BARNES IS SLATED
Former Somers Teacher to Be
an Apostle of DoWie's Chris
tian Catholic Church.
IS NAMED AS A TEACHER. "

The first appointments that Apos-
tie John Alexander, formerly John
Alexander Dowie, has made since
Transforming himself into the first
apostle of Christ, have been announced
at Zion City and two of his head
officers now bear new titles and like
Dowie, will hereafter, in public
services, wear new robes as becoming
their office.
Judge V. V. Barnes, counsel gene
raj for Zion City and Deacon Daniel
Sloan, traffic manager of Zion, have
been made "teachers under Dowie's
new religious scheme. There are but
two teachers as yet in the city and
ust what their mission will be is not
known by the residents of Zion who
have been told more will follow in the
way of enlightenment. The role of
teacher" is supposed by the residents
to mean that the two men designated
are to act as instructors of the people
OF Zion and at the same time be pupils
of Dowie, who is to look after their
work as teachers, and if he thinks it
satisfactory, is to make these two
men his first two of the eleven apos-
ties.
The robes designating their offices
are different than the officers have
worn heretofore and consist Of, be-
sides the long black cassock, a
long cape arrangement which is vel
low on the inside which is exposed
to view. These, like Dowie's new
outfit will hereafter be worn in all
religious events in Zion.
Judge Barnes who has been put in
line for this advancement to the role
of an Opposite" is an old Kenoslla
school boy. He was one of the grad
yates of the Kenosha High school and
was native of the town of Somers.
For several years he was teacher in
the town of Somers. Judge Barnes
has been connected with the Zion
church for the past five years.

Sister Superior Margaret Clare of
kemper Hall is Named as
Mother Principal.
is GIVEN WESTERN CHARGE.
High Honor For Her Comes After
Years of Faithful Service in the
Cause of the Sisterhood.

An official order has been promu1-
gated by the Mother Superior of the
Sisters Of St. Mary appointing Sister
Margaret Clare, Sister in charge Of
Kemper Hall, as Mother Provincial of
the order, the Office being second only
to that Of Mother Superior.
In the future Sister. Margaret Clare
will be known as Mother Margaret
Clare. She will continue to make her
headquarters in Kenosha and will re-
tain her place as the leader sof the
work at Kemper Hall. Added to the
duties that have been given her in the
past, she will have charge of the en-
tire western district of the Sisterhood
Of st. Mary.
The Sisterhood of st. MaryShaslhad
a marvellous growth during athe past
few years, and much of this growth
has been due to the careful manage
ment and untiring 1abors ,of Sister
Margaret Clare. She has Rnot .-on1y
been in charge of Kemper Hall and
the many charities affiliated with it,
but her influence has been felt by
every institution under] the direction
of the Sisterhood. In the past the
management of the great business Of
the Sisterhoodsa has been entirely un-
der the management of the Mother
Superior who makes hers headquar-
tiers at the Mother House ofsthe order
at Poughkeepsie, MY, but the time
has come when this work has become
so large that an assistant has been
made necessary, and Mother Margaret
Clare will be in charge of all the work
of the sisterhood IN the West. This
will make her the manager in name Of
all the schools and charitable organi-
tons under the direction Of the Sis
terhood situated IN the great Western
territory. It will also Ebring Sister
Margaret Clare into place of direct
succession for the high Office Of Moth
er Superior at the time of the death
of the present headsof the order.
Sister Margaret Clare has won her
high place in the orderss through her
splendid efforts to promote7the work
of the order, and no smember..of the
order has done more for it than she.
During her long connection with
Kemper Hall she has brought the
school to a rare degree of perfection,
so that at the present time it has the
reputation of being one of the best
schools under the direction of the
church.
The people of Kenosha will be espe-
cia11y gratified to learn of this high
honor conferred on Sister Margaret
Clare, as she has always been a great
favorite with the,people of the city.
She will assume thei duties of her
new office at once.

OLD YACHT rs SOLD.
Family of the Late J. H. KimbaII
ReIinquishes Ownership
of Yacht Mamie. =
SAILS UNDER KlMBALL NAME.

The yacht "Man1ie'', the long cher
ished holding of the family of the late
]. H. Kimba11, has passed out of the
keeping of the heirs of the deceased
yachtsman, for Wednesday, deal was
closed for the sale of the yacht to
Charles Kimba11, cigar makerof this
city. The consideration was private.
The yacht will remain IN this port for
the present and will be sailed as for
mer1y under the Kimba11 name.
The yacht Mamie is one of the most
historic pleasure crafts on the lake
and she is said to be the oldest fresh
water boat now in service. The old
boat was built in Detroit more than
sixty years ago and thirty-seven
years ago she was purchased by the
late j. H. Kimba11 and sailed into the
Kenosha harbor. Since that time the
yacht had been in the keeping of the
Kimba11 family. The yacht at the
time of its building was regarded as a
marvel by vessel owners on the lake
and up to the last season she was re-
garded as one of the fastest crafts on
the lake. She was the pride of ]. H.
Kimba11 and for years the old man
did little more than to keep the yacht
in condition, and the annual cruise on
the Mamie furnished Mr.. Kimba11
with many of the brightest hours of
his declining years. One of the last
things that he did before he was taken
with his last illness was to refit the
boat from top to bottom. It is under
stood that the new owner of the yacht
represents syndicate, and that dur
ing the present winter the yacht will
be entirely rebuilt and refitted

Attorney d. c. Lloyd Says Indian Terri
tory is Excellent Place to Reside.

Attorney D. Conway Lloyd, former
1y a well known resident Of Kenosha,
now Of Muskogee, Indian Territory,
where he is prominent lawyer, is
spending a few days with Kenosha
friends. Mrs. Lloyd and children
have been visiting in the north for
some time and he came to the city to
attend to legal business and escort
them home.
Mr.. Lloyd speaks in the highest
terms of that county. Its opportunities
are good for man with money, but
anyone without means must take
chances. Cotton and corn are the
main products, but there are immense
oil wells, timber 1andsand the farming
lands are c1assed with the finest in
the world. Two crops are grown
every year.
The climate is ideal. It never gets
hotter than 100 degrees and the nights
are cool and delightful. Residents
can sit out on the porchesl until late
in December. In the winter itsse1dom
goes down to zero. There is seldom
sufficient snow for sleighing and not
enough ice for skating.
Muskogee is a city of $4,000 people.
There are FIVE railroads; seven banks;
three daily papers; over forty oil wells
within the limits; also many gas wells;
fine schools, five colleges, excellent
water system which is secured from
the Grand river.
People emigrating and locating in
that country must rot labor under the
i'm preston that they can file land
claims. Outside lands belong ex-
c1usive1y to Indians and inter-married
whites and their slaves and descend
ants. These lands can be sold only
under the rules promulgated by the
secretary of the interior. "a The Indian
tribes are composed of the Cherokees,
considered most enlightened indians;
Creeks, Semino1es, Choctaws and
Chickosaws with some De1awares and
Shawnees, the two latter being in the
Cherokee nation.
