CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
St. Johns Lutheran Church One Hun
dred Years Old-Program for
November "a.

St. Johns 5 Lutheran church Oh
Broad river, near Hope Station Oh
Southern railway will celebrate its
centennial on November "A. This Is
one Of the old congregations in the
Dutch Fork. The church is on the
Lexington side but very near the New
berry line.
The congregation has been served
by many pastors who lived in New
berry and were we'll known to our
people.
The pulpit in the old days was
elevated and above the pulpit was
the sounding board.' This has all
been removed to keep pace with what
is called modern progress and civiliza-
ton. The "sounding board' from
this church has been placed in the
museum of Newberry college as d
curiosity.
It was a mistake to try to modern
ize these old churches by taking down,
the quaint old pulpits and sounding
boards.
But the members felt they had to
keep up with the progress as we have
said Of civilization and down came
the old pulpits and sounding
boards and in their place was put
up the modern reading desk and plat
form so that the person Of the preach
er is not hid behind the high box of
the old church and above which you
could only see the head and shoulders
Of the speaker.
But St. John s is going to celebrate
its centennial on the 24th and here
is the program. The pastor Of thE
church is the Rev. E. J. Sox:

representative of Italian Government
Praises Output of American

WAUSAU, Wis, Nov. 90 Special
Sig Josephus Miguel y'Nefredo, an
cmissary of the Italian government, is
making an inspection Of the Wausau
taunery of the United States Leather
company with a view to getting data and
statistics on the American method and
means of tanning for the foreign de-
partmcnt of his government. Sig. Ne
fredo informed local tanncry men that
American methods Of tanning surpassed
any in the world, for producing a heavy,
long wearing leather Of the highest quail
ity for betting and other similar pur-
noses He said American methods diff
fpred materially from old country meth
DDS. partly because Of the variety and
abundance Of fannie agents, and greater
familiarity with their values and uses.
Tie Wausau tanucry was the eighteenth
one he had visited in the United States,
and. though he said it was almost the
smallest plant he had visited, its product
was second to none in the United States,
even that from the big eastern tannerleS.

He encountered some difficulty in max

but he was able TO get great many per-
tinent facts concerning the tanning IN

DOCTORS HIDE A LEPER
IMMIGRANT WITH ANCIENT DIS
EASE SAID TO BE HERE.
Physicians Study Symptoms and Try to
Find Medicine That May Cure

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. 23.-19OS.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. 23.-190S.
A case of leprosy has been discovered
in Milwaukee.
Guarded by members of the medical
profession, an immigrant, bearing every
symptom of the dread disease. is kept i'll
quarantine in Milwaukee that the physi-
clans may study the disease, its ravages
on the human system, and possibly dis
cover "A cure. The physicians refuse to
divulge the hiding place Of the victim,
and declare the city is safe, and that
no one will be exposed to the leper.
Though every effort To keep the case
a secret was made. the report of the case
le ked out today III an unexpected quar-
ter. Then the physicians refused further
Information. fearing the lcper might be
deported, and rob them of the uppor-
tunlty for medical research and study
into one of the most battling of diseases,
with a human victim as the material.
According to the report, the victim OF
leprOsy came to this country Il short
time ago. Then it was discovered he
was Il leper. 1t is not known whether
he had the affection when he came to the
Inited States, or Milwaukee, or con
tracted it i'll this country, or perhaps III
the city.
Interested in the study of the disease
is Il prominent Milwaukee druggist, who
has Il penchaut for the study of medicine,
and who was admitted by the physicians
that the drugs necessary in the fight of
the atiiiction might be secured without

VILLAGE HAS BIG FIRE.
Red Granite Suffers Loss of $4,000 IN
Business District-Had Little
Protection.

BERLIN, Wis, Nov. 21.-[ SpeciaLl -
The village of Red Granite, ten miles
cast of Wautoma, was partially wiped
out by fire last night and it is estimated
that the loss will be over $4,000.
The blaze originated in Rogers meat
market, and before the flames were ex-
tjngrishcd the following business houses
were destroyed: Rogers meat market,
Chairnsou's store, NigbOr's opera house,
scouts restaurant. v. Elkins' market,
Rcrray's restaurant, The Herald Office,
the new telephone exchange. Mrs. Der
ricLs millinery store and Clawson's drug
stOrQ.
An of the stores destroyed were frame
buildings which made the insurance
rates exceptionally high. Consequently
little insurance was carried.
Nothing was saved in that section of
the business district which was burned.
The fire protection in the village is poor,
and the occupants of some of the places
barely escaped with their lives
The village of Red Granite is about
ten years old and is on the new Grand
RAPIDS branch Of the Chicago X North
Western road. Granite quarrying and
dealing in farm produce are the princi-
pal lines Of business.

CHEESE IN 200 VARIETIES.
Experts in Department of Agriculture
Make List of Kinds.

Experts at the department Of agricul-
lure have been at work again and the re-
suit is an interesting, if somewhat tech
meal dissertation on cheeses, how they
are made what they are made of, and
all the details connected with the bust
ness. says the Omaha Bee. The experts
announce. in an Introductory note, that
there are 90 known varieties sf cheese
and that no two Of these are at all alike
except that they have milk in some form
as the basis Milk is the foundation
of all cheese. but the superstruCture may
be made of anything from sage to soap
stone. depending upon the whim of the
cheese builder and the taste of the CON
Sumer.
Cheese making is one of the Oldest
arts, or trades. or habits. under which
ever classification. 1t was an article of
diet back in the hazy times Of history
and has never lost out with changing
fashions. 1t is found in the plains of
South America. on the shores of the
Mediterranean. in the passes of the Alps.
on the banks of the Rhine, and the
Rhone, or the steppes of Siberia. in the
cottages Of the peasants. in the palaces
of princes, and on lunch counters of
the civilized and semi-civilized world.
Age does not wither nor custom stale
the infinite variety of cheese. There
are cheeses in existence and growing
stronger every day that are older than
any existing government. One partic-
ular cheese is mentioned as being over
200 years old and rejecting great credit
on the family that possesses it. Over
in Switzerland they have pleasant Gus
tom of making a cheese at the birth of
Il child and eating it at his funeral feast
or at the funeral of his son or grandson.
