The status and the progress of this Church
should afford a valuable object lesson to those
who lament what they call the decline of faith
and the failure Of the churches. We can per
ceive no failure of Methodism, and no decline
OF its faith Although one of the younger or
the great denominations. it has In point OF
numbers far Outstripped all other Protestant
churches in this country, save perhaps one
and to-day includes nearly One-third Of all the
Protestant Church membership of the United
States; and it still stands foremost in rate or
growth That is inspiring record, and we
shall not err if we credit It largely to the fact
already noted. namely that, while Methodism
involves n spiritual idealism probably not sur

DIES FAR'FROM HOME
Carrie Pabst 0berst Dies Sud.
denly at Butte, Mont, on
Monday Afternoon
DETAILS ARE NOT RECEIVED

A telegram received IN this city
Monday night announced the death
of Mrs. Carrie Pabst Oberst of Keno
sha, which occurred on, Monday after
noon at Butte, Mont. The telegram
contained no details of the death of
Mrs. Oberst and it had been sent by
the funeral director who had taken
charge of the remains.
Mrs. Oberst was q years of age.
She is survived by one daughter, lit
tie Hazel Oberst, who was with her at
the time of her death. Mrs. Oberst
had left her home in Kenosha year
ago and had gone to the Montana
city several months ago. Her parents
had received several 1etterssifrom her
but in none of them hadIitSbeen stated
that she was seriously i'll and the an
nobncement of her DEATH came as a
sad blow to her relatives here. Alder
man Pabst will 1eave,stl1is evening
for Butte to acknowledgements to Ke-
nosha. Announcement ofathe funeral
will be made later.
The death sofRsMrs. Oberst recalls
the fact that an action for divorce
brought by her against Henry Oberst
is now pending in the courts of the
county. 1t is claimed that this action
was the direct reason for Mrs. Oberst
leaving Kenosha and going to Butte
to reside at the home of her uncle.
After Mrs. Oberst had brought action
for divorce the husband filed a coun-
ter action in the courts of Milwaukee,
both making an effort to secure the
custody of the little daughter. The
child was finally left in the custody
of the mother, but it is stated that
Oberst made threats to take the child
by force and the mother fearing that
such an attempt might be made de-
cided to go with the child to the far
west. Oberst was formerly Kenosha
plumber but he has resided in Mil
waukee for several years.

SET UP FIRST FLAG
Ensign Simmons, Originator Of
Salvation Army in This Country,
Takes Charge Of Work Here
ADDISON TO WORK IN CHICAGO

There was great gathering at the
barracks of the Kenosha corps of the
Salvation Army Sunday night, when
Captain and Mrs. Addison babe fare
we'll to the workers in Kenosha, and
were succeeded in the work by En-
sign Simmons and Lieutenant jeff.
Capt. and Mrs Addison will leave to-
morrow for Chicago, where they will
take up special work in connection
with the general Chicago headquar-
ters. Ensign Simmons and her as,
sistant are now in charge of the Ke-
nosha work.
Ensign Simmons is one of the most
distingr.sh ed women connected with
the wor of he army in the United
States. Entirely consecrated to the
work, she has had a large measure Of
success. Twenty-six years ago En-
sign Simmons planted the first flag of
the Salvation Army on American soil.
At that time the army had just started
its work in this country and she was
the first official to come to take charge
! of corps. Mrs. Simmons was in
charge of the work in Philadelphia,
and it was there that the army made
its first stand in this country. Out of
the seemingly small start the army
has grown, until, at the present time,
every city in the country has its posts
and the work is now being extended
to villages and ham1ets. Mrs. Sim
mons, during the past year, has been
IN charge of the headquarters of the
army at Danville, and she was called
from Danvil1e to take up the work in
Kenosha. She is a woman of bust
ness and it is certain that she will
have large success at the head OF the
Kenosha corps. Ensign Simmons is
not unknown to the workers in Keno
sha, as she has been here on several
occasions, and it was largely through
her efforts that the corps was origin
ally formed.
Captain and Mrs. Addison were
given a fearful farewell Sunday
night, as they have made many
friends during their stay in,Kenosl1a.

OPPOSED THE Law
Essemblyman curtiss Declares
He has no Sympathy for Dunn
Pocket Ballot Law
SHOULD BE BEATEN AT POLLS

ss kAssemblyman Walker NJ. Curtiss,
Of the town of Salem, was in Kenosha
today and during his visit to the city
hewas interviewed in regard to the
Dunn pocket ballot law which is to be
submitted to the people at the coming
judicial election. Assemb1yman Cur
tiss had been credited with voting for
the law, but he states that if he cast
ballot for the law he was not aware
Of it. He insists that the only time in
which he acted favorab1y in connec-
ton with the measure was when he
voted to submit it to the people. Cur
tiss declares that he has always been
opposed to the passage of the law
adopting the Dunn ballot and he
wants the people of Kenosha county
to know it. Mr.. Curtiss holds that
the Dunn ballot is Objectionable for
many reasons and that it will greatly
complicate elections.
The question of adopting the ballot
will be of little moment to the people
ofthe city but its adoption would put
large expense on the county. In
the city where voting machines have
been established in every ward the
people will not be provided with bal
lots, but ia the rural districts the
Dunn ballot will be used if the law
goesg into effect as result of the
t election. The most serious objection
to the law is not the expense con-
nected with the printing of the ballot
butt fact that the ballot is so com
plicated that it is feared that many of
the ordinary voters will not be able to
cast an intellig entsvote. The expense
Of providing the ballots would be
many times as great as the expense
to the county under the present Aus
tralian ballot system
The proposition will be published
several times before the election and
and the voters are urged to carefully
consider the matter before voting and
to not fail to express their opinion at
the5polls.

PLAN MANY BOUTS
Algonquin Athletic Club Arrange for
Long Card of Fights at the Rhode


Kenosha is to have another boxing
show on next Monday night, when the
ring at the Rhode opera house will be
set up for series of bouts arranged
by the Algonquin Athletic club. The
card of fights as arranged promises
some interesting sport. The wind up
will be between Jack Bennett the
former welter'weight champion of the
Northwest and Joe Montgomery, both
of Kenosha. Both Of the men have
have pretty fair records and they
should put up a good fight. They will
meet at 100 pounds and the fight is
scheduled to. go six rounds.
The pre1iminaries will include a go
between Jack DAILY of Kenosha and
Tommy Kelly of Chicago, at 125
pounds, one between Kid Hertz and
Andy Yorke of Kenoshs at 125 pounds,
one between John Williams of Keno
sha, and A. Yandt of Waukegan, at
133 pounds. One of the strong features
of the card is the bout between Louis
Shelton of Kenosha, and Sport"
Christensen of Waukegan. These
men will meet at 122 pounds and the
go should be one of the fastest ever
seen in the city.
