PROGRAM AND LECTURE.

Much interest is being taken in the
program which has been arranged for
at the Congregational church on
Thursday evening. Attractive mu-
steal numbers will be rendered prior to
the address by DR.. D. T. Denrlan, of
Milwaukee. This will be followed by
a reception and sociab1e, the young
peoples society of the Congregational
church serving refreshments.
Four attractive programs of this ma
ture have been planned to be given
during the winter, the object being to
bring the people of the churches into a
more intimate fellowship, and to make
more efficient the effort of the church
es in the development of broader
spirit. A small expense has been in
Cured in their plans, and therefore
course tickets have been issued at 25c.
for the entire four programs. Single

Railway Promoter Weary OF Charges
Against Him Voluntarily Surrenders
to Cook County Officials.
IS GIVEN EVERY CONSIDERATION.
When He Formally Turned himself over
to the District Attorney of the County
No Bond Was Demanded of Him.

The capture of Gustav L. C1ausen in
Chicago, which was reported exclusive
ly in the News last evening, has caused
great deal of comment in Kenosha.
The details of the surrender of Clausen
were learned last evening when the
District Attorney went to that city to
make arrangements for the conducting
OF the case. Late Monday afternoon
Mr.. Clausen, accompanied by his attor-
neys, went to the Office of Charles S.
Deneen, district attorney for Cook
county, and Clausen announced that he
was DESTROYS of making settlement
of the case and for this reason he had
decided to surrender himself to the
care of the district attorney of Cook
county. Mr.. C1ausen expressed will
ingness to come to Kenosha and at
tempted to make dicker with Attorney
Deneen and his assistants for the
arrangement of the bonds. Not being
able to make this arrangement C1au-
seas attorney stated that he would at
once demand habeas corpus proceed
ings and Judge Kohlsaat was called in
and arrangements were made for d
hearing of the case tomorrow morning
The district attorney of Cook county
did not insist on m ore formal arrest
and Clausen was allowed to go without
bonds more than his own assurance to
Judge Koh1saat that he would appear
for the proceedings tomorrow morning.
The hearing of the habeas corpus
writ will probably be a short one. In
the contest Attorney Buckmaster will
be assisted by States Attorney Deneen
and Attorney Barnett, of Chicago.
