Golden Jubilee of Rev. F.
Neubrand.
CEREMONIES AT THE CHURCH
Faithful Worker In The Services Of
Christ Celebrates Anniversary
of Entrance to Ministry.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
The golden jubilee of Rev. +. n
Neubrand, S. j., was duly observed
On Saturday, the day of his anniver
sary, he celebrated mass in the pres
ence of large congregation, the chill
dren singing his tavorite hymns. Yes.
terday he sang solemn high mass al
10 a. m, assisted by the Fathers OF
the house, Rev. Frs. Hagemann and
Sperig, Mr. Arthur Dittman, who act
ed as master of ceremonies, and many
altar boys. The Rev. Father Port OF
Sacred Heart college, Prairie du Chen
his old friend and co-laborer in SC
many missions, preached a most elo-
quent sermon on the dignity and
blessing of the priesthood to very
numerous and appreciative congrega-
ton.
Because Rev. Neubrand was opposed
to all public demonstrations, the cele-
bration was confined to church and
house. But the outside world had
not forgotten him. Numerous con-
gratuatory dispatches and letters
from his many friends kept pouring
in from all parts of the northern
states between the Atlantic and the
Rocky mountains.
Rev. Neubrand was born Dec. Z
1892, at Riedlingen, Swavia, and was
ordained priest Aug. 10, 1857, at Rot
tenburg. His first charge was that of
an assistant pastor at Rottweil, the
home of Very Rev. f. X. Wernz, the
present general of the Jesuits. Hearing
of the great dearth of priests in Amer.
lea, his zeal prompted him to leave
his native country and as early as
1864 he located at Ho Kah, Mimi,
near La crosse In 1869 he returned
to Germany to the Society of Jesus
During the Franco russian war he
followed the German armies to ad-
minister to the spiritual and bodily
wants of the soldiers. Having COM
pleted his studies after the war he
returned to America, where a rich
harvest IN the missionary held a"aiI-
ed him. New York, Chicago, st.
Louis, in fact all important places
between the Atlantic and the Rocky
mountains bear witness to his zeal.
MAY he live many more years for
the greater honor and glory OF God
and the salvation of souls, is the
earnest hope of his many friends.

Lake Crystal Wins Game at Sible,
Park Saturday: Score Four to
One; Ten Innings.
From Mondays Daily.


Saturday was Jonah day for the
Young Mems Christian association ball
team. 1t was their thirteenth game
and this proved hoodoo. Besides
the boys were up against a bunch of
professionals.
A fair crowd, mostly from. Lake
Crystal, witnessed the great pitchers
battle of Sibley park Saturday Each
team scored run in the first inning
with nothing more doing but hard,
interesting work for Danohue and
Rabe, until the tenth when Lake
Crystal scored three more runs, win
ming the game, to l.
Donohue allowed four hits and
struck out eleven but was more gem
erous with hits, allowing eight. Dono-
hue pitches great ball but lacks
control.
As Umpires, H. A. Peterson and F.
B. Kent, cannot be beaten. Their
work gives general satisfaction to
spectators as well as players.
Lake Crystal will likely accept a
challenge for another game to be
played here in the near future.

Such violent opposition to 'fanatic" " spelling developed in congress that the president said he was willing to back up on his order to print public docu- ments in that lingo but congress must put itself on record. The president will continue his own correspondence which does not go to the public prin- ter in the reformed" spelling. The action of congress is told in this dis patch:
 Washington, Dec. 12-By a vote of l42 to 24 the House today adopted the following amendment to the legislative appropriation bill:
 "No money appropriated in this act shall be used in connection with print ing documents authorized by law or ordered by congress or either branch thereof unless the same shall conform to the orthography recognized and used by generally accepted diction- aries of the English language"

WHY SWANITZ
 LEFT VALDEZ
Official of His Railroad Writes Inside Information to
 Seattle Man.
By Gable to The Daily Gateway.

Seattle, Jan. 3 -- The reason why Col. A. w. Swanitz is no longer with Valdez x Yukon railroad company is explained in letter from one of the head officials of the concern in Penn sylvania to a resident of Seattle who formerly had relations with the com pany. The letter in part says;
 "Swunitz had told us last summer that he had fourteen miles of grading finished and few miles of rails laid, in addition to the completion of q dock and other terminal Improvements. We sent Mir. Manifold and Prof Clark Co look into the situation. They re- ported that only three miles of cheap grading was finished and less than a mile of track laid,
 "When Swauitz first came to us he represented that he had raised all the money to build the first twenty miles of the Alaska Central railway from the Shedd Brothers in Chicago, and had himself built the first twenty miles of that road as contractor. We learn from the Shedd Brothers that Col. Swanitz was merely an employe of the company to whom they loaned the money, and that the other money raised to be put up with the amount they loaned was all advanced by Mr. Ballaine of Seattle. Moreover, we now learn that the money the Shedds loaned was almost wholly secured by collateral belonging to Mir. Ballaine personally. When Swanitz went to the SheddS to secure money for our enterprise, as he had assured us he could, he did not get cent.'
 Col. Swanltz is now in Seattle and admits that he is no longer with the Valdez x Yukon. He claims that his reason for leaving the company was his discovery that it has no fnan- cial standing and that the men behind it know nothing of railroad building or business.

Tonopah, New, Jan. 2-Joe Cans knocked out Kid Herman in the eighth round after playing with him for seven rounds. Herman was complete ly outclassed, although he boxed cleverly. Cans merely smiled at Her mans efforts to reach his body.
 A great crowd saw the fight and betting at the ringside was heavy with odds about to l on Cans. Jack Welch was referee.
 Round 1. Cans did all the leading and landed few hard blows over the heart. Herman showed great clever ness in defensive work and fought cautiously. He appeared to all the ad- vantage he has showed in former lights.
 Round ?. Not much doing in this round. The men spared at long range and it was tame throughout. Herman boxed as cleverly as Cans.
 Round 3. Herman landed twice on Cans jaw but with no apparent effect. Cans retaliated with q fierce right to heart. The round closed with the men Sparring.
 Round 4. Cans forced the pace in this round and did nearly all the lead ing. He forced Herman around the ring and landed several damaging blows. Herman spared cleverIy but was kept wholly on the defensive.
 Round 3. This round was all Cans. He landed repeatedly on Herman and fought him fercely to the ropes and all about the ring, getting past the guard of the little Jew, which seemed of no avail against the negro's rushes.
 Rounds and '. Cans did nearly all the fighting. Herman was continually on the defensive and toward the end of the seventh was becoming visibly weakened by the terrific pace.
 Round s. Cans went at his oppo- nent with a rush, breaking down Her mans guard. He forced Herman backward and landed two fierce blows with right and left, on the heart and solar plexus. Herman tottered on his feet and Cans landed terrific swing to the jaw, putting Herman down for the count
