Respectfully,
WALTER O.. KRAF,
WILL ANSWER INGERsOLL.
DR.. John P. D. John to Deliver HIS Fa-
nous Lecture in This City.

nous Lecture in This City.
The people of Kenosha a short time
ago had the pleasure of listening to an
address by the1ate Robert J. Ingerso11,
and in the next week from the same
platform will be heard a speaker who
comes to refute the arguments of the
late agnostiC.
This speaker is Or. John P. D. John,
who will lecture at the Opera house
next Monday evening on the subject:
''Did Man Make God or Did God Make
Man?' DR.. John is the ex-president
of De PAW University at Greencast1e,
and has made an international reputa-
ton as a speaker and a thinker. He
has delivered his lecture in ali the
large cities of this country, and in
every city the press has given the lee
ture and lecturer the most hearty en-
dorsement. The doctor is pre-emi-
nent1y a thinker, his arguments are
strong and his logic convincing. He
is fair, fearless, candid and courteous,
and possesses the rare gift of clothing
great thoughts in simple language,
which holds his audience with a mag
netic touch.
Everywhere he has been favorab1y
received and the beautiful word pic
lures of his lectures 1inger on the mind
long after the personality of the speak
er is forgotten. The people of the city
should realize this great opportunity
and pack the house on next Monday
evening.

WANTS TO SETTLE.
Attorney of VIM. Kusmeyer Writes His
Creditors at Union Grove a Letter.

The farmers of Paris and vicinity
are still discussing the departure of
William KusmeYer, owner of the big
creamery of that place, but infor1na-
ton has been received from his attor-
neys and it looks as if the gentleman
would settle every dollar he owes. A
letter which has been received by a
number of the creditors in Paris is as
follows:
Dear Sir: You are probably aware
that Mr.. William Kusmeyer, of Union
Grove, has of late been having more
or less financial embarrassment. He
has during the last few days been hard
pressed for money and is compelled to
call halt until he can ascertain lust
what he is able to do. He cannot pay
everyone in full forthwith, but be-
ieves he can do so if given an oppor-
tunity. If he is pressed he will be
compelled to take advantage of the
bankruptcy law, but if his creditors
will give him a chance he can recoup-
crate himself and pay them ali in full.
[ have suggested that he make the
offer of giving each of his creditors a
note for the full amount due, payable
say six months or before and after
date. He feels confident that if ar
engagements are made on such a basis
that he can pull through.
Kindly advise me by return mail if
you will accept such note in settle
ment of your account. If your answer
is favorable will see that you receive
the note without delay. Kindly state
in your answer what the correct amount
due you is. Respectfully,
WALTER @. KRAFT.
Attorney and Counsel at Law.
The creditors will have little meet
ing to discuss the matter. The amounts
due farmers for their milk is estimated
at between $4 900 and $4,000. Letters
received at Union Grove by Mr.. Klus-
meyer state that he will be at the grove
today or tomorrow to talk the matter
over. It is believed that arrangements
will be made so that the creamery can
continue.

FARMERS ARE EXCITED.
over the Departure of William Klusmeyer
of Union Grove.

of Union Grove.
Many farmers in and about the viii
lagos of Union Grove and Paris, Keno
sha county, are considerably agitated
today over the departure of William
K1usmeyer, who owned and operated
the big creamery at the Grove. The
gentleman went away last Thursday,
taking with him, it is alleged, three
horses, but sold carriages and other
property before he went. What
troubles the farmers is the fact that
there is due them from S3, 900 to $4,000
for milk and they have no assurances
that Mr.. Klusmeyer is coming back to
pay them, in fact no information can
be obtained from his wife and children
who are still at the Grove.
About one year ago the creamery
was owned by a couple of prominent
men of Racine county. The farmers
were not satisfied with the prices paid
for milk and they sold out to Mr.. K1us-
never and he started in to run it and
paid good prices for milk. The cream
cry property, however, which is prob
ably worth $1,000, is mortgaged for
nearly the amount.
Mr.. K1usmeyer also owned a cream
cry at Paris, this county, but sold this
out about a week ago.

St. Georges Congregation Held the
First Services in Their New
Society Hall Sunday.
A LARGE CROWD ATTENDED

AT the Opening Services Speeches Were
Made by Many Distinguished Guests
Prom Other Cities-The st. A1oys1us'
Young Mems Society Present Four act
Comedy to Large Audience in the Eve
ning-Descript1on of New Building
The doors of the new society hall of
St. Georges congregation were thrown
open to the public for the first time
Yesterday and IN honor of the event
nearly ali the members of the church
turned out to give thanks for the COM
p1etion of so beautiful an edif1ce.
The work on the hall was not finish
ed until Saturday night and the first
service was held Sunday afternoon,
when a meeting was held for the bene-
fit of the children. 1t was the first
meeting IN the new hall and nearly all
the young people of the large church
society were in attendance.
The first real service was held in the
evening, when the dedication took
place. The pretty little auditorium,
with a seating capacity of nearly six
hundred, was packed to the doors.
Many guests from other cities were in
attendance. The services were short
and very enjoyable. The music was
furnished by Stemm Bros full orches-
ira. The exercises were opened with
an address by G. T. Stenm in English,
in which the speaker told of the con-
struction of the hall and the purposes
for which it was erected. He also
made an appeal to the members of the
congregation to pledge themselves to
raise all the money necessary to pay
for the completed building, and the
applause which greeted his words gave
assurance that the debt will not be
held long by the congregation.
Following Mr.. Stemm, Father Held
mann, of Chicago, spoke in German.
He was followed by Father Mayer and
ex-Mayor Ado1ph Weber, of Racine.
Ali the speakers were well received.
The second part of the program con-
sisted of a four-act comedy, '"The
Stupid Joseph, which was presented
in a pleasing manner by the members
of st. A1oysius' Young Mems society,
assisted by a number of their lady
friends. The leading roles were taken
by Miss Mary Muessler, J. B. Mayer,
Jr., and M. Joachim, and their success
is testified to by the rounds of applause
which greeted the performance. The
play was beautifully put on, all the
costumes and scenery having been
loaned by the Pabst theatre of Mi1wau-
kee. The full cast of characters was
as follows:

The Democratic Council are to be
congratulated on the very clever way
in which they have backed out of the
high and mighty position they assum-
ed a few weeks ago in regard to the fire
department. We give them credit for
seeing the danger and hiding them
selves as soon as possible even if a
little crap fishing was necessary.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1899-11-09

Following the performance the mem
bers of st. A1oysius' society gave
little informal social to their friends
in the basement of the hall. About
fifty members of the yonng mems So
Cieties of Milwaukee came down in
special car to attend the opening and
they were the guests of honor at the
informal reception.
The new hall, which had been thus
auspicious1y opened for the use of the
societies of the church, is model one
for the purpose. 1t is constructed of
brick and iron and is fire proof, 1t is
three stories high and we'll fitted with
all modern conveniences. The lower
or basement floor is fitted up with a
large number of rooms for use of the
different societies. 1t also contains
living rooms for the janitor, large
kitchen and d commodious dining
room, a gymnasium, library, a bill
lizard room and several smaller rooms,
which will be used as meeting places.
The second floor is the auditorium. 1t
is pretti1y arranged and decorated and
has seating capacity of about six
hundred. At the west end stage has
been erected for the use of the societies
at the time of their public entertain
ments. At the east end are two re-
freshment rooms. On the upper floor
is one large hall designed for common
use of all the societies. The building
is heated throughout with steam and
lighted with gas and electric light.
Sanitary plumbing of the most APP
proved nature complete the equipment
of the building.
AS it stands today it has cost the
congregation little over So, 900 and
it is expected that the money to pay
for it will be raised before the opening
of the new year, The committee in
charge Of the building are to be con
graduated on the successful completion
of their 1abors.

TWO SMALL FIRES
Coal Stove Explodes at the Residence of

Coal Stove Exp1odes at the Residence of
Mat Reiplinger Early'Sunday Morning.
Quite an exciting fire occurred about
8 O'Clock Sundaysmorning at the resi-
dence of MatsReip1inger on the corner
of Park and West Main streets. The
fire was caused by an explosion of a
coal oil stove and for some time it
looked as though the flames would do
a great deal ofIdamage. The fire de-
partment hurried to the spot and soon
succeeded in extinguishing the fire.
The damage from the explosion will
be considerable. The.stove was COM
p1ete1y wrecked and the room in which
the stove was being used was badly
damaged.g The, entire loss of the fire
is reckoned at about $50, with little
insurance. The Housewives the prop
erty of Miss Conwe11 and was insured.

spark from a locomotive.

Too Much Careless Farmins.

When one observes the slipshod
methods employed by some farmers In
planting and cultivating crops such
as onions, tomatoes, cantaloupes ETC.,
it looks as th0ogh their efforts Were
bound to result In ahsol1te failure.
Only the most favorable conditions y
regards weather can prevent = tAilurs
for such people.
They seem to entertain the idea that
unless tomatoes, onions ETC., can b
grown with as little work a. . crop Of
corn they don't pay, and - long -
such ideas prevail they won't pay, for
failure will surely result. Common bus
iness judgment should teach one that
crops that yield 800 or 5000 per acre
will naturally require more labor and
expense than a crop that only yields
$40 or s15. The trouble appears TO
lie In the fact that as rule moro
ground is planted than can be prop
erly taken care of and while the farm.
er is over worked through the entire
season his crops do not receive the ~
tention they should and arc conse-
quently poor ones all around.
There is large profit in growing
tomatoes where there Is access 70 .
canning factory, but in order TO -
cure this profit the planting, culti-
waiting and irrigating must"bs done
thoroughly and Systematically. You
cannot set out tomato plantA irri-
gate them once, then leave them for
two or three weeks while you do 9th.
er work and expect any sort of = crop.
Strong, thrifty cabbage, tomato
and celery plants are being Furnished
for the farmers around Holly, and
every one Of them will grow II they
are taken care of as they should b.
Better neglect some Of your other
crops, If necessary, than these he-
cause successful croY this year win
not only give the grower good returns
for his labor, but it will demonstrate
the fact that such crops can be grown
here, which fact when once estab-
lish ed will treble the value OF every
acre Of land In the vicinity.
The Holly chieftain., 1899-06-16

One of our most industrious truck
men remarked the other dsy that
next year he intends to adopt differ
ent plans altogether In his work. He
planted about twice a. much ground
this spring as he can work - II should
be done, and as q result he ID working
himself almost to death, while his
mind is in a constant worry - ssein9
some Of his crop suffer froa want q
cultivation or irrigation. Merit yeae
he intends to reduce the acssage eoo-
siderably, being satis6sd from vean
OF experience that one aero we'll work
ed will produce moro money than I've
acres poorly worked.
The Holly chieftain., 1899-06-16

Right now is the time for tho farm
er to sit down and calmly figure ont
whether he will grow celery and to-
matoes or not, and how much Of each
he can take care Of. When this u
settled, go to work with = determin-
alton to do your part in the best pos-
sible manner, giving the young plants
your whole attention until they are
safely started. II you cannot do this.
1t will pay better to raise corn, cane
or something else.
