Wells of McHenry will take care of Dr. Mueller's patients daring the latter's stay at Ftort Sher­ idan. Rev. Nicholas Smith has returned to Oklahoma after a pleasant visit with relatives til and. around Johns- burg. f Very satisfactory progress is being made on the installation of the new boilers at St John's church and the workmen employed expect to finish up shortly. The old as well as the young are invited to the harvest festival and hard time dance, which is to take place at the parish hall here on Wed­ nesday evening, Sept. 29. A good time is in store for all. The event is given for the benefit of St. John's Catholic church. N Dr. Arnold Mueller is now at the war school at Fortr Sheridan, III., where he will remain for a month. Altho the popular doctor's sympa­ thies are for Germany in the present European trouble, his present actions show him to be for America first, last and all the time. An infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Miller, who reside west of this place, was buried here at nine o'clock this morning. The infant was born on Monday morning of this week and passed away the following day. Mr. fend Mrs. Miller have the sincere sym­ pathy of our people in this, their sad hour of bereavement. Those from here who accepted line invitation and motored to West Brook­ lyn, 111., on Sept. 15, were the follow­ ing: Messrs. Mathias Schmitt, Joe Schmitt, Stephen Schmitt, Joe Nett, Nick Nett, John P. Lay and Joseph F. Schmitt. These gentlemen are members of the Johnsburg* Saenger- bund, a singing society, which has made quite a reputation for itself in and around this place. Word has just reached here to the effect that Frank Smith of this place came very near losing his life in the harvest fields of North Dakota re­ cently. Mr. Smith, who is employed on the Nick Freund place near Hope, N. D., was driving a corn binder when the accident occurred. It seems that while thus engaged something went wrong with the driving chain and Mr. Smith was in the act of adjusting the trouble when the horses suddenly started up. Mr. Freund, who was near at hand when the accident oc curred, ran to Mr. Smith's assistance and stopped the horses, but not until the victim had lost the index finger of his right hand and also received severely painful body bruises. Had it not been for Mr. Freund's prompt action there is no telling how seri ously Mr. Smith might have been hurt. The patrons and our citizens in gen­ eral are sorry to leafij that the Johns- burg creamery will close on Oct. 1 The Johnsburg concern is owned by the Weiland Dairy company, which also has a large pjiant at Spring Grove. Just why the officials of the company have decided to close the plant here is not known, altho it has been hinted that the Spring Grove plant will be able to supply the de­ mand for the Weiland product for the next six months at least. The plant here has been receiving about 8000 pounds of milk and the patrons have made arrangements whereby their milk will be delivered to various plants around here. Some will go to Ringwood, othlrs to Spring Grove, while some will go as far as Grays- lake. Peter J. Williams, who has had charge of the Johnsburg factory ever since the Weiland people came into possession of same, will remain at the plant for the present at least, and as to his future plans he is still unde­ cided. . Confirmation at West Brooklyn Sept. 16, 1916, was a memorable day for our little city, for on this day the Right Rev. Bishop Muldoon of Rockford was to , confirm. over seventy boys and girls of St. Mary's parish. A delegation of Foresters went to Sublette in their autos to bring the prelate to West Brooklyn. At the entrance of the town the con­ firmation class and local court of For­ esters received the bishop and visit­ ing clergy, and forming a long line marched to St. Mary's rectory. Tho the weather up to- this had been very bad, now the sun came forth and made the scene one of brightness and joy. The services started when the bishop, in his episcopal raiments, and the clergy, in their vestments, left the rectory, going to the church, es­ corted by the girls In their pure White dresses, relieved by the somber black of the boys and the regalia of the Foresters. At the entrance of the procession into the church the processional "Ecce Sacerdos" was intoned by the male ctioir from Johnsburg, under the di­ rectorship of Mr. Joseph F. Schmitt, a noted organist and authority on Gregorian chant. Amidst the swell­ ing tones of the organ and harmon­ ious sounds of this great anthem the procession arrhed at the altar, when after a short prayer the bishop gave to the young in particular and the people assembled in general a stir­ ring explanation of the coming cer­ emonies. It is teeldom that the peo­ ple of West Brooklyn have a chance to listen to such eloquence and so very little of the discourse was tost by the audience, After a solemn "Veni Creator" by the choir, the bishop conferred the sacrament of confirmation, assisted by the Revs. F. S. Porcella, Maytown, and D. J. Sheehan, Polo, as deacon and sub-deacon, respectively; Revs. J. J. Flanagan, Rockford, and C. F. Con- ley, Walton, as master of ceremonies and arch priest; Revs. Thos. Cullen, Amboy, P. H. McKeon, Harmon, as assistants. Mr. Aloies Graf was honored with being named as spon­ sor for the boys and Mrs. C. A. Jean- blanc acted in the same capacity for the girls. The blessing being given to the recipients of the sacrament, |be bishop gave to them and the whole parish a succinct and plain state ment of their duties and obligations as practical Catholics. Incidentally he mentioned the necessity of a Catho­ lic school as a prime necessity to up lift and up-hold a good, moral, pros­ perous citizenship. After rendering a beautiful four- voice hymn, the solemn benediction took place with his lordship as cele­ brant. After this, at the intoning of the "Te Deum" the whole congre gation rising joined in this song of thanksgiving and kneeling down re­ ceived the episcopal blessing while the bishop passed down the aisles of the church, returned in solemn pro­ cession to the rectory, surrounded by the clergy and accompanied by the children and Foresters. At the en­ trance to the rectory the bishop turned around and spoke to both the children and the Foresters, compli­ menting and encouraging both, en­ dearing himself thereby to the whole congregation by his unusual democ­ racy and kindness. The distinguished party thereupon partook of a bountiful supper (ban­ quet is a better name), which, accord­ ing to its participants, on account of the beauty of arrangements, its har­ monious blending of colors, of the eat­ ables and its serving, reflected the greatest credit upon the chef, Mrs. M. Holzshuh, Chicago; Miss Mary Schmitt and Mrs. Ifenry Kinkelaar of this place. The guests expressing the wish to have a picture taken of the table, Rev. C. F. Conley complied with the request. Great appreciation must be given to the choir, which traveled by rail, partly by auto, over terrible roads from McHenry to enhance by their Gregorian chant the solemnity of the occasion, also to the local court of Foresters and J. H. Dinges for their willingness to decorate the church and bring the bishop and his party from Sublette in autos and again to Lee at the conclusion of the ceremonies. Never in the history had the altars shone in greater splendor than on this occasion; so much, in fact, that after supper a party of priests went over to the church to admire and at leisure enjoy*the beauty of these altars, and at their return many kind words of praise were given Miss Schmitt for her good taste and love of beauty. This day, no doubt, will long re main in the memory of old and young as a red letter day in their lives and incite them with the words of wisdom spoken to them ringing in their ears, to produce works of godliness and piety at home and all around them.
