Franchise Asked of Stou@htOn.

James Walsh, of Chicago, and P. L..
Spooner, of Madison, each ask for a
franchise through Stoughton for right of
way for the opening of an electric rail
way A franchise should be granted to
the one that means business and will put
up bonds for the building and operating
of road and not for specializing pur-
poses as is limited by some. In an inter
view with representative of the Spoon
er project we are informed that the COM
pany has an abundance of wealth at it's
command and will commence operations
at once to build and equip the road if a
franchise is granted. The franchise, as
prepared, can be materially modified and
all Objectionable points barred. The city
council should look into the matter
thoroughly before acting and grant the
franchise to the party that will surely
build. The road is what we want

GIVE US ELECTRICITY.
Do Not Discourage Electric Railway Lines.

The opposition of steam railways to
electric railways is daily becoming more
evident. The officials undoubtedly real
ize that if the trolley becomes as popular
in the west as it is in the east it will re-
suit in great loss of revenue. The
eastern states are interlaced with cleo
trio railways and they are proving to be
the peoples method of transportation.
When one can travel more comfortably
for fraction over one cent mile than
he can for three cents he usually takes
advantage of the cheaper rate. The laws
and the people in eastern states are very
liberal toward electric railways and the
policy has proven wise. Not until late
day did the managers of the steam roads
awake to the situation, but they don't
propose to remain quiet in the west.
They are keeping pretty busy these days.
Not much is done by them in the open,
but great deal Indirectly.
Strange as it may seem to some, the
building of such road is business
proposition, pure and simple. The people
who invest their money expect to profit
and the towns and cities through which
it runs surely will. One electric inter
urban road is said to be worth two steam
roads to any town. The cheap fare, the
frequency of trains, the custom of stop
ping and taking on passengers any place
along the line, the absence of smoke and
dust all tend to and do facilitate and
encourage travel. When the highways
are bad for travel, and even when they
are not, when the horses are busy in the
fields, when there is good lecture or
sermon Or entertainment in town, when
the children are attending school in the
city5 the electric cars are used. Along
all roads in the eastern states traversed
by anelectric road the price of land has
increased at least one-third, and in the
vicinity of cities doubled. A good many
of those roads run milk and fruit trains,
have freight stations at frequent inter
walls, and in all such ways greatly accom-
modate the rural Observation-Disclosures

Death of Mrs. MeIaas

Emma Evenson Melaas, wife of Mayor
@. J. Melaas, died at her home in this
city on Monday evening of consumption,
aged thirty-fv years. Deceased had
been gradually wasting away for the
past two years when death came to her
relief. She was married to Mr.. Melaas
about seven years ago, being his second
wife. She had a wide acquaintance and
because of her many admirable and laud-
able qualities had scores of friends. Her
premature death is to husband and fam
lily an inexpressible grief, and to others
source of deep sorrow. Mrs. Melaas
was born near Utica where she spent her
early life and until her union with Mr..
Melaas. Funeral services were held at
1890 Thursday morning from Rev. A.
Bredensen's church, interment following
in the Lutheran cemetery. During the
funeral hours, out of respect for the es-
teemed mayor, every business place in
the city was closed and business of all
kinds entirely suspended. Mrs. Melaas
leaves, besides the bereaved husband,
two small children, daughter and son,
aged six and four years respectively, an
aged mother, Mrs. Erick Evenson, and
one sister, Mrs. Peter Erickson, of Nc

HALF STARVED PEOPLE.

One of the commonest and
least suspected causes of ILL
health is semi-starvation. IL is,
due to, or aggravated by, debil-
ity of the stomach and bowels.
This condition is of many grades
of severity; being sometimes,
so slight as to induce a mild
chronic feebleness, and then tes-
pecially in young men and
women) it may, and frequently
does, become the exciting cause
Of some rapid disease, which
ends life without arousing R
suspicion of the real source in
which it arose. The blood, in
these cases, is thin and pale,
the skin pallid, there is a teus
dency to Asthma, Indigestion,
Debility and loss of appetite and
flesh. In young women there
is a decided drift towards Hys.
terra and other grave nervous
symptoms. The tried and true
remedy for this and all condi-
tions marked by low vitality is
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
which is palatable as honey and
contains the nutritive and cura--
tive properties of Pure Cod
Liver Oil, combined with the
Compound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites, Extracts of Malt aud
Wild Cherry. This effective
medicine is rich in food proper
ties, containing the full medi-
cinal value of the oil, without
its offensive taste or smell. IT,
agrees with the most sensitive
stomachs and brings about good
results from the outset. The
blood is supplied with needed
elements and flesh and strength
quickly follow. In Fevers, Rheu--
matism, Scrofula and all Ills
founded upon, or associated
with poor digestion, it is worthy
of complete confidence. 1t can
not disappoint you. DIR. Thos.
Hunt Stucky says: "The con-
tinued use of it in my practice,
convinces me that it is the most
palatable, least nauseating, and
best preparation now on the
market. Effective from the first
dose. Sold by chemists here.

SUDDEN END OF A LENGTHY
CASE.
Roperts Suit for Kamoilili Land, in
Behalf of j. X. Sumner, Knocked out
in Circuit Court.

Judge Little this morning granted a
motion for non-suit in the case of
GUSTAV f.. ROpert trustee for j. X.
Sumner, against solomon Kauai Ku-
kun haual and Ho hee, an action for
eJectment, involving the ownership of
about IA acres of kamo iii land. rhe
jury was dismissed and the case came
to an end.
The plaintiff finished his case yester-
day, and w. a. Kinney for the defense
at once moved "a non-suit. The jury
was excused while the motion was ar
gued most of yesterday afternoon, and
this morning at o clock Judge Little
granted the motion, no ding that the
legal points submitted were enough to
settle the case, and that there was
nothing to go to the jury Plaintiffs
were represented by eX-Judge Stanley
and r. McCants Stewart, and defend
ants by Kinney, Ballou and McClana-
han and Magoon and Thompson. The
jurors were: Gus II. Aea, James r..
shaw, j. a. Lawelawe, Samuel Nanioa,
W. f. Hei oron, ID. X. Bent, II. Zerbe,
S. Nawaa, G. Anterior, George Roen-
itz and f. Angus.
The trial of the case began last term,
but after several days If testimony it
became evident that the trial would
last beyond the end of the term and
the proceedings were discontinued. The
case was taken up again last Thursday
and has been before the court ever
since. Its disposition relieves attorneys
who were much wanted in other courts,
especially Magoon, whose threatened
necessary presence in Titles court all
this week was blocking cases in both
Estee's and Gears court.
The attorneys for the plaintiff noted
an exception to the ruling of the court,
and will take the matter to the SUI
preme Court.
