ice M. Redeker was connected will

nois on Feb. IL, 1874, and his widow.
one son, Harry E.. Redeker of Aber-
deem, Wash, and one daughter, Mrs.
George r. Sutherland of Kenosha. sur
vive him.
Politically Mr.. Redeker was a Re-
publican and in recent years he mad
been one of the most active supper
tiers of progressive Republican, princi-
pies in this section Of the state. He
never sought a public Office, but al
ways took the deepest interest in the
political activities of the state and
nation
He was one of the most active mem
bers of the Fred S. Lowell Post of the
Grand Army of the Republic and he
had expressed his interest in the old
soldiers by many acts of kindness and
generosity. With his wife he was
member of the Octagon club, one o.
the pioneer of the social organizations

THINK BUEHLER GIRL FOUND.
Girl Supposed to be Missing Chicago
Girl Found at st. Louis Friday.

01Al Ouuu dL ~. Aouio Iludy.
A girl Supposed to be Violet Buehler,
the missing Chicago girl, was taken
into custody by the police at st. Louis
on Friday night. She had registered
at the st. James hotel in that city
as Violet Baker, but it is declared
that there is no doubt but that the girl
is Violet Buehler. She came to St.
Louis on Friday from Waterloo, Ia,
and it is declared that the girl never
went to Racine or Kenosha as she was
supposed to have done. The identity
of the girl has not. been fully estab-
lished nor has she made any statement
in regard to herself, but her baggage
is being held and it is said that she
tallies so closely with the description
of tie missing girl that there is little
chance for doubt that the long stand
ing mystery has been solved.

Formal Announcement by
Arch Bishop Messmer of
Limits for New Parish.
is SATISFACTORY TO PRIESTS
New st. Thomas Parish Will Have
Large Territory for its Work and
Will not Conflict with Work of Other
Roman Catholic Parishes in the City.

Archbishop Sebastian G. Messmer Of
the arch diocese of Milwaukee of the
Roman Catholic church, has after a
great deal of thought, made the boun-
darles for the Catholic churches in the
city. In letter sent to the priests
LOT the various churches these boun-
darles are outlined and it is expected
that all Catholics living within the
boundaries set by the arch bishop will
attend the new st. Thomas Aquinas
church and contribute to the support
OF that parish. There is no change
made in the boundaries that have pre-
vailed for years for the other churches
1t being the plan Of the head of the
church in the diocese to mark plainly
the lines for the new congregation.
The order relates especially to all
English and German families in the
district covered and it provides that
families of other nationalities which
may seek to unite with the new church
shall take the matter up for decision
among the priests of the various
churches concerned. 1t is expected
that before great while there will be
many of the foreign born residents in
the district who will seek to sever
bonds with foreign speaking parish
and come into the English church
This has been the experience in other
cities.
1t is considered that the boundaries
as outlined by the arch bishop are
decidedly fair to all the congregations
and it is also expected that the Rev.
Father Malone will build up one of
the strongest churches Of the denomin-
alton within the limits outlined. AL
ready the parish has a large member
ship and it is being extended daily
The new church and school is rapidly
nearing completion and the first serv-
ice will be held in the assembly room
on Sunday. 1t will probably be at
least two months before the congre-
CATION will have the use of the entire
building and the school building may
not be ready until the opening of the
spring. Money for the building of the
church is being raised as rapidly as
possible and the trustees of the
church are hopeful to dedicate it with
small debt The formal letter Of
the arch bishop fixing the lines for
the new parish is as follows:
Milwaukee, Wis.
Rev. Dear Sir:
| beg to inform you that / have
decided upon the following parish
lines of the new St. Thomas Congre-
cation at Kenosha:
On the east; the G. & N. w. railroad
track as far north as Elizabeth street:
on the north, Elizabeth to- Pleasant
street, Pleasant street to Grand aven-
ne; on the west, out into ,the country;
on the south, out into the country.
All the English and German families
within this district belong de jure to
the st. Thomas congregation. If any
families of other nationalities wish to
become members of the st. Thomas
parish, the case must be brought be-
fore me for decision, unless settled by
mutual agreement cf the Rev. pastors,
concerned.
Very sincerely yours,
s. G. Mcssmer,

Although it is admitted that the
prospects for reversal of the decision
in the case involving the title of the
city to lake front lands are not any
too bright It is probable that the case
will be taken to the supreme court on
appeal. The matter is too important
to rest on the dee - -e the trial
court.
