An immediate increase from / to
l 1-2 cents a pound in the postage
rates on newspapers and periodicals
for this year and to 2 cents a pound
next year is provided in the postoffice
appropriation bill ordered reported to

The senate committee also recon-
mended an amendment reducing the
rate on drop letters in places having
no free dilivery and on rural routes
from 2 cents to 1 cent. This action
if it passes will prove an additional

BUCK DEER STARTLES
PLEASANT PRAIRIE
Wild Deer Runs Along the Railway
Track and Keeps Pace With Train
on Thursday Afternoon.

It's against the law to shoot deer in
Kenosha county, either in or out of
season. IF it were not for the pesky
law some people out in the town of
Pleasant Prairie would be feasting on
venison steaks today. Years ago the
deer ran wild in Kenosha county the
same as in many other parts Of Wis
consin but in the memory of the oldest
citizen of the town of Pleasant Prairie
a wild deer had not been seen in that
county until Thursday afternoon. Men
on the train coming in from the west
Thursday afternoon sighted a good
sized buck. He kept pace with the
train for quite distance. 1t is i'm
possible to account for the presence Of
the buck in Pleasant Prairie. It was
thought possible that he might have
escaped from some game preserve and
wandered over into this county, but
messages from Madison declare that all
the tame deer in the state are account
ed for. The big buck is still roaming
along the O'Pleine River out on the
prairie and with the protection of the
law it is possible that he will adopt
Kenosha county as his home.

VISION OF PRISON CALLS
AUSTRIAN TO LOYALTY

I would rather see Germany lick
the United States than to see America
win the war; is one disloyal remark
alleged to have been made BY Anton
Zeitler, Kenosha county man, and
the one which lead to his arrest and
his Imprisonment awaiting trial. Zeit-
Ter claims to be an Austrian citizen
and when arrested was wearing an
American flag in the pocket of his
coat. When questioned as to the-wear-
ing Of the flag he told the government
officials that he wore it for looks
but that he would prefer that it should
be an Austriaon flag. He reiterated
the disloyal remarks when he was sum-
moned to Postmaster German Office
Saturday and for safe keeping was
taken to the "cooler' in the Munich
pal building and will be taken to Mil
waukee this evening to answer federal
charges. When Zeitler saw that he
was facing a jail sentence he began
to recall his statements and by the
time he arrived at the police office he
was denying all of the alleged disloyal
remarks. He is expected to explain all
this quick change Of heart and allegi-
ance to the federal judge on Wednesday.

Has Mo Exemption Claim.

Ward Hiram Shields, son of Emmett
Shields of the town Of Bristol, and
brother-in-law of Mayor Charles H.
Pfennig, is ready to come all the way
from Italy to fight in the armies of
the United States. This morning
Sheriff Hermann received a letter
from Italy which had been on the
road for many weeks and which con-
tanned the registration card of Mr..
Shields. Several years ago Mr.. Shields
went abroad to represent the Case
company Of Racine in some Of the
countries of Southern Europe. At the
time of the call for registration for
men for army service Mr.. Shields was
in Naples and in keeping with all
Americans he appeared before Jay
White, American consul at Naples, and
was formerly registered. He made no
claim for exemption. His case is to
be handled by the county exemption
board and if he is called for service he
must return at once from Italy and re-
port to the colors. Under the ruling
Of the provost marshal the physical ex-
animation may be made in Italy.
