DoWIEITE AN INVENTOR.
w. c. Crosby Discovers Plan for the
Burning Of Screenings.


Burning of Screenings.
ssWhy don't you burn screenings IN
your furnace?I can save you hundreds
of dollars month with my machine. !"
These were the words addressed to
the Dowieite people Of Zion City a
month or two ago by one G. W. Cros-
by, and the people laughed. They
laughed still more when they saw the
machine to which he alluded.
us it a sandsucker?' They asked
with an innocent air.
Crosby would get hot under the col
lar, and go home to his wife, who un-
derstood. Then the two would say to
each other, s'Just wait, just wait"
They had the patience to wait
This quality was often strained in the
months to come. Crosby was on the
point of quitting the Dowie city with
his machine more than once. Sud-
denly he interested outside money in
his contrivance. Goodbye, he said
to the White Dove city. But they
made him wait until they looked seri-
ous1y at the machine.
What they saw was coal stoker for
screenings and fine coal that is claim
ed to be world beaten. Under lock
and key tits being tried successfully
in the heating plant of the Zion City
Hospice. The fireman is sworn to
secrecy as are all associated with the
test. It is no longer an experiment,
but an unqualified success for the
purpose for which it is designed.
Crosby is no longer laughed at in
Zion City, although the reason that he
is taken seriously will for the first
time become public with this account.
Instead he is taking a course in
analytic chemistry, life long desire,
at the University of Chicago, with his
wife.
Sometimes, if you watch closely,
you may see him in the cab Of a
North Western engine. The stoker is
being tried on this road and there are
negotiations for its purchase.

ENDEAVORERS TO MEET
Annual Southeastern c. E. Convention

The annual Southeastern Christian
Endeavor convention for Wisconsin
will be held at Rochester, May II, -

convention ever held. Final arrange
ments have been made and a large
delegation of young Endeavorers are
expected. The district officers are
Just the ones for the places and inter-
est is throbbing in every society.
The president, F. Stanley Pow1es
of Union Grove, is a hard worker and
great credit is due him for the added
membership in the district. He is
ably supported by the vice president,
Rev. E. T. Farri11 of Kenosha. Ke-
nosha will be represented by good1y
number of delegates, and every one
expects good things during their stay
at Rochester.
Rev. ]. T. Chynoweth of Mi1wau-
kee, Robert Porter of Williams Bay,
and Ernest G. Toan principal of Ro-
chester Academy, are the speakers.
A number of special soloists will be
present, making the music splendid

are counted on for added interest.

Republican County Committee
Has Named Michael KIeist
and Harry E. Grace.
KLEIST TO SERVE AS WARDEN
While Grace is to Have the Minor Of
fec of Inspector of Illuminating
Oils - The Appointm Await
Adjournment of Legislature.

The fight over the selection of
deputy game warden and deputy
inspector Of illuminating oils in Ke-
nosha county, is practically at an end
as It is announced today that the Re-
publican county committee for Keno
sha county, has sent to the state Of
ficers the nomination of Michael
Kleist for the Office of deputy game
warden, and the nomination of Harry
E. Grace for the Office of inspector of
Illuminating oils.
That the appointments will be
madesis assured, but the commissions
will probably not be sent out until
after the close of the present session
of the state legislature. Both of the
men named by the county committee
have been active workers in the ad-
ministration wing of the party, and
they certainly deserve some reward.
Mr.. Kleist, who is to succeed Assis-
tant Postmaster Reinardy as deputy
game warden, has been the right
hand man of Mr.. Reinardy for several
years, and he has the honor of being
one of the first men in the county who
was ready and willing to fight for the
La Toilette cause. Mr.. K1eist has
been groomed for the office of deputy
game warden byl holding the office of
deputy oil inspector. He has made a
good official and he will undoubtedly
be equally efficient in the higher po-
sition.
Harry E. Grace, who is to have the
Office of oil inspector, is another lead
er in the La Toilette faction, and it is
claimed that his influence did much
to secure for La Toilette the support
of many of the laboring men of the
city. Grace is cigar maker by trade
and his appointment was favored by
nearly every member of the county
committee. It is stated that Mr..
Grace was the nominee of the labor
ing men for thes,position and his APP
pointment by the county committee is
a recognition of this large class of
people.
Mr.. Grace is at present the presi-
dent Of the Kenosha Trades and La
Dor council, and he has been connect
ed with the council for several years.
It is expected that the commissions
of the new officials will arrive about
the middle Of June. Mr.. K1eist will
continue to serve as oil inspector I'M
til formal appointment of the new
man is made.
The appointments made by the
committee will undoubtedly be &C
ceptable to every one, with the pos
sible exception of the other candi-
dates for the two Offices.

MISSED BIG REWARD
kenosha Deputies and ConstabIes
Fail to Arrest Henry Coll,
Wanted in Milwaukee.
SPENT A DAY IN THIS COUNTY

The Kenosha county deputy sheriffs
and constab1es let large reward slip
through their fingers during the past
week, as it has been learned that
Henry Coll, former assistant cashier
of the First National bank of Mi1wau-
kee, was in Kenosha county at least
the better part of day last week.
Coll was arrested in Chicago Wednes-
day evening by one of the members of
the Milwaukee police force. Coll was
taken back to Milwaukee Wednesday
night and the Milwaukee force will
secure the $1,000 offered for the ar
rest of the man by his former en-
p1oyers.
Coll has been leading pretty busy
life since the discovery of, the Bige-
low defau1cation. It is alleged that
on the Monday following the arrest of
Bigelow Coll left Milwaukee and went
to North Cape in Racine county and
after waiting around several Racine
county towns until Wednesday he
came over into Kenosha county.
He stopped both at Camp Lake and
Trevor for short time and then
went on to Antioch, ILL.,, where he re-
manned until he went to Chicago.
It is hardly possible that Coil was
known to any one in this county but
if the people in the neighborhood of
Camp Lake and Salem had been up
on the case they could easily have Sc.
cured the reward as it is claimed that
Coll was not making any fight against
arrest. He is now in jail in Milwau-
kee awaiting trial.

FARMERS SALT CROWS.

Sportsmen in the Western Part of the
County Preparing to Raid Treasury.
Authoritative statements have been
sent to the city to the effect that the
farmers and sportsmen in the western
part of the county are planning to
make a raid on the county treasury,
and to this effect men have been salt
ing the carcasses of slaughtered crows
for several weeks and are planning to
bring a large number of heads to the
county clerk in the very near future.
Thus far the western part of the
county has made no demand on the
funds of the county for the slaughter
of crows. The total amount paid out
up to date is $34.60. Of this amount
bounties have been paid on II hen
hawks and 36l crows.

DISCHARGES OLD MORTGAGE
Judge Be1den Discharges Mortgage
on Record Since 1859.

In the circuit court, at Racine, Fri
day afternoon, on the petition of Kate
Larner, Judge E. B. Be1den handed
down a decision discharging a mort
gage which had been on the official
records of Kenosha county since 1859.
In that year the mortgage was given
by Jacob and Fanny Landmann to
Lehman Brothers, of Cincinnati, Ohio.
The petition showed that all of the
people connected with the transaction
were residents of the state of Ohio,
and that the money which had been
borrowed had long since been paid
back. The mortgage was for So, 800,
and it remained as an encumbrance
on property in the First ward of the
city.
