FURyMAN UTITERSIT 7.

The equanimity of the Bap-
tist denomination in South
Carolina is again disturbed.
Following in the wake of the
orphanage unpleasantness has
come the Furman university
trouble. 1t has been alleged
for more than a year that a
member of the faculty was
not orthodox or sound in doc
trinal teaching. For the sake
Of peace many friends OF the
university have borne and tor
borne f; knowing, too, that agl
tation would arily, at
least, result in injury to the
honored institution.
We do not know the nature
of the charges nor whethea'
there is just ground for them;
but this we do know, that one
of the greatest blows that the
university has ever received--
the resignation of the great
and good DR. A p Montague
---came largely because DR.
IG B Moore was retained as
one of the professors. In a
letter published in a recent IS
sue of the Greenville News
DR. Montague assigns this as
one reason for severing his
connection with the instltu
ton. 1t is reported that DR. ]
w Wingo, teacher of the Bi-
BILE in Furman, has also re-
signed. DR. Montague has
said that DR. Moore should
not be retained as a member
of the faculty and having beer
president of the university he
is in a position to speak kno"
ingly or as one having author
ity.
1t appears to the uninitiatee
that the board of trustees ha
been temporizing with thi
matter long enough. Th'
tissue should be faced fairly
|squarely, bravely. It is i'm:

that Dr. Moore's teachings So
vor of infdelity his resigns

with. lion the contrary the
allegations are untrue they
should be withdrawn, thereby
dissipating the rumors tina
are abroad in the land. Then
and not until then, will the
Baptists of the state give tti:
beloved institution that loya
support which should be ac-
corded it.
We will say in passing, thai
it i'll becomes a minister of the
gospel, an ambassador of the
Prince of Peace, to write of a
brother in Christ as did Dr.
Moore of DR. Montagu in the
Greenville News of the 10th
inst. Would the great Ex-
emplar of whom DR. Moore
speaks, have signed his name

spirit and couched in such

The people interested. in the inn
provement of the harhor and the ex-
tension of the outer breakwater will
do we'll not to place TOO much faith in
the report from Washington that the
money to complete the work will be
appropriated at this session of Con-
:gress. Sooner or later the work will
DE done and every vessel owner and
captain who ever has occasion to use
the harbor hopes that the work will be
undertaken and completed as soon as
possible Those who are most familiar
with the way the appropriation bills
are handled in Congress are not over
ssanguine of the success of any at
4empts to increase the amount appro-
priated for Racine and Kenosha har-
bors in the regular River and Harbor
bill. A special bill making an appro-
priation of sum of money sufficient
TO complete the work on the two har-
sbors, even if it was backed by the rec
sOmmenQdtlon OF the government en-
sgineer in charge, would have little
chance of receiving any consideration
at this session. Being introduced so
late in the session, hundreds and
thousands of bills would have prece-
edence over it.
The present River and Harbor bill,
as it is reported from the committee,
provides Tor greater expenditure
than that one that was "talked to
death" in the closing hours of the last
session. The amounts appropriated by
the bill must be cut rather than increas-
ed Any attempt to amend the bill so as
to increase the amount allowed for Ra-
cine and Kenosha harbors will be 90.

LUFsKY rs BOUND OVER.
Minister who Forged Check in Kenosha
Must Stand Trial for Forgery.

The Rev. Sidney Lufsky, of Osh-
kosh, who has made reputation for
himself as a sharper in many cities of
the State, Kenosha included, was
bound over to await the action of the
Circuit court at Oconomowoc Friday
afternoon. Lufsky is undoubtedly the
cleverest rogue of his kind that ever
struck Wisconsin and it is limited that
his operations in Kenosha were more
extensive than the officials of the law
believe.
Lufsky is bound over on charge of
forgery and during the examination of
the case the facts were brought out
which showed that during his career
as minister he had done land office
business as forger. In his affects
were found list of 132 names of peo-
pie in different cities from whom it is
alleged that he got checks which were
forged. In the list are many well
known people from Waukesha, Fond
du Lac, Waupun, WATERFOWL, Ocono-
mowoc and this city.
IL - C1d1uCu THAT Au1Shy Was d
former convict and that as soon as he
was released from the State prison he
started on his career as forger. His
methods were SO unique that he man
aged to keep the business going for
more than two years before he was
captured. The officials of the Y. M. c.
A. in this city were the frstto openly
declare the fellow forger and after
this declaration had been made public
the man was watched and soon cap
tured working his favorite game.
He was sent back to Jail, not being
able to give bail. The Kenosha men
interested in the case will all go to
Oconomowoc to testify against Lufsky
when he is brought to trial.

Doctors of the City Have a Timely
Discussion OF Smallpox and Its
Treatment Friday.
RECENT VACCINATION ENDORSED
DR.. William Pugh Reads an Interesting
Paper Before the Kenosha County
Medical Association.

The Kenoshs County Medical Asso-
citation held it's regular monthly meet
ing Friday evening at the Office of DR..
P. P. M. Jorgenson and the meeting
was one of more than usual interest on
account of the fact that the discus
sions were on the subject of smallpox.
The discussion of the evening was
introduced by DR.. William Pugh who
read very interesting paper on
Smallpox and the Manner of Treat
ing It." The paper brought on a
discussion in which almost every
doctor of the city took part. The
doctors all spoke of the fact that there
is absolutely no place in Kenosha
where smallpox cases can be properly
cared for and urged the immediate
erection of some sort of an emergency
hospital for use in case the disease
should gain foothold in Kenosha.
The matter of vaccination was taken
up and the doctors all favored what
one of them termed 'recent vaccina-
ton Many cases were cited in
which smallpox had broken out in
homes and immediate vaccination pre-
vented the disease from spreading
from one member Of family to an
other.
The local phase of the alleged small
pox scare was not taken up by the doc
tors and none of them expressed any
opinion of the conditions in Racine.
It is possible that later in the year
the doctors will take some move to
start afund for the building of proper
emergency hospital in Kenosha for the
care of patients afflicted with conta-
gious diseases and when this move is
made it should have the hearty en-
dorsement Of the Council and the
people at large. In the last few years
several efforts have been made to have
the Council order the erection of a pest
house in Kenosha but the plans have
always fallen through on account of
lack of funds or on account of opposi-
tons to the locations selected by the
Council.

KenOsha Women to Have a Chance
to Register Their Preferences at
the Polls Next Month.
SPECIAL BOXES WILL BE PROVIDED
Every Woman in Kenosha Above Age Of
Twenty one Years Will Be Given Chance
20 Vote for School Commissioners.

The women of Kenosha will have
their first chance to register their YER
dict at the polls on April 1st, when the
annual city election will be held. For
many years the women have had the
right to vote at elections for School
Commissioners, but in the past not
one of the women of Kenosha has APP
peared at the polls to cast ballot and
no provisions have been made for
them in the last few years.
A short time ago, however, it was
reported that some of the women of
the city would vote at the coming
election, and at the last meeting of the
City Council an attorney appeared be-
fore the Council and asked that the
Council follow the dictates of the law
and order special boxes placed IN each
ward for the reception of the ballots of
the ladies. The Council ordered
the ballot boxes made and placed
at the voting places and many Of the
ladies are expected to vote on election
day. Some of the old time politicians
are thinking of this action of the
Council very seriously and it is feared
that the ladies may play havoc with
the plans of some of the party leaders.
In several of the wards the ladies have
considered the matter and many of
them have promised to vote. Some
talk of organizing voting clubs and
election parties will be very much in
favor. It is thought that there are
fully as many women as men in the
city eligible to vote and should any
union Of the women be made the
School Board would be completely
changed and there would be grand
house-cleaning in this part Of the city
government. The. ladies are as yet
without leader but in several of the
wards Of the city the matter has been
talked up and the ladies threaten to at
tend the caucuses as well as vote on
election day. Some of the women are
very strong partisans while others
have no party affiliations and will cast
their votes for the sole purpose of Sc
curing better men on the board of edu-
cation. The voting of the ladies will
make great deal of trouble for the
inspectors at the different voting
places, as none of them have ever been
registered and no list of the eligible
voters among the women Of the city
has eyer been made.
Several of thes teachers ,of the city
schools have interested themselves in
the movement and Care doing all in
their power to get outs d full vote at
this the frst'election openIto theladies.
The boxes that will be provided for
the use of the ladies swill sprobably be
cigar boxes but the ballots of lthe fair
sex will be guardeds with the same
fidelity as the ballots of the male
voters.
