SEEK ZION COLLEGE
Seventh Day Adventists Seek to Pur
chase College Buildings in Zion

Straight from Zion City comes the
tip that the Seventh Day Adventists
are negotiating for the purchase of the
Zion college building, an immense struc-
ture solidly built, and the extensive
campus surrounding it.
The structure will be used for a col
lege and central Illinois meeting place
for conventions and conferences.
1t is understood that the rate offered
on the building, the building itself and
the general line up suit the Adventists
to a T, but one director is said to be
hanging out on the deal.
The Adventists believe in the early
second coming Of the Christ. They
have colony down near Sheridan, Ill.,,
but have-no extensive settlement i'll
the state.
In Zion City there is a big contin-
gent of the sect and they are at pres
ent holding meetings in private resi-
dences, the decision being made at one
of these meetings, called from the
state at large, just recently.

WITH GUM SIDE UP
Hereafter All Stamps When Sold Must
be Given With Head Down

The government issued an order this
morning which will be Of great benefit
to Kenosha people in the way Of pro-
tecting their health, and the order now
is in effect. The order which was re-
ceived here, states that all stamps
which are sold through the window in
the Office shall be given to the purchaser
with the gum side up. To most people
it seems simple order, but neverthe
less it is a good one. All kinds of
people, with all kinds of dirt on their
hands, do business through the stamp
window, and in spite of the efforts Of
the clerks to keep the glass plates on
the platform of the window clean, they
will collect dirt. If the stamps are
handed out with the gum side down, a
certain amount of the dirt will be col
lected and as most people lick the
stamps with their tongues the dirt and
germs pass into the mouth.
The government takes every precau-
ton against disease promoters, and the
glue which is placed on the stamps is
absolutely pure. 1t is made principally
of corn juice, and is not injurious in
any manner. Owing to the fact that if,
the stamps are the least bit sticky the
dirt and germs collect on the gum side,
and people should not lick them unless
absolutely necessary. Stamps are of
ten kept with money or are handed out
over the same counter with money, and
as money is the worst germ distributor
the stamps naturally become dirty.

Chief O'Hare Finds That Men Sought
Have Left Kenosha Within the Past
Few Days and Rigid Search is Be-
ing Continued.

Chief of Police 0 Hare and the mem
bers of the Kenosha police force are
making a quiet little search to locate
a number of Italians in Kenosha who
are alleged to have connections with
an organization in Chicago similar to
the s9'Black Hand The Chicago or
ganization is charged by Chicago de-
tectives with being responsible for a
number of particularly revolving crimes
within the past few weeks and it is al
legged by the officers of Chicago that
some of the men most active in the
Chicago organization have been living
in Kenosha
Wednesday afternoon acting on in
formation from Chicago Chief O'Hare
and his men sought to arrest Kenosha
Italian who was alleged to be connect
! ed with the Chicago gang and whose
name is given as one of the leaders of
the gang by the Chicago force 1t
was found that the man in question
had not been seen in Kenosha since
| last Monday and his relatives were I'M
willing to give out any facts in regard
to his whereabouts. Another of the
names is that of man who is now
fugitive from justice in Kenosha
Chief O'Hare admits that this may
simply be a strange coincidence in
the similarity of the names but at the
same time he is making every possible
effort to get hold of the men in ques-
tion that they may be turned over to
the Chicago officials. It is said that
warrants for these men have already
been issued in Chicago One of the
men suspected who is alleged to be a
Kenosha man disappeared from Keno
sha last year and at the time of his
disappearance warrant had been issu-
ed charging him with a serious offense..
It was known at the time that the
man had gone to Chicago but he was so
careful of his hiding places that the
detectives of that city were never able
to find any trace of him.
| In the past ten years there has been
many mysterious crimes among the
Italians of Kenosha and time and
again Italians have asserted that they
were pursued by Blank Hand, but the
police have put little stock in these
stories
1t seems certain that it is an easy
matter for fugitives from justice in
Kenosha and especially among the
Italians to find safe haven in Chicago
and few who escape to that city are
ever found and brought back by the
Kenosha police. At the present time
the police hold warrants for several
men who have escaped arrest in this
manner.

pretty appearance. The two brides
were given in marriage by their father

the Rev. Edgar 7. Farrill, pastor of the
First Congregational church. During
the wedding ceremony the "Flag of
