ST. JOSEpH'S MISSION.

New School for Coiored Children to be
Established at Eleventh and Walnut.
The, fourth anniversary Of the death of
Father De Ruyter was observed Tues.
day at st. Jospeh's Coloted Church by
a requiem mass. Contractor IIealy Is
busy making alterations at Eleventh
and Walnut streets for day school for
colored children. Tho boys Of st,
Joseph's home have had regular school
terms at the institution, but so far 20
adequate provision could be made for
the children of the congregation. This
want will now be supplied. The school
will be open also to other children who
need special care and training such MS
cannot easily be given with large num-
bers OF children.
In response to numerous requests for
boys, Father Welbers is now making
arrangements to secure positions for
boys whose term at the home will soon
expire. Some will be placed on farms
and others will find different kinds Of
work in the city. In this way, it is
hoped, the boys will more eifectually
learn to support themselves. The boys
thus placed out will remain under the
control of the institution.

MONEY IN EVIDENCE.
Report Tint Negroes Received Grecnbncks
in the siSty-seuond Registration District
an Eafuraay

Report That Negroes Received Grecnbncks
in the siSty-seuond Registration District
on saturday.
resident of the Sixty.seoond Reg
istration district, bounded by Rodney
strC ct, Woodlawn ay0nue Rockford
road, Ninth street and Delaware ave-
nue., reports That story is in oircula-
tion there to the effect that on Satur-
day afternoon, while the registration
was in progress, money was paid to some
negroes in the vicinity of the registra.
tion place. which was at No. liz Penn
sylvania avenue.
According 10 the story, white man.
whose name the reporters informant
did not know, cnrralled number OF
negroes, and, placing himself in the
centre OF the group. 30 as not to excite
suspicion, distributed greonbac9s from
roll which no held In his hand
Anetfort was made to get definite in
formation, but without success. A man
living near where the distribution of
money is said to have taken place said
the man who was handing out the
money might have been paying people
who were in his employ, as carriers,
| contractors and others sometimes pay
theii men on Saturdays on the streets
and the fact that in the instance re.
ferred TO tho negroes were paid near a
registration place might have had no
| Significance.
Another resident of the district said
the transaction looked very suspicious
and he believed then and still belies O.
that the man who had the money was O
ward worker and was giving the
negroes money 10 order that they might
become registered and vote at the
PRIMARY and general elections. Should
this citizens suspicious prove true and
IL the name of the man who paid oui
tho money could be learned, an example
should be made of him, as the Consti
tuition of the State strictly forbids sucf
a practice and imposes heavy penalty
for violations.
4 AS a matter of fact, there we've onl,
nine negroes registered In the distric
on Saturday. During the two pieced
ing days seven qualified, making tota
of l6 who registered in the district il
time to vote at the primaries.

Shehoyean, Wis, Aug 2l.--A re-
count of the buildings wrecked here in
the tornado yesterday shows that the

buildings were destroyed, and the
monetary losses foot up about 300, 600.

Of the wrecked buildings were frame
affairs OF small worth.

the storm originated at Marinette, and
followed the line Of the Chicago d
Northwestern railway south TO Oshi-
kosh. There, it veered to the eastward,
and scent its fury on Lake Michigan.
While 1t did considerable damage oil
along its track, it was most severe here:
The width of the storm was about MALT

earth, only touching at wide Intervals.
