NOW FORMING COMPANY HERE
Paper is to be Straight Democratic in
Politics and it is Claimed That it
Will Have Support From State and
Congressional Organizations

Kenosha is to have another daily
newspaper and it is to be of the old
Jacksonian brand with w. T. Nc
Creight, Chicago man as its editor
and publisher. The plans for the
printing of the new paper are not as
yet fully matured, but it is said that
the plans provide for the issuance of
the new paper with the opening of the
new year.
This morning several of the promi-
nent Democrats of Kenosha received
letters from Mr.. McCreight giving his
plans in detail. The new editor plans
to form company in Kenosha city and
county with view Of publishing a
daily and weekly paper which will
support the National Democratic prin-
ciples. To this end he will seek to
secure as much support as possible
from the Democrats in Kenosha and
it is understood that he has been prom
ised financial support from both the
state and congressional organizations
of the Democracy. McCreight was in
Kenosha some time ago looking over
the field and notwithstanding the fact
that new paper has been established
in Kenosha since that time he believes
that there is good field for a straight
Democratic evening paper. McCreight
is a Democrat Of the old school and he
has given the Democrats of the city
assurance that if he publishes a paper
in Kenosha it will be a Democratic
paper from every standpoint. He has
been in charge of Democratic papers
in Texas, Illinois and other states ano
is a writer of a good deal of force.
It is understood that a meeting will
be called among some Of the Demo
Gratis of the city to consider the propo
sition and it is possible that these mer
will take hold of the proposition and
furnish some of the money necessary
Mr.. McCreight has some funds to put
into the paper and he is said to be
ready to put in the plant just as soon
as stock enough is sold to provide fol
the running expenses.
Kenosha has not had a real Demo
cratic paper since the death of the
late Frank G. Culley who was a leader
among the DePocrats of the city and
who catered especially to their demands
The proposition of selling stock for a
paper in Kenosha has not proved a
successful one in the past, but it is
possible that Mr.. McCreight will make
the plan go. The development of the
plan will be watched with interest by
Kenosha Democrats who are seeking an
organ for their political advancement
and for the advancement of the party
in this section of the state.

Former Ministers of Local NJ.
E. Church Take Important
Places in Work in State
STILL ACTIVE IN CHURCH WORK
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Former pastors of Park Avenue M
E. church now in attendance upon the
conference are an interesting set of
men.
Rev. r. W. Bosworth, Of Delavan.
is one Of the oldest ministers Of the
conference now in active service
Though he has passed the biblical three
score and ten term of life, he still con
tinues popular. His people say it is
due to his ability to preach short ser.
mons. The fruits of his effectiveness
may be seen in very material form
in the churches which he has served
The beautiful church at Beloit is q
magnifcent monument to the energy
of this veteran of the cross. Delavan
church under his ministry has i'm
proved not only in appearance out also
in effectiveness.
Rev. Sabin Halsey is leading dual
life at Oakfeld. He is the most pop
ular' pastor the little town has ever
had. The congregations that gather
to hear him twice each Sunday are
said to be the largest the church has
ever known. DR.. Halsey is also prac-
tical and successful farmer. He lives
on his farm about "a mile north Of the
village, where with pardonable pride
he will show his visitors we'll titled
fields and well fed stock.
Rev. G. E. Goldthorpe is also lead
ling a dual life at Clintonville, where
for a year he has been pastor OF the
Methodist and Congregational churches
at one and the same time. Both these
churches found their financial resourc
es so depleted by the removal of some
Of their best paying members that to
live meant a poor dying rate and
heart breaking competition. So the
churches combined. The church organ
izations are distinct, but the congre
cations, Sunday schools, prayer meet
lings were combined, using the Congre
gational church building. The year s
combination has been happy and eff
ective. DIR. Goldthorpe as a Methodist
Congregational pastor is said by his
people to be the man for the task and
opportunity.
Rev. F. A. Pease is one son who can
wear his fathers shoes. His father
Rev. P. 3. Pease was one of his son s
predecessors not only at Kenosha, but
also at Wauwatosa and in the James
vile district Mr. Pease has been pas
tor at Oshkosh in the old First church
for two years. This old church has
it's church on the main business street
and it's auditorium over two stores
Though competition among the church
es in Oshkosh is keen, and the neal
neighboring churches are modern IN
equipment and energetic in service, a
recent canvass of congregations on a
hot Sunday evening showed more PEG
pie in the upper room at First church
than in the combined congregations al
the beautiful Presbyterian, Baptist
and Congregational churches near by

MISSING SINCE SATURDAY EXAMINATIONS OCTOBER %
Son of Dead Man Together With chief
of Police O'Hare Identify Remains
in Morgue at Waukegan- Had Money
When Last Seen in Kenosha.

Etl +
The mystery surrounding the identi
ty of the man Killed by the Chicago
and Milwaukee Electric car at Tobin
Road at an early hour Sunday morn
ing was solved late Wednesday after
noon when the body Of the man was
identified at Waukegan as the remains
of Peter Hanson, a well known Pleas
ant Prairie farmer. The Identified
tion was made by a son of Hanson and
Chief of Police 0 Hare. Hanson had
been missing since last Saturday after
noon and the members Of his family
on hearing Of the killing of the man
at Tobin Road were fearful that the
unknown man was Hanson, but they
did not report their fears to the police
until Wednesday and the chief and
the son Of the dead man at once went
to Waukegan.
Hanson was widely known among
the Danish residents Of the county
He came to Kenosha on Saturday af
ternoon and was last seen by his two
sons at the Robsel saloon at the limits
of the city early in the afternoon
The boys had attempted to get their
father to go home with them, but he
had protested and declared that he
wanted to go down town before re
turning to Pleasant Prairie 1t is
thought that, he started to walk home
and lost his way and finally wandered
in front Of the electric car by which
he was cut to pieces.
At the time the two boys left their
father they claim that he had some
thing like. fourteen dollars in his
pockets, but when his mangled form
was picked up on the tracks Of the
railway he had nothing in his pockets
While there is a probability that Han
son was robbed the members of the
family do not seem to take this view
of the matter and they seem to think
that Hanson lost his money somewhere
on his way between Kenosha and the
place where he met his death. At the
inquest over the remains which was
held in Waukegan the motorman in
charge of the car testified that Hanson
walked directly in front of the car
The coroner's jury returned a verdict
of accidental death.
Hanson was fifty years of age and a
native of Denmark, but he came tc
this country many years ago and had
resided in Pleasant Prairie for nearly
twenty years. He is survived by q
widow and eleven children all living
at the home in Pleasant Prairie. The
members Of the family were prostrat
ed by the discovery Of the body of the
husband and father in Waukegan, but
the discovery brought to an end many
nights of anxiety.
Notwithstanding the fact that it is
thought that the death of Hanson was
entirely accidental the fact that his
money was missing has caused the 20
lice to make rigid examination into
the case The witnesses who appear
ed at the inquest will be closely ques
toned by the officials in hopes thai
they will be able. to give some further
evidence in the case.

Wheatland.
Anton Elverman, chairman. ......

The Council decided to borrow
$4,000 for the use of the Board of
Education which viii enable the
Board to keep the work on the new
Columbus school going until the bonds
are sold to pay for the building. So
far as the tax payers are concerned it
makes not the slightest difference
which body borrows the money. In
the end they are going to pay the in
terest charges whether they are paid
in the name of the Council or the
School Board and these interest charges
in this case are small matter IN COM
parison with the Importance OF keep
ing the work on the new school NOV
ing. All there is behind the action
of the Council in this matter is that
the Board has no legal right to borrow
money and the Council has and the
bank making the loan naturally want
ed protect itself by lending the Coun-
ell. The Council can get little
practice negotiating this loan for the
Board that will be useful when it
comes to borrowing for It's own ac-
count.
