IMPORTANT MEETING
or the Priests OF the Diocese-Other Interest
ing Catholic News,

ing Catholic News,
The Rev. Administrator Father Casey
has called meeting of the priests of the
Wichita diocese, which will convene next
Tuesday at ST. Aloysius' new hall, on the
corner of Lincoln street and Fourth ave
hue. The meeting is held to consider the
interests of the diocese on many questions
which are of great importance. 1t will be
remembered that at their last meeting 1t
was decided to finish the buildings for the
st. Columbia college and commence school
work this fall Soon after that the Rev.
J. j. Hennesy, of St. Johns church, St.
Louis, was appointed bishop, and
Rev. Administrator Father Casey
has decided it best to discontinue
work on the st. Columbia college and
wait for the new bishop to take charge
as he might have different ideas concerning
the institution. 1t is impossible to tell
when the new bishop will get the official
papers and when it will be possible for him
to take charge of the affairs,
The sisters academy Will open on the
first Monday of September with fifteen
teachers being five more than last year.
The outlook for pupils is quite flattering
and there seems no doubt that at least 100
will be enrolled at the first term. 1t is
thought the Accommodations may not be
sufficient for the applications for attend
ance.
The st. Aloysius parochial schools will
commence on the first Monday of next
month. 1t Will be conducted by five sis
tiers, an increase of three over last year.
1t has been decided to add music depart
ment, which will be quite an accommoda-
ton to many who desire TO take lessons at
such a central point. This department
Will be headed by a highly educated mu-
siciane
The st. Aloysius new hail and school
building is nearing completion. The plas-
terers will in few days have their work
done the building ready for use. The
designs for plastering were made by
Mr. J. A. Smith and heartily approved
by Rev. Father Casey. The building has
a west front of forty. five feet and a south
front on Second of eighty feet, two stories
with tower fifty feet high. On the first
floor are four large class rooms and cloak
rooms The upper floor is occupied 10y the
hail which is forty-two by seventy-six
The piastering OF the hall is one of the dis
tinctiye features, with SINK pannel ceiling
and PANEL beams with pendant drops at
intersection of beams. The hall will be
lighted with five large chandeliers sus-
pended from the ceiling. The windows
are decorated with circular moulding and
plaster heads. The walls and ceiling fin
ished with sand for frescoing and done in
a very artistic manner. The room will be
ready to receive the fresco work in few
days The hall will be one of the incest

REDUCING TAXES.
THE SCHOOL BOARD REDUCES THE
LEVY FROM I 1.2 MILLS
TO 6 81
For All School Purposes for the
Ensuing Year--Change in Gram.
mar Text Books.

The school board met last night in the
city council chamber and transacted some
very important business, although the ses-
sion was quite short. The principal action
taken by them will be hailed with pleasure
by the taxpayers. This was the reduction
of the tax levy for the ensuing year from
~ mills on the dollar for the general fund
to mills and the levy for the sinking
fund from p 10 4 of a mill, making a net
reduction on the total school levy Of q Of
mill, or from ~ to 81. The vote on this
was unanimous.
This is not good news to the taxpayers
for the sole reason that it relieves them of
paying a certain amount Of money, but 1t
gives them assurance that there is
DO disposition upon the part OF
school board to squander the people S
money or collect any more revenue than IS
necessary to run our very efficient school
system. Wichita's schools are as good as
the best and cost comparatively little.
With our constantly and fast increasing
volume of assessable property, oursratio Of
taxation for all purposes will not only not
increase but will continue to decrease.
About the only other important bust
lt>o CidllSGNicti, iiIsbLbNi IIieS
a pretty warm discussion, was changing
the grammar text books from "Raub' S
Grammar" the one now in use, to 'Har-
vey's Grammar" which was accomplished
after little fight.
The new Harvey books win be exchanged
even for copies Of the text book now in use.
After that copies of the Harvey Grammar
will sell at 40 and 90 cents each for the re
spective grades.
There was a full attendance.

WICHITA AND THE HOG.
Her Market VIII Reach Million OF Hogs with
out transfer.

One million and half of hogs six
months old and upwards were returned
last month by the assessors for the state Of
Kansas. Fourteen counties which adioin
Sedgwick, or which are separated by the
width of not more than one county from
Sedgwick report 345, 5l1 of the grand total.
Sedgwick, Butler, Sumner and Cowley
lead all the southwest counties followed
by Mcpherson, Greenwood. Wilson and
Reno counties Nemaha and Republic are
the only counties in the state which lead
Sedgwick, and they lead. her by only few
hundred head each. Mkt to Sedgwick
with her 40, $40 hogs of over six months old
comes Butter with 1886 and then Sum-
ner with 36,603, which counties adjoin
Sedgwick. The state report shows that
owing to low prices and short corn crops
the hog product of the state has fallen off
for the past two yearst, but the report says
that the indications now are for marked
increase. Wichita markets reach, direct
by her railways, and without any trans
fers from one road to another, the counties
which report three-fourths of the entire
hog product of the state

The UNIVERSAL RESULT.
Opinion of Mr. Thos. Briggs, of London, Eng
land, Concerning Wichita.

The oft repeated remark, that no one
ever sees Wichita and gives her a thor
ough investigation, without becoming
convinced that she has the elements which
destine her to become the greatest city OF
the southwest, is being verified time after
time, day in and day out.
Mr.. Thos. Briggs, a very afTable gentle
tleman, just arrived from London, Eng
land, and whose appearance and general
bearing denote his nationality and posi-

visit to this country. and having heard so
much about, Wichita, he came through from
New York without stopping anywhere.
Mir. Briggs is quite warm in his praises of
Wichita and the country surrounding her
