AN ATTACK ON CHRISTIANITY
DOOMS OLD TOMBSTONES IN
WISCONSIN CEMETERY.
Monuments Will Be Raced After
Nearly Half Century and
Buried Secretly.

Buried Secretly.
KENOSHA, Wis.-No longer will
the christian religion be held up to
ridicule in the Kenosha cemetery.
According to an agreement en-
tered into today by relatives of the
late Lewis Knapp, who live in Chi
cago, and Charles H. Gonnermann,
president of the cemetery associa-
ton, the monuments erected by
Knapp, which bore inscriptions ex-
pressing his hatred of the christian
religion and the priesthood, will be
RACED. 1t was further decided to
break the monuments into small bits
and bury them in some secret place
where they never again will be seen.
For nearly half century these
monuments have been an eye-sore to
the Christian people of Kenosha and
source of curiosity for the casual
visitor There are eight of the
shafts, and the inscriptions, if print
ed, would make book of considera-
BILE size, it being estimated that at
least 10000 words are engraved on
the stones.
Knapp spent many years having
the monuments prepared. The first
one was erected during the civil war,
and others were added as different
members of the Knapp family died.
Not all of them bore the same ha-
tired for the christian religion as did

SAY CLOCKS DISTURB WORSHIP.

Ohio Methodist Clergymen Have
Them Removed From Churches.
The dispatches last week told of
certain Ohio Methodist clergymen
who had ordered the clocks taken
out of their churches on the ground
that the clocks disturbed the preach
ers and made them cut short their
sermons. Possibly these preachers
never heard of the theological col
lege president who warned his grad
uating class that ''the Holy Ghost
always refuses to work after the first

KILLED DEER IN COTTON PATCH.
The Unusual Feat of Negro Tenant
in DOugherty County.

1t is not thing of unusually rare
occurrence for deer to be killed in
this section of the country, for they
are to be found in considerable num-
bers in the big swamps. But to kill
one in cotton patch is something
quite out of the ordinary.
Hiram Nichols, a negro tenant on
Judge Sam Smiths place, last Satur-
day did that very thing, and yester-
day brought to town the carcass of
a fine young buck, which weighed
106 pounds. He says he killed the
buck in his cotton patch, a shotgun
being the weapon used.
The deer killed by the negro no
doubt came out of Coolawahee
swamp, where drives made by local
sportsmen have often been quite sue
cessful. Herald.

Facts Will Be Tabulated.
Thus, all the people in the United
states in the year 1910 will he rem.
resented in the census bureau hv on
Qua millions of cards-one card for
Iacn man, woman, or child. The
olsseSt job, however, is to put to-
selher the facts on the cards, so
as TO make tables of figures, telling
now many persons there are of each
age now many are white, black,
OF OF mixed blood; how many car
penters, undertakers and trained
nurses there are: how many can
read and write, and so on, even to
the tabulation of these and hun
dreds of other matters in every
township and city.
10 do all this by hand would he
a. vastly expensive and almost in
termlnable job. But the machines
aCtend to 1T automatically, and with
an expedition that is nothing short
OF marvellous. All that is required
is 10 feed the cards into them, and
they do the rest, working out the
problem and giving the results with
out possibility of error.
Some of the tabulators have add
ing machines attached to them to
prepare statistics of agriculture and
certain other arrangements of fig
ures international. Another novel
device is an automatic sorter, which
separates the cards into classes. cleo
tromagnets controlling their passage
through series of chutes. Indeed.
all OF the mechanism from beginning
to end depends upon electricity, the
current being made and broken by
little metal rods which pass through
the holes in the cards.
$4,000 Enumerators.
The enumerators employed to
gather the facts for the census of
1910 from all parts of the country
Will number $4,000, and all of them
Will be men-save perhaps, a few,
VINO, Tor some special and particular
reason will be of the gentler sex.
Some women did this kind of work
for the last census very efficiently,
but ordinarily it is too rough, not
infrequently involving quite a little
hardship of one kind or another.
The business of putting the facts to-
gether, however, after they have
been collected, will be intrusted
mainly to women, the great majority
! of them young.
| The census bureau is now per,
manent establishment in Washing
ton. 1t is kept running, with a com
paratively small force of clerks, all
the time-whereas it used to go out
OF existence after each enumeration
of the population was accomplished,
springing up anew and suddenly
every 10 years, like a gigantic mush-
room. Now there is a skeleton or
ganization, so to speak, and this is
readily expanded, when the occasion
arises, into huge and effective ma
, chine for the gathering of facts.
Such an expansion is now beginning
to take place, and within a short
time the machine will be in full OPP

FATALITY AMONG BISHOPS.
Death Is Thinning the Ranks of the
Methodist Episcopacy.

Death Is Thinning the Ranks of the
Methodist Episcopacy.
The recent death of Bishop Seth
Ward in Japan added another to the
already long list of bishops of the
Southern Methodist church death has
claimed in the past two or three
years
The ranks of the episcopacy have
been so depleted within the past few
years that there are not now enough
active bishops to attend to the work
of the church. Bishop Ward was
elected by the general conference of
1906, with Bishops Tigert and At
kins. Since that time Bishop Tigert
has died violent death, in 1906;
Bishop Coke Smith of consumption
the same year; Bishop w. w. Dun
can of nervous collapse in 1907, and
the princely Bishop Galloway in May
of this year of pneumonia.
Other Bishops Ill.
OF the living members of the epis-
copal college Bishop Wilson, the SEN
Tor, is very feeble, and a few weeks
ago was thought to be on his death
! bed.
Bishop Hoss, the great leader of
southern Methodism, underwent a
serious operation, and his health has
been tardy in returning, he having
been incapacitated for six months or
more.
Bishop Key of Texas is old, being
past so, and will likely be superan-
nuated at the next general confer
ence, and Bishop Fitzgerald has been
on the pension list since 1902.
