Norwood, Minn.-The corner stone
of the Catholic church was laid
Wednesday, May 10, without any cere-
mony whatever. Rev. Seubert said
he did not want any demonstration or
doing over the affair. The committee
got tin box made and in this was
placed and sealed a few church rec
ords and copies of the Times, the
Eagle, the Herald, the Carver Journal
and the daily papers of the twin cities
and Duluth, also copy of The Irish
Standard of Minneapolis, the list of
names of those who donated toward
the building fund, the names of pastor,
building committee, etc. This box was
placed in the stone and then cemented
in the wall, where we hope it will re-
main for years after all who now live
may have passed to the great beyond.
Morris, Minn.-The numerous
friends of William Horrigan will be
panied to learn Of his untimely death,
which occurred at his home here on
Tuesday of last week, the cause of
mis- death being the dread disease con-
sumption, which has now carried off
four members of this stricken family
within the brief space of two years.
William had been suffering with this
disease for several months, and had
visited the Pacific coast and the south
in the hope of regaining his health.
The utmost efforts to find cure we're
of no avail, and he finally succumbed.
Deceased was 20 years of age, and as
he was born and raised in this county,
he naturally had a large number OF
friends and acquaintances who re-
spected him for his sterling character.
He graduated from the Morris schools,
and was among the brightest young
men enrolled.
Mandan, N. D.-The Right Rev. D..
V. Collins and the two missionary
priests closed a very successful ten
days mission on Tuesday evening,
May 8. Although the weather the
last few days of the mission was not
at all agreeable, nevertheless, it did
not keep any that were making the
mission from attending. Up to the
last evening the church was crowded
and this showed what benefits were
derived from the sermons. The Papal
blessing was given Tuesday night. A
large donation was taken up by the
missionary priests. They left the
next morning on the late No. 2 for
the East. "Blasphemy," Social Evil"
Drunkenness" christian Faith"
christian Charity" HELL" Heaven"
"Sin, Vice and Crime" "a Goddess and
Christless Education" ETC., were the
subjects of the sermons. The total
abstinence pledge from the use of in
toxicating liquors was given to many
during the Catholic mission. Seven
hundred Catholics and Protestants,
on Sunday evening in st. Joseph's S
church, stood up in their pews, and
with uplifted right hand, made SOL
emn promise to abstain from the prac-
tice of indecency, profanity and bias
phemy. The Catholic mission was a
great success, and Father Collins is
pleased.
