kThe Rev. Father Schiefen ceIe.
brates Anniversary of His Or
dination at New Munster
PAY TRIBUTE
Many Members of the Church From the
Surrounding Towns Attend the
Celebration Which Was a
Noteworthy One

The historic old village of New Mum
ster witnessed one of the most beauti-
full and impressive celebrations in its
history on Thursday when the Rev. ].
H. Schiefen for fifteen years pastor of
st. Alphonse church, celebrated the
twenty-ffthl anniversary of his ordina-
ton to the priesthood.
In accordance with his especial wish
and his humble disposition the celebra-
tion was of a purely religious nature.
At 8 a. m. Father Schiefen celebrated
solemn high mass assisted by his
brother Father Edward Schiefen of
Dover as deacon, Father J. P. Heller of
bristol as sub-deacon, and the Rev. F.
j. Hillenbrande of Lyons as master of
ceremonies. Father Hillenbrande de-
livered an eloquent address in herman
followed by an equally inspiring ad-
dress In English by Father Heller.
Relatives of the priest present were,
Joseph Schiefen of Lake Geneva, a
brother; two sisters, Elizabeth and
Gertrude, and an uncle, Joseph Field of
Carroll, Iowa. The people of the
parish attended the celebration in great
numbers and showed their love and
esteem toward their pastor by extend
ing their hearty Fluctuations to him
after the ceremony.
Father Schiefen s twenty-five years
of labor as a priest were spent in the
arch diocese of Milwaukee. Eighteen
months he spent at Kingston, Wis, for
eight and half years he had charge
of the parish at st. Anna and the re-
mainder Of the twenty-five years he
labored with great success at New
Munster. The beautiful new church
which was erected In 1908 and which
is one of the most substantial and ar
tistic Of its kind in southern Wisconsin,
was largely the result of his great exc
cutive ability and his spirit of self
sacrifice The people of New Munster
cherish the fond hope that he may still
labor in their midst for many years to
come.
His truly apostolic spirit, his kind
and genial disposition and his love for
all, especially for the children of the
parish, have endeared him to the
hearts Of all who know him.

HEARS SENSATIONAL CASE
Judge Belden Grants Marie Gimpel a
Divorce From Her Husband

There was an echo of the sensational
Jacob Gerbowitz attempted murder
case, tried in the Circuit Court two
years ago, in the same court on Friday
afternoon, when Mrs Marie Martha
Gimpel, the mother-in-law Of GerboWitz
and one of the principal witnesses Of
the state in the case, was granted a
divorce from her husband Franz Anton
Gimpel after a sensational hearing.
Gimpel was not in court nor was he
represented by an attorney when the
case was called for trial. It was
shown by the evidence that the couple
were married in Fl. Wayne, Ind, in
1902 and that shortly after the MARI
age Gimpel began course of cruel
and inhuman treatment which culmi-
mated in Mrs. Gimpel and her two
daughters being driven from the home
of the family on West Market street.
In her complaint Mrs. Gimpel charged
her husband with having made SEN
sational attack on her daughter Emma,
who was formerly the wife of Ger
bowitz and with having demanded that
the wife take up life of shame in
order to support the family.

MAY CHANGE RATES
Yeomen of America Voting on PROPOSE
tion for New Form of Assessment

I
Members of the Yeomen of America,
which has a branch society here, are
now voting on the proposition to in
crease the per capita tax from so cents
a year to Is cents a month, an excep-
tionally rapid increase in the member
ship of the organization last year led
to the necessity of making an increase
in assessments, it is said.
In order to pay district workers
their fees for bringing in new members
it was necessary to transfer $19,502.02
from the beneficiary fund to the ex-
pense fund and this action re-
suited in State Commissioner of
Insurance Hartigan of Minnesota
refusing to give the organization
license in Minnesota this year,
ruling that the transfer was violation
of the Minnesota law.
In fact the transfer was in violation
of the oye-laws Of the Yeomen, Presi-
dent Silsbee of Aurora said, but the
workers had to be paid. The members
they had brought into the order were a
boost for the society and the direc-
tors could not sacrifice them.
Provisions made by the national
council did not furnish fund sufficient
to meet the expenses Of the organiza-
ton IS expansion.
After considerable correspondence
and argument the Minnesota com
missioner announced that if the amount
taken from tie beneficiary fund was
returned 5ofore July l, 1909, and as
surance given him that the income of
the society in future will be In proper
tion to the expense the Yeomen will be
granted license to do business in
Minnesota.

It has been proven that the tele-
phone company does not bury quite all
its troubles when it puts the wires
under ground, but the carelessness of
workman is something that it can
not guard against either above or be-
low the surface. All that the company
can do in cases like the puncturing Of
the Exchange street cable is to make
repairs as soon as possible and charge
off the expense to profit and loss ac-
count.

Long ago the Scotch learned this.

The sturdy old Scotchnan nustshe
amused at the recent discoveries that
oatmeal is the best food i'll the world.
Our scientific men have been making
experiments which prove that Anleri-
cans eat too much fat and grease and
not enough cereals.
The Scotchmen say: 'Iook at our
nation as proof. The sturdiest nation
on EARTH" Still we have one good point
to make. We make better oatmeal than
the Scotch.
They buy Quaker Oats and consider
it the leader of all oatmeals to be had
anywhere. Quaker Oats is sold in fam
ely size packages ata25c or at 30c for
the package containing apiece of fine
china. The regular size package sells
at 10c. Follow the example of the
Scotch; eat a Quaker Oats breakfast
every day.
AL grocers sell Quaker Oats.
