NOTICE TO READER.

The Boy Scouts of st. Joseph left
Sunday for q weeks encampment,
which they expected to spend on the
Bowie tract in the first ward, but one
one day and::a night was all the young
Americans could stand, for the enemy
-mosquetoes-descended on them In
solid formation and attacked them
forward and aft, by plstoons and reg
iments, and utterly routed them. The
order to retreat was not given until
next day, but some of the soldiers did
not wait for the order but took French
leave during the still hours of the
night and footed 1t back - miles to
st. Joseph. They claim that mos.
quito bars offered but feeble resistance
to the attacks which were hurled
against the breastworks by the enemy
and unconditional cspitulation was the
only course open to the Scouts. Re.
to st. Joseph for reinforce
ments the Scouts decided to change
their camp to Bellevue on Lake Bruin,
where they are enjoying . very pleas
ant outing and practically free from
visitors. |

SUGGESTS COTTON ARMoR TO protect
U.S.. SHIPS.

Ships incased in an armor OF cotton
bales may safely sail the seas and defy
the menace of German submarines,
according to the theory of Sidney
Wise of this city who has written the
war department outlining his idea in
detail.
Mr.'Wise'says that he has:observed
that q 44-calibre Winchester bullet will
not penetrate q bale of cotton more
than an inch, and in his communica-
ton to the government ,hel calls at
tention to this fact. In his letter,
which went forward, several days ago,
he gave what he considered to be the
best plan for arranging the cotton in
order to best protect the ships. A re-
ply from the war department is now
daily expected. On account of the
possibility of his idea T..being valuable
information that should be kept mil
itsry secret, Mr.. Wise is not yet ready
to announce his full plan, until he has
been further advised.-Nstchez Dem

EXEMPTION Oh. ACCOUNT OF DEPENDENCE

BY the time the war department gets
through experimenting the draft law
there will be but few exemptions left.
The method by which the present
drastic system has been evolved from
an innocent looking law apparently
full of loop holes is a most remarkable
diplomatic success.
Had its far-resching effects been an
ticipated 1t is more than probable that
1t would haye received pronounced
opposition In congress.
The rigid restriction of the exemp-
tons made In favor Of dependents is
not apt to add popularity to the draft.
The department has practically elimi-
mated exemptions based upon depend
ence Of the conscript's family.
No one with conception of justice
will advocate the restriction of this
clause to the extent that Is now being
suggested to local boards. The clause
has been interpreted out OF existance.

The people of the Tensas parish
have tried to accept the late and un.
satisfactory schedule in vogue on the
NJ, H. & L. with little complaint, be-
lieving that 1t is the duty Of all to
make sacrifices for the national well
fare In time of war. But while agree
ing to put up with an inconvenient and
inadequate service It lie our right to
insist on actually having what the
present service is supposed to give rs
and among these promises is connec-
ton with the L. & A. at Ferridsy into
Vidslis. The NJ, h. & L. is scheduled
to arrive ct Ferridsy 1t $50 p. m. and
the L. & A. Ut Concordia station at
$50, thus giving NJ, H. & L. passen-
gers 30 minutes to catch the L. & A.
The distance from the Ferridsy depot,
where the M, II. & L. discharges pas
sengers, to Concordis station, is at
least half mile, without driveway or
road OF any kind for vehicles, and
passengers are compelled to count
cross-ties from one train to the other,
regardless OF age. physical disability,
baggage or weather. The two rail
roads are unrelated and neither en-.
beavers specially to work in conjunc-
ton with the other. In other words,
when one train is late the other does
not wait over time, and so passengers
IRE never certain OF making connec-
lion when half mile tramp with bag
gage In hand faces them. The Louis
ana Rail Road Commission should
compel the NJ, II. & L. to run over
he N. o. & N. w. tracks from Ferri-
lay to Concordis for accommodate
IT passengers into Vidalia and Nat
'hez. II the matter were called to the
'ttention Of the Commission we have
10 doubt the connection would be
'rdered ut once. It is sincerely to be
loped that there will be no funerals
rom Tensas parish into Natchez dur
ng operation of present schedule, for
would surely be task to carry q
'eavy casket from one train to anoth-
r, and all this trouble and inconve-
hence could 90 easily be obviated II
he connection requested were only
rdered by the Rail Road Commission.

An unfortunate tragedy occurred at
Waterproof on Wednesday evening,
resulting in the death by lightning Of
John Tesla, the 10 year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Tesla, highly re-
spected members of the Italian colony
OF thatltown.
About 4 O'Clock in the evening q
severe thunder storm passed over, ac-
compsnied by rain, and John, who
was out on the commons back of town
looking for bis horse, took refuge out
OF the rain under shed in the yard of
Mr.. Allen Shelton. While thus housed
from the weather q lightning bolt
struck . pigeon house adjoining the
'A0u' wrecking 1t badly, killing the
pigeons and tearing great hole in the
ground, and killing John instantly,
and also killing . horse standing In
the street nearby. It was some time
after the storm before Johns death
became known, and only after inves-
tigation OF the damage by the light
ming was begun was the body found.
It is not thought that John was ever
in this building In his life before and
the fact that he had just entered but q
few minutes before tn meet his death
seems like predestinstion. He was
fine boy and gave promise of making
s-splendid man andihis death Ut almost
the threshold OF young manhood cast
gloom over the entire town and re-
Elected to distant parts of the parish,
where he was known and liked, and
much sympathy was shown his grief
stricken parents and brothers and
sisters by the entire neighborhood.
The funeral was held on Thursday
from st. Francis Catholic church and
was attended by practically the entire
population Of Waterproof, while many
came from distance to offer conso-
lation to the family and attest the re.
spect and esteem with which deceased
was held. The remains were inferred
In the grave yard beside the church.
In common with their many friends
the Gazette extends deepest symps-
thy to the beresved family.

The tobacco crop is coming along
with rapid strides and the early fields
are now being topped.
Senator Knute Nelson was nominated

There is bit of pathos surrounding
the death of Steve Pratt, an engineer
for over 80 years on this division, for
he actually died at his post. When a
mile east of Milton the train came to a
stop. When the fireman reminded him
that they had not reached the station
he pulled the lever again and his train
ran by the usual stop without slowing
down. When another dead stop was
made the old engineer was discovered
sitting upright at his post unconscious.

Two Young Men Drown Sunday.


Two distressing drowning accidents
occurred in nearby lakes Sunday
through trying to allay the extreme
heat of the day by bathing and both
about the same hour of p. m. The
first was that of Thomas, the youngest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. T. F. McGinnity,
aged IL years. In company with his
cousin, Leonard Curran of this city,
the boys went to Lake Koshkonong
back of the Wesendonk farm for
swim. Taking boat they found on
the shore they rowed out few rods
into the lake and dove off of it for
time, both being able to swim. The
wind blowing off shore gradually took
the boat out farther into the lake.
Finally the McGinnity boy called for
help and Leonard went to his rescue
but after struggling for some time he
was unable to bring him to shore. Sew
eral on the bank rushed into the water
as far as they could wade and finally
reached limb to young Curran and he
was dragged out, but the McGinnity
boy sank and drowned in less than six
feet of water. The body was recover
ed short time later but could not be
resuscitated. Young McGinnity was
bright lad and a favorite in the neigh
borhood. The sympathy of the COM
munity is with the grief stricken fam
lily in their aff1iction. Funeral services
were held from st. Joseph's church
Tuesday morning, Rev. Father Harlin
officiating.
The second victim of sad drowning
was Herman Leland, aged18 years, en-
ployed on the farm of Henry Larson in
Albion. He was one of a party who
went with Chris Olstad to Rice lake
near the Prairie churches for swim
and had finished dressing when another
party of friends arrived. The wind
blew the hat of Ed Haugen into the
lake and Leland volunteered to go after
it. After swimming out several rods
and had just grasped the hat he was
taken with cramp and sank in about
IL feet of water. There was no boat
at hand and others on shore were un-
able to swim so the young man was
permitted to drown before their eyes.
Young Leland, whose home is at On
tario, Vernon county, has been attend
ing Albion academy during the last
school year and is spoken of as young
man of bright promise. A search for
his body was continued during the
evening and again on Monday when it
was recovered by hooks. His father
was notified by telegraph of the acct
dent and arrived on Tuesday to take
the body of his son to the home in
Ontario, Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1917-08-03

The dead body of Emil Leitz, who
lived alone in the village of Indian
Ford, was discovered in bed Tuesday
evening when the neighbors broke into
the house. He was last seen about his
home Sunday, and from appearances
he had undressed that evening and
after retiring had shot himself with a
revolver that lay by his side with two
empty chambers.
The deceased was about rs years of
age and since the tragic death of his
father, who hung himself in his barn a
few years ago.. had been living on the
homestead, his mother having gone to
live with his brother, a tenant on the
Geo. Coxhead farm. He is also sur
vived by two brothers, George and
Frank, both living in Fulton, and Sis
ter, Martha, of Chicago.
