NEW CATHOLIC CHURCH OPEN
ED.
First Services Held Last Sunday
Morning in the Beautiful New
Edifice.

Rev. Father Hogan read the first
mass in st. Benedict's new Catholic
church in this city on last Sunday
A large congregation was present
and all were delighted and pleased
to the utmost with the beautiful
edifice, which is certainly a great
credit to the people of this parish.
1t is one of the finest churches in
this section of the state, built out
of Flemish bond brick, with Bed
ford cut stone trimmings.
The interior of the church is
simple in its decoration, but has an
air of elegance throughout. The
main floor contains 90 pews, and
each onsewill hold six adults most
comfortably, and eight can sit in
one pew, if necessary. The seating
capacity is over 600, and there
We're that many people in the churc1
Sunday The gallery will hold be-
tween 65 and 70 people also.
The church will cost $4,000, and
it will stand as a monument to the
people of St. Benedict's congrega-
ton, and they have every right to
feel proud of it.
Beautiful new windows will be
put in later on. The ones now in
the church are the storm windows.
Also the walls and ceiling will be
decorated nicely later, when the
plastering is thoroughly dried out.
Archbishop Keane, of Dubuque
has been i'll and was unable to be
here 10 dedicate it, but We are in
formed by Father Hogan that these
services will be held later, on some
week day, which will be announced
in due time. The dedication SER
vices will be impressive and a num-
Der of priests will accompany the
bishop here, as will one of the best
choirs in the state.

Frank Christopher Over Seas.

Dr.. and Mrs. Green received I
letter Monday from Mrs. A. r.
Christopher, of Scranton, S. d. and
we have been permitted to quote
from it as follows:
Suppose by this time you are
all settled in your home again for
the summer. The weather is fine
here now and the nice rain in
sures good crop. Hope the hail
will stay away, as We sure need our
crop this year to help win the war.
A card from Frank Sunday told
us he arrived safely over seas. That
is all We know, but think he is in
England, as he had very little train
ing here. 1t was such relief to
get the card. Old Uncle Sam is
sure taking good care of our boys.
Looks as though we may have them
home before long. Karl is now in
the bank here with Ernest, so that
gives me more to do, and helps me
keep cheerful. Hope you and Mrs.
Green are enjoying good health"

Honorary Army Promotion.

Brevet is q French word, meaning
commission or warrant. In military
usage it gives an officer higher nom-
inal rank than the one for which he
receives pay. 1t is an honorary pro-
motion. The first time it was used in
the United States army was in 1872
when Capt Zachary Taylor, who aft
erward became president, was made
major by brevet for his brave defense
of Fort Harrison against the Indians
near Terre Haute.
