For more than twenty years, meat and other eatables, were dispensed to never-failing customers with a suavity and finesse that beggared description. "Bill" as he was known, was a stranger to sickness; always at his post, from eary morn to late in the evening, his business and patronage grew by leaps and bounds defying all competition. One thought of giant oak, or of endless streams: when they spoke of The Spearville Meat Market.

Suddenly it came; spinal meningitis, cruel and fierce in its onslaught. The shon was closed; the house was quarantined; twentyone convulsions; total unconsciousness throughout; three doctors, two three days of feverish restnurses; lessness, and Death numbered one more to the endless list. None were admitted to the house; private funeral; no "watch" o'er the dead. Wichita Monument Company Catholic Memorials a Specialty High Class, Meritorious Work- Prices. H.

568 Leavenworth Diocese Leavenworth Diocese a Special to the Advance. The order of St. Benedict this year celebrates its fourteenth centenary. It was founded by St. Benedict of Nursia on Monte Cassino in the year 529.

St. Benedict patriarch of the Monks of the West was born in the year 480 at Nursia and died at Monte Cassino on March 21, A. D. 543. The personality of this great saint was impressed on the celebrated rule which he gave to the monastery he established at Monte Cassino, and which bore such wonderful fruit in the spread of Monasticism which permeated the medieval civilization of Europe.

In the unification of Italy in the nineteenth century, the monasteries throughout the new kingdom were suppressed, but at the instance of gladstone, Monte Cassino was preserved as a National monument; with the monks as official caretakers. The library and archives of Monte Cassino are in importance second to none in Eurone. No Catholic that visits Italy should fail to visit Monte Cassino with its beautiful church and historic memories. Among the Benedictine Monasteries with a history of a thousand years those at Euisredein and Metten hold a prominent place. A folder published and distributed at St.

Benedict's Abbey, Atchison tells the following: Towards the close of the eighth century the Abbey of Metten in Germany was established. The house suffered much in the general dissolution by the civil powers in the eighteenth century, but experienced a happy revival in the beginning of the nineteenth. In 1846, a monk of Metten, Boniface Wimmer, together with a small band of monks, made the first Benedictine foundation in the United States, establishing himself in Western Pennsylvania. After years of pioneering and missionary labor, other houses were founded throughout the states, and the second of these daughter houses was in Kansas -St. Benedict's, Atchison.

Benedictines In Kansas Father Henry Lempke was the first Benedictine to touch upon Kansas soil. In 1856 he built St. John's church at Doniphan. In accordance with a suggestion of Bishop Vicar Apostolic of the territory, that the Benedictines established a house in Kansas, Father Augustine Wirth, 0. S.

and a seminarian, Casimir Seitz, 0. S. were sent out from St. Vincent in Pennsylvania, on April 1, 1857, to establish the Benedictines in Kansas. Father Augustine made a small beginning in 1857 at Doniphan.

But it soon became evident that the neighboring town of Atchison was destined to grow to considerable size, and Father Augustine took up his residence at Atchison in 1858, where an independent priory was erected which was raised to an abbey in 1876. Rt. Rev. Martin Veth, 0. S.

S. T. LL. was elected coadjuto abbot November 10, 1921. When death ended the long and fruitful career of Rt.

Rev. Innocent Wolf, 0. S. D. October 14, 1922, Abbot Martin succeeded him, becoming the second Abbot of St.

Benedict's Abbey and the sixth president of St. Benedict's College. Under Abbot Martin's administration two LEAVENWORTH, KAN. new buildings, the gymnasium and St. Joseph's hall have been erected.

The gymnasium, which is one of the largest and best equipped in this part of the country, was formally opened January 13, 1924. St. Joseph's hall, a rooming building accommodating about sixty students, was opened September 9, 1924. The Abbey Student Press, in charge of the Benedictine Fathers, occupies the ground floor of this hall. June 1, 1929, the Benedictine Community at Atchison comprised: Seventy-seven Fathers, seventeen Fathers Clerics, four Novices, seventeen Postulants, eight Brothers, one Brother Postulant.

The Fathers have charge of fourteen parishes, nine missions, three chaplaincies. These charges are in Kansas, Iowa, Missouri and Michigan. During the summer months they care for many parishes and missions in the neighboring dioceses, and conduct the St. Benedict's Summer school at Mount St. Scholastica College, Atchison.

The college course for Sisters and teachers conducted under the auspices of St. Benedict's College at the Sisters college will close the last week of July. Two of the Oblate Sisters of Providence of Leavenworth are in attendance. Two Oblate Sisters of Providence are also among the students in attendance at the summer session of 'the St. Louis University in St.

Louis, Mo. The Oblate Sisters of Providence will this year celebrate the centenary of their institution at Baltimore, Md. There are a hundred and fiftyfour Sisters in the community and twenty novices. Twelve Sisters are in charge of the Guardian Angel's Home and eight of Holy Epiphany Orphanage for girls in Leavenworth. The general chanter of the Cassinese congregation of North America brought together at Atchison during the first week in July delegates of all the Abbeys and nearly all the abbots who preside over the abbeys of this congregation in the United States and Canada.

The jubilee of two of the distinguished prelates was also a feature of the week's celebrations. Mother Lucy of St. Scholastica's convent is in Chicago this week where a chapter of Benedictine nuns are in progress. Claire Kennedy, Helen Thompson (Continued on page 5.)
