TO HOLD REUNION
SEPTEMBER 5 AND 6
Twenty-FHSt Wisconsin Win Gel
citrate Anniversary.
GATHERING IN FOND DU LAC
Regiment Organized at Camp Bragg,
Oshkosh, in August and Sertenl-
Der, 1e62-This Will Be the
Twenty-Fifth Meeting.

Nadison.-On September 5 and 6
the Twenty first Wisconsin will hold
it's twenty-fifth ann laI reunion at
Fond du Lac. This regiment was or
ganized at Camp Bragg, Oshkosh. in
August and September, 1862. This
will be the fiftieth anniversary meet
ing of the survivors.
The regiment was fortunate in hav-
ing for it's field officers soldiers who
had more than years experience in
the army. Benjamin J. Sweet, a
young lawyer of Calumet county. who,
previous to becoming a lawyer was
public school teacher. was the first
colonel. He had served a year in the
Sixth Wisconsin, first as major and
then as lieutenant colonel.
The original lieutenant colonel was
Harrison c. Hobart, who for nearly
twenty years before the war had been
prominent as Democratic politician,
having once run for governor and
twice for congress. He had been
speaker of the assembly and served
term in the state senate. He ran for
governor against Gen. Lucius Fair
child in 1865, after the war, and was
defeated by a few thousand votes.
Both Sweet and Hobart became brevet
brigadiers.
The first major was Frederick Schu-
macher. Milwaukee, who had served as
city engineer. He was a lieutenant
and then a captain in the Sixth Wis
cousin. The adjutant of the regiment
was M. H. Fitch, who afterward was
pension agent in Milwaukee. Adjutant
Fitch became lieutenant colonel of
the regiment.
The men had nearly three years of
hard campaigning. It was in the bat
ties of Perryville, Stones River,
CLickamauga, and at the latter battle
lost heavily in prisoners, including
Colonel Hobart, who was one of the
leaders at Libby prison in digging the
tunnel through which large number
of the prisoners made their escape.
The regiment was in all of the battles
from Chattanooga to Atlanta and
went with Sherman to the sea.

Speed of Autos In Cities.

That city or village may not pass
an ordinance limiting the speed of
automobiles within such corporation
to eight miles an hour, or to any other
speed less than prescribed by the gen.
eral law of the state, namely Is miles
an hour. is held in an opinion by At
torney General Bancroft to Secretary
of State Frear.
1T is well established" says the at
torney general, that common coun-
ell of a city cannot, in the exercise Of
its legislative grant, enact ordinances
which are in conflict with the laws OF
the state
Then. too. it is pointed out that the
law regulating the speed of automo-
visions of the law shall be uniform
in operation throughout the state, and
no city. village, county, town, park
board or other local authority shall
have power TO enact, pass, enforce or
maintain any ordinance, resolution,
rule or regulation requiring local reg
istration or other requirement incon-
sistent herewith"
The legislature seems to have rec
ognized the fact that the different
cities of the state were enforcing diff
ferent speed ordinances and that such
differences caused unnecessary an
noyance to users of automobiles, who
could not be familiar with the speed
regulations of each city" says the at
torney general. Then, too, 1t is point
ed out that the law itself provides for
a lesser speed when particular condi-
lions render that necessary to safety
In that 1t prohibits speed greater
than is reasonable and proper, having
regard to the width, traffic and use Of
the highways and the general and
usual rules of the road
The question arose out of the desire
OF the city of Evansville to pass an
ordinance limiting the speed of auto
mobiles in that city to eight miles an
hour.

Try to Avoid Car Shortage.

Wisconsin and other northwestern
states face car shortage unparalleled
since 1907. Traffic managers of lead
ing western railroads. cooperating
with the Association of Western Rail-
ways. are writing letters to shippers
forecasting a scarcity of rolling stock
within the next thirty days unless all
interests cooperate for the prompt
handling of shipments. Following this
advice, the Wisconsin railroad COM
mission is notifying leading manufac-
tureTs of the impending danger 1t
recommends that orders for future
shipments be placed as soon as posi-
BILE and that every effort be made to
load and unload equipment so that
there may be no delay in holding cars.

Of the state committee. presided.
The exact date for the state con-
vention was left open. though it was
understood that 1t would probably be
Wednesday. September 10, during the
week OF the state fair 1t was held
that the fair would bring in thousands
of persons from the state, and as
Wednesday was always made state
day that no better time could be
named for the state convention.

"HE ebb and fiow OF certain ex-
IRENE fashion in one season is
interesting. If one goes deep
into the philosophy of human
caprice It is easy enough to reason
this out; people who dress we'll are
rather afraid Of exploiting an ex-
IRENE because they feel that those
who dress for the moment will take
this fashion as their own and COM
monte It: the latter are not struck
with it, and the former. awaiting their
time go back to it, writes Anne Rit-
tenhouse In the Philadelphia Record.
All this has come about with the
pannier. When Nine. Cheruit wore
the first one IN Paris it started, as
you know, all sorts of wild rumors
and comments. In a few days all the
dressmakers in Paris exhibited pan
niers as the newest fashion, and in a
few weeks the American shops had
them. The public did not take to
them and they fell from favor. They
were merely an advertising scheme,
after all, first for an individual, then
for class.
Whether or not the public or the
dressmakers nodded the first pannier
into the zouave skirt of today is hard
to tell. but the modification IS most
acceptable. Il Is a cross between
Turkish trousers and -four sack
gathered at the hem, and yet It is
most attractive and becoming to wo-
men who have big hips. as well as
those who have slender ones. 1t is
probably the skirt of the day as far
as exciusiveness goes. and yet II is
not we'll known enough to prevent Its
being offered on the 18th OF August
as an autumn fashion.
1t Is cutie simple to explain. The
material is soft and Is slightly gath
cred into a high waistband, falls over
a fiattened hip line TO halfway point
between the knee and ankle, and is
gathered there into q narrow lower
skirt. which is plain or adorned. The
gathering lie done In such a way that
the fulness Of the skirt bags over II
for about three inches. giving the
Turkish trouser effect.

Newest ideas In Skirts.

Last winter a few gowns we're
worn over here which haS this eff
feet at the foot line. For months pre-
ceding January the smart dressma-
kers had been advocating this quaint
method of arranging a skirt at the
hem. The method was to cut the skirt
itself six inches longer than the lin
ing, then turn 1t under and gather Il
to the skirt. This produced that full
scalloped effect which is now very
smart to have at the knees.
1t is the same method and is the
same idea. It is merely moved up to
the body for six or seven inches. Thu
effect is much better. as one retaina
the slim, tight lower skirt with ita
trimness about the ankles. This zoc
ave effect is just as smart on skirtN
that are long as well as those that arc
short. 1t is rather effective on d
stright two-gored Empire underskirt.
which is cut to a pointed train.

usIna FIoNened sIIks.

II has much the effect Of a tunic in
that It conceals the tightness OF the
line drawn by the underskirt against
the figure in the back, and also hides
the not always graceful movement of
the knees in a tight skirt. 1t takes
consummate art to make a slim mar
row skirt that does not catch and
draw around the body in an ugly man
nsr; and so the fashion for fulness
from waist to knees comes as a happy
afterthought.
Among the midsummer fashions is
the use of soft-flowered sIlks instead
Of ehiffons. or rather they are used as
rivals, not as substitutes. The flow
cred transparent stun is always love
ly. and in its present form 1t is allur.
ing, especially for hot afternoons and
evenings. The use OF silks is newer.
1t came about through the revival Of
many of the Louis XVI. fashions.
THAT was great epoch for silk COW
cred with punches OF flowers and Ia
ter with stripes.
Today one does not wish to wear
the stiff brocades Of those days, for
the manufacturers have gone far in
the art OF weaving and can give US
marvellous stuffs of six and metal In
terwoven in gossamer weight. We can
wear the dashing brilliancy Of the
italian fabrics and not put an ounce
of weight on our muscles.
Design Is Effective.
This Is the kind of silk we are
wearing this summer. II is fashioned
into the new kind OF pannier and is
immensely effective. 1t is not draped
as far down on the skirt as the thin
chiffpns are; it is carried down to the
knees or a little above and is lifted
slightly In the front II drops into a
baglike effect there ard falls close to
the slim silk or satin underskirt be-
cath
1t Is better TO use satin for the low.
er skirt than any osher fabric. not
only because it is the AEst favorite Of
the day, but because Il presents an
artistic contrast to most other fab
RIGS. It has the advantage OF bring
ing out to its best all things that are
placed against 1t as a background. or
on which It is placed as a striking ac-
cessoEy. This is the reason that
satin is so continually used by those
who put art into dressmaking.
Here is gown that could be COP
led in many colors and would meet
with instant approval by those who
