He SEES LOO YEARS
John Alexander DOWie Predicts The
Advent Of the Messiah for the
Millennium.
The OvERsEER IS COMING, TOO

Leases are issued in Zion City be-
cause, within the next 1C0 years, Christ
will return to earth and he will reign
1000 years."
This declaration was made yesterday
by John Alexander Dowie in the Shi.
loh temple at the big Christmas serv-
ice for the Zion City dwellers. The
speaker added that he would return to
earth with the Messiah.
At the end of Christ's reign Of 1000
years, declared Dowie, the wicked per
sons will be punished and the good
will be called to their reward.
eff, after de-" he said, 'infdels
should in any way get hold of zion
lands and carry on their carousals, |
will myself return to earth and order
them from the sacred ground.
"The world must accept me as Elijah
until it proves that / am not. It is
easy to say that am not the prophet,
but let them prove it. All Zion knew
/ was Elijah before announced it, and
] had hard work keeping them from
exploiting the fact before / was ready.
Dowie said the Jewish Zionist move
ment is "merely real estate specula-
ton" He declared that, before re-
turning to rebuild Jerusalem, the Jews
must accept Elijah for their leader.
"a strange light" appeared to him
and made him realiza that he was Eli
jah, he said. There was the same con.
dition with regard to John the Baptist.
The salutation in Zion City and
among Dowieites is no longer CHERRY
Christmas. Of this Dowie said:
eve will say Happy Christmas and
Glad New Year instead of merry
Christmas and Happy New Year.
Merry carries with it frivolity and
carousals, and that is not what was
meant to be on Christmas"
The first public wedding ever held
in Zion City was in the afternoon fol
lowing the service in Shiloh taber-
nacle. Dowie performed the ceremony
for the Rev. Harry E. Cantel and Dea-
coness Ruth Stevens, both of London.
Afterwards he ordained both to high
Office in Zion church and assigned to
them the general overseeing of the
work in Great Britain.
The white robed choir sang and the
bride and groom walked slowly down
the aisles of the tabernacle, each pre-
ceded by bridemaid dressed in white.
They met at the platform, where
Dowie proceeded with the ceremony,
using the Episcopal ring service,
DR.. Dowie will leave Zion City on
Jan. 1, on his visitation around the
world. He announced Friday night
that he would spend two or three weeks
in the south and sail from SanFran-
cisco Jan. 81, for Australia.

If you could take an ordinary bill
out of your pocket and mark it so that
it would be of no use TO any one except
the one to whom you wish to send it.,
and then enclose it in an ordinary let
ter and send it by mail, doing away
with the journey for money order,
you would think it great convenience
would you not? Yet this is just what
the Post Check, currency would enable
you to do.
When this money has been used in
this manner it is returned to the Treas
ury for redemption and a fresh bill is
issued in its stead. Thus the circulat-
ing currency is constantly kept fresh,
clean and comparatively free from dis
ease germs. This should appeal to the
physician and hygienist as an import

final stamping out of all contagious

men universally endorse it. 1t now re-

and all who desire clean, healthful

saving qualities and write their con-
gressmen and senator's about it, urging
them to vote for the bill (H. r. 1876,

Rapid Spread Of Distemper Among
Animals in Pleasant Prairie
Causes Alarm.
SPREAD or DISEASE VERY RAPID.
Several of the Horses Have Died and Hum
dreds of Cases are Reported From
Different Parts of the Town.

The horses OF the town of Pleasant
Prairie are suffering from an epidemic
of distemper and the disease is spread
ing so rapidly that the farmers have
sent letter to the State Veterinarian
seeking some way 70 prevent the fur
Their spread of the disease. The first
case Of the disease was discovered a
week ago and since that time the
spread of the disease has been rapid
From single case it is now reported
that there are hundreds of cases in the
town and several of the horses have
died. The farmers state that the dis
ease is in more virulent form than
in other years and although the doc
tors that have been called to attend
stricken animals claim that the dis
ease is not contagious the stricken
animals are being separated from the
other cattle on the farms and in this
way the farmers hope to arrest the
spread of the disease. Although the
horses have been isolated in many
cases the disease has been found in
other animals and it is thought pos
sible that the disease is due to some
germ. The FIRST case of the disease
developed in horse recently brought
from Lake county to Pleasant Prairie
and for this reason the farmers are
accusing the Lake county horse trader
with bringing distemper into this
county.
1t has been many years since Keno.
sha county felt the weight of an cpl
demic of distemper among the horses.
Some ten or twelve years ago the dis
ease was very prevalent among the
horses and before it could be checked
It had spread to other animals and
many herds were well nigh wiped out.
1t is hardly thought that the present
appearance of the disease will result in
so much damage being done s at that
time.
Inc farmers are anxiously awaiting
a reply from the state veterinarian as
they hope that the state official will
find some way to curb the disease and
prevent its further spread.

Mrs. Robert Maegaard OF the Town OIL
SOmers First Woman to be Ap-
pointed in This County.
THREE NEW CARRIERS ARE NAMED
Mrs. Maegsard is Named as Substitute
Rural Carrier to Take Place of Her
Husband.

WhIle henosha is still waiting for
the naming of new postmaster the
department controlling the post office
business sent few Christmas presents
to the city ia the way Of the appoint
ment of three new rural mail carriers
and as many substitute carriers. The
appointments arrived this morning
but the carriers will not start to work
until after the first of February. The
list of appointees for carriers include
Edwin 6. Dupons, Robert nj. Mae
gard anu Charles L. Holderness while
the substitutes appointed are Marius
Christensen, Christina Maegaard and
Frank Holderness.
The appointment of Mrs. Maegaard
as substitute carrier comes some.
thing as a surprise as the SomerS
woman is the first woman in the coun.
ty to be named in the capacity of a
substitute carrier. Mrs. Maegaard
will be the substitute for her hus band
and should he at any time be incapaci.
tated from work his wife will be forced
to take the work off his hands and see
that the people on the route receive
their mail. In several instances dur
ing the last few months wives of rural
carriers have been named as substi-
tutes and the department seems to be
of the opinion that the women of the
country are jast as capable Of carrying
the mail as the men. Mrs. Maegaard
will undoubtedly accept 'the position
to which she has been appointed and
it is probable that she will do her full
share of the work. Mr.. and Mrs
Maegaard have been appointed to
have charge Of the route extending
from Kenosha to Berryvil1e nearly all
theroute being about the latter village
Carrier Dupons will have charge of the
route in Pleasant Prairie known as
route IS. Carrier Holderness Will be
in charge of the route in Somers
known as route 81.
The appointment of carriers removes
the last obstacle to the opening of the
three new routes and they will all be
started the first of next February. In
the meantime the farmers have been
notified to FIX up the roads so as to
make the coming of the carrier a pos
siblity. Many of the roads have al
ready been improved and the others
will be repaired in the early spring.

THE DEATH OF BISHOP THOMPSON's
DAUGHTER

DAUGHTER.
Mrs. Mary Thompson Howe, whose
death is announced in our obituary
column, was daughter of the late
Bishop Hugh Miller Thompson. Wild
owed at an early age, Mrs. Howe as.
stunned official duties in many organi-
cations, charitable, philanthropic, and
patriotic. She was the Mississippi
State regent for the Order of Descend
ants of Colonial Governors, was State
secretary for the Order of Kings
Daughters, and was affiliated with the
Daughters of the Revolution and the
United States Daughters of 1912. We
quote from n interesting letter written
by her just after her eminent fathers
death:
Glow we'll | recall his frequent talks
about the world beyond. and of the
men he would seek out first, and of the
questions he would ask concerning
things he had not understood in their
writings: St. Paul, Carlyle, Tennysor
such a strange company he would
s
would tell me the questions he 1onged
to ask them. Is it not beautiful herit-
age that can know, beyond the per-
adventure of doubt, that he has
taken his place among the great ones
of the ages, their peer and equal, sby
the force he made his own, being
here? For six years have been with
him constantly, writing for him, hunt
ing references and books in the big old
library, helping him daily in every
possible way with his work. / feel
sometimes that the world holds no flu
ture work or service for me. No wO-
man, after six years of sucha life and
such precious companionship, could
settle down to sewing on buttons,
keeping house, or dipping into the
shadows of society for the rest of her
days. can't! The light, the intellect,
the soul is gone!''-The Churchmap.

Fred E. Kilborn and Miss Lillian
klambitter, of Waukegan, each got
one Christmas present, for on last
Thursday afternoon they came to Ke-

wedding. Both are well known Wau-
kegan young people and the announce

made after the first of the year prom
ises to be quite a surprise to the people
of Waukegan. The wedding was a
very quiet one. Mr.. Kilborn and his
bride came to Kenosha on the after
noon train and went to the office of
Judge Slosson. Half an hour later
they left there as husband and wife.
