SEIT is now known and has been
publicly stated on the floor of the Sen
ate that if war had been forced three
or four weeks ago, the United States
would not have been fully prepared.
1t is not now ready, but the vigorous
measures which have been put into
peIation in the last few weeks have
achieved most desirable results. There
is still, however, considerable ammuni-
tion and other supplies on the way to
this country or in process of manutac-
ture, and few days more time is al
most essential from the smilitary and
naval point of view" The foregoing
from the Washington Post, of April
18th, is of itself sufficient reply to the
criticisms which have been made upon
President McKinleys action in regard
10 our relations with Spain, and is only
one of series of facts which the public
Is now beginning to recognize as the
true cause of what many were inclined
TO look upon as unnecessary delay or
desire to avoid definite action.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.
william j. Tulley May Have Met with
Foul Play.


William j.. Tulley, the agent for the
Singer sewing machine in Kenosha, is
missing and his friends fear that he has
been foully dealt with. A week ago
today he went to Chicago and expected
TO return in the evening. Since that
time nothing has been heard of him
and the most careful search in Chicago
fails to reveal anything of his where
abouts. When he left this city be had
about $50 on bis person, as well as
iewelry, which was ratt er valuable
Tulley is member OF the Knights of
Pvthias and the members Of the lodge
are doing everything in their power to
discover something that will lead to
the discovery Of the missing man. At
first it was feared that he might be IN
some financial difficulties, but his
books have been carefully examined
and are found to be in an excellent
condition with Il balance due him from
the Singer company. The Knights
now think that he certainly has met
with foul play and the best Chicago
detectives have been placed ON the
case. While he lived in Kenosha he
roomed with family named Mahaney,
but inquiry there fails to reveal any
thing that will lead to the explanation
of the mystery. They, however, say
that Tulley was a man OF excellent
habits apd has always been known as a
perfect gentleman.

The dog poisoner was out on the
North side Friday and according to
reports some twenty of the CANNES are
stiff and cold in death. Just who did
the work is hard to tell, but the people
of that section of the city discussed the
matter in such boisterous way that a
neighborly scrap was narrowly averted
and it is said that in one or two
instances the parties did come to blows.
No arrests have as yet been made, but
it is said that the police courts will
have some stirring times on this &C.

A GREAT SURPRISE.

Miss Maggie King is Married in Water
bury Connecticut.
News was received in this city today
announcing the marriage of Miss Mag
gle King, one of the best known ladies
of Kenosha to JUstus Eugene Grant,
which occurle at Preble, n Z, this
afternoon. The news of the
marriage will be a great surprise to
the friends of the contracting parties
in this city.
The marriage marks the end of a
romance which required several years
for its solution. Some time ago the
young people were great friends and it
was understood by their friends that
they were engaged to be married.
Shortly after this time, however, Mr..
Grant met with serious accident,
which resulted in his lo0sing one of his
legs. On this account it was thought
that the engagement had been
broken off. This seems not
to have been the case and
the marriage makes happy explana-
ton of the whole affair.
1t is not known where Mr.. and Mrs.
Grant will make their future home, but
their friends in KenOsha extend best
wishes for long life of happiness.

McKinley's War Record

The young men of the country now
volunteering by the thousands have an
inspiring example before them in
President McKinley's war record. The
same patriotic ardor that animates the
youth of the land at the present time
sailed young Mckinley into the ranks
of the Union army shortly after the
Civil war broke out. Enlisting in
June, 1861, at the early age of IL, be
passed through the entire war, coming
out with The rank Of major The off
eial records bear witness to the eff
cheney of the young soldier. Entering
the army as a private, June IL, 1861,
he was promoted to commissary SER
geant, April Is, 1862; next to second
lieutenant, Sept %, 1862; tten to first
lieutenant, Feb 7, 1868; to captain
IDLY g. 1864; subsequently, detailed as
acting assistant adjutant general of the
First division, First Army corps on the
staff of Gen. Carroll, being brevetted
major March Is, 1865. He was in
active service during the entire period
and bore himself with such gallantry
that he is made the subject Of the fol
lowing special mention by an historian
in a description Of the battle of Win
chester:
When it became necessary to fall
back it was discovered that one OF the
regiments was still at the point where
it was posted at the beginning OF the
battle. Gen. Hayes, turning to Lieut..
Mckinley, directed him to go and
bring away the regiment if it had not
already fallen back. Mckinley turned
his horse and keenly spurred it, push
ing at fierce gallop obliquely toward
che advancing enemy. A sad look
came over Gen. Hayes face as he saw
this gallant young boy push rapidly
forward to almost certain death. None
of us expected to see him again as he
pushed his horse through the open
helds, over fences, over bitches, while
ell-directed fire from the enemy was
poured upon him, with shells explod-
ing around, about and over him. Once
he was completely enveloped in the
smoke of an exploding shell, and we
thought he had gone down, but out of
this smoke emerged his wiry little
brown horse with Mckinley still firmly
seated as erect as hussar He
reached the regiment and gave the
order to fall back. The colonel in re-
ply said: am ready to GO wherever
you shall lead, but, lieutenant, l be-
lieve l ought to give those fellows a
volley or two before | CO."
McKinley's reply was: Then up and
at them as quickly as possible" and on
orders the regiment arose, gave the
enemy a crushing volley, followed with
a rattling fire, and then slowly retreat
ed under McKinley's lead toward Win
chester. AS Mckinley drew up by the
side of Hayes after bringing the regi-
ment to the brigade, Gen. Hayes said:
"McKinley, [ never expected to see
you in life again"
it is we'll to note Mr.. McKinley's
record for bravery and efficiency in our
last war, both because it illustrates the
fine quality of American citizenship
and especially because of the added
confidence it must produce in the chief
officer Of the army and navy during the
present war. -MilWaukee Sentinel.

THE contrast between the financial
condition of the country today and
that when it fairly entered upon the
war in 1862, is strongly marked.
Then the money in circulation was less
than $3.50, 100000, or one-fifth of what
it is today and the amount per capita
$l0.y6 against 1886 per capita today,
as shown by the latest statement of
the Treasury Department. The money
in circulation is more than double
today what it was in April, 1870, while
the fact that the latest report of the
Comptroller of the Currency shows
larger sums on deposit in the National
banks than ever before in the history
of the country indicates that the peo-
pie are in condition to respond to calls
for loans to the Government should
occasion require such call. Official
reports of the Government also show
the deposits in savings banks to be in
amount greater than any other period
in the history of the country.
