Offer of Humane Society.

Referring to the offer Of the Washington
Humane Society to take charge of the local
pound service, made to the Commissioners
last Saturday, Mr.. Wight stated that the
Commissioners have not yet considered the
matter. He paid Poundmaster Einstein
quite a compliment, expressing tt opinion
that Mr.. Einstein has during his twenty
five years of service as poundmaSter per-
formed his work not only to the entire sat
isfactior of the Commissioners, but also in
a considerate and humane manner. AL
though. said Mr.. Wight the annual reve-
nue. from pound fees and the dog tax Is
between $4,000 and 10000, every penny of
it has to be deposited in the treasury of the
United States, subject to appropriations
made only by Congress. Hardly year has
passed, continued Mr.. Wight, that the
poundmaster and the Commissioners have
not invited the attention of Congress to
the inadequate facilities at the pound and
asked for sufficient funds with which to
provide such buildings, pens and service
as should prevail in the capital city Of the
nation.
I'VE are doing and have been doing the
very best we cam said Mr.. Wight, with
the facilities and funds at our disposal,
and while there have been, no doubt in
stances of neglect and cruelty, I am posi-
tive that neither the spoundrnaster nor the
Commissioners have. knowingly permitted
either"

An embargo has been placed upon the
cigarette in the weather bureau service of
the United States. Chief Willis L. Moore
has issued an order absolutely prohibiting
the smoking of cigarettes during office
hours and going further to state that en-
ployes who smoke at all. off duty or on,
will be mentioned In the confidential re-
ports received by him from the chiefs of
divisions and officers throughout the coun-
try. Chief Moore expresses his views on
the subject very plainly declaring that in
many instances lax work and neglect has
been traced to the source of cigarette smok-
Ing. Pipes and cigars he does not bar but
the insidious cigarette he says must 20 for
good and all. 1t is said he has the Ioyal

fact that the clerks and employees are likely
to complain of an order affecting their per
sonal habits outside of office hours.

NOT BE RESCINDED
The Order for Muzzling Dogs Required by
Act of Congress.
Statement by Health Officer Wood
ward to the Com misstoners-Cases
of Rabies Investigated.

DR.. VIM. c. Woodward, the District
missioners statement showing that since
January l. 1900, up to and including the
24th instant, seventeen dogs found in the
District have been reported as suffering
from symptoms resembling those of rabies.
In each instance, states DR.. Woodward,
the body Of the animal has been submitted
to the bureau of animal industry of the
Agricultural Department for examination.
Reports have been received in ten cases,
showing that the diagnosis was correct
that is, that the animal in each instance
ing seven cases no report has yet been
received.
THE fact says the health officer, that
no negative reports have been received,
does not indicate that every dog examined
was found not to be suffering from rabies
II the results of the examinations are pos
tive, a report can be promptly made, but
if they are negative il is necessary to wait
a considerable length of time in order to
be sure that their negative character is not
due simply to waiting too brief a period
for the reaction"
This report, it is understood is consid-
cred by the Commissioners to indicate that
rabies among dogs here has not vet been
stamped out, and, therefore. it is not be-
ueVed that their order requiring all dogs
when at large to be securely muzzed so
as to prevent the animals from swapping
or biting, VIII be rescinded in the near
future Certainly not, it is said, until the
expiration of the six months during which
1t is provided it shall remain in force. This
period will not expire until early next

Speaking of the matter today to a re-
porter of The Star, Commissioner Wight
stated that, judging from the complaints
which continue to be made by the dog
owners Of the District, it would seem that
they still appear to be of the mistaken be-
lief that the Commissioners alone are re-
sponsible for their order, whereas the Com
missoners have, when officially informed
that rabies exists here, no discretion in the
matter, the law, an act of Congress, man
datory in character requiring them to is
sue such order and strictly enforce it.
The first official announcement of the ex-
istence in the District of this disease, ex-
planned Mr.. Wight, was made by the Sec
rotary Of Agriculture, the second being
made to the Commissioners by the health
officer of the District. Neither official has
yet announced the disappearance of the dis
ease, and although he did not specifically
so state, Mr.. Wight intima ted. that until
such official announcement is made to them
the muZzle order will remain in force, I'M
less the law requiring it be meantime re-
pealed.

and few years ago the lines of the
company were leased to the Western
Union Telegraph Company.
Mr.. Simmons completed the con-
struction of the old Kenosha and Rock
ford Railway and later closed the deal
whereby the road became part of the
North Western system. Mr.. Simmons
is President of the First National
Bank, of the Simmons Manufacturing
Company, of the Pixies Peak Railway
Company, of Colorado, and of the
Davy Clay Ballast Company.
Mr.. Simmons in his long and active
career has amassed fortune but it
has not in any way been used selfshly.
Nearly every public institution in
Kenosha has received aid from him
and many of the churches have been
largely built by his munificient gifts.

ment. It is of a Corinthian design,
and the most beautiful building in the
city. It has but one floor, the entire
center of the building being used as a
memorial hall to revere the memory of
Gilbert M. Simmons, a son of Mr..
Simmons, now deceased.
The interior of the memorial hall is
constructed entirely of white marble,
brought direct from Italy. The
marble used in this hall is said to have
been imported at cost of over fifty
thousand dollars. Next to the memo
rial hall is the large reading room,
which is quite as 1uxuriousin construc-
ton. The walls of the room are COW
cred half way up with Siena marble,
the hues of the marble blending with
the decorations of the ceiling, which
is done in red and blue and gold. The
most delicate tints have been used in
the completion of the mural decora-
tons, and the whole presents picture
of rare beauty. In the other part of
the building are large fire proof stock
rooms, offering room for the shelving
of several hundred thousands of vol
un1es of books.
The basement is as complete as the
main floors, and it has a complete
bindery, a hall for the use of the Ke-
nosha Woman's Club and various
others rooms needed in the library.
About the entire building is a plaza
of twenty feet in width, and leading
up to it from every side are wide walks
of concrete. Before the Library is
formally turned over to the city Mr..
Simmons has arranged for identifying
the park, and making it fit place for
the location of such beautiful build

Regiment Recall Memories at
ST. Georges Hall.
MANY SURVIVORS PRESENT
Resolutions Are Passed Extending Thanks
and Congratulations of the Regi-

AS fitting finale to the great cele-'

Soldiers monument the surviving
members of the famous Twenty-sixth
regiment of Wisconsin Volunteers met
in annual reunion at St. George hall,
in this city, last evening. Recalling
the memories of the past-the days of
long and tedious marches, the battle
fields of the South and the glorious
victories for the Union-the sixty-six
survivors of the noble band sat around
the festa1 board.
There was no formal program carried
out in connection with the entertain
rnent as the fact that old comrade could
grasp the hand of comrade was suffi-
cient to make the reunion a success.

Central Park, a massive shaft OF grey
granite, standing over seventy-five
feet above the level of the park.
The monument was designed by
d. H. Burnham, who designed the
buildings for the Worlds Columbian
Exposition, but the work of the famous
Italian Sculptor, Deco, has greatly
enhanced the beauty of the completed
work
The monument stands directly in
front Of the entrance to the Gilbert
NJ. Simmons Memorial Library, pre-
scented to the city by Mr.. Simmons,
and the two form a monument not
only to the memory of the brave men
who laid down their lives for the coun-
try, but also memorial of the munif-
cence of Kenosha's most honored citi-
zen. The monument is grand in its
simp1icity-a pure Corinthian column,
rising from base of white granite,
with paved streets leading TO it from
all sides.
The approaches consist of four steps,
eight buttresses and four settees. The
lower course is circular in form, and
thirty-six feet in diameter. From the
approaches to the great base of the
column the monument is octagonaI in
shape, consisting of two bases, eleven
feet and six inches in diameter, also
die six feet six inches, and cap stone
of eight feet in diameter.
The mass of granite forms base
on which rests the magnificent shaft
of granite, rising to a height of
twenty eight feet, and being the
largest single piece of granite ever
brought into the state of Wisconsin.
The shaft is a huted column, CORE
spending with the other Corinthian
architecture of the monument it has
circumference of four feet at the
bottom, tapering to three feet at the
top. Above the column is the capital
stone six feet square, and on top of
this cap rises the browning figure of
the monument-an categorical statue
of winged victory, holding out the re-
wards of the victor, the wreath and the
crown. The browning figure is twelve
! feet in height.

But the Soldiers Monument is not

the same time as the unwilling of the
Soldiers monument, Mr.. Simmons
will present to the city magnificent
public library, equipped with library
of twenty-five thousand volumes. The
library has just been completed, and
without a book being purchased it has
cost the donor a little over $50, 900. 1t

which IS west, with it's unreasonable
possibilities, offered to those who were
willing to dare the hardships of the
pioneer life, in order that they might
conquer fortune.
He set out by boat for Lake County,
ILL.,, landing at Southport, now Keno
sha, June 18th, 1843.
His early education was found in the
but his main education was found in
meeting the difficulties of life and
conquering them.
When he was of age he secured
position as a clerk, in a store owned
by Seth Doan, one of the pioneer mer-
chants of the city, and it was while in
the employ of the little country store
that Mr.. Simmons first developed that
courage, tenacity and strength of
character, that has made him doml-
mating factor in many of the most
successful enterprises which have
marked the growth of the West during
the last half century. After he had
been in the store for short time he
entered into business for himself and
twelve years later he had earned suf-
fcient to be the principle factor in the
business world of Kenosha.
In 1856 Mr.. Simmons bought half
interest in the old Wisconsin Tele-
graph company and at once became its
President and manager. Under his
guidance the company became enc OF
the largest companies in the country
