Augustus Trowbridge. professor OF
mathematical physics, and Dugald G.
Jackson, professor of electrical en-
cheering, have resigned their posi-
lions in the university and will assume
positions in eastern universities the
coming year.
Prof. Dugald G. Jackson will as

present in the east, in conference
with the authorities of the Boston
school, preparatory to assuming the
duties of the new positin.
Prof. Trowbridge will enter the fac
ulty of Princeton university as pro-
fessor of physics.
Although Prof. Jackson has defin-
itely accepted the position, he will
remain in Madison until the end of
the first semester.
Formal action by the regents has
not yet been taken upon the resigna-
tiOnS.
Prof. Augustus Trowbridge was
born in New York in 1870. He was
educated at Phillip and Andover,
spent three years in study in Paris,
and continued his study at Columbia
university. In 1898 he began active
engineering practice. In 1894 he re-
newed his study at the University of
Berlin, receiving the degree of A. M.

| from Pennsylvania State College in
| 1885. He was instructor a year at
! Cornell, and in 1887 became vice pres
ident and engineer of the Western
Electric company at Lincoln, Neb.
From 1889 to 1891 he was engineer
fol the Edison General Electric COM
pany at Chicago. He entered the fac
plJy of the university in 1891.
Both professors have done consid-
cradle writing and are members of
many scientific societies. Prof. Jack
son is considered one of the foremost
authorities in the country on electric
street railways. The number of stu
dents in electrical engineering has
doubled since he entered the faculty
in 1891.

member of the Pennsylvania legisla-

the wealthy residents of Carnegie.
Cook, who became famous during

thor of the greater Pittsburg BILL is
alleged to have been celebrating his
denomination. He met woman, said
to be Mrs. Macmillan, and the two
went to house in Lawn street. While

70 Hold Autos for License.

James Mackenzie, filing clerk in the
secretary of states Office, has told
Chief of Police Baker that Illinois
automobiles have no right to operate
their machines in Wisconsin without a
state license. In other words, tourists
passing through the capitol city may
be "held up" for license money. Of
course the same tactics might be pur-
sued in other counties. Chief Baker
has not yet decided whether or not
he will crusade against foreign auto
noOilists.

AZ f. Mound .Nycet, Columbus. Ohio
LAY FEVER is endemic catarrh It
is caused by some irritating sub
stance in the atmosphere during the
late summer months. 1t is generally
thought that the pollen of certain weeds
and flowers is the cause of it.
Change of locality seems to be the
only rational cure. The use of Peruna,
however, stimulates the nervous system
to resist the effect of the poisonous,
emanations and sometimes carries the
victim through the hay fever season
without an attack of the disease.
A large number of people rely upon
Peruna for this purpose. Those who
do not find it convenient to change
their location to avoid Hay Fever,
would do well to give Peruna a trial.
1t has proven of priceless value to.
many people.

Increase in Dog Tax.

John Commit, the official city dog
catcher, is at present winding up his
duties, and spotting the few remaining
CANNES, who have thus far escaped
the gaze of his eye. Between April
30 and the present date, total of S799
has been collected, and when the dog
catching season ends in September
the total will probably foot up close to
$3.50. Last year, the total dog taxes
amounted to 1852, so it viii be seen
that the increase in the number of
dogs. is augmenting the city treasury
year by year.
