GIVE SHIPPERS WIDE SERVICE
Company Is One of the Oldest in the
United States and Operates over
Many Railroad Lines-Entrance to
Kenosha Sought For Many Years.

Exit the United States. Enter the
Adams Express Company. Kenosha is
to have a new express company on
the first day of July as it is now
formally announced that the Adams
Express Company, one of the Oldest of
the express carriers of the nation has
taken over the business of the United
States Express Company on the line
OF the Chicago and Milwaukee Electric
road and when the books of the United
States company are closed at the Office
In Kenosha on June 30th the new books
OF the Adams company will be opened.
The Adams company will retain the
offices in the Andre. building on Main
street and G. T. McElwain, who has
been the agent for the United States
company, will simply change caps and
join the Adams force. Instead of the
old time sign the new sign will be
hung out in front of the offices.
All arrangements have been complet-
ed for the new company to take over
the business. It has been known for
years that the Adams Express Company
has been seeking chance to get into
Kenosha. This great company, one
OF the largest in the world, has been
all about Kenosha but the rail ar
rangements to the city were such as
to make it impossible to get an Office
here and freight shipped to Kenosha
from Offices of the Adams company in
5.arion parts rs the country has been
transferred to ether companies at CEN
trail shipping points. A big majority
Of this freight has been handled by
the United States Express Company,
the change from one line to the other
being made at Milwaukee.
The coming of the Adams Express
Company will open lot of new ter
ritory as direct shipping points from
Kenosha. The Adams company oper-
ates over many lines of railway in

louisville and Nashville, Chesapeake
and Ohio, Norfolk and Western, Grand
Rapids and Indiana, Denver and Rio
Grande, Western Pacific and Great
Northern Railways. It has affiliations
with the Northern, Globe and South
ern Express Companies which make
possible the operation of all of the
lines practically as one system.
The Adams company will offer ship
ping facilities from the Atlantic to the
Pacific coast and from the norther-
most part of Canada to the gulf. The
company will also have the offices Of
the United States Express Company in
other cities in this district.
The freight viii continue to be car
ried on the line of the Chicago and
Milwaukee Electric road and the
Adams company will have transfer
depots at both Milwaukee and Chicago
thus facilitating the movement of
freight out Of Kenosha.

ENDOWMENT FUND IS GROWING
Committee Reports That Pledges to the
Amount Of More Than $4,000 Have
Been Received Mother Superior Is
Principal Speaker at Banquet.
(From Wednesdays Daily

The alumnae association of Kemper
Hall held the most successful meeting
III years at the hall on Tuesday after
noon and more than eighty former
students of the school returned for the
afternoon. There were class reunions
IN the afternoon and representatives of
nearly every one of the classes since
1874 We're present. 1t is declared that
more Of the older girls among the
alumnae attended the session on Tues
day than in any former year. Many
women who graduated from Kemper
Hall and who have attained fame in
the world Of education and letters were
present at the reunion.
Mrs Mabel Frances Kilbourne
Hutchinson of Aurora, H., member Of
the class of 1889 and president of the
alumnae, presided at the business SEES
sion. The most interesting matter to
come at the business session was the
report of the committee In charge of
raising permanent endowment for
Kenper Hall. The committee reported
that the plan had met with great fav-
or among the former Kemper Hall girls
and during the first year of the cam
paign for pledges and contributions
more than $500 had been pledged.
The committee is hopeful that the
total amount will be brought up to
$25, 900. This is to be raised entirely
among the former students and grad.
yates and it is to be known as an
alumnae endowment for the school.
At the annual banquet of the
alumnae covers were laid for eighty
guests. There was no set program Of
speeches and the only address was Civ
en- by the Mother Superior. She spoke
especially of Kemper Hall as a school
for the teaching of Christianity among
women and declared that the hall
would always be open for the recep-
tion of the women, young or old, who
had been students under the direction
of the Sisterhood. She spoke especial
~ of the loyalty shown by the alumnae
uu1luS buG pdoG yodio anu uOClo1 Gu
that the loyalty Of the alumnae Of
Kemper Hall had been matter Of
great satisfaction to the members of
the Sisterhood and that cooperation
of former students had done much to
make Kemper Hall a more successful
school.
N. A. Rowe and A. H. Lance, both
of Kenosha, were elected as trustees of
the alumnae endowment fund for the
coming year.
The gathering Of the alumnae mark
ed the closing of the week of COM
mencement exercises at the school.
Most of the students left for their
homes on Tuesday evening and KEN
per Hall was deserted today. During
the next few days many Of the Asso-
ciate Sisters of st. Mary from differ
ent parts Of the country will come to
Kenosha to attend the annual retreat
to be held at the hall.

.STECKER FOR MANUAL TRAINING
Morton Park Man Who Has Been Act
ing as Substitute is Employed for the
New Year-Much Routine Business
For Board at Hot Weather Session.

| More vacancies in the list Of teach
ers for the city schools were filed at
the meeting of the board Of education
on Tuesday evening. A. B. Stecker of
| Morton Park, who has been substitute
| ing as L teacher of manual training,
was elected for the new year He is
| a2graduate of the Bradley school and
his work in Kenosha has given entire
satisfaction to the superintendent and
the members of the board
Miss Nuna j. Callaghan Of Fond du
Lac, graduate of the Stout Institute,
was employed as a teacher of domes
| tic science
Miss Anna schwockert Of Montello,
Miss Title Macarthur Of Dunbar, and
Miss Elvira Thompson of Milwaukee,
were employed as grade teachers. All
are experienced teachers Of normal
training. Miss Frank Stewart, who
has been teaching in the Oak Park
schools during the year just closed, will
return to grade work in the Kenosha
schools next year.
Miss Marguerite Quinn was granted
years leave Of absence in order to
continue her educational work The
resignation Of Miss May B. Frisbie,
who has had charge Of the outdoor
school, was accepted. No election to
fill the vacancy has been made and
this will be taken up later at a SEES
sion Of the teacher S committee.
The weather was pretty warm for
any extended arguments on the part Of
the members of the board, but the
Newman resolution in regard to limit
ing the attendance of pupils from the
country towns at the high school was
taken up and slaughtered A large
majority of the members Of the board
opposed the passing of the resolution
and next year pupils from the country
will be received under the same cir
cumstances as in former years. It is
certain that the high school will be
badly crowded and while a large ma
jority Of the members of the board
voted against limiting the number of
country pupils no suggestion was
made as to a plan to take care of the
increase in high school students. Elk
tension Of school grounds was dis
cussed and it is probable that the
board will make an effort to purchase
the Hannah school just west Of the city.
The contract for the coal for the
coming year was let to the Independent
Coal Company Of Kenosha. The con
tract price is $3.45 ton placed in
the bins and trimmed. The Indepen-
dent company furnished the coal for
the year just closing and the service
given the board by the company was
entirely satisfactory.
The usual amount of routine business
came up before the board.

CHIEF 0'HARE MAKES HIGH DIVE
Kenosha Elks at the State Convention
Prove to be the Livest Bunch in the
State and Stunts of Kenoshans Keep
Visitors Guessing All the Time.

h0HOSud E1hS, real DunCn OIL NV t
ones, are making real hit in Wausau
the state convention city, and the
presence of the big Kenosha herd has
done a lot to keep things moving at
the state convention Kenosha Elks
are not out looking for a convention
or anything else, but simply planning
to promote the sport of the convention
To this end all sorts Of jokes are being
perpetrated on the people of Wausau
by the Kenosha antlered herd. Last
night great crowd of people gathered
about Ed Alleman on the principal
street in the convention city and list
ened with awe while he made a stump
speech declaring his candidacy fol-
governor. Tom Temple oro-el shoe
shining parlor right in the principal
holtel Of Wausau and the things he
failed to do were not worth telling
Glenn Huff regaled the crowds with
stories of his services with the army
and navy at Vera Cruz and Judge
Randall was made the head Of mock
court which did real business all Tues
day night. Stunts by Kenosha Elks
were the real entertainment for the
visiting Elks and members Of the order
were kept busy all the time just wait
ing to see what would be the next
thing pulled off. Last night people all
over Wausau found great hand bills on
their lawns reading as follows:
Y Chief owen O'Hare Of Kenosha,
one Of the most noted detectives
in the state of Wisconsin, man
who has convicted countless muir
derers and horsethieves, and who
before becoming chief of police, had
reputation Of being the most
daring high diver in the state, will
make IS foot high dive from the
reef of the Bells House at 1880
tonight.
At half past seven a guard Of police
men was found necessary to keep the
crowd back in front of the Bells
House. The modest Kenosha chief APP
peared on the roof Of the hotel and
made good the daring announcement
to that extent. Then he slipped quiet
ly away and the crowd waited for
hours for him to make good while he
peacefully sat in corner of the Elks
club rooms and enjoyed the proceed
ings of the state convention.
The state meeting is the greatest
gathering of Elks held in the state
since the meeting of the Grand Lodge
in Milwaukee. Kenosha has one of
the largest delegations. On Tuesday
the Elks were entertained with auto-
mobile rides and baseball games and
in the evening big social event was
given. Today is the big parade and
it will be featured with the first APP
@pearance of the Kenosha Elks March
ing Club.
This evening teams from many of
the lodges in the state vii contest for
a trophy in ritualistic work and the
Kenosha team will take part in the
contest. The local Elks viii leave for
home late tonight and are expected to
reach here early Thursday morning.

THE CHURCH, THE LIFE OF EU-
ROPE.

A Protestant writer in the North
American Review for July, 1916, says:
Though seemingly enslaved, the
Church was in reality the life of Eu-
rope. She was the refuge of the dis
tressed, the friend of the slave, the
helper of the injured, the only hope
of learning. To her chivalry owed
it's noble aspirations; to her, art and
agriculture looked for every improve
ment. The ruler from her learned
some rude justice; the ruled learned
faith and obedience. Let us not cling
to the superstition which teaches that
the Church has always upheld the
cause of tyrants. Through the Middle
Ages she was the only friend and advo-
cate of the people, and of the rights
of man. To her influence was it
owing that, through all that strange
era, slaves of Europe were better pro-
tected by law than are now the free
blacks of the United States by the
national statutes"
Another Protestant writer, in the
Il OI0ISu NSudI ICI1y 1GONIC", Bays.
"Feudalism was the worst foe to
social order, because it was equally
opposed to the sovereignty of the
monarch and the liberty of the people.
Could it have held it's position, Europe
must have sunk into barbarism; but
it had to oppose powerful principle
the influence of the Church. In the
eleventh century the Papacy fought
the battle of freedom and civilization .
M. Guizot, in his Lectures on Civili-
zation in Europe" says:
"By all sorts of methods the Church
likewise strove to repress the ten
dency of society to violence and con-
tinued wars. Everyone is aware that
it was by the Truce of God, and nu-
merous measures of the same nature,
that the Church struggled against the
employment of force, and devoted it.
self to introduce into society greater
degree of order and mildness. These
facts are so we'll known that l am
spared the trouble of entering into
any detail"

forth by the denominations. The lack
of funds for the maintenance of these
missions even in primitive poverty is
a great hardship to those who have
their welfare at heart. Methodists
and Presbyterians, Episcopalians and
Seven Day Adventists can send their
missionaries over to the Islands to
pervert the Catholic natives. They
can line their pockets with gold, and
build magnificent churches, and hos
pitfalls and orphan asylums, while our
missioners do not know where the
next meal is to come from, and the
building of church by any one of
them is nothing short of a gigantic
undertaking. They write us and tell
us they are starving. They have not
the proper food to nourish their bod
les. But oftentimes we are too busy
with our own petty affairs to bother
about them. Father Jumauan wants
five thousand dollars-not for himself
but for his people; he wants it that
he may build church for them. Will
he receive it? The Society will gladly
forward to him any funds sent to the
Catholic Church Extension Society,
whose offices are located at 1888 Nc
Cormick Building, Chicago.
