BEN N00NAN is ELECTED
FIRE DEPARTMENT MEMBER

Ben Noonan was elected as menu
Der OF the fire department last night
to fill the vacancy caused by the res
ignation last December of Martin Ne
her. There were a couple of other as
pirants to a place in the department,
but Mr.. Noonan won out in the bal .
loting.
The firemen were obliged to hold
their regular monthly meeting last
night i'm the treasurer's office, on ac-
count of the council room being used
for the rehearsal OF an amateur opera.
Several times lately when the firemen
have assembled on their regular meet
ing night, which falls on the second
Monday of the month they have found
the big hall engaged for other pur-
poses, and have been compelled to hold
their meeting in the smaller room
which the council formerly used but
where the treasurer now has an office.
Chief Mitchell says that heretofore
they have accommodated others who
were using the hall, greatly to their

he says, the firemen will insist on their
rights and the others will have to find
another place to meet. Mr.. Mitchell
says that the second Monday night Is
recognized as the firemen's night and
others desiring the hall should select
some other date.
The chemical engine was taken this
morning to the Exley blacksmith shop
to be placed again on wheels. The
engine was provided with runners
when winter set i'm but has never been
used as yet, owing to there being 10

so that Ii could be gotten out con-
venienty. The steamer will be taken
in a few days to the McGrath barn
where 1t will be stored temporarily
and as II is brought into use only oc-
casionally, when there is a fire on the
lake front, ii will be as convenient OF
access there as at the city hall. The
fire and water committee of the coun-
Gil is considering plans for so arrang-
ing the fire station so that all the APP
paratus can be placed in a position for
prompt and convenient handling when
needed.

ADDRESS BY DR.. SCAIlON
TO KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
Talks on What Church Has Done
for Civilization, Education
and Charity.
EASTER COMMUNION MAY Is

DIR. Scallon's interesting address on
"What the Catholic Church Has Done
for civilization, Education and Charity
i'm the Western Hemisphere" was the
most notable feature of the regular
meeting of the Hancock council of the
knights of Columbus last evening. The
subject was most ably handled and
proved most interesting, being along
similar lines to the lecture given by
DR.. Scallon at Germania hall on Co
lumbus day, last October.
Quoting from historical authorities,
the speaker declared it to be a fact
and not legend, that even previous 10
the reformation or the landing Of
Columbus in America, a bishops see
had been established in Greenland.
History shows, he stated. that from
Patagonia to the Arctic Circle, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean, the
love and reverence of God and the
love of ones neighbors had been in
Cucated In the savage breast by the
pioneer Catholic missionaries. Later
and still holds the lead In maintaining
orphan asylums, hospitals and other
charitable institutions. Prison reform
Is also a problem which received the
attention of the fathers of the church
centuries ago. The speaker maintained
that it was the Catholic city of Balti-
more that first granted religious free
dom I'm the Maryland colony. and that
il was through the influence of Cath
ole bishop, Bishop Carroll, that free
dom of conscience was embodied in the
constitution of the United States.
That the church has also been n
great influence i'm maintaining good
government and that she is a fearless
opponent of anything that would tend
to destroy law and order. was also
mentioned, with the statement that for
this reason she does not countenance
Socialism.
Pentecost Sunday May Is was Sc
lected as the date for the Easter COM
munion of the Hancock council of the
Knights of Columbus, which will take
place at st. Patrick's church at eight
o'clock.
Rehearsals for the drama, THE Belle
of Richmond" to be given under the
auspices of the knights of Columbus
at the Kerredge theater some time in
the spring are progressing, and the
east is being gradually gotten into
shape for the production.

CAUSE OF ECZEMA EXPLAINED.

After years of debate medical au-

Hence, scientists are now agreed
that you must cure the skin through

Senator Thomas C. Plat is dead.
His life Ia anything but gratifying
in retrospect. He lived long enough
to outgrow the age of politics he
typiied. Naturally shrewd, self-con-
tanned, INSCRIPTIONS, he succeeded in
making himself feared in New York
politics. And in his time
fear was enough to keep almost any
man In Office. He was perfectly
frank in his representation of the ex-
press company of which he was the
head. AS a factor in national legis-
lation he was of negligible conse-
quence. It was always known in ad-
vance that Plat would vote on the
side OF the corporations and big bust
ness. so there vas never even curios-
ity as to his course. He seldom spoke
