THE WHiPPOORWlLl.

Listen how the whippoorwill,
From his song bed yelled and dusky.
Fills the night ways warm and musky
With his music's throb and thrill.
'Tis the western nightingale,
Lodged within the orchards pale,
Starting into sudden tune
Mid the amorous air Of June.
Lord Of all the songs Of night,
Bird unseen, of voice outright,
Buried in the sumptuous gloom
OF his shadow paneled room,
Rooted above by webbed n woven
Leaf and bloom. by moonbeams cloven.
Searched by odorous zephyrs through,
Dim with dusk and damp with dew.
He 1t is that makes the night
Ar enchantment and delight,
Opening his enhancing tale
Where the evening robins fail,
Ending the victorious strain
When the robins sing again.

Milwaukee, Wis, May 21.-After an

BEATEN BY STUDENTS.
John j. Schneck Attacked by Three
Men While on His Way
Home.

Appleton, Wis, May 20.-[Special.i-
While going home from an entertain
ment last evening John j. Schneck of
Lawrence university was set upon by
three men, whose faces were concealed
by handkerchiefs, and was severely
beaten. The assault occurred on lower
College avenue, where a dense shade
makes the street quite dark and there is
little night travel.
Schneck battled manfully with his as
sailants and his cries for help brought
out a nearby dweller, who fastened to
the rescue. After a sharp skirmish the
assailants fled, but were pursued and
one was captured and fully identified as
a student of the college. The handker-
chief mask was torn from the face of
another and was found to be marked
with the full name of another student.
No cause is known for the assault, Tin
less it was caused by feeling growing
out Of the recent anti-drill movement,
originated by few malcontents in the
school and strenuously opposed by the
majority of the students.
Schneck is second lieutenant of Co. A,
of the cadet battalion, but no complaints
of his bearing as an officer have ever
been made That the assault on
Schneck was deliberately planned is
proved by the fact that on Monday night
he was called to the home of Prof. I1um-
mis- in the same neighborhood by a lecoy
letter purporting to have been sent by
the professor While in the house dis
cussing. the matter with Prof. Lummis,
Schneck heard noise in the shrubbery
and upon going out saw someone run
ming away with his bicycle. On his ap-
pearance the thief dropped the bicycle
and made his escape without being iden-
tilted. Schneck is considerably bruised
about the face from the blows Of his
assailants and his whole body is sore
from the kicks he received, but he is
able to attend his classes today.
A faculty meeting is being held todey
to inquire into the affair and the perpe-
traitors of the outrage will be summarily
dealt with.

a bus service, which will run on regular
time and on the same streets as the

whenever they had load, and people
who used to protest vigorously If a car
was delayed thirty seconds will now
wait meekly half hour until bus fills

Farwell avenue line, where most of the
passengers are carried. Several cars on

Merchants Take a Hand.
Steps were taken on Thursday to put
an end to the boycotting of banks and

at which it was decided to call meet
ing of the 400 members of the organ
ization for next Saturday afternoon.
1t is expected that energetic measures
to end the boycott will be taken at this
gathering. The ball was started rolling
by the commission merchants. Nineteen
of them signed a statement, which reads
as follows: "The undersigned, While
expressing no opinion as to differences
between the street railway company
and it's former employees, nevertheless
emphatically assert our right and that

their omnibus service, and have asked

city held back $1,000 to pay the claims of
Portage creditors, in accordance with a
