me IS THRILLED BY DRAMA OF OBERAMMERGAU'S FAMED PASSION PLAY Father Slag Returns Home After Seeing Eucharistic Congress and German Actors Unless a person sees the Passion Play at Oberammergau he can have no appreciation of the dramatic qual- ities of the production or the man- ner in which it grips the onlooker, Rev. Father John A. H. Slag, rector of St. Mary's Procathedral, said to- day in discussing his four-month trip abroad. Father Slag sailed from New York April. 23 and went directly to La Goulette, Tunisia, on the North African shore, to attend the world eucharistic congress, held at the site of ancient Carthage. The ship on which he sailed, he said, was charter- ed by the Catholic Extension Sotiety of America and made one-day stops at Gibraltar and Algiers. Following the congress, Father Slag went to Naples and Rome and thence to Oberammergau to see the Passion Play. Following his visit to the fa- mous Bavarian village he toured Europe extensively before sailing for home on the Europa, holder of the Atlantic crossing record for steam- ships. The journey from Cherbourg to New York required only five days, he said. Has Audience With Pope ‘While in Holland, Father Slag visit- ed his parents. He said he found them both in good health and ex- pressed the hope that he will get back to Europe again while they still live. While in Rome, Father Slag said he had a delightful audience with Pope Pius XI To Mandan S Bells Will Announce Reopening of Public Schools in City September 1 — | School bells will ring in Mandan | again Monday, Sept. 1, it was an-| nounced this morning by J.

The cost to the average tourist for everything, in- cluding the purchase of minor curios and incidentals, is only about $20 for the week and the accommodations are first class, Father Slag said. The play, given three times a week, lasts about eight hours and is present- ed on an open air stage, although the auditorium in which spectators sit, is roofed. Approximately 300,000 persons will see the Passion Play this year, Father Slag said. On Historic Ground Approximately 100,000 persons at- tended the eucharistic congress at Carthage from May 7 to 11, Father Slag said. On the opening day there ‘was a solemn reception for Cardinal Lepicier, the Papal legate. The con- gress sessions were held in the Pro- cathedral of St. Louis on top of the historical hill of Byrsa, made famous by Virgil in his Aeneid. Other ses- sions were held in the amphitheater, the place where thousands of early Christians were martyred for their Gregor, mathematics; Leonard C.

Hansen, Syndicate; and Alex Ferderer, Custer. ‘ faith. Father Le Lattre, a member of the White Fathers, a religious order, has excavated much of the amphitheater and has found the ruins of the an- cient city, Father Slag said. One of the important ceremonies was the procession with palms in which 6,000 children participated, all clad in crusaders uniforms. They Placed palms on the graves of the martyrs, chief among whom where ‘ked the close of the congress. Cardinal Lepicier, preceded by cardinals, bish- ops, priests and laymen to the num- ber of 100,000, carried the Sacred Host from the Cathedral of St. Louis to the amphitheater and back again. The procession lasted about three hours and Father Slag estimated that about 800 Americans took part. The general theme of the congress, Father Slag said, revolved about the Holy Eucharist and St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, since thé congress marked the 15th centennial anniver- sary of his death. Mississippi River Lowest in History St. Paul. Aug. 20—()—Old man river was thin and sluggish today; a mere trickle of his former self, one might say, but he keeps rolling along. It's all because of the drought, which has left the upper Mississippi even lower than the low water mark in Civil war days. Despite the fact the stream at Winona, Minn., and LaCrosse, Wis., 4s two-tenths of a foot below the 1864 mark a few boats ply the upper river. The water level at Winona is 17 feet lower than the highest on Tecord. ; Among the novelties in footwear year are shoes made of the skins of frogs and baby sharks.:The latter 50 costly that it is bought me battle of Kings Mountain.

L. Berry, Mandan, had only one juvenile case today, the action in which two 17-year-old Indian boys are. charged with stealing a horse, according to John Handtmann, Sr., clerk of court. The two boys were to have a hear- ing before Judge Berry this afternoon. They are accused of stealing a horse Saturday night from the corral of Joe Schmidt, living near Huff. Monday the judge considered the case brought against a Grant county commissioner and auditor by Henry Hertz, Grant county sheriff. Yester- day he dismissed a writ of certiorari issued in the case of W. H. Backsen against the city of New Salem. Mr. Backsen had attempted to withdraw certain of his property from the city limits. Needing signatures of th:ee- fourths of the residents in his district on a petition for the withdrawal, Mr. Backsen secured the signatures of himself and his wife. A daughter of the Backsens, 23 years old, the only other resident of the district, had not signed it. The petition therefore had signatures of only two-thirds of the residents, which is less than three- fourths, and the judge was iorced to dismiss the writ. ——————___—_—_— 1” Mandan Shorts ——— Mrs. Nellie Shinners, who has been @ guest at the home of her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. R.
