It is impossible to read the story Of
lne rescue Of score of miners from the
ST Paul mine at Cherry. after they had
ceen entombed for a week, without real
izing that the days of heToism and ca
pacIty to endure the extremes of SUI
fering are not yet passed. In the whole
dismal story Of mining disasters, there
is nothing more moving and wonderful
thas this. The saving of those men
through the brains and leadership of
George Eddy, one Of the mine exam
iners. in building a barrier to wall out
the deadly gases. is one Of the most
remarkable Of romances.
It is a striking testimonial to the value
Of cOOl-headedness and understanding,
and TO the truth Of that old proverb,
that truth is stranger than fiction.

diplomatic representatives in foreign
countries. Having just returned from d
visit 70 all the capitals of Europe. dur

our American ambassadors and minis
ters, save three, who were absent,

in favor Of the movement organized by

Bishop Mcdowell Names Evans.
ton Man as Successor to the
Late w. w. Stevens
TOOK CHARGE ON SUNDAY
New Minister Has Had Wide Expert

as a Teacher in the Schools
of the Church

Bishop William F. Mcdowell of Chi
cago, the presiding bishop of the Wis
consin conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church, has formally appoint
+, ed the Rev. s. G. Bronson of Evanston,
ILL.,, as pastor of Park avenue M. E.
church in this city to succeed the late
w. w. Stevens and DR.. Bronson came
to Kenosha on Sunday and formally
took eharge of the work of the church.
DR.. Bronson is not a stranger to the
members of the Kenosha church as he
has filled the pulpit on many occasions
since the death of Mr.. Stevens and he
is well liked by the members of the
church. 1t had been planned to have
the Rev. George H. Trevor, a member
of this conference now teaching in one
of the southern colleges of the church,
come to Kenosha, but it was impossi-
BILE to make arrangements with DR..
Trevor to take the work and after it
was found that he could not come to
/ Kenosha DR.. Bronson was the uhani-
nous choice of the official Board of
the church. This choice was immedi-
ately ratified by Superintendent Rol-
Inns of Milwaukee and Bishop Nc
Dowell made the appointment on Sat-
urday.
/ DIR. Bronson is a man of scholarly
attainments and is widely known
among the ministers of the church. He
served for seventeen years in the pas
toral work as a member of the Upper
Iowa conference and gave up his place
as pastor of the First Methodist church
at Burlington, Iowa, to become teach
er in Garrett Biblical seminary al
Evanston, the Theological school in
connection with the Northwestern Uni
versity. He has reputation as g
writer and lecturer throughout the
northwest. DIR. Bronson will not re
sign his position at the seminary or
coming to Kenosha as it is understood
that his appointment to the church here
is only for the unexpired term Of Mr.
Stevens, which will expire on Septem
Der 9Th, when the annual conference OF
the church meets in Kenosha At thai
time it is expected that one of the lead
ing ministers of the Wisconsin con
ference will be named as pastor of the

held in Wisconsin This is the first
time that Kenosha has entertained the
conference since the pioneer days aud
it is expected that the meeting win
bring to the city more than four
hundred of the leading ministers and
laymen of the church in the state In
order to provide for the entertainment
of the visitors it will be necessary for
the people of the city to open their
homes for their entertainment, but the
members of the church feel assured
that the hospitality of the people of

demands made upon the church by the
conference. The program of the annu-

Head Executive Of City Arrests
Four Tramps and Orders Them
Held for Trial as Migrants
SEEKS UNION OF INTERESTS
Police Seek to Interest County and
Railway Company in Plan to
Drive Tramps out of the
City and County

Mayor NJ. j. Scholey is determined
to break up the band of hobos which
has been infesting the western end of
the city. and Thursday he personally
arrested four of the wanderers who
were making life a burden for the peo-
pie of that part Of the city. The
mayor rounded up his four hobos and
then called the patrol wagon and the
men were landed in the county Jail for
the night. They expected that they
would be turned out Friday, but
this was not the program of the mayor
and he mrected the officers to keep
them in Jail until tonight when the
mayor will personally appear against
them and ask that they be sent up for
vagraney.
With the coming of the first warm
weather the ola band of hobos seem
to be making for Kenosha and in the
past week the lives of people on the
west side and particularly those living
along the western branch Of the North
western railway nave oeen made miser-
able by these people. They make the
rounds of the houses at any hour of
the day or night and demand food and
money ana in many cases householders
have been abused and even threatened
with violence when they refuse to meet
| the demands of these tramps. Many
of the men are we'll known to the Ke-
nosha police force and it is claimed
that some of these men have come to
Kenosha Tor several years and that
they plan to find easy living in this
city during the summer months. Mayor
Scholey went to Chicago this morning
to take up the matter with the officials
Of the Northwestern Railway Company
Nearly all of these hobos make their
homes in the yards of the com
pany sleeping in the box cars or in
camps along the tracks of the com
pany Just outside the limits of the city
these men have become so insolent
that they laugh at the officers when
they drive them from the city and the
minute the backs of the officers are turn
ed they return to the city and begin
soliciting food and money. Most of
these camps are along the right Of
way of the company. Chief O'Hare
| is getting ready to form an alliance
with the sheriff and the detectives OF
the Northwestern Company with view
of assaulting the camps Of the hobos
and driving them not only out of the
city, but out of the county. The rail
way company has had no end of trou
BILE with the hobos and one of the hard
est tasks for the detectives of the
company is to keep watch of these
tramps.

BROWN AS LECTURER
Former Kenosha Minister TO Take
Up Fight Against the White
Plague in Wisconsin
EXHIBIT TO BE A FEATURE

Supplementing the successful jour
ney of the Travelling Exhibit the Wis
consin Anti Tuberculosis Association
has instituted another remarkable pro-
gram Of educational work made posi-
BILE by the sensational Red Gross Stamp
campaign success Of last holiday sea-
son.
Harvey Dee Brown, Phi. D., has been
engaged as special lecturer and will
make several tours of the state on
itineraries of one night stands.
The first two lectures were held at
Manitowoc, May 10th, and at Two
Rivers, May II. At the first city a
large and enthusiastic audience turn
led out to hear how the greatest
scourge of modern mankind can be
overcome and how thousands of lives
and millions of dollars may be saved
each year.
At Two Rivers, to which the news
of DR.. Brown S lecture of the night be-
fore had Travelled, standing room only
audience was on hand. Every seat in
the large auditorium, accommodating
1000, was taken and large number
stood throughout the lecture. A SEN
sation was created when the lecturer
after showing slides of bad conditions
in large cities abruptly declared that
similar conditions existed, in Two
Rivers and gave specific instance of
fat where a man had died year be-
fore. Another family had moved in,
all in perfect health, but now the head
of this family has been stricken with
| tuberculosis. He declared that similar
things were happening all over the
state. At the conclusion, the audience
showed it's determination to wipe out
every disease nest in the city by form
| ing local anti-taberculosis society,
and dollars, halves, quarters, dimes and
pennies were eagerly offered as contri-
buttons to push on, ever mere rapidly
the life saving work.
The work of the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association has the sup
port and fullest cooperation of the
extension division of the State Uni
versity.
The society is willing to send DR..
Brown to give his illustrated lecture
IN any community in which SUFFICIENT
interest is shown to insure good andi
ence. No better evidence need be Civ
en- of the interest aroused than is of
fered by the fact that DR.. Brown is
able to held his audience spell bound

FORFEITs IT'S RIGHTS
10. B. & @. Ry. Loses Franchise Rights
in Wisconsin as Result of Old Law

Discussion Of the Egan bill before
the assembly to extend to foreign rail
road corporations the same right of
condemnation that is possessed by a
domestic company has unearthed the
fact that the license to do business
in this state of the Chicago, Burling
ton & Quincy railroad company was for
feited in 1906. The secretary of state
has called the attention of the attor-
ney general to the matter to ascertain
whether the action Of forfeiture was
proper and if so whether the right to
do business within this state is
authorized.
The records of the secretary of state
show that the Burlington roal filed a
copy of it's articles in 1901, but that
these were forfeited during the admin
stration of w. T.. Houser on April i,
1905 for failure to file a annual report
Of stock and business done in the state.
Section 1770b provides that "no cor
poration-except railroad corporations
shall transact business or acquire
property until it shall have filed arti-
cles with the secretary Of state. Under
this section as amended, every foreign
corporation which has fled a copy of
it's articles or charter, shall annually
make report. The law further pro-
yides that the amount required to do
business shall be determined from com
putations based upon this report. The
secretary Of state raises the question
for the attorney general to answer as
to whether this last section (Which
makes no exceptions is intended to
cover railroads"
Under recent decisions of the Su-
preme Court, it is believed that either
the forfeiture of the right of the Ii
cense of the Burlington road to do bust
ness was incorrect and the record
oHoulu w cVllCCtOuj " WIG lodu Will
have to incorporate under the laws of
this state. Most of the railroads
operating in the state are incorporated
as domestic concerns paying fling
fee of 81 per $1,000 on capital stock.
It is probable that the opinion of the
attorney general will either compel
the railroad to file its annual state
ment and pay an annual fee or to file
articles as regular domestic corpora
ton. The discovery of the forfeiture
record of the Burlington has resulted
in general examination Of the articles
of the other roads, but no further for
FIXTURES have been discovered.

MORE LEGAL HOLIDAYS
Legislature to Make Washington and
Lincoln Birthdays Holidays

Two legal holidays, the anniversary
of the birth day of Abraham Lincoln
and the day on which the September
primary is held, will be added to the
list of days designated for observance
in Wisconsin if the senate approves
action by the assembly on the Kubasta
amendment to the Keup bill. Assem-
blyman Keup introduced bill provid-
ing that in addition to other present
holidays, the anniversaries Of the birth
days of Washington and Lincoln should
be observed in alternate years His
idea was that as these anniversaries
both fall in the month of February it
would be best to have the schools OBJ
serve them by appropriate exercises in
alternate years, rather than to suggest
two such patriotic holidays each year
in the same month. Assemblyman XII
basta, however, offered a substitute
making each of these anniversaries a
legal holiday and also the day on
which the September primary is held.
The assembly adopted and advanced
this substitute bill, and if the senate is
of like opinion, the Wisconsin law
designating legal holidays will read as
follows:
"The first day of January, the
twelfth day Of February, the twenty
second day Of February, the fourth
day of July, the twenty fifth day of
December, the thirtieth day of May,
the day appointed by the governor as
labor day, or by him or the president
of the United States as a day of pub
lie thanksgiving in each year, the day
on which the September primary is
held, and the day of holding the gen
era1 election are legal holidays; pro-
vided, that for schools, neither the day
of the September primary, the day of
the general election, the twelfth day
|of February, nor the twenty second
day of February shall be legal holi-
day, and on the twelfth day of Feb
ruary and the twenty second day of
February, schools shall hold appropri-
ate special exercises commemorative
Of such respective day; and whenever
either Of said days shall fall on Sun
day the succeeding Monday shall be
the legal holiday to be observed un-
der the provisions of this act
