Mails Delayed.

A note from Mrs Maude Newell
Williams, Bucaramanga, Colombia,
South America, dated April 7, says
they have suffered from the extreme
heat for more than five months and all
are anxiously awaiting the beginning of
the rainy season. At,the time the let
ter was written the rainy season was
long overdue and was expected any day.
AS usual during the dry season the
rivers are full of boats, stranded on the
the sandbanks, unable to go up or down.
No mail is received under SO or As days
and much of it is lost altogether, judg-
ing by the number of magazines which
do not appear at all. Mrs. Williams
says she will write something about
Bucaramanga soon. The city differs
from Bogota and also from those des-
cribed by President Roosevelt.

turned from Prairie du Sac Tuesday
evening with pilot George Clemmons
AMI crew of ten men. The four barges

locked through at the power dam at

about 30 feet wide and as soon as
piling at the head of the gates is
removed the barges will continue en-
to their destination It is hoped to
get the remaining four barges out of
Portage before Sunday.
"The run down the river from Port

30 miles, with the first four barges
could have been made easily enough on

GOOD CONDITIONS FOUND
Searching For the Sources
of the Trouble Will
Make Report.

Senator Howard Teasdale of Sparta,
chairman Of the legislative co nmittee
on white slavery, was in Baraboo on
Wednesday in his tour of the state to
ascertain conditions as they really are.
While here he visited police, ministers,
newspaper men and others in order to
obtain some clew as to how the people
were obeying the laws He said he
had considerable correspondence in re-
gard to one woman in Baraboo who
was entertaining much company un~
k lown to her husband and had not fully
made up his mind whether he would
expose the whole situation or not. This
will be decided little later. He is
searching for the causes of the vice
evil. He has located much of it in the
public dancing halls and wine rooms,
he says At Watertown the city coun-
Gil has decided that no more licenses
will be granted where there is a wine
room. He says this is forward step
for Watertown.
All the evidence possible is being
gathered and will be given to the next
legislature. He says conditions are i'm
proving rapidly outside of the large
cities and the world is getting better.
In Baraboo he found conditions very
good, much better than the average
small city the size of this one. He be-
lieves that if the source of the crime
can be located that much important
legislation will result.
According to the Madison Journal re
will make close investigation of the
dance halls in Milwaukee and the bunny
hug and turkey trot are not to escape
close scrutiny, to determine whether or
not they are possible contributors to
the spread of vice.

The recent celebration of the Leipslc
centenary and the comparatively near
approach of the Waterloo centenary
recalls the interesting fact that in the
Catholic cemetery at Roxbury, just
across the Wisconsin river from Sauk
City, are buried three soldiers who fought
in the great battle of Waterloo, June
|18, 1915. Grandchildren Of atleast one
of these veterans are now living in
Sauk City. The first known published
reference to these veterans and their
campaigns was contained in letter TO
the Lodi Valley News by the late James
R. Steele in 1896. Mr.. Steele wrote:
Sin the Catholic cemetery at Rox-
bury are buried three men, soldiers in
the wars of Napoleon Bonaparte. Their
names were Numiere, Polly and Glass
Numiere was under Blucher fighting
against Napoleon, while Polly and Class
fought under Napoleon on the
plains of Waterloo against Wellington.
Blucher comingup at night effected the
overthrow of Napoleon. Polly wore
the star of the Legion of Honor on his
breast as one of Napoleon's guards.
The writer saw him while living at the
age of ninety. He stood six feet,
straight as an arrow. Mr.. Class went
at the age of fifteen as substitute for
his brother, who had family, and
served until the downfall of Napoleon.
Being at the home of his daughter, l
went out to where her father was dress
ing the grape vines. There stood the
man who had shouted Victory and
suffered defeat on the blood-red fields
of Spain one of the army that crossed
the Niemen 500, strong to invade
Russia, one of the number who stormed
the Russian intrenchments at Borodino,
fighting uncovered in the open plain,
causing Napoleon to exclaim at St.
Helena, You immortal heroes!' He
saw the burning of Moscow, the great
est confagration of modern times,
lived and fought through that fearful
retreat.
"a little girl whose mother died in
the snow was carried through.
When the soldier who carried her
sank down in death his comrade took
her up; hundreds carried her and died.
On the bridge spanning the dark roll
ling waters of the Beresina the enemy
concentrated their fire. The bridge
went down beneath the weight; the
French eagle sank, but rose again.
The dark waters of the river closed
over the dead and dying, but the little
child went safely over and back to
France. TheRussians claimed30, 900 dead
bodies were taken out of the river in

in a clearing in the woods near Denzer

tion of being one of Napoleon's guards
and winner of the cross of the Legion
of Honor. Their grandfather was not
on the Russian campaign, they said,
but served one year against Napoleon
and three years under him. 1t will be
remembered that in his campaigns
Napoleon trampled ruthlessly again
and again upon the German states and
co npelled them to recruit the ranks of
his soldiery At the battle of Water
loo the man on each side of PAUL. fel
and when he turned to assist the ar
tilleryman behind him the latter had
also fallen. PAUL. came with his fam
lily to America from Triere, Germany,
about 1848, going first to Milwaukee
and settling later in Roxbury Of his
sons one died in Roxbury and one is
believed to have lost his life in the
Galveston storm some years ago. A
daughter, Mrs. Philippi, lives at Anna,
Buffalo county, Wisconsin.
History also records that Napoleon
had celebrated Swiss gun-maker
named Paul.
