EDITORS IN MILWAUKEE,.
Wisconsin Press Association Holds It's An
nual Meeting in Milwaukee.


The Wisconsin Press Association
held its opening session of the forty
ninth annual convention, in the rooms
of the Milwaukee Merchants and Man
ufacturers' Association at 2 O'Clock
Wednesday afternoon. It was, witha1,
the best attended initial meeting of
the Association ina long time, as there
were sixty members present. It is ex-
pected that 200 will attend the session
tom orrow, ard the indications are that
the attendance before the closing ses-
sion will exceed that Of any of the an
nual meetings held for several years.
There seems to be little strife in the
distribution of official honors by the
Association. It is generally conceded
on all sides that E. L. Luckow, of
Baraboo will be elected to succeed
himself as President, and that O. F.
Roessler will probably be selected for
another term as Secretary. Mrs. Flora
B. Ginty, who has been the Treasurer
of the Association for six years, will
probably retire. Mrs. Ginty has been
ordered by her physician not to read or
write, on account of failing eye-sight,
and this alone will, if anything, cause
her to give up the position.

DAVID g. THOMAS DEAD.
Well Known Kenosna Resident Expires
After Long Illness. a

David G. Thomas died at his home
on Milwaukee avenue shortly after
midnight Friday morning. The an
nouncement of the death of Mr.
Thomas will come as shock to many
Of his friends and acquaintance, for
although he had been ill for many
months, his death was very unex-
pected.
For the past two years the deceased
had been victim of chronic kidney
troubles and for the past year he had
been steadily sinking. A few days
ago his condition became so bad that
he went to Racine doctor for treat
ment. Thursday morning he desired
to return to his home in this city and
was driven to Kenosha from Racine
accompanied by his wife and nurse.
Shortly after he reached home he was
seized with sinking spell and he
grew steadily weaker until the end
came just before one O clock.
The deceased was born in Wales
forty years ago and had been a resi-
dent of Kenosha for the last fourteen
years. He is survived by widow
to whom he was married only three
weeks ago.
The funeral was held from St.
James church on Sunday afternoon,
and the remains were inferred at the
St. James cemetery.

DoWIE CANT BE MAYOR.
Pact That he Isn't Naturalized Prevents
Him Heading lions Ticket.

Already the special election to be
held in Zion City March 31st, at which
it shall be decided that Zion shall be
duly incorporated as city, is produc-
ing considerable interest.
The election will be held in the Zion
City livery stable and the judges of
election appointed by County Judge
Jones are to be William p. Porter,
Frank H. West and Jesse B. Fry.
Zion will be a city in the full sense
Of the word. 1t will have a mayor, a
board Of aldermen and last, but by no
means least, chief of police. Just
who will be elected mayor has not been
decided upon. Dowie is prevented
from adding the title of mayor to that
Of Elijah Il, for the reason that he
does not happen to be legal citizen of
this country. He has taken out his
first naturalization papers, but he can
not take out his final papers and be-
come eligible for mayoralty honors
until next year.
La speaking of the move to incorpor-
ate Zion City, Dowie's attorney. Mr.,
Packard Thursday said in an inter
view:
Il went to Zion Saturday and ia an
hours time had obtained the sigma
lures of seventy-fve legal voters to a
petition asking for the incorporation
Of Zion as city.
''Only SO signatures are required by
law. The statutes also provide that a
village or town wishing to incorporate
into city shall contain at least 1000
Inhabitants. We were able to show
1902 citizens in tract of four square
miles, which is all the territory that
the laws allows to be incorporated into
a city. There are ten square miles in
Zion and we intend to annex the other
six miles when Zion City has been
fully organized. The city will then
have a population of about 1000.
"March 81 was chosen as the day for
the election of the city's new officials
for the reason hat this day is to be a
red-letter day in Zion. On that day
Dowie will throw 1000 acres of land
upon the market and will dedicate a
school building, which has been put
ting up in Zion.

MUSTARD SEED CASES NOTICED
Famous Old Suit will Have Hearing at
Coming Term of Circuit Court.

Coming Term of Circuit Court.
Papers we're filed with the Clerk of
the Circuit Court SATURDAY MOTTO
ing for trial at the coming term of the
Circuit Court the suit of Henry W..
Runkel against Robert NJ. Dixon.
The suit is the last of the famous mus
tard seed cases which were started in
this county four years ago, and which
have been in some ofathe courts of the
State ever since. The original suits,
four in number, have all been disposed
of with the exception of the suit
brought by Mr.. Runke1 and the calen-
dar will probably be cleared Of this
suit this month.
The suits arose from the fact that a
number of farmers in the town of
Wheat1and purchased from Robert M.
Dixon, store keeper, large amount
Of what was.supposed to be rape seed.
When the seed was sown it proved to
be wild mustard seed and all of the
farmers raised a large crop of the
worthless weed.
They at once filed suits against
Dixon and one of the suits was fought
in the Supreme Court Of the State.
Another suit was won by Dixon in the
Circuit Court and one was settled out
of court.
The Runkel case promises to prove
interesting. Quarles, Spence &
Quarles, of Milwaukee, will represent
the store keeper, and Peter Fisher will
represent Mr.. Runke1 in the suit

MAY CHANGE lions NAME.
Postofice of1cia1s Pind Too Many lions
In Illinois.

''Dr.' Dowie, of Zion City, is in
Washington endeavoring to have a
postoffice established at that place.
He has not met with much opposition
so far as the esta b1ishment Of thepost-
office itself is concerned, and one will
undoubtedly be opened at the city
founded by the 'shea1er." He is hav-
ing trouble with the Postoffice depart
ment, however, over the name Of the
postoffice. cdr Dowie wants the Of
fee known as Zion City, but Postmas-
ter General Payne objects to this be-
cause there are already postofhces in
Illinois which are known as Zion and
Zionvi11e. 1t is held by the depart
ment to establish a postoffice under
the name of Zion City would make
trouble for the persons living in the
other two places, the names of which
are almost similar. For this reason
the department has declined to allow
the office which will be established at
| Zion City to be known by the name
desired by cdr Dowie. The latter,
however, is not inclined to acquiesce in
the view of the Postofflce department
and is endeavoring to have the Post
office department reverse its decision.
He saw Senator Cullom yesterday and
explained the situation. The Senator
was requested 70 visit the Postofice
department with "Dr." Dowie for the
purpose Of having the name Of Zion
City bestowed upon the new Office.
Senator Cullom has promised to see
the Postmaster General and will take
up the matter today.

U7AsHINGTON. NAY ia lively
w debate occurred In the senate to-
day upon an amendment to the
army appropriation bin offered by Mr.
Bailey Of Texas, providing that no part
Of the appropriations made by the
measure should be used in defraying
the expenses of the special embassy to
the coronation Of King Edward VII Of
England. mr.. Bailey conteuded that
the United States should not send a
special ambassador to the coronation
Of England's king or To the coronation
of any ruler. when the country thus
hOnOred did not extend a like courtesy
to the United States ON the Inaugural
ton of a president. Afyer. considerable
discussion the amendment was with
drawn and the bin passed.
subsequently MT. Bailey offered a res
olution which win be considered later
covering the point made in his amend
ment
Mr.. Lodge called attention to the fact
that a special embassy of the United
States attended the coronation of the
car of Russia
IF" said Mr. Bailey. I'VE are to
send a special embassy to the corona
ton of this monarch In Great Britain.
we must hereafter send an embassy to
the coronation Of every monarch or
else give affront to the nation con
cerned.
No Return of Courtesy.
IF it be true that we have sent en-
bassies to the coronation Of European
rulers. I ask if special embassies ever
have been sent TO the Inauguration or
the president Of the United States? Are
they entitled at our hands to what they
do not give to US?
What I protest against" continued
Mr.. Bailey, lis this. That the greatest
republic in the world shall perform for
a monarchy what monarchies do not
perform for US"
He said that, of course, if representa-
tives Of this government were to be
sent to a coronation they ought not to
pay their own expenses. If such an
embassy were sent il ought to be con-
firmed by the senate.
It was pointed out by mr.. Lodge that
the power Of the president to send a
special agent was established thor
7lIghly by pracuee Il Was clear lEat

There had been other cases OF the ap-

posed amendment the retired army off,
Ger. sent on this embassy would be de-
prived simply Of his retired pay and
mileage. This would be a needless af-
front to the officer and to Great Brit
ain.
Mr.. Bailey said it was not intended
by the amendment to punish the army
officer to be sent on the proposed en-
bassy.
No Fawning Courtesies.
Mr.. Money Of Mississippi protested
against the sending OF a special en-
bassy to the coronation of any king or
pOtentate, not approving of having o
representative in the United States cool
his heels in the corridors Of any mon
arch.
Mr. Hoar said he sympathized with
the statement that the United States
should not pay a tribute 10 any nation
which that nation did not pay to as.
The argument he thought, was unan-
swerable. But FL this instance. the
special embassy had been appointed.

Mr. Spooner Of Wisconsin. while he
felt that the president had no author

to adopt the proposed amendment. A

amendment and the bin was passed.
Mr.. Bailey then offered the following
resolution:
That it is contrary to the policy Of

agent to especially represent the
United States, at the coronation OF any

WALTER CLAWSON SHOT IN SHOULDER
BYA THUG NEAR EAGLE CATE

While returning home early this
morning Walter ClaWsOn and a COM
panion were held up by two masked.
armed men near the Eagle gate and
Mr.. Clawson was shot through the
shoulder by one of the thugs. The
wound is quite severe one, but is said
not to be serious. The thugs made
their escape without securing any
booty from their intended victims.
The hold-Sp occurred about o'clock.
Mr.. ClawsOn and his companion who
would not divulge his name. were re
turning to their homes on North state
street. AS they were walking along
the dark path by the wall that sur
rounds the old Brigham Young school
house, two men with masks over their
faces stepped from a gateway and lev
eled revolvers in the faces Of the two
men.
They ordered us to throw up our
hands, said Mr.. Clawson. "and my
companion obeyed, but I thought it was
a joke, and told the fellow who had his
revolver in my face 10 so TO h. Then
I turned and ran back towards Brig
ham street AS I did so there was a
report, and I felt a sting in my left
shoulder. I didn't stop 10 see how bad
ly I was injured, but called to my
friend to hurry up and ran back
towards the light The two men started
to follow us. and I thought they were
going to shoot again. but they sud-
denly turned and disappeared up the
street"
Mr. ClawsOn's companion said that
he threw his hands straight into the air
when he was commanded to, and didn't
intend to take any chances until he
saw Mr. CiaWs0n running. and decided
that he had best follow suit

and the doctor was called up to exam
inc Mr. ClaWsOn's wound He found
upon examination that the bullet ap-

the wound might have proved fatal. AS
IL was the leaden missile was swerved
from its course by the bone and lodged
in the f1eshy part Of the arm Just un-
der the shoulder. The wound was
dressed by the doctor and today an
operation viii be performed to remove
the bullet. Mr.. Clawson said he did
not suffer much pain from the wound.
and the doctor states that it is not at
all dangerous.
The victim of the thugs could not
give much Of a description of them.
They both wore masks and were rather
tall Aside from this. Mr.. Clawson could
not tell what they looked like. The 70.
lice were notified Of the affair and Off
GERS were dispatched to the scene. but
no trace could be found Of the hold
ups.
At 3:15 o'clock the police caught two
men that are believed to be the per-
sons who held up young CIawson and
his companion. AT the police station
they gave the names Of William Brown
and James J. Young. Their responses
as to their Wherea bouts recently were
so unsatisfactory the police were thor
oughly convinced they have The right
persons.
Inc two men were found in a room
ing house at the corner Of South Tenn
pie and West Temple. When Sergeant
Eddin5ton and Officer Randolph broke
in the door Of their room the men tried
to escape through the window, but
failed. One Of them had two guns, the
other three.
A little earlier two young men who
we're walking along First South, near
Second West street, were held up by
two highwaymen at the points Of three
revOlvers, and their pockets were r.
fed. About S25 In cash was secured.
From the description given by the
young men the officers believe they
were the same who shot Mr.. CiawsOn.
