The Manchester high school football
team defeated the Hopkinton squad by
score of 1913 in close contest on
the local field last Friday.
In the first half of the gams neither
side gained the ascendancy but the
second period proved more interesting.
After Dorman, star fullback, who dis
tinguished himself thruout the game
by breaking thru the defences of the
invaders, had carried the ball over the
opponents goal line, the visitors raj
but were helted in their desperate eff
fort to score by fumbles.
The visitors came back strong in
the fourth quarter A drop kick from
the 26 yard line gave them their only
score. Whereupon Dorman toted the
ball in spectacular 55 yard run to
Hopkinton 7 yard line.
An added feature OF the game was
the excellent playing OF Captain Moore
who demonstrated remarkable ability
on both offense and defense. Welch
of Epworth Seminary officiated in the
capacity of referee. The game was
clean thruout and there were no in
juries of cons equence on either side

FIRST IMPRESSION BEST.

Dealers in monographs have discov-
cred that when they sell an instrument,
they must be careful what kind Of rec
ords the new user takes home for the
first time. If they are all jazz records
or mere popular music, the whole FAM
ily, in a short time, will get so sick Of
the phonograph that they won't want
to hear any record on it. But If the
dealer is wise enough to persuade the
customer to take along records of one
or two selections that have withstood
the test of time-really good music,
you know, without being extensively
highbrow-he makes permanent Gus
toner Of him The family doesn't OBJ
ject to hearing the good music played
over and over again. They get inter-
ested in worthwhile music and buy
records from then on.
The same thing is probably true in
various other lines of business. If 4.
person starts off using something that
has merit, he DOESN'T sour on it. but
comes back some day for more. A tai
lor told me once that when new Gus
toner cames in he makes every effort
to st eer him away from too loud a
pattern-away from anything that one
might quickly tire of. He also tries
to guide him toward selecting a piece
OF goods that will wear well. Certain
kinds of goods wear better than others.
II isn't a tailor's fault if customer
picks something a bit tlimsy. But when
the suit wears out, the average man
blames the tailor just the same.-Fred
Kelly in The Nations Business.

Jealous pastor of New Vienna, spared
nothing that would help so good a
cause. He helped to raise funds; ne
secured Bishop Hennessy's permission
TO build a church; he untiringly tour
ed the country to find suitable plac
to build This, however, was not an
easy question. The Catholics to the
northwest of Petersburg wished to see
the church a mile closer than it is
now, while those to the east manifest
ed the same desire. They proposed
the Theo. Alhoff farm as an ideal
spot. congestion was prevalent.
Father Weikmann. the good sheppard,
was more urgently pressed to solve
this difficulty. The matter could not
be rejected. church was necessity,
vet it could not exist other than in the
conjunction OF these parties. ..
During the same year the little
hamlet of Petersburg grew to a vii
lage. a store and tavern was started
directly south OF the present church
grounds by Peter Domeyer. Barney
Sassen and Henry Niemann, who
came from Quincy, H., opened coun-
try store directly east of the pres ent
school. In the following spring, 1868,
Mr. Philip Hense began a blacksmith
shop and Mr. Henry Niemann assum-
ed the making of wagons.
With these improvements and a
gradual influx of inhabitants, Peters
burg became a trading center for the
many farmers residing in Bremen
township.
If Petersburg is trade center, why
should it not be center OF worship
were the views of Father Weikmann.
other able-minded men took the same
view, and soon Petersburg was chosen
to receive the contemplated church.
Still shadow of doubt remained as
to where this edifice might give grace
to the world.
One day as Father Weikmann was
out riding with Mr.. Althoff, looking
for place to build, he exclaimed
when they drew nigh to the site which
has since become the church property:
This. is the place" His tone was
imperative, and as such did every one
receive it, for they knew this priest
was resolute in his plans and his
plans were always good.
The site that, was selected is a
prominent point in the fertile prairies
of Bremen township. Many tall wal
nut trees populated this tract and are
said to have been planted by GER
tain Mr.. Henkels, who came in the
early fifties and lived in log cabin
which stood on the east side of the
Colesburg Highway, then known as a
military road, and which was later
used as the first school.
Peter Domayer and Joe Miller eacI
donated two acres of land as site
for the church, and two acres each
were given by Anton Honkomp and

Paul McCloud, the negro from Wat

tering the E. M. Hughes Dry Goods
store on the night of October 18th, was
arraigned befoI Justice j. ]. Pentony
on Tuesday afternoon. NJ. F. Field coll
ored attorney Of Waterloo, appeared
for the defendant.
From the evidence introduced it ap-
pears that the Hughes store was en-
tered through a rear window, and
some thirty pieces OF furs and doz-
en- or more of children's wearing ap-
parel were taken. Illinois Central
freight conductors noticed the bundle
of furs in an open car and coal men
discovered more furs, and good sized
"hootch" bottle in coal car two days
later. Soon after discovering the furs
the negro was placed under arrest by
the conductor OF the freight and held
until officers took him in hand.
1t has also been learned that the
negro's real name is Frank Law, and
that he has been going under an as
sumed name since his arrest here.
After hearing the evidence and argu-
ments by the attorneys for the state
and the defendant, Justice Pentony
bound the defendant over to the grand
jury, which meets in March, 1922.

LAWRENCE BAsQUIN is .HELD U2s

Lawrence Bassuin, who lives about
four miles northwest of Manchester,
knows how it feels to have couple
of hold up men point pistols under
his nose and then go through his
pockets and take his hard earned cash,
for that is just what happened to him
last Thursday night, while on his way
home from Manchester 1t appears
that Mr.. Basquin had received his
milk check that afternoon and had 1t
cashed in Stearns & McCormick's store
at about six o'clock. The check was
for little more than $22, but that
after cashing the check he purchased
few articles of merchandise, leaV-
ing a balance in Mr.. Basquin's pockets
of approximately $4,000. The men who
robbed Mr.. Basquin were carefully
masked and rushed at him from
thicket OF bushes along the roadway,
Mr.. Basquin was unable to give much
of a description of the hold-up men,
stating that the masks were very care
fully arranged.
The same morning Miss Sevey,
daughter of Harry Sevey, had an ex-
perience which she does not care to go
through again very soon. While on
her way to her work at Mrs. c. X.
r .ading's, Miss Sevey was hailed by
two young fellows with shot guns.
Instead of stopping the car when
told to do so, she stepped nthe "gas"
and her trusty fiivver carried her to
safety. Miss Sevey was very much
frightened, and feels that she had a
narrow escape from a couple of young
fellows who no doubt think that the
world owes them living.
