Truth-Knowers Are Rejoicing.

In a conversation with B. S. L,an9
he told me he was going to Chicago to
meet DR.. Kheiralla, who has just re-
turned from visiting the fountain head
of that mighty and WOndrous order to
which the doctor and his followers
belong. Mr.. Lane said he was in hopes
of persuading the doctor to accompany
him to Kenosha and spending Sunday
at his house, meeting the Truth -H8ow-
ers, as there are about two hundred
who are believers in that faith. | said
to Mr.. Lane / had heard of DR..
Kheiralla and his religion, or theory,
and expressed desire to know more
about it. Mr.. Lane said / was mitaken
if presumed it to be theory, for, said
he, it is a demonstrated truth, GODS
ttuth) for the doctor proves every
statement he makes by every law
known to man. The theory is in the
religion taught in the churches today,
for they have been trying for hundreds
ofyears to demonstrate their teachings,
and they cannot prove one thing by the
bible, and Sc they are turning their
attention to teaching morality, that is
the best they can do. They cannot
explain any of the prophecies in the
bible, nor do they know anything about
the mysteries of the Kingdom of God,
that which our master, Jesus, the
Christ, came to teach. Now, if you
wish to know something about these
teachings, / will state that we believe
in one God, who is the creator and
saviour of all, and that Christ is the
greatest of all Gods creatures, and
God commanded his son, Jesus, to
teach about the mysteries of the King
dom of God, and that is what God sent
him for. Now, here are some of the
mysteries to learn: Something about
life, and where we came from, why we
are here, and where we are going, and
that we have soul, or to be able to
prove it. These are some of the mys-
teries that our Master taught his
disciples, and we are following his
method, that is, we teach in private, as
he did, for you know our master, Christ,
talked to tie masses in parallels, so if
you wish to know all about those mys-
teries it is to be had without money
and without price, all it costs is the
asking. The reason it is free, is
because God wants the poor to get his
truth as we'll as the rich.
Mr.. Lane seems to be very honest
and earnest in the work of spreading
the truth, for he holds his house open
to all, rich and poor alike, and seems
to be getting many people interested.

ROSIE wE1sUNG is FOUND.
Missing Girl Sends Letter to Her Mother
From Chicago.

Missing Girl SENDS a LETTER 80 her mother
From Chicago.
The mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of Rosie Weisung, who left
this city last Sunday and whose disap-
pearance has caused no end of trouble
for the relatives and friends of the girl,
was solved this morning when the
mother of the girl received letter
from her daughter. The letter was
mailed from Chicago, but no address
was given to show where she |as
living.
In the letter Rosie stated that she
had left home on Sunday evening and
shortly after had met Sam Rosso, a
worthless Italian, and the two had
gone to Racine where they hadsbeen
married later in the evening. The
girl also asked that the mother forgive
them, and said that they were ready to
come home again.
The mother was in frenzy when
seen by reporter this morning, and
between sobs she said that she would
have the child back if she had to cross
the ocean to find her. She said that
the girl was not in love with the Ital-
ian, but that he had exercised some
strange influence over her and had
forced her to do his bidding. She said
that the girl was only fourteen years of
age, and that no minister had right
to marry her to the Italian without the
consent of her mother. The woman
declared that she would kill Rosso if
he ever returned to the city.
The marriage of the girl and the
Italian marks the finish of one of the
most peculiar cases ever recorded in
this city.
The girl, who is nothing more than a
child, took a strange liking to the
italian who is worthless sort of a
fellow. A short time ago Rosso was
arrested on charge of committing an
assault on the girl, but she positively
refused to appear as a witness against
him. On this account the fellow was
dismissed and the girl stated that she
wanted to marry him. The mother
refused to give her consent to such a
union and it is supposed that the fellow
finally forced the girl to run away with
him. The police will attempt to bring
her and her Italian husband back to
Kenosha, and an effort will be made to
annul the marriage on the ground that
it was fraudulent.

TO FIGHT CHARGES.
C. H. GONNERMANN DEMANDS AN
INVESTIGATION OF CHARGES.
CHARGES MUST BE PROVED
Elk Alderman Will ask That an Uninter-
ested Committee Of Five Business
Men be Appointed to Look Into
Accusations of Bribery.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
trouble has been settled between the
Milwaukee Light, Heat & Traction
company and the city it is not likely
that the allegations made by the city
involving some alleged shady deals
between the company and a number
of the aldermen of the city will be left
lunproven. This afternoon as soon as
| it was announced that the company
had given up the fight, Chas. FL. Con-
hermann, eX- alderman, announced that
he would demand an immediate inves-
| tigation of the charges brought against
him in the answer filed by the city
through it's attorney.
EX- Aid. GOnnermann was seen, and
in speaking of the matter said that
there was positively no grounds for the
allegations made and he would force
the city council either to prove the
charges made or to be the defendant
| in a suit for libel. He said that he
would ask the council to appoint a
committee, consisting of three or five
well known business men, who would
have power to conduct a complete in
vestigation of the affair, and if the
city were able to furnish any evidence
in defense of the charges he was
willing to pay all the expenses of the
| investigation but it would then be the
duty of the city to take further action
i in the case. He stated that he had
made proposition to the other alder
men accused together with him but
they had not as yet decided to demand
an investigation of the statements in
the answer. If the council refuses to
act the aldermen will force some action
by means Of the courts. In speaking
of the settlement of the matter by the
company Mr.. Gonnermann stated that
he had hoped that the matter would
have come up for trial, in order that he
and the other aldermen would have
been given an opportunity to prove the
charges false.
He said the charges were not only
malicious but they had been brought by
some enemies of his who we're DESTROYS
OF injuring his character. Several of
the aldermen were seen and when
asked in regard to the demands of Mr..
Gonnermann they said that they did
not think that the council would be
willing to take any further action in
the matter. The attorneys refused to
talk on the subject. Ex-Alderman
Gonnermann seems greatly in earnest
and it is not improbable that thor
ough investigation will be made and all
the transactions in regard to the pas
sage of the ordinance will be made
public.

THE opal did it, That famous gem
is alone responsible for all the ills
which have recently befallen Spain.
The gift of a jealous, deserted woman
brought all the woes which have lately
visited the government of Spain. The
bride to whom it was presented as a
wedding gift died during the honey
moon, the grandmother to whom it
succeeded died, thereon, of small pox.
Throughout it's whole course the
wretched stone has bred disaster. The
defeat of Cervera and Montejo and the
fall of Santiago are all attributed to its
baneful influence. Watch it. Some
willy Spaniard may try to smuggle it
into the White House. If so, Uncle
Sam could use it against his enemies.
He could send it to Aguinaldo. What
a joke on Aggie!

Is HE to be fat or not to be fat, that
is the question? Two eminent French
gentlemen have fought duel over that
question, and one received a mortal
wound, out the question remains
unanswered. Was Hamlet fat or lean?
The bulk of the evidence goes to show
that he was. But that is only one
question. The other is, will the
Hamlet of the future be fat or will the
Hamlet of the future be lean? There is
no need Of fighting a duel over that
question. 1t is too easily answered.
The Hamlet of the future must and
shall be lean, that is to say, not fat.
We have no use for fat Hamlet. In
the first place it would not be roman
tic, and in the second place, at least
the average American theater goer
would not be able to reconcile a
Falstaffian gilth with the disposition
of the melancholy Dane. A fat Hamlet
waddling about the stage eXclaiming,
would that this too, too solid flesh
would melt, thaw, resolve itself into a
dew" etc, would appear to the
American people like parody. Be
sides Shakespeare has accustomed his
readers to regarding his thoughtful
men as quite the reverse of fat. No,
let the students of Shakespeare con-
jure up as fat man as they please to
impersonate their own idea of Hamlet,
but if those who present Hamlet on the
stage wish to enlist the sympathies of
the public, let them refrain from fatty
impersonation of the Prince Of Ien-
mark.

THE ENJOYS Of Aguinaldo have been
escorted outside the American lines
under flag of truce. They will take
their story to Aguinaldo and return in
the very near future, no doubt. Next
time they come, however, unless they
come prepared to do something more
definite than heretofore, it is likely
they will be returned to their leader
with few simple words, the meaning
of which even AguinaldO could not
mistake or misinterpret.

BLIND BOY A WONDER
FRANKIE RICHTER ASTONISHES
MUSIC LOVERS AT M. E. CHURCH.
CLASSICAL, POPULAR, GRAND
Stands the severest Test of Music-Names
Ten Keys Struck in Discord-Im-
promptu Composition Before the
Audience as an Inspiration.

The first entertainment of the blind
boy at Park Avenue church Thursday
night more than fulfilled the expecta-
tions of the music lovers who gathered
anticipating an exhibition of genus.
From the first tone struck to the last
the audience sat in wonder and delight
at the marvellous display of musical
gifts and powers.
We have read of the wonderful per
formances of List. Mozart, Beethoven,
Chopin, when children, but none of US
ever expected to have the opportunity
Of witnessing the display of such sur
prising genius. Those who heard
frankie Richter have an appreciation
of what it might have been. 1t is
difficult to conceive of any one being
more gifted in execution or compost
ton. Master Richter played from
Chopin, Beethoven, List and other
masters, together with several of his
own compositions. Scarcely anywhere
did his genius show to better advan-
tage than as accompanied to his fathers
violin solo, which in itself was a supe-
rior piece of execution-but an accom-
PIANIST of such delicate shading and
brilliancy is one of the rarest things in
music
The boys own compositions did not
suffer at all in comparison with those
Of the masters. The main program
was classical and every number was
heartily applauded.
The greatest surprises, however,
were not on the program. Mr.. Richter
announced after the last number that
his son would amuse the audience with
limitations of street piano and the music
box. The result convulsed the audience
with laughter. Then came the chal-
lenge for the severest test, Mr.. Richter
claims, that a musical ear has ever
stood. Any one was permitted to
strike discord, using all ten fingers,
with the promise that the boy would
name every key struck. Miss Stebbins
responded, striking five keys the first
time and seven the second, and they
were named without hesitation and
with perfect accuracy. Different tones
were called for by the audience, Master
Richter whistied each tone as it was
named and his father proved the
accuracy by striking the tone called on
the piano. At one time the father
struck the wrong key and the boy
turned quickly and struck the right
one. Any member of the audience was
then asked to play from 16 to 20 bars of
any piece of music. Miss Stebbins
responded and the boy played it i'm
mediately after her to the great aston
ishment and delight of all. Themes
were suggested and he improvised
upon them, and finally closed with one
of his own impromptu compositions,
which was the result of the evenings
inspiration.
Mrs. Tanner, who sang so we'll that
she had to respond to an encore, with
Miss Stebbins and many others had a
pleasant time talking with Master
frankie after the performance.
