Centennial Anniversary

Prof. Edwin Erie Sparks. of the
University of Chicago. wants all of
the historic spots in Chicago suitably
tableted before the centennial ceIe-
bration in September. and his sug-
gestion will be considered at the next
meeting Of the executive committee.
In letter to Secretary Macloon
Prof. Sparks says:
AS citizen of Chicago and one
interested in Chicago history I ven
ture to suggest the thought, in con-
nection with the proposed celebra-
ton of the semi-anniversary of the
city, that the most historic places he
marked with sings properly made
for that purpose. Few people know
the outlines of the old fort inclos-
ure or the site of the old lighthouse.

with the most gratifying success at

tavern in Chicago as we'll as the
building in which Lincoln was NOM
mated, occupying the same ground,
Is without anything to call public
attention and possibly is not known
to thousands who pass it,
Among the historic spots which
Prof. Sparks suggests for tableting
are the following: Site of old block
house, outlines Of old fort, site of
Lake house, former mouth of river.
republican wfgwam, Rookery, out
lines of great fire. St. Mary's Cath
Ole church, Saugenash tavern, Kinzie
residence, first post office, Green Tree
tavern. Father Kinnison's grave, sa-

Galena Union and Chicago railroad
station. Ogden house site in path of
great fire (but unburned), site of first
public school. outlines of Camp Doug
las, outlines of confederate camp, ex-
position building site.
When this matter is being taken
under consideration Prof. Sparks will
be invited to speak before the execu-
tive committee of the centennial cele-
bration. Chairman Plamondon said:
"The suggestion is highly COM
mendable one, and it would in my
opinion be duty of this committee
to arrange to tablet these spots in
such manner that the work will
be permanent

seems certain that the death list will
not be much short of 100, perhaps
somewhat over 100, considering the
number of dangerously wounded
whose chances for recovery cannot
now be calculated. But through all
the gloom and desolation that sur

of the effects of the tornado in
Gainesville and it's environs: One
hundreds killed; $50 injured, of whom
probably 20 will die: 800 homeless,
their residences having been wiped
out of existence; property loss of
about $500,000, none of which was
covered by storm insurance.
The death list so far compiled in

first struck.
A Mass Of Ruins.
The entire pathway of the storm.
extending two miles from the Gaines

city to the Pacolet mills at New Hol-

most entirely suspended throughout
the city, the attention of everybody
being given to the care of the wound

medical attention, many surgeons be-

One of the chief aims of Rev. Ev-
ers in revising the venerable hymn
book of the church of Sweden, which
has been IN use since 1919, seems
to have been to make it more ortho-
dox. The value anu desirability of
good works is praised in manifold
ways in the old book. But this is
supposed to be too ''synergistic'' for
our times. Accordingly, Rev. Evers
has weeded out a number of "syn-
ergistic'' hymns, and in other cases
he has cut the word "virtue'' and put
something more timely and ortho-
dox in it's place.

PAY HEAVY FINES
Inmates Of the Disorderly House at the
Four Corners Finally Cited in
the Courts.
ALVIN BROWN IS BOUND OVER
Man who Is Alleged to Have Shot VanDusen
Dollars and Is Released.

The disorderly house at the "Four
Corners which has SO long been an
eye sore to the town of Pleasant Prai-
RE got bad bump in the Justice
Court of George B. McCarron last
night when the different inmates of
the house and the proprietors were
arrested, and before the cases were
disposed of the various members of the
arrested group paid into the school
fund the sum of $143.54. Justice Nc
Carron didn't waste any time flning
the members of the party, and the
fines are probable large enough to
keep the place out Of business for
several weeks at least.
The six habitues of the place were IN
Kenosha to give testimony at the pre-
liminary hearing of Alvin Brown
charged with shooting with intent to
kill Fred VanDusen and Joseph Van
Est and as soon as the hearing IN the
case was concluded Chief of Police
Reino1d took the whole crowd into
custody. The warrants called for the
arrest of Henry VanDusen, Fred Van
Dusen, Rose Lewis, Frances Collins,
Joseph Doris and Joseph VanEst. All
the people arrested were charged with
being inmates of a disorderly house.
For time it looked as if the arrested
parties would make fight and
an attorney was retained to make
a fight of the case, but after short
conference had been held the men and
women decided to plead guilty and
pay their fines. The justice made the
assessments as follows: Rose Lewis
$40 and costs, Frances Collins SIS and
costs, Fred VanDusen $40 and costs,
Joe VanEste $40 and costs, Joe Doris
$40 and costs. Henry VanDusen, who
is recognized as the proprietor OF the
place was fined $40 dollars and costs.
VanDusen paid all the fines and the
six returned to the resort last night.
The district attorney has served a
new notice on the town board of Pleas
ant Prairie to close the resort, and if
this is not done the attorney will begin
an action of criminal nature against
some Of their inmates of the place.
The hearing of the Brown case was
concluded late Thursday afternoon on
the evidence of the shooting as pre-
scented by the different people at the
house Brown was bound over to the
circuit court, and his bonds fixed at
$1,000. Brown did not take the stand
in his own defense and no evidence
was introduced for the defense.
Brown remained in jail only few
minutes, bonds being furnished by
John Fox.
