for picturesque figures. Then is heard
the clacking of the fail in many an
old barn; primitive bullock wagons
laden with the treasures of mother
earth slowly come through the forth
fed barbicans of the town gates; and
figures bearing scythe or reaping
hook pass on to the fields and woods.
Stay a while and peep inside one of
the great old barns, whose huge beams
and timbers are dimly revealed in the
deep, dark recesses. A cloud of fine
dust fills the air, and a food of sun
shine pouring in from the open door
turns this into a Quivering, golden,
transparent screen, through which the
picturesQuely clad figures are seen
f1inging their fails in rhythmic time,
the grain meanwhile dancing a merry
measure on the rough oaken floor
Wisely enough, the inhabitants Of

not." cried the old Able. crossing
himself before :the gaping. hole In
the front of the parish church at
Verneuil.
The six-inch shell that went
through the. hole had carried the
door with 1t and blown out part OF
the side wall. A smaller hole in the
clock tower marked where three
inch projectile had cut through, and
the dial lay shattered at Able
Schmidt's feet. Another shot had
torn from its hangings the old church
bell. which in Its fall had crashed
the enry. Another shot had made
great opening in the roof and the
shell exploding inside had demol-
tshed the altar and the relinquary
lay buried beneath a heap Of stone,
mortar and splinters. But the four
walls remained erect and the isteeple
seemed to hold its pointed head up
with the same dignified fortitude
with which the venerable Able
tbrayed the iron hand of the destroy

Five days before the Germans had
made a short forced halt around
iVerneufl, and when they passed
Through 1t was to seek shelter for a
great number of victims or the
French artillery which had halted in
Its retreat to check the pursuers. The
vicar Of the parish was among the
20, 600 priests with the French army,
whose line already extended far to
the south. Most Of the inhabitants
OF the parish had fed or sought ref
luge. and the Able Schmidt was near
ly alone to aid the German surgeons
and nurses to take care Of these
previously torn soldiers, most of
whom lay upon bundles Of strak in
the church itself For three days,
night and day, he cared for the enc
my's wounded with the same devo-
ton as If they were of his own coun-
Try Then in the frantic hurry or
the retreat before the allies, he en-
deavored, as far as rpssible, to ease
the pain caused by their transport
into all sorts Of improyised ambu-
lances.
The last Of the wounded has
scarcely quit the town, when the
booming of cannon was heard from
two directions almost simultaneously,
and from the German lines the shells
began to fall into little village. When
the French came through, the church
was wrecked and no longer pos
sible shelter for the French wounded.
The following day was Sunday,
and in the morning Able Schmidt,
with the aid of few parishioners,
succeeded in hanging the bell from

PARIS. Nov. 13-The cathedrals

Every day there is a continuous file

their patron saints. They are most

greater proportion than has been
seen in the churches in many years.
Among these men are many

within the Law"

Few plays of recent years have
been SO enthusiastically praised by the
exacting dramatic critics of New York
and Chicago as Bayard Veiller's alb
sorbing new human interest drama OF
modern metropolitan life. within
the Law which the American Play Co.
is to offer here on Friday night, Mar.
20, at the Opera house.
This play" says Acton Davies in
the New York Evening Sun, lis set
forward on the programme as a melo-
drama, and the man who writes the
advertisements calls it a drama of the
minute. 1t is both. The killing
that~is done in the course of the mar i.
rative is accomplished with revolver
that shoots smokeless powder and is
rugged with a Maxim silencer. When
the killer finally has the crime fasten-
ed upon him, he says to the police
inspector, with the conscious pride of
one who has done a good job with a
high sense of artistic values: Il guess
that's the first time a guy was ever
croaked with one of them. and as
the inspector mods, the slayer contin-
ues: Some class eh 2 and strolls off
to take his medicine.
Within the Law has a story
back of the shooting, in which @
young girl goes to prison while not
guilty, comes ont and evolves scheme
for making society "give up without
actually breaking the written statutes.
She organizes group of experts and
what they do to the police, who are
puwerless to convict them, make the
play.
The American Play Co. has engaged
a remarkably able cast for within
the Law and the elaborate scenic
production which is to be employed
here is identical. even to the small de-
tails, with that employed in New
York and Chicago, where this stirring
new play was designated the ORA
matte sensation of the year.

THE TAXPAYERS LEAGUE
MEETS HERE THURSDAY
Delegates Coming From all Parts
of the County
Feeling Seems to be General that Some.
thing Must be Done to Check
Increasing Taxation

1t is doubtful whether the people of
Wisconsin have been more stirred in
years over any one thing than they are
at the present time over what they
consider needless extravaganza in pub
lie affairs and the tremendous growth
in taxation. In spite of the fact that
new sources of taxation have been
added TO our system Incorporation tax,
the allurement constantly held before
the people that these new features were
going to lower general taxation, the
expense of state government and state
institutions have seemed to grow at a
more rapid rate than the revenues and
our general taxes keep mounting high
er and higher with no promise of ever
being any lower. The result is that
all over the state this year the burd
ened taxpayers regardless of party, are
demanding that something must be
done to put a check upon present con
ditions if we ara not to see taxation
reach confscatory proportions.
A few weeks ago the nucleus of an
organization known as the Grant
County Taxpayers Protective League
was formed in Lancaster for the pur-
pose of expressing condemnation of the
great mass of freaky and useless legis-
lation that has been enacted at the ex.
tremely long sessions of the Wisconsin
legislature the great multiplication
Of laws the great numbe of employ
ees carried upon the states pay rolls
at the expense of the taxpayers; the
present system of state aid in the
building of highways; the increase of
state commissions to supervise and
control all sorts of public and private
business the almost unlimited power
given by law or Usurped by existing
commissions. which to great extent
deprive towns, villages cities and
counties of the right of local
government, and to sack methods for
restoring such rule to the people and

ANOTHER CONTEST ON
PRACTICAL LINES
One Hundred Dollars to be Given in
Prizes to Boys and Girls
in County

Every boy and girl enjoys doing
something worth while if given a
chance Every boy and girl would rath-
or be active than passive. The youth
who does nothing has not been given
a chance to do something. The youth
who does the wrong thing invariably
does so for the simple reason that the
right thing was not presented. In youth
is energy, and energy is the capacity
of performing work. To direct you
in a part of your work will you read
the following =
A few days ago superintendent J.
C. Brockert received a letter from a
worthy citizen who is deeply interest
ed in the young people of our city.

Concerning Silos

We wish publicly to answer a few
questions relative to concrete silos
that are SO often asked us, it would
seem to be largely circulated that sew
eral inches next to the wall of con-
crete silo is waste feed also that silage
in concrete silo freezes consider
ably more than in wooden one. This
is untrue; in proerly constructed
we have seen, the feed keeps as we'll
and is as wholesome as at the middle.
From our own observation and that
of wood silo owners who look at our
silos in cold weather and from the
report of the Wis. Exeriment Station
we will say concrete silos freeze no
deeper than wood
We would advise all interested in
the subject to obtain Bulletin No. ga
of the Wisconsin Station which will
be found very interesting as they have
an experience with concrete silos
covering a number of years and in
this bulletin they compare the differ
ent kinds of silos as to keep, freez
ing, cost, etc. This bulletin is
free and will be sent TO any address
and all interested in or thinking of
buying silo, should drop a card to
the Agricultural Experimental Station,
Madison, Wis, and ask for bulletin

street clothes for his train clothes was
a material circumstance IL the case.
French and the two brakeman testi-
fed that he did so just after leaving
Prairie du Chen where the train
stopped for coal and water, and that
he had bis dark shirt on before Glen
Haven was reached. It is uudisput
ed That train No. so consisted of 54
cars besides the enigne, the tender
and the caboose, and was half mile
long. About quarter of mile north
of Glen Haven the train was tagged
to stop and orders we're handed to
the onductor or engineer to proceed
with caution until bridge crew that
wer9 at work at bridge or culvert
half mile below Glen Haven station
were passed. The engineer then start
ed the train and ran cautiously. He
testified that when his engine passed
over this small bridge it was going
from eight to ten miles an hour.
Several witnesses, both for the state
and for the defendant, confirm him as
to the then rate of speed. At the time
when the engine crossed the bridge,
the caboose would be passing the Glen
Haven station half mile back at the
same rate of speed, of course, as the
engine was going. The state introduce
ed witnesses who were at the station
who testified that the caboose passed
there at from two to four miles an
hour-one of them saying that the
train was then going slowly, just
under control. The speed of the train
at the time the engine crossed the
bridge was a very material question
in the case. The 18th car from the
engine was fiat car, that day loaded
with monument granite To pass
from the car behind it to the car in
front of it a person had to elm b
down the end ladder of one car
and up the ladder Of the other.
When the train passed the bridge crew

the train from the engine. Members
of the bridge crew testified that they
saw another man. whom they did not
know, who had light colored shirt
on, walking on the top of the train
towards the engine until he got where
'Neill stood, and that he spoke to
| 0 Neill and then turned and went back
towards the ca boose until he reached
about the middle of the train when he
went down between two cars. Albert
Esser, one of the bridge crew who
had been down the line to flag. was
near the track and saw this man
come Gown from the top of car by
the end ladder, upon the side ladder,
which car there was a man holding
on with his feet in the stirrup or step
that hangs below the car and mis-
