ST. LEO'S PARISH RETREAT
ATTRACTS LARGE CROWDS

Rev. Eugene Gehl, missionary Of
St. Johns Institute for the Deaf at
St. Francis. Wis.,, is in charge of a
Parish Retreat at St. Leos Catholic
church this week, his meetings being
attended by large crowds. Father
Gehl is an unusually able speaker and
an orator with a considerable dra-
matte ability. He holds services
twice daily, at seven in the morning
and O'Clock in the evening. The
services Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday were for the men and boys
and the services for the remainder
Of the week will be for the women
and girls exclusively, with meetings
for all on Sunday.
sisted of giving advice to married
rying. He urged married men to
be kind in their homes. So many
are perfect models at their places of
business but gruff and unkind in their
own homes. Women as a rule, are
shut within the four walls all day
long, attending to their home duties
and have right to expect sociability
and kindness from their husbands on
their return in the evening. Humor
the whims of the ladies, he urged.
Women should be considered as mems
equals in the home. God placed them
on the same plane as the men. He
urged young men to consider care
fully before marrying. Select a
woman who will be help, not him
drance. Select one who. is not afraid
to work. Select one who has prac-
ticed cooking on her brothers. Don't
select one of the "hand painted China
dolls" he said. A man will soon grow
weary of sitting across the table from
such thing. The glamour of such
a marriage will soon wear off. Mixed
marriages as rule are not successful
especially where there are children
in the homes. The mother usually
dictates the church which the children
will join, or too often it is the mother
in-law, He urged husbands to observe
marriage vows to the Very letter.
Where the husband is unfaithful, dis
ease usually follows, resulting in chill
dren that are sickly or weak minded.
Thousands Of young girls in the Unit
ed States have their lives ruined by
married men, he said, and as a result
the Homes Of the Good Shepherd are
filled to overfiowing. When a mar
ried man pays especial attention to
girl, he's rogue, he said. He class
ed birth control as great sin and
one that will eventually cause the
downfall Of any great nation if not
discouraged.
Father Gehi's collection for the
week will be used in operating the
school for the deaf with which he is
connected. Ten Sisters and two
Priests are connected with the school.
There are ninety children in the lnsti-
tute, including three from North Da-
kota.

SCOTT w. McALISTER, DIED
AT HIS SURREY HOME MONDAY

Scott w. McAlister, who would have
been 81 years Of age on Feb. 6 next,
passed away at his home three miles
northeast of Surrey Monday morning
from infirmities of age. Funeral SER
vices were held from the Brethren
church in Surrey Wednesday at 1:3O
O'Clock, the services being in charge
of Rev. Miller, assisted by Elders D.
r. Dierdorff and D. NJ. Shorb. The
body, accompanied by the son, Walter,
were taken to the old home at Union
Bridge, Maryland, on No. 2, where
they will be buried beside the remains
of his first wife, who died many
years ago.
Mr.. McAlister was born Feb: 6,
1889, in Adams county, Pa, and when
one year old moved with his parents
to Union Bridge, Md. Here he mar
ried and reared family Of ten chill
dren, all Of whom are living. Six
daughters and two sons live in TIE
east while two sons, D. Earl McAlis.
ter and Walter, Surrey farmers, the
latter having lived with his father,
Mr.. McAlister was married about
twelve years ago, his second wife Sur
viving. He came to Ward county
seventeen years ago and tiied on
homestead near Surrey where he con-
tinued to reside until his death. He
was an excellent citizen and sue
cessful farmer. He was a member
of the Russelfte faith.

est point the agricultural interests of
our community. His advice was con-
stantly sought by his neighbors in re-
gard to agricultural affairs and was
cheerfully given.
"In our village life he was just as
large figure. No village undertake
ing was set on foot but that he help
ed. The largest taxpayer in the
township he used his office as men,
Der Of the Board Of Education, to pro-
mote in every way the welfare of the
public schools and he helped formu'
late the present policy which has
made our schools so marked sue
cess.
"This same spirit is seen in his
family life. His wife, whose passing
we solemnized just little more than
a year ago, was one of the gentlest
spirits l have ever known and their
home life seemed in perfect accord.
His rich legacy Of happy home life is
left to their children. | commend it
to their careful consideration and pre-
servation in their own lives and
homes.
FINALLY, of this church, Bro. Tof-
flemire was consistent and faithful
member. In my pastorate now length
ening to it's fifth year, can scarcely
recall half dozen times that Bro.
Tofflemirc was absent from the ser
vices unless out of the village on bust
ness affairs--and that was not often.
His money, his time, and his good
counsel were always ours.
'In such an hour of grief as the
family is now passing through it is
well to remember this. 1t is we'll,
especially, to emulate this part of
his life, to have some definite part in
the building Of Gods kingdom here
below
'In this life we can see but dimly
into that future life. 1t is we'll for
us that it is so. Yet over there is
loving Father. Over there is a kind
Saviour. Over there our lives will
be summed up for what they really are.
So in Gods hands who doeth moth
ing wrong we will leave the life of
our friend for he believed in Him
of whom it was said "God so loved
the world that he gave his only be-
gotten Son, that whosoever believeth
in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life.'

Avery Erickson, whiskey runner

thru the body by the late Lee 5. Fail
er, Minot officer, who died as the re-
suit Of wounds received from Erick-
sons revolver, passed away at st.
Joseph's hospital this afternoon at
1:l5 O'Clock. Pneumonia set in and
the man was in such a weakened con-
dition that he did not long survive.
Erickson, who was considered wei! on
the road to recovery, became restless
Monday and tore the stitches OF his
wound loose, making it necessary to
sew up the wounds again. For two
nights prior to his death he did not
sleep a wink. Gus Bergstrom, night
guard appointed by Sheriff Scofield,
remained at the mans room in the
hospital each night since Sunday.
Erickson's wife left for her home at
Chisholm. Minn., Tuesday, expecting
to return after she had attended to
some business matters. The remains
have been taken to Van Fleets under
taking parlors to await orders from
Mrs. Erickson. Doctors and nurses
saw that Erickson made no statement
concerning his personal affairs altho
