Hungry City Children" Say Farewell Fri
day and Some Are Taken TO the Home
at Elmhurst.
OFFER CHAPEL TO ST. MATTHEWS
Tender Sentiment of Memorial to Mrs. Hibbards VIII
Prevent It's Being Sold but Other Property,Is
on Market for Immediate Sale

st. Mary's summer home, one of the
most interesting of the institutions
which have been developed in Kenosha
in the past twenty years closed its
doors on Friday afternoon and the last
remnant of the hungry city children"
who have been coming from year to
ysar TO spend the summer in Kenosha
were taken away TO Chicago. 1t was
the end OF the summer aeason-the
last summer season in Kenosha, and
today the property which has so long
been the happy rendezvous Of the chill
dren was on the market ready for a
purchaser.
There were no ceremonies. The
Sisters of st, Mary, who have been in
charge of the children bundled them
up and took them back Just as they
had done In many years, but the chill
dren themselves knew that it was the
last day for them ataKenosha> and they
fingered to. the last minute out along
the sandy beach and son the comfort
able porches of the home. Some Of
the older children had tears in their
eyes as they slipped away tOsthe train
and there were some of the older peo-
pie from Kenosha who had gone down
TO "see them off" who had tear stain
ed faces as the happy little summer
visitors were taking their leave.
Babies Go To Elmhurst,
The littlest of the children-they
called them the babies-did not go
back to the rather imposing home, Of
the Sisters down on Washington boule-
ward in Chicago, on Friday afternoon
Some of them left several days ago
and they went to the wonderful new
home over at Elmhurst which was re-
Gently given to the Sisters of St. Mary
by Judge John Barton Payne of Chi
cago. In just little while new build
ings at the Payne estate which are I'M
der reconstruction will be ready for the
children and then all of the children
will leave the Chicago home and go
out to Elmhurst which is to be the
permanent home of all the children.
It is a splendid old place and since
the early part of the year builders
have been busy getting it ready to
take the place of the Kenosha and
Chicago homes. When the work is
completed it is going to be marvel.
It will offer home for two hundred
children. 1t lacks some of the beau
ties of the Kenoshs home but these
will be supplemented by other things
which will aid in making it better for
the children.
May Become City Park.
The Sisters of st. Mary have put a
price of fifty thousand dollars on the
ten acres on Durkee avenue, which has
been used as the home property. This
price includes the land and practic-

buildings, however-there is tender
little sentiment connected with the

WILCOX REQUESTS
ACT
Senator's Telegram Sug-
gests Conference Be Cali
ed to Decide Course.

Senator Roy P. Wilcox sent out a
telegram Friday night carrying the
suggestion of a statewide Republican
conference in Milwaukee to consider
the advisability of running an indie
pendent candidate for governor against
John J. Blaine, who carried the pri-
mary under the label Of the Non-Par-
tisan League, oagr3 o1i5sa4s5a. o-ay
The telegram was addressed to the
Republican candidates for governor
and lieutenant governor who made the
fight with Wilcox against Townleyism.
Wilcox takes the position that the
250000 Republicans who voted against
the league, should be given an oppor-
tunity to purge the Republican party
of this new radical element.
Asks Advice as to Candidate.
The question of who is to be indie
pendent candidate for governor, should
it be considered advisable to have one,
is not brought out.
Mr.. Wilcox's telegram, dated at Eau
Claire, is addressed to Col. Gilbert E.
Seaman, Milwaukee; Merlin Hull, Ma
olson; J. N. Tittemore, Omro; E. E.
Dithmar, Baraboo; Charles E. Everett,
Racine, and A. ]. Pullen, Fond du Lac
His message follows:
s Text of Message.
"The election returns indicate that
the radical Non-Partisan League
Socialist combination by appropriating
the Republican label has nominated its
candidates for governor and lieutenant
governor by a minority vote of less
than one-third of the total Republican
vote cast at the primary. AS a result,
the Non-Partisan League becomes a
real and not threatened m nace both
to our state and to our party. You and
have made the fight against this com
bination as matter Of principle and
the righteousness of our cause is not
affected by our defeat as candidates.
The 100000 Republican voters who
supported your candidacy and mine
should be given an opportunity to
purge the party of this element and
believe it is our duty to take imme-
date steps to afford them that oppor-
tunity. Will you join me in issuing
call for statewide conference of real
Republicans to be held in Milwaukee
in the near future to take such steps
as the conference shall then determine
to protect our state from this menace
period. Prompt action is necessary.
Please wire answer to me here"
The telegram speaks for itself. It
appears that there will be mo- state
wide conference Of Republicans unless
the other candidates indorse such plan.

KENOSHA MINE
YIELDS RICH ORE
New Blast in Grass Valley
, Brings to Surface Great
Wealth of Ore.

Heavily laden with virgin gold and
weighing fully 200 pounds, single
piece of quartz lays on table in the
offices of the Alcade Gold Mines COM
pany in the Mechanics building in San
Francisco, The mine was formerly
the property of the Kenosha Gold Min
ing company.
According to George W. Root, gen
eral manager Of the concern, the speci-
men is from recent strike in the
Alcade mine at Grass Valley and is
worth approximately $4,000. This
quartz is more than three feet long,
a foot deep and a foot wide. Other
specimens, said to have been taken
from the same mine and highly i'm
pregnated with free gold, are also on
display in the company's offices.
Strike Made Week Ago.
The strike was made week ago,
according to officers of the concern,
and was the outcome of nineteen years
work on the same mine. The. first blast
is said to have uncovered $4,000 worth
of the precious metal and to have
opened both an upper and lower
chute on the 400-foot level.
Rich Ribbon Quartz.
The quartz runs in ribbon structure
on true fssure vein, Root says, and
is not merely pocket. The mine was
formerly known as the "Kenosha."
Work was started nineteen years ago
by a group of miners who later ahand-
oned the holdings. Since that time The
mine has been opened and abandoned
several times. Last August the Alcalde
company of San Francisco took it over,
pumped out the water and began OPP
erations. The strike is said to have
been somewhat accidental. The show
er of gold was the result of blast at
a point where it had been decided to
put in a winze.
Lloyd L. Root, son of George w.
Root; is given credit for the strike.
He is experimenting the mine work.
The property embraces $40 acres.
