MANITOWOC.
About 4 miles and in westerly dir.
ection from Manitowoc, a hillock rises
gently, out of beautiful valley bound
ed on two sides by forest t9ees On
the other side sparkle the waters OF
Silver Lake, in which on bright day
the rays of the sun seem to amuse
themselves.
What an elevating sight to see the
Silver Lake spreading itself like a
blue eye in the midst of green plains
la the background small elevations
rise forming an undulating surface.
What romantic scenery! What more
can be wished. Trees, water, bills
and valleys united in one region al
ways produce romantic impression;
which from early in the morning un
til dark, never cease to proclaim their
songs of praise.
And there in that romantic region
the corner stone of the nuunery will
oe laid next Sunday.
There in future will be uniltd th
the joyous songs of the feathered in
habitants of the forest in one harmony,
the devout praises of the pious School
Sisters, moved by th3 breath Of the
Almighty who speaks to us through
nature, and so united ascend 10 lceles-
tial heights to uraw down abundant
blessings.
Tue particular purpose for which
the Sisters were founded is the educa-
tion of our growing youth, without an
exception of religion or nationality SO
that not only Catholic children, bul
also children of all other religions may
have their chance.

ligence, and graphing hooks and nets
were sent out with which TO recover

o'clock in the morning Benson, who
was trailing a weighted net, caught
the body and brought it to the surface.

was bright young man, Il favorite
with all who knew him and was highly
regarded by his employers. He was a
man of excellent habits, always cour-
teous and would have proved success
