SAME BIDDERS SUBMIT
SAME BIDS FOR FUEL OIL
Union and Consolidated Ask City to
Pay rs Cents Barrel for 500
Barrels Daily for the
Aqueduct

AS always happens, two bids for
fuel oil for the aqueduct were sub
mitted to the board of public works
yesterday, and also as usual both bids
were identically alike.
The Union OIL company and the Con-
solidated Oil company offered to supply
the city with 500 barrels of fuel oil
day for 70 cents a barrel.
These same bidders submitted the
same figures for the same quantity OF
oil about three weeks ago. One of the
bids was irregular and the board trust
ingly believed 1t could get better fig
ure If it readvertised. Bids were again
asked, but with no difference except
that this time both bids are regular.

RuMORs OF TWO
new SEES WITHIN
LIMITS OF STATE
Rapid Growth of Catholicism
Calls for Creation of Two
New Bishoprics.

Sioux Falls, S. D.. June 13.-Muchi
comment has been caused In ecclesiaS-4
teal circles throughout the state by
the well authenticated report from
Washington, ID. c., where Bishop
O'Gorman is at present s~ojourning, that
in the near future two new Episcopal
sees will be created within the present
diocese of Sioux Falls. One of these!
according to this rumor, will be located,
at Aberdeen, the other at Mitchell. A.
division of the diocese has been con-
templated fo7 some time, though until
recently the erection Of only one new
see city was in prospect. The rapid
growth of Catholicity in the eastern.
portion Of the state for the past few
years puts the creation Of two new
bishoprics instead of one within the
limits of the probabilities. AS yet noth-l
ing definite is known as to the prob
able candidates for the high offices. 1t,
is believed, however, hat Rev. J. j.
O'Neil, of Beresford, will prove the
most likely candidate for the Aberdeen
e~piscopacy. 1t is recognized thai he is
peculiarly fitted for the office, and his
work as chaplain of the chapel car has,
brought him prominently to the notice,
of leading ecclesiastics in the east and
west.
AS to the occupant of the proposed
Mitchell see there is no question but
that the Very Rev. Dean Shea. the
present pastor of The parish, will prove
the most available candidate His.
learning and el~oquence, his long years
of labor within the diocese. together
with his work in connection with the
erection of a magnificent new church
soon to be dedicated, make him the.
most logical candidate of the priests in
the southern portion of the diocese.
In connection with this report, and
from the same source. comes the ru-
that the Very Rev. E. A. BouskalL
OF Tabor, is destined for the bishopric
of the Lead diocese, soon to be vacat4
ed, 1t is believed, by the transfer of
Stariha. the present occupant,
to the Cleveland diocese, rendered va
cant by the death of Bishop Horts-
mann. 1t will be remembered that:
Father Bouska was prominently men,
one as a candidate when that dio-
cese was first created a few years ago.
AS he speaks several of the modern
languages fluently he would be pec,llJ
iarly fitted to minister to the various,,
comprised within the bor-;
ders of this new diocese.
