NO NEW BUILDINGS
UNIVERSITY GIVES UP PROSPECT
OF INCREASED FACILITIES.
TAX FIGHT is ABANDONED
Normal School Regents Refuse to Assist
the University Committee in Bring
ing Proceedings Against the Secre-
tary Of State-Matter Settled Before
Governor Scofeld on Monday.
Madison, Oct. 3.

MdulSOn, CCC. ..
The committee of the university
board of regents, former Senator w. f.
Villas, State Senator J. H. Stout of Me-
nomonie and Mr.. Breese J. Stevens, in
which had been placed the power OF
dispoSing of the matter of bringing pro-
ceedings against the. secretary of state
to compel him to levy the tax neces-
sary to provide the appropriation OF
$150,000 made by the last Legislature
for new buildings, on Monday after
noon decided to take no farther action
and to drop the discussion. This
means that the much-needed building
for the college of engineering and the
addition planned for the dairy building
which is overcroWded, cannot be erect
ed until the legislature again meets
and provides a means of raising the
money. 1t also means that the $780,
600 which was intended to be expended
for new buildings at the state norma
schools and at the several charitable
institutions of the state will not be Sc
cured and that these improvements
will lie in allegiance.
The university regents did not de-
sire to appear alone but were willing
to go into the fight for the money i
the board of normal schoO
regents would become cocoon
claimants, the BOARD of control, which
has in charge the affairs of the pena
and charitable institutions, having
fatty refused at the outset to take par
in suit. The committee of norma
regents, however, at a meeting held il
River Falls the other day, instructed
its secretary, S. S. lockwood, to inform
the university regents that it had final
ly decided to abandon the matter
This, in a letter received by former
Senator Villas, was the final straw tina
broke the university regents determ.
inatiOn.
The matter was discussed at a meet
ing, attended by Gov. Scofeld, Atty
Gen. Hicks, Treasurer Froehlich anC
the committee, in the executive office al
the capitol on Monday afternoon
Treasurer Froehlich positively refused
to make the levy unless ordered to &C
so by the supreme court, stating tina;
he had been advised by former CHIEF
Justice Lyon, now president of the
board Of control, that the statute au-
thoriZing the levy was unconstitution-
al. After a harmonious conversation
the session ended with the distinct I'M
derstanding that nothing farther would
be done.
The several boards take comfort in
the fact that the state treasury is in
fine condition and in the prospect that
considerable money will be available
for all needed repairs, even though
the cherished hope OF new buildings
cannot be realized.
The total tax that must have been
levied, had the secretary of state felt
secure in taking action, would have
been about s550,000.

PERSONALITIES.

President Kruger sometimes remains
almost silent for days together; at
other times he has talkative fits, when,
his associates say, nobody else can get
in word" He is a man of much
humor, and possesses a fund of the
most varied information.
Sir Thomas Upton, whose yacht, the
Shamrock, is soon TO race the Column
bia for the America cup, is man who
has worked himself UP from the very
bottom. In his youth he made a trip
to America in which he gained nothing
but experience. After his return to
England he opened up a little provi-
sion store with $500 which his par
ents, working people, intruSed to him.
He knew how to catch trade, he knew
how to keep it, and, what has proved
Of great value in the winning of his
fortune, he knew how to select his as
sistants. No sooner had his first store
proved profitable than this ability be-
came apparent. He obtained capable
assistants, and opened another store,
and then another and another. He
went to London eventually and opened
stores there until he had so in Lon
don alone, and, spreading over the
kingdom, he entered every consider
able town until at last there were
APO Upton stores in Great Britain.

scattered in parties Of two or three.
Many Of those here fell down on
the deck of the Grecian when rescued,
overcome with exhaustion and relief at
finding a place Of safety. The captain
says that never in his life has he heard
such terrible tales Of suffering or seen
such pitable sights. He is of the opin-
ion there may be many deaths on the
island unless immediate relief is there.
A passenger is Of the opinion theree
have already been seven or eight
deaths on the island. There is very
small chance Of rescue, as they are
scattered over the whole island.

HEALED AT ONCE BY PRAYER
Miss Williamson's Fractured Elbow
Cured at Church Meeting.

Madison, Me-, Sept. 29.-Miss Carrie
Williamson, a member of the Metho-
dist church of this place, declares that
seven weeks ago, when she was seri-
ously i'll, she 'called for the elders of
the church." who came to her and
prayed for some little time, causing
an immediate and complete healing"
Three weeks ago last Wednesday Miss
Williamson fell down stairs and frac-
tured the cap of her right elbow. Her
physician and friends advised an op-
Grafton. Instead of doing so Miss Will
hanson says: "I decided to carry
my case to the Lord and wait for fur
ther aid from physicians, and so I
went to last Tuesdays prayer meeting
with my arm in a sling, suffering in
tensely. At the close of the prayer
meeting nine of the brethren and
sisters knelt about me and prayed that
God would heal me-"
after the prayer" says an elder of
the church, eve gathered about her,
and she removed her arm from the
sling in which it had been carried for
weeks, helpless, extended her hand to
us and shook hands all around. Ex-
animation showed the swelling to be
gone from the arm, and from that
time to today she has suffered no in
convenience. Several of the towns
people saw her arm previous to this
prayer meeting and the morning fol-
lowing, and all agree that a genuine
cure has been effected"

Enoulfed in the Ruins.

New Richmond Wis. June 13.-1t is be-
licved that the greatest mortality in any
one place occurred in the basement of the
hardware store of Ward Williams. This
store was on one of the prominent busi-
ness corners, and when the storm ap
preached a large number of people fled
to the basement and in an instant were
overwhelmed in the ruins. Several bod
les have already been taken out, but it is
estimated that fully a dozen dead are
still in the ruins.
The Hawkins family was in the second
story of their residence when the storm
broke, and al once rushed for the cellar.
Before they could reach the first floor
the house was a mass of ruins and five
out of the six members of the family were
killed.
