Clements. who learning their names and being handed the license soon married William Vaughan and Miss Carrie Lee Allison. The bride wore short dresses and was "a little over IS years of age, while the groom was mere lad. They were step-brother and sister, and had been reared in the same house. Their parents saw no objection Ln1 hn married them standing in the front part of the wagon. Before commencing the ceremony the young man wanted to know what the charges would be. The clever minister informed that he made no charge. To this the young man replied that he wanted to know before the mar riage because she was 'shy on change"

Report on Public Library

At special meeting of the Common
council held Tuesday evening, Prof. C.
+. Viebahn, city superintendent of
schools, spoke briefly upon the subject
OF Free Public Library, and in behalf
OF the special committee having the
matter in charge, presented the follow
Ing summarized report Of what had
been accomplished, in the form of a
memorial and petition:
To the Honorable the Mayor and the
Common Council Of the City of Water
town:
Gentlemen-We the undersigned cit
liens OF WatertOwn beg leave to submit
to your honorable body the following
memorial and petition:
At general mass meeting of citizens
held at Turner opera house in this city
on the evening of May 26 last. and pre-
sided over by Prof. A. F. Ernst, it was re-
solved by unanimous vote that steps
should be taken for establishing free

chairman of the meeting was directed to
appoint, with the advice and approval of
his honor, the mayor Of the city, com
mittee OF twelve citizens, whose duty it
should be to devise ways and to secure
means for establishing library. Your

Marvellous Railroad Management

In no respect is the success of Amer
lean business methods more clearly
shown than in railway management.
Ths railways Of the United States are
better equipped, better Officered, and
have better financial direction than
those OF England or the continent of
Europe. Whether passenger or freight
traffic be considered, there is scarcely
room to question the advantage on the
American side Of the account.
Inc passenger trains in the United
States are more luxurious than those
abroad. The former are better equipped
at all points than the latter. The cars
are heavier, the locomotives are more
powerful, the rOadbeds on the principal
lines are in better condition, and for
ordinary trains the time is faster. For
long, continuous runs there are no
quicker trains abroad than in this
country.
The American freight carry from
three to ten times the load Of the for
eign goods" car. American freight
schedules are more reg ularly kept and
rates are much lower. Locomotives are
far more powerful for all kinds of traf-
tic in this country than on the other
side OF the ocean.
These reflections are suggested and
stimulated in part by the late annual re-
port OF the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST..
Paul railway. That great system DUR
ing the last fiscal year spent about six
million dollars in betterments. 1t had
an increase Of three and One-quarter
million dollars in gross earnings and
over one million dollars in net earnings.
Inc dividend rate on common stock was
advanced from to Z per cent. The
enormous gross earnings of $45,OOOOOO
may we'll, as the late President Krueger
said. "stagger humanity"-or at least
that part of it which is engaged in rail-
roading abroad.
More gratifying than all else is the
fact that the St. Paul road, like all it's
principal competitors, is giving emf
nent satisfaction to the people who use
1t. Its passenger accommodations are
as nearly perfect as human ingenuity
and experience at this stage of the
worlds progress know how to make
them. Its provisions for freight. al
though partly outgrown by the pressure
OF business, are on generous scale; it's
rates, comparatively speaking, are low,
and its efforts to increase and extend the
service in every direction are unremit-
ting.
What is true of the ST. Paul is equally
true of the other great trunk lines and
especially of those west of Chicago.
Nobody grudges them their prosperity,
nor wishes to see it interrupted or di-
mlnished. The prosperity of the rail-
roads to considerable extent is bound
up with that of the whole people, and
neither one can advance nor retrograde
seriously without carrying the other in
the same directiOn.-C Chicago Tribune.

New Electric Line

An electric railway line to run from
Madison northeast to Oshkosh, Fond du
Lac, Berlin and intervening points is
planned bya company which filed arti-
cles Of incorporation with the secretary
Of state today. The incorpOrators are
mainly men living along the projected
route, but the real hacker of the enter
prise is Henry Knox, of Chicago, man
ager Of the GAINESVILLE, Beloit and Rock
ford electric line, and the road is to be-
come part of the system which is ex-
pected to cover Southeastern Wisconsin.
The name of the company incorporated
today is the Madison & Northeastern
Railroad company and the route pro-
posed is from Madison via Sun Prairie,
Columbus and Beaver Dam to Waupun,
with lines from Waupun to Fond du Lac,
Waupun to Oshkosh via Rosendale, Wau-
pun to Berlin via Ripon and hartford, a
total Of about 13O miles. The capital
stock is $4,000 and the incorporators
named are Charles Schericker, Sun Pra-
irie; Frank Stenerwald, East Bristol; H.
b. Kipler, Sun Prairie; George C. Holtz,
H. R. Cook, Henry j. Hopp, Columbus; R.

On the thirty-second ballot, State
Senator A. M. Jones was nominated to
succeed himself at the Republican
Senatorial convention for the Thir ty-
third district held at Waukesha,
recently. Peter Myers, of Washing
ton county, was the opposing candi-
date and on first ballot received 121
of the 81 votes in the convention.
Brought before the convention Mr..
Jones counseled harmony in the party
and support of the state, county and
legislative tickets. There is not
better man for the position in the
Thirty third district than Senator A.
M. Jones and the opposition to him
has not a single element of good sense
to recommend it. For the good of the
state and of the district Senator Jones
should be elected and undoubtedly will
be, in spite of the efforts of small
bore factionists to compass his defeat.

Ii any hesitating voter is in doubt
as to the material prosperity of the
country under Republican rule, let him
take heed Of these four measures
which are indisputable: Increase in
the volume of business transacted
increase in the output of Industrial
plants, increase in the earnings of
industrial workers, and increase in
the savings of the people. These all
apply to this nation at the present
time, and it is for a continuance of
them that the splendid institution of
Republicanism is striving.

Being without means of support he
was sent to the intirmary.
A few days ago the Newark Chief Of
Police received cablegram from one

inquiring for the man, and investiga-
ton was made at the intirmary, when IT
was discovered that the same night in
which the cable was sent Miller had
