Carl Springborn, Well Known Pioneer
Resident Of the Town Of Paris
Found Dead tuesday.
CORONER FINDS HEART DISEASE.
Jacob Kreuscher Finds Springhorn's Body
and He Had Evidently Been Dead for
some Time Inquest Unnecessary

The dead body of Carl Springbcrn
one of the Oldest and best known resi-
dents Of the town Of Paris was found
lying in grass plat in front of the
home of the deceased shortly after
three O'Clock Tuesday afternoon. The
appearance of the body when found
showed signs of struggle and DIR.
Lansdowne the county coroner was at
once called to Paris to investigate the
matter. After full investigation of
all the circumstances in the case the
coroner deemed that it was unneces-
sary to summon jury and found that
the deceased died from heart disease.
The body was found shortly after
three O'Clock by Jacob Kreuscher who
had gone to the Springborn farm on :
business errand. The body was lying
directly in front of the steps of the
house and the hands of the man cold
in death still clutched at the front of
the shirt which he wore. Spring born
had lived alone on his little farm for
the past seventeen years and during
the day he had been visiting at the
home of his sister few miles from his
farm. During the day he had COM
planned of spells Of dizziness but when
he had started for home he appeared
to be in the best of health and spirits.
It is supposed that he was seized with
an attack of heart failure and had sat
down on the stoop to rest before going
into the house. He had evidently fall
en- from the steps and in an effort to
secure air had torn his clothing from
his body. The death of the old man
who was universally known IN the
com munity caused profound sensa-
ton and many people hurried to the
forsaken home to assist in paying the
last care and tribute to the dead. !
The deceased has long been a famil-
lar figure among the farmers of the
town of Paris. He was fifty-eight
years of age and had spent nearly his
entire life in Paris. He was native
of Germany but had come to Kenosha
county when young man and by hard
work and frugal living had managed
to get small farm on which he had
planned to spend his declining years.
He had never MARI ID and for the past
seventeen years he had lived alone.
The funeral will be held from the
Methodist church in Paris on Thurs
day afternoon at two O'Clock and the
remains will be buried at the Plank
Road cemetery.

STARK MEETS THE PRESIDENT
Former Pastor Of the Swedish Lutheran
Church Granted an Interview.

Former Pastor OF the Swedish Lutheran
Church Granted an Interview.
IF you have letter of introduction
! rom Mr.. Dawes, that is quite suffi-
cient,'' said President Roosevelt few
days ago to Rev. G.. K. Stark, pastor of
the Swedish Lutheran Emmanuel
church of Evanston. This expression
of regard for the ex-comptroller Of the
currency was echoed by all whom Or.
Stark met in Washington. Mr.. Dawes
was not only well known, he was favor
ably known, in the highest circles.
These voluntary testimonials to the
worth of prominent and esteemed
Evanstonian are particularly plea sing
to his fellow-citizens here.
Rev. Stark has returned from three
weeks trip east as far as New York.
He also wished friends in Fittsburg
and Philadelphia, where he preached.
He went east as a delegate to the Luth-
Gran general councils semi-annual
meeting in Morristown. On his way
east he stopped off at Washington,
where he had the honor to have pri-
vate interview with President Roose-
welt. The president displayed an init
mate knowledge of the history and
traditions of the Lutheran church and
declared that it was destined
to be powerful and leading fac
tor in American professionalism. He
expressed an appreciation of the Lrth-
eran churches conservative evangeli-
cal position that would seem quite ex-
aggerated had he not given evidence
of his absolute sincerity. Admitting
that the president might be inclined to
be profuse in his praises, he has given
evidence on more than one occasion
than he recognizes the full worth of
that large immigration from Lutheran
Germany and Scandinavia of people,
which, with their numerous progeny,
forms at present the religious, moral
and Industrial backbone of not few
states in the union-Evanston Press.

Two Thousand Weary Crusaders Ar
rive in Zion City This After
noon From New York.
SEE SUCCESS OF UNDERTAKING
Dowie WI. Remain Behind and Continue
His Onslaught on the Press of New j.
York for Another Week
(From Tuesdays Daily,)

Zion City is herself again, for this
afternoon two thousand of the weary
crusaders who have been in New York
with the prophet for the last fortnight
returned home. They alighted from
the five trains singing songs of praise,
and tits evident that not any of the men
of Zion who were in New York had
their faith shaken by the cold and
heart1ess reception accorded to their
leader.
The scenes at the return of the host
were quite as brilliant as those at the
departure. Hundreds Of people crowd.
ed the platform at the city from eleven
o'clock until the last train load of cru.
saders arrived at half past one, and
the returning members of the church
were given a hearty welcome. The
trains were soon out OF the yards at
Zion and the men and wou1en hurried
from the station to their homes and
back to their different fields of labor in
the city.
The world has placed the
stamp of dismal failure on the crusade
Of Dowie in New York but his friends
and co-workers place another stamp
upon it and claim that the work of
Zion has been given an impetus in
the great wicked city which will result
in thousands if not hundreds of thous-
ands being brought into the Christian
Catholic church. Dowie is now prac.
tically alone in the city waging his
unequal battle against the wickedness
of the city and the perversity of the
New York preys. He has furnished
New York with a novelty but New
York seems to have failed to appreci-
ate it as it is claimed that for the $780,
600 spent on the crusade he has secur.
ed but fifty-six converts and only four
teen of these are residents of New
York City. Dowie will continue the
fight for another week and most of the
meetings will now be held at Carnegie
Hall.
With the return of the host one of
the most remarkable movements in
the history of modern religion ends.
For fortnight Dowie and his city to
the south of .Kenosha have been the
most prominent thing in news circles
in the country. Dowie has made the
world wonder if not believe in him.
His fantasies have not been as well
presented in New York as they were in
Chicago, but Dowie has declared that
this work was simply preliminary to
greater work.
In speaking to the host just before
they left for their home, Dowie said
cit is easier for us to bear what the
world calls defeat than it would be
for the world to call it victory. We
have done the work that we have sci
out to do, and nothing remains but fol
One who is greater than all to put His
stamp of approval upon it,
There were few people returned
from New York with the host today
and it is claimed that many others will
come to Zion City in the near future.

THE bill providing for the post check
currency system twill be one Of the
important measures to engage the at
tention of the coming regular session
Of Congress. The plan provides for
the issue by the government Of bills of
small denomination with blank spaces
for the remitter and payee and one in
which the payee may write his own
name as receiver. One of the distinct
advantages of the plan is that by the
continued reissue of the bills the paper
money'of the country would be kept in
a comparatively clean and sanitary
condition. There can be no doubt but
that the filthy condition Of much of the
paper money in use at present is re.
sponsible Tor the transmission of dis.
ease. The plan.was muchIdiscussed al
the time the bill wasI before Congress
at the last session and seemed to meet
with approval in all sections of the
country.
