BURNING OF THE MORTGAGE.

BURNING OF THE MORTGAGE.
Rev James O'Donnell was appointed
rector Of St Johns in May, 1892, succeed
ing Rev j. w. Lancaster, then deceased.
In this time he has witnessed the renova-
ton of the church, both exterior and in
terror, the removal of fences, and the
improvement of the extensive lawns, the
supplying the church and rectory with
modern heating apparatus, and the re-
modelling and refurnishing Of the rectory,
which includes electric lighting. A
debt of $4,000, which existed when he
came, the cost of all improvements, and
all current expenses, have been paid, and
to-day the property is free from all
incumbrance. This fact was signalized
February z, in the presence OF an over
flowing congregation, to whom no
instruction had been given of any demon
str4tiol having been planned in honor Of
the accomplishment. After the mass had
been concluded Father O'Donneu con-
graduated the people upon their hearty
cooperation and zeal, and for their many
good works during his pastOrate, and
invited the church officials to present
themselves at the railing and as they did
so he met them with silver salver on
which were the Cancelled mortgage and
notes, the remnant of their Indebtedness.
de lighted a taper from the sanctuary
lamp and with it set fire to the papers on
the salver, which was repeated in turn
by each official. The interest of the
congregation was intensified by silence
which could be felt as all saw the fame,
which consumed the last evidence Of
Indebtedness. Father O'Donnell then
read the annual report for 1897, which
showed that the ordinary revenue for the
| ear was 81 ,4l6 88, and the extraordlns-
ry revenue was 81, 900 Sc, made up by an
annual collection, festivals an other
means, being a total of $3,27s IS. Con-
sidering that the parish numbers only
455 souls of all ages and dispositions, he
congratulated them on their activity and
helpfulness, and gave due credit to those
not of the parish who had been such
gene rous friends. The need of q new
church to be built of brick and to accom-
modate the increasing congregations
was placed before them as the next OBJ
iect of their energy and generosity,to b.
commenced within a few years. Ii
Thanksgiving to Almighty God for thu
prosperity of the parish and to commem
crate their freedom tr m debt, he pro
ceeded to give the Benediction of tn
Most Blessed Sacrament. As the coz
aregation passed out of the church thei
cheerful countenances wore an expires
sion of satisfaction and gladress.-fWa

BILLS ARE D|SALLOWEO
County Commissioners Take a
Hand in the Business.
ACCOUNTS TURNED DOWN
The Auditor Lets an 1895 Tax Receipt
Get by Him-The Board Nailed 1t.
Peter Breen Discusses the
Question of Fusion.

The county commissioners yesterday
took a hand at disallowing some bills, a
privilege which in the past had been al.
most exclusively exercised by Auditor
Davies. Among the monthly quantity
of bills passed on by the auditor and
O. KID by him was one Of County Sur
veyor T. +. Baker for $40. one of Olaf
Holmberg for 81 and one of the Butte
Hardware company for $3.50. The COM
missioners found that the $40 bill Of
MIR. Baker had been allowed and paid
once before, though the auditor allowed
both Of them. The 81 bill Of Holmberg
was for road tax which he said had been
held out of his al by his employer.
He claimed to have paid the tax before,
and to ~substantiate his claim he pro-
duced "A poll tax receipt showing that
he had paid 81 to the assessor. Upon
that showing the auditor allowed his
bill for the rebate and sent IL to the
commissioners for their approval. They
examined the poll tax receipt and dis
covered that IL bore date of April s,
1896, instead of being for this year. The
bill of the Butte Hardware company
was for some material furnished the
Austin Western Manufacturing company
on an order from Surveyor Baker. The
material was used In connection with
the trial operation of the new road ma
chinery recently purchased by the
county. The machinery was to be ope-
rated by the company to the satisfac-
ton of the commissioners and without
expense to the county. For that rea-
son the bill was disallowed.
Assessor George NJ. Allan secured per-
mission from the commissioners to leave
the county for several weeks. He is
about to take a trip through the Ma
tional park.
Peter Breen, the well-known populist
politician, called on the commissioners
and discussed the political situation
with the two populist members of the
board. The fusion question and the po-
litical ground generally was pretty well
covered, but they arrived at no conclu-
sion as to what they or the party viii
do about IL.
The Mat Brown who applied for the
appointment of public administrator IS
not Matt II. Brown, the Centerville
clerk. The commissioner AVE not yet
made an appointment for the place.
