Chances Involved by War.

It is likely that the English will
learn some new tastes and new habits
when their men come home. They
may bring back with them a taste
for French bread. strong coffee, choco-

and black cigarettes. Even English.
men, after long residence in France,
come by custom to prefer coffee to
tea, and the full-havored cigarettes OF
the French Reggie (Caporals and Mary
lands) to the lighter kinds popular in
this country. French soldiers brought
back with them from Algeria the taste
for absinthe, and English officers
brought back with them from Egypt
in 1885 the cigarette habit. We may
take 1t, too, that our soldiers will
bring home with them many frag.
ments of the French language. The

is superior and they vary their course
on each trip so as to make II impos-
sible for the submarine to lie In wait
along the way.
The following description OF the
pursuit of one Of the railway steam

KEEP TO THE RIGHT
CITY COMMISSIONERS PLANNING
TO REGULATE AUTOMOBILE
TRAFFIC.

The city commission at its weekly
meeting next Monday evening" will
take up the matter of automobile
traffic in the city and prepare ordi-
nance further governing the use of
automobiles in the city streets. They
have had new rules and regulations
under consideration for a number of
weeks and their plans are sufficiently
formulated to place them before the
public in the shape of an ordinance.
There have been more or less oTdi-
nances adopted by the commission
looking to the regulation of automo-
bile traffic, but somehow they have in
large cas- failed of observance
and enforcement. Tt is now, how
ever. determined to take the matter
up in earnest and see to it that the
public is properly informed by traf-
hc ordinances, and strictly enforce
the ordinances. The commissioners
have come to the conclusion that
safety regulations are imperative in
view of the fact that automobiles are
rapidly growing in number and in
the absence of specific regulations are
practically running wild on the
streets of the city. 1t is not unusual
to observe in Egan avenue at almost
any hour of the day from twenty-five
to sixty automobiles winding in and
out in haphaZard without
any system of passing each other,
turning corners, approaching cross
ings or otherwise.
It is the purpose of the city com
%missioners to establish signs bearing
the admonition, Keep to the right
These signs with the foregoing words
so that they may be seen from four
directions, will be placed in the cen
ter of the squares at the intersection
of Egan avenue from Third to
Seventh street. The signs will be
about three feet high with a base
resting on the surface of the ground.
Other regulations will cover the
matter of parking automobiles in the
streets, dispensing with the open
muffer and other matters looking
toward the safety of automobile traf-
fic.
The commissioners have been in
duced to establish the safety regula-
tions largely at the solicitation of au-
tomobile owners and drivers who re
alize the danger of appearing in the
\ crowded streets with automobiles
without systematic rules of traffic
hence the new ordinances will nc
doubt be cheerfully observed AND
easily enforced.

day the same has been today, more

Of evidence than in real business.
w. A. Renner of Madison was put
on the stand to testify to the fact
hat Egan charged him $4,000 fee in
a divorce case and then lost the case.
Thomas W~angsness, guardian for
one Hetland, who was for a short
time a client of Egan's, was on the
stand to testify to what he knew in
this connection. This is the case
where Hetland gave a deed to a piece
of land besides a money considera-
ton for lawyers services and it was
later shown that Hetland was not of
a sound mind.
Mr.. Egan himself has been on the
stand a good share of the time when
arguments have not been occupying
the attention of the referees in an eff
fort to explain certain accusations
and documents.
1t is predicted that at the present
rate of progress that the Ease will not
be concluded for two weeks or more.

PRESBYTERIAN PICNIC
A DAY OF ENJOYMENT BY
CHURCH FOLK AT LAKE MAD
ISON YESTERDAY.

The Presbyterian church held its
picnic at the chautauqua grounds
yesterday and enjoyed a very pleas
ant and successful time. The whole
day was spent in having a good
time. dinner and supper being served
by the ladies. The program of sports
was well planned and carried out.
The boys baseball game created
great interest and while some of the
players were small they did big
things. Regan starred as batter and
Ellis on first did nobly. After din
ner the program of races was called.
There YER fifteen entries in the fifty
yard sack race, some of which got
over the line safely, but most came
to grief before they had gone half the
distance. The potato race had four
teen entries and the way those run
ners scratched for Murphy's would
make the Irish envious. More inter
est, however, centered in the egg race
and many of the ladies concluded
that they could not be outdone in
the egg business by the boys and
girls, SO took a hand in. twenty-five
started and there will be eggs for
many days on the course they trav-
eled. The ladies are not so cocksure
now. Then there came the tug of
war between the boys and the girls
and the boys might have beaten, but
some of the ladies who were heavy
weights did not like to see their sex
beaten and they did the usual thing
to help, but the boys don't care; they
know that they can beat anyhow.
Then anne the great event of the
day, the ladies' baseball game. The
two captains were Mrs. Rob Jones
and Mrs. Clayton Ball. After exer-
cising great care in selecting their
players the game was called. The
captains proved to be mastery twirl-
ers and kept things hot. OF course

report for work at the three grade
buildings. Garfield south of the
tracks; Washington, north of the
tracks and east of Blanche avenue;
Lincoln, north of the tracks and west
of Blanche avenue All other pupils
will report at the Central building.
Pupils should take all of the texts
they used last year to school.
II is very important that all start
promptly the first day. Especially is
this true of pupils who have never
been to school. Owing to the fact
that it is very i~nconvenient for us tc
start a mid-year class of beginners in
our system of schools, any pupil who
will be 6 years of age before the
close of the first semester may enter
in September.
Mr.. May will be at the Central
building the latter part of the week
to classify e pupils and confer with
patrons. parents and pupils.
The same number of teachers are
provided for the schools as was EN-
I ployed last year. Owing to the in
crease of population il may be neees-
sary to add one or more teachers
later on. The same plan of WORK
and organization will be maintained
as last year. The board feels tina
the plan and organization has worked
very successfully and efficiently. This
outlook promises a profitable anC
successful school year. To this enc
we ask the cooperation of our patrons
and friends in the great work of ed
ueation in our city.
