FINED UNDER new ACT.

1t would be hardly news item to
chronicle the fact that John Gallagher
had been arrested for being drunk.
But John has achieved a rew distinc-
tion. He is the first person TO be con-
victed under recently enacted law
which makes it an otfense for posted
man to enter saloon. The fact that
strong waters are forbidden to him does
not lessen to any appreciable extent
his desire therefor and in quest Of some
new bartender who did not know him
or some lcensee who would take a
long chance for quarter, he visited
four saloons. The police were notified
and gathered John in. 1t cost JChn $50
and costs which he paid, tolerably
stiff penalty when one considers that
it was accompanied by the satisfaction
OF having been drunk.

The city clerk has turned over the

about S290,000 to be raised by property

the same as last year.

TO FATHERS
When You Join the Red Cross
and Give Your Mite, You Help
Our Soldiers in Europe and
Feed Starving Babies.

Fathers: Suppose that three years
ago powerful and savage enemy had
Invaded cur nation suddenly and you
had been called into the army to de
fend the country. Suppose that our
county had been captured by the in
vnder; your home burned, your wife
and half-grown daughter carried away
into slavery worse than death and your
son mutllated and put to work behind
the enemy lines, -- --
The American Red Cross has been
called upon to relieve suffering "over
there" and to restore as far as possible
devastated sections of allied territory.
1t Is now on the job. The Red Cross
is conducting thousands of hospitals in
France for American and allied sol
oilers, and running ambulance lines
and comfort stations innumerable.
Yet the organization cannot do
enough because it hasn't half enough
members back home here to supnort
the vast work there. So now it is con-
iducting Il campaign to get fifteen mil
lion members by Christmas eve. IL is
nm honor to belong to the Red Cross.
If you aren't already wearing the little
| button, enroll at once. The member
ship costs just $10O a year. Another
dollar brings you the Red Cross Maga-
zine for twelve months.
Suffering Europe, especially the
women and children, needs your help.

Will WE HELP
THE RED CROSS?
Organization Right Now Keeping
Millions of Destitute Men,
Women and Children
Alive in Europe.
All Americans at Home Must
Back Up This Great Work
EtfeCtuaIIy-Join the Red
Cross Today.

The American Red Cross has on its
hands one of the worlds greatest and
grimnest jobs. In order to do the
work, the organization must have at
once fifteen million members. 1t now
has five million on the rolls and is
campaigning TO secure the ten million
additional members by Christmas eve.
Every man, woman and child in this
community ought to belong to the Red
Cross. Being a member doesn't mean
that one is expected to go to Europe,
carry wounded soldiers off the battle
fields and nurse them In the hospitals.
Il doesn't mean that one need go to
the devastated areas of France or Bel
gium, or Poland, or Serbia, and give
personal care to the starving, freezing,
naked, homeless women and children
there.
But it does mean that those of us
who stay comfortably Mt home will do
as much as we can In every way to
back up the organization already at
work lover there"
1t does mean that the men among
Us will contribute our bit to help our
brothers fighting the cause of liberty
in Europe.
1t does mean that the mothers
among us will knit and sew for the
wretched mothers of Europe and their
pitiful babies.
1t does mean that our young women
will show practical sympathy for the
young women along the western
front" and in Serbia who have suffered
unspeakable cruelties at the hands Of
bestial enemy soldiers.
1t does mean that our children be
made to understand the curse upon
the children of Europe, and be taught
to make some sort of sacrifice for the
cause of humanity.
1t does mean that each of us will do
what he can individually to supply
plenty of comforts for our soldiers
fighting the enemy and necessities for
the wounded in hospitals.
Stricken Europe is crying to heaven
for relief, and Providence Is answering
that prayer through the Instrumental
ity of the American Rad Cross.
Now IL II had unlimited funds but
only a comparatively few members, the
Red Cross would be unable to do the
work before it. The first great need
is for millions of members-the sup
port of the folks back home"
DO you know why our lads IN the
army and navy are acquittipg them
selves so credltably-why they are
amazing the allies ny their bravery, in
telligence and enthusiasm? 1t is be-
cause those lads are thinking always
of their mothers and dads and sisters
and sweethearts and kid brothers.
The same thing goes for the Red
Cross. When all the dads and moth
ers and sisters and sweethearts and
kid brothers in America show their in
terest and sympathy for Red Cross
work, as members of the Red Cross
and as working members, why the Red
Cross will cover itself with glory for
ever more.
A years membership in the Red
Cross costs just one dollar. If one
wishes to read the Red Cross Maga-
zine for year he pays another dol
lar. Join now. You will never spend
a dollar in better cause.

TO MOTHERS
The Red Cross Needs Your Help

Dear Mothers: Surely you will do
what you can to relieve the sufferings
of the homeless wretched mothers and
children Of war-torn Europe-ragged.
starving, freezing, tuberculous women
and babies who for three years have
endured the horrors of hell. They
are your sisters and your sisters
children. The end Is not yet for them.
Think what they must go through this
winter. Think of yourself and your
little ones here in America, safe and
comfortable.
OF course you cannot go to Europe
and nurse and feed and clothe and
shelter those sufferers. But the Amer
lean Red Cross Is over there doing it,
the nohlest labor In the worlds history.
our Red Cross is nursing and feeding
nd clothing and sheltering them. And
II is conducting thousands of hospitals
ana ambulance lines and comfort sta
tions for American soldiers and the
soldiers Of our allies.
Yet the Red Cross cannot do enough
because II hasn't half enough mem
bcrs. Therefore a campaign is being
nnde TO get fifteen million members by
Christmas eve. II is an honor to be-
long TO the organization.
You viii! join, won't you? You will
zee that your husband enrolls, and that

CITY COUNCIL NOTES.

The council met in regular session
Monday evening.
The council seems determined to
bring about the abolition OF sewer
district and ward taxes. Each ward
taxes the property in the ward for
street repairs and lighting. In sim
liar way the city is divided into separ-
ate tax districts for sewer purposes.
These are provided for by city charter
which the council cannot alter. A
bill to permit the change in the last
legislature failed OF passage due,
Mc'Keough said, to city officers not
pushing it at Madison. Schuetze
thinks legislative action not necessary
and wants the attorney to figure out
a scheme for abolishing ward and dis
trict taxes. Schenian thought the
adoption of the entire general charter
might help, The first and fifth wards
are beneiciaries of the present system
having the big industrial plants to tax
and they doubtless will fight to retain
their advantage.
The council transferred $500 to the
firemen's pension fund and $500 to the
policemen's S fund.
Bids of w. o. Bahr and the Gray
Robinson Co. for sewer along 18th
street to the sexton's residence were
considered excessive and were rejected.
The work will go over until spring.
Alderman Kapitz had in his prom
ised resolution for a purchase of the
former west side ball grounds for
city park. 1t merely directs the
councils committee on parks to meet
with the city park commission and
report on the advisiability of the pur-
chase. Revolinski had similar re-
solution in regard to purchasing for
park purposes the block bounded by
18th, 18th, Columbus and Division
streets. Both resolutions were adopt
ed.
Some of the aldermen wanted to
know what causes the delay in install
ing the power to turn Sth street
bridge. The bridge has been turned
by hand for several weeks. Smugler
explained that although the new mo-
tor is installed some parts are missing.
He said the bridge committee will
o. f. none OF the bridge bills until the
whole thing Is in ship shape. 1t is
necessary to keep the ice out of both
channels as one ice free channel per-
mits the ice III the other to push the
bridge out Of center. Some aldermen
thought hat the smaller car ferries
could occasionally use the north side
but Smugler said that there is no pro
lection piling on that side. So Mr..
Gaedke can get out his old saws and go
to it again as the city dads do not be-
lieve in tug bills.
BY unanimous vote the council ap-
proved of the city attorneys recon-
menuatlon tnat the city appeal TO the
supreme court from the decision of
Judge Burnell in holding that ma
jority vote of had effected The vaca-
tion Of the stub Of south 7th street in
favor Of the Land & Fuel company
The matter will probably be heard at
Madison early in the new year.
The Wisconsin Public Service com
pany in compliance with its new fran
chise provision to not serve customers
with installations under 40 II. p. has
directed its six consumers on its form
er small west side circuit to buy from
the city. So announced Mc'keough
for the committee on utilities.

OBITUARY..

Capt. Joseph Edwards passed away
at the home of his son William at Chi
cago last Sunday. The remains were
brought here Tuesday and Inferred at
Evergreen yesterday. In his passing
there disappeared the last link that
bound the present generation to the
days of first settlement of this region
The much abused expression "old
settler" or even "pioneer," did not
properly classify him. He was more
than either of them expresses. He was
first settler. He was in ut the max
ing 81 years ago. This lake shore re-
gion was opened for settlement in 1886
and that spring there came some lum'
bermen. The following fall Joseph
Edwards, 5 years old, came to Mant-
owoc with his parents. The same year
there came Perry Smith and the next
spring Harvey Hubbard, both children
and the three lived generation after
all there contemporary pioneers, had
gone. Now Capt. Edwards, the last of
the trio, goes ocross and leaves big
gap between the settlement of this re.
gion and the Oldest resident. His faith
er built the first lake craft built at
Manitowoc and laid the foundation of
our shipbuilding industry. Capt Ed
wards himself was a vessel master
sailing out of Manitowoc for many
years and commanded some fine ships.
His last marine service was on tugs and
he proceeded Capt. Gilbraith in com
mand of the Goodrich company's Arc
tic which still plies our river.
He was good man in his calling.
He was taciturn quiet, and unassum
ing in demeanor and likable as friend
or companion. He reared large fam
lily and he is survived by his widow
one son and four daughters. Many an
old resident heard Of his passing with
regret.
Mrs. Petrina Christensen, widow of
the late Capt G. D. Christensen, died
Sunday at the home Of her grand
daughter, Mrs. Albert Schulz, at Rib
Lake, Wis. The deceased left here
last June to make her home with Mrs.
Schulz at Rib Lake.
The deceased was 10 years of age,
and was pioneer resident OF Manito
voc. Besides the granddaughter at
Rib Lake, one son, Charles Christian
sen, North Sixth Street, this city, sur.
wives.
Her body was brought here for buri-
al. The funeral was held Tuesday
afternoon. Rev. Smith of ST. Paul's
M. E. church ofiiciated.
Charles Greve, father of Mrs.
Michael II. Dempsey of this city, died
yesterday in Chicago after an illness Of
nearly year, aged 10 years. He for
merly resided here but had been a
resident of Chicago since 1870 and had
been manager of the e. j. Lehman
estate OF that city since 1890. He was
\ member of the Chicago Athletic,
South Shore Country, and Press clubs
and the Chicago real estate board.
he is survived by four children, Mrs.
Dempsey Of this city and Mrs. Albert
Seegert, Henry Greve and Cora Greve,
of Chicago, aud also five grand chill
dren.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
afternoon. Mr.. and Mrs. M. III. Demp-
sey are at Chicago for the funeral.
