the erection Of which he was closely
identified, is the best evidence of his
skill and ability as a mechanic.
The principal contract was let to
Mr.. Frank D. ScbarIie. of Dubuque.
Mr.. Scharlie is a young man 80 years
old. Though young in years he is
not young in experience. He has
been identified with his father in the
contracting business from the time he
was a boy. As a skilled mechanic, he
has few superiors. and is a man of
integrity and honesty. In the con-
struction OF the church edifce he car
ried out his contract with the cOngre-
CATION in letter and spirit. During
his short stay in this city he made
many friends, and his business rela-
tions with the committee in charge of
the construction of the work were
pleasant in every respect.

Before any steps were taken toward
securing plans and specifications for
the work to be done, an appeal was
made to the members for funds. This
appeal was met with such liberal
response that within the short period
of two weeks over $I7, 900, consisting
of cash and bankable notes, was
placed into the hands of the building
committee. In fact, the contributions
to the building fund were so liberal
that all expectations were exceeded.
In their contributions the members
manifested liberality cOmmendable
in the highest degree. Nothing can
be more praisewOrthy than a devotion
of a part of the earni lgs of a lifetime
of industry to such noble purpose
as the advancement of the cause Of
Christianity. How can ones last days

Editor Rothe of The Feunimore
Times has an active mind and a ready
pen. Not content with making things
very lively in the Republican camp,
he makes the following suggestion, on
which the Democrats might act to the
benefit and behoof OF themselves and
the whole state of Wisconsin:
Elk governor Peck is a mighty
good fellow. He helped the governor
out of middle by resigning as uni
versity regent so that a man otherwise
ineligible could be appointed, and he
may be good enoughtO help the Demo-
Gratis out this fall by cOnsenting to be
their candidate for governor and, like
as not, be elected"

Hon. J. w. BabcOck has won great
distinction as chairman of the Re
publican national congressional com
mittee. If he wishes to maintain his
reputation as an invincible party
leader he ought to decline to serve
any longer in that capacity. The

pressed brick were used for the out
side courses Of the building; the roof
is covered with slate, and the building
is plastered with ad amant.
The foundation was built under the
supervision of our t0wnsman, Mr.
Alloys Schaumberg. When the com
mittee opened the bids covering the
different portions of the work, and it
was found that the bids for building
the foundation were higher than the
building committee anticipated, Mr..
Schaumberg declared he would build
it himself. He donned his working
clothes and took up his rOwel, and
under his personal supervision the
foundation was built for less than two
thirds of the amount of the lowest bid
which the committee had received.

ST. Mary's is one of the largest and
strongest German Catholic societies
in this part Of the state. 1t was orig
inally a part of ST. Paul's Congrega7
ton, but owing to the rapid settle
ment of German Americans in and
around Mineral Point a separation
from ST. Paul's was deemed advis-
able; and in 1870 St. Mary's cOngre-
cation was organized. The site was
purchased and the old church and par
sOnage were erected in the same year
at a cost of about 10000 In the fol-
lowing year a parish school was or
ganized and a two story school build
ing erected. Rev Weinhard was the
first pastor of the congregation, and
served from 1870 to 1878. In October
of 1878 Rev. Weidlich took charge of
the parish and continued until 1879.

MY VIEWLETS.
J. f. CONRAD.

When fellow starts out to catch a
record breaker he invariably rows
across to the other side Of the lake.
On the way over he meets other fell
lows bent on the same object. This IS
on the theory that when a man has
made up his mind to tell lie he
wants to get as far away from home
as possible.
Isn't it peculiar how many heats
you can trot with some people before
you find out they belong to church.
A fiction in law is the assumption
of fact which is not a fact by Jug
full, but which the law says goes, any
how.
see where man worked for TWEEN
ty-fve years at $500 a week; then he
stole $500, 10000. That man should
have been promoted.
A man who bats his eyes when you
are talking to him you need not be
much afraid of. But when he shifts
them sidewise it's good idea to look
out.
When a man owes you and he sees
you coming on the street, and will go
down cellar or up the stairway to
keep from meeting you, it's only
question of time when you get ' url
money, because he hates to owe.
The man who owes YOU and sees
you on the other side of the street,
and will call you over and make you
walk through the mud TO get To his
sidewalk and then tells YOU that be Is
going 70 pay YOU next week. doesn't

well burn 10 his -ancoam =

a priest and citizen he has the respect
and admiration of all who know him.
Mineral Point is among the Oldest
