HELP FOR The FIFTH REGIMENT.

Capt J. J. FulkersOn, Of Company X,
Fifth Missouri Volunteers, suggests that
Lafayette county be represented in the
good work of helping the regiment. The
work is a good one, aud Kansas City has
already taken hold OF 1t.
When q soldier is sick he is we'll cared
for, but as soon as he becomes GONZALES
cent be Is sent back to his company, to
live on fat meat, beans, hard tack and
coffee. 10 the majority of cases the man
becomes sick again. The question is:
"How to care for the couvalescents."
The Fifth regiment has established a
'conyaloscent Tent" or q place whore
convalescents can be cared for until they
are we'll enough to 60 back to company
quarters. This experiment has already
cost the officers Of thu regiment a consid.
cradle sum. 1t is absolutely necessary
that the convalescents be cared for, and II
costs something to do 1t.
We feel sure that Lexington will do he
share to help the "Convalescent Hos
pital." A call will be made upon on
people today, and we hope the committe'
will be welcomed by all, and that thos
who can give will give quickly and cheer
fully.
Missouri's sick soldiers will be brough
home when able to travel, II they desir
to come, but there will always be oth'
soldiers getting sick, and they must |
! cared for. Let us show our appreciate
, , Of the sacrifices these men have mad
, and Of the greater sacrifices they we
willing to make. A little help now ms
: save many valuable lives.
A list of the donors will be PUBLISH
In the city papers, and will be Ike
standing as long as there lie any need I
this purpose.

PIONEERS WILL MEET.
Semi-CentenniaI Celebration to be
Held Next Summer Near
Kaukauna.

Kaukauna, Wis, March 5.-[SpeciaI. /
The meeting which was held at Little
Chute to awaken interest in the iftieth
anniversary of the settlement of the Hol-
landers was an unqualified success. All
were enthusiastic over the project. Martin
Weyenberg called the meeting to order,
and as it was the wish OF those present,
he acted as chairman. John kilsdOnk was
made secretary. A temporary committee
was appointed to issue a call for the next
meeting, which was fixed for March IL at
2 O'Clock in the afternoon.
Secretary kilSdonk is to send special
invitation to each old settler. He has a
list of over fifty who moved here in the
year 1913, a majority of whom are now
living in other cities and towns, not far
removed, however.
1t is proposed to get every one possible
in this region to attend this meeting, at
which it is expected the permanent COM
mittees will be named and a line of action
decided upon. The celebration proposed is
to begin June 13 and continue for one
week, with appropriate exercises each day.
There is proposition in view to organize
at this time an old settlers club.

were not supposed to be in any way con-
cerned in the investigation. 1t may be
shown, it is said, that certain gentlemen
of wealth and high standing aided and
abetted the investigation in the hope of
injuring a prisoner formerly prominent in
the business world whom they are fol-
lowing beyond the prison walls.
At the time of the investigation the
prisoner himself expressed the opinion
that his enemies We're taking hand in it,
but not much attention was paid to his
opinion since every prisoner thinks he is
being prosecuted and attaches Importance
to matters that other people would not
notice. Now it is said there is evidence
to show that his view of the case was
correct.
How much may come out in the trial
and how many other people may be prose-
cuted will depend upon circumstances.
For the present only Mr.. Ellsworth will
be arrested. 1t is reported that the state
board of control has secured some very
interesting evidence to be produced on the
trial

EXONERATES ROBERTS.
Board OF Control Meets and Con-
siders an Important
Matter.

Madison, Wis, March 4.-[Special. i
The board of control met here today for
the purpose of completing its report on
the Waupun prison investigation and for
warding it to the governor. The report
was written by Judge Lyon and was
adopted by the board. Gov. Scofeld is
out of the city today and the report will
not be given out for publication until he
returns tomorrow.
The members of the board will not dis
cuss the report, but those who followed
the testimony taken at Waupun are salts
fed that it will completely exonerate
Warden Roberts. 1t is believed that it
will also suggest some changes to make
fake Investigations less likely to be start
ed.
The district attorney of Dodge county is
here to talk with the board concerning the
proposed prosecution of the people who
were guilty of conveying letters in and OUT
Of prison contrary to the rules. 1t is re-
ported that evidence has been discovered
which will make it easy to convict the
parties concerned, and it is said that peo-

Man Accused Of the Murder Of
Peter jacobson Eludes the
Officers.

Ashland, Wis, March 5.-[Special.l-
Although it is a week today since the
murder and cremation of Peter jacobson
it is not certain yet that the murderer
has been captured. Last night another
suspect, giving his name as Antoine Bar
wick, was captured in this city. His APP
pearance closely tailed with that of the
murderer and when he was put in the
sweatbox by the Ashland police and sher-
ifs force this morning, the officers were
quite positive that they had the right
man but at noon today an important wit
ness, who saw the murderer a few min
utes after the murder, failed to identify
him. He will be taken TO Washburn
for further Identification. A number of
suspects, arrested in different parts of
the state have been discharged.
This morning Chief of Police Tanner
received a telegram from CashtOn that Il
tramp closely resembling the description
of the murderer was arrested last night
and will be held. Thursday evening an
officers posse tracked a man on to the
ice at Lake Superior. Officers who left
to attempt to track him across the lake
have not been heard from. In order to
reach Two Harbors the fugitive would
have to travel fully seventy-tiye miles on
the ice and would be more than liable to
perish before getting across. Officers on

located at Mt. Pleasant. He had won
the good will of everyone in the university
and had made unexpected progress in his
department.
Two years ago a movement was made
by large number of Lieut.. Kalk' S
friends in Wisconsin to have him appoint
ed military instructor at our State uni
verslty. and a number of the regents
were very anxious to have him selected,
but for some reason he failed. Lieut..
halk was a son of G.. f. kalk, for many
years prominent in business circles at
Fond du Lac, but who the past fourteen
years has resided at Cumberland, Wis.
Two years ago he was the Democratic
candidate for railroad commissioner.
Charles Kalk. a graduate of the State
university and prominent in the civil en-
gineering department of the Wisconsin
Central the pas. six or eight years, is a
brother of the lieutenant. Six or seven
years ago Lieut.. Kalk married Miss
Flora Stanton. daughter of Brig. Gen.
Stanton, paymaster-general of the United
States army. He leaves a widow and
two children. Lieut.. Kalk was 30 years
of age.

'WithroW Of Mount Pleasant, went to
burlington on Friday to attend perform
ance at the Grand Opera house that night,
1t being their intention to catch the train
for Mount Pleasant at lilo after the per-
Torrance. They missed the train and
then concluded to take a way freight leav-
ing at $50 Il. ~, which they attempted
to board as it passed crossing. Lieut..
kalk swung on to the front platform of
the way car, but missed his footing and
was dragged thirty feet and then run over
by the car, his body being completely cut
III two.
The mutilated body was taken to Mount

RUSSIA is ACTIVE.
Plans for Increased Naval Facil-
tiles Being Drawn in
United States.

Philadelphia, Pa, March THE North
American this morning publishes the fol-
lowing:
w lille the attention of the public dur
ing the recent war scare has been for the
present time diverted from the Cramp
shipyard to League island, yet it is safe
to assert that the Kensington firm Of
shipbulders is at this moment on the eve
of securing foreign contract of sensa-
tiOnal proportions.
although the members of the firm
maintain the utmost secrecy on the sub
ject, yet it is q fact that during the week
just passed a force of draughtsmen has
been working on plans and estimates al
most continuously.
THE plans and estimates, it is said are
being drawn up for the considerable of a
foreign power, and include a first-class
shipyafd such as operated by the Cramps,
besides several battleships and cruisers.
Although the name of the foreign
power is being kept a secret, it is general
ly understood by those in a position to
know that the plans and estimates will
eventually find their way to Russia. This
is the more readily apparent in view of
the fact that all signs on the European
horizon point cOnclusiveiy to q war be-
tween Japan and Russia in the near fu-
ture.
Japan realizes that Russia is making
dangerous entertainments in China. where
she herself should enjoy the fruits Of
victory. Russia on the other hand will
not recede. hence war with Japan seems
inevitable"
Berlin, March THE Tageblatt today
publishes a dispatch from Pekin saying
China has agreed to lease Port Arthur
and Ia Lien Wan to Russia for ninety
