THE LATE FATHER KREUSCH.
Career of the Well Known Clergyman who
Died "wednesday.

Dleu Meuhehuuys
The death Of Rev. Father John Peter
Kreusch, formerly in charge of st.
Alphonsus German Catholic Church
here, but latterly living in retirement
on the hill east Of the city, engaged in
grape culture, was announced in yester-
DAVIS ISTELLIGENCER. Rev. Father
Kreusch was born in Rhenish Prussia,
at Longuich, Trier township, December
9, 1918, and was over go years old when
he died. His parents, very respectable
people, died while he was very young,
and thrown upon his own resources the
boy had sometimes hard work TO get
along. Even at that time he desired TO
become priest. When he was ad-
mitted to college he labored hard, and
acquired a fine education. In 1912
he came to this country and
procured a position as scholastic
with Bishop Rappe, Of Cleye-
land, Ohio. he succeeded by good be-
havior and study in becoming ordained
November IS, lS4S, at the Cathedral OF
Cleveland. In the first year OF his
priesthood he worked as missionary and
gained 80 the love and esteem OF his
bishop. He had to bear many harlships
while travelling long distances to visit
the sick and very often he narrated how
he had to cross creeks and streams on
horseback, getting wet and catching
cold. He built many churches and gem
orally constructed the altar himself.
In 1858 Bishop Whelan transferred to
him the rectorship OF the newly built
St. Alphonsus Church. There were
nothing but the walls OF the church
and plenty OF debts when he took
charge. He worked there for twenty
five years with the greatest success until
he resigned January l, 1888, retiring to
his vineyard on Wheeling Hill.
What Rev. Father Kreusch has done
for the st. Alphonsus is known to every
one, and church and school house are
his best monuments. He lived after his
retirement very quietly at his vineyard,
but suffered great pain. He at last died
after partaking OF the holy communion,
in peace.
His corpse will be brought down to
the st. Alphonsus Church this after
noon, from where he will be buried
Saturday morning ut 0 o'clock, solemn
requiem mass being said at that hour.

The cadet prize drill, which several
gentlemen OF this city were endeavoring
to arrange 10 have held in this city May
80 and 81, has been declared of. This
was done not because OF lack Of en-
couragement on the part OF citizens, but
for the reason that the various cadet
corps, which II was supposed would be
eager to participate in such drill, held
back and did not show any evidence OF
accepting the invitations sent out. The

learning were invited to attend and

A correspondent who sends report
OF the Lyceum sums up its results rs
follows:
"To sum up, the instruction and enter
tainment far surpassed the results OBJ
tanned from many more costly and pre-
tentious literary spread in some OF our
larger cities. 10 those who are readers
and well posted in history, the occasion
was one OF delightful reviving OF memo
ries; to those less informed, the lecture
was highly suggestive, stimulating to in
vestigation and thought. Many n vol
ume will be studied as n result. We
have enjoyed each Lyceum thus far (;
look forward to the remaining ones with
increasing delight"

Reports come from Columbus, O., that
fire brick pavements laid there only n
year ago, are already beginning to wear
out. The trouble is, the brick used there
were made in the Hooking Valley, and
were not good paving brick. But the
brick made in the Ohio Valley are pecu-
liarly adapted for that purpose. Wheel
ing has streets paved nearly six years ago
with the Ohio Valley brick, that have
been subjected to heavy wear, and are
apparently us goodas ever. If Columbus
will try the Ohio Valley brick, she will
have no cause for complaint. Wheel
ing's experience in this line is valuable
to her neighbOrs.

MR.. FREw TUE COMING MAN.
Editor Nes Litter;
l notice your observation on the COM
pliment OF the Democratic convention
in honoring Mr.. fancy by sending him
to the st. Louis convention, and suggest
ing that the Republican convention at
Littleton should seud Mr.. John Frew,
Of the INTELLIGENcER, to the Chicago
convention. Now, this is just what the
Republicans OF this district are going to
do. Mr.. Frew may not know OF it, but
there is very favorable feeling towards
him in that direction. He has been
long in the harness, doing much party
work, without receiving or expecting
office, and this recognition of his mod
esty will be only too cheerfully extend
ed at the I4ittleton convention. Iwritc
this without Mr.. Frew's knowledge, and
not knowing whether he is making any
effort or not, but judging from what l
have heard expressed by the Republic
cans of several counties OF the district.
Respectfully, II. S. WHITE.
