The EVE BEFORE WATERLOO.

I'LL LNL UNI w
There was sound of revep by night.
And Beleiums capital had gathered then
Her beauty and her chivary and bright
The lamps shone DER fair and brave
A thousand hearts beat happily; and when
Music arose with its volupuous swell
Soft eyes looked love eyes which spake again
And all went merrr a marriaGebell
But hush harkl deep sounds strikes like rising KIN III
Did ye not hear it? No; twas but the wind
Or the rafting DER the stony
On with the dance let joy be uncontined
No sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure
To chase the glowing hours with flying feet!
But harkl that heavy sound breaks more
As if the clouds its echo would repeat:
And nearer, clearer deadlier than before
Arml arm! it is-it is the lannon's opening roar!
All then and there hurrying to and fro
And gathering tears, and trembinss of distress,
And cheeks all pale which but an hour ago
Blushed at the praise Of their own loneliness:
And there were sudden paines, such
The life from out young hearts, and choking signs
Which ne'er might be repeated who could
If ever more should meet those mutual eyes,
Since upon night sweet such awful morn could risel
And there mounting in hot haste the steed
The mastering squadron, and the Gathering car,
Went pouring forward with impeuous speed
And swiftly forming in the ranks of war
And the deep thunder peal on peal afar;
And near the beat of the alarming drum
Reused up the soldier ere the morning
While thrOngei the citizens with terror dumb
Or whispering with white lips The fo They come they GOMEZ
And wild aud high the Camerons Gathering" rose
The Of Lochicl which Albyns hills
Have heard and heard, have her Saxon foes!
How in the of night that piboch thrills,
Savage aud shll But with the breath which fills
Their mountain pipe, so till the muuuducers
with the fierce native daring which n,tlls
The stirring m,nory Of a thousand years,
And Evans Donalis fame rings III each clausnans ears
And Ardennes above them her green leaves,
Dewey with Natures tear-1rops they pass.
Grieving aueht inanimate eet Gev,>,
Over the unreturmnG bave-aas
Ere evening o be trodden like the grass
Which beneath them but above shall lo"
In its next verdure when this fiery
OF living valor rolling on the foe,
And burning with high hope shall moldcr cold and low
Last behed them full Of lusty life,
Last in Beautys circle proudly gay
The midnight brought the signa-SUund of strife
The morn, the marshaing in arms-the day,

The earth is covered with thick other clay
Which her clay shall cover heaped and pent,

TREASURER TO HAVE REST
Aldermen Without Argument Eliminate
Two Per Cent Payments and Settle
ments May Be Delayed With Both
the County and the State.

The city council established rec
ord on Tuesday night. It held meet
ing and adjourned in less than ten
minutes. The one thing to come be-
fore the meeting was the question of
extending the time for the collection
of taxes and without single alder
man dissenting the time was extended
to February 28th-the last Monday in
February. The resolution for the ex-
tension of the time was all ready when
the council met and there was no ar
gument of the question. Whatever OBJ
jections there may have been to the
plan had been ironed out before the
aldermen reached the council chamber
and with one voice the time was ex-
tended. The action was held to be in
keeping with action taken in nearly
all of the larger cities of the state and
it will undoubtedly come as welcome
thing to q lot of people who have been
waiting anxiously for the council to act.
It is expected that the action will
have the effect of delaying the collec-
ton of taxes until the last minute.
The big proportion of the taxpayers
hold on to their money until the last
day in the afternoon and then pour in
checks enough to bury the city treas
urer. This year there has been large
number of early taxpayers and the
treasurer has collected already close
to hundred thousand dollars. Bust
ness had been exceedingly brisk this
week, but just as soon as it becomes
known that the city council had ex-
tended the time interest in tax pay
ing will drop off percetptibly.
The council in eliminating the two
per cent penalty will not endanger the
city finances and it is not expected
that the city treasurer will make any
settlements with the county treasurer
until after the first of March and bv
that time there will be an abundance
of funds to pay all the claims of the
county for state and county taxes and
of the state for it's percentage of the
income tax. The two per cent penalty
will not be charged on income taxes
paid after the last Monday in Janu-
airy, the date set by the state law, as
the city will not be called upon to pay
this to the state.
Under the new state law the council
is given power to extend the time for
the payment of the taxes and the ac-
ton is entirely legal and regular.

ARREST HARTFORD MAN HERE.
Edwin G. Downs Said to be Prominent
Held for Issuing Worthless
Checks in Home City.

Edwin g.. Downs, twenty-seven
years Of age, resident of Hartford,
Conn, and said to be Of some promin-
ence as a real estate dealer in the east
ern city, was arrested in Kenosha last
night and he is being held pending the
arrival of officers from Hartford He
is wanted there on charge of issu-
ing worthless checks. After his arrest
Downs declared that he might have
overdrawn his account a few dollars,
but he insisted that he was ready and
willing to make good any outstanding
checks. Downs came to Kenosha only
a little over two weeks ago and had
found employment in local garage.
Letters from Hartford declare that an
officer is now on his way to Kenosha
to take Downs back for trial. Downs
had been an excellent workman in the
short time he had been In Kenosha and
his arrest came as surprise. Tt is
probable that he will return to Hart
ford without making any demand for
extradition papers. He is being held

of the other candidates." continues

ing attitude before the September pri-

ENGINES IN COLLISION.

Two switch engines of the North
Western Railway company collided in
the yards of the company at the
corner of Pearl and West Main streets
just before four o'clock Tuesday after
noon and the attendant damage was
so great that wrecking crew was
called. One of the engines was run
ming east with heavy train of cars
for the Simmons factory and the other
was coming from the south. Evident
~ there was some mistake in signals
and the engine from the west struck
the tender on the north bound engine
and rolled it over like it had been a
house of cards. The coal and portions
of the wrecked tender so Uttered up
the tracks that it was necessary to call
the Wrecking crew. The business of
the company was not seriously inter
ferred with as a result of the collision
and none Of the trainmen were injured.

Members of the Kenosha County
Milk Producers association were urg-
ed to unite to protest against what are
termed unfair regulations of the
Chicago city health department by w.
K. Kittle of Chicago, secretary of the
Central Union Producer s union at the
annual meeting of the Kenosha county
association held at the court house to-
day. Two sessions of the association
were held and half hundred farmers
from all parts of the county interested
in the milk situation were present.
Mr.. Kittle emphasized the point
that the fight now being made by the
city of Chicago was to be the death
knen of the small dealer in milk and
that if the plan was carried out it
would establish the big dealers firmly
in control of the situation. He aimed
his protest especially against the de-
mand of DR.. John Dill Robertson of
the Chicago health department for
milk which should be shipped so as
to reach Chicago at a temperature of
fifty-six degrees. He declared that this
would mean that every farmer who
shipped milk to Chicago would have
to put up ice and ice his milk. That
delayed trains would mean that the
IN na.fat sta. 81 fho iced
cans and see to it that the milk did not
exceed the temperature named in the
regulation. He insisted that it would
mean the use Of nothing but refrigera-
tor cars for the shipment of milk He
held that in the meeting of this de-
mand the profits of the diaries in Ke-
nosha county would be greatly reduc-
ed if not wiped out entirely.
Secretary Kittle questioned the good
intentions of the Chicago department.
in this demand for milk of tempera-
ture Of ffty-fve degrees. He declared
that the men were out to make rec
ord for the department for political
effect and that the record was to be
made at the expense of the milk
producers.
liz uISGu LuC uu1Oh VI ONCly OIl0 VI
the nine thousand milk shippers in the
central district for protest and for a
battle royal against the enforcement
of the regulations, holding that this
was the only way that the milk dealers
could combat the order. The new order
is to 90 into effect later in the year
and the officers of the Central Pro
ducer's association hope to be able to
have a united body to combat it.
Director G. Fl. Potter of Elgin, was
another speaker at the Kenosha county
meeting. He spoke especially on the
value of organization. He did not lay
great stress on the work of state and
national associations and declared that
the dairymen must look after their own
business if they hoped to make it sue
cessful. Before the end of the after
noon session director will be elected
to represent Kenosha county in the
Central association.

The White House,

The White House,
Washington, D. c., Jan. %, 1916.
Hon. James German, Postmaster,
Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Your telegram received. The
tentative schedule for the Presi-
dent provides that he shall pass
through Kenosha, via North
Western Railroad, at eleven-nine
A M, January 31st While it
will be impossible for him to
leave the train, he is hopeful that
there will be an opportunity for
him to say just word of greeting
to the good people of Kenosha
from the train platform.
J. P. Tumulty.
This is the acceptance of President
Wilson of the invitation from the peo-
pie Of Kenosha to make a short stop
here on his "swing round the circle''
and while local friends of the President
had been hopeful that it would be pos
sible for the President to spend much
longer time in Kenosha they have ac-
cepted the decision as final and are
making arrangements to give him
rousing reception.
Democratic economy is to be ex-
pressed in the trip of the President in
thin f17 aad he will be the first
President in years not to travel by
special train in trip through the
country. His special car will be
part of the regular train which will
leave Chicago at ten O'Clock Monday
morning. In his party will be many
prominent people. He is to be accom-
panied by his bride, Edith Boiling
Wilson, and Mrs. Wilson is expected
to appear with him in Kenosha. The
Northwestern Railway company is
not going to insist on the train making
its scheduled time when it carries the
President from Chicago to Milwaukee
on Monday morning and if the people
along the way want to see a little of
the nation 8 chief and want to hear
something from him it is pretty GER
tain that the train will be held long
enough for their accommodation.
Every possible effort will be made
by the company to safeguard the
President and it is probable that
train will be sent just ahead of the
train carrying the Wilson party.
1t is expected that the President
will make short platform talks at Wau-
kegan, Kenosha and Racine on the trip
to Milwaukee and that about half an
hour will be given to the three places.
Regardless Of the fact that the visit
of the President to Kenosha is to be
short leaders of the Democracy are
making every possible effort to enter
tain him while here. There will be
nothing Of a partisan nature in con-
nection with the welcome to the Presi-
dent and it is expected thatSthere will
be just as many Republicans as Demo
Gratis to greet the train. If the Presi-
dent will arrange to stop in Kenosha
for half an hour the Coliseum will be
secured for him to speak in. This is
very improbable. The good word was
sent to all the rural towns this morn
ing and the announcement "The
President is coming" caused lot of
interest all over the county and it is
certain that great crowds win come in
from the towns just to get look at
the nations chief and his bride. Mr..
Wilson has never been in Kenosha and
it is certain that he will be given a
great welcome by the people of the city
and county even though he stops but
few minutes in the city.
