The venerable Father Stephens was in town several days since last week, arranged for the proposed Catholic Indian School. He was pastor of the Catholic church and direetpi, of the orphan asylum, at this place, 15 or 20 years ago, and and was very popular among all classes of our people.

The first loan sold by the Reinington Building & Loan Association brought 14| per cent, premium, and a prominent member says higher exceptjthat a lady member took the loan and other members were averse to bidding against -her: —Tinrrate as interest charged bv the Remington Association,,on loans, is 8 per eent/Jvhich is two per cent; higher than the Rensselaer Association’s rftte. This fact alone ougfattoiaake the lattp{’p loans cqqunand p,\ much higher, premiuni than the former’s.

AN INDIAN SCHOOL

A Big Institution Coming and More to Follow. The Republican is now in & position to announce definitely that a large; and at the same time unique, educational institution, is to be located at Rensselaer. This is neither more nor less than An

Indian school, under the cpntrbi of the National Bureau of Cathoic Indian Missions. The Bureau has purchased from Bishop Dwen<gei? the west half of the section of land just southwest of town, formerly attached to the Catholic Or r phan Asylum, and also another 80 acres making 400 acres, in alh All the stock, grain Ac on thejfarm has also been purchased, SIO,OOO in cash, having been paid tor the and and other property conveyed, "his point has been selected for ;he location of this institution brough the good offices of Rev. . father Stephens, who passed several years here in charge of the Orphan Asylum, some 15 or 20 years ago, and who now has general charge of the Catholic Bureau of Indiah Missions, throughout the country, With head quarters at Washington D. C.

The Institution to be located here will be under the direct supervision of Rev. Geo. L. Willard, formerly of Washington, Who will remain here permanently. The school will have constantly

in its care about 50 Indian boys, of from 15 to 18 years old, and selected from among the most promising pupils of the Catholic Indian schools of the whole west. The boys will be trained with the special view of making them good farmers, capable of leading and instructing the other members of their respective tribes, in ways of peace and civilization. Ten or 12 young white students will also be educated at the institution and assist in the training of the Indian boys. There is plenty of money back of this institution. It having been richly endowed by wealthly Catholics the chief of whom being, we understand, ah enormously wealthy Catholic lady 1 , of one of the eastern cities.

* The work of erecting the necessary buildings for the institution will hegin immediately and it is expected to have everything in running order by the Ist of July. The buildings will cost from $15,000 to $20,000. To give an idea of the opinions entertained by other towns as to the desirableness of this institution we can say that Father Willard lately advertised in a Chicago paper for a location for it, not more than 60 miles from Chicago, and he deceived answers from upwards of 80 different towns. AnCther institution which may be counted upon as a certainity, eithet this year or within a very few years, is a preparatory school for young men, educating for the Catholic priesthood. This will be located on the east half section of the old Orphan farm, and be under the management of the Catholic order known as the Order of the Precious Blood. This will probably be a larger institution than the Indian school, When established.

t I f We regret to learn that Joe Anderson has decided -to remove his cigar factory to Plymouth, the first c>£ next menth. Mr. Anderson claims thst cigar dealers here have not given him the encouragement which he feels entitled to expect. We do not know' how much justice there is in this view of the case, but we do know that if the merchants of our towp are properly alive to their own interests they will be ready, at all times, to give every reasonable encouragement to home industries, of all kincis.

Thad. P. Varney, an actor of long and successful experience and especially eminent as a comedian of: .high, order, is thoioughly drilling a company of young people her© for the production during two. evenings next of the Spldier of the Union.” It is produced .under the auspices of the local camp of the Hons of \eterana end fortire Iseueftrof their relief fund. The object is good and the entertainment will also be good, we have no doubt, and well deserving of a liberal patronage. - The announcement arvdbilL of the ploy appear I in another place in this issue of The Republican.
