Head of St. Joseph’s College Since It Was Founded to Be Succeeded by Father Hugo. father Augustin Seifert, head of St. Joseph’s College since it was founded in IS®l, has tendered his resignation as rector and will be succeeded by Father Hugo Lear and an executive council of priests. Heretofore the president has had supreme power and upon Father Seifert has devolved the financial management of the growing institution as well as all matters pertaining to the courses of study, the discipline, etc., have been worked out by him. Of couse, the faculty has counseled with him in this work but he had supreme control. How well he has

accomplished the task is told by the great college he has built up, the magnificent buildings that have been erected, the excellent community of priests and brothers, the splendidly kept farm, the excellently disciplined student body, the progressive pursuit qf education along modern lines of thought, the large number of graduates who have proven the substantiality of the foundation given them during their years of study at St. Joseph’s college. Started twenty-two years ago as a small school, St. Joseph’s college has grown as very few colleges have ever grown. The erection of the magnificent chapel was the crowning labor of his long service and its dedication brought here many prominent Catholics who did not realize until their arrival that St. Joseph’s college had attained so great proportions. Everything has been bulit for the future, the build* ings being equipped with everything that is modern in colleges. An estimate of the building improvements and their furniture at the college is placed at three-quarter of a million dollars and this may be insufficient to cover their cost. All this has been accomplished under the direction of Father Seifert, who has worked with a diligence possible only through his devotion. Naturally he has broken considerably from the task and it is for this reason that he desires to relinquish the presidency and to give over the task of management to new hands. Probably there never was a college president more retiring in disposition and yet more positive in his control. His service was performed right on the grounds, where he spent twenty years without any rest. Last year he took a trip abroad and enjoyed it very much, but it did not restore his broken health and this year he found the task so tiring that he determined to relinquish it

RENBBELAER, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 1913.

FATHER A. SEIFERT RESIGNS AS RECTOR

He will be succeeded by Father Hugo Lear, as president; Father Nicholas Greive, vice-president and prefect of the religious students; Father Justin Henkel, economist; Father Theodore Saurer will be retained as prefecty of the secular students and will have three assistants, one priest and two brothers; Father Arnold Wayman and Father Plus Kanney, as secretaries and Father Ignatius Wagner, as prefect of studies. While the change in the head of the school had been rumored for two or three days it was not publicly known until announced by Father Seifert himself at the dose of the commencement Wednesday morning. Father Seifert is one of the consultors of the Community of the Precious Blood, and as such will continue. He has not decided where be located and may decide to accept an offer made to him from Rome to become chaplain of the sister house in Austria but it Is more probable that he will remain in America, he being a native of the United States. Prior to starting his Work here he had for some time been the rector of the seminary at Carthagenja, Ohio. The new rector. Father Hugo Lear, is a graduate of the college and seminary at Oarthagenia, while the majority of the faculty are grad-

Company Rifle Team Will Go to Evansville for Shoot

The state shoot, for the selection of a rifle team to tepresent Indiana at the national matches at Camp Perry, Ohio, will be held at Evansville, commencing Friday of this week. The first competition will be between teams of five enlisted men from each company in the state. Rensselaer is sending a very strorig team and will have a chance of winning the shield. Heretofore officers have fired in the company teams, but this will not be allowed this year. The team to represent Company M will be Sergeants Jerry B. Garland, John E. Robinson and Harrison B. Timmons, Corporal Elmer Cook and Private John N. Horton. Sergeants Garland and Robinson will remain to fire in the governor’s match, the regimental match and all the competitive matches for the selection of the state rifle team. Lieutenant Herman B. Tuteur will accompany the team as a range officer. The team will leave Rensselaer at 11:05 tonight, going to Evansville by way of French Lick Springs.

Indiana Author Selected Minister to Portugal.

Meredith Nicholson, of Indianapolis, well known author, is to be the IT. S. minister to Lisbon, Portugal, his name having been sent to the senate Wednesday for confirmation. There was considerable opposition in Indianapolis among politicians when it became known two or three weeks ago that Mr. Nicholson had been recommended to the president. The charge was that he was not “much of a democrat,” but VicePresident Marshall was for him and that seems to have been enough. Mr. Nicholson was a reporter for several years on the Indianapolis Sentinel.

William Walters Remembers Seeing His Great Grandmother.

Not many of us remember having seen our great grandmothers, but William Walters, of Rensselaer, who is now in his 83rd year and a man of very good health considering his advanced years, recalls having seen his great grandmother when he was about 8 years old. He lived in Ireland at that time and his great grand-mother was 124 years old. She died a year later. Mr. Walters’ father died during the civil war arid indications were that he was poisoned by a young man.

Ladies’ and Children’s Muslin Underwear, money saving prices Jarrette’s Variety Store, Lynn Parkinson, the hustling Saturday Evening Post agent, is confined at home with a case of mumps and Russell Clarke is substituting for him this week.

' ; With lemons so unusually high, we suggest a trial of out high-grade bottled soft drinks. A large bottle of root-beer, sarsaparilla, birch-beer, ginger-ale, strawberry soda, or lemon soda for 15c; 2 bottles for 25c. JOHN EGER. A Classified Adv. will find it

uates of St. Joseph college and also of the seminary. The new head to the institution will proceed along the most progressive lines, laboring toward the building up of a very large college here and this year will spend about $75,000 in building improvements, Involved in these improvements will be a feat of mechanical engineering never undertaken In Jasper county and probably very few times in Indiana. The plan has been approved by a Chicago engineer and will doubtless be carried out. lit is to raise the gymnasium building twelve feet and construct a first floor underneath. The building is a massive brick structure and to persona not versed in engineering the task of jacking it up twelve feet would look quite out of the question. This will put the gymnasium on an upstairs floor, while beneath will be placed bowling alleys and other gymnasium equipment which could not be installed heretofore because basketball utilized about the entire auditorium. In the rear of the gymnasium will be erected a fine new science hall and beneath it a natatorium or swimming pool. The improvement will probably cost $75,000. The tuition will be raised some the coming year, but this is not expected to reduce the attendance, and, in fact, the normal growth Is expected. Within another year or so other expensive buildings will be erected and the college so ably conducted for the past twenty-two years is certain to become one of the great institutions of learning In the Catholic church, a monument to his enterprise, his resourcefulness, his intellect and devotion.

INTIMATES THAT HE WILL ESTABLISH DITCH

Special Judge Also Says He Will Modify Some Assessments on the Ryan Improvement Special Judge Cunningham, of Kentland, who returned Tuesday to hear the argument in the Ryan ditch case, intimated from the bench Wednesday that he would find the ditch to be a public utility and that the benefits will exceed the costs. He also said that he would doubtless modify a number of the assessments with a view to their equalization according to the benefits possible to ensue from the construction of the ditch. He said that he would return to Rensselaer on July Bth to file his full finding. The Ryan ditch will cost about $300,000 and will be of even greater benefit in reclaiming swamp lands than was the Iroquois ditch. The source of the ditch is in Starke county and it cuts across a corner of Pulaski in reaching 'Jasper. Thousands of acres of low lands will be reclaimed and the benefit to cultivation will be enormous.

Karp Stockton, well known athlete of Monticello, and Miss Juniata Klngsbery Were married at Monticello Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock. Karp is now the director of manual tralnng at the high school of Whiting. The Monticello Journal says of Karp: “Monticello takes pleasure in claiming Karp as a home boy, as he is a well known Purdue athlete who made his mark In the high school athletic field before going to college and who steadily climbed higher, not only In athletics but also In his studies. He is a clean, modest fellow who is surely trying to make his mark in the world and gives fair prospect of reaching the goal. He is richly deserving of the young lady that he was won.

News and Editorials From The Monticello Herald.

There was an auction sale of sec-ond-hand automobiles at the Clifford garage Saturday, at which four machines were knocked off to the highest bidders as follows: A Buick to Thos. Spender at $250; a Ford to Wm. McCorkle at $225; an Overland to Ben Demary at $225; a Krit to Wallace Atkins at S4OO. All were five-passenger cars except the Kritt, which was a roadster. Misses Avallne and Geraldine Ktadig have had as their guests the past week five college mates from Northwestern University. During their visit they enjoyed a two days’ outing at Edgewater, where they had the time of their lives. The visitors left for their homes Monday afternoon. The class just graduated from the Monticello high school has left to the school a souvenir by which they will be remembered while time lasts by all who come after them. It is a hall clock purchased through EL H. Bowman, the jeweler. It has a beautlful mahogany case standing about six feet high and a set of West-, minister chimes which strike the quarter hours and plays a tune at the end of each hour. A more harfasome and appropriate gift could hardly have been selected. And now comes that Gary primary, which seems to be the limit. On the face of the returns several hundred more votes were cast in the democratic primary alone than were cast by all parties combined at the November election, and Tom Knotts himself got more votes in the primary than Taft, Roosevelt and Wilson combined in the presidential election. And yet people are clam; oring for the primary as a protection against fraud! Indianapolis, Terre Haute and Gary ought to be convincing proof that the primary Is a will o’ the wisp a means of political reform. After the tariff bill is passed then comes the currency question, and from the preliminary rumbling something is going to break loose when that question comes up. President Wilson has been regarded as a discreet man-thus far, but even some of his best friends'think that to flash the money question at congress right In dog days and with the “crossof-gold" orator sitting in the cabinet will be like striking a match in a powder mill. The president seems to think he can push his plans through without any disastrous consequences, but it is safe to say that if they go through without friction they will go through in Mr. Bryan’s way. The bulk of the democratic party believe yet that Mr. Bryan was right in 1896, and on any monetary* issue he ean swing congress as easily as he swung the Baltimore convention. With this condition of things President Wilson is a bold optimist if he really hopes for any salutary currency legslation at the present session. Shakespeare was a wise old bard but who would have thougth he could forecast so accurately the attitude of those present day statesmen who are clamoring for free trade on everything except the products of their own districts! Yet that is what he did in the play of Hamlet, as the San Francisco Chronicle points out: “Take the ease of those Louisiana democrats who are stark, staring mad for free trade as applied to all the industries of the north.and the northwest and yet want safe and sane protection tor the southern sugar industries. Are they not as Hamlet, who said: “I am but mad north-northwest; when the wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a handsaw.’ **
