SMALLPOX IN ZION.
Patient Discovered at the Zion City Hospice
and Fifty People Are Under Guard.

Patient Discovered at the Zion City Hospice
and Fifty People Are Under Guard.
Zion City Hotel, the biggest boarG-
ing house IN Dowie's settlement south
of Kenosha, is under quarantine as the
result of a case of smallpox discovered
among the lacemakers. A young fell
low who Joined Zion three months ag 0
was found suffering from the disease,
and Dowie at once ordered the hotel
closed. A dozen Zion guards do SEN
try duty about the building and hold
fifty people prisoners.
AS soon as the quarantine was es-
taoished Dowie ordered the patient re
moved and the place fumigated.
What was done with the patient is
the question that is exciting Wauke-
gan, whose citizens fear that he may
have been taken there. There are over
100 Dowieites in Wankegan, who work
in Zion City and have been in contact
with the lacemakers during the last
week, and this is not reassuring TO
those who feat the disease may have
oeen carried into their Town.
Dowie feels sure, according to his
followers, that the disease was brought
into Zion City by nou-believers, who
went there last week to attend the
funeral services of Esther Dowie, who
died from burns received in Zion Home,
Chicago. He made a similar excuse
when smallpox broke out in one of his
institutions in Chicago last spring.
The authorities of Zion City made
every effort to conceal the facts in the
case, but it was learned that the small
pox patient is Is years old and came to
Chicago early this year from some
Western state. He is an apprentice
who is being taught cemaking. He
has been boarding at the Zion City
hotel, but whether he gave up his room
10 some of the big crowd which at
tended Esther Dowie's funeral or
caught the contagion in some other
way is not known, although at the
time of the funeral several boarders
we're forced to sleep in the shops that
the leading Dowieites m light have &C
commodations.

HORSE THIEF MAKES A HAUL
Charles Knoll is Wanted for Stealing
Outfit Belonging to T. j. Meyers

Charles Knoll is Wanted for Stealing an
Outfit Belonging to T. j. Meyers.
A lone horse thief invaded the quiet
precincts of Kenosha Saturday eve
ming and as a result of his visit 7. J..
Myers, the Wisconsin street livery
man, is minus a fine horse and rum
about valued at about $3.50.
The horse thief in question seems to
line. He came to the city on Friday
and registered at the Hotel Kenosha.
He remained at the hotel long enough
to get something of a standing and he
concluded that the standing was SUI
6ciently strong to hire rig, He went
to the Meyers barn and stating that he
was Charles Knoll and the agent for a
large coffee company he secured a rig
for period of three hours. Later he
returned and told the men at the barn
that he would not be able to finish his
work in three hours so he would keep
the horse six hours. That was the
longest six hours ever known on a
clock dial, and when the man failed to
return the tr nout late Saturday night
Mr.. Meyr 5 made complaint to the
police Ind the sheriff and went out
himself on search for his missing
property.
The searching party found trace of
Knoll and it seems evident from the
way he drove about the county that he
was doing his best to elude the pursu-
ing party. It seems that the man has
manged to make good his escape and it
is thought that he is travelling west.
Police officers of all the surrounding
cities. have been notified of the crime
and close watch is being kept for the
accused man.

Lake Transportation to be Resumed Be-
tween Kenosha, Waukegan and Chicago.
A telegram from Racine states that
the agent for the Barry Brothers
transportation company in that city,
has been instr 1cted to come to Keno
sha at once and secure docks for the
use of the company. It is also stated
that the steamer Getty of Grand
Rapids will be returned to it's old run
att once. The Barry Brothers still
have control of the dock and ware
house near the O'Donnell coal yards,
and it is probable that this dock will
be used by the boat.
No one in Kenosha seems to be in
touch with the company, but it is
stated that the boat will start on it's
regular runs before the end OF this
week. If the Grand Rapids is put
under the proper management it will
f nd lots of business in Kenosha. The
people of the city are ready and will
ing to support boat line but they
must be shown that it will be operated
on a business basis.

Little Myrtle Knight, of winthrop HarbOr,
Meets Death While Working for Charity.
Myrtle knight, the 10-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Knight, residing south of Kenosha
near Winthrop Haroor, met horrible
death yesterday afternoon by being
in1paled on a sharp stick.
The little girl and a number of
her companions were giving bazaar
for the purpose of raising money for
the "Fresh Air Fund" Chicago char
ity, and while the children we're play
ing about the tent used for the bazaar
the little Knight girl climbed up on a
stump to get hold of a limb. The limb
was broken by the weight of the child
and she fell back to the ground strik-
ing the pointed end of the stump,
which penetrated the abdomen. The
sad accident to the little girl caused
great sorrow in the community and
the neighbors hurried to the scene of
the accident. She was picked up and
carried to the other side of the road to
the home of her father but expired
from hemorrhage before she reached
the house.
DR.. William Pugh was called to at
tend the case but the little child had
died before he could reach the house.

Scented Dinner Gowns

The scented dinner gown is a pretty
extravaganza of spring. 1t costs
money to smell nicely, but there is
really no more attractive feature
about woman's gown. Sachet is
used. not in the lining, but in little
bags which are disposed in convenient
places upon the gown. The latest
French wrinkle is to stuff the hollow,
lust at the front Of the shoulders, with
a bag in which there lies a deal of vio-
let sachet.
The muffs are perfumed with 1t and
a few little bags are concealed in the
stock and in the front Of the gown.
The French make this as much fea-
ture of good gowning as good Innings,
and the manner in which the up-to-
date dresses are scented would make
more than a fashion volume.
1t is not the real thing to use always
the same perfume. One gets tired Of
it. but a variety is much liked. One
day a violet odor. next day cut rose,
next uay pink, and so on through the
list of sweet smells. The French, too,
with an ideal delicacy, match the lin
ings to the odOrs and that lovely daint-
mess of person, which is so noticeable
wherever it exists. is detected at once.
There is no more desirable trait of
dress than absolute neatness. That
masculine popularity which compels
the throwing aside Of all garments
worn more than a day or so; and in
the case of collars and cuffs, an hour
or so. is rarely found in the feminine
persuasion, yet it is one Of the most at
rtactive features of fashionable gown
ing and one which the couturieres are
preaching and teaching. They advise
the wearing Of satin and silk cuffs
that can be slipped off and sent to the
cleaners. and they will show you lists
OF materials that can be tubbed, though
you would never subject such plebeian
enthusiastically Eagle.
