Save the City from Money Lenders

DIVA ASKS Zion ReOple TO
Save the City from Money Lenders
PIctnring a gloomy financial situa-
ton and recognizing crisis,
Overseer Voliva called upon the
residents of Zion City last night
for over $3.50, 900 to save the commun-
ity from the money lenders, and thus
to relieve the present pressure and
put the industries on a paying basis.
AS security he promised the people
first mortgages on the lace factory
and the printing house.

their salaries; he asked clerks and
laborers to work for So. 80 week, and
upbraided the followers of Dr.. Dowie
for wearing jewelry and gandy
clothes.
Accept in pay just enough to pro-
vide for living expenses" was his
urgent request, he himself declaring
he was willing to live on Is cents a
week if possible to thus keep body
and soul together.
Overseer Voliva made an open con-
fession before the members of the
flock and declared that an unohristian-
like blunder had been made in the
finances of Zion.

a way that is really unchristianlike,
he stated Id appealing to the people
for donations. Though we have
never attempted to cover up,anything
ia connection with the sale and pur-
chase of our land, a wrong was done
ia giving out leases without stating
in the leases that the land was not
free from incumbrance.
II am going to pray that every
ecclesiastical officer of Zion may be
converted SO that we can make good
our boast that Zion has no sa1aried
ministers. am absolutely opposed
to salaried ministry and am going
to ask every one to do what he ought

possible.
Zone Of the principal reasons why
the industries Of Zion have not pros
pered as they ought is because they
have not had working capital. / in

furnish this capital. / intend to do
business in way that will satisfy any
business man, and will sign an iron

purposes intended.
IF the people will furnish $125,000
for working capital for the lace
factory I will give them first mort
gage on the entire plant. Also, if
the people will raise $4,000 more for
the printing house will see that they
get a first mortgage on the building

OLD FIGHTER DEAD
Letters Announce Death of Patsy
Darlington at 0c0Rsto on
Last Friday Evening
FELL UNDER RAILWAY TRAIN

Letters have been received IN this
city announcing the death of Patsy
Darlington, former Kenosha char
acter, which occurred on last Friday
night at Oconto. The remains of
Darlington were picked up along the
railway tracks, and it is supposed
that he fell under the train while at
tempting to board freight car.
Darlington was man with rec
ord. It has been several years since
he made Kenosha his home but he
had made periodic trips to the city
during thes past few months. OAR
rington was known to nearly all Of
the old crowd about the city. The
records of the police court have often
contained Darrington's name but be
| it said to his credit that he was never
charged with any offense greater than
| intoxication.
In yearssgone by Darlington gained
fame as a pugilist. He was one of the
best known fighters IN Wisconsin for
many years ard had the record for
the lightSweights in the state. With.
in the past ten years Darlington had
fought several times IN Kenosha and
he was regarded as good man at the
time of his death. Darlington was
always ready to give display of his
prowess and he never asked odds of
any man when it came to entering
the ring. He was fighter who had
he been carefully trained would un-
doubtedly have made a mark IN the
ring, but he gave up too much of his
time to sporting and for this reason
his career as pugilist ended while
yet he was young man. Darlington
was married in this city but his wife
secured divorce from him many
years ago.
The details of the death of Daring
ton have not been received by his
friends in Kenosha. It is known that
he had been working at Oconto and it
is thought possible that hehad started
out on an excursion to some nearby
city when he fell under the wheels
and was killed. The remains were
buried at -Oconto. Darlington was
about 40 years of age.

THEIRS HEADS CLUB
Edward C. Theirs Elected Presi-
dent Of Country Club at An
nuaI Meeting Of Directors
SEEK MORE WOMEN MEMBERS

Edward C. Theirs was selected as
president of the Kenosha Country
Club at the annual meeting of the
board of directors of the organization
held at the Office of the Balm Wagon
Works on Friday afternoon. Mr..
Theirs is one Of the best known mem
bers of the club and he was the
unanimous choice of the directors for
the office. At the present time Mr..
Theirs is in California, but there is no
donbt but that he will accept the po-
sition. Charles w. Allen was re-
elected as vice president Of the or
ganization, and E. L. Grant was
elected to serve another year in the
capacity of secretary and treasurer.
The annual report of the secretary
and treasurer showed that there was
the usual deficit in the funds at the
close of the last season, but this has
been provided for and the club will
start out the new year with clean
ledger. The outlook for the new
season is a most promising one. It is
expected that many new mem bers will
be added to the club before the open
ing of the season. The directors dis
cussed the ACCESSIBILITY of interesting
more of the young women of the city
in the club, and it is probable that in
the next few weeks some plans will be
made by the directors by which the
young women will be admitted to the
club at very low rates. At the pres
ent time there are only few women
golfers in Kenosha and the club mem
bers are anxious to stimulate new
interest in golf among The women.
The plans for the opening Of the
golf season will be the same as in
former years, and the links will be
formally opened with the Memorial
Day tournament. However, the links
will be opened for the use of the
players before that time, and It is
probable that the temporary green's
will be ready for use late in April.
No action was taken to employ 2 club
professional to take the place made
vacant by the resignation of Willie
Still, and for the present at least the
club will dispense with such services.

Sewer Contractor McGovern Ap.
plies for a Writ Of Mandamus
Against City Committee
WANTS HIS BILL REVIEWED
Claims in His Petition That the Mem
bers of the Committee Have Re-
fused to Set 4 Time for
Hearing on the Bill

Sewer Contractor Michael N. Nc
Govern, of Chicago, has fired the open
L ing shot in his fight to collect a bill
for extras for the sewers built during
che year just closed, and on Thursday
afternoon he signed an application
for a write Of mandamus tosforce the
street assessment committee of the
city to set time for hearing on the
bill IN order that it might be adjusted
and paid. The application was made
before Court COMMISSIONER Henry
Hastings, who acted only in the capa-
city Of notary public. 1t has not as
yet identified with the clerk of the
circuit court and no date has been set
for thes.hearing on the question.
1t isuprobable that the application
for writ of mandamus will be pre-
scented to Judge Belden in Racine, and
that hearing will be held within the
next ten days. In the mean time, it
lis very probable that the committee
whichsis named as the defendant in
the application will hold a meeting,
at which time the. bill will be slashed
and then it will be returned to the
council.
McGovern Esscame to Kenosha on
Thursday, attended by his attorney,
and it is thought that he expected to
have hearing before the committee
at that time. When this hearing
failed to smaterialize the application
for a writ was at once prepared and
sworn to. The application is entitled
"Peop1e Eof the State of Wisconsin,
Elk Relation, Michael McGovern VS.
James. German, James H. O'Brien and
RobertgH. Moth, Assessment Comm
ittee ofsthe City of Kenosha.
/ In the opening paragraphs of the
applicationsMr. McGovernsrelates the
history ofgthe building of the sewers
in thescity during the last year and
the contract for the work is made a
part Of the application. Further it is
stated thatsin making the sewer sys
tenn the city became indebted to Mr..
lMcGovern for certain extra expenses
not Included II the contract. The
amount of the extras is Plecea at S1o,
l276.79. McGoyern states that this biz
for extras was regularly presented t
the committee sear1y in January bu
that he had not been able to get {
hearing on it and that the committee
has taken no steps to have the bill re
viewedland paid.
He insists that he has made many
efforts to getaa conference with the
committee but that this has been re
fused. In order to force the consider
alton ofSthesbill Judge Belden is asked
to issue the writ of mandamus otder
ing the members of the committee t.
at once set "a date for conference
| with the contractor.
The committee has already consid
cred the bill and it is stated that tht
committee will have report ready
for the city council on next Monday
levening. In the meantime if the wri
is issued the committee will probab,
bow to the dignity Of the law and hav'
a meeting with MIR. McGovern.

FIX GOLF MEET DATES
State Tournament to be Held in James
Vile June %, 90 and 80

The Wisconsin state golf champion
ship will probably be held at the links
of the Sinnissippi Country Club the
last three days in June. While this
time has not been officially set it is
more than likely to be selected as the
Western cham ionships will be de-
cided in ST. Louis the week preceding.
The directors Of the Wisconsin Golf
association will hold meeting next
week to take action.
The state tournament this year
promises to surpass the previous ones
because of the increasing interest in
the game and the nearness of the Sim
nissippi course to the homes Of the
majority of the golfers of the state.
The greater number of golfs1inks in
Wisconsin are In the south, and James
vile will be easily reached from Mil
waukee, Kenosha, Racine, Oshkosh,
and Madison, and La Crosse and Eau
Claire are certain to send representa-
tives.to the meet. All three of the
Milwaukee clubs, the Blue Mound,
Milwaukee Country and Lake Shore
clubs will send teams, andithe chances
are that upwards to twenty-five golf
ers from the Cream City will be there.
The GAINESVILLE golfer hope to have
the links ready for practice at the
earliest possible time as already a
number of golfers have expressed
their intention Of going to Janesv. lie
a week before the tournament begging
to fami1iarize themselves with the
course.

FARMERS BUY HORSES

Many Farmers to Kenosha

Between FIVE hundred and thous-
and farmers from different parts of
the county and Northern Illinois came
to Kenosha Saturday to attend the first
horse sale given by Walter Dexter.
The horses were offered for sale at
the Kimoa11 & Kraai barn on Park
street and they brought good prices.
The animals were choice lot and
several Of the teams brought nearly
$500. Eighty head were sold and the
sale was SO successful that it is
thought another sale will be held in
another month.

What Is a GentlemanP

Among the Persians at the time of
Cyrus the boys were taught to ride, to
speak the truth and to draw the bow.
That meant manliness, truthfulness
and courage, all essential to the char
acter of gentleman. The knights of
chivalry, who were the gentlemen of
their time, added the duty of rescuing
the oppressed and distressed and this
completed the ideal by teaching I'M
selfishness and service. If a boy is
taught to he always -'f-respecting
courageous AID truthful and invariably
considerate, not outwardly but as the
expression Of true kindness of spirit,
of the rights and feelings of others, he
will grow up, whether he be rich or
poor, a professional man or laborer
to have the right to claim not by any
artificial distinction, but in his own
right, all that it implies, "the grand old
name of gentleman"

That the Jews, who stand all the
world over for the most conservative
and pacific of pursuits-money-gra

telllglble, when you remember that in
her treatment of the sacred people. as
IN other things, Russia is medieval.
Under laws which were professedly
temporary, but which for fifty years
nave continued unrepealed, no Jew
may buy or rent land, may sit on the
