A QUEENLY COLONEL
THE GERMAN EMPRESS AND
HER BRAVE CUIRASSIERS.
PATRIOTIC POMMERANlANS
Their Splendid Achievements in the
Great Battle of HOhen-Friedbe-~
Annually Comnemorated The
Beautiful Empress Louise Takes
the Title of Colonel in 1903.

1t is not generally known that the
empress of Germany is a fuli-fedged
colonel of one Of the finest regiments
in the vast army Of the empire. The
advent of the new woman has nothing
10 do with the military prominence Of
this lady. The dead and gone German
queens were colonies before the new
woman was ever thought of. The
dowager empress is also colonel, and
so are a number of other women OF
the royal house Of Germany. Of course
their military standing is largely nOm-
inal. There is not one chance IN ten
thousand that these queens and duch-
eSses will ever do anything more war
like than don pretty feminine edition
of the uniform of a favOrite regiment
and review the soldiers ON some festi-
val occasion. That is about all that
King Williams wife does, but her sol
diers feel that they are more honored
than the average, and to be a member
of the queens regiment is esteemed
most fortunate piece of good luck.
The regiment coloneIed by the en-
press is known as the queens regiment

Schulenberg dragons. Later it was
called the Bayreuth dragons, but upon
the death of the last count of Bay
reuth in 1903 it was given its title.
In 1905 the beautiful Empress Lou
ise-WhO tried her sweet Wiles in vain
on the first Napoleon to soften the con.
ditions imposed by the conquerer after
Jena-took upon herself the title of
colonel of this regiment, and since
then all the succeeding wives of the
German emperors have done the same.
Queen Louise inspected her regiment
regularly and took great interest in it's
welfare. Then as now the uniform
was Of white, but in the battle of
Hohen-F'riedberg it was clothed in
light blue. In 1919, two years before
the celebration of it's one hundredth
anniversary, the regiment was changed
from dragon to cuirassier.
At all of the great military celebra-
lions the empress appears on her mill
tary horse, clad in the uniform Of the
PommeranianS. These appearances
always create the most extraordinary
enthusiasm among the people. The SOL
diers feel that they have a personal in
terest in the welfare of the queen.
From the ranks of the PCmmer-
anians the queens guard, which is al
ways near her, is chosen. This guard
is commanded by an officer of the regi-
ment and he is held responsible for
the safety Of the royal lady. The
guard has quarters near the Imperial
palace, and is on an equal footing with
the Garde du Corps, which looks out
for the safety of the emperor.
In all the great wars that Germany
has had in the last century and a half,
the PommeranianS have taken d prom
lnent part. There is nothing femininei
about the fighting abilities of the regi-
ment, notwithstanding that its colonel
is woman. 1t was regarded as tleI
best regiment of al the German forces
n the Franco-PruSsi3n war, and the |

CHOLERA RAGING IN THE LIT
TIE EMPIRE OF JAPAN.
Over a Thousand Fatalities Reported
Deaths in the Street-Nearly Every
Province is Affected.

San Francisco, July 26.-Cholera is
raging in Japan. Nearly every prov
ince in the little empire reports a
heavy death rate. The officers and
passengers On the City Of Pekin tell
tales Of death from cholera in the
streets of the cities where the steamer
called. From the outbreak of the
plague until the stean,er sailed from
Yokohama, 1,1S3 deaths had been re-
ported. The disease was brought into
Japan by the forces returning from
the war in China and Corea.

THE BICYCLE GIRL.

Look! Behold the cycle show.
Hitler, tbither, see them go!
Faster now, and now so slow,
Sporting through the dust and air,
Dancing here and racing there;
Prancing here and everywhere;
Rollicking in the gentle breeze
Frolicking mid the shady trees;
Sitting meath the bending bough,
Quitting it and rushing now;
Sailing through the bowling blast,
Quailing not at speed so fast;
Whirling through the dusty air,
FIrling now their wings SO fair;
Utt'ring not a single sound,
Flutt'ring, laughing DER the ground,
Drops, a-weary, at their homes,
Stops at last to rest their bones.
Thus, the maiden, all forlorn,
At even late and early morn,
Straddles her Pegasus fleet,
Rushing through the crowded street;
Skirts a-fying in the air,
Boomers, Hopping everywhere;
While up and down 60 the knees,
Tread-mill fashion, ''as you please"
Men and boys enjoy the sight
The graceful pose of maiden bright,
Though clad in boomers, loathsome
rags
More wholesome are than some old
hays;
SO, clear the way! they come! they
come!
A full brigade! Oh! how they hum!
No rights have you that they know,
Broken heads are all the go.
So, clear the way! Clear the way.
Women, men and lumb'ring dray.
On they sweep with fearful hum,
Hurting souls to kingdom come,
And people, too, of various trades,
Of many types and many shades
Erin's son, behind his kicker,
And then, the proud young Knicker-
Booker in robes Of lordly pride,
With maid or matrOn at his side.
Then, the sport, with lightning speed,
BUSHES past like foaming steed.
The father and the mother,
The sister and the brother,
Boys and girls of tender ages
SdlnLS anu Slu1erS, IOOlS anu odSeS-
A motley mass breaks on the view
Far up and down the avenue;
Jingle, jingle, go the bells,
Mingling, each it's story tells;
Shouts and gibes and merry songs,
footing horns and roaring gongs:
WOmen's trappings in the air
Fall on tramp or millionaire.
The modest maiden stays at home
while the vulgar roam,
)r bitches UP her iron gray,
)r roam, or white, or black, or bay;
And to the park pursues her way.
Thus the dancing and the prancing,
And the sitting and the quitting,
Thus the sailing and the quailing,
and the whirling and the furIing,
thus the dropping and the stopping
Of a maiden On her wheel

cts our people all ablaze
H'illed with wonder and amaze.

The battle celebrated was that of
Hohen-Friedberg. 1t was then under
the command of Frederick the Great,
and attacked the combined Austrian
and Saxon forces. 1t was due entirely
to the heroic work of the soldiers of
the Bayreuth dragons, as the regi-
ment was then called, that the battle
was won. They made $500 prisoners,
captured sixty-six battlefags, twenty
cannons, and conquered ten regiments
of Austria's best veteran troops.
Frederick the Great, according to the
records Of the command was so deeply
gratified with the victory that for a |
long time he did not know just what
means to adopt to show his apprecia-

THE CELEBRATION.

The weather was dark and threat
ening Thursday morning, October
3rd, and the sky was overcast with
clouds, which came from the north
east before the wind. Members of
Mozart Ioge, No. 80. assembled at
their hall at eight o'clock and the
procession was formed an hour
later and marched to the platform
with the Moulton band in the lead.
AAer the addresses the Assem- bled
crowds prepared to enjoy the days
festivities. Meanwhile, the weather
had become more threatening, and
in the afternoon many left for
home. About 2;30 u fine driz-
zling rain began falling and the
crowds were compelled to seek
shelter in the stores and elsewhere.
Dancing began, at Cordes' hall and
at the O. D. II. S. Hall and con-
tinued until the weather cleared up
considerably, when the band re-
paired to the platform. There were
present from Sinner Louis Ehlers,
II Huebner, Nick Hess, Nick
Brod, Louis Bender and others.
Charles Kaiser came up from Yoa-
kun and VIM Wehman from
Scharlottenburg. Flatonia and
Whiting were both represented. We
met our old friend Mr. II. w. Cook,
Of Whiting, on the grounds. The
rain was a serious hinderance. 1t
was to be regretted that the Her
mann Soehne could not have n good
day for their celebration. Barring
the weather, however, the celebra-
tien was a grand success. The rain
set in over the country about ten
o'clock and fell all might in a slow,
steady driZzle.

under his arm; the other passed
through his right lung and came
cut close to the backbone. Medical
assistance was called with haste
and strong hopes are entertained
for his recovery. Although his
wounds are bad, they may not be
fatal. Several posses are out
securing the country, and the sher
ifs of surrounding counties have
been notified. The Mexican was
riding roam horse branded G on
the thigh. Dick Alexander and
Fisher Martin were with Tom when
he was shot and fired several shots
at the Mexican, but ON account of
the darkness and shadoY, of the
trees thsy failed to hit him. A
great deal of excitemeut was caused
by the shooting, and the citizsns
are talking of telling the Mexicons
to move out. as this is the second
one of Kenedy's citizens to get shot
down inside Of two months by the
Mexicans.
a meeting of citizens was called
yesterday to devise means of re-
moving the Mexicans who have To-
Gated without authority in town

The Mexicans do not in any par
