JUBILEE AT AN END.
German Methodists Close Week
Of Rejoicing With a Sun
day Of Meetings.
OLD PASTORS GIVE THANKS.
The Rev. J. A. Mu1finger, of Chicago,
Delivers the Anniversary Ser
mon on Sunday Morning.

The Golden Jubilee celebration of
the Methodist church which has held
the interest of religious circles in
Kenosha since last Wednesday, closed
on Sunday and the last day of the
jubilee was crowded with services for
the members of the church and the
large number of people who.gs came
from other cities. Early in the morn
ing an old fashioned Methodist class
meeting was held, at which large
crowd was in attendance.
At the regular morning service
the German Methodist churches in
the Milwaukee and Chicago districts
of the church. The Rev. J. A. Null
finger, one of the bestsknown minis
tiers of the denomination, came from
Chicago to preach the anniversary
sermon. Mr.. Mu1fnger spoke especial
ly of the good work which the church
had done for the German Speop1e Of
Kenosha during the last five decades
and assured the members that the out
look for the next fifty years held out
for them the brightest of prospects,
and showed them that Thea great
church at large would expect even
more from them in the future than
had been accomplished in the past.
The service on Sunday afternoon
was the most interesting service of
the Jubilee exercises. Almost every
member of the church attended the
service and seven of the former pas
tors of the church were present to
speak to'the people. Of greatest in
terest was the history of the churches
as read by Frederick L. Becker. Mr..
Becker had been a member of the
church for fifty years and his resume
of the work of the church recalled
many incidents which brought back
to the minds of the people the strug-
giles Of the first half century. He
spoke especially of the early members
and pastors of the church and the diff
ficu1ties that had been met in organic
ing and building up the congregation.
Among the former pastors who spoke
during the meeting on Sunday after
noon were the Rev. c. Hed1er, Presid-
ing Elder Of the Milwaukee district;
the Rev. p. Rech of the Fourth Ger
man church Of Chicago; the Rev. J.
Schaeffer of Michigan City, Ind; the
Rev. B. Becker of Hammond, Ind. the
Rev. G. L.eLimper of Bristol; the Rev.
H. d. Ramp of Kenosha, and the Rev.
Jno. F. Romoser, the present pastor.
The final meeting of the jubilee was
held on Sunday evening and the SER
mon was, delivered by the Rev.
Bernard Becker of Hammond, Ind.

OPEN A CLUB ROOM.
Republicans Of the County Begin
to Prepare for a Hard
Fought Campaign.
SECURE MONAGHAN BUILDING

The Republicans of Kenosha county
are planning for hot campaign dur
ing the next few months, and they ex-
pect to be IN the fray early. This
morning deal was closed for the
lease Of the upper floor of the Mona
CHAN building on Market street, and
this will be used as a club room and
as headquarters for the Republican
workers in the county. The party
leaders will take possession of the
room at once, and it will be fitted up.
Offices will be opened for the chair
man of the Republican county COM
mittee, and it is probable that some
one will be in charge of the Offices of
the committee from now until after the
campaign is over. Kenosha will be a
stronghold for the national commit
tee, and many speakers have been
booked to appear in this county dur
ing the coming campaign. The club
will take no part in the state fight at
the present time.
The great mass of literature which
is to be sent out during the campaign
is already beginning to arrive in the
city, and the work of sending it out to
the different towns will be started as
soon as the committees for the county
are appointed.
The meeting of the county commit
tee to arrange for the caucuses and
conventions will probably be held
early next week, and the conventions
will be called for September. The list
of candidates is steadily growing
longer, and the delegates to the county
convention will have plenty Of stock
from which to select ticket.

BY A MOB
Robert Hansen Badly Injured by
a Mob of HoodIums Between
Somers and kenoSha.
STONES AND DIRT PELTED.

Robert Hansen, a son of Mrs Tn1;,,s
manson residing on Grover street.
was attacked by a mob between Ke-
nosha and Berryvi11e, Sunday evening.
and was SO badly injured that he is
now IN the care of physician, He is
suffering from several bruises about
the head and body and his left arm is
broken just below the elbow.
Young Hansen, is employed on a
farm near the village of Somers and
late Sunday afternoon he started on
his bicycle for Kenosha to spend the
evening with his mother. He had
made good portion of the distance
and as he approached the second rail-
way crossing on the Racine road.
some three miles north of the city
limits, he noticed a crowd of twenty
boys and men throwing at a sign.
Hansen rode through the crowd and
his appearance was a signal for the
mob to take him as a target. With
out any provocation the men and bows
began to pelt the Hansen lad with
stones and dirt. He was struck in
the side of the head by a large stone
and nearly thrown from his wheel. A
second stone struck him in the left
arm just below the elbow and broke
the ulna. AS soon as he reached the
city he went to the Office of DIR. Jor-
gensen and had his injuries cared for.
He will not be able to work for many
weeks. The young manis not able to
give the names Of any of the men
who assaulted him, but the matter
has been referred to the sheriff and
his deputies and they will make an
effort to secure the arrest of the
rowdies. It is alleged that the men
and boys who assaulted the lad
had been at the ball game and were
walking home

NOTES OF THE GAME.

The jing1ing of the guinea helps
the hurt that honor feels, and taking
everything into consideration the
manager of the team might feel
worse.
1t would have been just as well if
Kenosha had shown little more
courtesy to the Racine team. Keno
sha sportsmen are good sportsmen.
They know how to lose, and all of
them would have preferred to have
seen the crowd kept off the field dur.
ing the last innings of the game.
Fair play above everything e1se-win
or 1ose-is the motto of Kenosha
sportsmen.
If Bubser had pitched-but there,
Bubser didn't pitch, Walsh did. Bub-
ser will probably have his chance
next Sunday, and here's a bouquet
for him if he wins.
Willis Russell also had smile COM
ing, even in defeat. The Kenosha
Electric railway company carried six
thousand people Sunday.
Horn must have thought he was
playing in the Three league again.
Thirteen strike-outs is enough for
any pitcher, and Walsh is probably
not discouraged.
It looks as if Kenosha will be just
as ready to bet on the game next Sun
day.
The accommodations furnished by
the M. r. & K. people were of the
rankest sort. The company just had
power enough to run the cars back to
Racine, and the Kenosha people had
their choice of walking or waiting.
Many of them preferred to walk, and
they got home sooner at that.
Racine was more surprised than
Kenosha, and it is claimed that less
than thousand dollars changed
hands on the game. If the Racine
men had been willing to bet they
might just as we'll have made it FIVE
thousand.
They came from Camp Chilly"
but they are hot bunch of bali
players.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1904-08-11

pushed two men over the rubber. And
then came the sixth. It is better to
draw veil over this inning and never
let it appear in the base ball history
of Kenosha. It was then that the Ke-
nosha team took the balloon ascension
and from their parapet far above the
sandy field they looked down and
watched the Racine boys run in six
runs. From their position high above
the diamond the sight may been inter-
esting but it made the blood of the
loyal fans run cold. Those six runs
might have all been cut off had it not
been for the wild throw by Horn and
the fact that Murphy slipped. But
slips count in base ball and this one
aided in a count of six runs.
When the sixth inning was over the
game was over. The Kenosha boys
got two in the seventh and made a
fight but they failed to land the re-
quired number of runs, From then
on the Racine team was shut out but
the trouble was over and it was pay
day. Some of the boys began paying
their bets while the rest of them start
ed for home.
The horrible story of the contest is
best told by the detailed score which
is given below:

HAD HIS ARM BROKEN.
James Madigan Injured in a Runaway
Accident Sunday.

James Madigan, who resides in the
Ca1kins block on Main street, had his
left arm broken IN peculiar runa-
way accident Sunday afternoon. A
horse belonging to John Keh1or had
been frightened at the Sanitarium
and had run away down Milwaukee
avenue as far as the Saftig market,
where it had been stopped by bystand-
ers after the buggy had been pretty
we'll broken mp.
Madigan volunteered to help take
the horse back to the stable, and an
other buggy was borrowed from Mr..
Saftig. The horse was harnessed up
again and Madigan got in to drive.
In some way the horse broke away
from the men holding his head, and
running across the street before Mad
igan could get control of him, he col
lided with a telegraph pole, smashed
the second buggy and threw Madigan
out, breaking his arm.

KENOsHA LOSES OUT.
Democrats of First Wisconsin District
to Hold Convention at GAINESVILLE.

Kenosha Democrats lost out in their
effort to land the first district congress
siona1 convention of the party for
this city, as secretary Stewart of the
county committee received a letter
this morning stating that the congress
sional committee had decided to hold
the convention at GAINESVILLE on Sep
TENDER the eighth. There will be fifty
seven delegates in the convention and
Kenosha will have eight votes.
It is just possible that this sending
the convention to GAINESVILLE is a
scheme of the opposition to the nomi-
nation of Calvin Stewart to make it
easier to shelve the Kenosha man. If
the convention had been held in Ke-
nosha there is but little doubt that
the Kenosha county secretary would
have been the nominee, but it is pos
sible that an uphill fight will confront
Stewart if the convention is taken to
GAINESVILLE.
The delegates to the convention
from kenosha county will be selected
at the coming county convention.

SMALLPOX AT ZION.
NJ an With the Dread Disease Said to be
Held in the Pest House at Zion City.

AAA LIZ ISL AAOASC OF A1OA A1Iys
A letter received in Kenosha this
afternoon from farmer residing lust
north of Zion City states that a man
suffering from the dread disease
smallpox is confined in the pest house
at Zion City. According to the story
told in the letter the man had been
working for the Kenosha county farm
er and short time ago he left the
farm and went to Zion City to work.
He returned yesterday for his clothes
and at that time he was broken out
with the disease. AS soon as he re-
turned to Zion City he was placed in
the pest house.
It is alleged that the man mingled
freely with the people of Zion for
several days before he was taken to
the pest house and it is possible that
many people have been exposed to
the disease. It will be just as well for
Kenosha people to take few precau-
tons to prevent any spread of the dis
ease to this city.

NOTED MAN A TRAMP
Henry Bergman, Who Fought In
9th Mass. Reg't Tramps
to This City.
WAS FIRST ON BATTLE FIELD.
Veteran of the Civil War Displays With
Pride the Wounds Received in
Famous Baltimore Riot.

footsore and weary, worn by a tramp
of many hundred miles, Henry Berg
man, an old soldier worthy of better
things came into Kenosha Monday
evening and is now in the city being
cared for at the orders of the Fred S.
Lowell Post of the Grand Army. While
the old man might be called a tramp
he is deserving of every considera-
ton on account of the fact that he
gave most loyal service for his coun-
try at the time of the breaking out of
the civil war, and he was one of the
hundred men who had the honor of be-
ing the first on the field of battle in
the great struggle for national union.
Bergman is a Ho11ander and is nearly
seventy years of age. He displayed
with pride to the members of the To-
cal Post of the Grand Army his hon
orab1e discharge from the service.
The discharge shows that Bergman
was member of the famous Sixth
Massachusetts Volunteers, the first
regiment of soldiers ordered to the
front at the opening of the war of the
rebellion. Bergman carries as mark
of the great struggle. the scar of a
knife wound which his papers show
that he received at the famous Ba1ti-
more riot. When the Sixth was or
dered to the front at the opening of
hostilities twas forced to pass through
Baltimore and there the southern
feeling was too strong to brook the
appearance of the northern soldiers,
and a running fight with a mob of
angry slave owners and their sympa-
thizers resulted in many Of the mem
bers of the regiment being killed.
Last night Bergman gave graphic
STORY of the famous battle in the
streets of Baltimore. He was in the
very front rank of the Union soldiers
and fell desperately wounded by being
stabbed with knife. The mark Of
honor he still bears.
Bergman had arrived from Holland
onivy four years before the breaking
out of the war, but this fact did not
prevent him giving loyal service to
his adopted country, and he served in
different regiments until the close of
the war. Since the war the old man
has been living in Kansas, and he is
now on his way to the Soldiers Home
at Milwaukee, where he hopes to be
able to spend his declining years.
The old soldiers in Kenosha gave
the old man every possible attention,
providing him with lodging and meals
at one of the hotels in the city, and
securing employment for him in order
that he might be able to earn money
to continue his way to Milwaukee.
He absolutely refused TO receive any
money from the old soldiers, and in
sisted on being allowed to work for
his transportation to the Home.
James Knight, of Waukegan, who
was formerly of this city, was also
member of the famous Eastern regi-
ment, and he accompanied his old
comrade from Waukegan to this city.

More than four hundred people

p1oyees, of the ST. Paul railway COM
pany. The remains were inferred in
