Bishop MCKim, of the Diocese of
Toxic, Speaks to the Members of
St. Matthew's Parish.
ANNUAL VISIT OF ARCHBISHOP
Nearly Four Hundred Young People Are
Confirmed as Members of the Roman
Catholic Churches in Kenosha.

A most interesting service was held
at st. Matthew's church Sunday morn
lug, the occasion being a visit from
Bishop McKin, bishop of the diocese
of Toxic, Japan. Bishop McKim is
one of the oldest ard best known
bishops of the Episcopal church and
none of the leaders of the church have
done more to carry the work into the
foreign countries. For the last twenty
one years he has been in japan work
ing among the Japanese, and only
once in three years he returns to this
country to attend the triennia1 meeting
of the bishops of the church. He will
remain for some time in Kenosha in
order to visit with his daughters, who
have been entered at Kemper Hall.
The sermon preached by the bishop
yesterday morning was a most inter
esting one and seldom has the cause of
missions been presented SO forcib1y in
Kenosha. The long experience of the
speaker made him speak as one having
authority. Bishop McKim holds that
the church has done a great deal of
good in Japan, but the work is only
begun and the future holds even
greater success in store. During the
last few years the Japanese people
have advanced rapidly in the eyes of
the civilized world and the bishop
holds that in the near future Japan
will be one of the greatest Christian
nations of the earth.
IF bo IF
Japan are Americans who have gone
to that country as missionaries and
remained to become the heads of
schools and colleges. The Christian
church has taken up the work of edu-
eating the japanese and in the last
twenty years the work has progressed
to such an extent that the prospects
are exceedingly bright.
The work of the diocese of Toxic, of
which Bishop McKim was the second
bishop, has been greatly extended in
the last few years until now it is one
of the most important dioceses of the
Protestant Episcopal church.
Annual Confirmation Services.
Archbishop Katzer, of Milwaukee,
was the guest of the Kenosha Roman
Catholic churches Sunday, the occa-
sion being the annual visit for con-
frmation of the young members of
the church.
In honor of the visit of the Arch
bishop special services were held in
both ST. Georges and st. James
church. The Archbishop presided at
the morning service at st. Georges
church ands class of oyer two hun
dred children were confirmed. In
honor of the event the church was
beautifully decorated and the little
children clad in their white dresses
made the scene a beautiful and i'm
pressive one.
In the afternoon the Archbishop
went to st. James church, where a
similar confirmation service was held
and one hundred and fifty we1e con-
firmed.
The annual visit of the head of the
diocese of Milwaukee finds the Keno
sha churches in splendid condition.
During the year both churches have
greatly increased their membership.

TRACE OF HOPKINS.
Painter Long Missing From Kenosha Is
Supposed to Have Been Located.

1t is reported in Kenosha this after
noon that Charles Hopkins, a former
we'll known resident who disappeared
from this city some three years ago
and who was thought to have been
killed, has been located and that he is
now living at Memphis, Tenn.
Hopkins disappeared from Kenosha
fully three years ago. He had been
painter and had a wife and large
family. Onelmorning he started to
Harvard, ILL.,, to accept a position and
this was the last heard of him until
the police received letter that man
ta1lying perfectly with the description
of Hopkins was working at Memphis,
Tenn. The search for Hopkins has
been a most thorough one and has
continued for two years without stop
ping. Two years ago the American
Painter, paper published in Chicago,
took upon itself the work of locating
the man and since that time the agents
of the paper have been tire1ess in
their search. It was through this
paper that the trace of the man was
secured.
Mrs. Hopkins will probably ask for
the arrest of aher husband on a charge
of abandonment and it is more than
possible that a more serious charge
will be brought against him. The
mystery of Hopkins has been the prize
mystery of the department for several
years but the officers believe that it
has finally been solved.

William Upton Proposes to Sell His
Residence and the Surrounding
Property to the City.
FOR POOR HOUSE AND HOSPITAL.
Asks the City to Pay Him Thirty Thousand
Dollars and Will Take Old Property
as Part PAYMENT.

The city has received a new poor
house-hospita1 proposition and the
latest man to come in the field to aid
the city in securing these two much
needed institutions is William Upton,
who today sent a proposition to the
City Council offering to sell to tbe>c city
his entire property between Garden
and Jenne streets for the sum of thirty
thousand dollars.
The property in question is one of
the finest pieces of property in South
ern Wisconsin. 1t embraces a little
over two acres and half of land and
is we'll improved with buildings. It is
the plan of Mr.. Upton to have the old
Upton homestead turned into an
emergency hospital and the house is
certainly eminent1y fitted for this pur-
pose. The house is one of the best
built houses in Southern Wisconsin
and at the time of its erection some
years ago it cost over twenty thousand
dollars. The house contains some
twenty rooms which are now fitted up
and the third story could be fitted up
so as to add many other rooms. It is
heat ed in the most modern manner.
It is ideally situated for use as hos
pita1, the house being surrounded with
grove which furnishes shade at all
hours of the day.
The other buildings on the tract of
land are cottage of six rooms which
could be utilized in caring for some of
the paupers dependent on the city and
the large barns which have been built
within the last few years. These
barns are so constructed that they
could be turned into a home for the
poor. The big buildings with a little
expense could be changed into poor
house containing some twenty or more
rooms. There is ample space about
the two houses to allow the cultivation
of large garden and a fine orchard
would furnishal1 the fruit needed for
the use of the paupers.
The proposition which Mr.. Upton
makes to the city is one worthy Of con-
sideration. His price for the property
is thirty thousand dollars, but in trade
for the property he agrees to take the
clay banks owned by the city near the
city cemetery on Ashland avenue, the
old engine house on Wisconsin street
and the city poor house property on
Washington island. For this property
he will allow the city the sum of
81, 500. The remaining $50, 500 can be
paid at the option of the city any time
within the. next twenty-five and one
half years, but it is stipulated that the
city pay to Mr.. Upton the sum OF
81, 900 year9and that interest be paid
on the remaining sum at the rate OF
four per cent per annum. Several mem
bers of the Council have been seen IN
regard to the proposition and it has
met with some favor. A committee
will probably be appointed to look into
the matter and the' proposition will be
taken up at an early meeting of the
Council.

DEATH OF FATHER sTRICKNER
Former Pastor of st. Georges Church
Passed Away at Monroe Saturday.


Members of St. Georges church in
this city have heard with sorrow of
the death of Father George Strickner,
a former pastor of the church, which
occurred at Monroe last Saturday
evening. The deceased priest was 65
years of age and had seen many years
in the service of the church. He was
pastor of st. Georges parish for three
years late in the seventies and was one
of the most aggressive priests in the
Milwaukee diocese. Father Strickner
will be long remembered in this city on
account of the fact that he was a
fighter. He was man of wealth and
usually supported himself, asking no
money from the churches with which
he was connected. During his pastor
ate in Kenosha he began a crusade
against the free and public dances and
for some years these dances were en-
tire1y forbidden to the members Of St.
Georges church.
For the past year Father Strickner
had been living in retirement at Mon
roe. The remains will be taken to
GAINESVILLE for interment, the funeral
to take place tomorrow. A number of
the members of St. Georges church
will attend the funeral ceremonies.

DENVER A MODEL LITTLE CITY
Some Interesting Points In Regard to
Colorado From the Pen of Cores
pondent of the Evening News.

Jefferson County, Colorado, Sept
23.-Dear Editor: Complying with
promise made before leaving Kenosha
I shall present your readers with few
facts concerning Colorado as 1t ap-
pears to me. Time and space will pre-
vent my giving anything more than
brief outline of the existing cond1-
tons, and yet it may suffice to furnish
the basis of future investigation.
In the first place but few persons
who are unacquainted with this country
hold any other than an erroneous idea
of it's vast resources and advanced
methods of civilization. The com mon
thought universally held by central
and eastern residents is that Colorado's
natural wealth is almost inaccessible,
that her people are behind the times
and agriculture an impossibility.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth. Mines are in constant operation
and the people are in many particulars
ahead of their eastern neighbors.
Agriculture would be dead letter
were it not for irrigation. This is
influence the land will produce an
abundance of crops. Oats yield from
so to 90 bushels per acre, wheat As.
The alfalfa crop is harvested three
times during the season. It yields
from AZ to tons per acre and sells
readily at from So to $9 per ton.
Timothy is a scarce article and cannot
be bought under SIS. All fruit is high.
Apples, though a plentiful crop this
season, sell at &c per Id; tomatoes bring
from 4 to 1c per ID. Everything is
sold by the pound. Coal can be bought
at the mines for $1.3O or So per ton.
Butter brings Csc per pound and eggs
ditto per dozen. Pork and veal are
worth about 1Oc a pound in Denver.
Land in this vicinity, about eight
miles from town, cannot be purchased
under $3.50 per acre. Property that
Kenosha County farmers would not
consider worth while looking at cannot
be touched under 5000 per acre. Wheat
is worth about ST. per hundred and oats
from $1.4O to $50.
The great beauty of Colorado is her
delightful climate. To d person &C
customed to breathing the heavy vapor
laden air of Eastern Wisconsin the
change is very noticea bic. The mo-
ment person enters the highlands OF
Colorado and fills his lungs with
mountain air he feels different being.
II is foolish to presume that there 'are
no invalids in this section of the
country. Every land has it's disad-
vantages as we'll as opportunities and
sickness cannot be entirely evaded
anywhere. But for any form of lung
or bronchial trouble 1 believe the free
air of Colorado will accomplish better
result than tons of medicine.
Denver is one of the finest cities in
the United States. It's houses and
large mercantile buildings are con-
structed mostly of red brick. The
streets are wide and clean. The popu-
lation numbers over $4,000 inhabi-
tants. Fraterna1 orders are very
numerous in the city, there being ten
lodges of knights of Pythias and
nearly two thousand members in the
Woodmen, besides many other So
cieties. Respectfully,
CONRAD SHEARER.

SARAH FLOWER ADAMS THE AUTHOR.

The author of the hymn "Nearer
My God, to Thee" is Sarah Flower
Adams, an English lady who was the
ward of the noted statesman, Fox.
The words were written in 1910, and
were set to music by Mrs. Adams sis
ter, Eliza Flower. Miss Flower was a
gifted composer, and her musical gen
Jus was recognized and praised by
Mende1ssohn, Robert Browning and
others. Yet the hymn was not popu-
lar until after 1860, when DR.. Lowell
Mason, of New York, composed for it
the music which at once won the
hearts of Christians in America and
Europe and made it favorite among
devotional hymns.

a carpenter named August Peterman,
claiming Green Bay as his residence,
was whipped and driven from the city
for saying that he chopped Mckinley

Spooner and La Toilette.

There are indications in the air that
an attempt will be made to get together
the factions of the Republican party on
a platform that will carry La Toilette
for governor and Spooner for United
States senator. It seems to an outsider
that such an alliance of conflicting in
terests would be impossible. An old
Republican who was in town recently,
in discussing the above phase of the
situation, said: 81 don't believe it could
be done if Spooner we're ever so will
ing. LaFol1ette is an Indian in his likes
and dislikes, and has hated Spooner too
long to quit at this late day, when there
is a eight on of the kind in which he
glories. In the first place the COVER
nor would rather fight than eat, and
in the second his peculiar glory is TO
fight Spooner now that Sawyer is
gone. Do you know what started him
after these two? Well, [ can tell you.
Years ago, when LaFo1lette was in
congress from the Madison district, he
considered every place in the federal
building there as among the perquis-
ties of his office. He named General
Bryant for postmaster, but when 1t
came to United States marshal, collec-
tor of internal revenue and their dep
uties, the two United States senators
listened to the pleas of the people from
81 Of WISCONSIN n
say nothing of the people of Madison,
who objected to Bryant for postmaster,
as he did not live in the city. In con-
sequence of the action of the senators,
the LtaFo1ette candidates for marshal
and collector were turned down and the
places given to other men.
"Then LaFollette got angry and, as
years rolled by, various things tended
to increase his animosity until it be-
came his ruling passion. Do you think
for a moment that he would quit now
when he imagines Spooner is at his
mercy? If you think that, you are
badly fooled. I don't believe that all
of his 1ieutenants could exercise enough
pressure to make him consent to such
a compromise, and if they could do it,
most of them would refuse, as they are
also personally down on the senator.
Look at Nils P. Haugen, for instance.
He is a trusted lieutenant and has the
best paying job in the gift of the gov
ernor. Would he feel like swallowing
that speech he made at Superior? Not
In a thousand years! My own opinion
is that the material for that address
was submitted to the governor before
it was delivered.
"Maybe it wasn't, but you will notice
it seems to have been satisfactory to
the executive for aught he has said to
the contrary. No, sir, there can be no
compromise; and those who are not for
Spooner can be set down as against
him, especially those fellows who want
to sit straddle of the fence with Spoon
er on one shoulder and LaFo11ette on
the other.
''There is bloody war in the factions,
and hope when it is over that Spooner
will be the victor. He is statesman
of national reputation, and as such
reflects more honor on Wisconsin than
the State does on him. ''-Milwaukee

TRIUMPH OF THE LOBBY.

In the shape in which it comes from the
triumph for the lobby, and the managers
of the Republican party. The bill as IL
passed the House indicated pretty clearly
that the campaign manager had succeed
ed, as far as it was possible for him to
do so, in paying obligations contracted
for contributions to the campaign fund
of 1900. The Senate in it's effort to favor
certain great interests, seemed to forget
the people. 1t is claimed that the inter-
ests represented by the lobbyists get the
benefit OF about two-thirds of the reduc-
ton for which the bill now provides and
the people one-third. That shows where
the sympathies of the Republican party
are. That party can always be counted
upon TO be on the side that is represented
by money.
At least two-thirds of the people draw
checks or use proprietary medicines. If
therefore the tax reduction bill as amend
ed by the Senate should become the law,
the vast majority of the people would be
continually reminded that the war tax
is still I'm existence. They would be
reminded of 1t every time they visited a
bank or a drug store.
The bill taken in connection with the
appropriation bills, might be good thing
for the Democratic party. The appro-
priations are so large that even RepubIl-
cans are becoming alarmed at them When
a Congress first appropriated billion
dollars the entire country was startled
The appropriations Of this Congress VIII
greatly exceed a billion dollars. 1t is esti-
mated that those for this session will
reach nearly 100000, 900.
With such appropriations it is probable
that the Republican leaders would not
greatly regret the failure of the war tax
reduction bill to pass. Unless the reve-
nues exceed the estimates very greatly
there will be a deficit. in all probability,
If the bill does pass, although it provides
for a reduction of less than $40,OO0,OOO.
In favoring the interests represented by
the lobby the Republican leaders are not
only paying debts contracted during the
lest national campaign, but in all prob
ability, are paving the way for financial
aid in coming campaigns, knowing that
the only hope of their party for success
is in money.
