LAY THE CORNER STONE
Many English Lutherans Come From
Other Cities to Witness Ceremonies.

Many English Lutherans Come From
Other Cities to Witness Ceremonies
For nearly two hours Sunday after
noon the avenues and lawns in the
vicinity of the new English Lutheran
church, in process of erection on the
corner of Prairie ard Lyman avenues,
were thronged with people who had
gathered to witness and participate in
the exercises connected with the lay
ing of the corner stone of the new
church.
A large delegation of English Luth-
Grams from Racine was present to re-
joice with the members of Grace con-
gregation. A neat program was dis
tributed containing the order of service
for laying of a corner stone, as found
IN the English Lutheran church book
At the proper place in the program the
Rev. P. E. Baisler, pastor of the
church, laid the stone, striking the
stone three times with a trowel as he
pronounced the words of the holy
trinity.
After the singing of a hymn the
Rev. G. F. Gehr, of the church of the
Holy Communion, Racine, delivered an
interesting and eloquent address based
on Isa. 28:16. Rev. Gehr showed the
importance and significance of the
corner stone in a material structure
and how this is typical of Christ, the
chief corner stone-the corner stone of
that spiritual structure. the church
the church universal of which all true
believers in Christ as their savior, are
part.
The Rev. DR.. w. K. Frick, pastor of
the church of the Redeemer, Milwau-
kee, in his happy way showed the i'm
portance of building all our church
doctrines upon Christ, the Crock of
Ages" DR.. Frick urged the import
ance Of guarding against the modern
tendency to undermine the "Eterna1
Rock of Truth that "Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of the Living God"
That as Lutherans, the members of
the Christ, accept the bible. not as con-
tanning the word of God, but as being
the word Of God. That there is no
theological professor in amy of the
Lutheran seminaries who is tinged
with destructive higher criticism which
would deny the inspiration of the BIZ
BILE as the word of God.
The work on the new church is to
be pushed forward as rapidly as posi-
BILE. The church is to be ready for the
use Of the congregation before winter
sets in. The basement will be COM
pleted first and used for the services Of
the congregation until the auditorium
is completed.
The church will be beautiful struc-
ture of pressed brick and will be per-
fectly in keeping with it's surroundings
on pretty Prairie avenue.

CROP A FAILURE.
Kenosha County Farmers Will Probably
be Forced co Buy Potatoes for Winter.

Kenosha County Farmers Will Probably
be Forced Co Buy Potatoes for Winter.
Accurate reports from most of the
districts in Kenosha countys seem to
indicate that potatoes will be very
scarce article in this county during the
coming winter, as the potato crop is
almost a complete failure. The con-
tinued wet weather has played havoc
with the tubers, and in many fields the
potatoes have rotted In the ground.
Some of the farmers by digging the
potatoes early have managed to save
half crop, but in most cases the
potatoes have been allowed to rot in
the ground.
Reports from the northern counties
of the state, seem to indicate that the
crop will also be shori in that section
of the state and for this reason it is
expected that the prices demanded for
the product will be high,

breathing heavily and before she could
reach the room he had already expired.
The deceased was forty years of age

and when twenty-four years of age he
came to this city and began to work

had been employed by the company
ev n since.

number of children.
The announcement of the death of

BLAZE AT TANNERY.

Early Morning Fire at Big Plant Calls on
Fire Department.-No Loss Reported.
The fire department was called out
at half past six O'Clock this morning
by small blaze in the Allen taunery.
The fire was in the leech room and is
supposed to have originated in the
dust about the room. The department
responded rapidly to the call and the
blaze was easily extinguished by the
use Of the chemical. The loss was
iuconsiderate.
On account of the high wind that
was blowing at the time of the FIRE it
was feared that the blaze would spread
to other portions of the building but
the firemen had no trouble in subdu-
ing the blaze.

 That new era has begun to dawn since that time is apparent in many ways. Then the prejudice against for eign institutions was so great that no Chinese student dared to remove his queue when he donned American clothes. The students who aecompa- nied MT. Cheng, however. removed these distfnctiveIy Chinese badges on the steamer, and declare they have no fear of consequences when they return. II is further announced that the custom of deforming the feet of the girls is no longer an absolute requirement among the aristocracy of China. When such prejudices as these can be put aside in deference to civilization there is hope that China may yet overtake her neigh bor Japan in accepting improved GUS toms without regard 10 the nation from whom they are borrowed. If China will be willing to adopt the best that comes in her way, she will prove that the prejudices that have so long en- thralled her have at last been broken. If she shows willingness to accept the better and does not reject it simply be- cause it is foreign, then it must be ad- mitted that "a new era is dawning for China. ."-Providence Journal

NEARLY SOO,OOO.

The bureau in charge of immigration statistics estimates that the number of immigrants for the year 1903 entering at the port of New York will be nearly s00,00O, larger than the previous high est record of 7S3,992 Tn 1882, twenty-one years ago. This estimated immigration exceeds the total number of native American whites born of native parents in the city in 1900. Then these consti- tuted but 215 per cent. of the total population of Greater New York and but 16.9 per cent. of the population of Manhattan borough. These percentages are bound to decrease A large pro- portion of the immigrants now coming will remain in New York, perhaps a. smaller proportion than formerly, but one large enough to appreciably effect the characters of the city. Most of southern and eastern Europe, Italy's percentage being the largest of any. To the present high tide of prosperity prevalent in the country, this great in- Aux is attributed, in general way. More specifically the immense under ground works now in progress or about to be begun are the inducements to the l of immigrants.

THE WICKhD M0AOUI1O.

Professor c. W. Herrick, of the Mis- sissippi Agricultural College, in "The Popular Science Monthly" for this month, presents some interesting facts, deductions and conclusions regarding the evils end fatalities wrought by ma laria upon the human race. His statis- tics are gathered mainly from the southern point of view, but have great pertinence on the subject and are of general application. He finds that the totals of deaths from several different causes for the year ending May S1, 1900, in his own State and Louisiana, Alaba- ma, Georgia and South Carolina, are as follows: Consumption, 11,595; pneumo- mia, 1o,494; typhoid fever, 6.715; heart disease 5,S29, and malaria, ATS.
 | But the dire effects of malaria do not ali appear from this summing up, as the Professor finds that the resultant l impairment and enfeeblement of the
  larial attacks proves permanently dis astrous in great many cases, and pre- disposes to attacks of other diseases which in many cases prove fatal. As to the causes of malarial attacks, Pro- lessor Herrick finds that the inhalation of grip bacteria, especially by enfeebled persons, is in part responsible, and that mosquito bites also poison the blood of such people. From continued observa- ton on the subject he is led to the be- lief that mosquitoes prefer the blood of run down, debilitated and exhausted persons and rapaciously select them as their victims whenever they can doing so with their customary bloodthirsty cheerfulness. The Investigations and suggestions of Professor Herrick are certainly interesting and worth consid- ering.

AS TSUAL.

April has brought us March weather thus far in this month of tears and joy. March brought us Aprirs warmth and sunshine, minus to some extent April's showers. It isn't far from hence to ''the good old summer time'' when we shall flock to the shores to keep cool and hear what the wild waves are say ing. Just now a myriad of spectators and investors are more or less anxious Iy enquiring as to what Wall street is saying. The prognosticators are kept busy guessing. On the one hand the bears. who have been having their in- nings and some of whom are waxing fat, proclaim that the tide of prosperity in the country has not only reached it's crest, but did that last summer, and that from now on with alternate dips and feeble rallies the trend of stocks is downward. The bulls protest on their part that the bears have about got to the end of their rope and have more than discounted tight money and the evils that follow in its train in Wall street. They maintain that the tight money prevailing is due to an overflow ing or glut of prosperity which surely is not ar argument for further tumble in stocks. They point to the continued vast earnings of the railroads and the great prosperity of the iron trade as unerring evidences that it is no time for a prolonged bearish attitude, but rather a time to bull stocks. The bears point to the ''undigested mass of securities hanging over the market ready to sop up ready money as fast and faster than it accumulates. And so it goes. Mean while the public looks on and does not get into the swim, somewhat appalled, both by the vast increases in the stocks of even the most solid railroad corpo- rations and the aforesaid mass of undi- gested securities. But Wall street well knows how to interest the public and when the time comes for bull talk and for the band to begin to play cheerfully no doubt the public will step in and dance to the music as usual.

Railroad earnings continue enormous, despite Wall streets gloom and pessi- fnism. Roads reporting for March show, as rule, big gains over March, 1902, Missouri Pacific, for instance, in- creasing $403O00, the gain for the last week in the month amounting to $296,- 900. Chesapeake and Ohio shows a gain of $141,0 for the month, and Norfolk and Western a gain of $433,4 ,4S9 South ern railways earnings for the last week in March increased $195,225. Mis- souri, Kansas and Texas increased for the same time $53,969, and reports of all southern roads showed noteworthy inn provement over the corresponding time in the preceding year. In the North the heavy movement of freight is re- feeted in the gross gain by the New York Central of 900 for the month of March. Railroad officers are unani- nous in the belief that prosperity will continue unabated for the railroads throughout the current year, as the whole country is busy with industrial activity that exhibits pronounced indi- cations of constant expansion. The winter wheat acreage is larger than it was a year ago, while the condition or the growing grain is far superior to that reported at this time last year, and it is expected that the yield in 1903 will be the heaviest on record, Kansas alone counting on one hundred million bushels.
