The University should not be their com
petltor IN any manner Whatsoever, but
should be fed by them, Its standard
would be thereby materially raised, and
Its attendance improved, at any rate as
the age and quality Of its, students IS
concerned. Under the present condi-
Cons, many students too: young for uni
Yersity life are matriculateds there. Their
characters are I'm forrned, ana their men en-.

discouraged. form bad habits. and begin

lifetime. :,
In conclusion. your committee begs tc

personal visits twice a year, TOR the last
three years, on the part of one of its
members, the University has made steady
and satisfactory progress. not only in the
efficiency Of Its work but also in l..c

South. It had no competitors. Since
the war. and PARTICULARS IN the last
twenty years. colleges and universities 1T

every Southern State, which have a b.
sorbed much Of the University s patron

numbers have steadily increased. and du-'

largest attendance in the history OF It's
existence. When I. g considered that the

Steamer Getty oilsMarquette" Comes
Into Kenosha Thursday Afternoon
With First Load. oi Freight.
NEW BOAT GETS NOISY WELCOME
Vessel and Factory whistles .Keep:.Up a
DIN While the New Boat Ia Entering
Harb0r. Business Is Promising.

The steamer Getty Of Marquette''
brought her first load Of freight and
passengers into the KenoshaI harbor
Thursday afternoon and she was given
a royal welcome. 1t had been some
time since the little vessels in the har-
Dor had received an addition to their
number and when the big. sblack
steamer began to pillow her way be-
tween the harbor piers everyisteam
craft in the harbor tied down the
whistle as mark of welcome to the
new craft. The steamer caught the
welcome and responded. In the mean
time the news that the steamer had
arrived was communicated to theasfac-
tories and there was general din on
whistles in the noisy welcome given
the steamer.
The steamer pulled up to the ware
house at the O'Donnell docks and at
once laid aside forma1ities and began
to unload good heavy load Of freight
which had been brought in from Chi
cago. While the steamer was unload
ing one lonely passenger walked down
the gang plank-the first man who had
come to Kenosha on passenger boat
in more than year.
The boat got in on scheduled time
and was soon loaded and left on her
schedule. There was but two passen-
gers who were willing to tempt the
heavy sea to make the trip back to
Chicago with Captain Hill and his
crew, but there was a good load of
freight in the hold and the captain
didn't care much for the lack of pas
sengers.
There is little doubt but that the line
will prove success as Captain Hill
has given the merchants and shippers
of the city assurances3that the line
will be operated in a strictly business
like way aud the boat will run every
day during the winter. The heavy
seas are no terror to the crew of the
steamer and the ample insurance car
ried by the owners of the boat for the
protection of the shippers affords as
surance that all loss will be promptly
paid by the company. AS yet the COM
pany has not secured any of the trade
of the big shippers in the city but
many of the smaller shippers have al
ready ordered their goods sent by the
steamer and it is expected kthat the
steamer will bring in even larger
load of freight today.
=
every detail of the company and for
this reason it is certain that the ship
pers Of the city will be given every
consideration.
For years the merchants Of the city
have been demanding some competi-
ton in shipping companies and should
they still desire this competition they
should give Captain Hill at least part
of their patronage.

new LINE TO RACINE
Western Telephone Construction Com
pany Plans a Network Of Lines
For Kenosha County.
LINES ARE UNITING
Lines Will Be Extended to the West to
Harvard to Meet the IinessFrom the
Illinois Independent Concerns.

The swan song OF monopoly in the
telephone business between Racine and
Kenosha is being arranged, as it is an
nounced today that the Wisconsin
Telephone Company is to have corr
petition for the business between the
two cities. The Western Telephone
and Construction Company, of Win
throp Harbor, is to make an effort to
cut into the business between the two
cities, and in building the line to con-
meet with Racine the company will
build a network of lines IN Kenosha
County. Superintendent Egen, who
is directing the work, has chad all the
plans for the proposed line made and
it is possible that the line will be built
during the present year
The route for the line has sheen laid
out, both toward the west and the
north. It will extend to Pleasant
Prairie to the west and from that will
age it will be built north to the village
of Somers, thence north to Berryville
and from Berryville to Racine. The
line will connect with the Racine In
dependent lines and in this manner
will form complete circuit of the two
counties.
The new line to the west will be con-
tinued from Pleasant Prairie through
the villages of Wilmot, Bristol, Salem,
Fox River, Woodwork, Richmond, ILL.,,
Genoa Junction to Harvard; and at
Harvard it will be united with an ex-
tensive exchange of Independent
phones touching smany Of the smaller
cities in Northern Illinois. The ulti-
mate plan provides for the extension
of the lines into Chicago, and while
the route will be little longer than a
straight route, the company believes
that it will tbe able to furnish perfect
service.
The building of the line from Keno
sha to Racine will be Of great benefit
to the two cities, as it will give Keno
sha connection with the great num-
Der of phones connected with the In
dependent exchange in Racine. 1t
will also make it possible for the users
of the Bristol phones to reach Racine
by this line. The company will not in
any way be competitor of the Bristol
company or theIPleasant Prairie Tele-
phone company, but the scheme is to
have all Of these In strong union
against the Wisconsin company. So
many franchises have been secured
about the county that it is practically
Impossible for the Wisconsin company
to build lines which will parallel.the
Independent lines, and the latter will
hold the situation.
The owners of the Independent sys-
TENS in Racine county have also sig
nified willingness to unite with the
new company in securing the union of
the Independent lines.

The Growing Importance OF Neck
wear In WOmen's Costumes.

The Growing Importance OF Neck
wear In Women's Costumes.
Time was when a lady's collar was
but an adjunct to her costume, but now
it has assumed far greater proportions
and has become a most important fac
tor, adding, as it does, the last torch of
elegance and dainty grace. A wisp Of
lace, linen band or fiat collar
which left the entire throat bare WaEy
once considered fine enough, but today
the daintiest, the prettiest and most
delicate of the things belonging by
right to the fair sex are put into the
new neckWear, and as If the materials
alone were not good enough ingenuity
has been taxed 10 find something bet
ter.
NeckWear has never been so fine as
now, and handwork has taken the
place of machine stitching, so that it
is doubly delicate. The beautiful Mex
ican drawnwork is made especially for
collars and cuffs, and all who know
how durable and desirable this is are
aware Of its exceeding value. First it
requires the greatest patience, the best
sight and the neatest hands. The
