Leaves Alliance After Years of
Splendid Work
With deep regret tho many friends
of Mother Agatha will learn ot her
departure from All'vicr for the east
Ahi.lt occurred last night. For a-
bout four years she was Mother Su
perior of St Akhch Academy, where
she Md excellent work. The growth
and success of that Institution waa
due very largely to her efforts. Hav
ing done so much to place St. Aftnes
Academy on a successful basis her

ed and her services being needed at
St. Joseph's Hospital she wtas trans
ferred 'of that Institution about the
first of last October, where she
served as Mother Superior until re

fer to another position in the east.
Mother Agatha has literally a host
of friends in Alliance and northwest
ern Nenraska who will greatly re
gret to see her leave this city. She
was an earnest worker and possess
es executive ability which, coupled
with her hard work, has given her
a wonderful degree of success. She
will be greatly missed, especially by
those in connection with the 8t. Ag
nes Academy and St.- Joseph Hospital.

o In a manner that would make o
o our ninety million sit and stare; o
o They would can all otfkv lold- o

o They would make a constitu- o

o From the man wfio'e short and o

o They would see that Philadel- o

o They would let the women o
