a fine dinner was served to about
200 relatives and friends. A
most enjoyable day and evening
was spent. Many beautiful and
useful presents were received by
the bride. The bride and groom
are too well known to need an
introduction.
Have you heard about the
gold mine that was found at
Buckman? Mrs. Pet. Loscheider
threshed 8 bu. of nice red clover
from an acre. $10 per bu. would
amount to $80.arid we were informed that she got $20 .worth
of hay from an acre <that would
amount to $100 per acre. I don't
think that a better gold mine
could be found. John Pe.sehel
threshed 57 bu. of clover. John
Schmolke threshed over 500 bu.
of Canada oats from 5 acres;
threshers said they never saw
as nice oats as this before. He
sells it at $1.00 per bu. if any
body wants to buy some.

Hall's Catarrh cure i.s the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease,requires

Catarrh cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood

foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by

Mike   Tschida,   the    butcher
working for   .Meyer   liros.,   had
an experience last   week   which
jarred his   teeth   loose   and   almost disjointed him at the hips.
A calf unloaded for Mey
at the butcher shop was   frightened by  a   passing  automobile
and ran away.    Mi Ice caught  it
by the tail and hung on for dear
life,   taking    great,    bounding,
rod-long   steps,   until   the   calf
leaped a fence uearJake Blake's
residence.   The calf so'n   dissa-
peared in a cloud   of dust:   but
Mike,   who    somehow   could'nt
make the raise in time  to   clear
the   top-rail,   remained   on   the
west    side,     closely     flattened
against   the   w ires   and tightly-
clenching   in   his    outstretched
fist   a   knotty   cluster   of   h.air.
Mike's experience   reminds one
of   one   of   Bill   Nye's stories.
Bill was out  on   the   plains   of
western North Dakota when   he
saw a large   herd   of   buffaloes
stampeding towards him.Flight
was out of question.   There was
nothing for him to do but to  lie
on his back, close his eyes   and
let the buffaloes jump over him.
Bill was   then  on   his   way   to
Denver   and   as    the   buffaloes
seemed to be goirg in   a  southeasterly   direction,   he   thought
it a good  plan  to  follow   their
trail as     closely    as   possible.
With a mighty bound he  caught
the last buffalo by the tail as  it
passed over him, and though he
crossed the Missouri river without touching the  water   he   did
not loose his hold.   Before sundown he   crossed   the   state   of
South  Dakota   and   a   part   of
Nebraska.

Owing to the forty hours'
devotion services held in
Pierz this week, the majority
of tlie teachers in the congregation are taking a vacation. Tlie large attendance of
children at the devotion services s~> reduces the school
attendance that it is not
worth while  to keep school.

Hunters are plentiful but
leer are scarce. One of our
hunters says there are about
four hunters to every deer.
But this must be all guesswork. Thereisa way of knowing somewheres near how
many hunters there are in
the country, but we should
like to ask the fellow if he
counted all the deer. When
we hear hunting stories we
must not take them too litter-
ally, but "paregoric-ally," rather.

ner Schneppenheim,   O.   S.    B.,
who for the past ten   years   has
been   assistant    pastor   of   the
church of the  Immaculate Conception,    has   been   transferred
by order   of  his   superior,   Rt.
Peter Engel, O. S. B.. Abbott of St. John's Abbey, to  St.
Bernard's     church.     St.    Paul.
The Benedictine   Fathers,    hav
ing   vacated    the    Assumption
Church of St. Paul and assumed
charge of St. Bernard's church,
have a large   field   of   labor   in
their    new    parish,   about   750
children   attend   the   parochial
school of St. Bernard's   congre
gation.    Father Werner,   being
an   experienced   and    energetic
pastor, will be able to do  efficient work in his flourishing   parish.    During the   years he   was
connected  with the Immaculate
Conception church he   distinguished himself especially by planning   and     superintending   the
various   and   extensive   repairs
and improvements   on   the parish edifices. The beautiful gymnasium building was also erected under his direction.   The Immaculate      Conception     parish
wishes Father Werner Godspeed
in his new Held of labor.
Father Werner's successor at
the Immaculate Conception
church is Rev. Hildebrand Eich-
hoff, O. S. B., who, a little over
a year ago was ordained to the
priesthood, but who is a zealous
laborer in the Lord's vinyard.
His last appointment was at
the Assumption Church, St.
Paul.
TliRLSiilNG IS ALL DONE
Threshing is all done and the
machines have all been taken
into their sheds for a year's
rest. They all had a run of 00
days and over. On account of
the heavy straw this year it
was feared early in the season
that many stacks of grain would
be left for spring threshing,
but the unusually fine weather
allowed them to make a clean
sweep. Men were scarce and
demanded high wages; but in
spite of the heavy expense, the
threshers had a very successful
season.
Rauch Bros, claim this season the best in ten or twelve
years. The average grain yield
per acre as estimated !by J. N.
Rauch is, wheat, 14 bu.; rye, 20
bu.; oats, 40 bu.; barley, 20 bu.
This average is based upon
threshing done south of the village.
Lastrup gives a higher average.
Mrs. Peter Virnig of Bull reports an average of twenty-nine
bushels of wheat per acre. A
heavier rainfall north of Pierz
and the ravages of the joint-
worm among the grain south of
Pierz is responsible for a large
part of this difference.
We have had no reports from
the country southeast of Buck-
man except that of Mr.
Kaas, but judging from the fertility of the soil, other things
being equal, the average yield
there must be higher than that
of the Lastrup country.
