Reed owns the land on both sides of
the river and claims that he owns it

BARABOO CITIZENS
SEE THE COMET
1T WILL GRADUALLY SINK To-
WARD THE SUN UNTIL THE
TAIL. TICKLES EARTH.

Mrs. J. w. Sutherland Tenth and
Crawford streets, reports that she has
seen Haley's comet. 1t is here at last.
Mrs. Sutherland says that the heaven
ly object is not SO conspicuous as the
one observed in the western sky last
winter Anyone who is willing to get
up about $3.50 in the morning and take
q look can see the comet as easily as
barn door.
The head is brilliant,-one of the
most luminous stars in the morning
sky. You don't have to know Just
where to look. Look east and you will
see it-if the sky is clear.
The tail is a streaming, gauzy flare of
vast length, twenty times the
diameter of the moon. 1t is straight
as the shaft from an electric search
light and until drowned by the on
coming sun is clearly and beautifully
visible. 1t will grow brighter rapidly
every morning and shortly should be
an astounding sky spectacle. Grad
ually the comet will again sink toward
the sun and on May Is will pass in
front of the sun, on which day the
earth will have the delightful SEN
sation of being tickled by the comets
tail.
After May Is the comet will reap
pear but this time in the west and for
few days will be especially brilliant.
But as it quickly recedes into space it
will grow dim and disappear.

CRAVE Of FIRST MAN
KILLED IN WAR FOUND

BALTIMORE, June 19.-After a
search of many years. the resting place
of the bones of Charles A. Taylor, a
soldier of the Sixth Massachusetts
regiment, reputed to have been the
first man killed in the Civil War, has
been definitely located.
The remains will be sent to Lowell,
Mass, and buried beneath the monu-
ment erected to the memory of Tay-
lor and the three others who fell with
hi I during the riot that marked the
passage of their regiment along Pratt
street, this city, on April 10, 1861. At
ter the riot Taylor's body was COM
pletely lost track of.
Some time ago. as "A last resort, ad-
vertisements were inserted in local pa
pers, one of which was seen by Sam
uel F. Glenn of this city. who pointed
out Taylor's grave in the old Meth
odist cemetery in this city. A board
at the head of the grave bears the
time dimmed inscription:
"A Soldier of the Sixth Massachu-
setts Regiment. Killed in Riot
This inscription is considered ample
identification, as the bodies of the
three others killed at the time have
long since been identified and buried
in Lowell.

DEATH UNSOLVED
BL|GHT'S SUBJECT
Man in Spirit Holds all Rational
Philosophy, Declares Fellow
ship Minister
FORM CONSTANTLY CHANGES
"BeSt Preparation for immortal
ity Is to Live Like an
immortal"

Ever since the naked savage knelt
in blind anguish over the lifeess body
of his mate and gazed into the mys-
terry of death, the question of future
life has been of transcendent interest
to man. and it will continue to chal-
lenge his profoundest thought and
most insistent investigation until the
veil has been lifted and life beyond
death is revealed to human knowl-
edge" declared Reynold e. Blight,
minister of the Los Angeles Fellow
ship, yesterday morning. I'VE may
gain an ever increasing control over
nature, may extend mans power be-
yond the widest dreams, may make
mundane life beautiful and luxurious,
but so long as the problem of death
remains unsolved man will feel him
self poor and weak.
Man has held many conceptions of
immortality, from the crude, Grass,
materialistic heaven of literal golden
streets to the beautiful poetic and phil
osophical conception of George Eliot's
Choir Invisible Sad beyond the
pathos of language is the condition of
love kissing the pallid lips of DEATH
without nope.
ali rational philosophy conceives
of man as spirit; definitions may differ,
the fact remains. Spirit is not sus-
ceptible to death and destruction. 1t
is life, it is God. The form changes. is
in process of constant change, but be-
hind and permeating the ever-changing
form is indestructible life, and man is
essentially that. The sense of terror
and anguish comes from the identifica-
lit t.
transient and ephemeral, peace, hope
and assurance for this life and any
possible life beyond are found in the
realization of our essential oneness
with the life of God: that is immor-
tality.

mortality is to live like an immortal

ASK COUNCIL FOR
BOND ISSUE TODAY
City Attorney to Make Request
for $4,000 Certificates
for AqueduCt
SYNDICATE WITHH0LDS AID
More Money Must Be FOrthCom-
ina or Workmen viii Be
Dropped
SYNDICATE WITHHoLDS AID

CITY Attorney Leslie R. Hewitt will
recommend to the city conucil this
morning the advisability of request.
ing SS16. 5000 to accelerate the work OF
the Los Angeles aqueduct.
Yesterday M. Hewitt stated he was
sorry the matter had been given pre-
mature publication, but admitted IT
was necessary to make arrangements
whereby the city of Los Angeles
should obtain additional money from
the sale of the aqueduct bonds.
The proposition to request more
money before August 1 will be placed
before the city conucil this morning
and City Attorney Hewitt will make
the request to the council to ask the
Kountze brothers of New York and A.
b. Leach & Co. to purchase on July
81 $4,000 in accordance with the con-
tract made with the officials of Los
Angeles.
The options of the contract call for
the payment from the bond syndicate
of SS16. 900 worth of bonds August l.;
to purchase $4,000 more bonds Octo-
ber 1 and $4,000 of bonds Decem-
ber j.
CITY ATTORNEY Hewitt stated yester-
day the bond syndicate had purchased
$4,000, 900 more bonds than required by
the contract For this reason they
refuse to advance any more money
until the options on the original bond
issue have been cancelled.
The bond buyers back the city Off
cials in their demand for an additional
payment of money August l.
The object of City Attorney Hewitt s
appeal to the city council this morning
is to see that the work on the aque-
duct will not be retarded and to obtain
additional funds. Work on the aque-
duct has been delayed because of lack
of funds and the expenses were re-
Gently reduced from 100000 a month
to SIZE, 900 a month.
The board of public works is anxious
to have the work rushed and for that
reason desires a payment from the
New York bond syndicate.
The plan of the board of public
works is to push the work as rapidly
as possible and without more money
the force of workmen will have to be
reduced.
To accomplish this purpose legal ac-
ton will be necessary, and for that
reason City Attorney Hewitt will ap-
pear lefore tie city council this morn
ing and present his views as to the ad-
visibility of obtaining more ready
money from the bond syndicate.
