Dr.. Riches Pveachcs.

On account of a severe cold, which
prevented Rev. Buell. from delivering
his sermon last Sunday evening, the
congregation of the Presbyterian
church was addressed by DR.. c. W.
Riches, who before taking up his work
In the medical profess ion was engaged
In the ministry. Rev. Buell. had ex-
pected to deliver a message especially
to young people, having chosen for
his subject preparations for the New
Years Race" The change in the
pulpit proved to be q happy dlsap-
pointment, however, for the Doctor
delivered one of the best sermons the
writer ever had the pleasure of listen
Jog to from q Presbyterian pulpit.
The subject OF DR.. Riches sermon
was "Prayer." Although q member
of the Baptist faith, yet the speaker
showed that the Gospel could be ex.
pounded by him as successfully from
a Presbyterian pulpit as from one be-
longing to q denomination in which
he was more at home. The subject OF
"Prayer" was certainly handled in a
very scholarly manner.

or less openly in at least two gambling
houses in this city, while innumerable

The passage of the felony law, which
was confidently expected to end gamb-

restrictions and penalties were less Sc

An Important Case.

The following clipping was handed
the GAZETTE by Geo. Swaggart, of this
city. The article was taken from the
Times, of Trenton, No., and in itself is
explanatory:
'Last Saturday, Judge j. w. Alexan-
der, of Gallatin, handed down an opinion
in an interesting land case from the
forks of the river which he has had un-
der advisement since last July and
which involved the title to 100 acres of
very good land. The facts are about
these:
"Away back in 1851, James Austin
decided this land to Cynthia Clark, for
and during her natural life, remainder
in fee to he heirA'of her body. This
means, so the court holds, that Cynthia
Clark was to have the land as long az
she lived, and, then, it was to 60 to her
children. Afterwards, in 1865, Cynthia
Clark sold Der interest IN this land TO
William B. Tabor.
"Then, Cynthia Clark whose husband
had died leaving her and her children
surviving him, went with her children
to the Pacific Slope. They crossed the
plains and winded around the noun
tains with an OK team.
"Cvnthia Clark lived until September
of last year, dying at Heppner, Oregon.
"Then her children and grandchildren
at once returned to Missouri, and
claimed this land. They claim it by !
reason of the deed from James Austin.
1t seems that the heirs of Cynthia Clark
had safely kept all ancient documents
to the land, with view Of
it at their mothers death. The
heirs of Cynthia Clark claim that they
believed that those occupying the land
were occupying it only as life tenants
under Cynthia Clark.
"But, however that may be, it seems
that Mr. Tabor to whom Cynthia Clark
had conveyed her life estate, made an
additional claim to the land. In 1869,
Mr.. Tabor instituted court proceeding
in which he sought to secure to himself
the absolute title to the land, and, to
exclude the claim of the Clark heirs.
"Thosa VINO occupy the land claim
that the proceeding thus instituted by |
Mr.. Tabor is legal one. II is these
conflicting claims that Judge Alexander |
decided The Clark heirs claimed |
eight tenths of the land, there being
ten oi the heirs and two of them hay
ing sold their interests in it.

New Uniform For Army.

Berlin, Jan. 7.-Since Emperor Will
lam saw Generals Corbin, Young and
Wood in their new uniforms at the Ger.
man Army maneuvers in September,
1902, the army cothmakers of this
country have been experimenting with
similar shades and have produced a
blend between straw color and light
olive green, which will presently be
substituted for dark blue throughout
the army as the uniforms of privates
and noncommissioned officers.
The cloth has been tested for a year
under service conditions, for wear and
cleanliness. 1t WAS found in the last
Summer maneuvers that the new uni
forms were scarcely distinguished at
distance from dry stubbe or grass. 1t
will be three or four years before the
present uniforms entirely disappear, as
the government has upwards of 3,000,-
900 old uniforms in stock, though the
greater part of these have seen service.
The German government is the
largest ready made clothes manufact-
urer in the world, turning out 900, 700 to
800, 600 uniforms a year, the exact num-
Der depending on the weather.

because it was deficient in speed, and

John M. Dixon, Of Havana, Ill.,, Comes
to kenosha Seeking His Daughter
Who Has Been Missing Ten Days
CAME TO KENosHA TO VISIT
No Trace of the Girl or the Cousin Whom
She Came to Visit Can be Found and
Suicide of the Girl is Feared

John NJ. Dixon, a stock buyer resid-
ing at Havana, ILL.,, came to Kenosha
this morning for the purpose of seek
ing to find some trace of his daughter.
Hannah M. Dixon, who left her home
a week ago last Friday to come to
Kenosha for visit with her cousin,
Miss Lillian Meyers. Dixon seems to
tear that the young woman has com
mitted suicide.
The Meyers girl whom the Havana
girl came to visit was formerly en-
ployed at the plant of the Simmons
Manufacturing Company and resided
at a boarding house on Park street,
but she had left Kenosha more than a
month ago and it is supposed that she
went to Chicago to work.
Dixon when seen this morning stat
ed that there was considerable of a
mystery connected with the disap-
pearance of the two young women.
The Havana girl is twenty years of
age and from her pictures it is evil
dent that she has more than ordinary
beauty. It is certain that she came to
Kenosha as her parents received a
short note from her written last FRI
day evening stating that she had
reached Kenosha and was stopping
with her cousin. This was the last
heard from her and when the letters
failed to arrive the parents got nerv-
Gus about the matter and the father
came to Kenosha to investigate. Here
he found that Miss Meyers had not
been in Kenosha for more than a
month and he began to suspect that
ali was not right.
At the time Miss Dixon left her
home it is alleged that she had been
in love with "a young man in the
neighborhood but the parents of the
girl had not approved of the young
mans attentions and partly to keep
her from him she had been sent to
Kenosha for visit.
The father of the girl seems to
think that it is possible that she has
committed suicide, but it is more
probable that she has left Kenosha
and gone to join her cousin in Chi
cago.
Dixon made the rounds of the fac
tories this afternoon thinking that it
was possible that the young woman
had sought work here, but he found
no trace of her.
The Meyers girl, who Miss Dixon
came to visit, has always borne a
good reputation in Kenosha.

SHOTS FOR GOLFERS.
Members of Country Club Narrowly
Escape Injury.

The officers of the Kenosha Country
Club this morning filed a complaint
with Sheriff Timme and asked that
arrests be made of careless people
who are using the lake shore as
place~for target practice.
Just before O'Clock Monday even
ing several of the members of the
club who were playing on the golf
links narrowly escaped being struck
by flying bullets, and the county Off
Gals have been asked to prevent re-
occurrence of these dangers.
been utilized by marksmen as place
to try their skill. 1t is outside the
jurisdiction of the police of the city
and the marksmen have in the past
made it point to arrange their tar
gets so that the bullets would fall into
the lake, but during the past few
weeks several parties of narksmen
have been firing shots across the
Country Club links and the escape of
the golfers has been a narrow one in
SCV oil SlduCSSsa onC111l A11lAlC d11-
nounced this morning that he would
stop all shooting on the lake shore if
the trouble occurred again and a
deputy sheriff will be notified to keep
close watch on that section of the
county.
It is possible that the work of the
marksmen has been due entirely to
care1essness, but several times when
golfers have had narrow escapes the
members of the club have protested
with the men and they have been
treated with contempt. tits probable
that few arrests by the sheriff and a
few fines by the Justices would be all
that is needed to prevent any further
trouble for the 1essees of the Country
Club grounds.

ENJOINs THE SHERIFF.
Lake County Courts Prevent the sheriff's
Sale of winthrop Harbor Property

Lake County Courts Prevent the Sheriff's
Sale of winthrop Harbor Property
Another and even worse tang1e than
the village of Winthrop Harbor has
yet had, developed Saturday when
Sheriff Powell of Lake County was
restrained by injunction from selling
property in the village which had
been advertised to be sold.
The papers were served by the cir
cult clerk following an order from
Judge Donne1ly at Woodstock and are
the first of the kind to be issued here
IN very long time.
On petition of HenriettaVanderpo
who claims to be one of the creditors
of the village, J. H. Van V1issengen,
her attorney, sought the court to re-
strain the sheriff from proceeding
with the sale or turning over any
money now in his hands obtained on
previous sales and executions to any
of the other creditors until matters are
adjudicated in court and the Judge
shall determine as to the interests of
the respective creditors.
The counsel in the case is Prussing,
Brown and King, of Chicago, and the
petition is directed against w. D.
Craven, Sheriff Powell, Caroline Roth,
Josephine Husak and H. Martin.
The sheriff of course was prevented
from selling the property which had
been advertised and everything will
now wait the action of the court.
In the bill which covers about
thirty typewriter pages, Mrs. Van
derpool, through her agent, Mr.. Van
Vlissengen claims that he asks pro-
lection on the grounds of having a
judgment through notes aggregating
about $4,000.
Van V1issengen is shown as one of
the principals in the action by being
Mrs. Vanderpool's agent, an affidavit
empowering him to act as such being
attached to the bill.
