Pleasant Prairie Soldier
Dies After Losing His
Leg on the Battle
Field.
P iRENTS EXPECTED RETURN
Hopes are Blasted by Letter From
Army Officer in Charge of Burials in
French Territory Private
George Mischo Wounded.

The town of Pleasant Prairie has
added another gold star to its service
flag as on Monday Mr.. and Mrs. Louis
Newyear of that town received word
from France that their son Private
Frank Newyear had been buried in
France on January Goth. The notice
Of his death has not as yet been re-
ceived from Washington and the War
Department but the letter from over
seas came from the army official in
charge of one of the little American
grave yards back of the lines and it
told of that fact that young New
year was buried with all the honors
of the soldier.
Private Newyear was twenty three
years Of age. He was formerly en-
ployed at the plant of the Hercules
powder company but he was one of the
first men from Pleasant Prairie to
join the army. He went as volun-
teer and was in France for many
months. Some time ago members of
his family received word that he had
been severely wounded in action. It
was stated that he had one Of his
legs shot away on the field of battle
but the letter brought the information
that young Newyear was getting along
splendidly and that there was hope for
his recovery and an early return to the
states. Members of the family were
hoping for his return when they re-
ceived the letter from the "Graves
Division on Monday, telling Of his
being laid at rest under the flag i'll
sunny France.
His remains may be brought back
to Pleasant Prairie for interment af-
ter the peace treaties have been
signed. fo aJn1 Ct a2aa's3
Private N6ischo Wounded.
Letters received from the War De-
partment on Monday announced that
private George A. Mischo Of Kenosha
had been wounded in action on October
10th. The letter stated that the de-
gree OF Ills WUunu udu HOt UeGH u6-
termined up to the time information
was cabled from France. It is pos
sible that before this time Private
Mischo is back with his company. The
message came to Mrs. Gertrude Mischo
his mother. Mrs. Mischo died some two
weeks ago and the report Of the young
man s sacrifice was given out by his
brother Ben Mischo. Private Mischo
was member Of the eighty fifth divi-
sion of the infantry and he was train
ed at Camp Custer. Reports from
overseas announce that casuals of the
85th Division are to be returned to
this country at once and Private Mis-
cho may be among that number.

Now that the death warrant for the
old switch tracks on Chicago street
has been signed it might be just as
well to start work on the tracks on
Main street. The slogan should now
be "Put 'em down. and "Not take
them up We need these tracks for
the service Of great industry but
properly depressed they will serve that
industry in an infinitely better way.

Keep the dust down these days.
Use the street sprinkler and make the

We are inclined to agree with Levy
Mayer that the Senate committee
should have better sense than to be led
to believe that he would try to bride
Francis Heney. The whole record of
bHeney has been such as to suggest that
he is bride proof.

No we were not of the opinion that
boys are being made efeminate be-
cause they learn how to make a pie in
the public schools. It's real science
to make a real pie and the boy who
learns one real science is in line for
rapid development along other lines.
Any thing that develops the resources
Of boyhood is a mighty good kind
of education.

King George showed excellent sense
in making his strong plea for better

serves.

MAY TRADE "OUTSIDE Rail" "
Local Brokers Consider Boston Plan
for Unlisted SELLING

\ movement has been started in this
city in favor of trading ''outsidc the

tor is only in the tentative stage. but
ii is planned eventually TO bring tho
question up before the governing com

bcrs are already investigating tho mat.
ter and favor the plan.

whore trading outside the rail has been
in operation for some months.
The governing committee of the Ros-
ton Stock Exchange adopted a rcsolu-
tion under date of April > which read
as follows:
Voted, that authority be given the
committee on stock list subject to re
vision by the governing committee, TO
permit trading on the floor of the ex-
change from time to time on such lIn
listed securities as in its Judgment
special conditions make desirable. All
transactions in such securities must be
quoted on the tape. but need not appear
on the daily sheets of the exchange.
nor shall postings of dividends, opening
and closing Of books. ETC.. be expected
from the exchange. 1t is to be under
stood that this is permission to be
granted only where such publicity of
quotation appears to be necessary in the
interest of the public and for the well
fare of the exchange"
1t is understood that the proposal for
trading in Philadelphia. in unlisted
stocks as favored by certain members
of the exchange would not limit the
trading of stocks which are later to be
listed, as in the case in Boston, but
seeks approval for trading in other Sc
curities for which there is a good mar
kct here. and which may or may not
later be listed. There are number of
such issues, which ii is felt could be
traded in outside the rail, thus keeping
the commission for executing the orders
in this city.
