DIOCESE OF LEAD.
A MISSIONARY LETTER.
Father Fret of Lennon, S. D., writes

after | had organized Isabel and
Timber Lake, Father Vogel wrote me
that these places are in his territory,
but that I can attend the two places
if / want to. / answered him that
have work enough and as I under
stand he can give each place Sunday
every month, would be glad to have
him do so. Moreover, Isabel is quite
far from Lennon and should soon
have a resident priest.
Rev. Ambrose Bucher, O. S. B., from
Fl. Yates, N. D., was here yesterday
and expressed the wish to take charge
of Mcintosh, one of my stations. He
said he has charge of Bull Head, Ma
tho, Mclaughlin, White Horse and
would be handy for him and he could
give it Sunday. I would be salts
fed. I will in future have no more
places in North Dakota to attend and
in our diocese have besides Lem
mon, White Butte and Morristown
and the stations of Lodgepole, Cole
and Watanga, believe this is enough.
Lennon is growing and with too
many places, | cannot attend it prop
erly. Indeed it is quite little work
for priest in western city to watch
the children, hold the youth in Chris
tian order, bring back the Indifferent,
and see that others do not grow cold.
The church at White Butte (24x36)
was built very cheap, about $4,000.
We did not quite finish it, but can do
so next year if we get good crop.
have already quite a number of sub
scribers for the Bulletin. My choir is
practicing hard for Christmas. Our
church here looks little better as
private parties donated carpets, etc.
The Ladies of the Altar Society
paid for an organ and electric light.
This was necessary as in city like
Lennon we have to keep up with the
general progress"
Hot Springs.-The Right Reverend
Bishop Busch spent the greater part
of last week at Hot Springs, S. D.,
where the United States Government
maintains a large Sanatarium under
the the efficient management of Gov
ernor Miller. Of the four hundred
soldiers who came for treatment,
nearly half are Catholics and not only
enjoy the services of a regular chap
lain, Father F. x. Heusler, but also
the kindest consideration at the hands
of Governor Miller and his staff of
nurses, many of whom are likewise
Catholic. Here the Sisters of ST. Ben.
edict has a hospital capable Of &C
commodating about seventy-five pa
tents. This hospital has for some
time been subject to a cross-fre due
to the conflicting interests of the med.
ical fraternity, but there is now de-
cided probability that basis of har
mony will be established that will
free the Sisters from the annoyance
heretofor so frequently suffered.
Father Judnic Leaves Mission
House.-Rev. Joseph Judnic who was
attending the studies at the Apostolic
Mission House at Washington, D. c..
has returned home, being obliged to
give up his work on account of i'll
health. At the suggestion of several
physicians it will be necessary for him
| to take up his residence on the coast
DeadWood.-With the new year ar
effort will be made to enlist the in
terest of the business men of Dead
WOOu Ill q ASW Au1oO0 AOhC ClS al
addition to The Sisters Hospital a.
this place, which would make it pos
sible for the hospital to accommo
date about sixty-five patients besides
adding very materially to the con
venience of all concerned. Strong as
surances of very material fnancia
assistance have already been made il
several quarters, and Deadwood bust
ness men are thoroughly alive to the
financial benefit of the hospital to the
city, aside from the direct benefit O
the hospital to the sick.
A fire destroyed a large livery bari
at Deadwood belonging to the Church
of st. Ambrose, on which there was
but one thousand dollars insurance
and debt of six hundred dollars
leaving the church a cash balance Q
four hundred dollars and a very fin'
church site for which the property wa
originally bought. The old churcl
with it's varied history is hardly il
keeping with the growing improve
ments in the town, which boasts yer.
substantial and imposing public ant
business buildings. It is hoped tina
soon some efforts may be success
fully made to erect a church that vii
i be credit to the Catholics of tn
community.
