BRIEFS ABOUT BADGERS

An illustrated history of Nebraska
the first volume of which recently APP
peared; and homo. ed alumnus or
the University of Wisconsin, Albert
Watkins, wrote the text. From
sources far and near, many of them
obscure and difficult of access, he has
brought together the story of the
founding and the building of the COM
monwealth of Nebraska. No pains have
been spared to make the work com.
plete, and it is enriched with wealth
of detail that make II OF imperishable
value. NebraskaRs express great sat
isfaction in knowing that a history or
their state has been prepared by a
discriminating scholar, writing in i'm
partial spirit and using the best histor-
ical method; that the work is some
thing more and better than the ordin-
airy slapdash state history that has
been palmed off on so many common.
wealths The fifth chapter in partic-
ular, discloses the high merits of the
work. This is brilliant piece or
writing and of conscientious investi-
cation. II deals with the epic ten
years. Observation-Disclosures the
Kansas-Nebraska bill, and the repeal
of the Missouri compromise. Perhaps
for the first time. the real facts in that
contest Of such vast moment in our
national history, are brought to light.
No pains have been spared to get at
the truth. Every measure has been
carefully followed throughout its en-
tire course; and Mr.. Watkins has TAX
en- the trouble to examine the unpub-
lished manuscript bills in the ar
chives at Washington. The results
are OF decided value. A food OF new
light Is thrown on the part played by
Stephen A. Douglas in that struggle;
and his motives and character are
cleared from the opprobrium which
partisan hatred and careless histor-
ians have unjustly put upon them.
His motives appear to have been nam
ly patriotic; and no more Influenced
by the desire to become president
than were those of Clay, Webster or
even Lincoln while Mr.. Watkins re-
searches go to show that contrary to
the popular view sanctioned by the
leading historians, the provision OF the
Kansas-Nebraska bill leaving the ques-
ton OF slavery or freedom to the de-
cision of the people was a reasonable,
perhaps thoroughly statesmanlike,
solution Of a dangerous problem. Mr..
Watkins has here contributed most
important chapter to our national his
tory, and rendered conspicuous
service to the cause of historical f-rta.
There are to be three volumes. Mr..
Watkins finished his studies at the
Wisconsin university in 1871.

MosHER LOSES DAM CASE.

Judge Tarrant Holds for St. croix
County Landowners.
Hudson, Wis, April 2S.--Judge w.
u. Tarrant, acting for Judge T.. w.
Helms, has decided that the New
Richmond Roller Mills company must
abate the Apple river dam at Str
Prairie, Wis, which has been the ba.
sis OF litigation in Wisconsin courts
for several years. Charles McDou.
gald finally has won his case.
The dam case has been tried twice
in the circuit court of st. Croix coun.
ty and once in the supreme court OF
Wisconsin. In 1908 the milling com.
pany, Of which o. w. Mosher. former
ly state senator, is president, built a
dam on the Apple river. An overflow
was caused upon land owned by Nc
Dougald. A pool Of stagnant water
was formed near his residence. it IL
said.
Attempts at a settlement were made
by Senator Mosher, but McDougaId
sued for damages. The case aroused
much interest because of the pronsi.
hence OF the defendant and the nature
OF the controversy.
The circuit court granted McDou-
gald 5000 damages, which was not
satisfactory to him. He appealed to
the state supreme court, which SUBJ
stantially affirmed the decision.
In 1905 McDougald, on behalf of
his children, who are the real heirs
to the property, he himself having
only life estate in it, began action
for damages again in the circuit court
of St Croix county. In this case the
jury found the heirs OF Charles Nc
Dougald entitled to $500 damages II
the dam was allowed to stand, and
800 damages II the dam we're re-
moved or abated.
The attorney for the plaintiff, Sena-
tor James A. Frear, moved that the
dam be abated, which Judge Tarrant
took under advisement. Now, after
many months OF consideration he
grants McDougald's motion. The re-
moval OF the dam would mean the
loss Of thousands OF dollars, and
Mosher is likely to be obliged to pay
heavily to keep II as II Is.
