remembered that Father Shea was
we'll along in years when he left De

w. B. Mates met with a painful
accident Sunday, one that will put
him out of business for several days,
if not weeks. He was riding his
motorcycle down Fifth street when
he met a team that appeared to be
afraid of his machine. Mates was
watching the team and did not notice
a dog that attempted to cross directly
in front of him. The result was that
Mates vas thrown from the machine
with such force as to break his collar
bone and he is now on the list for re-
pairs. 1t was lucky for Mates that he
secured an accident policy the week
before and now he will draw fifteen
dollars per week during his enforced
vacation.
John F. Johnson, Of Bancroft,
Iowa, died in this city Thursday
afternoon, July l4th Deceased was
employed as a stonemason at the
farm of George Stoddard, zeal Man
chester. About the first of the month
he felt bad and went home for short
rest. He returned and went to work

they were not prepared to give him
the care and attention desired at the

to bring him to the hospital in this

death. Deceased leaves a wife and
two children at Bancroft, Iowa. W.

dean for that section. Father Hogan
has been the priest in charge of this
parish since January, 1899, eleven

ministry and partly to the natural
growth of the community. He has
been instrumental in helping to build
up the church properly and today
st. Thomas parish has a fine church
and a handsome residence for
the priest in charge. Father
Hogan intended to depart today
Thursday and will take with him
the good wishes of all for future sue

We have this week mailed state
ments of account to many of our sub.
scribers who are in arrears. IL you
happen to receive a statement we
hope you will give the matter immedi-
ate attention. As is the case with
every M in business, whether it be
be farming or some other lire, We
need all that is coming to US. And
it is necessary that subscription ac-
counts should be settled promptly for
the further reason hal the postofice
department has established a rule
that a paper cannot be sent to a SUBJ
scriber more than one year in arrears.
Occasionally an account may run over
that length of time, but when it does
run over it is through inadvertence,
and not intentional on our part. This
