Oppose Old Re-
strictiOnS
Against Card Playing
and Dancing.
Want to Retain Young People In
the Church.

Chicago, April 25.-If the clergy of
the Methodist Episcopal church expect
TO keep their young men and women
in the fold they must do away with
old restrictions against card playing
dancing, and attending theatres. If
they are not allowed to follow the die
tates of their conscience, they will at
tend churches where they are allowed
TO do so, or they will not attend church
at all.
This in substance was the declara-
ton set forth at Il dinner at the Union
League club, attended by GJ prominent
Methodist ministers and laymen of
Chicago. The proposition received gen
cral discussion, in which Bishop j. w.
Hamilton, l.. ID. Condo, and Robert
Quaylc took leading parts.
IF we do not take active steps to-
ward arousing interest in the church
on the part of our young men and
women, we shall stand alone in our
old age; there will be none to take the
burden from our shoulders when we
pass away" said Mr.. Quayle. III we
seek to bind the young people down too
closely or draw too tight rein, we
cannot hope to keep them with us.
Il recommend that all lnymcn and
clergymen to whom the interests of
the Methodist church are dear, organ
ize around this question and insist at
The next general conference that the
present regulations and restrictions be
removed
foot at the meeting was the consoll-
dation of all book interests and peri
Ddicals of the church in this country.
If the movement Is successful the site
Df the Central Institution will be in
Chicago.

BeDevoience of Gov. Nye.

Back In the sixties Governor Nye OF
this State was an inveterate poker
PLAYER. One time at Saltwater he was
playing poker in the presence of Cap
sue, peace chief Of the Piutes. Capsule
asked the Governor to play with him,
and the request was granted. The
play was two-bit ante and dollar
limit. The Indians capital was $40,
and the Governor, who cheated out
rageously, soon won all the money.
Capsule then put up his saddle, which
went the way of the cash. His blanket
followed. HIS pony was staked and
lost. The Governors face wore a
wicked smile.
"Goyeronrn said the Indian, ''you
got my money, my saddle, my blanket,
my pony; now | bet you my sqnaw. E"
The governors face at once became
benevolent.
"Capsue,n he explained, Il cannot
take your wife. The paleface does not
indulge in double blessings of this
variety, but If you will promise never
to play poker again | will give you
back your money and property
Capsule was delighted and always
afterward told the story to Illustrate
what a great man was Governor Nye.

Democrats Meet in State Convention
at Milwaukee Today to Ratify
His Candidacy.
COL. cARU-H MAKES HIS BOW.
Well Known Kenosha Democratic Politi-
clan Makes His Debut With Demo-
Gratis of Wisconsin,.
(From a Special Correspondent

Milwaukee, Wis. Sept. democracy
of the State of Wisconsin took Mil
waukee by storm today and even the
strife of Stalwart and Half Breed has
been relegated to place far behind
the scenes in order to allow the men
fighting for the lost cause to put
ticket into the field.
The Convention promises to be one
of the most notable ones ever held by
the party in Wisconsin and many men
who have long been divorced from
their place in Democracy have re-
turned to the protecting wings of their
party and seeing rift in the shadows
of the Democratic oblivion that has so
long prevailed in Wisconsin they have
come back seeking to join in the rush
for the band wagon and to make some
effort to bring the party once more to
its former place among the politicians
of Wisconsin.
Prominent among the men who are
dominating the Convention are David
S. Rose, George Peck, Col. Villas, Col.
Geo. w. Caruth, Neal Brown and Burr
w. Jones. Most of these men are
recent converts tolater day Democracy
but they seem to be ready to swallow
the Convention with any heresy that
may be brought out.
In the ante.Convention meetings
there was decided tendency to unite
against Rose for Governor, but the
thing in a nut shell is: Rose has
too many delegates in the Convention
for the opposition to make even a
showing and the defeated ones are
simply getting ready to bow politely
to the Mayor and let his nomination
be made unanimous and by acclama-
ton.
The Kenosha delegation is consid-
cred with the Rose forces, but they
have not as yet made any declaration
as to their position in the fight.
Col. Caruth promises to be one of
the real hits of the convention and he
has already proved his ability as a
Democrat and as mixer; Like a
man home after long journey the
Colonel has entered the Utmost por-
tails of Wisconsin Democracy and has
been received with open arms.
Thus far the convention has been
very tame. It was called to order at
the Davidson Theatre at noon with
State Chairman P. E. Werden in the
chair and almost every county in the
State represented with full Gelega-
ton. ]. E. Davies, of Watertown,
was elected temporary chairman, and
later gave way to Thomas M. Kear-
ney, of Racine, who was selected as
permanent chairman. The appoint
ment of committees took up the re-
mainder of the time of the first session
and the convention adjourned until 8
O'Clock to give the committee on Gre
dentia1s time to make its report.
The resolutions will probably en-
dorse the National Democratic plat
form of two years ago but it is posi-
bic that the influence of some of the
OLD gold Democrats will be sufficient to
have the convention lay silent on Ma
tiona1 issues.
Mayor Rose will probably be nomi-
mated at the night session of the con-
vention. The names for the rest of
the ticket are as yet only onjectured.

Frank Coffin, Husband OF Grace Shell
Coffin, Fights With Wallace
ingalls,, of Racine.
SOME MORTGAGES CAUSE TROUBLE
Coffin is Alleged to Have Seized Money of
ingalls, and Refused to Return It.
Arrests May Follow Fight.

The Green Acre farm of Mrs. Grace
Smell Coffin, in the town of Salem, was
the scene of hand-to-hand fight over
$40 bill Tuesday between Attorney
Ingalls,, of Racine, and the divorced
husband of Mrs. Coffin. The trouble
was over the foreclosure of two cha tte1
mortga ges, one for So, 500, held by Seth
Silver, and which he bought of Wal
lace ingalls,, and another for 81, 800,
held by Mrs. Elizabeth Nelson, of
Waukesha. Chief of Police Schu-
macher, of Racine, with Mr.. Silver,
went to Green Acre farm and attached
everything to satisfy the mortgages.
That night Mr.. Coffin appeared on the
farm and entered the house and at the
same time "Tom" Gaggin, of Antioch,
ILL.,, came out and placed a paddock on
the barn doors and took away one of
the horses.
Attorney Ingalls,, for Mr.. Silver, ar
rived at the farm. A "bouncer," name
unknown, had brought a number of
kilograms out to the farm. Mr.. In.
gals pulled $50 bill from his pocket
with which to pay the "bouncer." It
is alleged that Mr.. Coffin deliberately
snatched the $40 bill out of Ingalls,
hands and refused to return it. In
gals started to take off his coat and
warned the "bouncer' to keep out of
the trouble. Before Ingalls, could get
his coat off Coffin, it is alleged, flashed
a potato knife, sharp as a razor, and
assaulted the attorney. Ingalls, dis
armed him and compelled him to give
up the money, after which he left.
Deputy Sheriff Frank Bassinger, of
Racine, went down to the farm and
was to assist in taking care of the
property, but was called back on ac-
count of the sickness Of his wife.
Wednesday Peter B. Nelson, for Mrs.
Nelson, of Waukesha, left for the farm
to look after her interests. During all
of the difficulty Mrs. Coffin has not
once put in an appearance.
After the fight the 1itigants came to
Kenosha and asked Sheriff Whitcher
to take hand in the matter and as
sist in securing service against the
Collins, but as the work of foreclosing
the mortgages had all been done by
Racine officials the Kenosha county
officials refused to interfere in Vthe
matter and it will probably be dropped.
Criminal proceedings have been
promised against Coffin and it is prob
able that he will be arrested later on
charge of assault with intent to do
great bodily harm. Attorney Ingalls,
returned to Kenosha after the fight
and at once left for a Western trip.
No further action is expected until
after his return. The fight caused
great excitement in Salem and it was
the topic of conversation there today.

CONFERENCE OPENS.
Methodist Ministers of Wisconsin are Meet
ing at Portage This Week.

Methodist Ministers of Wisconsin are Meet
ing at Portage This Week.
The annual session of the Wisconsin
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church opened at Portage this after
noon, with Bishop Goodse11, of Detroit,
in the chair. The Conference will con-
tinue for the next six days, and will
close with TIE reading of the appoint
ments for the year on next Tuesday
morning. Many Kenosha people are
in attendance. w. w. Stevens, pastor
of Park Avenue M. E. church, will take
an important part in the proceedings
of the week,
The great interest in the Conference
is taken in the appointments for the
coming year. DR.. D. C. John, who
has been in charge of the Milwaukee
diocese as presiding elder for several
years, will retire this year, and the ap-
pointment of his successor is causing
great deal of discussion in Methodist
circles. Rev. w. w. Stevens will un-
doubtedly be returned to Park Avenue
church for another year, but it is prob
able that several changes will be made
among the smaller churches of the
county.
The report made by Mr.. Stevens for
the Kenosha church will be one of the
best presented to the Conference. The
year has been the best in the history
of the Methodist church in Kenosha.
