New Catholic Church :

We are indebted to chance for much OF

north the credit was to belong for clearing

dations with the airy creations OF their re-
ligious enthusiasm. To this chance we owe
many II not most OF those beautiful re-
ligious monuments that have grown to be
recognized as the architecture Of the church
With massive base and pedestal they put
forth leaves, bud and blossom Just as
plants do.
As the early Christians borrowed the
plans for their churches from the earlier
Roman Basilicas, the architect OF St Ce-
celia's new church soon to be built in our
city has endeavored to make use OF what
has gone before. keeping the lower portions
OF the structure as heavy as possible and
going to the other extreme in It's crowning
motives
The plan, as may be seen from the above
prospectus, is that OF a typical basilica, with
long central nave lighted by pointed clere-
story windows, hanked on either side BY
heavy round arched side aisles and closed
by three large circular apses at the eastern
end. where subtly-tinted altar windows will
fill the whole sanctuary with that soft iri-
descent glow that In the great cathedrals
seems to radate from the high altar itself

capacity of wagonmaster with Custer.
After few years spent in the west he
returned to Iowa. II Is subsequent to this

ment Iowa National Guard June Is, 1878
He rose rapidly to the rank of corporal and
quartcrmastcr sergeant of Company G the
same year. July s, 1883, he was appointed
captain and quartermaster OF the First

and do things military resulted in his
successive promotions to the positions of
major and inspector of small arms, August
22, 1892, and assistant inspector general
November 10, 1898. At the opening of the
Spanish war he volunteered. He was mus

ffty-hrst Iowa volunteers During his
service in the Philippines he was made
brigade Quartermaster OF the First division
~ the Eighth army corps and so served
under General Funston for short time,
when he was returned to his regiment from
which he was mustered out in August, 1899.
Ills mastering into the new army organiza-
ton followed Immediately after. His com
mission made him senior captain OF the
regiment, Troop Il, Eleventh cavalry Just
before leaving the Fifty-frst Iowa the en-
listed men OF the regiment presented him

out the army. While member Of the regi-
ment he participated in the following
battles; San Rogue, February 3. 1899;

One Of the celebrated cases in the his
tory OF Nebraska was recalled by the recent
reunion Of John NJ Thayer and James f.
Boyd while guests Of Governor Dietrich at
Lincoln. The feud between these two men
both OF whom had sat as governor of Ne
braska, grew out OF the contest begun By
Governor Thayer in 1891, after Governor
Boyd had been naugurated. Boyd's citi-
zenship was called In question and the su-
preme court Of Nebraska decided that he
was not citizen OF the United States. and
consequently Ineligible to the onlce of
governor. The case was appealed to the
supreme court Of the United States and
was there decided the other way, the high
est tribunal in the land holding that James
e. Boyd became citizen by virtue Of his
residence In Nebraska at the time the state
was admitted to the union
Tho rancor engendered by that famous
contest has died out. and these two emf
nent citizens OF the state not only shook
hands when they met with the other men
who had been honored by their fellow citi-
zcns with calls 20 the ghbernatoridl seat

When the amateur golf champlonsh p
was played at Wheaton In 1897 there
was but one Chicago newspaper man
who had the remotest conception OF
what the game was. Accordingly, the
newspapers, with the exception Of the
Chicago Tribune, agreed to syndicate
the work and put 1t all In this one
mans hands. The Tribune refused to
enter the combination and depended
upon the exertions Of member of its
own staff But the Tribune reporter
speedily realized his helplessness and
appealed TO his brother of the syndicate
for aid. The latter obligingIy handed
over his copy. and the Tribune man set
to work to make few minor changes
so that It's kinshIp to the original should
not be too apparent Later in the
evening he met his generous bene-
factor and told him of the changes he
had made.
