REVIVAL AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH WILL
 BEGIN TODAY; CHURCH ANNOUNCEMENTS

Beginning today and lasting until May there will he revival meeting conducted at tbe First Presbyterian church. pr. John S. Foster, pastor, has secured pr. Dunbar H. Ogden, pastor of the Central Presbyterian church, Att Ianta, to assist him in conducting the services and pr. Ogden will do most of the preaching.
 There will be two services each day. one at 12 o'clock. noon. and another beginning at 7,3O o'clock in the eevn- ing. In order that business men and clerks in the downtown district may have time to reach their places of busi- ness before o'clock. the noon services will last only 50 minutes. Dr. Foster says the time limit will not be ex- ceeded nt any service and extends n cordial invitation to business men to attend the meetings.
 Dr. Ogden, who will preach, has a wide reputation as tallxer to men and he will deal with subjects of espe- cial interest, of course. not departing from the idea of the revival-of saw ing as many souls as possible.
 Dr, Foster will be engaged during the revival in personal work, and a large corps of personal workers will assist him. This is one of the large parts in the successful revival and to tho personal workers is attributed much of the success of the Gipsy Smith revival held here last fall.

 The conveyance starts out for Port Wing, a little village on the shores of Lake Superior. where there is a splendid school with four grades of high school. On the way this conveyance picks up ls other children of pioneer settlers like Carlson. It reaches Port Wing in time for the opening of school at 9, and after the school is over the conveyance carries the children back to their hames.
 There are two other such conveyances that come out of the wilderness around Port Wing each school day. carrying children of settlers to this educational centre The children of men making homes fin the woods are thus given the advantage of first class village school. because the taxpayers of that town thus appropriate each year the money to pay for these rigs.
 At the extreme southern end of Wis consin three similar conveyances ara maintained, that carry an average of SO children back and forth from their hon~S to the Delvan school, and in several oth- CT parts of Wisconsin similar bus lines are maintained, so that the weak. poorly equipped district school can be abolished in favor of the consolidated district school or village high school, where the best of education can be given.

HOyne's men also received vaIu-
able information today concerning
the mysterious gUnman, who is said
to have been scheduled to play an i'm
pOrtant part in the Randolph street
shooting, but who bungled the job.
Two bullets from an ordinary SO
revolver started the pistol fight on
Randolph street Wednesday in which
Barney Bertsche, Bill Egan, Skip
Monahan, Nathan Spira and two
others were wounded.
Witnesses declare that there were
.WO loud, distinct reports and then
came the rattle of an automatic.
Who fired the two opening shots?
That's what States Atty Hoyne
would like to know. The police
Lain Bertsche started the fight. But
8ertsche had only an automatic.
And there's no mistaking the differ
ence between the sound of an auto
matte and an ordinary revolver.
From a reliable source comes the
Information that the police are con-
cealing the name of the man who was
walking east on Randolph st. with
BeTtsche when the fight started. The
dicks" claimed at first it was Nathan
Spira, recently convicted in the arson
trust cases.
On the other hand habitues of the
'Rialto" claim there was a very
well known police character with |
BeTtsche; a man so wise to the !
ropes that the police were willing to !
let him get away after the pistol bat
tie.
Then there's the mystery of the six
shots that Egan, Monahan and Capt.
Halpin can't account for. It was be-
ieved by every one that Egan had

counted for. And there are some in
clined to believe that as the case
grows there will be found as sinister
a plot to put some one 'off watch"
as the Rosenthal case in New York,
which shocked the entire country.
Hoyne is now searching for a South
Side gunman.
But something went wrong with
the local shooting mess. Some one
apparently blundered. There have
been much talk of gunner out after
Barney Bertsche. But he fooled them
by staying in his room until late in
the day usually and then only going
out accompanied by companion.
Barney Bertsche's attorney, Ben
Short, will enter a conference with
States Atty HOyne this morning and
has promised to tell what he knows
of welI-formed plot to kill Bertsche.
Barney told me his footsteps were
bounded by certain cops accompan-
led by gunner night and day." said
Short. He refused to tell me the
names of these policemen whom he
knew. know this to be true because
these cops, two of whom are high in
rank in the department, face Jail as
long as he is free"
1.-The shooting was the result of a
weI-planned, deliberate police plot to
kill him and get him out of the way.
That the shooting was premature is
the only reason that he is alive and
the plan originally was to entice him
to a deserted building on the outskirts
of the city, but the hired assassin
spoiled it all when he pulled his gun
on crowded street"

Hoyne said last night, 'is to the effect

A Letter From His
Hungarian Cousin

Kiraly-Darocz, Nov. 3, 1914.
Dear Cousin:
| am writing you to let you
know that we are all getting
along well. | am just home from
the front on a four weeks fur
laugh to see the folks. Have
been at the front in Russian ter
ritory more than sixty days and
have thus far escaped without
injury. My regiment has seen
a great deal of active fighting
and we are making progress. All
four of US boys are in the same
regiment and we are all save
thus far, not scratch on any of
us. You may know that we have
plenty of men, as we have been
given 4-weeks leave of absence.
The folks are all we'll at home
and you need not worry about us.
The Austrians have taken three
hundred thousand of prisoners
and great stores of ammunition
and field pieces. The Germans
and Austrians are fighting harm
oniously side by side and the final
victory must be ours. Tell the
American people that the combi-
nation can't be beat and that we
will win the fight.
Your loving cousin,
Isidor Francis.
