is the famous Bible which belonged to
the Emperor Constantine, whose i'll
itials are still to be seen on the cover.
Collections of ancient church vestments
and OF Papal coins and medals will be

During his stay in st. Louis Father
Ehrle will be the guest of the Jesuit
Fathers ut the st. Louis university. At

1t took an Englishman, J. T. Helby
of the London school board, to make
the discovery that the two principal
causes of imbecility among children
are strong drink and the present edu-
cational system. The offspring of in
temperate parents are likely to be de-
fective to begin with and the forcing
process of the schools does the rest.
Mr.. Helby's statement may seem lit
tie strong. but it is worth considering,
says the Minneapolis Daily Times.

Patrick Egan recently addressed the
following letter to the editor of the
Irish World:
Now that the United States supreme
court has decided that the person
known as Lynchhaun, whose real
name is Thomas Walsh, is not to be
handed over to the British authorities,
and has turned him loose in this coun-
try, sincerely hope that our Irish
American fellow countrymen will
promptly permit the fellow to drop out
of sight.
Some of our sensational American
papers have been publishing lot of
stupid but misleading rubbish about
him. One of them speaks of him as q
man "once loved by the Irish peasan-'
try as the leader of the agrarian agi-
tators in County Mayo" and in HIS
fight against extradition he himself
claimed that the assault for which he
was convicted in Mayo was an agra

To Remove Catholic Disabilities.

ANY man who wants to put any
kind of a franchise through the coun-
Gil had better insert clause in the
document setting forth very clearly
just what the city is going to get out
of it. The days when the city was
giving away something for nothing
have gone by forever. The people
are too wise for one thing. The
struggles of the city with the various
promoters of street railways, which
went on for years before the ordi-
nance which resulted in the Doodle
trials was finally passed, taught the
public whole lot of things about the
manipulation of franchises, and any
promoter who tries to sneak slitt1e
joker" through the council is going
to be disappointed. The city is will
ing to make any reasonable conces-
sions to investors, but the city ex-
poets to share in the profits.

RAILROAD TAKES LAND.
Jury Awards Zion Lace Company $3.50
in Condemnation Suit.

The jury in the Zion City condem-
nation suit brought in verdict in
favor of the Zion City lace works for
$40, the price being for land taken
and nothing being allowed for DANA
ges to adjoining property.
This is about the same ratio as the
price paid for the other land taken in
the previous condemnation suits
against DR.. Dowie, the reason for this
suit by the Chicago, Evanston and
North Shore railroad company was,
that when the previous condemnation
suit was started, the strip at the lace
works could not be taken into the pro-
ceedings because of the fact that the
day prior to filing suit, Dowie had
transferred number of acres of land
on which the lace factory was located
to the Zion Lace Industries. The lace
industries were not made a party to
the suit, hence the later proceedings
had to be started.

THE council made a rather useless
stipulation when it attached the con-
dition that the school board should
pay the interest to the permission
granted the board to negotiate a loan
of $25,O0O In the long run the tax
payers put up for the interest, whether
the school board pays it or the coun-
Gil, and if the school board pays the
interest out of this tax levy, it can get
the money back and more out of the
next levy, for the council has no real
power to cut down the expenses of
the board. The council must raise
whatever amount the board calls for,
and the aldermen can not cut down
the estimates of the members of the
board.

Woman From HiaWatha, Kansas,
Visiting in WheatIand, Dis
appeared Saturday.
HORSE GOES HOME ALONE
The Woman Came to Kenosha to Do
Some Christmas Shopping and Not
a Trace of Her Can be Found
A Mysterious Disappearance

The town of Wheat1and has very
interesting mystery, in which Keno
sha is playing a very important part,
and today w. A. Lutz and his brother
in-law, c. H. Thompson, of New Nun
ster, came to Kenosha to make an eff
abouts of the wife of Lutz, who dis
appeared from Kenosha under rather
unusual circumstances on last Satur-
day. Mr.. and Mrs. Lutz reside at
Hiawatha, Kansas, and. two weeks
ago they came to Wheat1and to spend
the holidays with the Thompson FAM
lily. Mrs. Lutz had formerly resided
in this section of the state and was
well acquainted in several of the
towns of the county. On Saturday
morning Mrs. Lutz left the Thompson
home to come to Kenosha to do some
Christmas shopping and this is the
last that has been seen of her. Mrs.
Lutz had left the Thompson home
shortly after Z O'Clock in the morning
and drove horse known to be per-
fectly safe. She had intended to
spend Saturday night with relative
in Kenosha and was to have returned
to New Munster on Sunday.
On Sunday evening, just before
nightfa11, the horse returned to the
Thompson farm, but it was evident
that Mrs. Lutz had not been in the
buggy.
The mem bers of the family had ex-
pected to hear from her on Monday,
but when no word came Lutz and his
brother-in-1aw came to Kenosha to in
vestigate. They found that the wo-
man had. not visited any friend here,
and that the friend whom she had in
tended to visit had removed from Ke-
nosha to Chicago. Further, they
found that Mrs. Lutz had been at sew
era1 of the stores of the city and had
made several purchases of Christmas
presents. A woman answering the
description of the missing woman is
alleged to have taken a south bound
train for Waukegan on Saturday
evening, but it is not in any way GER
tain that the woman was Mrs. Lutz.
The husband of the woman, in
speaking of the case today, stated
that several years ago his wife had
suffered from some mental trouble
and that he thought it possible that
she had taken another attack of this
trouble and had wandered away and
possibly had gone to Chicago.
Lutz and his brother-in-1aw took
train to Chicago this afternoon to seek
the woman, and in the meantime the
sheriff will be asked to take care of
the case in Kenosha.
The disappearance of the woman is
most mysterious one.

PETITIONS ARE OUT.
John B. MaIoney is Now an Open
Candidate for the Office of
Postmaster of Kenosha.
BACKED BY ADMINISTRATION.

The contest over the appointment
of postmaster Tor Kenosha which
was closed up some time ago when
several of the candidates in the race
became winded, has been reopened
and fighting among the candidates
can be expected during the next few
days. The reopening of the contest
is due to the fact that John B. Ma
loney, the genial clerk of the circuit
court, has come out into the open as
genuine candidate for the position
and his friends are making a hard
fight to land him behind the stamp
window.
Petitions are now out urging the
appointment of Mr.. Ma1oney as post
master and they have been generously
signed. The friends of the clerk have
proposed him as compromise candi-
date and the petition states that he is
amply qualified for the position and
that his appointment will have tend
ency to heal any sore spots which
might have been left by the fight be-
tween other candidates for the honor.
The candidacy of Mr.. Ma1oney had
it's borning in the bosom of the Re-
publican county committee and it is
understood that Mr.. Ma1oney is the
favored candidate of the administra-
ton wing of the party. Nearly every
member of the county committee,
whether in the city or not, has signed
Mr.. Ma1oney's petition and it's under
stood that men high in the councils of
the administration are urging Con-
gresham Cooper to name Mr.. Ma
1oney.
So far as Mr.. Ma1oney is concerned
he is in decidedly receptive mood.
He is not out making any efforts to
secure the Office but he has announced
that he will accept it if it should be
rendered to him.
In speaking of the situation yester-
day Mr.. Ma1oney said: Call the work
that has been done for my candidacy
for the Office of postmaster has been
done by my friends and the moveme ut
was started before I knew anything
about it. Of course I would like to be
named as postmaster and want the
position"
The friends of Mr.. Ma1oney seem to
have some inside information from
the congressman and they insist that
the field is still an open one and that
no selection has been made.
John B. Ma1oney is too well known
in Kenosha to need any COMMUNICATION
and it is certain that the affairs of the
post Office would be placed IN able
hands if he were named by Congress
man Cooper.

IN MEMORY OF THE DEAD.
Arrangements Completed for Services
in Memory Of Iroquois Victims.

Arrangements Omp1eted for Services
in Memory of Iroquois Victims.
The first anniversary of Chicago's
disaster the Iroquo theatre fire in
which seven Kenosha people lost their
lives, will be commemorated by the
Iroquois Memorial association with
services to be held at 2:3O O'Clock Fri
day afternoon, Dec. 80, in Willard
hall of the Temple in Chicago.
The association is composed of the
immediate relatives of the 582 men,
women and children who died in the
Iroquois theatre from fire and suffoca-
ton. Its object is to perpetuate the
memory Of these persons.
The committee in charge of the
memorial services met yesterday and
decided Sthat Willard hall was big
enough to seat every one who cared to
participate. The general public
would not be interested, the COM
111ittee.d ecided.
It was decided that a petition from
the members of the association should
be presented to Mayor Harrison, ask
ing that he request all theaters Civ
ing matinee performances to close
their doors on the afternoon of Dec.
80.
The committee was skeptica1, how
ever, as to whether such petition
would meet with popular approval.
Some of the members were of the
opinion that it would be considered
an imposition by theatre managers.
In the course of year they argued,
the widespread horror over the dis
aster has had time to subside, and
their request1 might be considered
sentimenta1ism.
The program in Willard hall will
consist of music by the quartet of
the Emmanuel Baptist church and adj
dresses by several clergymen. Among
those who will be asked to speak are
Bishop Muldoon, Bishop Coajutor,
Charles P. Anderson, Jenkin Lloyd
Jones and DR.. Emil G. Hirsch.
