THINK HE WORKED WAUKEGAN
Man Who Made Hay in Kenosha i.
Thought to Have Operated There.

Police of Kenosha in their efforts to
get some trace Of the bold forger who
worked in Kenosha under the name of
ohm RUSSELL are having very act
ice cooperation from the officials at
Waukegan- as it is thought that the
same man recently worked in Wauke-
gan under the name of OR. D. Ben
nett g The Waukegan forger worked
at furniture stores and his game was
almost exactly the same as the one
Russell worked in Kenosha. 1t is
thought that the man is making syste-
matte visits to North Shore cities and
getting away with considerable money.
Police departments in both Racine and
Milwaukee have been notified to keen
close lookout for the man Thus far
the Kenosha police have found no other
checks signed with the name Of Calvin
Stewart and it is thought that Russell
was satisfied with the twenty dollars
he managed to secure on the two bad
checks passed here.

C. c. Allen Producing Noted
Herd Of Guernseys on farm
in Kelosha County Now.
COWS make GREAT RECORDS

Senator Isaac Stephenson, who has
made feature Of his Kenosha
county herd is to have real rival as
&c. G. AlleA. has gone into the busi-
ness Of raising registered Guernseys
and Allenwood, the Allen country
home, west Of the city, promises
to be the home Of a herd just as famous
as the herd Of Senator Stephenson made
famous by Pauline Wayne, who at one
time sported on the lawn Of the white
house at Washington and furnished the
milk supply for the table of President
Taft
The Allen herd is new conner to the
records of the American Guernsey Cat
tie Club, but in the first year repre-
sentatives of the herd are making rec
ords so advanced as to indicate that
this county is in the very near future
going to produce champions in this
class of milk producers and butter MAX
ers. The Allen herd is not noted for
it's size but for its class and nearly
every COW on the farm is now being
tested under the direction of the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin specialists for adj
vanced registry. The tests have been
extended over period of one year
and Princess Deasie, a two year old,
who is the leader of the -herd in the
scoring has been registered with the
American club as the third best Or
Queer of milk and butter in the
country

Rev. ]. Z. Chynoweth Tells
Of an Interesting Expert
lnent in Racine Church.
NAY Be USED IN KENOsHA SOON
80 IS ~ M

The value Of the movies in
church work was the subject under dis
cussion at the Congregational church
when a large group Of the men Of that
parish gathered there for a social even
ing last night. After a half hour of
handshaking and sociability il the
church parlors the men took seats in the
auditorium of the church. Here NOV.
ing picture machine had been set up in
its fireproof room. The machine was
one of the best, and is the property
of the First Congregational church Of
Racine, whose pastor, Rev. J IT,.
Chynoweth has used it in his work with
great success for some years.
Mr.. Chynoweth told last night of the
method Of renting films the difficulty of
getting suitable films for Sunday use as
yet, but the great value in giving the
children and young people of the
church week lay evenings Of first class,
wholesome pleasure in connection with
their church life. Films on sociological
subjects are more common than dis
tinctively religious or biblical films, but
even they are not plentiful, as the pro-
ducers cater to the general public.
There is no object in church giving a
show in no way different from those
the children can see at any time in the
theaters. On the other hand there is a
possibility of an entertainment for the
children which shall at the same time
be valuable; such one the first church
in Racine gives every Thursday night,
and it is a valuable adjunct to the
church work.
After discussing the matter further
Rev Mr.. Chynoweth illustrated what
could be done by having thrown upon
the screen motion pictures to illustrate
travel, comedy, natural history, seen
cry ana literature Many questions
were asked and great interest was
shown in the work that many churches
are now taking up throughout the
country.
The men then adjourned to the rooms
below where light luncheon was sery-
ed at tables. A committee was appoint
ed to follow the motion picture move
ment as related to churches and report
at later meeting. After the refreshs
ments a very interesting topic was
opened up for discussion and the re-
marks by dozen speakers were so
entertaining and witty that midnight
arrived before the gathering finally
broke up. No formal organization Of
the men was planned, it being felt that
they were already sufficiently organic
ed as men Of the church and parish;
but second meeting was planned for
soon after the holidays.

FIRST TO TALK PHREN0LoGl
Theory Had Its Inception Through
Or. Gall, Practicing Physician
of Austria.

The first public notice OF the Faith
er of Phrenology" appeared in Well
and's Dutch Mercury" 115 years ago
Aug. II, 1898. the New York American
states.
Gall was practicing physician Of
Vienna, and early in his career he be
came firm believer in the idea thai
the talents and disposition of men are
dependent upon the functions of brain
and, furthermore, that they may be
inferred with perfect exactitude and
precision from the external appear
ance of the skull
Gall was an able man: he set forth
his theory in graphic. unctuous man
ner, and in very brief period he had
all Europe at the top notch of excite
ment. The idea spread like wildfire,
and In all grades of society peoplg
were discussing ''the greatest of all
discoveries" The new theory had to
meet the customary opposition from
the custodians Of truth and the pre-
servers Of morality. but the opposi-
ton only increased the popularity OF
the theory, and Calls celebrity in-
creased by leaps and bounds. HIS lee
lures were interdicted- and he was
threatened with the direct penalties
unless he ceased his Immoral end
atheistical" teachings; but he kept
ON with his propaganda, visiting all
the large towns of Germany and the
continent, ard by 1906 all of Europe
was interested In the Vienna doctor.

But after a great and glorious food

Leaving out of consideration differ
ences of opinion as to the merits OF
the several systems Of filtration and as
to the best way to finance the PROPOSE
tion which are sure to come up when
the need Of filtration plant for the
city is under discussion, two arguments
against the immediate installation Of
the plant will be used frequently.
First, there will be many who will con-
tend that the extension of the intake
which could be done at less than it
would cost to build filtration plant
would solve the problem of obtaining
clean, pure water. Unfortunately they
can guarantee nothing Experiments
and tests made recently by the gov
eminent engineers have shown chat pol
luton of the waters extends at times
nine miles out in the lake which is far
outside of any intake that Kenosha
could consider building 1t would be
unfortunate TO extend the intake say
mile further out into the lake at
an exense Of fifty or sixty thousand
dollars, and then f1-d it necessary to
keep up the chlorination plant for all
time. The fact that water is clear is
no guaranty that it is unpolluted and
safe to use and when the next changes
are made in the plant Of the water
company, the people of the city must
have their supplies guaranteed, not only
clear but safe. In the light Of the re-
cent Investigations and tests the ex
tension of the intake could be consid-
cred nothing but an experiment but 1T
might be an advantage to extent the
intake in connection with the building
of filtration plant 1t would relieve
the strain on the filters to bring the
water from farther out in the lake
where the lower levels are less disturb
ed by storms. Second, the fact that in
the course Of time federal laws forbid
ding the emptying Of sewage INTO the
lake will assuredly be passed. "A work
of such magnitude, however, involving,
as it does the rebuilding Of the sewer
system of every city on the lakes and
the expenditure Of millions Of money,
cannot be accomplished in a short
time. 1t will take years and Kenosha
cannot wait years for pure water even
if it were not I. fact that the appear
ance of the water and the amount of
dirt held in solution would be very lit
tie affected by the changes contemplate
ed by the government. The only way
the city can get clean, pure water is
to filter the. dirt out Of it and the soon
CT one is built the sooner a positive
drawback to the development Of the
city will be done away with,

The Iron Duke is to be the next
big British battlealaip. The Duke, OF
course, was Wellington, but he came
by the nickname in roundabout way
He Yves never so called until long
after Waterloo. An iron steamship, a
novelty at the time, was BUTT In the,
Mersey, and named the Duke of Well
tngton, and 80 the vessel came to be
known as the Iron Duke-the transit
ton being easy and obvious It was
the dukes union of resolution ard
physical energy which made the pop
ular name for the Merseybuilt steam
ship to ht him like a perfect cap.
Such, at least, is the explanation OF

The people of the city and it is sup
posed that conditions in Kenosha do
not differ greatly from those Of other
cities, have not responded 20 the ap-
peals of the postal authorities to mail
Christmas parcels early. The expect
ed increase in the business Of the post
offices has failed to develop and gen
eral CONGESTION of Christmas mail is ex-
pected in all offices unless the people
wake up to the ACCESSIBILITY Of for
warding their packages at once and get
them to the Offices. Every effort will
be made to keep the offices clear of
mail matter, but there is room for only
a certain number of extra men to work
in each Office and when the limit of
the amount of work that the force that
can be employed can do is 1eached, the
matter will have to accumulate until
the men can get to it. The postoffice
officials feel that they have given fair
warning of what is likley to happen
and that they will not be to blame for
any delays resulting from a flood of
mail in the two or three days before
Christmas.
