Several weeks ago there appeared in
these columns an item relative to the
National Military College which is to
be founded by the Sons of Veterans of
the United States, as a memorial to
the veterans of the late war. AS the
project develops it is constantly as
Stunning greater proportions, and it
bids fair to become one of the great
educational bulwarks of the nation.
Besides university of national
character, with the best professors and
courses that can be secured, one of the
most interesting features will be a
national war museum, for the preserv.
ing of relics of war times in fire
proof building. 1t is also proposed to
provide free scholarships for worthy
discharged orphans from the various
soldiers orphans homes. 1t will have
chair of applied patriotism and the
military feature will predominant. 1t

having already been pledged, besides
conditional pledges amounting to over
81, 200, 900.

DEBORAH INSTITUTE.
Graduation Exercises Held at the
Institute Building, Friday night.

The annual commencement exercises
of the class of 1900, DEBORAH Institute
were held at the Institute auditorium
last Friday evening, before large
audience. The program as published
last week was carried out, each gradu-
ate acquitting himself creditably, and
demonstrating that the course of study
that he had been mastering at this
popular school in the past few years
had given him training for the stern
er duties of life that will be of incalcul-
able value to him. The great work
being done by DEBORAH Institute for the
young people of the northwest cannot
fail to be noticeable among the profess
sional and business circles, as well as
about the fireside. The young people
who come out from its halls have, be-
sides thorough course of knowledge
that will always be of great use to them,
a character of the quality which makes
men and women greatest, if they have
profited by their instructions. May
DEBORAH Institute continue to grow and
prosper, and to be power which shall
be felt all over this country.

TO WAUKON BY TROLLEY
MORE RUMORs OF ELECTRIC CARS
The Move now on to Build a Line
from DEBORAH to Waukon.

There has been considerable tangible
investigation of late with regard to the
erection of an electric street car line
out of DEBORAH. The proposed line
from DEBORAH to Chatfield, Mimi, is
being considered by interested capital
lists, and now comes an electrical engi-
neer from Minneapolis and a capitalist
from Spokane, WASH, who are looking
up the project of building line from
DEBORAH to WaukOn. We cannot bet.
ter describe the plan than by reprint
ing the following from last week s
Waukon Democrat:
An electric railway connecting Wau-
kon and DEBORAH is project now un-
der consideration by construction
company. Mr.. +. p. Burch, of Mime
apolis, an electrical engineer of much
experience, together with gentleman
from Spokane, WASH, interested i'm
such enterprises, visited Waukon last
week to look over the ground.
From reliable source we learn that
Minneapolis parties have evinced an in
terest in an electric railway west from
Waukon to either DEBORAH or Ossian,
with DEBORAH preferred. The present
operations at the iron mines is largely
responsible for the interest created, as
the project would include the construc-
ton of a spur from Waukon to the mines
for the purpose of transporting the
crushed ore to this point for shipment
east. This in ease the c., M. & ST. p.
do not extend track there.
Power would be supplied by the
electric light plants now i'm use i'm De-
corah and Waukon, both of which
could be conveniently enlarged to COM
ply with the necessary requirements.
Mr.. Burch is much impressed with
the feasibility of such an undertaking
and spent several days looking over
the country between here and DEBORAH.
He Investigated a route via Frankville,
and also inspected the old railway
grade to the Iowa river and into De-
corah. This could be readily adapted
to the needs of an electric line. Other
facts and figures were obtained which
will be used in a computation of the
expense of construction as well as the
probable income of such a line, and
we may look for some more visits from
the parties interested.
