having been in. the hospital for
some time previous, q sufferer

he was q fine specimen OF young

velopej after he had been in
camp and had begun the strenu-
GUS drill work the boys at Camp
Doniphan have been put through
in preparation for their departure
for somewhere east, "such order
already being out.
Corporal Boster enlisted in

of Company &C." and preced-
ing his enlistment had made APP

pany marched following. AT
the train the service was simple,
the band playing "Nearer, My

tears to the eyes of the pas
sengers as they peer from the
windows and watch the cere.

There is some talk OF q fourth
bank being organized to do busi-
ness at Doniphan, Messrs. Sam
Lines, W. A. Pearee, Jack
Lines, A. ]. Rouse. and others
being the interested parties, with
Lige Smelser, as cashier. The
business interests Of Doniphan
and Of our county have been sx-
panding rapidly during the past
few years and the statements Of
the various banking institutions
OF the county show this palpably.
While another bank here might
divide the business now done
somewhat, the rapid increase Of
the wealth Of the county would
soon develope additional strength
in all the institutions and make
for the betterment and financial
standing Of the county and oul
people.

A Eucharistic Tabernacle
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS GIVE
HANDSOME GIFT TO THEIR
PARISH CHURCH, UNION CITY,
IND.

One of the beautiful churches of the
diocese of Fort Wayne, ST. Mary's, of
Union City, Ind, just received a no.
Bile and grand gift from the knights
of Columbus of that parish
The gift consists of costly Eu-
eharistic Tabernacle which is SO high
ly recommended by the Sacred Con-
gregation of Rites at Rome. This
tabernacle is as burglar and fireproof
as human intellect and hands can
make. The inner and the outer doors
swing to the right and to the left with
in the tabernacle, hence no danger ex-
lists that the chalice could be knocked
over by opening the doors of the taber-
nacle
1t is built of steel and bronze and
the doors and front are gold plated
so well, that it will last, one may
say, indefinitely. Two beautiful fig
ures, representing Cherubim and
Seraphim, are placed inside of the
doors. The drapery is made of pure
white moire silk and decorated with
gold fringes. The top and bottom Of
the tabernacle is heavily gold plated.

BISHOP MULDOON
HIS APPOINTMENT TO THE do.
CESE OF LOS ANGELES HAS
BEEN CANCELLED.

A few days ago a cablegram from
Rome announced that the appointment
of Right Reverend Peter J. Muldoon,
Bishop of Rockford, ILL.,, to the vacant
See of Los Angeles, Cal, has been
cancelled. Immediately after his ap-
pointment the clergy of the Diocese
of Rockford formed petition signed
by every priest in the Diocese beg
ging Rome to reconsider the proposed
change. This spontaneous testimony
to Bishop Muldoon was as original as
it was convincing, and it proved not
only the high esteem in which the dis
stinguished prelate is held in his own
diocese, but the confidence which his
priests have in his ability, Kindness
and administrative power-qualities
which have always distinguished this
beloved prelate.
