Father Laurent who is Dying in
France Was Noted Iowa
Clergyman
OVER FIFTY YEARS MINISTRY
Father Laurent Went to France to Visit
Familiar Scenes of His Childhood,
But Intended to Return to Musea-
tine and There End His Days-Story
Of His Life.
specia, to Times-Republican

Muscatine, Dec. Hundreds of his
own Pensioners as well as Catholics
all over the state and protestants as
well are mourning today at the news
from Dion, France, conveyed in
cablegram saying Father p. Laurent is
dying For fifty-one years he has
ministered to one parish, that of st.
Matthias, and has thus come to have
the distinction of having served the
longest continuously in the same place
of any priest in the state. A year ago
in November Father Laurent cele-
brated his golden jubilee and hundreds
offered Fluctuations. A month ago ne
departed for France with his sister
Theresa to see once more the old
familiar scenes of his childhood and
renew the vigor he felt passing from
him. His intention was to return TO
spend his last days with the people
with whom he had labored so long and
successfully.
The career of this well beloved father
reads more like q romance than real
life history. He was born in France
in 1928 and his desire to do missionary
work among the Indians coupled with
his inclinations to botanical study led
him to some to this country where
both Indians and abundant flora were
to be found. He went to Albany by
rail. Then he was compelled to find
other means of travel and proceeded
1n1 fn
From there he went across Wisconsin
on foot and by mud wagon to Dubuque
and came from there to Muscatine by
flat boat. = He landed here with this
struggling village of fifteen hun
dred. His parish extended across the
state to the Missouri and soon after
his arrival he set out on horseback
across the deSolate region to visit
scattered Pensioners and establish
missions. He established mission at
Council Bluffs and later did likewise
in Winneshiek county. But later his
work was confined to Muscatine and
here he labored zealously, winning the
esteem of all citizens. He built ST.
Mary's church and later st. Matthias.
Once before he returned to France and
was offered a tempting position as as
sistant in the church of the Madeleine
in Paris, one of the finest churches in
France. But he had become thorough
American and refused. And we'll he
did for the Commune of 1871 would
probably have shot him with the
rest.
The kindly smile of Father Laurent
was familiar to every citizen of Mus
catine. His long flowing gray beard
and his ever tWinkling eye made him
an object to be noticed anywhere. The
devotion shown him by his own par
ishoners was marked in the extreme
and with heart that was large enough
for all he ministered to the needy and
brought happiness and good cheer to
thousands in his fifty-one years of
services. Rev. Father Kunkel was left
temporarily in charge of the parish
when Father Laurent left and will
probably remain permanently. Tho
France was the home of Father Laurent
it is known he preferred to die in Mus
catine but it is improbable that the
remains will be brought to this city,

Judge Lochren's Opinion.

Special to Times Republican.
Ottumwa, Dec. Am unrevised copy
of the opinion of Judge Lochren, of the
United States court of appeals, in the
case of the City Water Supply Com
pany VS.. the City of Ottumwa, has been
received in Ottumwa. The decision up
holding that of Judge Smith McPher-
son, who granted an injunction re-
straining the city from carrying out the
terms of its contract for the erection of
a new water works system, is made on
the grounds that to issue bonds cover
ing the cost of the system, whether it
should be bought or built, is to increase
the indebtedness of the city beyond the
legal limit. The fact that taxes are
levied for the purpose of paying the
amount of Indebtedness does not, in the
mind of the federal judge. change the
condition of affairs. and he calls the
plea of the city, the appellant in the
case, a 'jugglery of phrases He
quotes the constitution of the state of
Iowa and says that it is plainly a pro-
vision to protect the taxpayers from
being drawn into any such scheme by
the city administration.
The decision is very pronounced in
the stand against the city and the con-
dition is illustrated by the example of
a man who borrows money to make a
purchase, promising the lender to lay
aside a certain proportion of his earn
ings, which may be fixed, for the pay
ment of the loan. This. according to
the judge, creates a debt on the part of
the borrower and is the same PROPOSE
ton as that of the condition of the city
in this case. Judge Lochren can see
the matter in only one light, and his ar
guments to that end and in support of
his position are strong.

FRYE GEOGRAPHY KEPT OUT.
Important School Book Decision b,
JUDGE Whitaker at Boone,

VuO96 WHIIdNSr dt DOOuSs
Boone, Dec. 2.-Judge Whitaker on
Monday rendered a decision in the case
of Dale VS.. the Independent District of
Boone in Which he made permanent the
injunction restraining the president OF
the school board from introducing the
Frye geography. The Natural geegra-
ply was adopted by the board in 1899
and was readopted as a part of the
course of study in 1901. In both cases
the minutes of the board mention a
certain course of study, but do not
name the book individually. President
Pollock and another member of the
board thought that the formal adoption
of the Frye book would be legal and at
a meeting of the board in August, when
only three of the members We're pres
ent, he put the adoption of the Frye
geography thru.
r. f. Dale. as a patron of the schools,
brought suit for an Injunction, which
was granted, restraining the board
from using the new Frye book The
case was tried some time ago and de-
cision was rendered yesterday favora-
BILE to the plaintiff.
This settles an important question in
the school law governing the adoption
of books. The new adoption was on
the ground that it was only as a part of
