Beautiful Costumes

Many charming costumes
which will be relished by society
women, are worn by Elsie Fer
guson, the beautiful Paramount
picture star, in her latest star
ring vehicle, Lady Roses
Daughter" which will be shown
at the Laclede theatre Saturday
night.
In the development of the
story which was written by Mrs.
Humphry Ward, the celebrated
English novlist, Miss Ferguson
plays three parts, the first that
of Lady Maude, in the period of
1860, the second that of Lady
Rose, the daughter of the fore
going, in the period of 1890, and
the third that of Julie LIE Breton,
the lllegltlmate daughter OF Lady
Rose, in the period of the present
day.
The costumes worn by Miss
Ferguson in these portrayals are
unusually rich and attractive and
each is typical of the styles of
the periods they represent. Miss
Ferguson's beautiful gowns long
have been a striking feature of
the photoplays in which she has
been seen and in her latest star
ring vehicle the finest creations
of noted modistes are con-
spicnously in evidence.

QUARREL ENDS IN KILLING
 AT FLOY, IN APACHE COUNTY

Last Saturday morning a most ter rible tragedy occurred at Floy, small town about 30 miles west of St. Johns, when C. c. White, a farm CT and cattleman of that place shot and killed R. C. Reeder, also farmer and rancher of Floy.
 From reports it seems that White and Reeder had had some words over their children who were attending school there and who had been quar- reIling as all children do at times. This happened on Monday.
 Saturday morning Mir. Reeder left his home and went to a spring with two barrels to get water and was re- turning home. It seems that White left home with his team for the pur- pose of going after wood and that he drove them into a thick grove of ce- dars and there tied them up and went out near the road, secreting himself behind dense growth of cedars about 20 feet from the road and waited for MT. Reeder. After MT. Reeder had passed about 60 or 70 feet, the first shot was fired. Reeder tried to force his team into a run "ltu dilOlIlCI SllOJ was lliCh dliu still tried to urge his horses on. At the third and last shot Reeder fell from his wagon. All three shots took effect and were from the side and back, one going clear through the body, while the other two came out near the spine and apparently were glancing shots. The gun used was 30-30.
 Mir. Reeder lived about three hours after he was shot and was conscious and told his wife who did the shoot ing, etc.
 After the shooting White came to St. Johns and gave himself up to the authorities and is now in the county jail.
 The families of both men have the sympathy of the whole community in this deplorable affair.-St. Johns Herald.

KANSAS CITY MARKET REPORT
October 30, 1922.

OCLODeG OU, lJZZ.
 Another 10 to 15 cent decline in hogs today took the market into new low position for the past nine months, and except in January, the lowest this year. Indications are that the mar ket will fall below cents before the decline is checked. The top price to- day was $8.4O and bulk of sales S7.9O to SS20. Lambs were quoted weak to 25 cents lower and sheep steady. Cat tie prices showed no quotable change, and general trade was quiet.
 TOday's Receipts
 Receipts today were 30,000 cattle, 12,000 hogs and 10000 sheep, compar- ed with 29,OO0 cattle, II ,000 hogs and cattle, 6,700 hogs and 2500 sheep a year ago.
 Beef Cattle
 In today's cattle run there was noth- ing to attract much competition from the buying side. As far as killers were concerned it was a plain lot and they went at their work of getting numbers with no enthusiasm. The best steers here ere short-fed classes that sold at $S.25 to S11 while strictly prime cattle would have sold up to SIS or better had any been available. Straight grass fat steers sold at S4 to 1925, or within the range of quo- tations established last week. Cows and heiferS were steady at last weeks decline, ith no special activity in the trade. A few choice light weight veal calves sold at steady prices and heavy killing grades were lower. StOckers and Feeders Choice stock calves, yearlings ana twos were steady. All other stocker and feeders grades were quoted off 10 to 25 cents. Common stockers were hard to sell as demand is largely for the better classes.
 Hogs Lower
 Hogs were quoted down 10 to l5 cents and the general market passed into a new low position for the sea- son, but remained relatively high com pared with more Eastern points. Many believe that the market will fall below the 8 cent level before it shows any stability. The winter packing season opens Wednesday, but because of the large demand on fresh pork accounts little packing will be done before the middle of ecember. The top price today was SS.40, and bulk of the offerings sold at S7.90 to SS.20. ~. Sheep and Lambs
 Lambs were 25 cents lower and sheep steady. Trade showed a fairly Iactive turn as soon as the decline. was established. The best Western lambs sold at $13.75 to S13.90. Ewess sold up to $6.75, and wethers up to $500. Horses and Mules
 No new feature was evident in the horse and mule market. Prices iheld steady with the better classes show ing fairly active demand.

1. w. W. ARRESTED IN
 HUNT HEADQUARTERS

Marking the second arrest of the kind in the last 48 hours, Antonio Papa, self-confessed member of the l. W. w., and believed by officers to be one of the ring leaders of recent labor trouble at Tacoma and Seattle, Washington, was arrested at Hunt headquarters by G. C. Blanco, deputy sheriff.

 Coincident with the arrest, the room said to have been occupied by Papa at the Santa Fe hotel, on South Sev- enth avenue, was searched by officers and large amount of evidence sefz- ed. On the lapel of a coat was found button emblem of the I. w. w. Other material seized consists of l. w. w. literature, records and stationery.

FOUNDER OF KNIGHTS
PRIEST WHO ESTABLISHED COL.
UM5ANUS SOCIETY DIES AT
BELFAST.

Canon O'Neill, of the Sacred Heart
church, Belfast, who has died sudden
ly, was one of the outstanding figures
among the clergy of the diocese of
Down and Connor, where he proved
himself an educationalist of a high
order. GGa ga-
He initiated in Belfast The Mems
Home. the Penny Bank, the Mater
Hospital Maintenance Scheme, the
Babies Home. the Seamen's Institute
and other special works. In his own
parish he established a club for men
another for boys and a third fol
girls. Inspired by the good work for
Cathoicity which the Knights of Col
umbus accomplished in America
Canon O'Neill was the founder of a
kindred society in Ireland which he
placed under the patronage and title
of an Irish Saint. Columbanus. This
society, within the few years of it's
existence, has inaugurated branches
in the principal cities of Ireland.

THE PAPlL ApARlM'N Mt
NEW ARRANGEMENT EFFECTED
BY HOLY FATHER-POPE Plus
HAS QUARTERS WHOLLY RE.
MODELLED,

The Papal apartments on the second
floor of the Vatican, which have been
entirely remodeled since the death of
Pope Benedict, have been taken over
by the new Supreme Pontiff, who.
while the repairs were going on, oc.
cupied the Tronette reception room.
Pope Plus XI has had the apart.
ment, which overlooks the square in
front of st. Peters, restored to the
arrangement it had under Plus X,
with corridor separating the chapel
from the other rooms. Pope Benedict
had moved the chapel to communicate
with his sleeping room.
Adjoining the chapel are the dining
room and two salons; overlooking St.
Peters Square and near the Pope's
sleeping room is the room occupied
by his personal servant, Malvestiti. as
well as the room of Monsignor Con-
falonieri, his chamberlain, and of Mon
signor Venini, his personal chaplain.
One hundred and twenty laborers,
who had just finished remodeling the
apartment, were guests recently at a
banquet rendered them by His Holi-
ness in the Hospice ST. Martha. Mon
signor Gonfalonieri presided, express.
ing the gratitude of the Pope and be-
slowing the papal benediction.

.PATRONtss OF Fl|EFs
ITALIAN AVIATORS TO TRANS
PORT NEW STATUE FROM
ROME TO LORETO.

Two Italian aviators will carry the
new statue of Our Lady of Loreto to
the Holy House after Pope Plus Xl
has blessed and crowned the image
at ceremony to be observed shortly.
The new statue is carved from cedar
as was the original destroyed by the
mysterious fire in the Holy House a
year ago.
1t is planned to have the blessing
and coronation of the statue take
place in St. Peters. After the cere-
mony the aviators will place the
statue in an airplane and rise from
the Piazza in front of the Basilica
and carry it to the chapel in the Holy
House.
Acceding to the request of several
Bishops. Pope Benedict XIV appointed
by decree issued on March "a, 1920,
Our Lady of Loreto as, patroness' of
aviators. The Holy House of Naz.
areth, in which dwelt Christ, His
Mother and ST. Joseph, was miracu
lously transported from the little vii
lage in Judea to Loreto. This is the
basis of the Blessed Virgins patron
age of air navigation under the title
Our Lady of Loreto.

THE GERMAN SCHOOLS
BISHOPS MEET AND ACT ON
SCHOOL ouEsTlo N-URGE
CATHOLIC PARENTS TO INSIST
ON CONFESSIONAL SCHOOLS
ONLY BASIS OF SOUND RELi.
GiON.

All Germany has been stirred by the
pronouncement on the subject Of con-
fessional schools issued by the Ger
man Bishops following their confer
ence in Fulda few weeks ago. This
pronouncement has been succeeded py
a pastoral letter which was read in
all the churches of the country on the
third Sunday of Lent. The full text
of this letter has been published by
the Catholic newspapers and by many
secular journals.
The school, say the Bishops, must
continue the educational work of the
Catholic family. Education is at once
the right and duty of parents and has
its beginning in the family. For Cath
olic children the school must CORE
spond to the spirit of the Catholic
family. This unity in education can
only be obtained and observed in the
confessional school; never in a secular
school. Catholic children must be
taught by Catholic teachers, and they
must have Catholic text books. or at
least books written in the spirit of the
Catholic religion
In the confessional schools, the Bish.
ops declare, religion is the solid foun-
dation upon which character is built.
The Crucifix on the wall breaches
self-responsibility, modification and
the avoidance of sin. The lessons
begin and end with prayer. Holy
Mass, the SacramentS and nrayor oro
the sources in which the child finds
strength and grace for the moral
struggles which no one escapes.
Catholic parents, even where they
are in the minority are urged to con-
tinue to demand Catholic education
for their children and Catholic schools
with Catholic teachers.
