was the most elaborate ever held in
La Crosse.
The rather plain exterior of the chapel
gives one no idea of the gorgeousness
within. Costly pillars of hand carved
marble. inlaid with onyx, greet one on
every hand. Magnificent stained glass
windows, from the famous factories OF
Munich, built especially for it, furnish
light and beautiful allegorical pictures,
paintings, costing $4,000, the work of
a famous artist, adorn the walls Char
acters of the fathers of the church and
of the prophets clothed In flowing gar
ments of gold. stand like sentinels with
in this imposing structure. "A pipe organ
costing many thousands of dollars, is
placed in the gallery. An altar costing
$4,000, a tabernacle costing $1,000, cam
dlestcks valued at 500 each and figures
of dazzling marble. hand carved, are
part of the furnishings. Everything with
in the building is on the same magnlh-
cent plan. The entire cost of the chapel
will be nearly 100000, and the cost will
be borne by the Franciscan sisters, who
will devote all their earnings to that et-
feet.
The building is practically freproof,
the only combustible material used being
in the pews Of Quartered oak and in a
few bannister railiings of solid mahog-
any.
The new chapel adjoins the old St.
Rose convent and is built in the form Of
a cross. II is connected with it by I'M
derground passageways and with mas
sive swing doors of solid bronze. While
it will be in use continually by the sis
tiers it will be open to the public only
on certain occasions.

OFFERS TO ASSIST
DIETZ IN COURT.
Sawyer County Tax Payers Would Pay
Cost of Cameron Dam
Hearing.

RICE LAKE, Wis, Aug. 7.-fSpe-
cial. William Dietz, brother of John
Dietz, is being deluged with mail from
everywhere and from people he has never
seen or heard of, offering money, assist
ance of all kinds and sympathy for the
defender of Cameron dam. One day last
week he received forty such letters.
Among these many letters is one from
e. z. Arpin, president of the Sawyer
County Taxpayers association. He has
written to William Dietz in the hope
that John will allow the courts to review
his case. Mr.. Arpin declares that his So
ciety could arrange to have ali of the in
dictments Quashed against John and if
necessary the association would stand II
large part of the costs of the proceed
ingS.
Not Likely to Accept.
1t is not probable that Dietz will agree
to this proposition. Mr.. Arpin says in
his letter:
Possibly your brother would be willing TO
let this matter be decided by some circuit
judge Of this state, or one of the judges of
the supreme court, to be selected by him
self.
We could arrange to have all the indict-
mcnts quashed against your brother in the
past and give him free opportunity to
ScALit III anu uGIeuu ululSell De1OFe luC
courts, and if necessary we can arrange
for the Sawyer County Taxpayers asso-
citation to stand most of the costs in the
case, as | believe they would prefer to do
TINS than to see bloodshed and have a MUIR
der trial or two on their hands later on.
This will give your brother the advantage
of the law to the fullest extent to protect
himself, and decide as to his rights in
this matter
Justice in Foes Hands.
In response to this offer William has
written that the Cameron dam matter
is entirely in the hands of his brother
and he feels that John is competent to
handle the matter himself. He said fur
ther:
Some of the papers of late haye pub
HShed editorials saying that the lumber
company had the matter in its own
hands, and your letter shows they could
have had all the indictments quashed
against my brother, and shows further
that they hold the justice or injustice of
the case in their own hands"
Offer of $500 Made
William says that the only offer the
company made to ! was to pay him
500 to let them put the rest of the logs
through the dam. William claims that
the company had already put through
S9.000.0O0 feet, and had something like
20,000,000 more to put through when
the offer was made.

They come in a bewildering array
Of colors, from snow white to all con-
ceivable shades Of red and yellow, and
include ashy grays and maroon blacks.
Some Of the flesh, rose and salmon
tints equal In purity anything found
In the horal world. Varieties differ In
vig0r and stature, but the average
height Is about four feet. These highly
developed hollyhocks are quite subject
to destructive imported fungous dis
ease known as hollyhock rust which
often attacks the plants just before
blooming, causing the leaves to brown
and wither, and hlnders the develop
ment of the flowers. Bordeaux mix
ture, freely applied before Infection
has proved quite efficient In staying
the trouble, but is highly objection
able, as 1t disfigures the foliage and
blooms. Hollyhock rust has, however,
either diminished In evidence or ad-
ditional vigor has been bred In the
good varieties, as there appears to be
less uncertainty In their culture now
than ten years ago.

with the doughty Gayvilles, who aspire

Steckman was obliged TO catch on
account of the train from the west,
which brought In Hefferman, being

The game was marked by some very
pretty plays and some glaring errors,
