The Other Franchise.

We publish elsewhere in this paper
the street railway franchise which j. M.
Clancy of Stoughton asks the common
council to grant to James Walsh, the
Chicago capitalist. We trust our read
ers will look it over carefully comparing
it's provisions with those which Mr..
Spoone4 also asks the city to grant him.
We were doubtless in error in the state
ment made last week that Mr.. Walsh
was interested in either of the electric
railway companies headed toward James
vile from the south with which the peo-
pie now seeking franchises to build be-
tween Madison and that city expect to
connect. We are informed by the pro-
moters of the GAINESVILLE Rockford line
that Mr.. Walsh is in nowise interested
with them in their project.

Ladies Free.

The management os the Warner Com
edy company has arranged to admit the
ladies free next Monday night at the
theater when accompanied by a person
with 35 cent ticket, the occasion being
the opening performance of three
nights engagement at the Edgerton
opera house. It has been several seasons
since this company has been in Edger-
ton, and while it may not require extern
sive advertising to acquaint the people
of the merits of this we'll known COM
pany we would wish to make few ex-
planatory remarks which would insure
the old time interest to be taken in this
truly excellent organization. Mr.. War
ner has secured the exclusive right for
the production of large number of
standard successes, and in addition to
the dramatic company introduces several
vaudeville pictures between the acts.
They will open this engagement with
"Mercie's Marriage" Prices, Is, % and
So cents.

Never forget to keep lookout for the
advertisements in the paper. 1t is there
where you find your bargains. The live
merchant tells you what he has to give
you for your money. Ads are not only
good for the merchant, but for the pub
lie as we'll. The man who advertises is
not the man who is ashamed of his
goods; not much. He is there for you to
try and see.

Mr.. Lewis Mayer of New York, with

taking survey of the growing crop.
Sanford Soverhill, Myron Greene, John

day.
S. B. Heddles and wife arrived at their
GAINESVILLE home Monday afternoon after
a two months trip to Europe, visiting
both Mr.. Heddles' parents in England
and the tobacco markets of the CONT
nent.
The tobacco crop in Vernon county is
an assured thing. At present writing
the farmers are all jubilent over the late
rain and the tobacco crop as we'll as the
corn crop is looking fine. The late
planted crops of tobacco will probably
turn out the best this season as the
earlier planted tobacco was partially
ruined by the grub worm and will prob
ably be uneven. In regards to crops
Vernon county farms will certainly be
on top.-Viroqua Republican.

Changes in the Fulton Power Plant.


Some important changes are soon to
be made at the power plant located at
Fulton by the GAINESVILLE Electric Co.
Heretofore dynamos located at Fulton
have furnished the current for lighting
the arc lights in GAINESVILLE as we'll as
those of Edgerton. When the new ma
chinery is installed a power current of
high tension will be transmitted to
GAINESVILLE and through rotary con-
verter attached to shaft produce
power to turn the dynamos in that city.
The Edgerton Electric Co. will doubtless
install another incandescent machine at
Fulton to help out an overload that
might occur at the Indian Ford plant.
The contract has been placed with the
General Electric company for 25O
horse power, 3 phase high tension gener-
| ator to be installed at the cOmpanys
Fulton plant, which will enable them to
utilize the Fulton power at GAINESVILLE
for any purpose and at any time. The
company expects to have the new appa-
ratus installed within the next go or 80
days. The system of transmission from
Fulton to GAINESVILLE will be the same as
is now in use between Niagara Falls and
Buffalo, but not quite as high pressure
will be used. It will cut down the loss
| of transmitting current from Fulton
F, from 20 per cent. to less than per cent.
| The new improvements also include new
marble switch boards at both Fulton and
GAINESVILLE, equipped with the very latest
measuring instruments and protective
| devices.
The GAINESVILLE company have also
strengthened their plant by the pur-
chase of a new $50 horse power engine
of the very latest pattern of the Ball
Engine company, of Erie, Pa, make,
entirely automatic and self-oiling, will
be put in, and new generator which is
to furnish the incandescent lights and
power has been ordered from the Gener-
al Electric company of Schenectady.
This will be a $50 horse power dynamo
and will practically give the company
duplication of it's present machinery,
and will also be safeguard against
breakdowns, yet it is made necessary at
present by the constantly increasing
business of the company.

ed the prize for the oldest man.
The music which the Edgerton Cornet
Band furnished throughout the day was
feature of the event which received
many words of commentator from the
throng present.
1t takes considerable executive ability
to handle large crowd like the one
present at the picnic and bring it through
without accident, but the officers of the
day were equal to the occasion and
all came out in apple pie order.
E. @. Hopkins and w. Ell. Bradley were
busy men at the gate, but they both
understood what they were there for and
the big crowd did not have to wait long
for their tickets Or to gain admission.
A measure of the success of an enter
terprise of this character is in the
finances and viewed in this light they
are entirely satisfactory. The total re-
ceipts of the picnic were between S11OO
and $1,000, and the net receipts, after all
expenses are paid will probably exceed
$500.

A SURPLUS REALIZED.
The inauguration Guaranty Fund

| sistants at inaugural Headquarters, is
| engaged in making out checks for the re-
! payment of the amounts subscribed to the
/ Inauguration guaranty <und. The en-

! nearly 5000 when all the debts contracted

4 considera BILE increase in the surplus
of the receipts from all sources of reve-
nue. over the amount of the expenditures
in preparing for the Inaugural ceremo-
nies has been occasioned by the profits
from the conduct of the reviewing stands.
The Committee on Parks and Reviewing
Stands viii have very little short of sf000
to turn into the Inaugural Committee
treasury The figures have grown con
Siderabiy since the accounts of the COM
| mittee have been determined The last
I approximate estimate OF the profits was
$l,500.~ The exact receipts Of the commit
tee, Chairman John L. Larrer states, are
$lS,SG5.6I. All of the expenditures cannot
be accurately stated, as some few small
items may yet be added to the total
which now appears not much in excess of
$4,000.
The amount of $4,000 was quoted by
Mr.. Larner. in the early councils of the
inaugural Committee as the approximate
figure for which the Court OF Honor and
the four attendant stands could he con-
Structed. 1t is matter of considerable
satisfaction to Mr.. Larner that the actual
cost of construction has not exceeded
this amount. While one of the contract
ors has not made a profit, and i'm fact
claims a considerable loss on his CON
tract the second contractor has made
nearly 80 per cent profit, and fully enough
to double the amount claimed lost by the
first contractor.
The sum of 5000. completing the expen-
ditures of the Committee on Parks and
Reviewing Stands was dfsbursed FOR ex-
traS, alterations and maintenance The
latter item consumed the greater part
Of this amount.

could not be used again. Although there

lively. The Chamberses have a secret pro-
cess by which the dies are made of mai
leable iron and carbouized into steel at a
cost Of from 50 cents to 81. - each.
The Chambers contract is the only one
entered into by the Government that has
been renewed so often and continued IN
interruptedly so long. The Postofice De-
partment buys about $4,000 worth of new
cancelers every year. Bids are adver-

thinks he has a good thing offers a pro-
posal. but the Chambers family seems to
be invincibIe. They have improved their

HAVANA. March 15.-Senor Aleman. a
delegate to the Constitutional Convention,
said today that the Committee on Rela-
tions would probably report on Tuesday.
The two principal opinions held by the
committee are: First that the convention
should hold by its former declarations
ia regard to the relations with the United
States but that it should agree to the
,eSsion Of the Isle OF Pines. which the
Americans regard as part Of the territory
ceded by Spain under the Treaty Of Paris.

concession viii only De made on condi-
ton that the United States will agree to
accept the other relations suggested by
the convention The second opinion among
the members Of the committee is that the
original declaration of the convention
should be adhered to. with the exception
that the Plstt clause IN regard to health
laws should be accepted.
Senior AIeman says the convention will
reply 20 the resolution Of Senator Platt
of Connecticut regarding the relations Of
the United States with Cuba, by giving
the reasons why the convention cannot
accept them. He says the country has
been led to believe that absolute indie
pendence would be granted by the United

encouraged in this belief by the Ameri-
