faction of wiping out the parish debt
The Revs JOSEPH Stephan, G. Goebel,
Charles Pfeiffer, Anthony Art, Emil
Steinach, Hubert Gundermann and
Francis Welp successfully had charge
of the parish between 18o3-loO6, leav-
ing marked traces of their labors for
the good of their parishioners. Rev.
William Scheiner (19Oo-'OS) was the
first pastor who could give his un-
divided care to the Catholics of Fer
gus Falls, the adjoining missions hav-
ing been placed in charge of another
priest in 1906 His successor was Rev.
George Kauch who arrived in 1908.
AS the number of families had
slowly increased, the need of new
church was felt, and, after some hest
tation, the work was decided upon,
pastor and people working together in
complete harmony. The construction
building, SO by. 116 it., in modified
Gothic, was begun in June, 1913. The
cornerstone was laid September 7,
1913, by Rt. Rev. James Trobec, ID.
On Easter Sunday of the following
year the first services were held, after
the beautiful new windows had been
set in place, and the installment of
new pews, affairs, stations and altar
railing had been completed the week
before. Rt Rev. Bishop Trobec Of
fciated at the dedication services,
which took place on June 2, 1914.
The old place of worship had been
known as the Church of the Holy
Family; but after its dedication, Sept.
10, 1890, by Rt. Rev. Otto Zardetti,
DID,, it was named "Church of St.
Otto.' Since the erection Of the new
church, the parish has grown and
prospered under the protection of
Our Lady of Victory - it's present
patron. A new parsonage was COM
pleted in November, 1914; and the
parish already owns teachers home
as we'll as the site for school.
If sisters can be secured, it is con-
Iidently hoped that by September,
1916, Our Lady of Victory parish will
enjoy the blessing of a parochial
school, Catholics who, in seeking a
new home, hitherto passed by Fergus
Falls, because it could not offer their
children the education they desired,
will find this deficiency supplied and
can. in the future, look for no more
desirable place to locate.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
in FERGUS FALLS,
MINN.

Before the end of the 7Os, Catholics
of st-Central Minnesota were rare
ly blest with the visit Of priest. To
missionaries from the Dakotas and
from the Chippewa missions of north
ern Minnesota, the pioneers Of Fer
gus Falls and vicinity owed the few
welcome opportunities to hear Mass
and receive the sacraments, in those
early days-the humble home of some
lately arrived settler serving tempor-
arily as the House of God.
The first Catholic church in Fergus
Falls, little frame structure, was
built in the fall of 1881, the interior
remaining unfinished, and, shortly af-
ter, priests residence was added.
Handicapped in every conceivable
manner, it was only by persevering ef-
fort and great sacrifice on the part of
priest and people that so much could
be accomplished.
Rev. Joseph Moder, the first pastor,
was transferred to Barnesville in 1882
and the parish of Fergus Falls was
temporarily attended by the Benedic-
tine Fathers of St. Johns Abbey. In
1883 Rt Rev. Rupert Seidenbusch, D.
D., then Vicar Apostolic of Northern
Minnesota, appointed Rev. Joseph
Boever pastor of Fergus Falls and the
surrounding MISSIONS Father Boever
as we'll as his immediate successors
labored assiduously to pay the little
debt, which in those days weighed
heavily upon the small congregation.
The interior of the church was fin
ished by Father Schels. With the help
of Rev. William Lange 18So-19o3),
the congregation finally had the salts

 Fashion show, new vaudeville fea-
 ture that has taken the country by

 and it's popularity in other places caused the management of the local playhouse to book it for New Brit ain, although it is one of the most expensive acts in vaudeville. It is big review of the spring styles and with the women of the city it should prove sensation.
 Gowns that are. models of the modiste's art will be worn by the young ladies, all of them making sev- 1 eral changes to display the styles that are now coming into their own 1 A small fortune has been invested in 1 the clothes to be worn by the com pany and the display is said to be the most elaborate ever made on 2 public stage There will also be 5 stage setting of superb splendor for an appropriate background.
 Among the numbers to be intro 1 duced are Eve sets the SIyleS. Beau Brummel, what milady wears in the morning, what nilady wears in ths afternoon, miladys hats. what rnilads 1 wears in the evening and milady re \ tires.
 There are sixteen young ladies II l the troupe The act is staged un. ] der the spersonal direction of Miss 4 Virginia Carlton, a naodiste of na- ] tion-wide fame.

THIS IS LAST WEEK
 OF LYCEUM PLAYERS

For the closing production of the Lyceum Players most enjoyable stay in New Britain the management of the Lyceun1 offers George M. Cohan's clever musical comedy, Fifty Miles from Boston, During the three sea- sons that the Players have been at the Lyceum they have formed many warm friendships. Mir. Cross and MT. Birch were with the company when it opened and shortly afterward Mrs. Hubbard joined Miss Galloway. Miss Bolton and Mir. Wright have been with the company practically all of the present season Mir. Fuller has been with the Players for two seasons The director, MT. Leonard, has been here throughout the year. These regular members of the com pany are recognized as the most tal- ented stock actors in permanent com panies and New Britain theatergoers fully appreciate them. This week. then, there will be a large attendance at the several productions to attest the appreciation of their efforts to please and at the same time to say farewell
 The closing attraction in itself is one of the strongest bills offered this season and will win on it's own merit capacity audiences. MT. Cross will sing The Small Town GaP' in his character as,"Joe Wescott," Harvard's : great baseball pitcher Miss Callaway will sing Waltz With Me- and Jack and Jill" the two great song hits. Mr. Wright will sing "Harrigan" and MT. Birch's number is Boys Who Fight the Flames Miss Bolton will be seen in a dance number and will also sing. The story in Fifty Miles from Boston," is mighty interesting and appealing on account of it's human interest. Conan has vividly pictured the small town life, reproducing the quaint hun1or and the petty jealousies often encountered in the rural com munities. The usual rnatinees will be played on Tuesday. Thursday and Saturday afternoons. Already the advance sales of seats are large and in order to be sure of seeing the Players in the farewell attraction it is advisable to immediately secure tickets.
