MoRMONs AT ZION CITY.
Two Elders Make an Effort to Prose1yte
Among Dowie's Followers.

Mormon missionaries have been
driven from Zion City and the threat
ened invasion of Dowie's stronghold
repu1sed. John Alexander was vic
torious over the attempted storming
of Zion when he caused to be driven
from his city Mormon Elders Nephi
G. Sorenson and Francis E. Be1knap.
The expulsion occurred Saturday
night and the missionaries were
turned into the cold with no place
nearer than Waukegan to obtain
shelter.
The missionaries fled and the Nor
mon church has been vanquished in
Zion after a month of quiet work un-
der the nose of Dowie. The Mormon
church entered the community of
Dowie's followers boldly and above
board, and the audacity of requests
to permit Mormon missionaries to
work in the chosen field of Dowie
appeared to daze Elijah III, who gave
consent. The men worked month,
when the clash came.

WINDSOR MEN FEAST.
Foremen at the Windsor Spring Fac

The foremen of the different de-

were the guests at banquet given at
the Hotel Kenosha Monday evening in
honor of w. F. White, Of Allegheny,
Pa. manager of the branch of the
plant in that city. Dinner was served

ing1y decorated with flowers and
Christmas greens and an eight course
dinner was served during the evening.
After the dinner was over the chairs
were pushed back and B. r. Windsor,
president of the company, acted as
POSTMASTER and introduced the speak
ers for the evening. Nearly every one
of the guests about the long table
was called upon to speak before the
merry crowd disbanded for the night.
The plans for the coming year at the
factory were discussed informally dur
ing the evening and a hearty feeling
of good will was developed between
the managers and the foremen.

KENOsHA COUNTY GAINING
Reports of Births and Deaths Show a
Noticeable Increase.

Register Of Deeds p. C. Torrey
this morning fled with the coun-
ty cleek his annual report of births
and deaths in the county during the
last twelve months and the report
shows that the natural increase of
population in Kenosha county during
the past year was 323. The total
number of births in the county for the
year was Oil and the number Of
deaths was 288 while the number of
marriages is put down as 294. In 1908
there were 543 births, 269 deaths and
254 marriages. The report for this
county for the last year compares
favorably with the report of Racine
county. In the latter county the
births during the year numbered 1881.
deaths 747 and marriages 372.
The report this year shows that
the physicians and mid wives in
Kenosha county are observing the
law and in every town in the county
the number of births shows a large
increase. The deaths in the county
are decidedly low and this shows that
the dsath rate Of Kenosha county will
be far below that of the other coun-
ties IS this section of the state.

Bay, accompanied by President of the
City Council w. j. Abrams and Alder
man r. E. Duncan, Of the same city,
came to Kenosha on Monday evening

system will in the near future be sue
ceeded by a municipal plant. The Of
fcia1s of the sister city were given a
cordial welcome to Kenosha and were
shown about the water plant by the
members of the commission. Mayor
Minahan was greatly impressed
with the showing which the munich
pal plant has made. From this city
the party will go to Madison to in
spect the municipal plant there. Al
derman Duncan will not be able to
accompany the party to Madison, as
he was taken i'll at the Eiche1man ho-
tel Monday night, but was sufficiently

WheIms the Kenosha Five
by a Score Of SIS to Fl.
LOCAL TEAM LOSES PRESTIGE

The Kenosha Y. M. c.. A. basket
ball team, which last year held the
state championship, and which held
the second highest place in the west,
met it's second defeat of the opening
season at the gymnasium at Evanston
Monday night, when it was defeated
by the Evanston five in a fast game
by score of SIS to d. With a defeat
at the hands of the Central team from
Milwaukee against it, and this defeat
from one of the stronger Illinois teams,
the Kenosha boys will have to take a
decided brace if they expect to up
hold the proud record of the former
year. The Evanston team is certain
1y team of stars of the first mag
nitude and their play was entirely too
fast for the Kenosha team. The work
of Macauley, the left forward Of the
Evanston team, was especially bril-
liant and during the two periods he
made seventeen field goals. Schmitt
and Zens, of the Kenosha team, tied
for high honors with record Of two
goals each.
The game was witnessed by large
crowd of the supporters of the two
teams, quite number going down
from Kenosha to witness the contest.
The score of the game follows.

GET CHANGE OF NAME.
Mrs. Grace Junge and Son Change
Their Family Names.

Grace Junge and Ernest Henry
Junge filed petitions with the register
OF deeds Monday asking that their
names be changed to Grace Young
and Ernest Henry Young. The re-
quest was granted.
Since the law was passed making it
possible for names to be changed but
seven people in Kenosha county have
availed themselves of the opportunity.
In most of these cases the change was
similar to the one made by Mrs.
Junge and her son, and the action was
taken in order to prevent accidents
from the mis-spelling of name. In
one or two cases foreigners having
names which it was not possible for
Americans to pronounce, have
changed their names, and in such
cases the petitioners took names like
Smith and Brown. The fee for the
change of name is so cents, and it is
possible for any one to make legal
changelof name without further cost.

Unknown Man Sends a Letter to
Postmaster Admitting He
Rifled a Letter of$45
INSPECTOR TO PROBE LETTER
Man Signing Himself "F. b." Admits
That He Robbed Letter Sent by
Miss Eve to Waukegan Some
Two or Three Weeks Ago.

Postmaster Charles Frantz is in re-
ceipt of an anonymous letter which it
is thought will clear up the mystery
that has attended the Disappearance
of letter containing $45 which Miss
Eve of this city sent to parties in
Waukegan. The money disappeared
more than two weeks ago and all eff
forts to find any trace of it have been
in vain so far.
The letter which has been received
at the post Office is signed with the
initials IF. b. and the writer of the
letter states that he has decided to
admit that he took the $45 from the
letter sent by Miss Eve before it was
placed in the mail box at the post Of
fee. The party does not give any
further clue to his identity but the
handwriting would indicate that the
writer is a man. The postmaster,
while admitting that he had received
this unique admission of the crime
this morning, refused to discuss the
matter, stating that the matter was
in the hands of the inspectors and
that h = could give no information in
regard to the matter until the inspec-
tors had completed their work. It is
known, however, that the letter has
been placed in the hands of the in
spectors and an effort is being made
to find the writer. 1t will be a unique
search with nothing but the hand
writing for. clue. The case is one of
the most unusual ever presented to
the inspector by the local post office
Some time ago Miss Eve, a daughter
of the proprietor of the vofksfreund.
made a complaint to the post office
that letter containing $45 in money
had disappeared while transit between
Kenosha and Waukegan. The most
remarkable part of the story told by
the young woman was the fact that
$40 of the money was in silver.
1t was evident to the officials in the
Office that the money must have been
taken before the letter came into the
local office, and the complaint was
taken up with this end in view. The
result Ol Inc lHVcStlS dllOH seems TO
have been in the way of the anony-
nous admission of guilt. Miss Eve
has received from Waukegan the let
ter which is alleged to have contained
the money, and her father states that
across the envelope is stamped Ere
ceived in bad condition.
The letter may solve the mystery,
and to this end the inspectors will
bend all their energies to discovering
the identity of the mysterious 'F. 3. !"

SECOND COMPANY.
Articles Of Incorporation Being
Drawn for Kenosha and Lake
Geneva Railway Co.
WILL BUILD LINE TO THE WEST

Attorney James Cavanagh will file
during the present week articles of
incorporation for the incorporation Of
a new railway company in Kenosha.
The company will have it's head
quarters in Keaosha and will be
known as 1.-The Kenosha and Lake
Geneva Railway Company" The
company will oe directly allied with
the new Park City Electric railway
company which is now seeking a
franchise from the city. The company
will ave capital stock of
twenty-five thousand dollars composed
of $50 shares of 500 each. It will be
incorporated by two Kenosha and one
Chicago man and it's state charter will
give it the right to build and operate
railways in any county of the state of
Wisconsin but more particularly in
Kenosha and the surrounding
counties.
This company is being formed to
further the scheme of building line
from Kenosha to Lake Geneva and it
is the plan of the company to start the
surveys for the proposed line at once.
AS the company is directly allied with
the Park City Electric railway com
pany the new company will not seek
franchise for the use of the streets
of Kenosha but will utilize the lines
of the Park City company. Mr..
Cavanagh stated that the company
which was backing the proposed line
to the West would be composed entire
ly of business men and men who had
the money to carry out the project at
once. 1t is claimed that the new
company will purchase a large por-
ton of the right of way needed and
that in this manner they will be as
sured Of line on which good time can
be made.
Of course it will be necessary for
the promoters of the company to get
right of way over some of the roads
III the county but it is thought that
the town boards will meet the pro-
motors more than half way and that
the right of way will be secured with
little trouble and expense. The
matter Of right of way will be taken
up with the town boards as soon as a
state charter has been issued to the
new company.
