CULINARY DEMONSTRATION BY PROF.
BECKER DRAWS LARGE CROWDS

Portable seating capacity to accommo-
date all who attend, including the class
ca from the domestic science depart
ments of the different schools who re-
ceive great benefit from the profess
sor's instructions. Simplicity is the
key note,o "Do it the easy way, ="
"Use melted shortening and save elbow
grease" Every lady who hears Prof.
Becker's lecture and learns the short
cuts in culinary work will have more
time for other duties and will bless him
for coming to Grangeville.
The menu has been changing daily
during the demonstration. All dainties
and baking are served to those present.
Monday was cookie day; Tuesday cake
day; Wednesday bread day; including
the "loaf of bread that the sun shines
through three times at once" and
which saved mans life, who was con-
demned to death but who was pardoned
by the king because he could bake such
a wonderful loaf The man 8 name was
Pretzle and this is the true story and
origin of the pretzle, also sometimes
defined as "cracker with the
cramps"
Today is pie day and also Professor
Becker's wonderful walking cake was
baked. 1t was 1sx20 inches, 7 layers
high, with jelly between and frostng
ON top. Twenty ladies stood on plank
placed on top of the cake and the cake
came back like Kelley's cat. Much fun
and merriment was occasioned by this
stunt, not a trick at all, but you see il
was baked in Majestic range.

WEATHER MoDERATING.

Sunday there was good sleighing and
many were out sharing in its enjoy
ment. Sunday night about midnight
the Chinook came and since that time
the snow has begun to go away and
bare, black spots indicate where the
snow has been either melted or blowed
away. The high wind of Sunday even
ing drifted into the cuts on the rail
road and the train had considerable diff
ficulty getting out on Monday. On the
return trip it was about an hour late
The present weather continuing the
snow will soon be replaced with mud.

The Christmas spirit seems to be

interest in the sale of the Majestic
range to justify the factory in sending
Prof. Becker here. This is real enter

the demonstration is in the interest
of advertising yet the five days of DEM

been of inestimable value in the in

DR.. SLUSSER GOES EAST.
To Take POSTGRADUATE Course in Lead
ing Eastern Medical School

DR.. c. w. Slusser leaves for the East
next Sunday morning to be gone in the
neighborhood of three months. The
doctor will put in this time in special
work in the big eastern hospitals de-
voting a large part of it to special
work in surgery. The most of his time
will be spent in Chicago at the Chicago
Post Graudate Medical College and
Hospital and at Rush Medical College
of which latter place he is graduate.
He will also attend the clinic in New
York and at the Mayo Hospital at
Rochester, Minnesota.
This is the first visit the doctor has
made East since graduating in medicine
over thirteen years ago. He naturally
is looking forward with pleasure to the
trip but is in doubt as to how it will
appeal to him after such long resi-
dence in the West. DR.. Slusser has
been reputable and successful prdc-
titioner of Grangeville for nearly nine
years. Before coming here he was at
the head of the Standpoint Hospital foI
two years and a half. While there he
had a very large experience in surgery
and has done some surgery here. He
is taking this postgraduate work tc
put himself righ up-to-date in all the
latest operations and intends to return
here and gwe the people of Camas
prairie the benefit of the knowledge
and experience he will receive.

Bishop O'Gorman's
| Fiftieth Anniversary

The Sioux Falls Argus-Leader, In a
column editorial, speaking Of the fif-
tieth anniversary of the ordination (
Ri. Rev. Thomas O'Gorman, bishop
of the Roman Catholic diocese Of
Sioux Falls. refers to Bishop O'Gor-
man as follows:
Bishop O'Gorman was born in Bos
ton, and spent his boyhood in Chica-
go and St. Paul. When about 10
years old he was sent to France with
Archbishop Ireland, who was then
but 16 years old, where he pursued
his studies preparatory to the priest
hood. On his return to st. Paul in
1865, he was ordained as a priest on
the 5th of November, and was as
signed to missionary work in south
ern Minnesota, making his headquar-
tiers at Rochester. In 1878 he joined
the Paulist order, and went to New
York city as assistant in st. Paul's
church.
in 1885, Bishop O'Gorman was
chosen president of St. Thomas semi
nary in st. Paul, n of the foremost
educational institutions in the coun-
try for preparing young men for the
priesthood, In that institution, the
new president, besides his executive
duties, was professor OF philosophy
and dogmatic theology. With the
opening of the Catholic university at
Washington, st. Thomas lost it's pres
ident, whose many-sided ability had
attracted the attention of the church
authorities.
While at the university, Bishop
O'Gorman was entrusted with the task
of writing a history of the Catholic
church in the United States, which
is the ninth volume in the we'll known
of UNCONVENTIONAL church his
tories published by the American So
ciety of Church History. Bishop
O'Gorman's book was at once recog-
nized as an authority on the subject.
1t shows ag reat breadth Of thought,
a finely trained mind, and the strict
est attention to details, which is a
mark Of the painstaking, thorough
student and scholar.
May 2, 1896, means a memorable
date in the Catholic history of South
Dakota. On that day Bishop O'Gor-
man arrived in Sioux Falls, accom-
panied by Archbishop Ireland and
many other clergymen, and he was
installed as bishop if the diocese.
Later on, he was appointed a
member of the Taft commission and
went to Rome in connection with the
settlement of important civil and re-
problems in the Philippines.
This was no easy task; but Bishop
O'Gorman was able to do his share
successfully to bring about a satisfac-
tory settlement Of many vexed prob

Proceedings have been instituted
against certain elevator companies
doing business in the southern part
of Grant county, They include the
McCaull & Webster Co. at Albee, the
Pacific Elevator Co. at Revillo, and
others. The charge is that they paid
several cents more per bushel for
grain at Albee and Revillo than at
other stations along the line, the
freight being the same in each case
to the markets. In other words, they
are charged with discrimination in
the matter OF price.

The editor of the Saturday News,

many a package is delayed, some

dress. We have in mind one especial |
ly large and ~nicelooking package
was mailed in Watertown once
upon a time. No address whatever
was given-no name, no postofice,
mo nothing" The package was
opened for the purpose Of ascertain
if possible, the name of the
party mailing it, but nowhere, either
inside or outside, was there a line
for whom it was intended
who had mailed it. 1t was for
warded to the dead letter office, and
probably unto this day somebody is
cussing the postal authorities for
carelessness in handling this package
that it reached it's destin-
alton. With more or less variation
there are thousands of such cases
and some of them will occur again
in Watertown during the coming holi-
day season unless people are more
than they used to be a few
years ago. If you'll ask Postmaster
Martin about it, he'll tell you that
some people are still careless.
