The Right Rev. Bishop O'Gorman
dedicated the new st. Bernard church
at Redf1eld to the service Of Almighty
God on Wednesday last. This church
is one of the handsomest in that seq
ton of the state and the pastor, Rev.
Geo. McConnachie, was eminently sue
'cessful in the collection Of funds.
Seventy-fve children and adults
were confirmed. Bishop O'Gorman
was assisted by Mgrs. Flynn of Madi-
son and Sheehan Of Elkton, and by
about IS more priests of the diocese.
Dean Desmond of Huron preached the
sermon, and 1t was one of the finest
we have listened to in long time.

and people on the new church, which
cost $4,000.

sci at Elkton, quietly celebrated the
30th anniversary of his priesthood on
the 29th ult., the Feast Of st. Michael
the Archangel. But few of his parish
toner's had notice Of the fact because
the church could not accommodate the
large crowd which would have attend
ed. The Monsignor only returned the
previous evening from his trip to the
Emerald Isle and looks greatly bene-
flied by his three months trip. A
good part of his time was spent with
his brother, the Most Rev. DR.. shee-
han, Bishop Of Waterford and Lismore.
He returned on the Cunard steamship
Lusitania after four and one-half
days beautiful passage across the
ocean.
Bishop O'Gorman will administer the

THIRD PROPOSED AMEND.
MENT.

The third proposed amendment ID
contained In Chapter sos of the Laws
Of Minnesota for the year 1000.
proposed to add an entirely new sec
ton to Article TX of the Constitution
to be known as Section II, and which
shall read as follows,
Section II. The legislature may
provide for the payment, by the state
or Minnesota, of damages to growing
crops by hail and wind, or either, ana
to provide fund for that purpose. IN
Guiding the necessary expenses OF CIV
Ing effect to this act. may impose q
specific tax upon lands. the owners OF
which, at their option, have listed the
same with, county auditors for that
purpose, and no payment shall be MADE
OF any such damages except from the
fund SO provided"
ment, II adopted, will be to authorize
the State to become a trustee In the
collection and disbursement of a FUND
Tor the payment of damages to grow
Ing crops by hail or wind, OF either
This fund il to be created and main-
tained BY specific tax iraposed by the
Legislature upon the lands of such per-
sons, ONLY, as shall voluntarily list the
same with their respective county nu-
ditors for that purpose. Under 1T there
could be mo- tax for such purpose I'm"
posed on the lands of any owner who
does not consent thereto. The lesisla-
ture IL also authorized to include in
such fund the necessary expenses OF
administration of the law. The adop-
tion of the amendment will authorize
the legislature to direct that the tax
Ing machinery of the state be used TO
levy and collect the tax necessary to
raise such fund and to provide for the
disbursement of same by the officers
OF the State; but any payments to be
made by the State, by reason of dam
age By hail or wind will have to be
made from such fund and from no
other. In the settlement of any such
damages the State would assume NO
liability beyond the amount of such
fund, and could not further be rem
dered liable. A similar amendment
was offered at the general election OF
1908, but not adopted. The amendment
then offered read as follows
Section II. The legislature may
provide for the payment by the State
Of Minnesota. of damages to growing
crops by hail and Wind, or either, and
to provide fund for that purpose, may
impose specific tax upon lands, the
owners of which, at their option, have
listed the same with county auditors
for that purpose, and no payment shall
pc mace OF any Such damages except
from the fund so provided"
The main difference between the
amendment now offered, and the one
last quoted, being that the legislature
IL now to be authorized, In addition to
providing fund for the purpose OF
paying damages to growing crops by
hail and wind, or either, to further
provide an additional tax upon the
lands Of the persons SO listing the
same, to meet the necessary expenses
incurred In the administration of the
law and thus relieve the State there
from. This last provision was not In
cluded in the amendment offered In
1908.
