special Correspondence to the Herald.

Rev. Father Pape, after nineteen
years of faithful and untiring service
as pastor of the St. Andrew and ST.
Thomas congregations, has resigned
the pastorate of the ST. Andrew s
church and will hereafter devote his
services to the st. Thomas church in
the village of Potosi. The mission
work of attending to the two con-
gregations has become too arduous
for him and he asked to be relieved
of one; the bishop acceded to his re-
guest and assigned him to the st.
Thomas church. The people of the
st. Andrews congregation deeply re-
greet to lose Father Pape as their
pastor; he is dearly loved by them
and it is extremely doubtful if any
other can ever fill his place in their
affections; they have the satisfaction
though, of knowing that he will not be
far away from them. He will be
succeeded in the ST. Andrews con-
gregation by Father Schaefer, who is
assigned here from Soldiers Grove,
Wis.
John F. Reynolds went to Dubuque
for medical treatment last Tuesday
afternoon.
The Potosi Military band boys are
announcing dance to be given by

April 18th. The boys are doing we'll

ancient burg. 1t is up to the people
now to give the band liberal
patronage. Don't forget to buy
dance tickets and boost the good thing
along.
