COUNTY PIONEER DEAD.
Henry Tymeson, Well Known Resident
of Bristol, Dies at Hospital on
Thursday from Senility.

Henry Tymeson, nearly lifelong
resident Of Kenosha county, died at
four thirty Thursday afternoon at file
Kenosha Hospital from the weakness
incident to old age. The deceased was
a man with host Of friends but with
no near relatives in the county and
the events Of his life were very diff
fcult to obtain. He is known to have
been born in New York at least eighty
years ago. Before the war lie came to
the Bristol community where a life of
usefulness and honesty has built him a
reputation among the people with whom
he spent his long life. It is believed
that he is survived by two brothers
and sister in New York, whom friends
have known him to mention lately.
In recent years failing health forced
him to give up a life of activity and
due to his advanced age, and weakened
condition, death did not come as a
surprise. The deceased was brought to
the hospital only a few DAYS ago from
home near Somers where he had been
residing for only short time. The
funeral services will be held Saturday
afternoon from the ]. A. Crossin Chapel
after which interment will be made at
the Plank Road cemetery.

GIRLS DANCE FOR SOLDIERS.
"Girls of IT. Plan Grand Mid Sum
mer Dance for Friday, August 18th
as Benefit for Red Gross Funds.

That the girls of Kenosha are ready
to help the boys of Kenosha at the
front is shown by the extensive prep
arations which are being made for a
midsummer dance to be given Friday,
August 18th, at Carpenter Hall by
the ''Girls of IT, The entire proceeds
of the dance are to be given to the
local Red Cross fund as the organiza-
tion is a patriotic one, auxiliary to the
Grand Army Of the Republic, and
takes this method Of showing its pa
triotism The hall is to be decorated
by the girls with "Old Glory and
the flags Of our allies and patriotic mu-
sic by the McCaffery orchestra is to
emphasize the purpose of the dance.
The tickets for the dance, which are
to be sold for fifty cents, may be pro-
cured from any member of the COM
mittee, consisting of the Misses Doro-
thy Larsen, Florence and Elizabeth
Schulze, Alice Bennett, Grace Cox and
Mildred Mccoy. They will also be on
sale at Glerum s Book Store and it is
hoped, that although our soldier boys
will all probably be in the training
camps by that time, that patriotism
will prompt the ones fsback homeo to
help in this movement, which may fur
nlsh the funds to save the life of one
of our boys at the front.

GARBAGE MEN READY TO QUIT

On account of wrangle between the
garbage collectors and the health de-
partment which resulted in the gar
bage men being denied the use of the
public dump, the collection of garbage
in Kenosha stopped today regardless of
the fact that the temperature was way
up in the nineties. The men who have
been collecting garbage were recently
denied the use of the lake shore dump
and they had started dumping garbage
on the city dump on Lake avenue. Dr.
Nelson, in charge of the city collection,
declared that the city could not take
care of both the city and private col
lection and forbade the further use of
the dumping grounds by the private
collectors. The latter declared that
they would take their wagons off the
street as it would be impossible for
them to find a new dumping place. The
threat has caused the officials to speed
up plans for municipal collection,
It is scheduled so start on Wednes-
day with about FIVE hundred "custo-
mers' on the list.

Federal Inspection
To Take Place Here
Mem beTs of Company M to Remain in
Simmons Playground Camp Until
Passed by Colonel Jones.

Farewells to the members of Com
pany NJ Of the Fourth Wisconsin In
fantry may not be said this week, as a
report from Camp Douglas states that
the members Of this and other COM
panies in the Fourth Regiment will not
be ordered to Camp Douglas until af-
ter the men have been passed by the
federal inspectors. Col. E. n. Jones
of the federal army, is now in Wiscon-
sin to make these inspections and it is
expected that he will visit the camp
of Company NJ some time during the
present week. Members of the local
company are pretty well satisfied to
remain in Kenosha until called for act
ual service. They are well satisfied
with their camp and it is very improb-
able that they would be any better
off at Camp Douglas. However, the
men are anxious to get into actual
training and for this reason the visit
of Col. Jones is awaited with interest,
1t is believed that very large proper
ton Of the men enlisted in Kenosha

TELLsONE TOcOkMIT SUICIDE
German Who Declared He Would Die
Before He Would Fight Told to .sGo
to the Lake Plan to Take People
from Kenosha to Southern Camps.


eff that is the way you feel about
it you just walk right east to the
lake, This was the suggestion which
a federal official made to man in
Kenosha on Saturday afternoon when
that man declared to him that he
would rather commit suicide than go
to war against Germany. 1t is not of
record that the man walked "east
but he was placed on probation and
paroled to the postmaster pending some
further action by the federal officials.
Twelve more sedition mongers were up
before the federal officials on Saturday
evening and another classp came
in for instruction this afternoon.
The federal net promises to pull
in some men of social and official
prominence in Kenosha if these men
do not desist from disloya1 remarks
and get behind the government.
All of the men who were up for ex-
animation on Saturday were placed on
probation and notified that it was the
"'last chance The government agents
declared that the government was
through with warning men and that
in other cities men who showed a will
ingness to support seditious movements
were being sent to the federal prison
or to camps in the south where they
will be held until the end of the war
as prisoners of war. Other people
who may be guilty Of sedition
face prison terms.
"The name Of one old man who has
been prominent in the life Of Kenosha,
has been sent to us, said one of the
government agents today. eve know
the things that he has been saying
against the government and these must
cease at once or his gray hairs and
honorable service will not save him
from prosecution. We are hopeful
that the warning we have given
will be sufficient to cause him to
forget his pro-German feeling and re-
instate his patriotism
Permits fer the alien enemies are
beginning to arrive in Kenosha. They
are being issued by the United States
marshal in Milwaukee just as rapidly
as he can go over the applications. It
is declared that permits will probably
be refused to some twenty-five of the
alien enemies in Kenosha on account
Of the applications not being satisfac-
tory to the federal officials.
Just what will be done with the
men who are refused permits is a mat
ter of considerable concern in Keno
sha No statement has been made by
federal officials along these lines. In
Milwaukee men refused permits have
been placed on parole pending good
behaviour.

SWIMMERS SWARM BEACH.

Managers House Turned into Dressing
Room to Accommodate Crowd Who
Flocked to the Beach on Sunday.
Five thousand Kenosha people sought
relief from the intense heat Sunday
afternoon by going to the municipal
beach and crowding the accommoda-
tions offered. Manager Frazier rose to
the occasion by offering the hospitality
or his home as dressing room for
women and three hundred women ac-
cepted this opportunity to take a
plunge in the lake. Every locker was
taken early in the afternoon and manv
OF them were occupied by two or more
bathers. The lake had just enough
chill to be invigorating and was thor
oughly enjoyed by the thousands who
swarmed there. Plans have been com
pleted to install rope ladders on the
north side of the government pier, an
Improvement which will be welcomed
by the many Kenosha divers who have
heretofore had difficulty in finding a
good place for the plunge.

hundreds Of Kenosha people babe fare
well to twelve valiant sons Of this city,
who entrained at Racine this morning
with Ambulance Company No. 2 for

out enmasse to bid the soldiers good
luck and goodbye as the boys from
Racine and Kenosha CALAMITY board
ed the cars of the special train
which was to carry them to the
scene Of training.
The Ambulance Company which en-
trained is to be an adjunct to the COM

which have been formed in this vicinity
and it's personnel while mostly com
posed Of Racine youths, has also the
representation from Kenosha listed
above. They are to serve as truck

suppressed their fears as they waved
smiling farewell to their sons;

the concentrations of citizens by the
score, who, although they could not in

thankful that the city would be repre-
sented by those who have so great a
part in lessoning the casualties which
must follow in the wake of those fight

to enter the ranks of the volunteers

fcers are not allowed to receive any
mar who has received his notification
to appear before the exemption board
for examination. In addition to these
applications there were others, eight
Of whom were examined and accepted
by the company.
Two Racine men, Harry NJ. Larsen
and Paul Race, came to Kenosha to
enlist because there is at the present
time no company forming in our
neighboring city and the recruits
want to get into the service as
soon as possible.
One hundred and thirty strong, the
soldiers are still hopeful that twenty
more will volunteer before the orders
come to break camp and entrain for
the camp. The excellen. quarters now
accorded the ssSammies'' and the
cheerful news from Camp Douglas has
gone far in helping with the recruiting
of the past week.

TINSLEY WILL TAKE
U. S. AVIATION TEST
Will Try for Commission in U. S.
Aviation Corps Today in
St. Louis.

A. NJ. Tinsley, general manager of
the local branch of the Missouri Pub
lie Utilities Co., departed yesterday
afternoon for st. Louis, to take the
examination for d commission as lieu
tenant in the aviation corps of the
United States Army. The examination
viii be held today.
Mr.. Tinsley has been an enthusiastic
aviator, and has made several efforts
to establish an aviation school near
the Cape, under the supervision and
control of the United States Govern
ment. He has selected a site south of
the Cape for the institution, and the
grounds are said to be the most suit
able place for both aeroplanes and
hydroaeroplanes.
Several days ago Dir. Tinsley re-
ceived a letter from the Aviation De-
partment of the Army, advising him
that an aviation school would soon be
located in the Mississippi Valley. He
received the information in answer to
a letter he wrote to the War Depart
ment asking that Government school
for aviation be established near the
Cape.
