Farm Residence Near Remington Robbed Thursday.

Remington Press: Burglars gained entrance to the farm house of Walter Snyder on the Bartee farm one and a half miles south of town, some time Thursday night and stole SBO in money and a diamond ring valued at SBS, and made their departure as quietly as they had entered, without disturbing any of the occupants of the house who were sleeping up stairs. Mr. Snyder works by the month for Charles Bartee and is not in the habit of keeping money in the house. He sold some fat cattle to Croft Cheek this week, and thinks the theif must have known of this transaction, and that he had tht money in the house. He will pay a liberal reward for any clew that leads to the arrest of the guilty parties. It is hard to believe we have this kind of people in our midst, but the jot looks very much like the work of some local man who was acquainted with the circumstances.

The Oratory Contest at St. Joseph College.

That there are still some budding Henry and Websters and Philipsps in this country was again demonstrated here last Sunday evening. The occasion that called, forth this display of oratorical ability was the annual contest for the Conroy Oratory Medal. Ten youthful speakers strove for the victory. Hon. E. P. Honan presided and introduced each speaker with some well chosen and happy remarks. He also held a short concluding address of congratulation, good will and encouragement.. As Mr. Honan so happily said the contest was indeed an oratorical treat. The efforts of each speaker were praiseworthy. Mr. James MacIntyre was returned the victor by the judges. Messrs. M, Green and H. Post were tied for second honors and close rivals to the winner. The following were the contestants and their subjects: “Hannibal, a Defeated Hero,” Mr. Leo Spornhauer. “Selfishness,” Michael Green. “Father Hecker,” Theodore Koenn. “Peace,” August Berghoff. “Friendship,” William Dowling. ' “Oliver Cromwell,” Dennis Durler. “Fanaticism,” Conrad Stoll. “Heroes,” Henry Post. “Athletics,” Henry Grimmelsman. “Napoleon,” Charles Buetle. “Catharine of Aragon,” James McIntyre. The orations were interspersed with musical selections by the orchestra. The members added new laurels to thqir already great popularity, judging from the encore calls. The C. L. S. on last Sunday held their last meeting for this school year. The literary work performed by the society during the year is indeed commendable. The crowning event of the year, however, will be the presentation of Bulwer-Lytton’s drama “Richelieu” on commencement evening. The selected actors are now buisly engaged In daily practice. Hon. E. P. Honan, who directs the society's parliamentary progress was present at the meeting and expressed his satisfaction with the literary accomplishments of the year. We look forward with delight to their last effort and feel confident that the society’s hlgs‘ standard for acting will be maintained.
