Bishop HOrstmann's casket will be
placed directly above that of Rt. Rev.
Amadeus L, Rape, the first bishop of
Cleveland.
Fifteen thousand school children
from the different parishes Of the city
passed before the body Monday.
St. Johns cathedral Monday was a
place Of mourning. The half-light
from the stained windows was sub
dued by heavy draperies of black and
purple.
Only the steady glow of the tapers,
showing their white light on the peacv-
full features of the beloved bishop and
the lighted cross above the altar
broke the gloom.
The open casKet lay under a purple
canopy in the sanctuary before the
main altar. The body was wrapped in
rich embroidered robe of purple
satin. Uniformed knights of st. John
stood guard. Past the bier men, wo-
men and children trod softly, looked
lingeringly on the stilled countenance
and stayed to pray.
Never once through the night had
there been a break in that process
sion of bowed heads. 1t is estimated
that more than 100000 people visited
the cathedral.
The body of the bishop was borne
from the episcopal residence to St.
Johns cathedral Sunday afternoon.
White-surpliced priests carried the
simple black casket through the ranks
Of 10000 Catholics, come to honor
the memory of the bishop.
Father T. F. Fahey, pastor of the
cathedral walked before the casket
Father James O'Leary, Father w. s..
Kress, Father Casinler Reichlin Faith.

MORE GOLD IS
FOUND At NILES

Niles, o., May 1S.-Henry G.. Cur
tbs. an expert miner of Chicago, ILL.,,
who visited the Holzbach farm at
Salt Springs, yesterday and today, dis
covered more gold in stream SO feet
below where Mr.. Holzbach made his
first discovery on May 7.
HolzbaCh has taken out several
quarts of the gravel, which is rich
with the metal, and is now superin-
tending a gang Of workmen who are
digging daily.
The veins so far are very small, but
they get larger and larger according
to depth.
Assayers declare the gold Is of good
value, but are inclined to believe that
there is not enough metal to make it
worth while to have it worked out,
while on the other hand men who
claim to he expert miners say the
land is fully one-tenth rich with gold
metal.
Many of the older settlers, among
them James Draa and Roger Dough-
erty, tell how they used to buy lead
and gold articles from the Indians,
who held this farm as their reserva-
tion, but it never occurred to them
where the Indians got hold of their
goods.
On this property four springs of
different varieies of water bubble out
of the ground. The famous salt spring
from which the place derives it's
name, the sulphur spring, the mag
nesia spring and the pure water
spring. These are within 80 feet of
each other.

Chicago, May 1S.-A movement to
establish a Socialist republic II Aus
tria-Hungary Immediately after the
death of Emperor Franz Josef has
been started here by the Austria
Hungarian league simultaneously with
the announcement that that organiza.
tiOn has allied itself with the Social
ist National party.
The revolution is being organized
by the 2600 members of the league in
Chicago who are in direct communi-
cation with the revolutionary leaders
in Austria. The influence of the
Socialist party will be drawn to over
turn the dynasty. Leaders declare the
feeling in Austria is strongly in favor
of republic.
Secretary NJ. H. Barnes, of the So
cialist party says revolutionary
leagues in this country representing
5000 persons have afiliated them
selves with the Socialist movement.
These include the Iettish societies,
the Slavonic league and the Italian
Federation of America.
The national propaganda committee
declares many universities are teem-
ing with SOcialistic students.

PRETTY MAIDEN
CAUSE OF BATTLE

Chillicothe, o., May 18.-NatiVes of
the wilds along Stony Creek in the
hills of southern Ross county had a
terrific battle Sunday for over an
hour over possession of Mabel Bond,
eighteen, school teacher.
She had been boarding at the home
of Deg Winchell. The girls family
wanted her to return home, but she
refused. Sunday her mother, two
brothers and sister, went to VIM
chelPs home with ropes 10 get the
girl. A terrific fight ensued, partici-
pated in by women and men. Win
chell was struck with brick and his
scalp torn off. The invading party
secured the girl, tied her up and car
ried her home.

were represented at the services.


Monday by 8 a. m. hundreds were
in the cathedral. Everywhere people
were kneeling with heads turned to-
ward those burning tapers, while a
slow procession moved up and down
the aisles. Policemen stood in front
to direct them.
In the center of the great nave 1FG
little boys were kneeling. Finally led
by a priest they marched two and two
past the casket.
People of every condition were in
that sorrowing procession. Old men
and women looking white and feeble
passed with twitGhing lips. Men and
women from the Offices and factories
were there. Now and then one drew
his sleeve quickly across his eyes and
hurried on. Many came in automo-
biles and carriages. All mingled to-
gether, held by a common feeling.
On the faces of all the same ex-
preston was stamped-sorrow at the
loss of a friend who had come very
near to them.

ASK MANY REFORMS
The Registers Of Deeds Of Thirty.
seven Wisconsin Counties
Form an Organization
COUNTY OFFICERS MAY UNITE

Registers of deeds from thirty-seven
counties in Wisconsin met in the Kirby
house in Milwaukee Wednesday after
noon and formed permanent organi
cation to take action for needed
changes in one conduct Of their Offices.
Sixty-two of the seventy-two registers
of deeds in the state have signifed
their willingness to become members
of the organization.
"The need of a state organizati on
has been recognized for some time, y
said Register Of Deeds Charles G.
Mass of Milwaukee. "E. D. Gaineau,
register of deeds of Marinette county,
worked out plans for state meeting
and called it.
Gone of the chief objects of the
organization is the repeal of the law
requiring that vital statistics shall be
kept by the state health commission
in Madison, instead Of in the archives
of each county.
"With the formation of this organi-
cation the registers Of deeds get into
line with the sheriffs, county clerks,
and other county officers who have
permanently organized. In the near
future there undoubtedly will be a
movement to combine all these organi-
cations of county officers into one
great body. This will be of great
value to the counties, as well as to
members, as it will help in making
forms and practices uniform.
Officers elected are: President, E. D.
Galineau, Marinette; vice president, E.
I. Markell, Fond du Lac; secretary and
treasurer, B. J. zuehlke, Appleton; ex-
ecutive committee, E. D. Galineau, E.
t. Markell, i. j. Zuehlke, P. G. Torrey
and f. III. Aiken.

KeOosha County will Receive
More Than $4,000 From
State School Funds
AID FOR RURAL DISTRICTS
Schools Installing Special Heating and
Ventilating Plants Will Receive
$50 Extra For Three Years
-Kenosha Pays More

County Clerk Russell H. Jones this
morning received from State Superin-
tendent of schools G. P. Cary of Madi
son the annual apportionment of the
schools fund for Kenosha county and
this county will receive 500, 668.36. The
amount Of state school tax apportioned
from the taxes collected in this county
for 1907 was 20,831.92 so that the
county will get back little less than
paid in. The apportionment is made at
the rate Of $2.276 for each child Of
school age. The total amount of the
fund apportioned among the different
counties Of the state is $1,764,544.28.
This does not include the apportion-
ment that has heretofore been made TIC
the graded and high school districts
amounting to about $235,000 or those
yet to be made to certain district
schools for installing certain heating
and ventilating systems as recommend
ed by the state department Of educa-
ton. Under law passed by the legis-
lature several years ago rural school
districts are entitled to claim $50 a
year extra for three years providing
they install certain improved heating
and yentilating systems. Several of
these systems have been installed in
the schools in the rural districts of this
county and these districts will receive
the added amount under the law. This
aid has not yet been full appcrtioned,
but already 1908 districts in the state
have availed themselves of the law.
The money for this purpose is deducted
from the regular school fund before
the annual apportionment is made.
The common school income is derived
from tax of seven tenths of mill on
all the taxable property of the state.
interest on loans from the permanent
state school funds, and receipts of
money derived from the sale Of state
school lands and from nnes in criminal
cases.
For several years Kenosha paid ia
the state large amount more than the
amount given to it in the apportion-
ment, but in recent years the amount
taken from the county and the amount
apportioned by the state have beer
very close to the same figure.

Politicians in This County Deter.
mined TO Get q Part Of the
Patronage Of the State
SEEKING ALL SORTS OF JOBS
MO Less Than Dozen Minor Politi
clans From This County Will
Ask for Places Under the
Coming Legislature

Minor politicians In Kenosha county
or at least some of the men who think
they are politicians, are planning to
storm the state capitol at Madison be-
tween now and the opening of the
next legislature with a view Of get
ting Kenosha county on the pay roll
of the state. Since e. G. Timme, then
secretary of state gave up his key to
the Office, more than a decade ago, Ke-
nosha county has not been able to get
man into the state house and less
than half a dozen men from this
county have been able to get on the
state pay roll in any capacity. Ke-
nosha county seems to have been en-
tirely forgotten in the passing out of
the Offices and it is evident that the
politicians in The lead feel convinced
that the county is so strongly RepubI-
can that it is unnecessary to hand out
any plums here in order to keep the
voters in line This year there may
be a revolt and no less than dozen
young men and old from this county
have filed applications for places in
the coming session Of the legislature.
Some of these men are depending on
a political pull to land them with their
feet under the pie counter while others
are planning to take their chances
with the rest by taking the civil serv-
ice examination the latter part Of the
month and depend on their high grad
ing to give them a place when the
jobs are passed out after the sitting
Of the legislature.
Boys have come in from the farm to
file applications for places and already
a half a dozen Kenosha people have
written papers in an effort to get on
the pay roll These people are seek
ing every place that is to be handed
out from the position of postmaster in
the senate to that of police officer on
the grounds of the state house. Tt is
said that Kenosha county is sending
in more applications Tor places in the
legislature than any county in the
state with the exception of Dane and
Milwaukee counties. There is some
thing over two hundred minor Offices
to be handed out by the legislature and
the great majority of the jobs will be
under the civil service.
In the last legislature there were
two employees from Kenosha county
One of them was Ward Bloss who was
one of che assistant sergeants at arms
while the other was M. Pooch who had
a POSITION as stenographer. This
year Kenosha people have already
taken examinations for positions as
stenographer, proof reader, messenger
page, police officer and several other
places. The announcement of the ap
pointments will not be made until af
ter the organization of the Legislature
and committee named by the speaker
viii probably have charge Of the selec
ton.

WORK ON NEW ORDINANCE
Side Walk Ordinance to Provide Walks
in all Parts in the City

Sidewalk Inspector Edward Tanning
has started work on a new sidewalk
ordinance which is to be presented to
the City Council for passage early in
next year and this Will insure another
great year of sidewalk building in I<e-
nosha. The ordinance passed during
the early months of this year provided
for the building of 566 walks and it is
stated that the ordinance for next year
will demand almost as many walks.
Four ffths of the walks ordered in the
last ordinance are in now and the
others will be ordered in just as soon
as the men can resume work at build
ing walks. The new ordinance will
cover a vast amount of territory in the
western part of the city as the people
there are demanding the building of
the walks at this time. The walks
ordered under the new ordinance must
go in during the summer of 1909.

CALL FOR RECRUITS
Commander, in.C Chief 0fthe Grand
Army Would Put Bronze But
ton on Every Soldier
ONLY HALF IN ORGANIZATIONS

A strong and concerted effort is be-
ing made to bring into the honored
ranks of the Grand Army of the Repub.
lie every man of the 390,438 soldiers,
sailors and mariners who do not as yet
belong to any of it's numerous posts.
To that end clarion call has been
sounded by Henry M. Nevins, com
mander in chief of the G. A. R., copies
of which have been received by the
Fred S. Lowell post. In it he gives an
array of facts and figures which are
brimful of general interest Among
other things he says:
con the 31st day of December, 1907,
the reports show that there were 1885,
157 comrades in good standing upon
. our rolls, and 13,431 comrades stand
ing suspended.
The last report Of the commission
er of pensions, dated June 80, 1908,
shows that there were 620,985 soldiers,
sailors and marines of the civil war
upon the pension list drawing PEN
sions and at tie same date there were
1000 original claims pending, making
Ia total of 628,O84 surviving soldiers,
sailors and marines of the late civil
war, both in the Grand Army and out
side of it.
The number of comrades in the
Grand Army Of the Republic in good
standing December 81, 1907, 225, 15T
plus the 13,489 standing suspended,
equals $685. These figures show
that there was on the 30th day of
June, 1908, 390,438 soldiers, sailors
and marines on the pension rolls draw
ing pensions under laws which exist
by the untiring energy, perseverance
and labor of the pension committee of
the Grand Army of the Republic at it's
expense.
''These, figures are appalling but
nevertheless true The question now
arises, Why is this so? Do comrades,
who have received the benefit Of wise
and humane laws, urged by comrades
of the Grand Army Of the Republic,
now think that, having obtained all
that can be had from the organization,
they will drop out, or are there other
reasons?
"Are there internal influences at.
work within the Grand Army of the
Republic which have caused this large
list of suspensions? Have the COM
rades, standing outside, been ap-
preached in the proper spirit and urged
and invited to join the order9
Comrades, there should be a rally
ing. These men must be reached. APP
peal to their honor, to their manhood.
Appeal to them as soldiers, bound to-
gether by ties stronger than the ties
of blood, welded in the heat of battle
lin the furnace of war.
Let every comrade resolve that
during the coming year he will bring
in one or more of our comrades who
are now outside our noble order. :"
