New Archbishop of Dubuque.

Unofficial announcement is made
of the appointment of Right Rev.
John James Keane, bishop of Chey-
enne, to the archbishopric Of Du-
buque, TO succeed Most Rev. John
Joseph Keane, resigned. While the
two ecclesiastics bear the same name
they have no common ties of blood.
Bishop Keane was priest in
Archbishop Ireland's diocese when
appointed to the bishopric of Chey-
enne to succeed the late Bishop T.
NJ. Linehan. Bishop Linehan' s
health made it Impossible for him
TO carry out his plans for the up
building of the diocese, and when
Bishop Keane arrived there was
much for him to do. His task was
much like that which confronted the
late Archbishop Hennessy when he
became head of the diocese of Du-
1 buque. The needs called for a
builder.
There are fewer priests in the dio-
cese of Cheyenne than in the county
Of Dubuque, so sparsely settled is
Wyoming. Bishop Keane dedicated
his own labor unselishly to the task
of raising funds for the erection of
churches and school houses. His win
ters were given over to lecturing
and what money he earned or secur-
ed in response to his appeals in pros
porous churches in the settled dis
tricts TO the east and west Of Neva-
da, he had place for. In the sum-
mer months journeys overland for
hundreds OF miles, TO carry spiritual
grace TO shepherds on the mountain
sides or to men in mines, occupied
him. 1t is said that there is not a
resident of Wyoming or Nevada
whom he has not met, and what this
means of travel and hardship the
reader may imagine.
Bishop Keane will be a fit success
or to Archbishop Keane. He is a
churchman whose spirituality is his
dominant attribute.-Dupuque Tele-

THE TELEPHONE.

A voice across the telephone
Can make or mar the day
Be careful of the tone you use,
And think on what you say.
Your pleasant smile can not be
seen,
Or know your kindly heart;
For people on the telephone
Are often miles apart.
The girl who answers Central
Has score of lines to mind,
Mistakes are sure to happen,
So be patient and be kind.
For life is like a garden,
Where our daily acts are grown
And as nature hath ordained it,
We will reap as we have sown
Then SOW a smile" and reap a
SMILE
And in the end you'll find
That nothing pays more interest
Than the art of being kind.

VICTIM OF FLOOD.
Veterinary Surgeon, Living North of
Dyersville Meets Death.

Dyersville, Iowa, Aug. 14.-The
body of Dr.. A. T. Hartbeck, a veter-
mary surgeon, residing north of this
place was found about eleven o'clock
this morning on the farm of John
Nurro, south of Petersburg. 1t is
believed he was victim of the
flood which caused so much property
damage in this section last night.
1t is presumed the unfortunate
man attempted to cross a culvert on
Bear Creek, at point two miles
from where the remains were found
in a field, and that the structure
gave way and that he and the team
he was driving met death in the
torrent.
