LEMONS AND TOMATOES
FIGURE IN THIS SCRAP.

Almost everybody resents being
handed a lemon, and they are apt to
put their resentment into a moro solid
form than words If the lemon is hurled
at them and hits them on the right
ear.
That is just what happened to
Adolph Kulzer. of $40 Broad street,
yesterday, and instead of offering the
other cheek he seized n tomato that
was left from his lunch and chalked
up a bulls-eye shot at the neck of the
nearest man, who Happened to be Jo-
seph Goldschein, of 2i5 Court street.
Goldschein claims he didn't throw the
lemon, so yesterday he went to the
First Precinct Court and swore out a
complaint against Kul2er. Not salts
lied with Instructions TO appear today,
he went to a justice of the peace and
swcre out another complaint. This
came to the ears If Acting Judge Ell
mer F%reeland and he dismissed the
complaint.

that more people would be directly in

RESIGNS BECAUSE
OF CHURCH DEBT
Rev. W. J. Leach Feels Task
Ahead of Him at Spencer
Memorial Is Too Big.
$4,000 OBLIGATIONS DUE
Knew That Two Able Ministers Had
Failed to Raise Amount
Will Become Journalist.

The fact that his church is in debt
to the extent of nearly $4,000 and
with little prospects of making even a
small payment, is given by Rev. W. J..
Leach of the Spencer Memorial church
as the reason for his resignation, the
announcement Of which was made IN
The Argus last evening. Rev. Mr..
Leach, who has been here only sew
eraI months, knew when he was as
signed by the Methodist conference at
Peoria that the passionate ahead OF him
was not one for a man Of leisure, but
he did not realize the magnitude of the
task until he was skuarely confronted by
it. Helearned that his predecessors, Rev.
RevMr. McVey and Rev. F.E. Shut, had
both labored valiantly, but in vain, to
raise the church debt, and he felt that
if they had failed, he, too, would event
ually have TO give up, and in justice TO
himself he decided 10 give up the pas
torate to one who felt equal TO it.
WILL LEAVE THE MINISTRY.
Accordingly at the Sunday evening
service he apprised the official board
of the fact that he had handed in his
resignation 10 superintendent AIeAau-
der Smith and that it was his intention
TO leave the ministry for a time at
least and become identified with
Pekin. Ill. newspaper in a journalistic
capacity. He has not determined as
yet, but will probably apply for anoth-
er charge when the Methodist confer
ence meets next year.
MADE, MANY FRIENDS
Rev. Mr.. Leach. although here only a
short time, had made a host of friends
who viii be disappointed at his de
cision TO give up the burden that faced
him. He was one of the live wires of
the district. and was well known for
his ability both as a preacher and a
writer. He is packing up now prepare
