WITH The POTOSI PIONEERS

years as a lodge room. After the local
lodge of the Mendotas became thing
OF the past the old church became a
dance hall and skating rink. Many an
evening of pleasure was INDUCED in
this once old house of worship. 1t has
also been converted to residential uses
Among the early business men Of
Potosi was Samuel Wilson who con-
Quoted a general store in a frame
building adjoining the Colonel White
saloon building. Mr. Wilson was very
popular among the people and enjoy
ed an immense trade. He died at De-
troit. Mich, while on a visit in 1856
or 81. His only son, Geo. M. Wilson,
is now prominent attorney in Farm
ington, Mo.
In 1843 the Wisconsin House, a
two-story substantial brick was put
up as a hotel with Celestin Kalten-
bach as is first landlord. This build
ing in after years was used as for
store and living rooms. Robert
Templeton, r. H. Vissherfi Isaac p.
Large, William Patton, j. W. Seaton
and Henry w. Wright occupied the
lower west room at different periods
as general stores, while the east room
was occupied by DR. Ben Armstrong,
T. r. Seaton, Elias SRockwell and
others as drug stores. This historic
old building, like many others, went
down in the fire OF June Sth, 1918
Other cary day hotels in Potosi were
the Potosi House kept by James White
who died in the fifties. After his
death the hotel was conducted by his
widow, Mrs. Mary White up to the time
of her death some years ago. Many
persons of note were guests of this
house. The City Hotel of which men
ton was made a few weeks ago was
first conducted by Martin T. Ennor.
He was succeeded by Alexander M.
Neaville. Harper's frame store build
ing one of the first in the hollow, was
enlarged and made into hotel and
called the Mission House with John
Hunt as landlord. This house stood

Continuation OF ST. Thomas Church.

In the belfry of the church was a
small but sweet-toned bell that for
many years called the people to wor-
ship This bell was replaced by a
much larger one some years ago. The
old bell was sold or given to the school
district and from the belfry Of the
high school building it's clear tones
call the children to school, The fam
iIiar sound of the old bell to old res
idents now living in Potosi recalls
many pleasant and some sad recol-
lections of the years gone by.
In 1845 a two-story brick building
was erected near the church It's
purpose was that of female educat-
ional seminary and it was occupied
for some years by the sisters of char
ity who had their headquarters in Du-
buque. They were sent out to the
west by the mother institution which
was located in Philadelphia. Sister
Gertrude was the mother in charge in
the Potosi school She was beloved
by her pupils. The sisters conducted
O. young ladies' boarding school that
was patronized by some OF the leading
families of the county and dispensing
much good The sisters were with
drawn from Potosi in 1852. The build
ing was then used as a school and con-
Quoted by different Catholic teachers
and was afterward made into par
sonage and later rented for family
uses. To the credit of the congregat-
ion a handsome two-story frame
building was built for a parsonage the
last years that Rev FIR. Pape was in
charge Of the church.
Such is brief outline Of the history
of St. Thomas church for the past "a
years There is much Of interest that
might be said in connection with this
subject but a want of time to make the
proper inquiry and research necessary
to the accomplishment Of such an un-
dertaking to render it complete and
perfect, must be my excuse to the
more informed reader for any mac
curacies it might contain. The facts
herein stated are derived from the
most authentic sources available and
we have no doubt that the revered
names and incidents mentioned will
recall to the minds of many pleasing
associations of the past In the his
tory last week l said the remainder
of the twenty-three priests who had
charge of st. Thomas church in its
81 years of existence were all men of
mature age and no doubt had passed
to the great beyond. The Herald made
it read three priests instead of
"tWentV-tree"

Two other churches constructed Of
brick were erected in Potosi about the
year of'1844. One was Presbyterian
church situated about three blocks
north of the Catholic church and the
other a Methodist church situated on
the hillside short distance from the
Presbyterian church. Both buildings
are still standing. Of these churches
we are unable to give any early his
tory. In later years after the erect
ion of the beautiful and commodious
frame Congregational church the old
Presbyterian brick structure was sold
and converted to residence purposes.
The membership of the Methodist
church became so small in after years
that the building was abandoned for
religious purposes, many of the mem
bers moved to British Hollow where
a substantial brick edifice was built
The church building in Potosi was
used for a time as an Odd Fellows
hall and then by the order of the Sons
and Daughters of Temperance 1t
stood vacant for many years or until
about 1873 or IA when it was pur-
chased by a local lodge of temper

dotas. 1t was used by them for some

Nations "saIanee Of Trade"

balance OF trade" Is an expression
used by political economists to indI-
cate the difference between the value
OF the exports and imports Of a coun-
try. This theory of the balance OF
trade grew out Of the mercantile
theory, which considers the possession
Of gold to he the chief object Of trade.
Hence, there rose the belief that a na-
tion increases In wealth To the extent
that the money value OF It's exports
exceeds that Of Imports.
