men had generally seen service on the
great caravans which entered this re-
gion for trading purposes and slave cap
ture or exploration. They were old
hands at carrying loads on their heads.
but the handling Of bridge iron was
a new proposition and necessitated a
sery considerable amount Of teaching
A serious fault Of these men was that
they would get tired Of working and

nothing to see these lands. Free ex-
cursions for Purchasers. A rare
chance for a poor man to secure a
home for himself at a reasonable cost.

Little Wait Adopted BY Mr.. and Mrs.

An order has been filed in the
county court for the adoption Of
Charles H. Meyer, a Milwaukee boy a
year old, by Mr.. and Mrs. William
Wakefield of this city. The little boy
is one of the children who has been in
the keeping of the Milwaukee Home
Finding society, and he will be given
a splendid home in this city. The
child has been in the keeping of the
Home but short time.
A large number of children from
the Home have recently been placed
in homes in this county, and it is
claimed that Kenosha county is one
of the banner counties in the state
for the adoption of little children.
The children are all of very tender
age.
The young boy adopted by Mr., and
Mrs. Wakefield will no longer bear
the name of Meyer, but will be known
by the name of Harold Merriam

METHODISTS TO MEET
Annual Conference Of Wisconsin
Methodists to be Held at
Sheboygan Next Month
CHANGE IN KENOSHA COUNTY

The annual session of the Wiscon-
sin conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church of which Park
Avenue church is one Of the leading
churches, will be held at Sheboygan
during the week beginning September
9TH. It is expected that large de1ega-
tons from the different Methodist
churches in this county will attend
the different sessions of the confer
ence.
The conference will bring together
the greatest assemb1age of Methodists
ever seen in Wisconsin and many lead
ers in the church work from other
states will be in attendance. Many
matters of Importance will come up
before the ministers and lay delegates
and the church policy for the coming
year will be outlined.
Bishop H. w. Warren of Denver,
one of the most distinguished minis
tiers of the denomination, will preside
at the different meetings of the con-
ference. This will be the first visit
Bishop Warren has made to the Wis
consin conference in many years and
this will add interest to the great
gathering.
It is expected that there will be
many changes among the ministers in
the Milwaukee district, and while all
of the ministers have given perfect
satisfaction to the churches during
the year it is probable that numb Der
of the Kenosha county ministers will
be called to other places. All the
churches in this county will petition
the conference for the return of the
ministers now serving them, but other
churches have asked for the ministers
and it is very probable that changes
will be made.
One Of the interesting features Of
the annual session of the conference
will be the reading Of the memorial
roll. Among the memorials to be pre-
sented will be memorials to the late
Willis w. Cooper and Charles F.
Cooper of this city.
