OBSERVE GOLDEN
WEDDING TODAY
Mr.. and Mrs. T. w. Miller
Pass 50th Milestone of
Married Life.
WERE CITY PIONEERS
(From Mondays Daily


Fifty years ago this morning at St.
George church occurred the marriage
of Miss Eliza Zapf and Theodore w.
Miller and today at the Miller nome,
531 Park street, Mr.. and Mrs. Miller
were receiving the congratulations of
their friends on their golden we'd
ding anniversary.
Mrs. Miller is in feeble health and
on that account it was impossible to
arrange for a formal celebration of
the notable anniversary but during the
day many of the friends of the pio-
neers called at the home to express
their congratulations and members of
the Miller family from different
parts of the country sent messages
of congratulations.
Mr. and Mrs. Miller were married
by the Rev. Father Better, one of the
best. known of the pioneer priests of
the St. George parish. Their wedding
came the day after the great Chicago
fire and it was one of the notable we'd
dings of pioneer days in Kenosha
Only two of the members of the we'd
ding party survive today. They were
Mrs. Addie Smith of Kenosha, and
Mrs. Caroline Brunk of Milwaukee,
both sisters Of Mrs. Miller and both of
whom had acted as attendants at the
wedding on October 10, 1871.
From Pioneer Families.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Miller are men,
bers of pioneer families of Southport
and Kenosha Mr.. Miller, who is now
seventy eight years of age, is "a son of
Henry Miller who came to Southport
from Germany in 1847 and Mrs. Miller
is daughter of Albert Zapf who came
with his family from Germany to Ke-
nosha in 1852 They have spent their
entire life in Kenosha and have been
active in the work of the city. For
many years Mr.. Miller served as chief
engineer of the Kenosha Water depart
ment and he gave up his work only
after he had passed the three score
and ten mark.
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller have four child
rem living; Mrs. A. E. Ole and Mrs.
John Axtel Of Milwaukee, Mrs. Joseph
Reiber of Kenosha, and Frank J. Miller
residing at Harrison, Ohio.
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller are among the
most respected of the pioneer resi-
dents of Kenosha and the passing Of
the fftieth mile stone of their married
life was an event of unusual interest.

Frenchmen Pay
Many War Taxes
French People Are Paying Many I'm
usual Taxes az Result of the
World War.
by Associated Pressl

Paris.-The French people are pay
ing many unusual taxes as a result of
the heavy burdens imposed by the war.
The ministry of finances states that
there are 1873 persons in the country
who have incomes of 100000 francs
or more. Taxes are collected on all
and any paper used in the Transaction
of current business in France. The
little revenue stamp is ever present on
checks, invoices, promissory notes,
bills receivable, bills Of lading and re-
ceipts. If one desires to travel to Nice
or to any other points in FI~nce, be-
sides paying 1909 more for his fare
than he would before the war, he will
have to pay 1870 for a government tax
and a neat little stamp on his berth
ticket in the sleeping car will cost him
another 1879.
If he desires to send letters from
Nice to his friends in Paris or in for
eign countries, he will find that the
cost of the former will be Is confines
instead of 10, and for the latter 81
confines, as compared with 10 before
the war. Should post card suffice his
epistolary needs, he will pay 20 cen
times instead Of l sou.
The waiter brings him his bill for
the amount of his dinner and he notes
a charge of 1919 is added to the total
of the bill as government tax. It is
the last line. Tickets to the theatre
are taxed 1870. At the race track, if
he bets 100 francs, he will find that he
has only wagered 90. The government
retains 1919 as against 5 before the
war. The midnette who signs the re-
ceipt for the rs or 80 francs of her
weekly wages, has to obliterate lit
tie government stamp Of rs confines
with her signature.
The most profitable tax in France is
that on tobacco, which has been in
creased about three-fold since 1914 and
which brought into the French treas
ury for the year 1920, 816,000,00G
francs, as against the income tax of
812, 100000 francs.

GRIZZLED CHIEF
HANGS UP HEI, MET
"Tony" P. Hansen, West
Side Fire Captain to
End Long Service.
is RETIRED ON PAY
Old Time Captain Has Many
Thrilling Experiences of
Fireman Days.

"How does it feel to be about to
retire after twenty-five years service
on the Kenosha fire department ?''
asked Tony P. Hansen, chief of the
west side station. "Well, l don't just
know" Tony Hansen is an old-time
fireman and dates his first attendance
in the role of a fireman back in 1870.
He was then volunteer fireman and
received no compensation.
Il suppose that after I get my re-
tirement papers and wake up in the
night and hear the screeching of the
fire whistle in my ears, that I'll want
to be back with the boys. It's won
derful thing you know to go to fire."
Tony remarked. "The smell of burn
ing building is to the nostrils of a
fireman what the smell Of well-cooked
food is to starving man and then
after I'm retired I suppose that I'll
want to be back with the boys. They
are fine lot of fellows, every one of
them," he said.
Remembers Big Fires.
What big fires have I gone to? Well,
there have been several big blazes
since l have been on the pay end of
the fire game. Perhaps the biggest
was in 1911 when the Malt House
burned. guess that we were out to
that place practically every night for
eight weeks before we finally got that
thing out. 1t smouldered and smould-
cred and wouldn't give a bit of trouble
until about three o'clock in the morn
ing when all good firemen are asleep
and then it would burst into flames.
And then we had to go of course. But
that's all in the game" he added with
a smile.
Carried Woman on Back.
Upon being asked if he had ever
rescued any people, Tony hesitated and
then remarked that he had saved hu-
man life while a fireman. "There was
one woman that carried down on my
back once" Tony said with a PARKWAY
look in his eyes. But outside of that
one little remark Tony wouldn't say
anything. Hansen is fireman of the
old school and is booster for the fire
boys. He keeps little scrap-book and
pastes in it any and all articles per-
tanning to the fire department. He is
for the platoon system and was in
dignant that Racine hadn't adopted the
scheme. "The platoon system of fire
control is the best thing yet devised
for the safety of any city. Statistics
will show that the most fires break
out at meal time when most of the
firemen are home to their meals. The
platoon system would do away with this
and would greatly protect the city
Tony concluded, and he turned to his
paper and started to read about the
world series.

Let me close with the statement that
the governor has at all times been
ready and willing to employ special
counsel for the attorney general in the
matter before US, but the attorney gem
eral has blocked that purpose by his
refusal to accept such counsel.
That such counsel, if appointed,
would have been an employee under
the attorney general and not under the
governor, shows clearly by the legis
lature providing for the payment of
his salary out of the attorney generals
funds as shown by section zoos as
well as by all the statutes above quot
ed, when taken as a whole.
