A Political History of Wisconsin.

The undersigned has in preparation
Political History of Wisconsin, which
will appear, in an abbreviated form, in
the Milwaukee Sunday Sentinel, to be
concluded in Il or 15 weeks. It will
then be issued in book form. 1t will
not deal with any but political subjects.
The writer will be thankful for any ma
terial that will aid him in his work, in
the shape of fletters, manuscripts, papers,
essays, anecdotes, iecollections, stories,
sketches, speeches, pamphlets, or news
paper clippings, or for any information
or suggestions from any source. Old
letters from senators, representatives,
governors, state officers, members of
the legislature, private individuals and

desirable, and in all cases they will be
returned, if the request is made.

Twin City Electric Co.

The Board of Directors of the Twin
City Electric company-Messrs. John
A. Gavnor, John Schnabel, F. J. Wood,
E. P. Arpin and Geo. M. Hill--met and
organized for active business Wednes-
day evening of last week by election of
the following officers:
President-F. J. Wood.
Treasurer-Geo. M. Hill.
Secretary-E. P. Arpin.
Mr.. j. A. Gaynor was appointed to
draw up and secure from the cities of
Grand Rapids and Centralia franchise
for the above company. 1t is the pres
ent purpose of the board of directors to
prepare the new company not only for
furnishing light to our cities and the
residences therein, but also to furnish
cheap power to any and all manufact-
urers, printing houses, and other
establishments IN the twin cities where
machinery is used requiring motive pow
er. Of course this latter proposition
cannot be reached in its fullness until
the completion of the Consolidated
Water Power Co. IS great dam across the
Wisconsin river which, it is anxiously
hoped will he put in this spring. The
Twin City Electric Co. is capitalized at
$4,000. Their plans are not yet ma
tured enough to state when they can be
in readiness to furnish light and power,

will hasten details as speedily as posi-

tried in our city schools during the
short winter days. All departments
dismiss by 3:45 p. M, those above the
fourth grade having only five minute

and the present arrangement was the

A GALATEA IN MODERN LIFE.

Miss Elida WilDer of San Francisco is a modern Galatea. Seven weeks ago while resting in her room she was overcome by monoxide gas poison. She was found unconscious next morning. Since then. though. physically alive breathing, sleping and taking nourish- ment-she has been dead mentally. Her power of speech and motion has desert ed her and she is apparently unconsci- ous of her surroundings. The most eminent physicians in the state are baff1ed and they cannot even advance theory as to the cause of the strange condition of the young woman.
 Dr. George w. Fuller, the attending physician, has watched Miss Wilber with untiring care, but very little inn provement is discernible. When suffer- ing she makes faint cry, which ceases immediately the pain, is gone. There is nothing tosbe done for the case but wait.
 No paralysis or hysteria has mani fested itself, save this strange paraly- sis of the brain, if such it can be called. With anxiety and sorrow heI friends watch constantly for the first signs of improvement. Her food is administered with tube, and although her temperature has fallen, no other changes have manifested themselves Chicago Inter-Ocean.

LOSS OF THE FOSCOLIA.
Underwriters Decide That It Was
 Owing to the Risks of War

New York, June 14.-Loca1 under writers interested in the hull and car go of the British steamer Foscolia, which was totally lost by collision with the United States cruiser Columbia, decided at a meeting recently held to consider their position that no legal liability attached to the policies of ma
 rine insurance except in those cases where the assured had taken the pre- caution to take out "war covers" The general feeling seemed to be that every effort should be made to resist claims for loss occasioned through the col lision, excepting where full war risk covers were given. The underwriters were unanimously of opinion that the loss of the steamer and her valuable cargo was owing to the risks of war. "

fshed. The only thing that remained to be done was to test the glass and see
 whether it was a success as a refractor of the movements of the heavenly bodies
 He accordingly rigged up a rude tenn
 porary structure, and on the first clear
 night climbed a thirty-foot ladder from
 which he was able to get the correct fO- GUS on his lens. He found the experi-
 ment complete success and the glass a remarkably fine one. He accordingly wrote to the university authorities, tell ing them of the result of his undertak- ing, and received a request to ship the
 glass on to Washington. It is expected to arrive here in a few days. and with it will come it's maker, who will supe-in- tend its unpacking.
 The glass will be placed in the histori-
 cal building of the university pending
 the erection of the observatory. The lens
 is not constructed in the manner in
 which telescope lenses are generally
 fashioned, as one side of it is covered
 with a coating of highly polished alloy in which there is a large proportion of
 silver. It. is what is technically known as silvered, and the operator who watch es the heavens by means of this lens will stand some distance above it, and
 look into the polished surface of it's metal covering. It is polished and sil- vered on it's re1ecting side, so that the light is reflected back and up to the Ob- servor.
 The telescope in which 1t will be placed will be especially valuable to scientists who are looking for new stars, as it's magnifying power is very great. It ia not so easily moved as the ordinary tel escope, and consequently is of less use in following the movements of particular stars, but the star which crosses it's face without being visible to the observ- or will have to be very small and very far distant from the earth. It is expect ed that the telescope in which this lens will be mounted will be one of the most valuable in the world for the purpose | of discovery, and the first star discover ] ed by it will undoubtedly be named in honor of the Rev. John Peate-wash- ington Post.
