RELIGIOUS LAND
MARK Destroyed
ST. ALEXIS CATHOLIC CHURCH
BURNED TO GROUND SUN
DAY MORNING.
Loss ESTIMATED AT $4,000
FIRE ORIGINATED IN HEATING
PLANT-NEW CHURCH To-
BE ERECTED E#'

With the burning of the st. Alexis
Catholic church at West Union Sun
day morning, one of the religious lond
marks of this section was destroyed
The fire started from the heating
plant shortly after the morning ser
vices were started at 10 o'clock. The
| auditorium of the church was filled
with communicates, but all escaped
without injury. The vestments were
saved, some of the seats, and a few
of the statues, but a number of these
were badly damaged being removed.
The village has inadequate fire fight
ing facilities, and in one hour the
church was completely RACED.
St. Alexis parish was organized
about 40 years ago. The greater part
of the church was erected 38 years
ago and enlarged about rs years ago.
The structure had a seating capacity
of 315. Rev. FIR. Scheiner administers
to the wants of the parish. There are
So active families affiliated.
There was an insurance of $3,4O0
on the church, and the loss which is
total is placed at $4,000. The society
has made arrangements to hold relig
ious services in the town hall until such
time as they get their new church fin
ished, which it is hoped to do before
Christmas 1917.
At a meeting of the official board
held Tuesday evening of this week it
was decided to rebuild as soon as pos
sible. The new structure will be of
brick construction, and modern. 1t is
estimated that it will require at least
$4,000 to build church as planned.
This will mean heavy individual con-
tributions, but as the members of the
Catholic faith are liberal contributors
for their organization, it is expected
that necessary funds will be raised
without difficulty. Assistance must
come from outside the parish, and no
doubt will.
Plans are already under way for
raisiny money, and one decided upon
at Tuesday evenings meeting was the
giving of monster picnic at West
Union on July A, next, to raise funds
Other forms of entertainment will be
provided from time to time.

MELROSE IS TRIMMED

4 3O-16 in favor of Sank Centre was the
final score after the Melrose-Sauk

ease and success. The team work was

is the result of consistent practice.

mostly on strength. The Sank Cen
tire boys were not used to such siren
uous fighting prefering to use brain
instead of Drawn and fell down under
their persistent hammering during the
second half. This is not meant for a
criticism of Melrose; merely an expo
sition of the different methods. Tn
game was clean for the most part, but
very rough. There was not the science
that was involved in the st. Cloud
game.
There was also a girls game, which
was the first that has been played
here for some time. 1t was between
the two local teams and resulted in 9
score of S-8. Except for great deal
of punching, the game was good an
the girls won favorable comment from
the spectators.

COUNTY PIONEED IS DEAD

Henry Meyer, aged 80 years, died
at his home near Metre Grove Monday
of this week. The deceased was born
in Germany and came to America in
1853. In 1858 accompanied by two
brothers, Mr.. Meyer came to Mime
sofa, locating on farm which now
composes the townsite of Metre Grove,
the village having been named after
the family. The deceased was highly
respected and well known to old resi-
dents of the county. ~

An Ancient Work on Angling.

The greatest work Of antiquity on
angling is the "Halieutica" Of Orphan,
a Greek poet who hourished in the
time of Severus. A. D. 1893. from which
we learn that many articles in fishing
thought to be modern were known to
ancients.
We also learn from Atheneus that
several other writer's had written on
fishing some centuries before the Chris
tian era.

dorsement of the house.

The absent voters bill has been rec
commended for passage by the house
elections committee. 1t is the So
as the measure already passed by the
senate. 1t is planned to later substi-
tute the senate measure for the house
bill. The bill also repeats the law
passed last fall at the extra session of
the Legislature giving Minnesota ma
tional guardsmen on the Mexican bor--
der the right to vote last November
at the general election.
A bill by Representative Elias Nord-
gren of Sunrise, to aid in good road
building has passed the house. It gives
the state railroad commission author
ity to reduce rates on sand and gravel
wherever the cheaper transportation
will further good roads work.
A bill authorizing county commits
sioners to buy seed grain and loan it
to Minnesota farmers is now ready for
Governor Burnquist's signature. The
measure is to aid Western Minnesota
farmers who lost their crops last year
by reason of floods and black rust.
Where grain is loaned the county IS
given first lien on the crop and later.
on the borrowers land if the grain is
not paid for.
The bo,,co ,,o;l;f,r,, ,H,;xc ,on,ro,&
tee has recommended for passage the
bill by Representative Georg Moeller
of St. Paul to pay Minnesota national
guardsmen who served on the Mexio. a
border so cents a day in addition to
the SIS month they got from TIE
federal government. An appropriation
of $50O,0O0 for this purpose is asked.
The speed with which the house
rushes bills from general orders to the
calendar brought forth vigorous pro-
tests the other day from Representa-
tives Christensen and Tiegen. In lit
tie more than an hour the house adj
vanved twenty-one bills to the calen-
dar and there was not large attend
ance of members at that. Thus far
the house has passed ten more bills
than were passed at this stage of the
1915 session.
Representative III. III. Flowers Of
LeSuer has offered resolution in
the house providing for committee
of two representatives and one sena-
tor to go to Madison, Wis, to examine
the electric voting. machine in use in
the capitol there. Formerly the roll
calls in the Wisconsin assembly re-
quired seven minutes, now they re-
quire less than one minute, Mr.. Flow
ers said. The cost of installing the
system at Madison was approximately
$4,000.

and the chances are excellent that it
will bob up some dy to worrq every
one concerned. That the bill designed
to curb the activities of the organiza-
ton spoken of has been badly crippled
as result of the investigation is
realized, and now those interested are
trying to meet the difficulty through
the medium of general vagrancy
law. Such is being fathered in the
senate by Senator G. M. Peterson and
a similar bill is to follow in the house
within few days.

tongue lashing and some of the
charges made were undeserved is adj
mitted, but there is no getting away
from the fact that the state railroad
and warehouse commission is fast los
ing the confidence of the rural Sec
lions of the state. Every grain
grower who fails to get the grade and
price he thinks he should holds the
commission responsible, and if this
were not enough the losing end OF ev-
cry ruling made by the commission
becomes lifelong knocker.
A return to party nominations and
the application of the old convention
system along the legalized lines is seen
in two bills introduced in the house
and senate. One fathered by Senator
Rustad of Wheaton is a combination
of convention and primary, while the
other, backed by J.. H. Harrison of
Minneapolis, provides for a convention
only in the event that candidates fail
to receive designated percentage of
votes at the regular primary. In each
case party nominations are permitted
and the selection of delegates to the
convention by primary made manda-
tory. What the fate Of the measures
will be is problematical, but it can be
said that there are a number in both
houses who favor party nominations.
That the move will lbe fought by both
the Democrats and the Nonpartisan
league now organizing in the state, is
certain.
AS expected the several contests
waged against a number of members
in the house have failed of their pur-
pose. The last of them went glim-
mering when his colleagues agreed to
seat ]. J. Flikkie of Norman county,
whose certificate was desired by A. L.
Thompson, a former member of the
legislature. Thompson had the back
ing of Judge Grindeland of Crookston,
whose official ruling held that Flikkie
had vacated his rights by violation
of the corrupt practices act, but this
decision failed to influence the mem
bers of the house who passed on the
claims of the two. When the house
convened no less than six contests
were entered, but none of them pre-
vailed.
The senate will shortly pass on the
house bill providing for dry const
tutional amendment and much inter
est is shown in the OUTCOME. If pa Sc
