BISHOP McGoLRIcK's CATHOLIC
COLONY AT ONAMIA, MINI.

An impressive ceremony took place
here recently. The new church at
Onamia, Mile Laos County, was SOL
emily blessed by Rev. Father w. Van
Dinter, pastor of the new congrega-
ton, assisted by Rev. Father J. Vande
Hulst, both members of the Order of
the Holy Cross. After the blessing
Father Van Dinter offered the sacrifice
of the Holy Mass in the presence of all
parishioners and delivered an elo-
quent sermon, BETTING the occasion.
The congregation of Onamia now has
all it can desire along this line; two
religious priests of the Order of the
Holy Cross and a lay brother, who
looks after the spiritual welfare of the
settlers.
Religious and Pensioners have but
one wish: that the newly blessed
Church may soon be replaced by a
larger Convent Church and a Convent
of the Congregation of the Holy Cross,
in order that Onamia may share the
wholesome influence that always radi-
ates from a holy and active religious
order. Everything points to the full
fillment of their wish in the not dis
tant future.
The D. B. S. Johnston Land Co.,

with st. Paul and Duluth.
Many more Catholic farmers, al
ready located in different states of
the Union, will remove to Onamia,
which is bound to become one of the
most fourishing Catholic colonies in
the country.

Why is "Laus tibi Christie" omitted

It is not omitted. The subdeacon
gives this response after the reading

Is it fact that Francisco Ferrer,
founder Of the modern schools in
Spain, was tried by court martial at
the instigation Of Catholics and shot
to death?
Many secular papers have tried to
create the impression that Ferrer was
bounded to death by the Catholic
Church There is not the least foun-
dalton for such belief Ferrer was
an anarchistic infidel, who not only
instigated the burning of converts and
churches at Barcelona during the riot.
ing, but actually led some of the at
tacks on them. The schools which he
is said to have opened in Spain were
used by him for the propagation of his
anti Christian doctrines and revolu
tionary sentiments. He was tried be
fore the Military Court of Barcelona
and given every opportunity to de
fend himself. He was condemned as
an anarchist, rebel and an meter to
murder. He discarded his legitimate
wife, left his children to shift fol
themselves and beQueathed a large
share of his property to mistress.

HER LAST MESSAGE.

Miss Alice Meyers of Stevens Point,
who committed suicide recently in
the post Office in that city, wrote a
letter to her mother just before she
took the dose Of carbolic acid. She
was engaged to be married to Henry
Curran and it seems that there had
been some talk between them as to
when their marriage should take
place, that was not satisfactory to
Miss Meyers. The letter written is
as follows:
DEAR MOTHER:
Please think that / am not doing
this to grieve you because, mother,
love you with my whole heart, but
cannot go against my feelings in this.
| can not stand the disgrace that
know is coming to me by Henry not
keeping his promise to me- lie alb
solutely refuses to marry me, as he
agreed.
ALICE
The expression ~ cannot stand the
disgrace that | know is coming to me"
is interpreted to mean that the break
ing off of the engagement would be a
great humiliation.

WANT A CHAUTAUQUA.

Rev. g. Eberlein of Tomahawk
was in the city last week and was
instrumental in having meeting
called for the purpose of discussing
the feasibility of arranging for
chautauqua for this section next
summer. Mr.. Eberlein took q
leading part in the chautauqua which
was held in his home city last sum-
mer, which was very successful
affair except financially. Though high
priced numbers were secured the
management did not lose very much
money and feels that next season, by
cooperating with Wausaua chautauqa
can be conducted on paying basis.
AT a meeting called, the Rev. Eber-
lein outlined his plan of procedure,
and the following committee was APP
pointed to confer with residents and
report at meeting to beheld tonight:
S. B. Tobey, L. A. Pradt, c. S. Turner,
G. d. Jones and Rev. Jas. Duer.
Chautauquas are very nice thing
for any community, brightly handled.
They afford varied programs of very
strong character at a time of the
year when the earth is burning up.
Cool, shady banks of lakes are usually
selected, where tented village is
construed, and where people live
outdoors and enjoy fresh air during
the time the chautauqua isin progress.
1t is really the cheapest form OF en-
tertainment we know Of Tickets
are sold for few dollars apiece which
gives OGe :. whole weeks or ten day
of entertainment. Usually provision
are made for those who desire to live
in tents on the grounds, sleep in the
open air and eat their meals in large
dining tent. 1t is at time of the
year when people are taking their
vacation and many OF them live right
on the grounds.
1t is quite likely thatif chautauGa
is arranged for this city that it will
be held at Rothschild for there are
no lakes handy, and the promoters
don't want to go to the expense of
building lake just for this occasion.
The matter will be thoroughly dis
cussed this evening, and if you are
interested, attend.

THE NEW YEAR.

If we all live until week from to.
day we will have passed New Years
day, and by the way it is bad form to
die at this time, when the air is Sc
full of the holiday spirit. The cele-
bration of New Years will be the
same as of yore. The people of this
land got into an old rut in this mat
ter several thousand years ago, and
they can't get out of it. We don't
know of any great thing which is
going to be pulled off iii Wausau next
Monday, unless it be the bed quilt
or table cloth, and the world will
move along on that day as on any
other. The religiously inclined will
hold watchnight or, as the old niger
called it, watch dawg'' services on
Sunday night. That same night
there will be an Independence day
celebration starting at about 1856
and continuing for fifteen or twenty
minutes.
The time has arrived when you
should sit down and mediate on the
doings of the past year, and consider
whether or not it has been a failure,
SO far as your individual case is con-
cerned, and if SO who was to blame
If your ledger balances on the wrong
side, cheer uD, brother, and start
over again. Your opportunity Of hit
ting the bumps, and falling down
again, will be as good this year as
perhaps much better.
The driver of the water wagon will
be busy fellow, collecting passengers
next Monday. Someone ought to
suggest to him that he cover the
seats with tanglefoot, SO that the
passengers won't drop off next day or
few days after. These people who
are eternally swearing off this thing
and that thing, ought to swear off
swearing off and give other people a
rest.
And remember that 1912 will be a
remarkable year in onerespect at least.
On Dec. II people can date their let
tiers 12-12-12. Such a numerical combi-
nation will not be possible again for 100
years, but you probably won't want to
wait so long. But this fact need not
cause you remorse, you will have the
tariff question and Lorimer's inyes-
tigation to ponder over and take up
your spare time.

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR
OBSERVANCE.
Members OF St. Omer Commandery
Net at IL A. n. Christmas.

On Christmas morning at IL O'Clock,
the Sir Knights of st. Omer Com
mandery met in their Temple and
participated in the annual libations
and greetings. The committee of
Christmas observance of the Grand
Encampment of the United States
had prepared the following sentiment
fof the occasion:
10 our Most Eminent Grand Master
WILLIAM BRoMwELL MELIsH
and to our brothers across the sea,
whose friendship he has helped to
cement, Merry Christmas and Hap
Ply New Year.
The Grand Master sends the follow
ing response:
We send Christmas and Knightly
Salutations to our fratres across the
sea, and across the border to Canada.
May Templar reciprocity ever exist
between US. To our own loyal and
loved Templar Host, two thousand
strong, we send Christmas greetings.
May unbroken friendships, great accu-
mutation of cheerful recollections,
greater affection each to the other,
bring us into closer fellowship. May
we fight for the ideals and the sacred
things of the Order, both alone and
with many. May we transmit Ma
sonic Christian Knighthood not only
not less, but greater, better and more
beautiful than it was transmitted to
us. May we renew our VOWS to Him,
our Emmanuel, "Whose 1 am and
whom serve" May our battle cry
for the coming year be:
True hearted whoehearted, faithful and
loyal
King of our lives, by thy grace we will be;
Under the standard. exhalted and royal.
Strong in thy strength we will battle for
Thee"
DO not, | pray you forget, as idivid-
uals and communicates, to do, " In
His name," the splendid charitable
deedS That characterized your celebra-
ton of the Christmas season Of last
year.
At the close of the obser' 'ance,
$4,000 was donated for charitable pur-
poses.

CHRISTMAS DAY.

A more delightful day than Christ
mas, 1911, was never known in Wau-
sau. The sky was clear of clouds
throughout the day, and there was
nothing but sunshine, seemingly, in
and outside of homes. The sound OF
merry Christmas was heard on
every hand, and jolly loads of young
people were out for sleigh rides and
the pleasant faces, cheerful greetings,
jingling sleigh bells, helped to make
everybody happy. As usual, many
young people were at home from
school; many relatives came here to
spend the day and there were many
very happy reunions.
The churches observed the day with
appropriate services, and during the
three days previous, Christmas exer-
cises, which ended up with a Christ
mas tree and distribution of gifts,
were held in nearly every church in
the city, and at nearly all, Santa
( Claus made viSitations.
At ii o'clock a. m. the members of
st. Omer Commandery met in their
temple and observed the day in their
libations and greetings.
In the afternoon large number of
the Masons went to Merrill on spec
ial train to attend the funeral of
James Wright.
All of the patients at the county
asylum and poor house had a smile
like basket of chips all day Christ
mas, for the old long whiskered gentle
man had not forgotten these two in
situations. At each one there was a
tree loaded with the things which
usually find place on a balsam at
Christmas time. Then, too, each of
the inmates was presented with some
useful article, which each gratefully
accepted. And the dinner served
that day would knock an eye out of
you. The old antediluvian fossil who
coined that phrase about the table
groaning under its load should have
seen the asylum table yesterday. He
would have heard the boards in it
creak. Next Monday night there will
be dance in the asylum.
There were many social functions
held during the evening, and on Sat
urday evening preceding Krismus.
There is peculiar spirit pervading
the air at this time of the year which
is so different than at any other sea-
son.
Today is what some nationalities
! call Second Christmas or Little Christ
mas. Services were held today in all
the Lutheran churches.
Nearly all the manufacturing plants
in the city are closed down and will
be for a week or ten days. An in
ventory of stocks will be taken and
needed repairs will be made before a
resumption of activity.

since last May. Learning lately of
DIR. Andrews desire to sell and re-

the opportunity to purchase said

DIR. and Mrs. Friend departed for their
new location yesterday, taking with
then the good wishes of a large
pumber of warm friends.

party at the WauSau club house last
evening to large number Of her

very attractive, especially in the hail
room where they were in keeping
with the holiday season. Southern
smilax, eyergreens, palms and ferns
were used in profusion. Dancing
commenced at nine O'Clock and con-
tinued until late hour. Light re-

evening. 1t was 2 delightful social

TAKES EFFECT ON JAN. FIRST.

j. N. Kuebler, who has been with
the Curtis g. Yale Co. in this city
as general superintendent, for the
past thirty years, owing to i'll health
has resigned his position the same to
take effect Jan. 1st, 1912. He re-
signed last September but agreed to
remain until the first of the year.
Mr.. Kuebler came to Curtis & Yale
Co. from the Radford Bros. factory,
Oshkosh. He is practical machin-
ist and inventor, having perfected
and installed many new iabor-saving
machines for Curtis & Yale Co..
factory and made many new improve
ments where his skill and ingenuity
was demonstrated, among which was
the removal of five old steam boilers
and the installation of four inn
proved ones in one week. At an
other time the removal of an made
quate engine and the installation of a
more modern and greater machine in
one week and later removed an
old inferior smoke stack and erected
new and larger one in three hours,
demonstrating his ability to cope
with such undertakings.
Mr.. Kuebler was married in this
city and has built fine home here.
He resigns with the best of feeling
to all concerned and has dore it that
he may take rest until he fully re-
gains his health. He may go South
for the balance of the winter. But
as to that he has not fully made up his
mind. Mr.. Kuebler's hosts of friends
here trust it will not be necessary for
him to make his home elsewhere
than in Wausau.
