It's pity boy can't kiss away his

occurred at the seminary at Cape
Girardeau. During this study the fer
tile mind OF Father Renihan displayed
itself to excellent advantage and by
his earnest work became fitted for the
life OF a priest very early in manhood.
BY special dispensation he was or
dained a priest nearly year before he
was Of the required age and immedi-
ately took up the work as an assistant.
His First Charges.
For several years Father Renihan
was assistant to Father Nugent at Des
Moines and also assistant at Council
Bluffs. His first charge was at Valley
Junction and after several years there
he came to Keokuk to enter larger
field His popularity in Keokuk knew
no bounds and his congregation was
devoted to him during his early activ-i
ity. The work OF building the new
Catholic church consumed much of his
time between 1898 and 1900 and for
six years afterwards he remained at
this parish. His next call was to Os-
kaloosa and there he remained until
the present time. In Oskaloosa his
work was successful and he was well
liked among the people there.
Enthusiastic Knight.
Father Renihan was an enthusiastic
knight of Columbus and was instru-
mental in organizing the order in Kto.
kuk and In promoting 1t in after years.
For long time he was chaplain OF
De La Sale Council and was active In
such at the annual banquet and lunch
cons and also at memorial exercises
he was usually on the program and
never failed to do full justice to his
part OF the day or evening.
He was lover of out of door exer-
else and enjoyment and found time
aside from his priestly duties, for lit
tie daily recreation. He was the pos
SCISSOR Of fine horse and presented a
stately as well as graceful appearance
when in saddle.
His Recent Sickness.
Father Renihan took sick but a
short time ago and was brought to
Mercy hospital, Davenport. where he
was under treatment for throat
trouble. His condition grew worse

The "Preventorium."

Whether the 'preventorium" is phil ologically a good word or not, it's meaning may readily be grasped by the sub scholastic masses. Obviously, preventorium must be a nlace of, or an arrangement for, preventing some thing. The latest unabridged diction- ary. which, like the newest automobile model, bears date of 1910, does not include "preventorium." The next edition is likely to. Dictionaries re- cord the development of the language;
 though the dictionary makers must frequently be distressed at what they are required to ratify. Perhaps the only preventorium in the world-at least the only institution of the kind which bears the name-is at Lake wood, New Jersey. It is a tuber- culosis preventorium; a hospital for the prevention of tuberculosis as dis tinguished from cure or even relief. Attention is now called to the insti- tuition.

RESOLUTION IN SENATE
Authorizing President of United States to Cause Arrest of Nicaragua's Chief Executive-Aetive Legislation.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Promise of activity in legislation was indicated by tho introduction today of $50 bills and resolutions by the senators, covering a great variety of subjects. ManN of these measures failed of passage dur ing the last congress, and 90 per cent. of them will receive scant consfdera- ton this session. Many are for pen- sions that could not be granted under the general law.
 President zeiaya Murderer.
 Setanding out prominently was a res- elution by Senator Rayner today au- thorizing the president of the United States to cause President Zelaya to be Rpprehended as common criminal, charged with the murder of two Amer jeans, engaged in revolutionary activ- of wars of all civilized nations, which would have granted them trial.
 Large Number of Bills in House.
 The house was in session for an hour and a half and a large number of measures were introduced there. The most striking feature of the proceed fngs In that body was a speech by Representative Kusterman of Wiscon- sin, denying the charge that his in- terest in German shipping was so great ss to cause him to entagonize a bill Tor 1ne relier or the American merchant marine. MT. Kustermann was in jovial hunnor and his speech was generally enjoyed. Senator Lorimers successor fin the house, Hon. William J. Moxley of Illinois was sworn in.

 Owing to the fact that no reports have been made from committees both houses are without subjects upon which to legislate. The senate adjourned un- til Monday and the house until Tues dav

Some of the Points That He Makes
 in His Message.

The following are the principal points made by Mayor Buckingham of Bridgeport in his first message:
 The laws must be justly enforced.
 Harbor grab denounced. Death trap remedy advocated
 Steps must be taken to secure better trolley service.
 Heads of departments must attend sessions of common council
 Connecticut company must keep streets in repair between it's rails.
 Deficiencies in municipal service largely due to inadequacy of public revenue.
 One-mHl tax imposed by state win be. extraordinary demand upon next budget
 Electric light Investigation to be continued and probe pushed to the bottom.
 The end in view is to obtain reduced rates to public and private consumers. Promises to people are sacred and must in every instance be scrupulously kept
 Main arteries of travel should be improved and public affairs should be administered with economy.
