Crosse as city 1t was on the oath
day of August, 1855, that the Rev.
William Tappert, first resident pastor
at La Crosse, arrived there,- holding
divine services for the first time on
that date. No church having been
erected up to that time, services We're
held in private buildings and later on
in the old court house. Previous to
the coming of Father Tappert, the
Rev. Father Galtier of Prairie du
Chen, had visited the place occasion
ally and administered to the religious
wants of the few Catholics then liy-
ing on the Prairie de La Crosse. .
Father Tappert commenced at once
to erect a church and in spite of pow
erty and other adverse circumstances,
he finished it in 1856, on the oath day
of August. The building was of frame,
some 60x35 feet in dimensions, and
situated on the northeast corner of
Seventh street and Cameron avenue.
It was called st. Mary's and intended

IS built of brick in the Roman style,
occupies an area 45X115 feet, cost
$4,000, and is one of the neatest build
ings for public worship in the city.
In 1886, ST. Mary's parish was again
divided, this time for the formation
of the st. James parish in North La
Crosse. This division took away from
St Mary's all the French speaking
Catholics with a few exceptions, so
that the congregation retained only
about one hundred families. In 1883,
the congregation erected large, COM
modious priests house of brick and
stone at a cost of $4,000. This placed
them in possession of all of the build
ings necessary for parochial purposes,
each one of the number being solldly
and substantially constructed of brick.
During all this time, the spiritual in
terests of the people had in no way
been neglected, and the congregation
which had been for many years one
of the very poorest of the whole do
cese has become one of the most
fourishing and successful, it's people

GEORGE TIRE DEPOT.

The great Vesta battery is handled
and sold in La Crosse at the George
battery depot, 21S-220 South Third
street Owners and drivers of auto
mobiles and trucks who have used the
Vesta battery need not be told of it's
superiority, and to those who have oc-
casion to use a battery and have not
used a Vesta, our recommendation is
to- get one at once if you want to
eliminate your battery and ignition
trouble entirely. The reason the YES
ia batteries triumph is because of
the three following improvements. an
indestructible insulator which locks
the plates apart and prevents tree
ing and the use of titaniunl, "a rare
mineral, which has the effect of har-
dening lead plates and giving them
longer life. A complete line of tires
and tubes is carried at the shop and
tire repairing of all kinds is done.

ST. JOSEPH'S CATHEDRAL.
La Crosse. Wis.

Nearly half century OF time has
elapsed since that portion Of the state
which now marks Wisconsin's west
ern border line first echoed to the
teachings of the Word. 1t was during
the year 1855, that the Rev. Father
Tappert first entered La Crosse, a
struggling little settlement located
barely within the pale of civilization,
and where dangers the most imni-
nent were the daily companions of
those whose hardihood, as we'll as de-
sire for accumulation, had brought
them there The place had been set
lied but a few years when Father Tap
pert, in the interests of that sacred
cause which ever marches side by side
with Progress and with Peace, took
up his residence among them. And
here for some considerable period he
laEOred, sowing the seed from which
was to spring forth an abundant har-
vest of churchly triumphs. Here, too,
in the year of his arrival, did he hold
the first services in a small and unpre-
tentious building The parish of La
Crosse was established in April, 1868,
and the corner stone of the present
church was laid in 1879. The great
work thus started and established by
Father Tappert was carried on to,
wards it's final and altogether success
full issue by Fathers F. X. Etschmann
and C. J. Schraudenbach, who, for a
considerable period, worked earnestly
and zealously in the cause. These in
turn were followed by Fathers Mar
co, Kampschroer, F. X. Pfaller and
the Benedictine Fathers, l.. Lay, P.
Geyer and Jos. B. Wiedmann, who did
valiant service in Strengthening and
promoting the work. OF the efforts
thus involved, those of Father
Kampschroer were particularly eff
cacious. He came to La Crosse in
1869, and it was through his unbound
ed enterprise that the structure now
known as ST. Joseph's church was
erected. Another equally noted in his
endeavors to further the interests of
religion was Rev. J. B. Wiedmann,
who built the tower on this church
in 1883. The year following, he raised
sufficient funds to purchase a tower
clock and bells, as we'll as to build a
parochial school. Father Sluyter sue
ceeded Father Wiedmann. Father
Sluyter built the present school build
ing. The present rector of St. 10,
seph's church is Rev. Peter Pape.
