Telegraphic Reports From Many Parts ot the Country. SHORT BITS OF THE UNUSUAL Happenings in Distant and Nearby Cities and Towns.—Matters of Minor Mention From Many Places. br. Rudolph Stoltz New Member of St. Joseph's Faculty. Sedalia Daily Capital, Aug. 29, 1914.—-Rev. Father Rudolph Stoltz, assistant pastor of Sacred Heart cnurch, has been selected as a member of the faculty of St. Joseph’s college at Rensselaer. Ind., and will leave for that place on Wednesday, September 2, so as to be in time for the opening of the fall and winter term of that institution. The above information was given a member of the Capital staff last evening by the Rev. Father S. Neiberg, pastor of Sacred Heart church. Rev. Benjamin Alt, C. PP. S., who for some time has been assistant pastor of a congregation in Ft. Wayne, Ind., has been selected to succeed Rev. Stoltz. He will arrive in Sedalia on Sunday, September 6, taking up his duties in his new field of labor at once.

The departing priest will preach bis farewell sermon at the 10:30 mass next Sunday morning. Father Stoltz came to Sedalia seven and dne-half years ago from Collegeville, Ind., several months after his ordination to the holy priesthood. He succeeded Rev. Theobald Right, C. PP. S., as second assistant pastor and upon the removal of Fathei Christian Daniel to Indiana some five years ago, Rev. Stoltz was selected to fill the vacancy of assistant pastor caused by Father Christian’s removal.

While second assistant pastor Father Stoltz had charge of the parishes at Clifton City, Versailles, Cole Camp and other nearby towns, and no priest ever formed a larger circle of friends while on these missions that did Father Stoltz. During his time as assistant pastor of Sacred Heart parish he has been a tried and true friend to those in need and distress. Particularly to the sick has Father Stoltz given his time and attention, and many a night in winter oi summer he has answered the call of a dying parishioner. Besides doing much toward the spiritual welfare* of Sacred Heart parish, Father Stoltz has formed the

Young Men's club, composed of the youths of the parish, thus aiding greatly in molding the character of their future lives. The members of the parish, while they will greatly regret to see Father Stoltz depart from their midst, will wish him all possible success in his new field of labor.
