Joseph Runyon Dead.

Word came Wednesday morning of
the death of our citizen and old soldier,
Joseph Runyon, which occurred Tues
day night at Wakeeney, where he had
gone on a business trip. He was sick
but couple days having had a para
letic stroke, from which he never
rallied. He leaves widow and several
grown children. A handsome new
home was beirg built on East Juniats
street for the family, which they hoped
soon to occupy, but he failed to live to
see it finished. The family have the
sympathy of a large circle of friends
both here and in Trego county, his
former home. The body was brought
here and the funeral services were held
in the new home Thursday afternoon,
then the body was taken to the G. A
R. Hall under escort of the OLD soldiers
where military funeral was carried
out in the presence of a large circle of
sympathizing friends, and the remains
were laid to rest in our cemetery.

Next Monday in our city will be cele
Jubilee of Very Rev. Father Charles,
its Pastor, in remembrance of his 25th
anniversary to his ordination to the
holy priesthood At ten o'clock there
will be solemn High Mass by the jubi-
lariam in the church with q sermon by
Rev. Father Jerome, In the evening
there will be a fitting celebration, to
which all are cordially invited at st.
Joseph's Hall
He was born in Baden in 1859, and
the Capuchin order in 1880, was ordain-
ed in Dec. 1884 and on Christmas cele-
brated his first Holy Mass at Cumber-
land. He has worked faithfully at
many charges and at Pittsburg, Penn,
during his term he erected St Angus
tines church at cost of $22 5, 600 and it
was he who first set in motion the es-
tablishing of the Catholic college at
this city. He went to Rome as one of
the international delegates to take part
in the general election of the order and
last July he was assigned to st. JOS
eph's church in this city
Twenty-Five years of such faithful
work for the welfare OF souls and up
building of his church is surely worthy
of the highest celebration possible and
it is proper that our church should
celebrate il with special so'emrities,
and we hope he may live twenty five
years more to erjoy ard push forward
the good work. Since coming here he
has proven very welcome addition to
our religious pc ople, who gladly join
in this celebroticn even if they can't
be present at the services.
