N. W., her three married daughters

fortunate mother of one. They are
the following: Mrs. Bee Diliman. Of

fessor DilIman, is spending the sum-
mer at Newell, S. D., where the pro-
Tfessor is conducting some experiments
for the government; Mrs, Gertrude

tention to the work Waterfowl peo-
lie will find hira a mcst c%ongenial as

Father O'Meara returned last Fri
day evening from Chamberlain, this
state, where he attended the annual |
retreat for the priests of the diocese.
Father Vesser, who accompanied him
to Chamberlain, arrived home Satur-
day, having gone by way of Huron for
an overnight visit with his people
who live there. Among other priests
who attended from this immediate
locality were Father Buchler Of Re
villo, Father Zimmerman of Kranz-
burg, Father Eckel of Waverly.
Faher (H. J.) O'Meara of Clear Lake,
farother of Father O'Meara of this
city, also returned to his city with
his brother. During the period of re-
treat, absolute silence is maintained
by all the priests except at meal time
and except for the master of the re-
treat, who conducts the service. The
period is one of meditation and self
analysis.
Miss Millie Nelson left last even
ing for Montana to spend a couple of
months visiting friends. With her
departure the young ladies' boarding
club is temporarily smashed flat as
a pancake pending her return, as she
is the general superintendent of the
culinary department which keeps the
members of the club supplied with
such edibles as sustain their precious
lives. The following constitute the
membership, the dining-roolm being
on the third floor of the Granite
block: Misses Millie and Martha Mel
son, Louise Thompson, Maud Elkins,
Tacy Brown, Gertrude Tiller. Pauline

Many of the pioneers of Dakota
territory, some now living in Water
town, pleasantly remember Mrs. Gil
bert Pierce. whose late husband was
governor o f8the territory, and they
will be interested in learning of her
death, which occurred recently i'll In
diana at the age of "a. Governor and
Mrs. Pierce were people of superior
attainments. The present manager
| of The Saturday News enjoyed a per-
sonal acquaintance with him, as he
was prominently connected with the
Chicago Inter Ocean before he YVES
appointed governor. The manager of
The News also holds an honorable
discharge from the National Guard,
signed by Governor Pierce as COM
mander-in-chief. But during the three
years that The Saturday News
man was a member Of the Guard,
there was never a shot fired except
ing in sham battle, which is infinite
Ily less dangerous than the real thing.
