additions built as the parish grew
larger. The first mass said in this
church was in the spring of 1885, by
Father Ogulin, of st. Peter.
Father J. J. Woods was the first
resident pastor of the church after
it passed from the mission period.
Father Woods came to Redwood Falls
in 1897, and built the priests resi-
dence that same year. He remained
until 1909 when he was succeeded by
Father Schiffrer, who was here only
one year, Father J. J. Tomek, the
present pastor, coming in 1910.
The parish now numbers seventy
families and is an exceptionally ac-
tive and prosperous one. The new
Church of ST. Catherine is proof of
this prosperity. Father Tomek and
his two predecessors are to be credi-
ted with having obtained the hearty
support of their Pensioners which
has been the motive power behind this
steady growth, and the Pensioners
are to be similarly congratulated upon
the industry and progressiveness OF
their pastors.

SAYS JUDGES ERRED
Mora Man Also Issues Denial to Ru-
NOR That Lee Backs
Him

Confusion resulting from the sec
ond choice voting is given by Henry
Rines of Mora, Mimi, as the reason
for asking recount of the votes cast
for the Republican candidates for
state auditor in a statement issued
Saturday. The papers were filed in
the district court at Mora late Fri
day. Judge P. H. Stolberg set July
13 at 10 A. M. at Saltwater as the
time for hearing on the order to
show cause why Rines should not be
declared the nominee instead of j. A.
o. Preus. He also issued a tempo-
rary injunction restraining Secretary
of State Schmahl from placing Preus'
name on the ballot until the case is
disposed of. Mr.. Rines last Saturday
said:
Alleges Many Errors
"a careful study of the primary
election returns has convinced me
that several thousand ballots which
were marked in the second choice col
umn only have been rejected as de-
fective by election judges. The law
provides that such ballots shall be
counted as first choice votes. At least
5000 ballots were rejected which
should have been counted. In St. Louis
county alone the number will exceed
500.
I'm at least 25 per cent of the pre-
cincts of the state improper returns
were made upon second choice votes.
The number of ballots rejected by the
election judges is so large as to leave
the outcome still in doubt, would
cheerfully accept the result, and give
Mr.. Preus my loyal support at the
general election"
Denies 7 &c Interest
Mr.. Rines added that any rumors
that w. E. Lee, Republican nominee
for Governor, was backing the re-
count were unfounded.
IL took this action after consulta-
ton with friends" said Mr.. Rines.
Mr.. Preus was not in his Office Sat.

the city and will not be back until

sand surrounding the fiue and the

All of Mr.. Weldon's apparatus is

hundred and fifty small chicks can
be well cared for until they are two
or three weeks old and this under
the most sanitary conditions and with
the least possible expenditure of time
and energy. Even the water foun-
tains are of the most approved type
and supply constant source of fresh

the yards equipment.

purest breeds obtainable. They are

AMERICAN CROOKS
CHARY OF LONDON
But at Present Time There Is an Influx
of Bad Men From the
Colonies.

London, March 2l.--American crooks
now give London a wide berth. Super
intendent William Mccarthy, of the
criminal investigation department of
Scotland yard, states that only on rare
occasions does his department have to
handle case in which an American
crook plays part. When Frank Froest,
McCarthy's predecessor at the head of a
criminal investigation department, was
serving hissapprenticeship as detective
inspector, American crooks were so
numerous that he was sent several times
to America to study their habits on
their native heath.
At present, however, London is suffer
ing from an invasion OF crooks from the
colonies. Most of these come from Aus
tralia and South Africa and they are
of the type which resort to violence
without hesitation. Many of them thrive
by matchmaking wealthy colonials, who
have taken up their residence in Lon
don. Some of these residents have pasts,
the revelation of which would spell dis
aster and social oblivion, and the
blackmailers who follow them from the
colonies fatten on his knowledge.
In accounting for the disappearance
from London of the American crook,
Scotland yard officials expressed the
opinion that the skillful confidence man
finds better openings on the continent
while his less artful colleague finds
safer outlet for his energies at home.

Federal officer Turned Traitor to Wed

Daughter.

San Diego, Cal, March 2l.--Love for
the beautiful daughter Of the rebel gem
eral commanding the forces at Topolo-
bampo, Mexico, caused Lieut.. Malpica,
executive officer of the former Federal
gunboat Tampico, TO forget his al
legianee to President Huerta of Mexico
and surrender the war craft to the
father OF the girl he loved, according to
the story told by passengers arriving
here yesterday from ports on the west
coast of Mexico.
Lieut., Malpica met the girl, who is
now his wife, several months ago, at
dance in Guaymas. They fell in love,
but the girl refused to accept the otfi-
GERS proposal OF marriage unless he took
the Tampico to Topolobampo from the
tuaymas and turned it over to her
father.
Malpica. it is said, represented to his
commanding officer that he received
word from Mexico City to take the Tam
pico to Topolpbampo and she'll the
rebels. The captain, it is said, assenteI
AT Topolobampo the captain was seized
and sent to Mazatlan.
Malpica was put in command of the

was married to the rebel generals

BRITISH EMIGRATION sLAcKEN.
Some Steamers Have Had to Cancel

London, March 2l.--The tide of west

ly -Four steamships scheduled to sail
within the next month have had their
advertised departure cancelled, At this
time last year it was impossible to get
even third class berth on an English
liner going to Canada without an order
several weeks in advance.
The migration toward Australia con-
tinues but diminished in comparison with
last year. II is expected to increa se
soon, however, with the first trial of
the government plan to assist English
lads to places of apprenticeship among
South Australian farmers. Under leg
islation passed last session, the COM
missioner of Crown lands and immigra-
ton is empowered to act as guardian
of boys taking advantage OF the plan,
and ample safeguards have been placed
about the interests of the boys as well
as the rights of their employers.

This party win serve as an experiment,
and if successful the plan will be car
ried out on a large scale. In the past
Australia has complained that the adult
Briton does not readily adjust himself
to rural life in the Antipodes, and, be-
coming disconnected, joins the already
overfilled ranks of labor in the cities,
leaving the problem of rural depopula-
ton as acute as ever. 1t is believed
that by the time their apprenticeship
ends the boys will be quite willing to

Reducing the Meat Bill.

In the April Woman's Home Com
panion, a butcher explains how "slkirt"
steaks which are cheaper than others,
are in reality just as nutritious and ten
der as any part of beef carcass. But
the reader is warned that if butcher
takes skirt" steak and tears it apart,
it will not be looked upon as steak by
many people. The point is made that
the success OF dishes prepared from
cheap cuts is almost entirely dependent
upon two individuals-the butcher and
the cut.
The butcher who wants to discourage
the purchase of cheap cuts by his Gus
toners will cut the cheaper cuts so
badly that the best of cooks viii be baf-
fed. The cook who may not be able to
prepare a choice piece of tenderloin, sir
loin, or porterhouse without destroying
its flavor viii prove unequal to handling
the cheaper pieces. of course. Many
choice piece of meat is palatable in
spite of the cook and not because of her
efficiency. There are some things which
are so fine that they will survive almost
any sort of treatment Skirt steak,

not. They must be prepared with special
care.

IRRIGATION PLANT
FAILS; FARMERS
SUE GOVERNMENT
Action for $4,000 Entered by ITO Ag-
riculturists Depending on Kansas
Supply Station.

Hutchins, Kans., March 2l.--Suit has
been filed here ON behalf of ITO farmers
against the United States for $4,000.
The action is the result of the failure
OF government irrigation plant at
DeerfieId. The government holds a lien
against the farmers for the amount
named in the petition, and the owners
want their land cleared of incumbrance
Congress has twice refused to relieve
the men of their debt. Secretary of the
Interior Lane is made party to the
suit. The irrigation plant was guar
anteed to furnish two aere-feet of water
per year. The first year it furnished
one foot Of water, the next year half
that amount and the third year the
plant shut down. The farmers had
agreed to pay the cost of the station
and the amount sued for corresponds TO
the sum still due to the government.
The plant now is said to be useless.
