STORM Is BREWING.
Organized Fight May be Made Against
Unlicensed Medical Practice
Among Kenosha People.
LAWS ARE BEING VIOLATED DAILY

The attention of District Attorney
A. e. Buckmaster has beea called to
the abuses of the State Medical laws
which are being found daily in Keno
sha, and it is claimed that many peo-
pie are practicing medicine in the city
who have no right to attend the sick
and injured.
This class does not include certain
physicians who have been under fire
from the State Board of Medical Elk
aminers, but it includes several women
who, having cards as mid-wives, have
been following the regular work of the
licensed doctors. In some cases the
work of these Impractical ply sicians
has proved serious, and it is claimed
that in one case where an unlicensed
physician treated woman compare
lively simple case developed into ap-
pendicitis, and it was necessary for
the patient to risk her life.
The physicians of the city have re-
fused to make any complaints against
such practices, as they allege that they
will be accused of professional jeal-
ousy; but several Of them who were
interviewed today stated that there

DoWie Will No Longer Hinder the
Progress Of the North Shore
Railway Company.
WITHDRAWS FROM LONG CONTEST.
Notifies the Officials of the Chicago. Ke-
nosha s. Milwaukee Road that They
May Build through Zion City.

A little financial trouble and Strug-
gle with the Northwestern Railway
Company has made John Alexander
Dowie wondrous kind and yesterday he
sent letter to the promoters of the
Chicago, Kenosha & Milwaukee Rail
way Company in which he stated that
he was ready t. withdraw his opposi-
ton to the building of the road through
Zion City and what was more to the
point he notified the managers Of the
company that they would not be com.
PEELED to condemn the land used for
the road as it would be given them as
the free gift Of the prophet. The offic-
ials of the company are jubi1ant over
the matter and now that Dowie has
given his word to them they feel as
sured that he will not go back on it,
and the question of the line and its
completion is now practically solved.
For the past four years the managers
Of the company have been seeking a
right of way through the sacred city
but Dowie has not only refused to
grant the right but he has bitterly con-
tested any effort of the managers and
promoters of the company to take the
right of way by the usual courses of
the courts. A short time ago Dowie
and his attorney spent three days in
the circuit court at Waukegan entering
protests against the company taking
any land from Zion for the uses of the
railway company. At that time he in
formed the company that when Zion
needed railways she would build them
herself and the corporation would have
to carry the fight for the right of way
through the United States courts be-
fore they could run cars, in Zion.
Dowie' schan ge in front will make it
possible for the company to locate the
road in any part of Zion on the East
ern part of the city.
With the consent of Dowie the COM
pany is now in possession of all the
right of way between Wankegan and
Winthrop Harbor. The company had
expected to spend thousands of dollars
to secure these rights, but with the
free gift of DR.. Dowie the cost of the
right of way will be cut in half and
the last reason for the delay in the
building of the road has been removed.
It will now be necessary for the
company to secure few rods Of right
of way south of Kenoshs, and then the
promoters will be in a position TO be-
gin the work of building the line.
It now looks as if the project Of the
late Alexander Clark, for which the
promoter gave his life, will be reality
early next year.

GOOD OLD FASHIONED WAY.
Principal Cephas Leach Formerly of This
City Urges Corporal Punishment.

Principal Cephas Leach Formerly of This
City Urges Corporal Punishment.
Principal Cephas Leach who few
years ago directed the destinies of the
Kenosha schools with stern hand and
who was an ardent disciple of the birch
rod method of government has not
changed his mind since he became a
principal in the schools in Chicago and
in the contest in regard to the best
method for the suppression of anarchy
he has come out as bold defender of
the theory Of corporal punishment. In
an interview yesterday the principal
said:
"When child stubbornly refuses to
learn his lessons anddeliberately turns
his back to the teacher there is no
reason why force should not be used
to bring him to time"
The boys and girls who formerly at
tended the Kenosha schools when Mr..
Leach was principal will bear witness
that he is still working on the lines on
which he worked while here.

Government Agent States That Case Will
heeDropped by the Government.
Miss Geisomine Conforti, the Italian
girl who came to Kenosha from Can
ada after she had been ordered to keep
out of the country by the Immigration
bureau, will remain with her family in
Kenosha.
The Government officials took up the
matter today, and the agent Of the
Government stated it was probable
that no further action would be taken
in regard to the case. He stated that
the young woman was recovering from
the ai1ment of which she had suffered
and that the case would doubtless be
dropped. The affidavit of Miss Con-
forti that she came to Buffalo from
Canada, unattended, seems to have
settled the matter; and the officials de-
cided that if the young woman was
smooth enough to fool the agents at
Buffalo she was good enough to be a
citizen.
The Italian people in the city are re-
ioicing greatly over the fact that the
young lady is to be allowed to remain
here.

KENOSHA UNPLACED.
Secretary Shaw Fails to Take Notice
Of the Bill for a Public Build
ing in This City.
ONLY $4,000 FOR HARBOR WORK.

The first frost on the budding hopes
Of the people of Kenosha to secure a
public building from the present ses-
sion u Congress came Monday, when
Secretaryaof the Treasury Shaw sent
his annual estimate to Congress. In
this estimate he failed to take any no.
tice of the fact that there was a bill
for public building before Congress,
and no appropriation is asked for this
purpose.
This seems to indicate that the Sec
rotary has pretty good notion that
the bill will not be passed at this ses-
sion. Notwithstanding that fact there
will be no let up in the fight for the
passage of the bill, and should it be
passed there will be no trouble in get
ting the money, even if it is not given
a place in the estimate. Not single
new public building in Wisconsin is
mentioned in the estimated expendi-
lures for next year, and the only cities
mentioned in the report are those that
have already secured appropriations,
and the money is now needed Tor the
completion of the work.
Kenosha did score in the way of an
appropriation for the harbor, and the
very large sum of $4,000 was asked for
the harbor for the coming year. This
money is needed for the maintenance
of the harbor, and it will probably be
expended in keeping the piers and
breakwaters in repair.
The city of Racine gets an appro-
priation of $4,000. No other cities in
the State are given large appropria-
tons, and it is evidently the intent of
the Treasurer to cut down expenses as
much as possible. This will not in
any way hinder the plans for the fight
for the Kenosha and Beloit public
buildings.

OFFER FREE TOLLS.
Wisconsin Telephone Company Makes
Big Concessions to the Bristol co.
in Effort to Secure Control.
INDEPENDENT COMPANY ALSO BIDS

a practical union with the lines of
the Wisconsin Telephone company in
the city Of Kenosha is the price which
the managers of the company offered
the managers Of the Bristol Telephone
company for the use of the country
lines at the annual meeting of the di-
rectors of the Country line Monday af-
ternoon. This offer, which was a
greater one than had ever been dreamed
of by the owners of the rural line,
came after sharp clash between the
managers of the Kenosha Telegraph
and Telephone company and the Wis
consin company. In order to secure a
union of the independent lines in the
county, the Independent company In
Kenosha had offered to allow the Bris-
to1 company to connect with the Keno
sha lines, charging the Bristol COM
pany toll of five cents for every call.
The Wisconsin company then hurled
defiance at their new rivals by throw
ing off all toll charges and Offering the
rural line the use of over thousand
phones in the city for the return pri-
vilege of connecting with country
phones. It is reported that the Wis
consin company also offered to pur-
chase outright the property and rights
of the Bristol company, paying the
price demanded by the company.
None of the offers were accepted but
the directors of the Bristol company
| took the matter under consideration
and some action will be taken before
the first of the year. 1t is thought
that the fight will end with the Wis.
consin company securing the connec.
tions desired, and it is possible that
this will be the opening wedge for the
company in the county. AT the meet.
ing the directors elected F. r. Snyder
and c. M. Bishop directors for term
of three years.
The action of the Wisconsin com.
pany shows the length to which the
company is planning to go to defeat
the plans of the Independent company
in this city. J. A. Rowbottom, the
secretary and treasurer of the Bristol
company in an interview today said
'The Bristol company has nothing fol-
] sale, 5at we regard the offer made By
the Wisconsin company as most ad
vantageous one. We certainly shall
not accept any offer from a company
which demands toll for the use of the
Kenosha lines. The matter will prob
ably be left to the Kenosha Telephone
company our Kenosha agents t

two departments of the city are IN
splendid condition.
Investigates Contract.

Attorney Slater sent lengthy opin.
ion to the council in regard to the
lighting contract and held that Il
would be a difficult matter for the city
to break the contract at this time. He
stated that the managers Of the com.
pany insisted that everything possible
was being done to get the lights on
the streets started and that the new
machinery would be ready by the latter
part Of January. Added to this the
attorney showed that by the terms OF
the contract the company was protect
ed in case of accidents. It is just pos
sible that the company could be caught
for violation of contract but it is more
than probable that the city will have to
grin and bear it until the contract runs
its full period.

ton chemical and hose wagon was let

Mayor Pfennig suggested that a

and submitted some figures on the
cost of the bridge to the council. The
matter was presented in so attractive
a form by the Mayor that the Council

City Engineer was instructed to make

can be built at anything like a reason

Kenosha should take some steps to

these desirable plants being located

was no doubt but that the State law
was being violated with impunity in
Kenosha, and that prosecutions should
be made at once.
The State department in answer to
demands for prosecutions has sent back
the reply that there was no money in
hand to be used for fighting such cases
and if the prosecutions are to be car
ried to successful termination the
money must be supplied by private
sources.

ship Is In Sight.
Dovie's usually big meeting at Zion
City Sunday Afternoon was not as
large IS usual, ewing to the removal
of the special trains from Chicago by
the Northwestern road. Dowie was
feeling good and declared that Zion is
today stronger than ever, and that, in
one or two days at the outside, the re-
ceivers will be removed. He stated
that the greatest asset Zion possesses
is "the stability of Zion."
During this week of unusual trou-
bles, Zion can boast that there has not
been one coward amongst u.s. said
Dowie. mot one person has deserted,
but every citizen has expressed loyalty
and Willingness to give his all and even
die for Zion, if need be-
Dowie said that he was getting fat
over his recent troubles, and that he
weighed 210 pounds.
Mother Stewart, of saloon breaking
fame, was carried to the platform and
the overseer kissed her. She is feeble
and lies in an invalid's chair. She
testified her loyalty to Zion, and said
she was happy in her new life.
Confident over the prospective vic
tory which Zion is to have in the fight
against the bankruptcy proceedings,
Dowie has served notice on the North
Western road that, unless the company
reinstates all the Dowieite followers,
recently removed at the Zion City sta
ton, restores the cheap rates to Chi
cago, and puts back the trains which
have been removed because the com
pany became vexed over zion's failure
to meet payments, by the middle of
this week, the Milwaukee road will be
invited to build a branch from Wads-
worth to Zion City, about five miles,
and q boycott will be declared on the
Norths Western.
