The following story may be old.
Most good stories are old, l find, yet
they may be new to somebody. A New
York contractor of, my acquaintance
was once bidding on 81 jail in an up
state county. There were strong sus-
picions of a job and of a secret under
standing with another contractor, who.
it was believed. had promised to "div-
W. with certain members Of the
board. At any rate, the New York
man was looking for a chance to rub.
it in on those that had concocted the.
deal, which came in an unexpected
way. Each bidder was required to
make a deposit with the board, and,
the New York man put up his in cash.
After the matter was settled the un-
successful bidders were called in, and
their money was returned. The New
York man went over to the window
and counted his carefully. He came:
back. with a long face. Gentlemen.
there is some mistake here" he said.
The members Of the board were sur
prised ard indignant. "Do You accuse
us Of taking your money! angrily
cried the secretary. I'VE counted that
money all over carefully" said the
chairman, land. are sure 1t is right"
'4That ia Just It," snid the New York
man. THE money is all here. That
Is what made me think there was some
mistake."

The specter That We Call Death

What does the Spirit say
OF the specter that we call Death?
"'Tis only the stealing away
OF a heavenly breath,
II the ashen hue Upon cheeks and lips
Is not from the Sun of Life's eclipse,
But rather falls from the dawning gray
OF a better. a sweeter. a gladder day.
Nor is death the Ogre, repulstye, cold.
That We have been told,
But an angel OF God that comes to us,
Whose face with compassion is luminous,
A lover bold.
With kisses warm.
Who wooes the soul In her starry form
From the dream of sense
In which she was held, e.
And he bears her hence,
Her sleep dispelled,
Till, broad awake,
She with sweet surprise
Sees the new dawn break
With immortal eyes"
1t is thus that the Spirit saith .
OF the specter that we call Death:
Death is the angel that opes the portal
Unto a higher way.
Life is eternal; man Is immortal,
Rising victorious.
Radiant. glorious.
Out OF the clay,
Out of the bounds OF time.
Into the realms sublime.
Into a golden cline.
Into the day."

FIND STOLEN HORSE
Horse Stolen From Richmond,
illinois, Month Ago Is
Found in kenosha
THE HORSE THIEF ESCAPED

Thomas F. Williams, the well known
liveryman of Richmond, ILL.,, has found
another horse stolen from him IN Ke-
nosha. He located it at the Mungen
barns this morning. The horse was
brought to Kenosha on the afternoon
of Feb. 22nd and sold to the proprietor
of the Kenosha stables for $40. It
had been leased from the Richmond
barns on the morning of the same day
by a man giving his name as Fitz-
gerald and claiming to be employed as
a surveyor by a Chicago construction
company which had been making sur
vey for railway in the neighborhood
of Richmond. Williams paid no atten-
ton to the fact THAI the horse was not
returned on the day that Fitzgerald
took it as he was accustomed to send
horses out with the representatives of
the Chicago company and at times they
would use them for three or four days
without making any report to the
barns. The fourth day Williams called
up the Chicago Office of the company
only to find that Fitzgerald was not in
the employe of the company and then
he started a search for both Fitzgerald
ana the horse. He learned from the
company that several other charges had
been made against the man and finally
got all of these charges together and
laid them before the district attorney
of the county.
A few days ago one of the friends of
Williams noticed the horse in Kenosha.
Mungen had bought the horse and the
man who drove him into Kenosha had
taken check made out in the name Of
Frank Mohr. He did not sell the buggy
and harness to Mungen claiming that
he would call for this later He has
not been seen in Kenosha since the day
the horse was left at the barn. Williams
was in Kenosha today making arrange
ments to have the horse taken back to
Richmond. just year ago a horse
was stolen from Williams and it was
found in the same barn in Kenosha. At
that time no effort had been made to
sell the horse and there was no evil
dence by which the man who left him
there could be arrested.

party leader. The rapid advancement
of the young Brighton man will be q
matter of great interest to his friends

HIGH PRICES FOR CABBAGE
henosha County Farmers Realize on
Stock Stored During Winter

What is thought to be the last con
signment of southern Wisconsin cab
bage, was shipped to Chicago by Wal
ter Jones and NJ. H. Herzog of Mt
Pleasant. The product had been stored
during the winter and came from the
storehouse in prime condition.
The crop last season was almost an
entire failure, many farmers harvest
ing but quarter of normal yield. The
prices were very good, but many farm
ers realizing that the market was sure
to advance, placed their entire harvests
in the storehouse.
Those who were able to keep the cab
bage in good condition through the
winter sold at almost fabulous prices
this spring, some getting as high as sou
per ton.
Last years failure has somewhat
discouraged the farmers and it is said
that the acreage this season will be far
less than that of last year. Many
farmers who have heretofore raised cab
bage are now turning their attention to
sugar beet growing.

Rev. Dimmock Springs Surprise
on Members of the Baptist
Church or Wednesday
NO CAUSE FOR ACTION GIVEN
Resignation of Pastor is Sent to the
Board Of Trustees without Com
ment but no Action is Taken
in Regard to It

Church circles in Kenosha had com
plete surprise this morning when an
nouncement was made that the Rev. S.
F. Dimmock, the popular pastor of the
First Baptist church, had sent his resig-
nation to the trustees of the church at
the regular meeting held at the church
on Wednesday evening. In his note to
the trustees Mr.. Dimmock gave no rea-
sons for giving up his place as pastor,
but simply stated that his passionate
would end at the end of his year which
will be on June 18th. The resignation
came as such a complete surprise to
even the members Of the Board of
Trustees that no action was taken on
it. Under the rules Of the Baptist
church it is necessary for a pastor to
give the congregation sixty days notice
of his retirement and this is the step
taken by Mr.. Dimmock.
Mr.. Dimmock came to the church as
pastor early in June of last year and
he succeeded the Rev. Harvey Dee
Brown, who resigned his pastorate in
order to enter actively into the work
Of preaching Socialism. The relations
between the new pastor and the mem
bers Of the church have been of
the most satisfactory nature and for
this reason the resignation was the
more of a surprise.
DR.. HI. J. Stalker, the chairman of
the trustees Of the church when seen
today said, "Mr Dimmock handed me
his card on last Sunday evening with
out comment and [ presented it to the
Board Of Trustees Wednesday evening
in keeping with his suggestion. I have
not talked with him in regard to the
matter and [ do not know anything
in regard to his reasons for resigning
or his plans for the r1ture. The trus-
tees have as yet taken no action on
the NATTER
Mr.. Dimmock when seen stated that
he preferred not to discuss the matter
but intimated that the most friendly
relations prevailed between him and
the members of the church.
Mr. Dimmock has made an excellent
pastor during MS short stay in Kenosha
and it is certain that an effort will be
made to have him reconsider his deci-
sion to retire from the pastorate. So
far as can be learned Mr.. Dimmock has
not made any plans for the future and
has not accepted a call to any other
church.

CHARLES D. DANA DEAD
Well Known Pioneer Resident of Ke-
nosha Died in Chicago Thursday

pard, Harry Clark and Henry Lines

nected with the business interests of
Chicago. He is survived by his widow

NEW Law HELPS
State Department Satisfied With State
Bakery Inspection

Labor Commissioner J. D. Beck, in
his report on the bakers license law,
shows that the law has been great
benefit in compelling sanitary condi-
tions in bakeries and in several other
ways. G. J. Kremer, in his investiga-
ton Of the conditions in bakeries,
shows that during the year $50 bakers
applied for licenses and that of this
number $50 did not come under the
provisions Of the laws and so did not
need licenses.
The prosecutions for violation of the
bakery law amounted to about thirty
for the year 1907 and convictions were
secured in every case. During this
same period nearly 1000 orders were
issued. These meant the entire re-
modelling of nineteen establishments,
the abandonment Of twenty and a great
improvement in furniture and utensils,
besides general overhauling of vast
majority of the bakeries of the state
The report also speaks highly of the
work done by the first bakers institute
in the country, which was held under
the auspices Of the extension depart
ment Of the state university.

TO INCREASE FORCE
New Clerk To Be Added to Force
at Kenosha Post Office the
First Of Next Month
THREE CARRIERS CONE LATER

Following the steady progress in the
business of the Kenosha post office the
post office department is showing a will
lngness to make further appropriate on
for the work of the office and on the
first Of next month the force of clerks
in the office will be increased to ten
while in the next two months it is
planned to add three new carriers to
the carriers force. The new clerk will
be Robert N. Lauer, who has in past
years served very acceptably as rural
carrier Lauer is now at work in the
office familiarizing himself with the
work and he will 60 on the pay roll as
clerk the first day of April. He will
be started in the mailing department of
the office.
During the past few days Postmaster
Maloney has been making the rounds
OF the city with view Of laying out
new carrier districts and there is an
unusually large amount of new terri
tory to be taken into the district. The
districts have not been changed for some
time and when the change is made prob
ably next month, it is planned to include
as much as possible Of the new terri
tory. The service in the resident dis
tricts of the city will be greatly i'm
proved by the addition Of the new car
riers as with the present force the car
rlers sometimes find it hard matter
for them to make their routes in the
time given by the rules Of the office.
The department at Washington has
shown a willingness to be liberal to the
kenosha office now that it has been
made a. first class office and there is no
doubt but that Postmaster Maloney
will use his best efforts to have the re-
forms suggested carried out.

PUMP CONTRACT LET
Board Awards Contract for Pump
to the Fred M. Prescott
Company of Milwaukee
TO BE INSTALLED IN 80 DAYS
(From Thursdays Daily

The long contest over the purchase
Of a pump to be installed at the plant
of the Kenosha Water Company was
ended just before noon today when the
members Of the Board of Water Com
missioners let the contract to the Fred
M. Prescott Steam Pump Company of
Milwaukee. The pump selected is a
Fred M. Prescott cross compound, CON
densing, corliss, water works, high duty
pumping engine and is manufactured in
Milwaukee. It is to be installed in the
plant in Kenosha. within ninety days
and the contract price is $18,880.
The pump is the one that has been
closely investigated by the members of
the Board and the Board has gone to
several cities to watch the operation
Of it and they are satisfied that it is
just the pump demanded for the Ke-
nosha plant. 1t is claimed that the
bid of the Prescott company was in
fact lower than any other bid pre-
sented to the Board as the bid provides
for a. great deal of work in connection
with the remodeling of the plant that
was not included in the bid of the
Allis Chalmers company which appeared
as the low bid when the bids were
opened.
Under the contract the work of in
stalling the pump will be started at once
and it is expected that it will be ready
for use within three months. 1t will
have a capacity of 100000 gallons
daily and it is thought that it will take
care of the demands Of the water com
pany for at least ten years.

DOWIEITE A SUICIDE
Man Who Invested Money in Zion Sc
curities Commits Suicide in N. Y.

Despondent because he had lost
$4,000, his life savings, in investments
in Zion City industries, Ludwig August
Il years Of age, committed suicide by
hanging himself in his room on Second
avenue, New York City Thursday. He
became a follower Of Dowie at the
famous meetings in Madison Square
garden several years ago.
In this world,' wrote August, in
his little room in the boarding house
at 80 Second avenue, "there is little
to expect
After which he rugged a rope to a
ventilation pipe running along the
ceiling and hanged himself. He had
no relatives.
Papers found in his room showed
that he took part in the Ill starred raid
of Macmillan upon Mexico.
In thirty years of unremitting toll
he managed to save $4,000. In time
he was converted to Dowieism and in
vested his $4,000 in the Zion bank and
other industries conducted by Dowie
at Zion City. All these enterprises
failed after the tragic death Of Dowie
and August lost his all.
