FARRILL WILL LEAD
E. P. FarriII ofgKenosha Elected
President Of Southern Wiscon-
sin Christian!E Union
END or SUCCESSFUL SEASON

E. P. Farrill, of this city, assistant
secretary of the Kenosha branch of
the Y. M. G. A. and an active worker
in religious work, was on Saturday
evening elected president eof the
Southern Wisconsin Union of the
Christian Endeavor society, aud he
will direct the work of the Society in
the churches Of this district during the
coming twelve months. Racine was
selected as the next place for holding
the annual convention1andsthe WEIGH
Congregational church will have the
honor Of entertainingJthe Edeavorera
in 1907.
Mr.. Farrill, the new president Of the
union, has been connected with the
work for several years and has been
one Of the most enthusiastic workers.
The full list Of officers follows:
President E.P. Farril1, Of Kenosha.
Vice-President-Mrs. J. c. Colby, of
Union Grove.
Secretary and Treasurer - Miss
Monnel1, of Racine.
Missionary Superintendent. = Miss
Louise Millman, of Racine.
The convention held at Union Grove
witch clcsedaon Saturday twas the
most interesting ever he1dDamong the
members of the society in this section
Of the state. Delegates we're present
from nearly all of the churches in the
district and the attendance was larger
than in any former year.
The prominent speakers included
Rev. G. H. Bea1e, D. d., Milwaukee;
Walter Bender, Milwaukee; Charles
PuehIdr, assistant Y. MIC. A. state
secretary, and Rev. Edgar t. Farri11,
Kenosha.
One of the unique sessions of the
convention was the gathering Satur-
day afternoon, at which time greet
ings from the pastors of the district
we're received. Nearly every pastor
was present and those not being able
to bethere sent messages.
The special music 9was factor that
added much to the several services.
Each session had special leader for
the song service.
The success of the convention is
due to the untiring efforts of those in
charge. The retiring president, r.
Stanley Powles, received the highest
praise from the Endeavorers for his
faithful work fol the upbnilding Of
the district. This district of societies
Of this state has made great strides
the past three years, and now it
stands in the front rank with other
districts of the Badger state. A good
share Of this attainment is due to Mr..
Powles, and the remainder is due to
the fact that the district as whole
has stood back of its leader ready for
sefvice.1
The reports from the different So
cieties showed marked gain in each
case. The fact that the convention of
1905 had been carried home by the
former delegates and had been re-
ceived made itself manifest in the
spirit presented by the new dele
gates this year.

TELLS OF VICKsBURG
Capt. George Hale Speaks Before the
High School Students

George Hale spoke to the United
States history classes of the Kenosha
High school this morning, on the
battle of Vicksburg. He showed an
excellent map of the locality, and ex-
planned the situations Of the armies,
the lines Of work, aud the plans of
attack. He told how Grant, with the
disapprova1 of all his officers, crossed
the river; and winning a couple of
battles started his assault on the city.
After keeping up continuous fight
along the twelve miles of works, on
the 4th of July Vicksburg sLrren-
dered.
After the surrender came the story
of the starving inhabitants, and the
glorious reading of the Declaration of
Indep endence.
The address was very interesting
and instructive, and was greatly ap-
preciated by all the students.

LABORERs ON STRIKE
Men Employed on New Line Demand
an Increase Of rs Cenfs a Day


a Large force of men employed as
section laborers on the new spur of
the Cnicago and Northwestern rail-
way, two miles west of the city, went
on strike late Saturday afternoon,
demanding an increase Of Is cents
day "a their wages. The contractors
Ia charge of the work have so far de-
clined to meet the demand, and it is
thought that new men will be secured
to take the places of the strikers with
in few days.
Moretnan AGO men are employed on
the work and the contractors declare
that It would be impossible for them
to meet the strikers demands as such
action would result in demand for a
similar increase from all men en-
ployed in the work.

Famous Action Brought in This
County to be Taken up at
Waukesha Next Week
DETECTIVE CLAIMS DAMAGES
Cowie Makes Sensational Statements
in Regard to Conduct of Officials
of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
ST. Paul Railway Company

Clerk of the Circuit Court Waldo
received letter this morning, stating
that the famous suit Of Fred G.. Cowie.
former Kenosha man against the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
Railway company would be taken up
for trial at Waukesha next week.
The suit which was of a sensational
nature was filed in this county more
than two years ago, but as Cowie was
shortly afterward arrested on a
criminal warrant, the hearing of the
action had been delayed until he
could arrange to clear himself of the
charges against him.
The action brought by Cowie is to
collect some $4,000 which he alleges
the company owes him for services as
a detective. Cowie claims to have
been employed by the company during
the year 1908 and he claims that his
services were only partially paid for.
He does not allege an agreement as
to pay, but insists that the money
saved the company by his services
was reasonably worth $4,000.
The suit is based on an alleged
fraudulent action on the part of Off
Gals of the railway company, and on
revelations made by one j. F. Coch-
rane, who was formerly employed in
the capacity Of a car accountant by
the Milwaukee road. According to
the allegations Of Cowie, Cochrane
after he had been discharged by the
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul rail-
way company went to the officers of
a prominent western road and assured
them that he had statistics from the
books of his former employers which
would show that the Chicago, Milmau-
kee & ST, Paul road had defrauded the
other com panies out Of thousands Of
dollars.
| Cowie claims that becoming aware
of the fact that these figures were
not taken from the books Of the com
pany he went to the officials Of the
company and offered to secure evi.
ldence to this effect. He claims that
he had Cochrane make statement in
the hearing of officials of the COM
| pany that his figures were not from
the books of the company but taken
! from bis memory Of the transactions.
It is alleged that the company armed
/ with this statement was able to refute
the claims Of the other companies and
that the affdavits of Cochrane made
it impossible for the other companies
to bring action in court to collect
the large amounts alleged to be owed.
The total amounts were over mil
| lion dollars.
At the time the suit was brought
the company's managers issued a
statement denying the truth of the
allegations, but they at once had the
case removed to Waukesha county for
| trial.
Cowie was formerly known here as
"a fire detective and he was connected
with the trial of the famour arson
cases.
| Attorney A. E. 1uckmaster of this
city was an attorney of counsel in the
action brought by Cowie. 1t is posi-
bic that the case will be sent back to
| Kenosha county for trial as it is un-
derstood that the attorneys for Cowie
are opposed to trying It in Waukesha.

The work people build all the

The work people build all the

roads.
The work people build all the

The work people make all the

no autos or carriages.
The work people build all the
hotels, but they own no hotels
nor do they ever eat in a decent
hotel.
The work people dig all the
diamonds, but they own none
themselves.
The work people produce all
the wealth, but the work people
possess no wealth.
The work people do all the
serving to the drones, but the
drones never serve them.
The work people produce all
the stupidity land they possess
all the stupidity.

THE MISSISSIPPI CENTRAL.
A Well known Citizen Of Franklin
Suggests Most Practical Route
Through That County.
McCaIl's Creek,
Erh 10 1905

McCaIl's Creek,
Feb. 12, 1906.
Editor Leader: As | have not
heard anything said in print by
any of our Franklin people in
reference to the Mississippi Cen
tral running through our county,
| will give my views in regard to
what some of the benefits would
be.
First, we have as fine timber as
ican be found any where in the
State, except the fat pine lands of
the Eastern part of the State. Al
though ours is not as large as the
fiat woods, there are other Varie-
ties consisting of white oak, post
oak, hickory and poplar.
We have also a great deal of
large pine and thousands of acres
of second-growth pine timber,
that will square from a foot to
eighteen inches; besides we have
more large creek bottom lands
than any county in this part of
the State, that can't be developed
thoroughly without railroad trans.
portation. We have first, Nc
Calls creek, Homochitto river,
Magee's creek, Middle Fork and
Morgan's Fork, besides a number
of creeks that / shall not mention.
Now while | am no great 6nan-
cier, | think it would be Of great
profit, both to the people and to
the road to run through the CEN
ter of Franklin county. First to
the company, as there is no COM
petition such as will be found by
coming in contact with the Little
j. and with which road they will
nave to run parallel distance of
% or 80 miles.
Now | give my views as to the
route it should come through
Franklin county. After crossing
the |. @. it should run in wes-
terly direction and cross the
Brookhaven and Natchez road
near the Linton place, and run
mug south Of Beaver creek, cross
MeCall's creek at the Ferguson
place, running down on the north
side of the creek to the river
crossing at the Coor place, and
following the valley, crossing the
Mead, lille and Rrookhayen road
near Rollins creek and leaving
MeadviIle a little to the left;
crossing the Valley road to the
right of Roxie and interseeting
the old Franklin railroad at Dr..
Johnson's place, which would
save an immense amount of grad
ing.
| think a railroad running from
Brookhayen to Natchez would
lose the most practical route that
could be selected if it were to run
any other route and this can be
vouched for by the most promi-
nent men of both town and coun-
| try. CHAS.. |. BUCKELS.

MISSISSIPPI CENTRAL.
A NEW PRELIMINARY SURVEY BEGUN
BETWEEN NATCHEz AND BROOK
HAVEN.
Bridge at Smiths Ferry Completed and
RaiI-layine Commenced This Side
of the Pearl.

Capt. A. Archibald, chief engi-
neer OF the Mississippi Central
Railroad, returned to Brookhayen
from Natchez yesterday morning.
Capt. Archibald was seen by a
representative of The Leader and
gave several items of interest
about this new railroad which
means so much to Brookhayen and
the territory through which it is
to run. The preliminary survey
of the lower route between Match
ez and Brookhaven was started by
a party of engineers at the Match
ez end Thursday.
This line will pass just north of
Meadville, and generally follow
the course outlined by Mr.. Buck
els, our Franklin correspondent,
in today's Leader. After this
preliminary survey is completed,
| It will be carefully compared With
the survey of the contemplated
route further ~northward, and a
decision made between the two.
On account of its being shorter
and more direct and the probable
difference In amount of grading to
be done, Capt. Archibald seemed
favorably impressed with the low
er or Meadville route.
A survey of ten miles out from
Hattiesburg In the direction of
Pascagoula, has also just been
made.
The railroad bridge across
Pearl River has been completed,
and the first locomotive crossed
the bridge last Tuesday. Track
laying on this side of the Pearl is
now under way, and it is expect
ed that the work will be complet-
ed to Brookhaven by April, and
probably some time during that
month trains will run through
from Hattieshurg to this city.
Capt. Archibald said that the
line through Brookhayen has not
yet been finally decided upon
Ion account Of negotiations
still pending with the |. G. as to
where the Mississippi Central will
cross the tracks of the /. 9. He
says the completion of the entire
line of the Mississippi Central be-
tween Matches and Pascagoula via
Brookhaven is only a question of
time, and predicts bright and
prosperous future for this city.
