CITY TO GIVE BIG WELCOME
Leaders of the Organizations in Ke-
nosha on Sunday to Complete the
Work of Making Up the Program
for Three Days Meeting.

Arrangements were completed at
meeting held at Schlitz hall on Sun
day afternoon for the twelfth annual
state gathering of the German Veter-
ans in Wisconsin which is to be held
in Kenosha Saturday, Sunday and Mon
day, June II, Is, 10 and it is certain
that the reunion will be the greatest
gathering of the Soldiers of 1.-THE Faith
erland ever held in the state. Max
Hottelet of Milwaukee, president of the
State Bundle and Secretary Gustav
Guenther of Chiffon, were in Kenosha
to be in charge of the meeting. They
were given cordial reception by the
German Veterans of Kenosha and May
or Scholey, Aldermen Stemm and
Werner and several other Of the city
officials attended the meeting.
! Kenosha is going to give the German
veterans a great welcome and while the
Garfield House will be the headquarters
for the veterans it is expected that
many Of them will be entertained in
the homes of the German people of the
city. Secretary Guenther reported that
| there would be forty-tWo societies from
different parts Of the state represented
at the reunion and that he had expect
ed no less than 1900 members of the
| different societies to attend. Sunday
will be the big day Of the reunion. On
this day there will be a parade start
| ing from Market Square and it is ex-
pected that no less than 1000 people
will march in the parade. All the Ger
man societies Of the city will take part
and the officials Of the city have ac
copied the invitations of the officials
to lead the parade. The old German
soldiers will bring banners used in
the wars of the first Kaiser and it is
certain that there vii be lot of
memories recalled when the parade is
made up. Alderman c. F. Stemm will
be marshal Of The parade. Several of
the organizations will bring bands with
them and it is expected that every
band in the city will be engaged for
the parade.
On Sunday afternoon at Schlitz hall
great camp fire of the German vet
Grams will be held and at this camp
fire addresses will be delivered by men
who had an active part in the various
German wars. Speakers are coming
from many states and the most prom
inent men in the country connected
with the German Bundle will be here
to make addresses.
The business session of the state or
ganization will be held at Schlitz hall
on the last day of the reunion and
many matters of great Importance will
be taken up at these sessions,
This is the first time that the German
veterans have met in state reunion in
Kenosha and it is planned to made the
gathering memorable one. People of
the city living along the line of march
of the parade will be asked to decorate
their homes and it is certain that the
city officials will take notice of the
coming of the veterans by putting the
city hall and other public buildings in
festival attire for the three days.
The program for the reunion was
made up at the meeting on Sunday af-
ternoon and it will be issued within a
month.

Circuit Court Will Not Be in Session
Again Until the First of May.

Circuit Court Will Not Be in Session
Again Until the First of May.
With the adjournment of the Cir
cult this afternoon the jury was ex-
eused until May 1st on account of the
fact that Judge Belden will have to be
in Racine next Monday for the opening
of the regular April term Of the Cir
cult court of Racine county. The work
Of the March term of the Kenosha
court is far from completed and it is
certain that the court still has a
months work to clean up the cases on
the calendar which are certain to be
tried and it looks now as if the term
would run far into the summer and
probably past the time for the opening
of the June term for this county. The
first case called for trial is that of Paul
ina Steinke against the Kenosha Home
Telephone company and it will be fol
lowed by a number of other suits for
damages as a result Of personal iniur-
les. 1t is expected that the jury which
has heard the Govacz case will secure
a verdict before the day is over.

PROF. PARLIN'S LECTURE.
Papers Speak Highly of Words and Pic
ture of Lecture to be Given April IS.

The Wausau Record Herald of March
% has the following to say about the
lecture of Mr.. G. G. Parlin:
The scenes showing the open stage,
whereon the great chorus, composed Of
many Oberammergau residents, the clos
ed stage, where the beautiful tableaux
are shown, and the side entries, de-
picting streets in Jerusalem, were ac-
curately portrayed. The contrast of
some of the tableaux, showing old tes-
lament themes, with the acts of the
play depicting incidents in the life of
Christ, was noteworthy. Some of the
most important scenes, such as the
scourging of the money changers in
the temple, the triumphant entry, the
departure from Mary, the tempting of
Judas, the last supper, the Gethsemane
scene, the kiss Of Judas, and the last
few hours of Christ on earth, were
thrown on the screen. The crucifxion
scene and the resurrection, Christ s APP
pearance to Mary Magdalene, and the
final Ascension scene were marvellous
ly beautiful. The whole combination
of views, together with the reverential
and deterrent attitude of the speaker
towards his subject, made lasting i'm
preston on his audience. Mr.. Parlin
has absorbed from his visit to Oberam-
mergau and view of the Passion Play,
the spirit IL which the peasants strive
to present the scenes of the holy life
of Christ on earth.
