the youngest, babe, in her arms.
On the morning of the second day
she suddenly found herself between
the fire of the French and the Ger

called to her: Come this way! You
must be crazy! You will be killed
with your children!
The woman remained several days
with the artillerymen, who did every
thing possible to nourish the family
and find milk for the babe, which,
nevertheless. died from privation. The
men had great difficulty in tearing the
mother from the child's corpse and

Baccarat, France.-The French and
German lines are separated by dis
lance varying from half mile to four
miles, and this neutral zone is trav-
ersed ceaselessly by patrols of the two
adversaries, whose mission it is to
compel the other to remain quiet while
more important combats take place on
other parts of the front. However, no
day passes without rifle shots and
few shells being exchanged.

very little except that the entire wood
seemed to be alive and quivering. The
chasseurs threw themselves fiat on
the snow and answered the fire. The
engagement grew in intensity and the
cannon began to growl. Then the
chasseurs having accomplished what
they had set out to accomplish, name
ly, to see what force the enemy had in
front, returned to the rear, bringing
one comrade killed and two wounded

branches of trees. Some were sing

IRELAND'S new WCER0Y

Lord Wimborne, who has succeeded
Lord Aberdeen as viceroy of Ireland,

States, having visited this country
several times, his latest trip being
for the purpose of bringing over the
polo team that captured the interna-

not especially popular, though he is
affable, enthusiastic and very ambi-
tious. His first visit to America was
when, as Hon. Ivor Guest, he officiated
as best man at the wedding of his
cousin, the duke of Marlborough, to
Consuelo Vanderbilt. Through his
mother he is descended from the first

Little has been heard from Madison
of the demand made on the legislature
from this county through the board of
supervisors for restrictions on the is
suance of hunting licenses, but it is
expected that our representatives in
the state senate and assembly are en-
deavoring to get the matter to the at
tention of the Legislators in some way.
The resolutions sent to Madison were
as strong as they could be drawn, but
they only reflect the sentiment of the
people of this county. Any number of
Kenosha county citizens would go to
Madison to testify before any legisla-
tive committee as to the conditions in
this county, that must be remedied in
some way. A coming murder trial in
the circuit court will show very clear
~ the folly of turning hundreds Of
foreigners with complete misunder-
standing Of the rights conferred by
these licenses, loose on the territory
surrounding the city and, if they get
no relief by changes in the laws, no
one could blame the farmers for taking
any measures they may think necessary
to protect themselves and their proper
ty. They have about reached the limit
of endurance.
