BISHOP OF LEAD.
Rev. Father stariha's Appoint.
ment Game as Great Sur
prise to Him.

Minneapolis. Mimi, July 24.-ReN.
Father Stariha, who has just been
created bishop of the new diocese Of
Lead, S. D., seemed very much sur
prised at his appointment and said
vision of the diocese of Sioux Falls, as
Bishop O'Gorman had suggested. He
said:
South Dakota is too large a diocese
for onebishop, and its seventy churches
and as many chapels too widely scat
tered. The new diocese is created to
permit closer communication between
the bishop and the churches and to re-
lieve the present bishop of burden
some duties. The field Is growing and
the duties of it's bishop will be extern
sive.
Il have worked here for twelve
years, and will find 1t hard to break
home ties If this news is confirmed. It
is hardly a welcome announcement to
me-"
Bishop Stariha built the Church Of
st Francis de Sales, one of the strong
est in ST. Paul He is q native of
Austria, 81 years of age, and was or
dained to the priesthood at Marquette,
Mich. after completing his collegiate
and theological courses at ST. Francis,
Milwaukee. he was sent to Red Wing
in 1872. and built st. Joseph's church
there, when there were but Ave priests
between Winona and ST. Paul. In 1884
he was transferred to ST. Paul. For
five years past he has been vicar gen.
eral of the diocese Of st. Paul.
Lead, S. D., July 24.-Much satisfac-
ton is felt at Lead over the division
Of the Catholic diocese Of Sioux Falls
and the establishment of a see at Lead.
Lead, the see city Of the new do
cese, has a population of 5000 people.
1t is easily the strongest Catholic par
ish in this part of the state, the rector
here, Very Rev. N. M. Redmond, vicar
general, administering to $500 souls in
Lead. 1t is estimated there are be-
tween 5000 and 5000 white communi-
cants in this part of the state, SO Lead
has more than half
1t is not known here where tn d.
vision line will be drawn.
For three years there has been talk
Of u division Of the Sioux Falls do
cese because OF the wide extent of ter
ritory over which the bishop Of Sioux
Falls has had supervision.
1t had been understood here the new
bishop would be one Of three priests,
Very Rev. J. N. Stariha Of st. Paul,
vicar general of the archdiocese of St.
Paul; Very Rev. T. A. Flynn of Madi-
son, vicar general Of the diocese Of
+ Sioux Falls, or Very Rev. N. M. Red
mond of Lead, also vicar general Of the
diocese Of Sioux Falls.
The new bishop will be given corr
dial welcome here.

Aberdeen, S. D., July 2s.-Reports
received from Standing Rock agency
state the the Indians of the 'reserva-
ton are holding big pow WOW over
the leasing Of the grazing lands on part
of the reservation. It is said that the
Indians are pleased with the prospect
of getting the. lease money, which will
amount to about $40 for each individ-
ual of the age Of one year or over, but
some of the old Indians fear there is
some catch in the deal which will
eventually take their lands away from
them. These, it is alleged, have been
the cause of the gathering at this time.
Major Mclaughlin, the well known in
spector of Indian agencies, whose home
is at Standing Rock, and whose family
are members Of the band, is at the pow
WOW as the representative of the in
terror department to explain the leases
and answer questions regarding the

accepted here with any great amount OF
credence. Mr.. Droppers may have been

be party to any such move. President
Droppers has repeatedly denounced the
tendency of several educators 10 become
absorbed in politics, and as president OF,
tho state university has held himself alooI
from any such proceedings. His interests
at present are central In the building up
of the state university, and certainly ne
can gain little by adding an additional
burden. While he is man who taxes
great interest in public affairs, yet thus
far he has allowed no political sentiment
to enter his government OF the un1Ver-

are high, and many of the citizens be-
lieve it would be wise for the city to
purchase the plant when the franchise Of
the gas company terminates in order that
the people of the city. ma Y be given the
benefits Of cheap gas The franchise Of
the gas company will terminate on. May
