iting Lancaster held services in the
homes of Adam Kyle (who lived on
the Beetown road where now the
st. Clements cemetery. John Pol
lock, whose surviving wife died in
Decem Der, 1906, Mr.. Grady and A.
Crosby. Naturally the services
were few and simple until regular
place of meeting was secured, but
from then on services we're more
frequent and regular. In 1871 the
Rev. Thos. p. Hodnett, now pastor
of Immaculate Conception, Chicago,
ILL.,, was appointed as first resident
pastor of Lancaster and also given
charge of the neighborlng stations.
He remained until 1878. He is re-
membered as an able pulpit orator.
For a number of years the pastor at
Lancaster was in charge of all the
territory now forming the separate
parishes of Blooming, Mt. Hope,
Patch Grove, Fennimore and Bos
cObel.
This explains the large number
of bapt1sms recorded in the early
DAYS. Father Hodnett recorded 1913
baptisms, Is marriages and two
deaths. He was succeeded by Rev.
r. J. Scott, who renamed until
1875. He recorded SO baptlsms, Is
marriages and no deaths. There
was still a debt hanging over the
Rock Church, and the scattered
members we're disheartened for the
want of united effort, scarcity of
money and other circumstances
Through his efforts a successor was
appointed who was able to speak
both the English and German Ian
guages. Father Victor remained
only one year. Also during this
year no deaths were recorded.

riages were entered. Rev. Peter
Schweiger, who died in 1904 at St
Lawrence, Wis succeeded in 1876
and remained until 1885. He is still
remembered by the older members
of the parish as jealous and kind
pastor. He recorded 225 baptisms,
fifty seven marriages and fifty-slx
deaths. Through his strenuous eff
forts the congregation became free
of debts. The gentle ard pious
Father Louis Barth, who died two
years ago, succeeded in 1885. Soon
after his arrival he proposed the
building of a new church, which
was finally agreed upon after care
ful elaboration Mr.. A. Drudig of
Chicago was chosen as architect and
contractor. He agreed to build the
church, furnish stained glass win
dows, pulpit, gallery and basement
chapel for the sum Of $40, 900, with
the understanding that the congre-
cation furnish rock, sand and lime,
and haul brick, excavate foundation
and basement. Early in the spring
of 1885 work was begun for the
erection of the new church edlface.
The members of the congregation
took very lively interest quarry
ing rock. hauling sand and rock, ex-
cavating foundation and basement.
In the meantime the pastor raised
liberal subscription by personal
visit throughout the parish. On the
9th of June the Corner Stone was
laid by the Very Rev. Mgr. Batz, of
Milwaukee. The church was COM
pleted for dedication by the 1st OF
December. By this time most of
the subscrir tons had been paid and
only 81, $50. had to be borrowed.
The Rev Father Barth, Mr.. John
Pink, Bernard Furstenberg and
Peter Hoffman, Sr. took personal
responsibility of this debt in order
to have the church consecrated in a
solemn manner. Most Rev. Michael
HESS performed the act of conse-
Grafton on December 1st, 1886. The
same year the church pews were in
stalled by the BROKER Brothers for
the sum of $203 co.

1888. He is we'll remembered for
his zeal, piety and gentleness.

heavy personal sacrifices the ST.
Clements school was built and main

Ee was successful in Student Min
istry: as home missionary among rail
road crews, lumber jacks and pioneer

in his pastoral labors with Rio and
Otsego churches; the latter desiring
his full time when he left Fall River

direction of the General Missionary,
Rev. D. W. Hulburt, D. D., who pre-
sided over the joint ordination of Ell
ders Taylor and Hsrter in the local

substantial increase in the attend

THE THEATRES
SMITHS

There are only a few more oppor- tun1t1eS to see the current bill in JacksonS summer vaudeville, and they should be taken advantage of so large ly that seats would be at a premium Tor every performance. This is one of the finest bills which has ever been offered for such an insignificant sum as is here charged. and everyone is sure to get his moneys worth, many times over. The daily matinees, starting at 2:15. give everyone an op- portunity to see the bill, and it is fill ed with the utmost pleasure and de- light for everyone.
 The gem of the current bill is the soprano singing by Miss Grace La velle. This artiste is one of the best who has ever appeared on the local vaudeville stage. and her singing alone is worth many times the amount charged for the entire show. Her voice is the purest and sweetest ever heard in local vaudeville, and she gains an admirer in every person who hears her. She is really too good for vaudeville, but would shine to far bet ter advantage in concert work.
 Five splendid acts, and three reels of the best motion pictures constitute the bill, and it is the biggest offering ever presented for. the money anywhere. The pictures are shown so large and so clearly that they are delightful, and they are the talk of the town. New pictures were shown yesterday, azd these will again be changed tomorrow. You should see them all.

EX.JUDGE DEWEY LOSES
 SUIT FOR $76, ,450, 900

Boston, June 10-A verdict for the defense was given in the Supreme court late yesterday in the Aibel suit of ex-Judge Henry s. Dewey sagainst five members of the Good Government Association, in which s76,45o,O00 dam ages were asked. The jury was out only thirty-five minutes.
 The suit was the outcome of certain alleged statements emanating from the Good Government Association in the Mayoralty campaign of 19O5, when Judge Dewey was a candidate for Mayor. Judge Dewey conducted his own case and when he appeared on the stand as a witness for himself he propounded and answered his own questions. The evidence submitted ranged from a treatise upon the an cient laws of Plato and Cicero to the method and procedure of law courts in Europe and America.
