IMPOSING CEREMONY SIX YOUNG LADIES TAKE BIG ALUMINUM SPECIAL at the 1ST STEP TOWARDS JOIN- Hoene Hardware ING BENEDICTINE ORDER Commencing at’8 a. m. June 10th 4 | An imposing ceremony recur- |ring at intervals, without ever | losing its interest for the by- |stander, took place at St. Ger- {trude’s Convent, on Tuesday | June 6th. At 8 o'clock a. m. at the chiming of the bells and ac- /ceded by maids carrying lighted | tapers, escorted by the Mother | Prioress, were led to the altar. | Their purpose was to take the | first steps towards joining the }community of the Benedictine Sisters. One of the candidates is from Germany, two are from Switzer- \land and 3 are from respected |families of our neighbor parish | Greencreek, which latter fact ac- |counts for the presence of num- |erous friends and relatives who |came to give a last hearty God- speed to a dear child and to an |esteemed friend on her noble |venture. The names of the jyoung ladies are as follows: | Misses Emma Feldmeyer, Bertha | old countries, Magdalene, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs, Michaei Jas. | Willenborg; Bertha, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Beckman; | Emma, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. | John Nuxoll. | In the absence of His Lord- |ship, Bishop Gorman, the Rev. | Chaplain of the convent presided at the ceremony assisted by the Rev. Faher Baerlocher, pastor of Greencreek. The ceremony of reception in- to a religious novitiate has for its principal feature the proces- sional entrance into the sanctu- ary. The maidens as said above, wear the livery of a bride and-a wreath on their brow, they lead their humble request to the Lord Bishop or his representative, to be received among those who, as | spouses of Christ, have devoted their life to His service in the | cloister. Before that request is granted, the young ladies are o earnestly admonished and warn- ed of the seriousness of the step lthey are contemplating; after which, if they still persist, they receive an affirmative | Then follows the symbolic rite of the cutting of the hair; the maidens then each receive the |religious garments and white | veil of the novices. Repairing to |an adjoining room they lay down their brilliant garments of the world to re-appear in the relig- ious livery, and from that time are received and treated as children of the family. They have had at least 6 months to get acquainted with the usages and customs of the community, to prove their will and their calling, and to try their strength and | ability in complying with the | observances of the religious life. | Another year, that of the noviti- late, is given them for the same |purpose. And during that time the maidens,enjoy full liberty | with regard to their choice, that means, that at any time they are perfectly free to leave and return | to the world, should they or their | advisers deem it advisable. It ‘is only after the experiment has proved satisfactory to both nov- ‘ice and community that the This SPECIAL SALE will contain a large number of items that will be sold at 1c, 69c and $1.29.

WELL ATTENDED Will Hold a Picnic on West Side Soon—Other Matters Disussed. The Community Farm Club held a meeting on Saturday at the 1.0. 0. F. hall which was well attended by farmers from all parts of the county. The meeting was arranged jointly by the Community Club and the Idaho County Farm Bureau for the purpose of discussing mat- ters of interest to all farmers. A. E. Holeomb of Craigmont gave a very interesting talk upon the move which is now well un- der way to secure a reduction in freight rates on grain and grain products from this district to Portland. It is the intention to carry the fight to the Inter-State Commerce Commission for a hearing upon the merits of the case. Arrangements were made at this meeting to bring this matter before the people of Ida- ho county, through the medium of school house meetings in every neighborhood, and a com- mittee was appointed for the purpose of carryng on this fight for reduced freight rates. N. B. Pettibone and Edwin Nelson explained the plans which are under way for holding an annual county fair. It is the intention of the fair trvstees to ask the county commissioners for an approp.iation for fair buildings on condition that the grounds are donated to the county. This fair, we are in- formed, is to be a strictly agri- cultural fair and an educational enterprise which will tend to promote better farming, as well as being a means of affording the people of the county a few days of recreation and amuse- ment after the hard work of harvest is over.
