LADY'S PURSE SNATCHED.
Bold Robbery at Orangeburg.-Ban'
dit Not Yet Caught.

Orangeburg, Jan. 14.-One' Of the
boldest robberies in. this vicinity for
some time occurred last night when
an unknown man snatched a silver
vanity case containing money from
the hand of Mrs. Dan K. Dukes. From
what could be learned Mrs. Dukes
was walking on Whitman street to-
ward her home, accompanied by Miss
Agnes Shuler, shortly after dark. On
reaching a point opposite College ave-
nue.. the couple noticed a man coming
up behind them, but owing to the in
tense darkness at this point, they
could not distinguish any of his feat
ures. On coming up with the two,
apparently intending to pass, he
snatched the case and several other
articles from the hand of Mrs. Dukes
and made off at rapid gate down
College avenue. The other articles
were found on the ground near the
scene of the robbery this morning.
The matter has been placed in the
hands of the police, but the culprit
has not been apprehended as yet.
There is said to be gang of
thieves, we'll known to the police,
headed by several young white men,
which has been operating in this city
for some time. 1t is likely that be-
fore long the whole gang will be ap-
pretended and dealt with to the full
extent of the law, say the police.

Carlisle School.

Head Master J. c. Guilds, of the
Carlisle school, reports that only
three students failed to return after
the Christmas holidays, which he
considers an excellent record. 1t is
usual that several students drop out
after the first part of the session.
This year two boys and one girl did
not return, but the school enlisted
two new students, making the net
loss only one student.
The school now has on hand Sc
bales of cotton received on tuition
and fees at ten cents pound. MIR.
Guilds has an excellent photograph
recently taken of the cotton with the
boys who entered the school on part
payment of their fees with the cot
ton.

What the Civic League Has Done

In giving a resume of what the
Civic league has done for Bamberg,
since it's organization, it might be
we'll to say that the best and most
lasting good has been its creating OF
sentiment.
Its institution of semi-annual clean
up week has done much for the looks
and probably the health of the town.
1t is surprising now to see how many
residents, the colored as we'll as the
white, take such an active interest
in these clean up movements-not
merely cleaning alleys, side streets
and adjoining vacant lots-both to
the side and back. Everybody doesn' t
do this, butfsome do, and that means
the betterment of sanitation in what
ever neighborhood it is done.
Some of the work that is perma-
nennt is as follows:

DIOCESE OF WINONA.

Winona, Diocese of (Winonensis),

Paul, comprises the following coun-
ties in southern Minnesota: Wi

Steele, Waseca, Blue Earth, Wato-
wan, Cottonwood, Murray, Pipestone,
Rock, Mobiles, Jackson, Faribault,
Martin, Freedom, Mower, Fillmore,
and Houston. The area of the do
cese is 1922 square miles.
The early Catholic voyagers and
missionaries visited many parts of
Minnesota now under the jurisdiction
of the Bishop of Winona. In 1860
Groseilliers and Radisson made visit
to the Prairie Sioux Gin southern or
southwestern Minnesota. There are,
3 however, no definite records showing
what route they took or how far they
travelled; in all probability they fol-
lowed the course of the Minnesota
river. In 1880 Father Hennepin, &C
companied by Antoine Angelic and
Michael Accault, set out from Fort
Creve-coeur to explore the upper Mis-
sissippi On the Minnesota shore the
territory which they passed on the
journey from La Crescent to Lake
City now belongs to the Diocese of
Winona In 1858 Nicholas Perrot es-
tablished trading post at or near the
site of the present city of Wabasha.
With him was the Jesuit Father, Jo-
seph Jean Marest, who labored as a
missionary among the Sioux Indians.

elapsed when Bishop Loras, in 1889,

1896 he was made vice rector and in
the following year rector of the St.
Paul Seminary. On the day of his
conservation as Bishop of Winona
May 10, 1910, six bishops were con-
secrated for the Province of St. Paul.
Bishop Heffron was installed at Wi
mona May "a, 1910. AS a monument
to the memory of his predecessor he
erected in Winona Q91D the "Cotter
School for Boys" of which the Chris
tan Brothers have charge. In the
fall of 1911 work was started at Ter
race Heights, Winona, on the founda-
ton of a college for young men. Bish-
op Hebron has likewise established a
diocesan journal entitled "The Vino

monthly at Winona.

ity. In 1910 Father Galtier was sent
to Mendoza. He was the first parish
priest to exercise the sacred ministry
in Minnesota. During his pastorate at
Mendoza, Father Galtier made many
visits to Wabasha. Here in 1889
Augustine ROGUE had erected trad
ing post. At Mr.. Rocque's home
Father Galtier assembled the early
settlers and offered for them the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass. In April 1843,
Monsignor Ravoux, travelling from
Mendoza to Dubuque, visited, among
other places, Wabasha and Winona
In his memoirs" he writes that Wi
mona was then "a prairie without in
habitants." In fact, in 1851, no sys-
tematlc attempt at settlement had
been made in what is now the diocese
of Winona.
On February 2, 1855, at Mankato,
Monsignor Ravoux celebrated what
was very probably the first mass ever
offered in southwestern Minnesota. In
June of the same year Bishop Cretin
visited Mankato and organized the
parish of St. Peter and St. Paul Father
Sommereisen became its first pastor
on March 10, 1885, Many of the mis-
sions in southwestern Minnesota were
established by the Jesuits, who took
charge of the parish at Mankato on
January u, 1874. In 1856 Bishop
Cretin visited Winona and organized
a parish under the care of the Rev.
Thomas Murray. Monsignor Oster,
then young priest on mission duty in
Minnesota, made occasional visits to
Winona. In July, 1858, the Rev. Mi
chael Prendergast became the first
resident pastor. Besides his duties
in Winona, Father Prendergast had
charge of the Catholics in Wabasha,
Olmstead, Houston, Fillmore, Steele,
and Mower counties. In 1856, Bishop
Cretin visited Brownsville, Caledonia,
Rushford, Chatfeld, Buckley Settle

other places in southern Minnesota.

that it would be bad policy to
make appropriations for a por.
ton of the work on these build
ings, 1t is agreed that policy
of completing the buildings as
rapidly as possible and making
the whole appropriation at once
would be preferable. AT the
same time the policy contemplate
ed in the senate proposition is
the policy which has prevailed
in the state of Kansas for a mum
ber of years and policy which
has also prevailed in many other
states with reference to the
buildings at their great ednca-
tioual institutions.
We believe we represent the
sentiment of the ways and means
committee of the senate and of
the senate as body when we say
that we still stand ready to do all
IN our power to find a solution
for the situation that confronts
us. Had the house committee
accepted the Invitations extend
ed for conferences from the be-
ginning Of the session, much of
the present difficulty could have
been obviated, in our opinion,
and agreed bills would have been,
placed before the two houses
long ago, which each would have
passed.
We believe the people Of Kan
Sas do not want an extra session
of the legislature, the expense of
which will amount to great
many thousands of dollars. We
shall lend our best efforts to
avoiding such extra session. We
hope thesame spirit may animate
those members of the house who
have been most closely associat-
ed with the appropriation budget
and that committees may be APP
pointed by the two bodies that
will be willing to confer, to make
reasonable concessions each to
the other, and to reach an agree
ment that will be the solution Of
the present problem. ."-X-Rays
