Announcement Made of Engagement of
Roy w. H0Iderness and Miss
Alice StiIIWeIl.
ARMY OFFICER TO WE'D IN YONKERS

DR.. and Mrs. Benjamin Watson
Sti1lwe11, of Yonkers, N. Y, have
announced the engagement of their
daughter, Miss Alice Sti11we11, to
Lieutenant Roy Weber Ho1derness,
Sixth Cavalry, U. S. A. The date of
the marriage has not as yet been set
but it will probably take place some
time during the present year.
Announcement of the engagement
will cause quite little stir in social
circles in Kenosha, where dashing
Lieut.. Ho1derness is well and favor
of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Ho1derness
and one of the best known of the boys
who have been given to the army by
this city. Lieut.. Ho1derness was
graduated from West Point with
highest honors a month ago, and
since that time he has been spending
a short vacation at Yonkers. He and
Miss Sti11we11 have been friends for
several years and the engagement
will not come as a great surprise to
the close friends of the lieutenant in
Kenosha.
It is expected that Lieut.. Holder
ness will come to Kenosha some time
during the present month for short
visit before leaving to join his regi.
ment.
The people OF Kenosha have taken
great interest in Lieut.. Ho1derness
since he began to seek a place in the
army on account of the fact that for
many years he was one of the best
known students of the Kenosha High
school, and was considered the founder
of the athletic spirit in the Kenosha
| schools.
His friends will be pleased to ex-
tend heartiest congratulations on the
engagement which has just been an
nounced.

ZION STILL STANDS.

Prophet Steele, of Chicago, Cries out IL
Vain Against Dowie and His Followers.
Halted at the boundry of Zion City
by Zion guards, William E. Steele
with his wife and three small children
waited Sunday to see his prediction
of the fall of the north shore town
verified. When evening came and
the town was still intact the weary
prophet and his family were escorted
to Waukegan by the guards and
placed on train for Chicago.
Then Mrs. Steele asserted herself.
-Four years, she declared, she had al
lowed her husband to have his own
way, to devote hours to studying the
bible when he might have been at
work. ''Now his interpretations have
failed, "she said, land it is time to
throw it all out. Four years of study
have ended in failure. It is time now
to settle down to work.
So Steele, who lives at 2253 South
Park avenue, probably will go back
to his carpenter work and use his BIZ
bic only on Sunday.
Not only had he predicted that
Christ would appear in Dowie's city
and overthrow it, but in Zion Steele
was credited with a plan to shoot
Elijah III. For this reason he was
stopped on the outskirts and kept
there all day. He denied any inten-
ton of injuring DIR. Dowie and de-
c1ared his only wish was to deliver an
address and distribute tracts, but the
guards were firm and kept him at
safe distance.
The Steele family had been near
Zion City for several days, and would
have suffered for food had they not
been supplied by zionites on orders
from Dowie. Their tickets to Chi
cago were also supplied by the Zion
guards.
In his sermon Sunday DIR. Dowie
said he would establish a Zion in
every nation of the world, and that
when he is ready he will call the peo-
pie to go with him to build temple
at Jerusalem, to which Christ will re-
turn.

Joseph finland, Of Pleasant Prairie,
Seeks ReIiefFrOm Heat and Meets
Death in a Pool at Ideal Park.
DISCARDED CLOTHES TELL STORY.
Remains of the Unfortunate Young Man
Found in the Bottom of the Pool Late
Sunday Afternoon.

In an effort to escape the torrid
heat of Sunday, Joseph Um1and
tWenty-seven years of age and well
known in the town of Pleasant Prai-
RE, met death by drowning in a pool
IN the center of the old Ideal Park
race track.
The remainse wer taken from the
pool shortly after three O'Clock and
Coroner Lansdowne, who had been
called to investigate the case, held an
inquest and returned verdict of &C
ciidenta1 death. The remains were
removed to the home of the unfortu-
nate boys mother and the funeral
was held from that place at two
O'Clock on Tuesday afternoon.
finland had complained of the in
tenseeheat during the morning, and
short1yiafter ten O'Clock he took his
bicycle telling his mother that he
was going to ride over. to. the O'P1ane
river and take a bath. Instead of
riding to the O'P1ane he went five
miles to the pool on the old race track
property. 5 He was seen gabout the
pool just after. eleven o clock and this
was the last seen of him alive. About
three clock in. the afternoon n. r.
Rasmussen and Arthur jerks, two boys
residing in the neigfborhood, walked
over to the pool to go IN Swimming.
They discovered the wheel which had
belonged to Um1and and his clothes.
They suspected that the. young man
had been drowned and hurried over to
Russell, ILL.,, and summoned some of
the men from the village. The men
came to the pool and after a short
search the remains of Um1and were
found. The water was more than
nine feet deep at the pool and it was
stated at the inquest that Um1and
did not know how to swim.
+ At first it was reported that the
young man had committed suicide,
but an examination of the conditions
showed that he had waded into the
pool and had gone beyond his depth.
It is supposed that the young man
had been. dead for several hours when
the body was found.
The unfortunate young man was
son of one of the best known farmers
IN Pleasant Prairie, and since the
death of his father he had resided on
the farm with his mother. His sad
death has caused a great deal of sor-
row in the town.
