The Shooting Of Gaynor

There has been practically no excep

over the all but successful attempt to
assassinate Mayor 6oynor of New
York. While this country has its share
of political misflts, who believe that the
honest enforcement Of the law is an
awful burden on tho people, the vast ma.
iority Of them are mild cranks whose
disbelief in government In satisfied with
more or less veiled criticisms Of that
government. There is in them no sym.
pathy for the anarchist who would de.
stroy, either Of the Scolgosz type or Of
this fellow Gallagher, who is simply u
specimen Of the predatory thugs Of II

this arises, the visionsire Is In accord

Ia the recent issue of the Pueblo

Col Twitchell is first Vice president of

is we'll worth reproducing, and is given
herwith in full:
"ln all its history, New Mexico has
never had 30 much attention as at

of the territory as q state, the great land

the knowledge that in New Mexico there
are thousands Of acres Of land which
may be taken up under the homestead

There are a great many democrats who

NAME is CHANGED
Balm Station on G. & NJ. Elec-
trio to Be Known as South
KenOsha Hereafter
PATRONS PETITIONS GRANTED

On the petitions Of the patrons Of
the company living IN the vicinity Of
the station, the Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric Railroad has agreed to change
the name of the stop on the line south
of this city hitherto known as Balm
station to South Kenosha. There is
another station known as "Bain
west of the city and the similarity of
the two names has led to endless con
fucion and some time ago the people
in the vicinity of Balm station decided
that they would be the gamers by a
change of name and a petition was
gotten up and numerously signed to be
presented to the officials of the electric
line. J. E. Williams was one of the
leaders in the circulation of the petit
ton for the change in the name of the
station and he has received a letter
from the general manager for the re-
ceivers of the railroad in which the
company grants the request Of the
petitioners and agrees to change the
name of the station in its advertising
matter and in all circulars and print
ing matter of every kind issued by the
company. The letter to Mr.. Williams
follows:
Highwood, Ill, July Is, 1910.
Mr.. J. E. Williams, 7o7 Garden St.,
Kenosha, Wis.
Dear Sir
sub:-stations & shelters-Change
of name of Balm Road Station to South
Kenosha.
Replying to your letter of June Doth
with attached petition for changing the
name of Balm station to South Ken
osha. l have investigated the matter
and find that there is no reason why
this should not be done so far as the
G. & M. e. R. r. is concerned and from
now on the name viii appear on our
records as South Kenosha instead Of
Balm Road as heretofore.
Our printing will be changed and
our trainmen and employees will be in
formed Of the change at once.
Very truly yours,

General Manager, for the Receivers.

similar lists on the inside of magazine

Athletic contests of various kinds,
including an Aquatic regatta and pos
sibly a boxing show, will be features
of the entertainment program for the
Knights of Pythias during their ma
tional eneampment at Milwaukee next

Hugo frost, member of the MiIwau-

terday that he is trying to arrange a
big athletic meet for August on the
upper Milwaukee river. The Milwau-
kee Rowing club has promised to CO.
operate and it is probable that the
canoe clubs will also participate. An
invitation will be sent to the Chicago
Boat club to enter one or two rowing
crews in races with Milwaukee oars
men. In addition there will be a series
of events for canoeists.
The boxing program has not been
definitely decided upon. If a good
show can be arranged it is likely that
it will be staged at the Hippodrome on
Friday night, August 5.

Last Sunday was a veritable
"Red Letter" day in St. Paul's
church. A long-standing debt of
s65O.O 90 was all provided for in cash
and good subscription. In every
way the day was splendid success.
Rev. E. C. MacNichol, D. D., of
Asbury M. E. Church, Wilmington,
preached two fine sermons which
were immensely enjoyed by the large
congregations present. The Ladies'
Aid Society, one of the best within
our Conference territory, has always
been and continues to be, persistent
ly active in freeing the preachers
home from its entire burden of debt.
On last Sunday the Society was in
evidence, and took noble and lib
eral part in wiping out the last dol
lar on the parsonage. To their loyal
ty and perseverance is largely due
the success Of last Sunday. TIE
Official Board also deserves a great
credit for their management, and
splendid service i'll making the day
a triumph for the enterprise. The
collectors performed their part sue
cessfully. This was shown by tn, i
