OF Interest to Preachers.

Ticket agents of the various railroads
in Milwaukee received notice Monday
of change in the method of issuing
annual permits to preachers emitting
the holders to half-fare rates. Hereto
fore annual permits have entitled those
holding them to half fare wherever
presented on the lines of the company.
The annual permits hereafter will only
be good in the state in which they are
issued, and will not be honored beyond
state lines. All companies will, how
ever, issue interstate trip permits to
preachers when desiring to 60 into
other states, which will be good for the
trip for which they are granted. Trip
permits will be issued only from the
principal Offices Those ministers
throughout the state, when wanting
trip permit, will apply to their local
ticket agent, who will obtain them from
the general ticket agent of the road
which he represents. The change in
the system extends to all roads in the
Western Passenger association.

Katzer Archbishop.

A dispatch from Rome, dated Deem
Der 22d, announces that at the coming
consistory, Bishop Katzer, of Green
Bay, will be appointed archbishop OF
the diocese of Milwaukee, Bishop Scan
mel will be appointed archbishop OF
of Omaha, and Bishop Scanlon arch
bishop of Salt Lake. Bishop Katzer's
elevation is great surprise to Catholic
circles. Among those whom it was ex-
pected would receive the promotion,
was Rev. Father Cleary, Of Kenosha,
who has been often heard shere in the
temps lnce cause. The following is a
sketch of tt new archbishop:
"Bishop Katzer was born on Febru-
ary 6, 1914, at Ebenze, near Gmunden,
Upper Austria. Atan early age he dis
played desire for learning and wish
to become priest. At IA years of age
he entered a Jesuit college at Frien-
berg, Austria He was there four years.
In 1868 he came to the United States
and was accepted as student in the
diocese of ST. Paul, but the quota was
full and he could not then be received.
He entered St. Francis seminary, in
Milwaukee, and there completed the
course. He was too young when he
graduated, and, having the required
scholarship for holy orders to be or
dained priest, was assigned as deacon
to professorship in the seminary. He
was ordained priest by Archbishop
Henri on Christmas day, 1866. He oc-
cupied the chair of mathematics, after
wards that of philosophy, and finally
dogmatic theology. He was professor
nine years. In 1875, when the late
Bishop Krautbauer was ordained for
the diocese of Green Bay he selected
the Rev. Father Katzer as his secre-
tary and pastor of the Cathedral. He
went there on June 80, 1875. On the
death of Vicar General Daems in 1878
he was made the latter's successor.
Bishop Krautbauer died December
IL, 1885, when Archbishop Heiss APP
pointed Katzer administrator of the
diocese. He was appointed bishop
May 20, 1886, and was ordained in the
Cathedral on the feast of St. Matthew,
September 81, 1886. He is man OF
much learning, with great executive
ability and organizing power.

Theft of a Horse and Buggy.

Wednesday forenoon last Alanson
Boomers horse and buggy were stolen
while hitched in front of Raue's store
ON Main street. Marshal Kerr being
notified, he at once telephoned to diff
ferent points describing the property
Word was soon received from Fort At
kinson, that horse and carriage an
swering the description given had been
offered for sale there alta very lowsfgure,
and the person in charge of the proper
ty was taken to the lookup On suspicion
of having stolen them Marshal Kerr
went down to Fort Atkinson and iden-
tilted the horse and carriage as belong
ing to Mr.. Boomer The young man
who offered them for sale, was recog-
nized as one Patrick Dunn, of Chicago,
who has habit of hanging around here
three or four times a year. He was
brought before Justice Stacy Thursday
morning for examination In default
of $500 bail he was committed to Jeffer-
son jail to await trial in the circuit
court on the charge of horse stealing.
Dunn admitted the theft and said that
he drove by Mr.. Boomers house and
kept the River road to Jefferson, arriv-
ing at Fort Atkinson between three
and four o'clock in the afternoon.
Dunn tried to sell the horse and car
riage to the marsha vt Fort Atkinson,
offering the entire outfit for SIS, finally
being willing to take SIS down and the
balance in week. About this time
the marshal concluded to take Dunn in
charge. Dunn, it will be seen from his
manner of proceeding, is not very
sharp thief, and it is questionable if the
insane asylum instead of Waupun is
not the proper place for him. He is
we'll connected and if he had followed
fathers advice he would not be where
he is. His family were former resi-
dents of the town of Emmett. Dunn is

Regular meeting of the Board of

The Board was informed by Com
Rack that the Cleveland Electrical
Manufacturing company offer to equip
the city with their system of American
Watchman's Time Detector of four sta
tons, combined with standard case of
walnut and furnish Hood key buttons
for stations for the sum of 500. After
some discussion on the subject the mat
ter was referred to the committee on

d. Hall and q. w. Bird submitted
their annual report as to the city's
bond litigation.
The report among other things, sets
forth that seven of the eight suits taken
by the bond-holders to the supreme
court of the United States have been
finally disposed of by that court in
favor of the city and thereby extin-
gushing three-fourths of the city S rail
road debt, or more than one million
and one hundred thousand dollars of
it. Strong hopes are entertained of
extinguishing the whole balance of the
city debt as soon as the Metcalf case
now pending can be reached in it's or
der on the calendar for argument. 1t
is expected that the supreme court will
decide the said Metcalf case in about
two years, and it will soon thereafter
be finally disposed of.
The report with the account of ST. 900
each, to D. Hall and Geo. W. Bird, to
apply on services in the city's bond
litigation, were referred to the COM
mittee on finance.

Now that the campaign is over we
feel like the good Methodist circuit
rider who was placed in the same
room with a profound and accom-
plished snorer. The preacher was
a nervous sort of man and was
easily annoyed. His snoring friend
dropped off to sleep in a few minutes
as all snorers do. 1t is a fact that
a snorer always gets to sleep before
his companions. This particular one
tried every kind of snoring. He
began low and gently and then pulled
out n stop after another, until the
sound resembled a steam piano with
a planning mill accompaniment. AS
the noise increased the preacher
became restless. He rolled over and
groaned and grunted and writhed in
agony. The snoring continued. It
would run up and down and 90 with
a jerk over rough places. At last a
succession of snorts came which
were followed by profound silence.
The preacher then gave a deep sigh
of relief and devoutly said "Thank
God, he's dead at last"

Texas One. Tenth OF the Country.

A great many people want to know
how large Texas is in area. They
look in quite a number of alleged
statistical abstracts. and never find
the same figures in two of them.
The official figures of Texas area
are 252,696 square miles-equal to
about 80 per cent. of the entire
of the United States and Ter
ritories. Texas is six times larger
than New York, seven times as
large as Ohio, and 100000 square
miles larger than all the Eastern and
Middle States, including Delaware
and Maryland. Compared with the
countries of Europe she has $4,000
square miles more than the Austrian
Empire, $4,000 more than the Ger
man Empire, and nearly 10000
square miles more than France.
