FLOOD OF GOLD.


The tide OF prosperity continues To
rise, despite the prophecies of pessl-
Inists and alrmaists, ana that fact is
strongly evidenced by the dclugc OF
gold that is being continuously pour
ed into the nations treasury. So
heavy is the income from our cuS-
toms and internal revenue that the
United States treasury officials us.
sert that money Is coming into the
government Golfers so fast these days
that H. Is almost impossible to keep
track of II. They are predicting now
that the surplus for the current fiscal
year VIII each about S75,00O,000, II
sum much larger than the surplus cs.
timated by Secretary Shaw last year
when he advised congress as to the
probable state of the treasury by
June 30, 1907. Secretary Shaw's es.
innate then was for surplus of $751;
100000. 1t looks now, according to
the treasury officials. as II this would
be increased by $l7.O00.O0 and proba.
bly, SlS,000000!
Unexpected expenditures may hold
the surplus down. but there is no sign
of any larger outlay than usual in tho
last two months Of the fiscal year.
May opened with n surplus of little
over $5G,OO0OOo as against about
$4,OOO.000 surplus Mt the same time
last year.
In the last two months of the fiscal
year the surplus increased by about
$2GoO0,OGO. and the treasury officials
consider there is no reason why his.
tory should not repeat itself this fis-
cnl year. a showing of an uneXpect.

fiscal year would he particularly graf.

nenditnrcs are common and much is
heafd of $l,O00.OOO,O0O congress ses-
sions. The excellent condition of the
treasury is due to the heavy income
from customs. internal revenue and
miscellaneous sources.
Revenue from these quarters Is
growing by leaps and bounds and
keeping pace with the vast exhaustion
of the business and Industrial affairs

custom officials were talking about

100000.
Last year the total was S3OOO0O,-
QUO, which broke all records nm To
that time. Now, the customs division
OF the treasury department will be
disappointed If the $3.50 900 900 mark
is not passed considerably. II Is nos.
sible that the total may reach s335
OO0,0O0!. "rhe way the custom re.
coipts are growing" said a prominent
treasury official today, "therS ia no

ceipts for the first ten months of the
fiscal year above 1927. 100000 or
about S2G,000,000 ahead of the Same
lime a year ago. The general cause
given for the heavy returns from
Scustoms and the constantly expanding
revenue from this source is that the
country is enjoying widespread pros.
perity and is buying more ana more
freely abroad.

inquest is meagre, but he will be able

People at Zion City Fear That
Present Church Leader
May Follow Dowie
HIS ILLNESS CROWS SERIOUS.

|
Wilbur Glenn Voliva, the present
ecclesiastical leader of the Christian
Catholic church at Zion City, is said
to be very seriously Ill and fears of
nissrecovery are entertained. Voliva
was taken i'll with an attack Of tonsi-
Tits on last Tuesday, and his con-
dition has become steadily worse
until today it is stateds that the
symptoms are alarming. So Ill was
Voliva on Thursday that he was un-
able to attend the funeral of Dowie,
and since that time his illness has
become worse.
All sorts of stories are going the
rounds in Zion, some of the men who
believed in the Dowie teachings de-
claring that Voliva has been struck
by the curse Of the dead overseer and
that his life must pay for his work
against the founder Of the city.
Vc1iva has made no announcement as
to his condition and calls at the house
today we're answered by servant
who stated that Mr.. Vo1iva was very
i'll but that the familylwere hopefulof
his recovery.
The fifth death within week at
Zion occurred Friday morning when
Mrs. Bertha Dinnius, wife of son of
Elder Dinnius, who was one of the
leaders in the revolt against Dowie,
died after short illness from pneu-
monia.
Many people are leaving Zion on
account of the large number of deaths
and it is claimed that thirty-four
families have removed from the city
to other states within the past week
ard others are ready TO leave just as
soon as cars can be secured for the
shipping of their household goods.
Most of the people leaving the city
are going to North and South Dakota
farming regions.
The excitement attending the death
and burial of Dowie has subsidized and
nearly all of the great crowd Of
visitors have left the city.

MAY DROP SCHEME VOLIVA IS VERY Ill
Municipal Court Bill Finding
Little Support Among the
Officials Of the City
BILL 70 DIE IN COMMITTEE

f
The rosy chances which appeared a
short time ago in regard to the estab-
lishment of a Municipal Court for the
city and county of Kenosha seem to
have faded, and it now looks as if the
bill, which was introduced into the
State Assembly and State Senate pro-
viding for the establishment of the
court, will be allowed to die in the
hands Of the committee on judiciary.
Not one single petition has been sent
to Madison urging the passags Of the
bill, and canvass Of the members Of
the Council shows that the aldermen
are taking no interest in.the plan.
The County Board members are not
only not in favor of the.court bill, but
most of them are opposed to it..
Henry Jordan, the Chairmanaof the
Board, when asked in regard to the
matter this morning, stated that it
would be impossible to get the senti-
ment Of the County Board without
calling special meeting oftheBoard
and that he did not think thai the in
tSi SSl Al liz proposition WtAA anu
such a call. This fact alone mea IS
the death Of the bill, for the commit
tee will not report it without it has
the endorsement of the County Board
of the county in which it is proposed
to establish the court, and as the
Board will not be in session until No
vember, it would be impossible to get
this endorsement. The matter has
never been laid before the Common
Council in an official manner, and it
seems that even the lawyers who
stood sponsor for the bill have lost
their interest on account Of the cool
way in which the proposition has been
received.
The men who have gone to the
trouble Of making an investig alton
state that the County Board of Racine
would be glad to get rid of the Mu-
nicipal Court and return to the old
Justice shop plan.
