.-Nels Hal
seide, a prominent farmer residing in
this vicinity, was the victim OF a ter
rible accident, ne receiving injuries
which II Is feared will result in his
purpose of hauling lumber for a neigh

driving one of three wagons loaded
with lumber. He had stepped to the
ground and was attempting to get up
on his wagon when he lost his balance
and fell, the team being in motion at
the time. The unfortunate farmer fell
directly under The wheels, one of
which passed across his face and eyes,
crushing his skull. He was without

was summoned. That he will survive
his terrible injuries is very doubtful,
although the physicians in attendance
are doing everything possible for him.
