Cincinnati, o., Feb. 14.-The entry

seizure by prohibition agents of the
United States is unlawful, under a

searches and seizures is not limited
TO dwelling houses, but extends to

Judge Peck said. '"The discretion of
an officer, however good and well in
tentioned, is not substitute in law
for a search warrant issued by e.

Fifty years after Oh-wo-bopte-Wak
pah-da-ha-ha, the .Dakotahs' cheerful
text for ''The Turnip Fields on the
Falls Of the Vermillion," had to yield
in 1920 to what the paiefaces in 1920
pleaded to the Hastings on the Mis-
sissippi' fifteen years after the
first blackrobe put to blush the bloody
legends about Mato-Waukon, Lake Isa-
bel, by the gospel charities of the
Prince of Peace--are the facts, which
approximately mark the chronology
ical bearings and the cultural stage
of that pioneer age, where this his
toric sketch begins. The Catholics
were then prayerfuily united in their
common house of worship, the Guard
ian Angels Church.
In this sort of differentiated unity
the German element took exception to
the prevalent, dissenting sympathies
relative to schools and schooling,
and almost exclusively championed
the idea of a Catholic parochial school,
As yet pioneer element of the Guard
ian. Angels Parish, they were wonder
fully. adhesive to their inherited edll-
cational convictions.
Indirectly, the realization of the
noble project received a quickening
through a meeting held on November
IL, 1856, when the Messrs. John Mics,
Valentine Boor, Eugene THEM, Henry
Stem, John P. THEM, Michael MainZ,
Matthias Offermann, Theodore Kimm,
Stephen Raetz, Peter Kalkes, Dominic
Felten, and Sebastian Manders met
to organize the st. Boniface Society
for purposes principally fraternal. I'll
was not until October, 1869, that Bish-
op Grace finally consented to the re-
newed request for "a separate parish.
The good Bishops serious difficulty
consisted mainly i'm the fact that he
had no German priest or one master,
ing the German sufficiently to assign
as pastor to the new parish. This
difficulty was overcome by the Bish-
ops turning the pastorate over to the
Benedictifles whom he had some ten
years prior . to this invited to the
Northwest The news of the Bishops
grant was received with joy at home.
The charter-meeting was held October
6, 1869, Frank Seffern being elected
chairman; N F. w. Kranz, secretary;
Michael Mainz, treasurer. These Of
ficers at once set to work to collect
funds fora church. ST. BOniface, the
great Apostle of the Germans, was
the chosen Patron Saint. 1t may not
be amiss to suspicion an inspiration
from the st. Boniface Society, which
has ever been the moral and material
support of the parish, from the very
infancy to the present day. The first
pastor appointed was the Rev. George |
Scherer, @. s. B.

1872, Father George came every fort |

assistant
The parishioners proceeded imme-
diately to their pioneer work, and that
fall the foundation of the church was
completed. On January 25, 1870, the
contract for the church was signed by
Messrs. Rudolph Latte, Nicholas Lor-
enz, and P. Mics, the acting building
committee. 1t was a frame structure.

sacristy 10x16, ready for service July
1, 1870, at cost of $3.50 The church
was dedicated to the service of God
on November IS, and in the following
year, bell was consecrated to the
honor of st. Barbara, Mrs. Barbara
Schaller being the sponsor.
The next great objective was
"German-English Roman Catholic
School," On December 80, 1871,
school committee, the Messrs Michael
Mainz, N. F. w. Kranz, and Nicholas
Schwarz, rented the FOLD" Guardian
Angels Church to serve as school
house until June, 1874, and for short
time in fall, an old holse on Ramsey
street. They were very fortunate to
obtain the services of the Sisters of
st. Joseph for teachers, for. whom in
September 1872, the ST. Boniface Con-
vent was erected 1t was particularly
due to the especial efforts of the st.
Boniface Society, that, the school
building project was fastened to sue
cess. The new two-story brick school
of 1874 was of design and size suf-
ficiently appropriate for the years it
served it's purpose The two rooms
on the first floor were used as school
rooms, and on the second, the one
served as a meeting room for the
societies, and the other WIS the liv-
ing room for Father GeoTgs.
Father George was now the resi-
dent priest of st. Boniface, and until
this time as for some time thereafter,
the parishioners managed practically
everything on their own initiative and
authority, establishing soft of lay
regime, particularly as to the school
property and management. A Ger
man Roman Catholic School Society"
was organized December s, 1876 The
records reveal resolution dtted May

site was decided over to Rt. Rev.

which in the course of many years
has ever satisfied all expectations by
their labor of love for sacristy and
sanctuary. On All Souls dat. 1870,
two and a quarter acres were bought
to establish the st. Boniface Cemetery.
When in the fall of 1873 the church
at Miesville was finished, Father
George also held services thereleyery
