The First Holy Communion and
the solemn ceremonies attending
the laying of the corner stone of
the new church were occasions
deeply impressing all present.
Sunday, April 10, 1904 will be set
down in the history of the German
Catholic church of this city, as a
day long to be remembered. The
weather, the day, and the interest
shown by the people were tokens of
what was to take place.

which thirty children received Holy

of humor, which is SD characteristic
with the speaker. At the conclu-
sion of his remarks he said: CAL
low me to introduce to you, my
best friend, your venerable Mayor,
DR.. Dubois"
Mr.. Dubois address was a most
eloquent one. He spoke of the
loyalty to their faith that led the
people of St. Paul's parish to com.
bine in this great undertaking, in
volving much sacrifice upon the
part of many. There were other
motives also which should be recog-
nized. In this connection he said:
GLOW quickly is man impressed
with the fact of the brevity of his
existence upon this earth! From
the time when he is allowed by
growth to make use of the abilities
entrusted to him by his Creator, to
the time when, weakened by in
firmities, he unbuckles bis armor,
how few and swift the years! How

The first Catholic church erected
in Sank Centre was in the year
1868. The property was purchased
from Mrs. Rachel Moore, in 1867
by Messrs. Ferd. Bergman and
Kalkman. For six years prior to
the erection of the church services
were held at the home of Mr., Ferd.
Bergman, two miles south of town.
In 1885 an addition was built on
to the church. In 1888 a spire was
erected and new bell was dedi.
Gated. When work was commenced
on the foundation for the new
church it was found necessary to re-
move the spire and portion of the
main entrance OF the old church.
Until 1883 St. PauPs church was a
mission church. The first priest to
hold services in the church was Rev.
FIR. Augustine, O. S. B. who died
in St. Louis. After him came Rev.

CHANCE OF A LONG LIFE.
Only Twenty-Three Persons Out of 4
Million Ever Reach the
Century Mark.

Taking million as basis of calcu-
lation, says London Answers. statistics
show that at the end of 70 years there
will still survive $4,000 out of !, 600 900
persons. At the expiration of 80 years
there will be 100000 survivors of the
original 100000. When it comes to 30
years OF existence. there is terrible
thinning of the ranks. Only S,841 out Of
the 100000. or one in lis, will live to
that age. At 81 but 244, or one. in 40,
will be alive. At SO half of these will
have dropped out, leaving only lie souls
alive out of the, original 1000, 900. Ones
chances to reach SO, according to these
tables, are about one in $40.
OF the original / 100000 only 81 Will
live to see 80 years, or about one person
out OF 1850. The century mark will be
reached by only 20 ont of the 1000 900;
or. IN other words, out Of a group Of
43.5O0 people born at the same time only
one will fill out the century span of ex-
istence.
Only one in 100000 persons will
reach the age of 104 years; just one in
100000 can be expected to see los
birthdays; and as to living to be 1O6
years old, these tables place that con-
tingency as out of the range of practical
calculations. Possibly one human being
out OF 100000 who shall have seen
the light for the first time in 1908 will
be alive In 200a.

Especial Correspondence.1
The esteopathic doctors of the state
are insisting that Gov. Cummins appoint
one of their number to membership on
the state board of health and state board
of medical examiners, which it is pro-
vided by the law that he may do il he
sess fit. An osteopath goes on the
board this year. The esteopaths want
his place. The state boards referred to
are identical. The members of the pres
ent board say that they do not object to
an osteopath on the board of medical
examiners, but they do object to an
osteopath on the board of health. Hence
they ask the osteopaths be given no
membership until the legislature so
amends the law that one may be on one
board and not the other. The present
law makes the membership of one con-

action now and say that if it is not
taken in their favor they will ask the
legislature to create separate board for
them, which would not displease the

Our New Superintendent.

The Iowa Normal Monthly for De.
cembef gave an excellent likeness and
appropriate sketcl, of Miss Helen
Chaplin. which we're reproduced in
the Howard County Schools. Follow.
ing is tile sketch:
Miss Helen Chaplin, the county sup
erin.endent-elect for Howard county
is at present a teacher in the Cresco
schools. Although Miss Chaplin was
not prevailed upon to make the race
until II few days before election, her
candidacy proved TO be phenomenal
one, resulting in majority Of almost
! 500 in county whose normal majority
OF the opposing ticket had been. about
400. This is an index of Miss Chapin's
popularity. Born and reared IN tile
county, she attended and graduated
from the nearby Normal School at !,
Winona, Mimi. In the schools OF
Jackson aud Cannon Falls, Minnesota,
she developed that ability that attract.
ed the attention of the ever progress.
i've board at cresco, and for six years
she has been engaged liz these schools.
Miss Chaplin has the double advan.
tage of excellent educational ability,
and very attractive personality.
Geniality and good manners are potent
factors of success. They are and
should be part of the stock of every
supervisor Of teachers. Howard coun.
" is fortunate to have at the head Of
its schools one who will be welcomed
by the progressive superintendent Of
Iowa. She is strong addition to tile
large contingent of women superln.
tendents and successful admin.
lstration is certain.

Regarding Condition Of Jews
at Kishineff.
REPORT OF THE CONTEMPLATED
MASSACRE BEING INVESTIGATED
Representatives of Race Call on Secs

No Fresh, Outbreak Reported
Calls Made on President and Ger
man Ambassadors.

Washington, Dec 30.-At the in
stance of President Roosevelt, who has
interested himself in the reports from
abroad of massacres and contemplated
massacres of Jews in Kishineff, the
state department is making active in
quiry through its diplomatic and con-
sular officers with the view of ascer-
tanning tie exact situation as affecting
these people. The United States con-
sular agent at Odessa already has been
heard from and he cauIed the state
department Tuesday that there has
been no fresh outbreak at Kishineff
as reported.
Simon Wolf, representing the B'nai
Birth and Adolphus s. Solomons, of
New York, one of the trustees of the
Baron de Hirsch fund, held confer
ence with Acting Secretary LOOMS
during which the subject of the Jews
in Russia was discussed. Mr.. LOOMS
showed them the Odessa dispatch,
which gave them some. feeling of re-
lief. They did not present petition
and will not do SO unless later in
formation proves the situation to be
as serious as reported. Mr. Wolf said
that he had been impelled to call at
I the department on account of the
meeting which recently was held in
England over which Lord Rothschild
presided, which he said gave the mat
ter a character of seriousness which
otherwise might not have been ac-
cepted
Simon Wolf endeavored to have an
audience with Baron Sternberg, the
German ambassador, Tuesday. but
without avail. The ambassador was
, not at home to Mr.. Wolf when the lat
ter called at the embassy and had
Baron Won Dem Bussche Haddenhaus-
en-, the first secretary and counselor,
see him. Mr.. Wolf Informed Baron
Bussche that he came primarily in
i the interest of a client who had done
i some legal work for the embassy and
was now in trouble. Mr.. Wolf i'm
4 proved the opportunity, however, to
! say that he was interested in the
Z, Kishineff agitation in this country and
had an appointment to see the presi-
I, dent on the subject. Mr.. Wolf made
!, no proposition to Baron Bussche
1 touching the implication of the en-
4 bassy in the troubles of the Jews. =
Messrs. Wolf and Sclomons later II
i the day called at the white house, but
did not see the president. They, were
informed that the president had an
ticipated their mission by requesting
4 the state department to Inquire
1 through its consular officers in the
! Kishineff district as to the reported
