THE law :has invaded the sacred
precincts of Zion and the city of the
prophet is in the hands of a receiver
appointed by the federal court. Dowie,
however, is confident that the present
trouble is only passingScloud and
the sun of prosperity will again shine
on his city. Nobody but Dowie knows
how much Zion owes but the claims 50
fairfield aggregate only small sum in
comparison with the assets of the
Christian Catholic church as Dowie
calls his organization. The wealth of
Zion has been variously estimated at
anywhere from FIVE to twenty-five
millions and the claims of the creditors
who secured the appointment of re-
ceiver only total $4,000. All the other
debts of Zion will probably be brought
out in the receivership proceedings
and it will then be possible to estimate
the resources and liabilities of Dowie
with some degree of accuracy. E0People
who know somethingSof the. business
of Zion believe that Dowie will be able
to weather the present storm and that
his embarrassment is only temporary.
He has alwayss been equal to every
emergency confronting him in the
past and he is not going to let his stu
pendous undertaking go down in fail.
ure without desperate effort to save
it and himself. In spite of the failure
of tne New York crusade his followers
still have confidence in him and they
will come to his rescae with every cent
they have. In view of the facts in the
case the rejoicing and moralizing over
the downfall Of the false prophet
seems to be a little premature.

Norwegians Make Good Americans.

Norwegians Make Good Americans.
Henry Bordenich, the United States
consul general at Christiania, Norway,
reports that during the year 1902 the
emigrants from Norway to the United
States numbered $1,000, and 1903 prom
ises still larger figures. The reasons
for the great increase in emigration
during the last few years are to be
found in scarcity Of work, poor pros
poets for the future, high taxation and
information received from friends in
the United States Of the satisfactory
conditions found here. Large sums
Of money are sent from Norwegians
in the United States to their relatives
here. The amount in 1902 has been
estimated at no less than 81 100000
The Norwegians are among the most
desirable immigrants that come to this
country. They mainly settle on the
agricultural lands Of the northwest,
where they have become a powerful
factor in the development of the coun-
try. They are Industrious and eco
nomical, taking kindly to our institu-
lions, and make good citizens. We
have plenty of room in this country for
these hardy descendants of the vi
kings.

John Mitchell's Advice.

1t is generally conceded that John
Mitchell is one of the most popular and
clear headed Of all the leaders of or
ganized labor. He has shown himself
to be a man Of breadth Of view, of toll
Grant spirit and of careful judgment,
and thoughtful labor unionists listen
when he speaks. In an address be-
fore the University club in New York
the other day he said:
am glad to have an opportunity of say
ing in New York that my chief business is
not the organization of strikes I abhor
strikes They bring misery and hardship
to too many men and women. I am in
favor of a strike only when all other
means to get the just rights of labor have
failed. And am glad to tell you that the
understanding between labor and capital
is getting better every day.
1t must not be supposed that the trade
agreement will prevent all strikes. 1t will
undoubtedly minimize these industrial
conflicts by obviating misunderstanding,
by showing each side the position of the
other, by creating a more friendly feeling
between employers and employees and,

when they do occur, so widespread, gem

will be avoided.
This is sane and wholesome advice,
nor is it by any means solely applica-
BILE to the labor end of industrial con-
troversies. The employer as we'll as
the employee will do well to take it to
heart

ROUND THE GLOBE.
Rambler Automobile PiIoted by H. C.
Muller Touches Weird Cities
of the Orient.
STILL GOES TO PASS CHRISTIAN.

Kenosha is being advertised in every
corner of the globe but the city will
get great deal of advertising out Of a
spectacular trip around the world that
is now being made by H. C. Muller of
the Muller, McC1ain & Co., of New
York. Mr.. Muller is driving a Ram
bier carriage and he has promised to
take the carriage and the fame of Ke-
nosha into every known nation of the
world. Just al present he is scurrying
across the plains of historic India and
when he reaches Bombay in few
weeks he will receive a new Rambler
carriage which has been shipped to
him by the Thomas B. Jeffery Com
pany. This will be the introduction of
the auto in Bombay and it is expected
that the coming of the Rambler will
be great event in the history of
India. Before his trip around the
globe is completed Mr.. Muller will in
troduce the Rambler in many places
where the automobile has never been
seen.
The trip of Mr.. Muller has already
begun to bear results as yesterday the
Jeffery Company shipped six machines
to the Island of New Zealand and three
to the Hawaiian Islands. One was
also started on long journey for
Capetown, South Africa.
Willie Still, the popular instructor
of the Kenosha Country Club, will not
remain in Kenosha during the present
winter but early in January he will
leave for Pass Christian, Miss, where
he has been engaged as instructor of
the Golf Club for the winter season.
The club is one of the best known in
the South and the selection of Mr.. Still
as instructor is high compliment to
him. Mr.. Still will remain in the
South for several weeks but will return
to Kenosha in time to begin his duties
with the Kenosha club at the opening
of the next club season.

Postmasters hereafter will
not be permitted to rent boxes
to minors without the written
consent of their parents. This
order was made by the post
office department to correct an
abuse growing out of the fact
that minor girls rent boxes and
open up correspondence with
outside parties and in that way
keep the correspondence a
secret from their parents. This
is a good ruling and will doubt
less put a stop to much firta-
Ition. 1t may also stop a more
serious evil. When a girl has a
