THE FIRST SERVICE
Annual Communion for the Chill.
dren is Held at St. George
Church Sunday Morning
NINETY CHILDREN RECEIVED

Sunday was first communion day at
ST. Georges Roman Catholic church,
and the service proved to be the most
interesting ever held in the church in
Kenosha. More than ninety children
appeared for their first communion,
and the little girls clad in white
dresses and the boys in black made
pretty scene as they marched up to
the chance1 Of the church. AS an in
noYation two little girls marched
ahead, each bearing large bouquet
of white carnations, while following
were two boys all in white carrying
lighted candles.
It was the largest class of first COM
municants ever received into the
church, and in honor of the service
the church was beautifully decorated
with palms and summer flowers. The
service was under the direction of
Father Elskamp, the pastor of the
church. Special music for the occa-
sion was rendered by the mixed choir
under the direction of Prof. F1asch.
Father E1skamp delivered an address
in English previous to the reception
of the children and later spoke in
German.
ST. Georges church is enjoying a
period of great prosperity and the
growth of the church during the last
year has been the largest in its his
tory. At the present time the con-
prepation is rated a. one of the larp-
est in the southern part of the state.
Added to this fact is the fact that the
opening of two new congregations of
the Catholic church during the last
two years has taken from st. Georges

PASSED UP BIC BOOTY
Burglar at the Home of John NJ.
kehIor on Pleasant Street is
Frightened Away.
POLICE OFFICER GIVES CHASE
Man Enters Old University School and
is Chased by Police Officer.-Home
of Nathan Allen at Park Place
is Again a Target.

After his day of rest on Friday the
burglar or burglars again got busy
on Saturday evening and two places
were entered. The first place was
the home of John NJ. Kehlor on
Pleasant street and the second the old
University school building on Prairie
avenue now occupied by Mrs. Lar
sen and used as boarding house. At
the latter place the intruder was dis
covered by Mrs. Larsen and driven
from the building. AS he left the
house he started to run and Police
Officer Biennemann who was near the
corner at the time took after the
fellow but he managed to escape and
the officer was rot able to get good
description of him.
The burglar was just trying one of
the doors on the upper floor of the
building when he was discovered by
Mrs. Larsen and he had not entered
any of the rooms. This was about 10
O'Clock in the evening and the street
door to the boarding house had not
been locked for the night.
The attempted robbery at the
Keh1or home took place an hour
earlier. Mr.. and Mrs. Keh1or and the
other members of the family were
sitting in the lower part of the house
when they heard some one moving
about in the upper rooms. AS Mr..
Kehlor had just made circuit of the
house to lock the doors he knew that
none of the members of the family
were in that part of the house so
he started for the upper floor. The
robber was too quick for him and
quietly slipped down back stairway
and by the time Mr.. Keh1or reached
the rear of the house he was nowhere
! in sight.
A search of the house seemed to
show that the man had secured
nothing of value. However he over
looked the biggest booty that has
came into his radius since he began
operations in Kenosha. Mrs. Keh1or
and her children had planned to start
for Asbury Park on Sunday morning
and a hand satchel containing a1arge
sum of money and jewelry, the entire
amount being worth more than two
thousand dollars lay on the bed in the
room which must have been passed
through by the intruder. However
he had such short time to get out of
the house that it is thought that he
completely gave up the idea OF rob-
berry aud left.
During the early hours of the morn
ing the police had call to- the home
of Nathan Allen on Park place. Mr..
Allen had been awakened during the
night by suspicious noises and he at
once notified the members of the force.
The house was quickly surrounded
and search made, but it resulted in
nothing being found. Nothing was
missing from the house.
It was reported this morning that a
burglar had been caught at the Ole
drug store, on Park street, but this
story is without any foundation in
fact. Ole had seen suspicious look
ing character about the store and had
telephoned the police, but when they
arrived the fellow could not be found.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
NV. r. r. Co. Asks to Extend Tracks
to Chicago Brass Co.'s Plant.

The Kenosha city council met in
regular session Monday evening, but
as most of the aldermen were plan
ming to celebrate the Fourth there was
little business done save in the usual
routine line.
The Chicago & North Western Rail-
way Company presented petition to
the council asking that the company
be allowed to use a small portion of
Fremont avenue for the laying of a
switch to the plant of the Chicago
Brass Company. This was referred
to the committee on streets, alleys
and bridges and will be taken up at
the next meeting.
Thomas J. Ryan, who has been un-
der FIRE as special police officer, sent
his resignation to the council.
The council decided to accept the
work on the paving of Exchange and
Eagle streets, and the contractors
will remedy the alleged defects.

WhirIWind Finishes Mark the Two
Victories Won by the Keno
sha Teams on Sunday.
LEAGUERS DEFEAT THE GRAYS
Kenosha Regulars Bat Out Victory
Over the Pullmans of Chicago in
the Ninth Inning at Central
Park-Two Good Games

Whirlwind finishes marked the con-
tests on the base ball diamonds in Ke-
nosha Sunday and the two Kenosha
teams each won victories. Out at
Breens park the Kenosha ex-1eaguers
defeated the Whiting Grays of Whit
ing, Ind, by a score of four to three
while at Central Park the Regulars
defeated the Pu11mans of Chicago by
by the same score. Both contests
were marked with sharp, snappy
plays.
Cumiskey pitched his first winning
game of the season in Kenosha at the
Breen park and he won his own game
by a daring steal of home base in the
eighth inning. Up to this inning the
game looked pretty bad for Kenosha.
Cumiskey had been pitching pretty
good ball but thevisitors had straight
ened out the ball for a couple of two
baggers and three Dagger, the brace
of hits netting total of three runs.
The Kenosha team in the meantime
had managed to get couple of men
over the rubber and things looked de-
cidedly dubious. In the eighth how
ever the boys came to their own and
aided by the miserable support given
McGi1l by the visitors they managed
to score two runs. Cutriskey had per-
feet support behind him and had it
not been for this the story would have
been different one. McGill pitched
a fine game but his support was de-
cidedly bad at critical moments.
The score of the game follows:

FROM REV. z. e. BOYD.

Lincln, Neb., May 5.-To the Edi-
tor of The Wageworker: Replying to
yours concerning Ministers Associa-
ton and Central Labor Union, I beg
to say, the mission of the church is
to save men. The mass of men are
loborers. Therefore the church, If
she fulfills her mission, must reach
tho laboring man.
The indifference of the laboring
man to the appeal of the church is
largely the result of misunderstand-
ing. Any movement which will bring
about a better understanding is to be
hailed with joy.
1 believe the movement of the
Central Labor Union is a step in the
right direction. I should have re-
garded it as a decided backward step
and one greatly to be deplored had
the Ministers Association refused to
cooperate. Yours fraternally,
EARL E. BOYD,

ers. Christ knew no classes. He
knew men only. He loved them be-
cause they were men, and for the
same reason labored and sacrificed
for them. And His representatives
should meet the representatives of
the laboring interests in the same
broad spirit. We should come to-
gether with the earnest purpose to
be OF mutual help.
The minister needs the laboring
man, and, perhaps, the laboring man
needs the minister. The laborers con-
stitute large and influential element
in every communitr, and, as one who
is striving to do thsA work of his Mas
ter, the minister can not afford to
he out OF sympathy with those who
toll.
Personally, I hail this move with
the greatest satisfaction and with
high hopes that it may prove of bene-
fit to the mass of wage earners in
our city and likewise an honor to the
name of the blessed Christ. Cordially
yours.
