Goal Of Years Hopes.

The forthcoming congress Is one for
which the American Congress Of
Mott IS has earnestly hoped many
years. IN the last ten years, since
the congress was founded by the late
Mrs. Theodore Birney, its members
have striven to better the conditions
OF the American child and to help the
American mother. Each year has
found them a little nearer to the ac-
complishments of their ideals and now
there will be delegates here from many
foreign powers to report on the condi-
tons surrounding the children of their
respective countries and TO gain the
benefit of any superior methods which
may obtain in this country.
The congress promises to be notable
for many reasons. II not only has the
hearty Endorsement Of the President
who never loses an opportunity to en-
phasize his deep interest in the welfare
Of the child, but he is actively inter
ested and has shown this in the ap-

CARNATIoN DAY
Deeds of William Mckinley to be Recalled
by Wearing His Favorite Flower

Today is T'Carnation Day." the
birthday of the late President William
Mckinley. A statement sent out by
the Carnation League, in regard to the
observance of the day, contains the fol
lowing:
'The life, character and services of
William Mckinley can not be studied
or reviewed without profit to the indi-
Vldual and the community. In his
death the nation suffered the loss of
one OF her foremost sons-the Christian
world, disciple of pure and manly
living.
"a people can not have too many
national days-days commemorative of
brave deeds, or noble lives noblv lived.
The thoughtful observance of each
tends to keeping the whole body of the
people up to the highest patriotic pitch,
and if 'Carnation Day shall add its
quota to the fostering of real national
patriotism, we may be sure that the
great soul of William Mckinley will
look down from above and Undue Car
nation Day with some of his love and
veneration for the glories of our nation
and the permanency of our institutions.
FCarnation Day was established
January 30, 1908, and has been observ
ed with great unanimity on each re-
curing anniversary

Missing Man VIII Come Back to Kenosha
Ethel May the psychic phenomenon
who is working at the Rhode Opera
House this week, last night gave ont
some information in regard to John
Gillett who has been missing from his
home for more than year past. Miss
May was asked a question as follows:
Can you give me any information in
regard to the whereabouts Of JUDGE
Billet who mysteriously disappeared
from here little over year agoq2
The young woman in answer declared
that Gillett was not dead but that she
could not give a definite statement as
to his present whereabouts. She stat
ed that Gillett was in good hands and
that he hao voluntarily left Kenosha
and that he would return in due time.
She said that his departure was en-
tirely honorable and the only thing that
he could have done under the circum-
stances.
A great many people took q great
interest in the answer to the question.
but it is not entirely satisfactory to
all concerned. 1t is probable that the
young woman will be asked to test her
psychic power further on this same
question before the end of the week.

ably twenty-five more were entombed
as the result of an explosion which oc-
Cured In the Lick Branch colliery,

located Ave more bodies and 1t was
believed that there would not be any
more corpses discovered In the mine.
Eeighteen of the entombed men
have been taken out Of the collisry

smoke, but were not injured seriously
enough to make their removal to q
hospital necessary.

charge of the work Of exploring the
mine.
