WHY | AM
A CATHOLIC

Rev. o. E. Welsh, Paulist, of Chica
go, who has been addressing large
audiences all the past week at SIS.
Peter & Paul church, delivered his
last address Sunday evening of the
series on the subject, why l Am A
Catholic" The large church build
ing was Well filled. All Catholics pres
ent must have been proud of the fact
and honored by his glowing address,
that they were members Of the Catho
lie church. He certainly showed lrp
his subject favorably, and non-catho-
lies present could really take no of
-fense at what he said unless they
We're thin skinned. His address was
instructive and his eloquence inter
esting and pleasing. He was very
appreciative of the large audiences
which gathered nightly to hear his
discourses in spite of the. rainy wea
Their prevailing all the week. He
thanked the officers of the church
and Kni ghts of Columbus for his plea
ant stay in our city and he extended
all Christians of whatever denomina-
ton his good Will He left ON the ev
ening train for Chicago, we'll stats

CHANGES FOR
CONVENIENCE Of
ALL CUSTOMERS

The credit offices at the Johnson
& Hill store are being moved to the
Mezzanine floor in order that the
space formerly occupied by this de
partment in the center Of the store
may be used as a wrapping desk. This
move serves a double purpose, both
in the interests of the customers. The
new wrapping arrangement will allow
the customer to shop from one depar
ment to another on a transfer with
out having to wait for change or bun
dies as the purchases will be sent to
the central station and all placed to-
gether in one or more packages as
may be convenient
Baldwin carriers viii be installed
which will reach from all parts Of the
big store to this central station This
is in keeping with the policy Of the
Johnson & Hill Co. to give its pa
irons big city service.
The moving of the credit office to
the Mezanine floor brings it into
closer contact with the heads of the
departments and at the same time
facilitates the handling of this depart
ment in its relation to the custom

but it sounds rather fishy. The Chief
of Police notified the person solicit

Cohen after considering the PROPOSE

consulting the City Attorney, told the

that the person has left the city, but

Another school has been organized
west OF the poor farm, which is doing
good work under the leadership Of
Mr.. Otto Guenther an energetic young
man who has just moved into this

Another school which was just or

the marsh is being cared for by Mr..
P. T. Brown, who knows how to make
things interesting for the youngsters,
while Grandma Clinton, whose heart
and soul is in the work assists in

WAS ANOTHER
LUCKY" WRECK
Nobody Hurt When Northbound
Passenger Train No. | Jumps
Track at Marshfield.

STEVENS POINT, Wis, May %
The wreck OF 500 line train No.
at Marshfield, Thursday morning,
seems to be another accident where
the element of luck entered promin-
emily.
The wreck took place just south
of the intersection of the 500 and
Chi cago & North Western railway
and according to reports the tower
men had, given No. 1 a clear track, as
shown by the signals some distance
from the crossing AS No. 1 neared-
the crossing ait moderate rate of
speed a Northwestern train also hove
into sight and, it is said, the tower
man changed the order Of things,
giving the Northwestern train the
right of way. Accordingly the de
rail- on the 500 line track was
thrown open and No. 1, too near to
stop. was thrown into the ditch.
DESPITE the sudden joltingi no one
was hurt but the locomotive and mail
car jumped the track and were badly
damaged and the track was torn up
for a distance of about fifty feet.
The wrecking crew from this city
was called out and the train contin-
ued on it's way shortly before noon.
The entire crew of No L was the
same as was on that train on FRIDAY

We believe the Sunday School is the
biggest thing We have in Wisconsin,
We have given Brother Howe a splen-
did position of looking after a school
recently organized at the county line

Sunday afternoons when you go by

Plank hill union school was organiz
ed last week. This is located four
miles. south of Nekoosa, the most beal
tiful spot in the county. So beauti-
full that more of the Illinois Wiscon

We know from our recent visit to
Illinois that the Illinois people be-
lfeVe with us that there ought to
be something doing every where along
Sunday school lines.
These schools all meet in the after
noon except the one below Pittsville.
We should be pleased to have the
young people of the different churche
visit these schools when they can and
encourage them in the work.
We are glad to say that the Biron
school organized over three years age
is doing good work, and is under the
care Of the Baptist young people, two
being delegated to visit them each af
ternoon and assist i'm the work. Why
could not the young people of the oth
er churches do the same with these
other schools?
South of the city, fourteen miles or
so in the jack pine region is a very
neglected community Two churches
but both closed up for the want of
some one to carry ON a Sunday school
We organized there some time ago,
but the work had to close for the want
of a superintendent. Yet there are
plenty of Youngsters there, who ought

sixteen years old, who was to be bur-
led without any religious services,
