Passenger Wreck at Round Lake.

The first serious accident to occur on
the new Madison Chicago line of the
Milwaukee road took place Monday
morning when the Chicago train leaving
here at 7 a. N. met up train due at 11:05
o'clock in a head end collision near
Long Lake, III. In some way the dis
patcher gave the GAINESVILLE train orders
to pass at Round Lake and the train
from Chicago at Long Lake, making a
clap" The train leaving this city at 7
a. N. in charge of Conductor Charles
Joss and Engineer Twitchell was on time
and when Long Lake was reached in
stead Of stopping and waiting for the
Chicago train, it rushed on for the meet
ing point at Round Lake two miles fur
Their on. The Chicago train with orders
to pass at Long Lake was doing the
same thing. From Long Lake to Round
Lake there is quite down grade and a
curve in the track which prevented the
engineer seeing very far ahead. Having
no idea of any danger Engineer Twitchel
was going about as fast as he could turn
wheel. AS he swung around the curve
the other train doomed up in front of
him only short distance away and he
had barely time to shut off and put on
the emergency brake before the crash
came. The engineer on the train from
Chicago had not yet struck the curve
and saw the other train coming in time
to shut off and bring his train almost to
a standstill before the GAINESVILLE train
struck him, which was one reason more
people were not killed.
When the engines crashed together
and rolled over, the baggage car tele-
scoped and slid right over them. Bag
gageman Higgins started to Jump when
he felt the air but not having time
dropped fiat on his face on the floor of
the car and after the crash was over
crawled out unhurt with the exception
OF few bruises. Express Messenger
Northway had stepped into the baggage
car and was on the platform on his way
back when the trains came together and
was caught between the ends of the cars
and killed. The baggage cars were piled
high over the engine. The wreckage
was strewn all along the track. Where
the engines collided the wreckage was
almost as high as the telegraph wires.
How the passenger coaches escaped is
mystery. But not one of them was piled
in the wreckage. The men in the smok.
ing car were most severely shaken up.
They were thrown out of their seats and
many received slight injuries. But no
severe injuries were received by any OF
the passengers.

Wants the Franchise Modified.

The reasons why the franchises grant
ed the GAINESVILLE Traction company
some weeks ago in Edgerton and James
Vile for az extension of the Rockford,
Beloit and GAINESVILLE electric road to
Madison has not been accepted, have be-
gun to develop. The common council
at GAINESVILLE Monday night were asked
to modify the concessions in that city.
Among other alterations it asked that
the franchise term be extended from 81
to so years. Also the time for choos-
ing the routes through the city from sc
days after accepting the franchise to
30 days before obstruction began. The
franchise granted in this city was passed
June 8th and will expire September 9th
if not accepted upon that date.

To the DelIs of WISCONSIN.

The st. Paul road will run an excur-
sion to the Dells next Sunday. There
are now two large, elegant steamers
capable of carrying any excursion that
could be brought to the Dells. This
year so far everyone who has visited the
Dells on excursions has declared that
the conditions have changed so that
even several visits to the Dells each sea-
son would be agreeable and pleasure
able. The rates now made are so low
that people in any circumstances can
well afford to take this trip.

Cut out this program and bring it with

the above are requested to see next
weeks program, as all pieces could not
be played in one evening.
Judging by the large crowds which
attend the open air concerts, the music
is fully appreciated. The Edgerton band
has been organized for twenty years and
has always been willing to furnish music
on any occasion whether for pay or
gratis. There are three requirements
to sustain band-money, time and hard
work. The band is willing to give the
time and work if the necessary funds are
Forthcoming to defray actual expenses.
Citizens have always given freely when
asked and for this the band members
return their thanks. But arrangements
should now be made toward esta blishing
a permanent fund and by so doing the
organization could be strengthened in
many ways, One way that all could
lend encouragement is by liberal ap-
plause when music pleases.

The smoothest kind of fakir held a
big crowd on the street corner Tuesday
night while he separated them from their

Turned His Coat.

A writer tells this story of the
governor of a British colony: "a
gentleman was serving as private
in volunteer corps in another col
ony. Being a man of good social
position, he had dined with the gov
ernor, when one day, being in pri-
vate uniform, he was taken by one
of the officers of his regiment to
luncheon in tent in which the gov
ernor happened to be, whereupon
the latter remarked in a loud voice
to the officer in question that he
could not sit down to table with one
in private's uniform. When in con
sequence the man was about to re-
tire the governor said it was not the
man he objected to, but the dress
and suggested that he should either
change it or turn it inside out. Be-
ing much in want Of his luncheon
the man swallowed the insult and
turned his coat inside out"
