He Got Excited.

Last Saturday evening at about .
o'clock a tramp created considerable
excitement at the Junction. He en-
tered the waiting room and being dis
orderly was put out. but he again
came back aud was likewise order out.
He then began to break the windows
with his hands and others by firing
through them with pistol. The i'm
mates of the hotel all made their escape
as quick as possible.
There were two ladies in the wait
;no room when he entered and he
fourished a revolver upon which the
frightened women fed. The police
were notified but were too late to catch
the desperate. He left, going toward
the Northw estern round house where
a bloody glove and bunch OF skeleton
KEYS were found. His right hand was
cut from the glass be broke 10 the
windows.
The railroad companies ought to do
something in the way of helping the
local police in keeping such rascals
away from their railro ad property.

Wisconsin Leads.

Hon. William Henry Jones. member
OF parliament, who is visiting this
~ountry with the MoseleJ delegation
,h has for its purpose the study
higher educational methods in Am
erica, is much impressed with the
growth of democracy in education here,
and finds the state universities much
superior to the old, privately endowed
colleges of the east.
In recent statement Mr., Jones said
it would be difficult to name the first
five great American universities, as we
have SO many institutions of inquest
ionableably high standing and large
purpose, but that, if he were to seri-
ously he probably would have to name
them, following the sun-Harvard,
Cornell, the University of Michigan,
the University of Wisconsin, and the
University OF California.
TO name the first ten would be still
more difficult, as that would put a
larger number of institutions into COM
petition, but that, if he were to do SO.
it would be almost impossible for him
to add any five to the first list men,
toned that did not include the state
universities eff Illinois, Nebraska, Min
nesota, and possibly, Kansas and Ten.
1ese. He states that. if there is any
sae college that would have preference
with him it would probably the Uni
versity of Wisconsin.
This university he says. els strong
in numbers. It is democracy, where
merit alone counts; its standing in
scholarship is of the highest; it's de-
yrees are recognized by every univers-
ty in the world; and its spirit and
purpose are as broad and inclusive as
he universe. Unlike the older col
eyes of the east, it is not circnmscribed
md hampered by a conservative, class
curriculum nor is it intlmidated by
ts benefactors. as are some of the col
eyes founded by the predatory rich.
1T is a wholesome product of COM
aonwealth of three millions OF people;
ane, democratic. industrial and pro-
.ressive: with ideals and unafraid OF
leas, 1t responds to every need of
umanity: it knits together the pro-
,ssions and tabor; it makes the fine
rts and the anvil one. There are
,ary OF these state universities that
ave much or all of this; but to this
INST be added the natural endowment
the University of Wisconsin-its
cation is sublime"

w. c. Stone Speaks.

w. Y. Stone, one of the lncorpOrat-
ors of the Oconomowoc-W c-Watertown
heat, light and power company, has re-
turned from New York ty where he
has been for more than eek securing
the necessary capital y h which to
build the proposed cleo ric line from
Oconomowoc to this and other cities
and stated to Times reporter tina:
assurances were given of plenty of
capital to complete the line when the
necessary franchises are secured along
the proposed route.
He said it was the intention of the
company to extend the line from Ocon
omowoc to this city where connections
would be made with the railroad
depots. The line would also be ex-
tended westward over West Main and
West Division Streets aud eventually
reach Madison, entering that city over
the Madison Traction company's lines
'irect to the capital. A line would
also be run to Milford, Lake Mills and
further south. johnson Creek would
also probably be inck led. On the
east the branch line w I'd eventually
connect with the Milwa se-Waukesha
road, thus giving Watertown an ex-
cellent service between Milwaukee and
Madison with the other towns men,
toned. That such line would be a
benefit to the city goes without saying.
When asked about the construction
Of the road Mr.. Stone stated that the
necessary capital was ready to go
ahead with the work just as soon as a
frachise was granted and that towns
along the line desiring to be lighted
would be accommodated if favorable
contracts could be made.
Eastern capitalists who will furnish
the greater share of the money are en-
gagged in the building of electric lines
in the east and have thoroughly can
vassed the situation here-Daily

The Electric Road.

1t is taken for granted that Water
town wants all the trade communica-
tions reasonably possible, that is, with
out making sacrifices greater than the
advantages to be gained. The pro-
posed electric line from Watertown to
Oconomowoc with the probability OF
its early extension in such directions
as shall make the richest agricultural
districts of Wisconsin easily accessible
and tributary to Watertown is q most
promising means Of reviving, increas-
ing and fosetring home trade. Nor Is
the benefit confined to this city or to
the villages intercepted. All expert
euce has shown that the value of farm
property along the route of electric
roads already In operation mas been
sensibly increased. We need the road !;
the country needs the road. What
means at our easy command can we
use to bring about the building of this
road? Two separate applications have
been formally made to the common
council for franchise granting right
of way and operating privileges
for such an electric line along and up
on certain specified streets. 1t is not
probable that franchise will be grant
ed upon both applications. Which
shall it be? is the question for the
common council to decide when they
have carefully considered the matter
of granting franchise. Mr.. w. C.
Stone and his colleagues have filed
articles of Incorporation and are leg
ally constituted as a constructing and
operating company. MIR. Stone as
representative of that COM
pany has interested eastern capital
lists In the improvement and abundant
means have been assured to carry for
ward the work the coming season.
Ii it was absolutely certain that this
new company would confine their oper-
ations to running electric lines without
becoming in any way competitor In
the matter of electric lighting, we have
serious doubts whether there would be
any competition in the matter of &C.
quiring the needed franchise. This
does not in any wise reflect upon the
financial ability of the second company
to build aud operate an electric road.
1t is rather an opinion that Only one
company really wants to build a road.
But the question again reverts to the
original proposition we need the road
and can well afford to grant privileges
in order to secure it.
