St. James Mission Church Notes, Newland.

The dedication last Sunday of our little mission church attracted a great number of people to our town to attend the very impressive services which took place at 11 o’clock. Rev. Leo Spomhauer sang the high mass. Rev. I. Rapp preached the sermon: Rev. Nicholas Greive, who had been delegated by the Rt. Rev. Bishop for the purpose, blessed the church. Many other clergymen were present. After the services the ladies of St. James church, assisted by the ladies of St. Augustine’s church, served a dinner at Necve’s grove. They realized SBO from their meals. This with the collection taken at the church amounted to $125. The church as it stands now is free from debts, owing to splendid home missionary spirit by the members of St. Augustine’s church. It was through their assistance only that the founding and building of the mission was made possible. The members of the Newland Catholic church wish to use this opportunity express their sincere thanks to all who assisted and most especially to the members of St. Augustine’s church. There will be mass and instruction at Newland Monday, Sept. 18, at 8 o’clock.

HUGHES MAY STOP IN RENSSELAER

G. 11. McLain and D. D. Dean Write Letters Asking That Republican Nominee Stop Here.

Geo. H. McLain, republican county chairman, and D. Delos Dean, head of the young republicans of Jasper county have written letters to* Jesse Eshbaugh, chairman of the speakers’ bureau of Indiana, and Will H. Hays, state republican chairman, asking that Charles E. Hughes, republican nominee for president of the United States, speak in Rensselaer a few minutes Thursday morning, Sept. 21. Mr. Hughes is scheduled to open his speaking campaign in Indiana on that day and will be enroutc to Lafayette where he is to make an address. Mr. Hughes’ campaigning in Indiana lasts for three djiys and thirty-some towns are included in his itinerary. *He is scheduled to make his first speech in Indiana at Monon, where he will arrive at =8:30 and leave at 8:45. The Hughes special will arrive in Rensselaer at 8:00 a. m., and provided the Rensselaer committee is successful in their attempt to have the presidential candidate’s train stop here, it is probable that it will be for about fifteen minutes. An answer is expected frqm Indianapolis this evening or tomorrow morning, and provided the reply is favorable, Rensselaer citizens and many people from the surrounding towns and country will be on hand to hear him in his short address. Rensselaer has not had a presidential candidate in her midst for several years and this should prove to be a great treat. An excursion will be run from Rensselaer on the 21st to Lafayette, tne train leaving this cit' at 7:45, arriving in Lafayette at 9:00, making stops at all stations. The fare for the round trip from Rensselaer will be $1.50 and will be graduated from all intermediate stations. Many not going to Lafayette on this day will probably go to Gary on the 23rd, where Hughes will be for about two hours and a half.

WIDOWS TO RECEIVE INCREASE OF PENSIONS

New Bill Just Passed Gives Them *s2o Per Month Instead of sl2 Formerly Received.

A pension bill that has just become a law, increases the pensions of widows from sl2 to S2O per month. Widows who married after June 20, 1890, are not included in the raise. The bureau of pensions has announced that widows who are already on the- pension r.oll - and who are entitled to an increase undor the provisions of the law, will not be required to make a formal application, but will present their claims by writing a letter to The department at Washington, giving the number of their pension certificate, the company and regiment in which the soldier served, and'the writer’s full postoffice address. It is important to observe, however, that this applies only to those now on the pension roll. Claims of widows not now on the pension roll must be presented in the customary manner with an application, etc.
