TnE advertisement for plans for new
Catholic church calls attention to the re-
markable growth of catholicism in Omaha
and throughout the state, Few cities of
tho size boasts of SO many handsome and
substantial church buildings occupied by
Roman Catholic worshippers and few
states in the far west of SO many charges
and faithful missionaries. This result is
due in largo degree to tho generous and
steady stream of contributions from tho
church membership, to faithful steward
ship on the part of the trustees and TO the
wise and far.sightod guardianship of the
Bishop of Omaha. Bishop oConnor
combines the rare qualifications of fine
business ability and the learning of tho
cIoisters. He is quite as much at home

titles and audited accounts of parishes AS

S. He is rich, and is what they call q
"backer" in police vernacular-that is, he
advances money to burglars and thieves
who need to do a job that requires fine
tools or one in which bank clerk is to be
bribed. He backs gambling games and
lottery offices, and all that sort of thing as
well. Ostensibly he is retired capitalist.
He says he made his money in sugar in
Louisiana before the war; 4 81 a'Tf
He has for family q beautiful, lady y-like
woman, whom he calls his wife, and two
lovely little girls, to whom he speaks only
German in the morning, only French in
6-o'clock dinner and bedtime They are
good little children and say their prayers
at his knees whenever he is at home to
hear them Now this old man is
a great adjunct of the machieney
of Justice. He deals with the prin-
cipal thieves, burglars, forgers, coun-
terfeiters, and knaves of all kinds
constantly. Suppose one of them does not
deal fairly with him-cheats him, quarrels
with him, blabs about him, takes to
drinking, and becomes leese-tongued, or
does anything that makes the old gentle
man angry or uneasy. Well, what then?
