Bishop O'Gorman is a very. distin4
guished man in the Catholic church
of the United States. He was edacAt-

and responsible positions. He was

sent time over 20 years of age.
Mayor Hitchcock, on behalf ,ofs the
city, congratulated the Catholic peo-
pie of Mitchell, and also Father
IO'Flaherty, for the successful COM
pletion of one of Mitchell's greatest
achievements. While not a Catholic
himself, he admired the sacrifice
made by the Catholics to educate
their children as they saw best. The
Mitchell Concert band furnished mus
sic for the occasion.
Since its founding in 1884, the
!. Catholic school has made marked
progress. The first school was housed
in a small frame building, doing only
the parochial school work, which cor
responds to the work done by. the
grade school of the city. At the pre-
sent time pupils from nearly every
county in the state attend; this
school. TIE enrichment fur the term
just ended was 220. N
The school now affords besides the
work in the p%arochial schools, an aca-
|demic course, which corresponds to
high school course. Special instruc-
ton is given in music, both vocal and
instrumental and there is also a
splendid department in domestic eel,
ence.
The cost of the academy reached
the sum of $4,000, which IL almost
completely paid for. The present site
occupied and owned EBy the G8tioliGss
is one of the most beautiful in the
city. -
Father c. E. %o'Flaherty, asssuper-
intendent of the schools, Is given
much credit for the work that no has
done to make yesterday the red
letter day that it was to the Catholic
people of Mitchell.

Right Rev. Bishop O'Gorman, of
Sioux Falls paid tribute, yesterday
afternoon to the achievements attain
ed by the Catholic people of Mitch
ell, when as the chief figure in the
ceremonies, he formally dedicated
the new Notre Dame academy. At the
morning service Bishop O'Gorman
administered the sacrament of con-
firmation to- 220 members, of whom
100 were Catholics from infancy, the
the church from other denomina-
tions.
Right Rev. Mgr. F. A. Flynn, said
mass, and then Bishop iO'Gorman de-
livered the address, his subject be-
ing on Confirmation" He brought
out chiefly, two effects produced by
the Holy Ghost, namely, enlighten4
ment and fortitude, thus enabling us
to better understand the doctrines of
Christ, and giving strength to with
stand social and literary persecution.
He further stated that during the
first centuries of Christianity, the
Christians were tortured and put to
death.
1--WE are now beyond that" he
said. However a no less odious form
of persecution has arisen on the part
on the character of the most sacred
publications, circulated to cast odium
on the character of the most scored
persons of the church."
After the morning service 20 of the
visiting priests met with as many of
the trustees and various committees
Of the church, in the dinine room of
the new academy building, where an
elaborate four curse dinner was pre-
pared by the students of the domestic
science department.
AT 2 O'Clock in the afternoon the
civic services of the day were held in
the open air, the addresses being
made from a constructed platform
on the east side of the academy build
ing.
Bishop O'Gorman, again, made a
very eloquent address choosing as his
subject this text, He advanced in
age, in wisdom. in grace, before God
and men," He explained the triple
requirements of an education, the
training of the body, the imparting of
scientific knowledge to the mind, and
the teaching of religion for the bene-
fit of the soul. He brought out the
relations of these statements to the
existing works of the Catholic church

Alarge, funnel shaped cloud. ap-
peared six miles southwest of CAMS
tota about 10 o'clock after the wiud
had blown a hard gale all evening.
The cyclone formed in the neighbor-
hood of Fred Henthorn's place, trav-
eled in a direction almost due north
and swept everything in its path for
nearly eight miles. All of the barns
and outbuildngs on the Henthorn and
James Graham farms We're blown
down. No buildings happened to be in
the path of the storm until it struck
the Fred Harms place, two miles
northwest of Canistota, where a fine
set of farm buildings were complete
ly demolished and the ruins scatter
ed for a mile in every direction. Four
members of the Harms family were
seriously injured.
The house and all the outbuildings
were reduced to splinters and the de-
bris scattered over the fields. Mr.. and
Mrs. Harms and their two sons, Ed
ward and Herman, were in the house
when the tornado struck. After it
passed Edward was found in the cell
lar and Herman and his father were
found in the ruins, all in an uncon-
scious condition. Mrs. Harms had
three ribs broken. She was the only
member of the family able to go to
the neighbors for aid. Neighbors and
people from Canistota quickly respon
ded. The injured we're taken to the
home of Dan Harms, where their
wounds We're dressed by a surgeon.
Edward and Herman have regained
consciousness and are considered out
of danger, but their father is still
unconscious, and his condition is con-
sidered serious.
Many were kept busy all day today
caring for the injured horses and cat
tie, and thousands of people gathered
to view the scene of ruin, many re-
naming all day to clear away the
%wreckage.

THIRTY AT THE
MOOSE MEETING
ABOUT THE SAME NUMBER OF
COUNTIES REPRESENTED
CONTEST OVER LENGTHaOF .
TICKET.

Huron, S. D.-About thirty dele
gates are in attendance at the state
convention of the Progressive party,
which was called to meet in Huron at
II o'clock this morning. About the
same number of counties are repre-
sented.
Senator Beveridge, who, it was an
%nounced, would deliver an address,
failed to appear, and asa result there
will be no formal speech before the
convention.
All that was done at the morning
session was to name a committee on
credentials. This committee consisted
of e. l.. Sem of D%eadwood, o. S.
Basford of Redfield, John Sutherland
of Pierre, Bailey of Aberdeen and
Martin Boice of Mitchell. .
The convention was called to meet
again at l O'Clock to hear the report
of the credentials committee. First
on the program will be a question as
to whether or not the convention
should name a full ticket. This is OPP
posed by E. l.. Sem of Deadwood
and it appeared this morning that
he would be practically alone in lead
ing the fight against a full ticket. 80
There was a good deal of discussion
of candidates this morning. For Unit
ed States Senator the names most
heard were those of Loucks, Petit
grew, Sutherland and Dowdell.
For governor, if others than a Sen
ator are nominated, it seems certain
w. H. McMasters of Yankton will be
chosen, if he will accept the nomina-
ton. For congressman the prediction
is thai H. A. Ustrud of Sioux Falls
will be nominated in the First dis
trict, H. e. Packard of Redfield in
the Second and Seth Bullock of Dead
wood in the Third. Packard is here
but Bullock and Ustrud are not.
AT the afternoons meeting nothing
was done up to 3 O'Clock but to APP
point the various committees. No
action was taken or considered as to
whether or not a full ticket should
be named. Mr.. Sem claimed to have
about half the delegates with him in
opposition to a full ticket, but the
to outsiders the majority seemed to
be the other way.
Following are the committees nam
ed this afternoon:
Permanent Organizations. E.
Van Dee, Dougles; George w. Wright
Beadle; and B. P. Valley, Butte.
Resolutions-John Sutherland, of
Hughes; Allie Reed, Meade; and A.
L. Nichols, M%innehaha.
Order of business-O. s. Basford,
Sphinx; George Almond, Turner; and
S. M. Blair, Fall River.

SIOUX FALLS HIT
Miniature Tornado Destroys
One Home and Does
Other Damage
From Tuesdays Daily


Sioux Falls, S. D.-That a NINA
ture tornado swept the western and
southern edges of Sioux Falls last
night is shown by reports which were
received today. During the passage
of the storm no person was injured.
The house and barn of Fred Hamlin
in the western suburbs were demol-
ished, many trees in Hunters grove
were uprooted and dwelling houses in
the grove narrowly escaped destruc-
ton. Numerous window lights were
blown in at the McKenna hospital.
Huron, S. D.-A severe storm
about ten miles north and northwest
of Washington yesterday afternoon
did much damage to farm buildings.
Particulars r mot obtainable,
Storms near Sheffield and southeast
of Huron also did much damage.
There have been heavy rains here,
nine inches having fallen in a week
and the town is flooded.
Huron, S. D.-The total precipita-
ton in this city yesterday afternoon
and last evening was $50 inches, the
heaviest rain in years, nearly an inch
more water falling than in the rain
of two weeks ago.
Even more trouble was experienced
with flooded Easements all over town
Sunday evening than in the rain of
two weeks ago, both in the business
section and in the residence portion
of town. The Herald was flooded
and unable to print it's morning paper
there, the work being done at The
Huronite office. Much trouble was
experienced by j. A.. Sauer with wat
er in the basement of his cigar fac
tory. Mr.. Sauer was also a heavy
loser in the former rain.
Later reports this morning from
Washington told of the partial destruc
ton by a tornado of the dwelling on
the farm owned by Mrs. Ella Hill of
Huron. The granary on the same
place was completely wiped out.
Residents of that vicinity report hav-
ing seen no less than eight distinct
twisters. All of these funnel-shaped
clouds were rather small and all but
one failed to reach down to the
ground.

PLAYERS RACE
WITH STORM
CAMPUS PRODUCTION OF "NfID-
SUMMER NIGHTS DREAM" BY
ID. w. U. SENIORS FINISHED
JUST BEFORE RAIN.

Shakespeare's charming combina-
tion of fairy superstitions and fam
tastic riotings known as "a Mid-Sum-
mer Nights Dream" was presented
yesterday afternoon on the campus by
the seniors of Dakota Wesleyan.
There was a rave between the cast
and the rapidly approaching rain
storm but the seniors won by a neck.
A large and appreciative audience
followed with close interest the
strange adventures of the lovers in
the fairy-haunted forest, the mischi-
evous antics of Puck, the whimsical
misadventures of Titania, and the ir-
resistible humors of Bottom, the
weaver, and his bucolic companions.
Frank Leffert and Mamie Grace
played the parts, respectively of The
seus, Duke of Athens, and the queen
ly Hippolyta. Harold Meyer doubled,
playing, the father of Hernia and also
Starveling, a tailor. Corde Kirkpat-
rick was master of revels. Frank
Martin and George Bobertson spirit
eddy impersonated Lysander and De
metrius who were always falling in
love with the wrong girls. Bernice
Frost and Marie Newell took the roles
of Hernia and Helena with honor and
charm. Ella Whitlow made a strik-
ingly handsome Queen>of the Fairies,
while Sadie Bartlett skipped about
as the frolicsome Puck with rare
abandon and keen appreciation of the
foolishness of mortals.
Harry Nash's portrayal of the
character of Bottom. who wanted to
play all the parts of the tragedy OF
Pyramus and Thisbe from leading
nan to roaring lion, brought the
most frequent laughter. He was ably
supported by Walter Fredine, Leslie
Grace, Warner Hubbard, Claus Food
sma, other stage-struck rustics.
Claus Zoodsma also doubled, taking
the part of Oberon. And Ruth Niebu-
hr, Helen Gross, Laura Saul and Ra.
chel Carlisle were the prettiest FAIRIES
imaginable.
Mrs. w. G. Seaman had charge OF
the production. She had coached the
players and with the help of Mrs
Mead of the Art Department had
planned the costumes which were
very artistically effective, the color
schemes being unusually pleasing.

NEW EXPLORER
FINDSRIVER
O. L. BRANsoN, GEoGRAPHER,
SAYS THERE CAN'T BE ANY
DOUBT ABOUT THIS ONE.

1t is reliably reported that O.. L..
Brancon, president of the First Nat
iraal bank, is busy preparing a new
address, or lecture, announcing the
discovery of a large river in South.
Dakota. 1t is not understood, how
ever, that he will exactly claim to
have equaled the achievement of Col.
Roosevelt in finding the River of
lea. Besides, Mr.. Branson states most
empahtically that there couldn't be
any doubt about the river he found.
1t is further understood that this
new geographical lecture by the Nit
chell banker is to be illustrated by
slide pictures of the river In question,
taken at the alluring hours of IL
midnight and 2 a. M. They would
have been motion pictures except for
the. fact that, unfortunately, Mr..
|Branson and his companion were un-
able to move themselves or anything
else.
The Start.

BraIson, accompanied by T. C.
Burns, left Mitchell by automobile
for Gregory, S. D., to deliver an adj
