BILLY" BALL NOW
WITH THE REGULARS
Kenoshan Who Went Away With Co. M
Drops Right in to Fill Vacancies in
Company Fresh From Trenches.

Billy" Ball, one Of the most popu-
lar Kenosha men who went away with
old Company NJ, has been switched
again and now he is brigaded with the
Company D of the 10th of the regular
army. 1t can be said that this company
has had its baptism of fire in the
trenches and that the former Kenosha
boy is now on tap right near the front
line. In a letter sent to the old home
folks he tells of his enthusiasm, for the
service and declares that he does not
care how many times they switch him
so long as he has a chance to serve
under the folds of Old. Glory. He adj
mits that he is in real bunch of
soldiers who have fighting blood enough
to make up a regiment.

TOTAL ECLIPSE TO BE
SEEN BY KENOSHANS
sun is to Hide its Face on the After
noon of June 9th and Eclipse
is Widely Visible.

Kenoshans will have an opportunity
to witness a total eclipse of the sun on
the afternoon Of June 5. The eclipse
will bear watching from about 80 un-
til SHUTDOWN for, according to authori-
ties it will be about that hour before
the moon and sun have completely
passed each other, one on each side
of the earth.
According to the authority on this
subject, in Milwaukee, w. P. Stewart,
the shadows will first appear at sun
rise on June 9. It will then be June
8 in the United States. The eclipse
will be viewed first on the little is
land of Borodino, off the coast of ia
pan.
It will then sweep eastward across
the Pacific and, having by this time,
obtained speed of thirty three miles
a minute, will arrive two hours and
fifteen minutes later or, at 1906 p. m.
Pacific time at the mouth Of the Col
umbia river in Washington state.
For the next forty-seven minutes
people in every part Of the United
States - in those sections, of course,
favored with clear skies will be
privileged to witness the eclipse, to-
tai or partial, according to the locality,
such has not been seen here for many
years.
The last great eclipse Of the sun, OBJ
served in America, was that of May
20, 1900, but the one Of June next will
sprpass, it both in total path, length
and the available territory which it
covers.
From the Columbia river the path Of
the total esclipse will sweep southeast,
will pass the Mississippi river at $50
lip. m. central time, and will leave the
coast of Florida at 7:30. Three min
ntes later it will be in the sunset, 400
miles at sea near the Bahama islands.
The most interesting time to view
the eclipse in Kenosha will be about 8
in the afternoon.

DEATH FOLLOWS ACCIDENT
Man for Whom Search Had Been Made
for Years Leaves Modest Fortune
and Relatives Go to Claim It--Last

A Kenosha mystery Of more than
twenty five years standing has been
solved by the death of Nicholas Bis
enius which occurred ON April 14th at
Oregon City, Oregon,
Bisenius who was a member of one
Of the old families of Kenosha dis
appeared twenty five years ago and
since that time many efforts had been
made to get some trace of him, He
had left Kenosha to so to the great
west to make his fortune and the last
word that any Of his relatives had of
him was when he sailed ON a Pacific
Ocean steamer from one of the Pacific
coasts.
Today Mrs, Margaretha Steinmetz
sister is on her way to Oregon City
to ask for the administration of his
estate which is said to be considerable.
Bisenius died at Oregon city as a
result Of injuries received while work
ing in the plant Of the Crown,William-
cite Paper Company there and tele-
grams received from the Oregon city de,
clare that he not only left a consider.
able estate consisting of property in
that part of Oregon but as well that
his estate has an excellent claim
against the paper company.
There were two members of the Bis
enius family who were missing for a
considerable time but Nicholas Bis
enius had been gone for so long q
time that it was believed that he was
dead and when a message came saying
that the man was near death at Oregon
City the relatives supposed that it was
John Bisenius another brother who dis
appeared some twelve years ago and
who has not since been heard from.
Nicholas Bisenius will be remember.
ed by the older residents of the city
He was great believer in the West
and \he often declared that when he
went west he was going to stay until
he made fortune. That he was well
on the way to carry out his promise
when he met with fatal accident is
shown by the large estate he left.
Three sisters and two brothers will
be claimants to the estate. The sis

PROTEST TO COURT
ON ATTORNEYS CHARGES
Racine and Kenoslla County Farmers
Object to the High Charges on
Draining Ditch

Charging that excessive amounts
have been expended on attorneys lob
hying for laws creating new drainage
districts, farmers of Yorkville and
Raymond and Somers have petitioned
Judge Belden to set aside the findings
Of the commissioners appointed in the
Root River Drainage District.
Henry Pfeiffer of Kenosha county,
one of the commissioners. has APP
pealed to the court for permission to-
have his name stricken from the re-
port, claiming that he signed it pro
forma though he did not desire to do
so.
In the petition filed in the circuit
court it is asked that the district be
divided into two, one for Racine
county and the other for Kenosha
county. This is asked because of the
vast difference in assessments Of the
two counties on property which may
be improved by the drainage canal,
1t is charged that $500 has al
ready been paid OUT for attorneys
services and other expenses and that
the amount of $711 has been charged
by attorneys who were at Madison
seeking to have laws enacted which
would improve conditions where it was
desired to establish drainage districts
The petition urges Judge Belden to
set aside a day when the petitioners,
owners of land in the drainage district,
can be heard and show cause why the
report of benefits and damages should
not be approved by the court

CAPT. WHITE ALSO SPEAKS
Tells Old Fellow Workers of What Uncle
Sam Is Doing in Army Camps TO Aid
Battle for World Wide Democracy
Many Bonds Subscribed For.

The Macomber and White Wire Rope
Factory officials are doing their utmost
to make this Company 100 per cent per-
feet i'll the Third Liberty Loan drive.
Before his some 40 employees, from
the office to bench, George White,
president of the company made STIR
ring appeal to those few in the com
pany employ who had not SUD
scribed for bonds. $15.600 has already
beer invested in the Third Loan by the
employees alone and $4,000 more by
employees alone and $4,000 more by
the company.
At 4:30 sharp the engines stopped
thelr humming the typewriters ceased
and office and factory workers poured
out into the open to little platform
specially built for the occasion from
which Mr.. White addressed them. He
was enthusiastic over the success of
inc drive.
The trustees of the company he
said, were amazed at the amount of
bonds sold to the employees. Still We
are not 100 percent perfect. There are
some of You who have not yet sub
scribed.
You say that you cannot afford it.
'T say that you can afford it and not
only that but that YOU cannot afford
not to afford it. We have only just
begun our share in the war and the
government is going to ask good deal
more from us. Tt is going to ask until
if hurts and hurts hard
Do YOU men realize wnat a snap YOU
have here9 Do you men realize that if
you were not exempt from the draft
to do government work here in safe
and comparatively comfortable factory
you would be over in the trenches en-
during privations and facing volleys
Of cold steel. Think it over.
In buying these bonds you are not
only helping to supply our men with
necessities and comforts but you are
making small sacrifice which will al.
ways be remembered. After this war
there is going to be a lot of talk and
those yet unborn will ask you what
you did for your country. What will
you have to tell -
Mr.. White continued his address
with reasons for our fighting Germany
with the atocrities and bulldog
Prussianism Of the foe until his au
dience was visibly moved.
With message of appreciation from
the trustees to the employees for their
splendid patriotism and final appeal
for 1000 perfection. Mr. White closed
his speech amid showers of applause
Capt. Jessel White was as enthus.
iastically received as was his father
In q heart to heart talk he told his
old fellow employees Of all his ex
periences since he left for Camp Gus
ter one year ago. He gave the daily
routine of camp life and interesting
stories of camp happenings.
The Macomber and White Co., are
certainly a credit to Kenosha in this
Third Liberty Loan drive and it is ex-
pected that it will not be many days
before they will be 1000 perfect in
patriotic efficiency.

G.. A. R. NOT TO TAKE
SOLDIERS OF NEW ARMY
Gel, j. A. Wattrous Says That Grand
Army Must Remain Distinct Or
ganization of Civil War Veterans.

"Talk about the Grand Army of the
Republic taking in soldiers and sal
lcrs of other wars is the veriest non
sense, +" said Col J. A. Watrous, in
discussing the report that a constitu-
tional amendment may be made by
the organization.
Repeatedly the National Encamp-
ment has voted almost unanimously
against admitting to membership
their own sons of the Sons Of Vet
Grams order.
"The Grand Army of the Republic
is based upon service in the civil war,
and that only, hence it stands to rea-
son that the Sons of Veterans and
the soldiers of other wars can not
be made members. It is perfectly
safe to say that not one in ten thou
sand among soldiers of other wars
would ask the Grand Army to admit
them to membership, and I am sure
that none of the millions of the pre-
sent war would think of making such
request.
"The Spanish war boys have their
own society The boys of this war
will have their own, probably or the
Grand Army of the World.
When the last old Grand Army of
the Republic man is mustered out
it is hoped that the order will be only
a memory-that the people will not
allow the name to be used by any
body of men for centuries to come,
if ever"

expect a special invitation to take his
