THE CHAMPION CHURCH BUILDER.

Rev. John Begiey, the parish p.iest of
the largest parish of any denomination in
Kansas, was in the city yesterday and his
presence Was like ray of sunshine TO his
many friends here. Father John is
stationed at Pratt but attends to the
spiritual welfare Of all the Catholics in the
western counties az far as the Colorado
state line, including Stevens Father
John is quite a boomer and whenever he
comes up to Wichita he always feels it his
duty TO sing the praises of his parish, not
from religious stand point, but from a
worldly stand point. He can stand before
a man face to face and without sign OF
blush persuade him that western Kansas,
in IT'S general features, is several notches
above the Garden OF Eden. In his rides
over the country he has an excellent OPP
portunity of aseertaining the condition of
the western counties which be says is very
good. He has been thirty-seven years in
Kansas and il is said that be has built
more churches than any one man in the
state. Indeed it is given out from an
authoritative source that he has built on an
an average one church for every year be
has been wearing the clerical cloth.

ScOtland's Plague of Mice, and Its Con-
sideration at a Public Meeting.

Scotland's Plague of Mice, and Its Con-
sideration at a Public Meeting.
In May last a meeting of farmers was
held in Edinburgh to consider what
means should be taken in connection
with the plague of mice, or 'voles,"
which at present extends over the
southern counties of Scotland There
was a demand for the re-introduction
of owls, to the determination of which,
as well as of other birds and animals
which prey upon mice, the plague is at
tributed.
The chairman gave an account of an
owl, not before known in Scotland,
which had been introduced, and which
was said to be very fatal to mice; and
he made plea for the preservation of
the owls which already exist.
What may be the result of DESTROYING
natures equilibrium by DISCRIMINATING
owls, snakes and other useful creatures
of God which prey upon vermin is well
illustrated by the condition of southern
Scotland, as revealed in the addresses
and reports at this Edinburgh meeting.
One gentleman said he had gone with a
government official who had looked
into the matter in Roxburgh Dumfries
and kirkcudbright. They went over
hundreds of acres where not vestige
of vegetation was to be seen. The
mice had taken everything
Another gentleman said that in the
high districts about Hawicll every
farmer had had all his spare hands en-
gagged in killing mice for long time.
but the mice increased so rapidly that
no impression was made upon them.
The meeting passed a resolution call
ing for a government commission to in.
ve.tigate the matter thoroughly, and
See if some remedy could not be pro
vided. In the meantime farmers were
urged to encourage the preservation
and propagation of all birds and ami
mails which prey upon mice.-Youtk'1
Companion.
