RESOLUTIONS OF REGRET.

At recent meeting of st. Peters
congregation at Schofield, of which
Rev. f. Werhahn is pastor the follow
ing resolutions Of regret were adopted
Schofield, Wis, Sept. Is, 1910.
We express our deep regret of the
treatment which has been given tC
our pastor, Rev. +. Werhahn, by our
sister congregation, st. Stephens
church of Wausau All those malic-
ious rumors have proved to be sland-
erous and untrue, brought up for the
purpose to hinder him in his office
as minister; yes, more so, even tC
ruin him. st. Peters Evangelical
Lutheran church of Schofeld hereby
gives the pastor, Rev. +. Werhahn,
its mistaken confidence, now, as well
as he has enjoyed it during the many
years he has served it. The congre-
cation regrets very much that he
severed his connection on account OF
these conditions, and expresses the
most hearty thanks for his faithful
ness as pastor for his congeniality
to everybody, members or non-mem-
bers of the congregation, and wishes
him and Mrs. Werhahn God-Speed
for the future.

HE'S DEAD.

A dog attempted to cross the track
in front of street car Saturday
evening at point near the intersec-
ton of Second and Washington
streets. The motorman changed his
clang, which increased the dog IS
hurry to get under the trucks. He
had his mind set on doing this. The
rails and wheels were hard and the
dogs head was soft, but he didn't
know it, he didn't know it. The
wheels passed over his head and he
didn't know that either. His spirit
northward went, went, went. Not
three times, but only once did it
went, but it went as fast as if it had
went three times. Doggy became a
corpse corpse so cold, so cold.
Then there was work for policeman
to drag the corpse away-an heroic
policeman, a valiant policeman.

BUILD NEW CHURCH.

At a meeting of the trustees and a
committee of st. James Catholic
church, held last Tuesday night, it
was decided to build a new house of
worship, which will cost somewhere
between $40,0 and $4,000 when fin
ished and furnished complete.
Only tentative plans have been
formulated as yet, and it will be some
time before the proposition is sifted
down to business point. The class
of material and character of style
must be selected and building COM
mittee appointed, after which ar
rangements must be made to secure
funds. 1t is possible and quite prob
able that blue prints will be drawn
during the winter. The work of ac-
tual building will probably be under
way early next season.
The congregation intends to erect a
handsome and durable edifice, one in
keeping with the city and her people.

NEW PATROL SYSTEM.

Electricians are at work running
wires into the engine houses to con-
meet the police patrol system with
the fire alarm apparatus. This work
will be completed within few days,
when the system will be put in use.
Up to the present no keys have been
placed in the patrol boxes, but will be
as soon as the system is connected.
Police officers are using the system
quasi-regularly, and find that it works
admirably. Each time one calls up
the police station the call is registered
together with the hour and date, so
that the sergeant, if he is absent for
time, can tell whether or not the
men have reported.
