One of the largest concourses of people that has been in the city this year gathered to witness the ceremonies, which were conducted by Rev. F. P. Kervick, the pastor. The singine was done by a choir of Indian girls from Avoca. Quite a number of Catholics from the surrounding counties were present. The corner stone was placed in the southeast corner of the wall and was a beautifully cut piece of pipestone. Among the articles placed in the stone were a list of the members of St. Leo's church, a list of the United States, state, county and village officers and copies of the Pipestone papers. The second annual Catholic fair opens at Oper Hall Monday, Nov. 7, and continues one week.
