Married Men Fined So for Staying Out
ate at Niuht.

At UelZen, n city in the western part
of Hanover, the authorities have lust
passed n law which has met with the
warm appreciation of the ONE of the
place and the indignant protests of the
married men. The town was getting
altogether too cOnvlvial. The old time
honored excuses of the lodge and
business" and sitting up with a sick
FRIEND We're worn t~hreadbare. The
women resolved to act. They exercised
all their influence with the city fathers
and finally got Il law passed requiring
that all married men be home at or be-
fore IL o'clock every night. The pen
atty for a violation of this law is fixed
at a fine Of So for each ~offcnse. Half
of the fine goes to the person making
complaint, who, in all cases so far, has
been the wife.
BY means of this law the homes of
uelzen are expected to be in an ideal
condition before long, and the wife's
authority therein unquestIoned. If
hubby" forgets himself and stays out
after IL O'Clock some night the wife
can either have him fined and get her
share of the proceeds, or she can do
what Is better-she can hold the knowl-
edge of his l~aw-breaking over his head
as Il club with which 10 enforce ODE
dience and good behavior generally.
TO say, the married men of
the neighboring German towns are
much exercised owe the action of the
city authorities of Uelzen, for the law
Is working so well there that they are
AFRAID II Will prove contagious and
spread to their own boroughs. The un-
married mel of Uelzen, of course, are
as much pleased with the law as the
women of the town. They can now
stay out at night and enjoy themselves
free from the incubus of the old
fogies.

closed Tuesday. Within the last six OF
eight weeks the men and women who
organize and build UP the different or
derS of the Observation-Disclosures charac-
ter, especially have found it necessary
to simply suspend their labors until the
end of the excitement in political circles
Throughout Shawnee county there have
been almost daily or nightly rallies, and
the sweep of the lodges of the character
just named is SO great that it is difficult
to find in any of the g%%ater political
parties of Kansas anywhere near total
absence of the men who are most vital
ly interested in lodge affairs. For in
stance, one order in To3eka had pre-
pared for a special meeting last Satur-
day night a which large number or
candidates were to have been initiated
and officers elected. But when the time
came it was found that the more prom
inent ones in the organization were in
terested in the county and state politics
and asked that the meeting be post
pOned- The leading officers of this same
lodge have been in ToDeka for some
weeks looking after such matters as
might keep them busy in clearing up tins
situation until the election had passed.
Now they are ready to roll up THEN
sleeves and go in for the business which
they believe belongs to them.
There is everything to encourage the
friends of these lodges throughout the
west right now, too. 1t has been a year
of plenty in this part of the country, and
it has enabled almost everyone to have
a little spare money to pay the initiation
fees and to lay by before assessment
time that which is required in order
that the benefit may not be allowed to
lapse.
Another thing which has contributed
to favor among the people of the ben
eficiary orders is that they have proven
themselves a great power in alternating
the conditions which were they not i'll

of the state or municipal authorities.

than assistance of this kind in a time OF

from Ireland the year after President Blu
chanan was inaugurated- The first Cath
Ollie settlers were the COllinses, Fitz-
geraiis, Reddingtons, Sullivans, Glennons
McEvoys McGraths, Doolfps, O'Neills,
McGhnchys, McGlnns and Hagans. They
named the settlement after the land of
their birth. These settlers began the
foundation of a prosperous community
With all the hardships attending the birth
of town they never forgot to worship
and they held their first Holy Mass in
the Reddington home. A church was
needed. The first house of worship was
built of logs. Henry Collins donated 40
acres of ground for the site of the church
Then these exiles from Erin had a place
to bring their joys and sorrows and a
place to give vent to their hopes and
dreams in prayer. The community grew
and in 1866 fine stone church was built.
For this church Michael Glennon quarried
all the rock as his donation In 1870 this
church was completed. Again in 1895 the
talk of a new and larger church building
began This was to be the pride of the
community. John McGlinchy headed the
list of subscriptions with $1,000. The cor
ner stone was laid in 1895
Father Hurley succeeded to the charge
of the parish. 1t was four years before the
building was completed.
This church is built of brick. Roman
style; is 100 feet long, 60 feet at its widest
point The auditorium is 80 feet wide it's
chancel 32x22. There are two sacristies.
one on each side of the chancel The front
consists of two octagon turrets. The dome
is a fac-simile of the one on the state
house at Topeka. and is surmounted by a
lantern five feet high The turrets and
the dome are capped by three galvanized
iron crosses. The walls consist of four
pilasters which carry the immense roof
structure. Between the pilasters the cur
tain walls form Roman arches inside and
out. The ceiling consists of twenty-one
large panels with 300 feet of plaster of
paris moulding. Where the immense
beams cross each other at ceiling. there
are two rows of plaster of paris pendants
hanging from the ceiling
The twelve stained glass memorial win
dows are set IN the arches like pictures in
a frame. The winding stairs and ratings
and gallery are most beautiful. Two iron
columns twenty-six feet high weighing
$500 pounds. carry the inside half of the
dome The front is Ornamented with gal
vanized iron trimmings There is about
$4,000 worth of galvanized iron. There are
three entrances in front, of two doors
each. The middle doors are twelve feet
wide On each side of main doors are
side lights of stained glass to give light
to the vestibule. The vestibule is six feet
wide and fifty feet long with six double
hung doors giving entrance to the audi
forum of the church. There are five al
tars for the church. dedicated respectively
