WILL PROBABLY ACCEPT CALL.
New Minister Has Been in Charge of the
Church at New London for Many Years
and is Well Known.

By unanimous vote the congrega-
ton of the German Lutheran church
Sunday decided to call as their pastor
to succeed the Rev. E. F. Dornfe1d,
who is going to st. Marcus church in
Milwaukee, the Rev. Adolph Spier ing,
of New London, Wisconsin. There
were many candidates proposed for
the pastorate, but when the first ballot
was taken at thc meeting of the con-
gregation, Mr.. Spiering had such a
large lead that the selection was at
once made unanimous.
The call will be sent by the trustees
of the church this afternoon and it is
thought that Mr.. Spiering will accept
it. The minister selected was in no
way candidate for the position and
he was not aware that his name would
be presented to the congregation, but
as Kenosha offers him a much larger
field of work it is thought that the
church at New London will be willing
to allow him TO come to this city.
The new minister stands high in the
counsels of the German Lutheran
church in Wisconsin and is widely
known among the Germans of the
State. He is man of marked ability
and his work in the ministry has been
blessed with large measure OF sue
cess. He is not only a good preacher
but he is a good manager, and he
has been successful as a church builder.
The strong congregation at New Lon
don has been practically built up since
he took charge of the church.
The Rev. Mr.. Spiering is a man in
the prime of life and if he accepts the
call to Kenosha it will be the third
church he has served during his eigh-
teen years service as minister Of the
gospel. He was educated at the North
western University at WATERFOWL,
graduating with high honors as a
member of the class of 1884. Immed-
lately after he left college he was
called to take charge of the church at
Manchester, Wisconsin, and he man
aged to unite the two societies in that
city and remained in charge of the
SAASAA ~AA AOA S%N~A JNoASs AT lAAN NlOSO
of the pastorate at Manchester he was
called to New London, where he has
since resided.
Thoroughly American in his opin-
ions he has always taken an active in
terest in the cities where he has re-
sided and for this rea son it was thought
that he would be better able to fill the
vacancy in Kenosha than any other
man suggested. Mr.. Spiering has
taken great interest in the mission
work of the church in Wisconsin and
he is at the present time member of
the Wisconsin Synod and the treas
urer of the body.
Mr.. Dornfe1d announced Sunday
that he would bid farewell to the Ke-
nosha congregation on October 5th,
and it is expected that the new min
lister will take charge Of the work on
the following Sunday. In coming to
Kenosha Mr.. Spiering will have a
strong church to care for. The church
now has membership of $50 families,
with total of nearly thousand peo-
pie. Its schools are rated among the
finest among the Lutherans of the
State.

DEFEAT THE GRAYs
Two KenosI1a Teams Have Contest for
Honors at Grand View Park Sunday.

Two Kenos11a Teams Have Contest for
Honors at Grand View Park Sunday.
The Kenosha Athletics and the Ke-
nosha Grays, the two leading base ball
teams of the city, crossed bats at
Grand View Park Sunday afternoon,
and the Athletics so outclassed the
Grays that they took the game by a
score of IA to2. The Athletics were to
have played the South Chicago team,
but the proposed visitors missed a
train in Chicago and Manager Alleman
decided TO take on the Grays rather
than disappoint the crowd.
The game was an easy one for the
Athletics and it is probable that they
could have made the score even larger
if they had been SO disposed. They
scored in every inning but the first
and fourth and the Grays were forced
to put in two pitchers to stop the
avalanche of runs. Hug pitched for
the Athletics and held the Grays down
to three hits, one of which was of the
scratch order. Eberhardt led the bat
ting for the Grays with record of a
single and two base hit. Hug had
the record for the Athletics with four
straight hits. The score:

COMPANY INCORPORATES.
New Kenosha Company Files Incorpora-
ton Papers With Capital of 100000.


Articles of Incorporation were filed
with the Register of Deeds this morn
ing for the incorporation of the Cooper
Underwear Company of Kenosha. The
new company has a capital stock of
one hundred thousand dollars and w.
W. Cooper, Henry Cooper and c. F.
Cooper are the incorporators.
The fling of the articles is made to
give the company better standing as
a Wisconsin firm, but it is stated that
it will have no effect on the business
at the present time. For the past two
years the company has been expert
menting and the success of these ex-
.peri1nents has proved that the company
viii be successful one. Al the pres
ent time the company has lease of a
portion of the Rambler Automobile
plant, but as this lease will expire next
July the company will probably build
a new plant at that time.
Henry Cooper, who is the general
manager of the company, said today
that the plans of the company for the
future were very indefinite but that
some announcement would be made in
the near future. The company after
two years of work has proved to be
successful business venture and it is
probable that within another year the
Underwear Company will be one of the
chief industries Of Kenosha.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

A chorus class has been started in
the High School under the direction of
Miss Sabelwitz.
The boys are entertaining them
selves at present in the reorganiza-
ton of High School bowling team.
1t will probably be made up of John
Slater, Ray Kupfer, Edwin Lamb,
Cyril Kupfer and Robt. Nicoll. All
the mem bers are strong bow1ers and
with this line up the school would have
a team well able to keep up the record
made b, the H. S. team last year.

LOOK OVER YOUR BONDS.
City Water Bond Number 178 not yet Pre-
sented for Payment.


If you are the proud possessor Of any
of the second mortgage water bonds
of the city of Kenosha, 1t behooves
you to look them over carefully, and
if you find number 178 to present it for
payment at the Office of the North
western Loan and Trust company
without delay, for it ceased to draw
interest nearly year ago.
Bond number 178 was one of the lot
called for payment last October, the in
terest on which stopped at that time,
but up to date the money has never
been called for. Of course 1t is pos
sib1e that the bond has been destroyed
and that the city is in a couple of hun
dred dollars but it is more probable
that some one of the capitalists of the
city has it safely slowed away in his
strong box and that sooner or later it
will turn up.
