!. F. Doan, Alleging to Work For the
DeIineator Company, Working in
This City and Vicinity.
REWARD OFFERED FOR HIS ARREST
Company Asserts That the Man Is an Im-
postor and Is willing to Pay Literally
For His Apprehension.

Look out for mild hammered young
man who may cali upon you 10 solicit
subscription TO the Delineator.
Recently the mildRnannered man in
question devoted his talent and few
days time to this district. He is Of
medium height, has a darkascomp1ex-
ion and his hair was parted in the
middle.
To his victims he stated..that his
name was ]. F. Doan and,that his home
was at Rockford, where a wife and
babies dependent upon him for sup
port were awaiting his home looming.
He further claimed that he had been
burning large quantities Of Mr.. Rookie
feller's best midnight oil in pursuit of
wisdom at Beloit College, and that it
was a desire to return thither and
burn more oil that promptedshim to go
from door to door in search of sub
scribers to anything asi worldly as
journal devoted to feminine fashions.
How many people gave up their
money to this swindler is not known,
but it is probable that he collected
enough money to keep up with tn rise
in the price of Kerosene.
One lady who gave the mild manner
ed young man dollar and failed to
receive the journal, becoming suspic-
ious, wrote to the publishers, the But
terick Publishing Company Qimited)
of New York, and received the follow
ing reply:
1--WE have your favor of recent date.
In reply would say your Delineator
subscription has not been reported to-
us and we do not know Mr.NDoan, to
whom you refer.
1--WE have been annoyed from time
to time by the operations of parties
who claim to be in our employ and we
have standing offer of $50 reward for
the arrest and conviction for a period
of three mouths or over of anybody
falsely representing US.
eff you should hear anything fur
Their regarding his operations kindly
notify the authorities, at the same
time writing u.s.
So if the mild hammered young man
visits you, remember he may give you
a chance to pick up $50 in an easy
manner.

Five Hundred of the Members of ZiOp Host
Start for Home.
Five hundred of the followers Of
John Alexander Dowie who accompan-
led him to New York are expected to
reach Zion City Sunday morning.
They have had enough of crusading
and are coming home discouraged and
disheartened. Dowie has not made
the success he had expected and his
followers one by one are firing Of the
hard work on the streets of Gotham
and tits thought that the prophet will
be practically deserted before the close
of the two weeks meetings. Dowie
claims that the people are returning to
Zion City in order to allow others o go
to New York and assist in the work.
Mrs. Dowie and her son left yester-
day for Australia and from now on
the doctor will have no assistant in his
big job in New York.
Dowie is banking a great deal on
Sunday and he believes that the great
awakening of the people will start at
that time. New York has recovered
from the novelty and while Dowie is
still addressing large crowds the mobs
that characterized the first few days of
the meetings have disappeared and all
is quiet about Madison Square.

Al the extra session of Congress
which convenes on Nov. 9th, the Cuban
Reciprocity treaty will be the only
business considered. It is expected
however that all the preliminary work
of organizing both houses of Congress
will be done at this extra session and
that Congress will be ready to take up
its regular work Immediately upon the
commencement of the regular session
the first Monday in December. The
senate has already ratified the reci-
procitV treaty but it cannot become
binding. until the house of represent
atives passes measure revising the
revenue laws to correspond with the
changes provided by the treaty. AS
ratified by the senate the treaty pro-
vides that all importations of Ameri-
can goods into Cuba now admitted
duty free shall continue upon the free
list and that reduction of 20, per cent
shall be made from the regular i'm
port duties on all goods, except items
enumerated in three separate SEIZED.
uies, which are now upon the duty
list. Upon the three schedules men.
fioued the reduction provided is for Is.
30 and 40 per cent respectively. On all
goods imported into the United States
from Cuba fat reduction of 20 per
cent from the Established tariff duties
is provided for While the opposition
TO the treaty is as determined as ever
the friends Of the measure anticipate
little difficulty in securing its passage
az this session. The sentiment Of the
country is overwhelmingly in favor of
carrying out every promise made to
the Cubans either expressed or implied.
Furthermore leaving aside all senti-
mental considerations and viewing
the treaty from plain practical bust
ness standpoint which it must be ad-
Knitted appears to appeal to some Of t..s
re representatives. more than an uoral
obligation, it would be folly to let this
opportunity pass to secure the trade of
Cuba for the United States. The
treaty would give American goods an
unassailable position ia the Cuban
market. No foreign goods could hope
TO compete with those of American
manufacture under the conditions of
the treaty and the United States would
have practically trade monopoly in
market whose purchasing power is
constantly increasing.

THE American Park and Outdoor
Art Association has started move
ment 70 secure the observance of an
.Arbor day late in the fall, varying in
different localities from the latter part
of October to the early part of Novem-
her. The selection of an Arbor day 10
May has proved an unwise choice, as
1T is toolate in the season to secure the
best results in tree planting in most of
the States. There is no particular
sentiment connected with the choice Of
a day in May as Arbor day, and if bet
Ter results can be secured by changing
the date there is no reason why it
should not be done.

BUILDS A RACE TRACK.
Heating and Hecker Horses to be Trained
on the Heating Farm Near City.

Kenosha horsemen are to have a
track for use in training their horses
as yesterday afternoon John Keating
broke ground on his farm west of the
city for the installation of half mile
track. While the primary purpose in
building the track is to secure place
for the training Of the fast horses own
ed by Mr.. Heating the Kenosha horse
men of the whole city will be permit.
ted to use the track and it is expected
that many an exciting race will be
pulled off there in the future.
The track is being built in the most
modern manner and it is expected that
it will be completed within the next
few weeks. Mr.. Heating now has
four horses at the track ready to be
placed in the hands of the trainers.
One of them is "Mallory" the unfort-
innate candidate of the Heating and
Hecker stables for the last American
Derby. Mallory is rounding into
shape again and it is possible that he
will be in condition to go on the track
during the coming season. Two other
colts of great promise will have their
training on the track. Both,are of the
"Flying Dutchman" stock. One is
called "Black Dutchman" while the
other is called after a niece of Mr..
Heating, "Grace Elliott" Both colts
will be ready for the track next season
and, great things are expected of them.
One of the traditions of horse racing
in Kenosha is no more as Heating and
Hecker have disposed of "The Baird"
to Chicago parties and it is hardly pos
sible that the horse will ever run
under Kenosha colors again. Baird"
brought $1050.

DOG THIEVES ARE ABOUT.

Organized Gang Who Visit Here,

Is there an organized gang of dog
thieves in Chicago who visit Racine,
Kenosha, Milwaukee and other Wis.

This belief prevails among some own
ers OF blooded CANNES. Every few
weeks reports reach the police Office of
dogs having disappeared and all efforts
to locate them fail. Last week North

and another a setter. They were in
formed that two men were seen lead
ing the dogs near Racine college.
Hastily getting a horse and buggy
they started south and came upon the
men going west toward Racine juno

they we're from Chicago, but denied
having stolen.the dogs, claiming tina;

This is only one instance where dogs

reported that often dogs are placed on
trains al Racine Junction tagged for
Chicago. In Milwaukee a collie dog
is missing. It is the most valuable
animal owned there and a reward of

Stewart, when he
Musical Voice. tri.d IN s+,nd on
the front platforms: "iou must get
inside" and the result is that Motor
man Macadam is now taking lessons in
school of opera at the instigation
and solicitation of Mr.. Stewart. Mr..
Stewart recognized in the mellow and
resonant tones with which those four
words were spoken that their owner
had magical voice, and, though he
got inside, he took the motorman's
number; not for the usual purpose OF
writing an unpleasant letter to the
company, but to bring about further
acquaintance. This is probably the
first time on record that motorman
has been rewarded through making a
passenger obey the rules. Usually,
observes the St. Louis Globe-Democrat,
such beginning is followed by high
keyed controversy in which both
voices range through the lower, mid
die and higher registers without any
thing musical or harmonious being
observed by either disputa"t or the
other passengers. If there is any tim
bre at all recognizab bic it is splintery
and unsatisfactory. The incident
serves to point out that every man who
earnestly and honestly strives to do
his duty will be requited. Motorman
Macadam only sought to compel his
benefactor to get inside; and now he
is on the high road to being famous
opera singer. Moral, tell everybody
to get inside and see what will happen.

A south pole expedition is the proper
thing. The north pole is worn thread
r, bare. Even if it
is found it will be
a chestnut. 1t has
been talked to death. The south pole
is something of dark horse. We shall
hereafter give our adherence to the
south pole. 1t is just as good a pole as
the other and there is no reason on
earth why its antipCCal rival should
monopolize all the glory and newspa-
per advertising. \ pole is pole, and
this earth could no more revolve with
out the southern one than the north
ern one. The north pole, Of course,
says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat,g got
the start among writer's and they have
are nearly bored to Death. We think
the north pole is greatly overrated.
When it is discovered, mark our word,
it Will be found to be very ordinary
object. The earth is slightly tlattened
at the poles, say geographers, and
there has been such a stream Of travel
over the territory near the north pole
that it is now probably great deal
more fattencd than the other and not
near as serviceable or slightly pole.
Any fastidious person would prefer a
pristine pole-one from which the
bloom has not been rubbed, one that
has not been coquetted with by man
from immemorial time. \ pole that is
surrounded by primeval icebergs that
are not speckled thick with cans of
tomatoes, broken sledges, broken
promises, skins of Eskimo dogs, frozen
toes and frozen profanity left behind
by previous polar picnic parties is by
far the more charming. The north
pole must look like the vicinity of the
Yellowstone geysers, the Yosemite val
ley, Mount Washington and Coney Is
land by this til pc, when we considerthe
vast nuhbtbbf excursions that have
taken place'to it and the debris they
aaVe left behind. 1t is gettingtoo COM
mon. Nature there must have lost the
ursophist icated face it wore when DR..
Franklin first sailed those seas. If you
want to avoid the crowd go to the
south pole.
