Pri-roriurel.
Only the briefest announcement has been
made In the papers of the death of Sister
Mary Dnnilcn , who died In the Mother House
at Dubuiuo | a few ilajs ago. There are thou-
sandi'of men nnd women In this vicinity who
have more than n parsing Interest In the cn-
notinccment , for during almost a generation
she has had the care and training of wmo of
the brightest youth of Council Bluffs and
Omaha.
Per nearly n epiartcr cf a century she lived
and Ubortd In tills community , a large portion
tion of the time ns sitter superloresD of St
PrnncU' acaJcmy. A few jcurs ago her health
became nffcctel. The management of the
educatlcnal Institution here Involved too much
wcrk for her , but she was devote ! to It and
icluctiint to give It up Those who were
working with her tuw tint her time on earth
was bhort and Piey lovingly pleaded with her
to go to the Mother House for .needed rcot ,
where she could &tlll oxerclto her talcnta
by teac'ilng art to the novitiates and obtain
the nee lei ] rest , in wlilch alone lay hope of
her recovery. Tl.o dUcaso prosrcsi-od In
spite of all that could bo done nnd the sis
ter iasi < od away , working until almost the
last day and conscious up to the last mo
ment.
Sls'cr ' .Mary cime to Council Hlults in the
cjrly part of the 70s nnd took up her work
ns a lay sli'lor ' In St Prancls academy. She
was splendidly fitted by culture and nature
for educational work. She wis a talented
aitlbt nnd for moie than twenty yoirs she
wau the art Instruetieus nt the academy
After fevcral jcnrs ns a lay worker t-hc
Joined the community nnd was soon advanced
to the pot'ltlcn of Euperlorcas. The responsi
bility came at a most critical time In the
history of the Institution. The academy had
been moved from the humble starting point
on Vine street Into the present buildings. The
giounels had been beautified. evcr > thing about
the building was new and bright nnd the
slaters were as proud of their beautiful prop-
crt ) as they were devoted to their work
The overflow cf the Missouri rver In the
great flood of 18S1 surrounded them with
seveial feet of ovvlft. muddy water , dcstrojed
their grounds and filled the lower portions of
the buildings A > ear or two later the great
brick structure was raised Hx feet and the
pre cnt beautiful grcunds created and the
danger cf another Hood forever removed.
Slbter Mary waa not satisfied with the
academy as it existed. She longed to have
a greater institution further away from the
city A tract of land was purchasx-d In the
hills north of town Ileforo her health failed
she had tie project of building well under
way , the plans for a great structure drawn ,
the contiacts rcadj to let and the building
slto selected und grade 1 It lu a most beau
tiful location Eclected by a vvomin of finest
artistic pcrccpticnt' , and If It Is ever built
It will bo one of the most commanding aim
conspicuous ohjectu In the city.
St. Prancls academy Is one of the monuments
ments Sister Mary left behind. There are
others that are not as conspicuous , but they
will endure ns long as the human hearts
Keep warm. In which are consecrated the
memories of the elster's tunny life and torch
ing. The walls of the ncademy today are
aderned with her work , and bcneatb two of
the pictures are hanging the blue and gold
ribbons announcing the award of merit by
the art commissioners nt the World'a fair.
Three of her pictures , a St. Ceccllan nnd n
chlld'D head In oil and n lamlocapo In water
color , drew much attention nt the Columbian
exposition nnd won medals. They occupy now
conspicuous pla"co In the art studio at St.
Krancls. There are liundreda of i eoplo In
Council muffs and Omalu who cherish the
memory of the sweet-faced sister with a love
that is nkln to reverence.

JEFFERSON , In. , Dec. 5 ( Special ) The
day of the auction block la past , but under
certain circumstances human lle-sh and
blood are still bartered nnd sold In Iowa. A
few > ear.i ago John Cay wood moved to
Scranton , this county. He was a bard workIng -
Ing man , ampb provided for his fnmllj and
boio a good name In the community Two
> eaiu ago ho died , leaving a wife , two amall
children and two grown sons and a daughter
The sens arc Industrious young men. giol
cltl7cns , and respected by their neighbors ,
but recently the mother and daughter hive
acquired a bad name. Matters i cached n
climax , last weelc , when a Jefferson man , a
pcison of shady reputation , who had fro-
quilted the hoaio of Mrs Cajwood , waa ai-
leuted and jailed. Then It became so hot
for the mother and daughter that they con
cluded the best thing for them to do was to
Ret out ot town , t nut how ? They had no
money , and were avere to working to eai"i
any Finally overtures were made to the
city authorities , with a view to selling the
two small children for cash enough to get
them out of the city. After some tlmo n
bargain waa struck , by the terms of which
'Mrs Caywood agreed to dispose of her off-
spilng for the sum of $5. The trancactlon
was made in a bln-llng manner , a lawjcr
drawing up the papers , which were duly
signer ! nnd ncknowlodged. The town of
Scranlon paid ibe money , n.nd then the
women of the city nrianccd for a "sowing
bee , " at which clothes were made that would
enable the little waifs to make a presentable
appearance , and then they were sent to the
Orphans' Homo In Council muffs. Here they
w 111 be mire of a good homo until cmch
tlmo as they may ho legally adopted Into
some worthy family. Mrs Caj wood evidenced
no more maternal feeling In putting her
bablco away from her forever than ehfc would
had the chattels been domestic animals In
stead of her own flesh nnd blood. She.
with her daughter , left town on the first
train after the $5 was paid over
