THE HEMUCH-TRAVELED FRESHMAN

'Tis twelve months since came to America
The fortune of me Uncle to enjoy.
Bless his name! Shure he left me the whole az ii
And in his will he said, "Now Pat, me boy,
Yes ought to spind solid year in thravelint
The great soights av this country for to see."
And sure me uncle didn't need to urge me much
For thravelin is trick that just suits me.
So I've thraveled over all this moighty nation
From north to south and from the east to west;
I've thraveled both on land and on the wather,
But sure the railroad thravelin suits me best.
And of all the foine railroads in America,
Aid meself shure has thraveled on them al,
The one that heads the list for solid comfort
Is the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul
Both for attn and for dhrinkin and for shIapin
Their equipment is most costly and cOmp1ate.
There is sphIendor enough for old King Solomon
And dainties for his thousand wives to ate
Q! I've thraveled all up and down America,
The railroads and the shteamboats tried them al
But nothing can compare in solid comfort,
Wild the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul.

friends and acquaintances for the last
five years, that l consider Chamberlain s
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhna Remedy
the best medicine for the purposes it is
intended that l ever tried Since I
have used it I would not be without It.
l was always subject to cholera morbus
and never found anything else that
gives the relief that this remedy does.
| never leave home without taking il
with me; and on many occasions have
ran with it to the relief of some sufferer
and have never known it to fail. Ny
children always call for ''that good
medicine" when they have a pain in
the stomach or bowels. For sale by w

BULLETIN No. 49,

BULLETIN No. 15:-
The Weather conditions during the
past week were generally favorable to
small grains. The temperature was,
however, too low for corn; the growth
having been retarded to a certain ex-
tent.
Haying Is progressing in nearly all
sections. and is nearing completion in
some portions of the state; and the
yield is short but quality of hay good.
The rains of the week retarded cutting
but slightly.
Harvesting of winter wheat and rye
is progressing in the southern counties,
and from present indications the yield
will be nearly an average in this section
further north, in the interior and east
central counties, the yield will be
lighter.
Potatoes show steady Improvement
and the crop will be large. Potato bugs
are plenty but no serious damage is re-
ported from any quarter.
Light frosts occurred in lowlands in
the interior of the state, and in the
northeastern counties on the 7th and
Sth. In extreme northeast Wisconsin
the fr0sts were heavy. The damage in
flicted was slight and confined to tender
vegetation.
The weather was too cold for cram
berries, the temperature of the vines
having fallen to nearly the freezing
point on several nights, causing light
setting of berries. The blossoms are
plenty but it is feared that the setting
will be lighter than anticipated. The
gradual rise in temperature during the
latter part of the week was favorable,
since sudden rise would have blighted
the ''setts" when just formed.

ARCHB|SHOP'S RECEPTION,
Tile People turn out in Large num-
6erS TO greet linn.

A large concourse of Catholic and
other citizens, made up of the local
band, Catholic Knights, citizens
in carriages and on foot, met
Archbishop Katzer at the evening train
off the Green Bay railroad at eight
o'clock Wednesday July sth. The
Archbishop attended by eleven Priests
proceeded in carriages to the residence
of Father Beyerle followed by the
parade made up as above mentioned.
At the house Mr.. J. A. Gaynor, presi
dent of the Catholic Knights, made the
address of welcome. His emarks were
appropriate to the occasion and well
received. The Archbishop replied in
most cordial manner and assured the
people that he appreciated fully the
hearty welcome extended him.
On the following day High mass was
celebrated by Victor General Kersten,
of Green Bay, assisted by other Priests,
after which the Archbishop administer
ed sacrement of confirmation upon a
class of 118. The Archbishop delivered
two addresses which were highly
spoken of by those who heard him.
The following priests were in attend
ance on this occasion: Reverands
Father Richards, of Wausau; O'Brien,
of Stevens Point; Schwartzmeyer, of
Custer; Van Hutegan, Of Duck Creek;
Geissler, of Two Rivers; Clifford, Of
Stevens Points Kersten, of Green Bay;
and others whose names we failed to
get.
For those who did not see the Arch
bishop we append an excellent pen
portrait of him taken from the Evening
Wisconsin, as follows:
"Those who know the Archbishop
only by the political speeches he has
made, and have been conjuring up in
their minds eye picture of him to fit
those speeches, will be greatly disap-
pointed when they see him face to face.
Instead of a big, clustering politician,
which they might expect to see, they
will meet very corteous, affable, little
gentleman, with pleasant face and win
ming smile, who will impress them most
agreeably. The Archbishop is below
the medium height, neither short nor
slender, but well built, and rather good
looking. He is entirely free from affec-
tation or ostentation, and his manners
are very simple and straightforward.
His countenance is frank and open, and
when he talks his keen eyes twinkle and
his whole face seems to speak his
thoughts. There is no stiff dignity about
him and he is not at all reserved in his
speech. He speaks good English and
answers questions freely"

After considerable delay in the erec-
zion of the new M. e. Church, which

Sunday the 18th day of July, 1891. Rev.
c. W. Gallagher, President of Lawrence
University at Appleton, and Rev. c..
Smith, of Plover, assisted Rev. Churm

who had never been within its walls
during its erection were greatly sur
prised to see so modern, beautifully
furnished and finished structure.

A Collection was taken which resulted
in raising $3.50, which leaves the society
wholly out of deot
The building was let by contract to
Mr.. w. A. Keyes who enjoys all the
honors for the workmanship on the
structure. Mr.. Ed. Smedley had the
contract of painting the building inside
and out, and the work speaks for itself.
Mr.. Edward Davis did the stone work
on the basement and Messrs. Jones u
Nash furnished the furnace, one of
Boynton's manufacture. The building
as it stands, furnished and all, cost the
society $3.50.
The pulpit furniture is elegant. The
pulpit, railing and chairs are oak and
highly polished. The carpet, chairs
and seats were manufactured by the
Manitowoc Furniture Co., and are the
latest in style and finish. The seats
were nicely placed and fastened by W.
c. Baldwin of Centralia.
While this church edifce is not large,
it is one of the prettiest, both for style
and convenience, that you often find in
city of this size. The people who
worship God in this sanctuary will have
no reason to complain of the comfort
they can have in doing so in this new
edifice.
