Founder of Kenosha Christian Science
Church Sewers Her Connection
With the Mother Church
CHURCH SEEKS WORLDLY POWER.
Miss Clarkson States That She Can No
Longer Follow Mrs. Eddy in the
Course Now Being Taken.

Miss Elizabeth C1arkson, founder
and leader of the little sect of Chris
tan Scientists in Kenosha has severed
her connection with the mother church
and all other organizations in connec-
ton with the Christian Science re-
1igion.
Miss C1arkson has taken this action
after mature thought, but her decision
to retire will cause quite little stir in
the religious world of Kenosha.
Miss C1arkson has been connected
with Christian Science in Kenosha
since it's infancy. She came to Keno
sha some seven years ago and by hard
work she has been able to gather to-
gether quite number of the believers
of the teachings of Mrs. Eddy. But
the little band will meet in the future
without her, as she has severed her
connection with the mother church
and with the First Church of Christ in
Chicago.
Miss Clarkson was seen this after
noon and stated that she had been
largely Influenced in her action by her
brother who retired from the mother
church and the board Of lecturers some
three weeks ago. She said that, like
her brother, she felt that the teachers
of Christian Science today had wan
dered far from the original teachings
of Mrs. Eddy and had introduced into
the church so much of wor1dliness that
it was no longer able to fulfill the sa
signed. Miss C1arkson said that she
was still Deliver of the Science of
Health as the true Interpretation of
the bible, and that her heart was filled
with gratitude to Mrs. Eddy for the
great revelation she had given the
world, but she could not but see that
Mrs. Eddy and her followers were rap
idly going farther perhaps uncon-
sciously) from the teachings of the in
spiration which had been given.
AS to the result of the retirement of
Miss C1arkson on the church in Keno
s1a little can be said. Miss C1arkson
states that she is not making any eff
fort to have others of the followers
leave the church with her, but that she
will continue to practice science heal
ing for the present. AS to her plans
for the future, she has made no an
nouncement, but it has been stated
that she will join with her brother,
Judge Joseph Garrison, of Omaha, in
the formation of new sect which will
follow more closely the inspired writ
ings of Mrs. Eddy.
Mrs. Charles Pa1matier has taken
the place of Miss C1arkson as the
leader in the church in Kenosha.

George A. Newman, OF Merrill, Wis,
Demands, New Hearing on The
Estate of Trial Newman
MERRILL ATTORNEY UNDER FIRE.
Heirs of wealthy Kenosha Pioneer Claim
That w. Il. Flett of Merrill is with
holding SIS, 600 of the Estate.

George A. Newman of Merrill, Wis,
one of the residuary 1egatees of the
estate of Trial Newman a former
resident in this county has filed a petit
in the county court asking for admin
stration of the estate of the deceased
on account of the discovery of large
sums of money belonging to the estate
which have not been heretofore placed
in the inventory of the estate.
The complaint, which is filed by Mr..
Newman in his petition for a rehear-
ing of the estate. alleges that w. H.
F1ett we'll known attorney of Merrill,
Wis, now has in his possession funds
to the extent of $4,000 which are the
property of the estate, but which were
not discovered until after the estate
had been settled. According to the
statement of the petitioner, in 1887
Newman, who was then old and in
firm sent to attorney Fleet the sum of
$4,000 which was to be invested for
the benefit of Newman. Flett has had
charge of the money ever since and it
is alleged that the money has been
paying large rates of interest. Accord
ing to the alleged agreement between
Newman and F1ett, Newman was. 20
receive an interest of ten percent on
his investment and after this amount
had been paid the remaining profits of
the investment were to be equally di-
vided between Newman and F1ett.
Although the money has been in
vested since 1887 the petition alleges
that the entire amount of money re-
turned to the estate both as principle
and earnings has amounted to only
$4,000 and small amount of tax certi-
fcates. Newman demands that the
administration be re-opened and that
Attorney F1ett be forced to make some
report to the administrators of the
moneys which were intrusted to him
by the deceased.
Trial Newman was one of the
wea1thiest men who ever resided in
this county. He was of very eccen-
trio nature and made many strange in
vestments toward the closing days of
his life. His estate, which was pro-
bated in the county court of the
county in 1896, was estimated to be
worth at least 100000, $4,000 of
which was personal property.
None of the friends of Newman, who
reside in this city, had heard. of the
deal between him and Flett, but he is
said to have had dealings at several
times with Merrill attorney.
The case promises to be bitterly con-
tested, and it is said that the 1egatees
will claim $780, 600 from F1ett.
The case will come up for trial in the
county court during the March term,
at which time an examination of the
claims of Newman will be ordered
made.

Sixteen Young Girls Admitted to Guild of
Holy Child.

Last Saturday was the feast of the
Publication, and as this day IS the
anniversary of the founding of the
Sisterhood of St. Mary it is always
celebrated with appropriate ceremonies
in the various schools and institutions
connected with the order. At kemper
Hall it is of special Importance, being
the Sisters peculiar day, and all schol-
astic exercises are suspended. On this
day it is customary to admit new mem
bers to the guild of the Holy Child,
deeply impressive.
The first service last Saturday was
the admission of sixteen young girls
to the guild. Following this came the
choral celebration Of the Holy Com
munion, at II O'Clock, thee Rev Father
Larrabee, of the church of the Ascen-
sion, Chicago, being the celebrant.
The sermon was preached by Bishop
Nicholson, who chose for his subject
the lessons taught by the festival. He
dwe1t especially on the quietude of the
Virgin-the silence and reverence
which she exhibited on all important
occasions in her life, and her resigna-
ton to the will of the Almighty.
After the church services luncheon
was served in the refectory, at which
the Bishop presided. Many of the AS
sociate Sisters were in attendance.
When luncheon was over the Bishop
with the visiting c1ergymen adjourned
to the school par1ors, where an infor
NAL reception was held and the pupils
were given a chance to meet the
Bishop.
Among the c1ergymen present were:
Canon II. B. St. George, of Milwau-
kee, the Revs. J. Gilman and c. Good
gear, of Racine, c. L. Mallory, of Ke-
nosha, and T. Maryon, Chaplain of
the institution. The Associate Sisters
were represented by Mrs. Ranney, of
Chicago, Mrs. Becker and Miss More
house, of Milwaukee, and Miss Alice
French, of Kenosha.

Attorney Henry Hastings Asks for Con-
structiOn of Will of William
Thompson.
VALUABLE PROPERTY CONCERNED
Heirs of George Thompson Seek to Make
Good Their Claim to Valuable Prop
erty in the Town of Randall.

A petition has been filed in the coun-
ty court by an attorney representing
the heirs of George Thompson, late of
the town of Randall, deceased, asking
the county judge to make a construc-
tion of the last will and testament of
the late William Thompson and settle
the question as to the ownership of the
eighty-acre farm which was left by
William Thompson at the time of his
death in 1865. The will which is thus
called into question is a most peculiar
one and admits of wide conjecture as
to the manner of the discovery of the
ultimate heirs. The will is made out
in the old style and starts out: SIN
the name Of God, Amen!' and 81, the
testator, being of sound mind and body.
and in love and charity with all men,
do bequeath," ETC., etc.
The will gives all the property to one
Robert Richardson, of Burton, ILL.,, to
hold the same in trust for the son of
VIM. Thompson, George Thompson,
who was regarded as of unsound mind
by the testator. It also gave a certain
sum to sister of the testator, which
was to be paid annually until the time
of her death. The will was regularly
probated, but long after the death of
the elder Thompson an unexpected
event happened in the marriage of the
surviving son. More lately the son
has died, leaving behind a number of
children who the attorney claims shall
share in the estate.
Henry Hastings has been appointed
administrator of the estate of the son
and he is now seeking to discover
whether the land in question is a part
of the estate, or whether it shall still
remain in trust as the property of Rob-
ert Richardson. A strong fight will
be made both by the heirs of Richard
son and by the sisters and brothers of
George Thompson to secure control of
the property.
It is alleged that the intention of
VIM. Thompson was to give the prop
erty as support to his son, whom he
considered incabab1e of making 1iv-
ing, and on this account the other heirs
claim that the property should revert
to the heirs of Vim. Thompson
The farm in litigation is one of the
most valuable in the town of Randall
and is said to be worth a large sum Of
money.

CABLE ALL THEIR WIRES.
wisconsin Telephone Co. Started Today to
Gable All Their Wires In this City.

The Wisconsin Telephone Company
placed large force of men at work in
this city this morning with orders to
cable nearly every wire used by the
company in this city. This means that
all overhead wires in the city will be
done away with and their places taken
by large cables carrying one hundred
wires each. The men who are in
charge of the work state that this &C
tion of the company has not been
forced by the fight of the Council
against the company, as the company
had planned to place the wires in ca
b1es before any objection was raised
to thespoles. They claim that the ca
b1es will clear almost every building
in the city and can not be of any detri-
ment to fremen.
The orders to the foremen are that
every street on which are stretched
forty-eight wires or more shall be
cabled. This means that cables will
be placed on all but the side streets.
Main street will have two cables each
holding hundred wires, and this the
company thinks will be sufficient for
the use of the business district for
many years.
The managers of the company were
astounded by the demand of the Coun-
Gil to have the wires placed under
ground, and they declare that this is
the first time in the history of the
company that so small town has
made such demand of them.
According to the claims of the man
ayers if the wires are placed under
ground it will necessitate the erection
of telephone building in Kenosha.
To do this and to complete the work
would require two years of labor and
an immense expenditure to them.
The company is evidently badly
scared by the determined action taken
by the city, and they will be expected
to make greater concessions to Keno
sha before the incident is considered
closed. .......

A PLUCKY WOMAN.
Miss Celia Johnson of This City Refuses to
be Held up by Chicago Thugs.

be Held up by Chicago Thugs
Chicago hold-up men are still at
work on Kenosha citizens and the
latest victim is Miss Celia Johnson
who was visiting friends in Chicago.
She met the hold-up man Sunday even
inh and the following account of the
encounter is given by the Chicago
News:
Miss Celia Johnson, of Kenosha,
Wis, after a few days visit to Chi
cago, says she has formed an impress
sion of the city which is just as bad as
the tales she has heard in her home
town. The reason for her dislike is an
adventure which she had with a hold
up man last night. Miss Johnson has
been visiting her sister, Mrs. Robert
Heaster of 6123 Carpenter street, for
the last three or four days. Last night
she was returning from the evening
service of the Swedish Baptist church
at West 61st and Green streets about
$50 O'Clock, she was attacked by a
rufian, who grabbed her arm and
attempted to snatch the pocketbook
which she had in her hand. Her cries
brought assistance and the thug es-
capped.

The RESi0NA ,iON OF COMP.
IROLtER DAWES.

The action of Charles q. Dawes In re.
signing the Office of Comptroller of the
Currency while seeking election to the
United States Senate from Illinois Is
highly crcditablc to his sense of politi.
cal prOpriety and will command un.
qualified appreciation.
1t was plainly obvious to Mr.. Dawes,
as well as to others. that he could not
conduct an active canvass for the Sen.
atorship in Illinois and mt the same
time give all his attention to the i'm.
portant duties and responsibilities of
his Federal position Mt Washington. A
realization of this fact has not always
impelled public men to relinquish the
one Office while seeking another. As a
matter of fact. the discernment of the
plain proprieties In n matter of this
kind Is not SO keen with the average
politician that he would see anything
improper or inconsistent In drawing the
salary of the Comptroller Of the Cur
rency while standing as a candidate fol-
the United States Senate. Indeed. most
politicians would not only cling tena
ciously to the Federal office but would
use II industriously and cleverly to pro
mote their Senatorial canvass.
During the three years that Mr.
Dawes has held the office Of COmptrol
