Is there somewhere in boundless space
A perfect world, grand Celestial place,
ponderous Central Sun, whose glorious light
Shining affair the Universe makes bright,
A mighty Orb around which move
Suns, systems, planets, worlds, as in groove,
Held to set course as on through space they go
1t may be true, we do not know
Is there God, Being good and wise,
Omnipotent, omniscient, and whose eyes
Can see to spaces most remotest bounds,
Whose ears can hear afar the faintest sounds.
Has he body, parts and form like ours,
But perfect both in form and mental powers;
Doth he take count of mortals here, below!
We cannot tell-We do not know
When from our frame the vital spark has fled,
And that in which it dwelt lies cold and dead,
Where is the spirit which the clay once thrilled!
Does it die too-Is it forever stilled!
Does death end all-Is Immortality
hope dream, nonreaity,
Or shall we live again-It may be so
We fondly hope-but, we do not know.
But this we know, still small voice within
Admonishes us to shun the ways of sin,
And to the voice of Reason give good heed
Obediently following whittier She doth lead,
That they who really desire more light
Must strive to do what they believe is right:
Abstain from wrong if they desire to find
True happiness and perfect peace of mind.

PLAN LARGER SHOW
Milwaukee Auto Association Forced to
Secure Larger Quarters

The original plans Of the Milwau-
kee Automobile Club for the first annu-
al Milwaukee auto show, while embody-
ing one of the largest expositions of
the kind ever held outside Of New
York or Chicago, have been changed
SO that the show will be even greater
than before, and assure show that
will compare with any Of the big shows
of the world.
1t was planned to use only the open
floor space of the big Hippodrome for
exhibiting automobiles, and the balcony
for accessories, tires and the like.
The rush of applications for space,
however, has forced the club to devote
most Of the balcony to show cars and
the building will be altered and addi-
lions built to take care of all the ac-
cessory exhibits.
The show will be held from Thurs
day afternoon, March II, to Saturday
night, March Is.

Postmaster MaIoney's Appoint.
ment Confirmed and Commits.
sion Will Be Issued Soon
EXPECT INCREASE IN FORCE
New Clerks and Carriers Will Probably
be Added to the Employees of
the Kenosha Office Within
the Next Few Months

Postmaster John B. Maloney has re-
ceived notification from Washington
that his re-appointment as postmaster
for Kenosha has been confirmed by the
senate and his new term of four years
is scheduled to begin at noon on Feb.
8. This is a little unusual as it was
supposed that the date of the begin
ming of the new term would not be
earlier than the first Of April. Post
master Maloney took hold Of the Office
four years ago April / and it was ex-
pected that the new term would natur-
ally begin at that date. The postmas-
ter has been directed to file his bond
as postmaster at once and as soon as
the bond is fled the new commission
will be issued to him. Under the rul-
ing of the department Mr. Maloney
has already begun the service Of his
second term in the office. The matter
Of filing the bond is a mere technical
matter and there is no doubt but that
the commission will be received with
in the next few days.
The postmaster has announced that
there will be no change in the make
up Of the official force at the office.
Michael f. Zens, who was named as
assistant postmaster at the time of the
resignation of Charles B. Reinardy,
will continue in this office. No re-
appointment Of the assistant postmas-
ter was necessary.
The office Of assistant postmaster is
the only office in the gift Of the post
master, all of the other employees Of
the Office being under the civil service
and the appointments Of these men are
provided for by the department. How
ever, there will be no changes at this
time and no changes will be made until
the force Of the Office is SO enlarged as
to provide for the advancement of some
Of the clerks who have been working
in the office for years
Postmaster Maloney has started his
second term with a request for an i'm
provement of the service in Kenosha
and it is expected that this will meet
with a response from the postmaster
general within short time. There
are now men on the eligible list for
both clerks and carriers and it is ex-
pected that some new men will be add
ed to the force for this work within
a short time. The office has grown
wonderfully during the past four years
and taking up his Office for the new
term Postmaster Maloney is forced to
meet many new conditions. The imme-
date demand is for an extension Of
the carrier districts and it is expected
that this will be arranged for within
the next few months.

WOULDN'T SPLIT DIFFERENCE
Wolgast Still Shys at Weight Proposi-
tion With frankie Conley

Ad Wolgast is still fighting shy of a
go with frankie Conley, the Kenosha
Italian, and in telegram received by
the manager Of Conley on Thursday
Wolgast gives it as an ultimatum that
he will be willing to weigh in at half
past four o'clock in the afternoon.
Giles, who is managing the battle for
Conley, insists that the men weigh in
at six clock and it looks as if the
negotiations would not result in any
agreement being reached for a battle
between the two light weights. VOL
CAST is in Los Angeles just at present
and one of the clubs there is anxious
to stage the fight with Conley, but it
IS not thought that Wolgast will agree
to any reasonable conditions. The
hackers of Conley are ready and will
ing to put up any reasonable side bet
and they will concede every thing but
the weight proposition to Wolgast.

TO CUT STUDENT FEES
Bill introduced in the Legislature
May Relieve Them of Ex.
pense of University :
MUST BE RESIDENT ONE YEAR

If bill introduced in the legislature
by Senator Marsh becomes a law, the
University Of Wisconsin income will
be cut down something like $114,0oO.
This sum would have to be made IN
from other sources.
Senator Marsh's bill provides that
any student, after acquiring a year s
residence in Wisconsin which. of
course, would be the result at the end
of the freshman year, need not paw
tuition fees These fees for the year
ending last June amounted to about
$4,000 and with special fees, such as
laboratory, gymnasium, special agricul-
tural college fees and others, aggre-
gated $148,S30, It has been a require
ment that a, student in the College Of
Letters and Sciences should pay at the
beginning of each semester $40, while
engineering students paid $15. The
Marsh bill cuts these fees off begin
ming with a student s sophomore year.
He does not suggest just how the diff
ference would be made up.
Senator Lockney has put in bill
which will make Wisconsin a fertile
field for the organization of insur-
ance companies writing surety bonds,
plate glass insurance, burglary insur-
ance, credit insurance, accident insur-
ance and title guaranty insurance It
amends the present statutes so that
five men instead Of fifteen, as now pro-
vided, may organize such a company
and cuts the capital to $4,000 from
100000, as now required. This capt.
talization would permit the writing of
any one kind Of casualty insurance and
additional $4,000 is asked by the bill
for the writing of each one Of the
other classes. Heretofore, the require
ment has been $4,000 for each class.
The bill, if passed, would permit the
organization of an insurance company
writing six kinds of casualty insur-
ance for $4,000 in capitalization. The
present law would require for the same
incorporation, a total capital of $780,
000

WILL PROBE CHARGES
Senator Fairchild and Assemblyman
Cleary to Investigate Charges

Senator E. T. Fairchild of Milwau-
kee and Assemblyman M. J. Cleary of
Lafayette county have been named as
the legislators to carry out the provi-
sions OF the governors special message
asking that M. w. Waite's charges
against Insurance Commissioner Bee
die and the insurance department be
investigated by the legislature They
were appointed Thursday as a sub
committee by Chairmen Owen and Ku-
basta OF the senate and assembly COM
mittees on banking and insurance.
With the beginning of work on what
Mr.. Waite promised would be start
ling expose of methods in vogue in the
insurance department comes the infor-
nation that the probe will not disclose
any extremely startling conditions. It
is said even now that enough of an in
quiry has been made to discount in
large measure the charges of the form
er deputy who made his accusations
after losing his position in the capitol.
The investigation by Messrs. Fairchild
and Cleary is not expected to consume
more than ten days or two weeks at
the most. They will report to the two
committees and then the bodies will
make their report to the legislature
with recommendations It is said that
the report will recommend that certain
practices that have held in the past be
discontinued, but so far as shady acts
and fragrant ignoring of, the law are
concerned it is understood the commit
tee will show that these charges have
been much exaggerated
The committee will direct it's
chief attention toward the charges that
outside insurance committees have
been licensed in Wisconsin without the
examination prescribed by law. They
will look particularly into the livestock
lnsuring concern Of Washington and
ascertain whether it was or was not
admitted when in what was said to be
a bankrupt state. The two members
of the committee held brief meeting
Thursday night at which they framed
plans for their inquiry and before the
weeks end they will begin their work
in the insurance department. Commits
sioner Beedle has placed all records at
their disposal and is seeking to facili-
tate the work as much as possible.

DAY OF HAND CAR is PAST

The Chicago and Northwestern COM
pany will shortly discard the old hand
car that has so long been in use to
convey section men and carry sup
plies in the construction and repair
ing the track and right-of-way. The
company has let contract for sixty
eight motor cars and as soon as they
can be delivered they will take the
place of the hand car.
The sixty eight new motor cars are
expected to do the work over their
entire system. 1t will reduce the time
of conveying the section men to and
from their work, enable the men to
cover a. larger amount of territory
and curtail expenses in many ways.

MEN ARE BOTHERSOME
Horde of Ice Cutters Coming in From
the Lakes Cause Trouble

The police of the city are having a
lot of trouble these days on account
of the big gang Of men who have been
working on the ice fields in the western
part Of the county. The ice harvest
is over and these men have been turn
ed out of the big boarding houses about
the lakes and most Of them are out of
money. They are attempting to make
their way back to Chicago. Wednes-
day fifteen Of these men applied at the
county Jail for shelter and three others
were arrested by the police on charges
of intoxication. In most cases the
men have no money to pay fines and
they welcome arrest as way in which
to get their board for ten days. The
police officers have been ordered to
drive the men out Of the city as rapidly
as possible and Sheriff Gunter will aid
by not making the tramp room too
pleasant a rooming house.

KICK ON CARS
People on Pearl st. Protest Against
Freight Cars Being Lett on Street

Property owners on Pearl street are
circulating a. petition to be presented
to the Common Council asking that
some immediate steps be taken to force
the Northwestern Railway company to
discontinue the custom of leaving
freight cars on the switch tracks on
Pearl street. This matter has been be-
fore the Council before and ex-mayor
German took the matter up with the
officials of the Northwestern company,
but at that time the officials insisted
that there was no way to remedy the
trouble complained of. The property
owners declare that the storing of cars
on the street has become nuisance
and if the Council cannot force the
removal of them the matter will be
taken into the civil courts.

In a minute they were ready. AS

1t was pretty rough voyage.
They had dances, banquets and other

they went to bed early, because they
were tired out. The next morning the
sun was shining and the sea was a

because the boat rocked. In the
