JOINS WITH DOWIE.
A. A. Stuffacher, of the Kenosha Gospel
Mission, is Added to the Hosts
OF Zion.
RESIGNATION is DEMANDED
Follower of the Divine Healer no Longer

The Kenosha Gospel Mission, with
headquarters in the Meyers block, to-
day finds itself without leader, for the
hosts of the "Divine Healer Dowie
have entered the little mission aud
claimed the secretary A. A. Stauffacher
as a convert, and on this account it is
reported that his resignation has been
demanded by the committee in charge
of the mission and was promptly pre-
scented and accepted

no way stop the continuance of the
mission, and, while no successor to
Mr.. StauffaCher has been selected the
work is being carried on under the di-
rection of the committee in charge.
The action of Stauffacher has caused
quite ripple of excitement in re1igi-
Gus circles in this city. He had been
in charge of the mission sinCeits open
ing several months ago and no objec-
tons had been heard as to the way in
which he carried on the work. A
short time ago, however, Mr.. Stauf-
facher became greatly interested in
the work of Dowie. Tracts in regard
to the faith became prominent in the
work of the mission. Large pictures
of the great congregation of Dowie
were hung on the walls and it seemed
as though the mission was rapidly be-
coming a second Zion. Nor was
this all, for Staufacher went to Chica-
go and joined the church of Dowie,
This was the last stone and the com
mittee and the patrons of the mission
refused to stand for it and at a meeting
of them the resignation of Mr.. Stauf
facher was practically demanded.
Mr.. Stauffacher was out of the city
today and could not present his side of
the case, but his friends state that he
will go to Chicago and will probably
be ordained as a elder" in the church
of God and sent as a missionary to
some other part of the country. AS
soon as possible a man will be secured
to take charge of the work in Kenosha.
The mission has proven great sue
cess and it is greatly regretted by the
leaders in the work that anything has
arisen to retard its progress.

SENDS DOG TO PHILIPPINES
Fred Gotttredsen Sends a Dog to Manila
to Assist in Carrying the Mails

There was a peculiar package went
out of Kenosha this morning. 1t was
large cage containing a fine water
spaniel dog and was addressed to
Judge Lorenzo Taft, in care of the
United States Commission in the Phil
ippines. On remote corner of the
cage was a little tag on which was
written ''From F. J. Gottfredsen, Ke-
nosha, Wis
OF course the sending of the dog
caused considerable comment and the
reporters of the city at once went out
on still hunt for Gottfredsen to get
the story of the canine. Gottfredsen
was found in one of the accustomed
haunts of the guild and as he had just
settled with Revenue Collector Mer-
ril1 for the interests of the Pabst
Brewing Company in Kenosha, Mr..
Gottfredsen was in an exceedingly
facetious mood. He was accosted by
the reporter in regard to the canine,
and giving the Collector a wild and
woo1ly wink told the story of the dog
as follows: IN
For some time the United States
Government in the Philippines has had
a great deal of trouble in securing the
delivery of mali at one of the little
stations in the Philippines. The coast
near the little town is exceedingly
rocky and it is impossible for boat to
approach nearer than two hundred and
fifty feet from the land. The town is
surrounded by insurgents and on this
account it is impossible to reach it by
land. The only way to get the mail
ashore is to have a swimmer go out
and carry it in. Many lives have been
lost in this way, and as the population
of the town was rapidly being de-
pleted it was decided to secure dog
to carry the mail. The dog which
Gottfredsen has just sent to the is1ands
has a record as swimmer and it is
thought that it will do loyal service
for the government.
Now this is Gottfredsen's story. Of
course we can not doubt the truth of
it, but the readers may do as they
please about it.

that it is a surprise will make it all the
more welcome and, for that matter, all

DEMOCRATS MEET.
Nine Representatives OF Kenosha
County Democracy Meet in Con-
ventiOn at Court House.
SEVEN DELEGATES NAMED
Resolutions Adopted Endorsing the Can
didacy of L. G. Bohmrich for Dale
gate at Large 10 Kansas city.

Nine delegates representing the
Democracy of Kenosha county, met in
convention assembled at the Court
house Saturday, for the purpose OF
selecting delegates to represent the
county at the State convention Of the
party in Milwaukee on Tuesday next.
AS put by one of the leaders of the
party ''the convention was frost"
Forty delegates or more should have
been present at the Convention, but
when Chairman Slater reached the
convention hall he was the only man
present. Later the delegates came
until three towns and one of the wards
Of the city were represented by total
of nine delegates.
The names of the delegates who
have been placed on the list of the
faithful were: L. G. Bonmrich, John
Mcconnell, of Kenosha; K. K. Cass,
Ward Si1vernai1 and John Borhn, of
Salem; John Sherrin and Herman
Smith, of Wheatland; and Joseph
Huck and Nick Thomas, of Somers.
In the other towns and wards no eau
cuses were held, and no effort was
made to give the towns representa-
ton.
Calvin Stewart announced himself
as a delegate at large, but his claims
were not recognized by the Chairman
and the Convention, and he had no
voice in the proceedings.
The Convention was called to order
at 1880 by County Chairman Slater,
who was elected as Chairman of the
Convention. L. G. Bohmrich was Sc
1ected as Chairman of the meeting and
the routine work began.
The only business to come before
the convention was the selection of
seven delegates to the State conven-
tion and they we're elected by ballot
as follows:
John c. Slater, L. G. Bohmrich, A.
J. Burg, H Harbert, Edward Harring-
ton of Kenosha; Herman Smith of
Wheat1and and E. D. Castle of Bristol.
After the selection of the delegates,
resolutions were unanimously adopted
endorsing the candidacy of L. G..
Bohmrich for the position of delegate
large from WlSCOIlS1u 10 l1IC ANdlAO-
nal Convention and instructing the
delegates from this county to do all in
their power to secure the election of the
Kenosha man. MIR. Bohmrich who
was present made a speech thanking
the delegates for their endorsement
aud promising to accept the duties if
he were elected to represent Wisconsin
as delegate at large.
The convention then held a short
symposium in which the lack of in
terest displayed by the party in the
county was discussed pro and con.
K. K. Cass of Salem stated to- the con-
vention that the los of interest was
mainly resultant from the fact that
the recent reapportionment of the
delegates to the convention did not
give the country towns large enough
representation to keep up the interest
in politics. He moved that each town
have a representation of three in the
future conventions but the motion was
ruled out of order by the chair.
The convention then adiOurned

TAKES A FIRM STAND.
Mayor German States That he Will Veto
Railway Ordinance If Passed as it is.

Railway ordinance II Passed as 1t Is.
The chance of the passage of fran
chise ordinance in Kenosha during the
present year is growing beautifully
less as the days go by and yesterday
afternoon Mayor German made the
statement, to a representative of this
paper, that if the railway ordinance
now in the hands of the council is
passed it will be promptly vetoed.
Mayor German in explaining his in
tended action on the measure stated
that at present the provisions of the
ordinance were not what was desired
by the people of the city. He stated
that the paving clause in the ordinance
was not sufficient and before he would
consent to the passage of the ordi-
nance, the promoters would have to
arrange to pave every street passed
over or to pay into the city treasury
the sum of SIS, 900 or over.
"The ordinance as it now stands
said Mayor German, els class 1egis1a-
ton and if the company are DESTROYS
of doing the paving they must treat
all parts of the city alike. For my
part I should prefer that the company
paid the city cash bonus. The city
is sadly in need of money and if the
streets are to be sold it is only right
that the whole city should have the
benefit of il. With good bonus the
city could tide over the present
straights in the financial condition
and have some money left to pay on
the city debit
In regard to the passage of the ordi-
nance recently offered by the Mi1wau-
kee company Mayor German said that
he would not be in favor of the. passage
of such an ordinance unless the com
pany were willing to pay the city
bonus of $50, 600

I JUNE WEDDINGS.
Some Of the PerpIexftfes of Etiquette
That Cluster Round Them.

Some OF the PerpIexftfes of Etiquette
That Cluster Round Them.
June is the month of all months for
weddings, 10 other time being SO ia
vored as this season OF sunshine and
roses. Many perplexing questions of
etiquette cluster round the proper con-
summation of the momentous event
The Designer in discussing some of
them, says:
The "at home" cards of the bride
and groom are in this country some
times sent out with the wedding invita-
tons. In Europe this is never done, it
being obviously incorrect 20 speak of
"Mr and Mrs. Thomas Brown" before
the marriage has taken place. They
should, however, be sent out as soon
as the happy pair return from their
bridal trip in order that their friends
may know that they are prepared to
receive calls. Such cards should be
sent not only to the personal friends
Of both, but also to the friends of their
respective parents, even those who live
at a distance. The omission of this
delicate courtesy is always a mark of
ill breeding, though it is painfully com
mon.
Wedding gifts should be acknowledg"
ed by the bride to be as soon as con.
venient after their receipt. For this
purpose small sized note paper of good
quality must be used, with envelopes
to match. In each instance a brief,
but cordial, note is called for. 1t is
advisable to acknowledge all presents
before the wedding.
At an elaborate home wedding the
programme is very similar to that of
a church ceremony, the bride, who
advances to the improvised altar on
the arm of her father or nearest male
relative, being preceded by her brides
maids and met there by the clergyman,
the groom and the best man. After the
ceremony the newly married pair do
not separate, but receive the congratu-
lations of their friends while standing
side by side.
According to European usage, q maid
Of honor is not permissible when there
are several bridesmaids, this title be-
ing used only when the bride has but
one attendant. In other cases, the
bridesmaid who stands nearest the
bride in point of relationship is called
the "chief bridesmaid" and walks i'm
mediately behind the bride. The Ameri-
can custom, however sanctions the
presence of a maid of honor in add
ton to the bridesmaids, her place in
the bridal procession being Immediate
ly following the bridesmaids and pre-
ceding the bride. The pages, if any,
follow the latter, and so close the pro-
cession. A widow, at her second mar
riage, should have but one female at
tendant, who is called the maid of
honor, but she may be attended by
one or two pages.
GrOomSmeD are no longer included in
the list of wedding requirements, the
"best man" being considered sufficient
support for the most nervous of bride
grooms. In reforming the bridal pro
ceSsion after the ceremony, the bride
and groom leave the altar first, being
followed by the maid of honor with
the best man, then by the bridesmaids
and, lastly, by the pages, if any. If
the ceremony take place in church, the
bridal pair invariably leave the build
ing first and the brides parents next,
before either the bridesmaids or guests.
