ORGANIZE CATHOLIC SOCIETIES
A National League of American Uni
Versities and Colleges.


versities and Colleges.
LA FAYETTE, Ind, April 10
A national league of the Catholic So
cieties of American universities and
colleges will be organized as the re-
suit of a convention opened today at
Purdue university. Institutions from
the Atlantic to the Pacific are repre-
sented by delegates, including Har-
ward and other big eastern UNIVERSE
ties. Nearly all important colleges
have local societies of Catholic stud
ents, and by organizing on a national
scale the work of bodies Of this ma
ture will be centralized and rendered
more effective.
The leaders state that there is no
combative purpose in their uniting
but rather they recognize the import
ance of the social movement now be-
ing experienced in this country and
that by uniting they are merely iden-
tifying themselves with the spirit OF
the times. Then too. there is the
great advantage to be gained from
an interchange Of ideas and a COM
parison of methods in vogue at the
various institutions for holding the
students Of this creed together. Other
results are also expected and one OF
the motives that has not been
brought into the foreground as yel
is the formation of a sort Of national
lecture bureau where the best Catho-
lie speakers Of the land may be Sc
cured to give talks upon various sub
jeets Of interest to Catholic students
and people generally.

Ransom Cowan, a prosperous bust
ness man of Warren, Ill.
About so years ago /. B. Cowan
left his home in Warren and came
west. making his home at Pierce City,
Idaho, then a booming mining town.
Mr.. Cowan was one of the pioneers of
Pierce City. He prospered and be-
came rich, and after living many
years there removed to Wallace after
he had been elected county commits
sioner and held other Offices in Sho-
shone county. For some reason he
never corresponded with his brother
at Warren, although the latter made
several futile efforts to locate him
The rest of the story is told by Cap
tain Coverly.
Five Years ON Trail of Brother.
When was visiting Warren five
years ago met Ransom Cowan,
whom l had known well in my boy
hood days." said the captain. HE
knew that / had been in the west for
good many years and he told me
of the repeated efforts he had made
to get track Of his brother Israel. Be.
fore left for Spokane Ransom urged
me to try to find his brother and re
quested me, If ever l did, to let him
know where he was. About the time
Minnie Watson, the Chinese-Ameri-
can girl, exposed the gang of street
car bandits Angus Sutherland oil
Wallace. deputy sheriff of Shoshont
county, and were talking about the
case one day when Angus made the
remark that Judge Cowan had be.
friended the girl and helped to edu
cate her brothers.
Mention of Names Gives Clue.
AS soon as he mentioned the name
of Cowan l thought that Judge Co
wan might be the long-lost brother Of
Ransom Cowan, so asked Angus tt
investigate. wrote out on a slip Of
paper the names of all the Cowar
brothers except the missing one and
told Angus to show it some day tt
Judge Cowan. Only a few days ago
got word from Deputy Sheriff Suth
erland that he had done as / asked
and that Judge Cowan had told hin
that the names on the paper wer'
those of his brothers. So the barr
mention of the name of Cowan in oul
conversation several weeks ago hai
resulted in bringing together at leas
by letter these two old men who hat
been ignorant of each others where
abouts for so many years"
The outcome of the coincidence ha
been that Ransom Cowan, now 81
years old. has had his wish of year
gratified and has had the pleasure o
corresponding with his brother. with
in a few years of the century mark
before death separated them.

Holly Schools Crowded.

The excellence of the Holly
public schools was never so ac-
centuated as the present season,
when people are coming from far
and near TO Holly for the advan
tages the public school offers to
their children.
The grammar school is filled
TO overflowing, and applicants liv-
ing outside are constantly de-
manding admission who are will
ing to pay the small tuition that
the Board of Education is COM
PEELED by law to charge. The
school wagon is doing an exten-
sive business this year, and "Ba-
ker' Simpson has all he can do
to transport the youngsters to
and fro daily.
The High School, numbering
among its members from the
Fairview. Sunnyside, Hornbeck,
Horse Creek and Holly districts,
is also crowded, and the increase
over last year. in the entire school
attendance, is gratifying to the
officers.
While, of course, the extra at
tendance is largely due to the STU
gar campaign, which is about to
begin. the fact remains neverthe-
less that the excellence of Holly
schools make them eagerly
sought for BY those who realize
the value of thorough public
school education.
