Fond du Lac Man Burned to Death
Appleton and Neenah Electric Line
Fire at Notwithstanding Factory
Secured for Baraboo.

Patrick Crowley, an old resident of
Fond du Lac, was fatally burned by the
upsetting of kerosene lamp. The acct
dent occurred as the family was seated
about the supper table. James Crowley,
son of the victim, inadvertently rested
his weight upon the edge of the table,
which caused it to tip over, throwing the
lamp against the arm of the young man.
In warding it off it struck the person of
his father, and before assistance could be
rendered the old gentleman was envelop-
ed in flames. When the flames were ex-
tinguished the man was burned beyond all
chance Of recovery. In attempting to res
cue his father, James Crowley was badly
burned about the face and hands.

moving slowly. 1t is true there were
200 fewer bills introduced at this

ing, after meeting at 10 o'clock and
listening to the chaplain and the

provokes a debate; and a good part of

There were 207 children born and the

as to institutions to care for young
hayward mothers. The average death
rate is shown to be so per cent. in such
institutions. Many causes conspire to
bring about this result. In the first
place, unsuccessful attempts to destroy
so many of these little lives have de-
stroy ed, in large measure, their vital
ty, and they live only few weeks and
fade away. In the second place, the
constant strain upon the nerves of these
mothers. especially until they have
found a place of shelter among friends
is another great cause of weakened vi
tality In the children. Ante-natal con-
ditions account for fully three-fourths
of the death rate in the home

just How "Anti-Pass" Stands.

Everybody is committed to anti-pass
legislation and we shall have something
on the statute books, but the net re-
suit will be one of the last things to
drop out Of the legislative hopper for
those members who are using passes
naturally do not wish to give them up.
And there is a good deal of curiosity as
to what shape the enactment will take.
The senate has passed a bill and rec
commended q constitutional amendment
(the bill to serve as a law until the
Flow work OF changing the constitution
is effectej); but the radicals are moi
pleased with ii. They want the New
York declaration which was framed By
constitutional convention.
Now everybody knows that each
member of such convention is
usually star Of the first mag
nitu6e. A constitutional conven-
ton ranks even above the judic airy as
one of the features of government not
dominated by political methods. So
what a constitutional convention might
produce in the way of suppressing
pasteboards is a high standard for a
legislature, a body intensely human.
The New York amendment provides
that the state official who uses a pass
shall forfeit office. That is a c,irch-
or. But our senate refused to have It
that way, and this provision was omit
ed Some good men voted to omit it
The vote was % to 9--but Mr.. Hall says
it is imperative and cites Pennsylvan
where il is omitted and the offense
styled a misdemeanor (as our senate
left it). thus entrusting to successive
legislatures the fixing of the penalty
The Pennsylvania law is said to be a
farce.
There are other clauses which have
to do with the giving of testimony by
offenders: and the leaving of an open
door to- the transportation of national
guardsmen at l cent a mile Ia matter
of $4,000 saving year to the STATED;
as to both of which there is diversity
of opinion. A few legislators seem de-
sirious of double-elinching the issue at
every point. Others are less worried.
We shall have an anti-pass law. but II
is not likely the outcome will wholly
please Mr.. Hall, who is most active IN
the fray

sert all our prosperity comes from

of our prosperity dates from that
event. Note few facts: then we
had about 1000 population, now
about 1000, then our real estate in
Morgan District was assessed at
$500, 725; now at $l,101, 675; and

now it is valued at S613, 107, then
the total was 81 ,042,377 now it is
$l,7l4, 7S2 and will be increased BY
the regulation to over So, 000,0 or
doubled since the railroad was com
pleted. In other words in about 2
years, since the road was opened
from Fairmont to Pittsburg about
1,000,0 900 has been added to the
taxable wealth of the District, and
the population Of Morgantown and
vicinity increased three or four fold,
the University attendance increased
over four times, and the amount Of
money expended by the State, the
United States, Students and Protes
sors increased in quite as great a
proportion. Four incorporated towns

er could have been induced to settle
here without railroad, greet the
eye of the stranger, and with the
hundreds of handsome homes attest
the prosperity that has come with
the advent of the railroad.
An experienced business man
once in the State Senate long ident
flied with the railroad at this place,
and familiar with conditions here
and in Preston County, nnhesita-
tingly declares that the Morgan
town and Kingwood Railroad will
do more to promote business pros
perity, values and population than
the present road has done, or than
two like it can do. The present road
is through line, doubtless highly
advantageous, but leaving little bus
mess here while the proposed road
would bring to us and leave with us
a large new traffic and business from
the most prosperous and richest part
of Preston County. 1t would come
to Morgantown and stop. 1t would
give employment to our own people.
1t would develop our own local re
