is SLAIN BY TRAMPs.

:. j. Morgan Evidently Held Up. Muir.
dered and Body Thrown Into Lake.
Tramps are believed to have muir
dered E. J. Morgan, the Oshkosh 1Um-
Der salesman who mysteriously disap-
peared shortly before Christmas and
whose dead and almost naked body
was found on the lake shore near Man
itowoc last week.
It is believed that while walking
near the dock on the north side OF the
river on the night of Dec. p, Morgan
was set upon by tramps who 1ntest
that section of the town, was muir
dered and robbed of his money and
iewelry, partially derobed and thrown
into the lake. When his body was
found it was clad only in union SUIT
No trace of the rest of his clothing mas
been found. and this has been one OF
the most mysterious features ftne
case.
IF the tramp theory is accepted, TINS
would largely go to explain the dlsap-
Dearance of his outer garments. AT
the inquest it developed that Morgan, S
can was found by the captain OF the
schooner Francis Minor, which is tied
IN at the docks. A thorough search OF
the neighborhood was then made Tor
other articles of clothing belonging TO
the dead man, but without success.
officer Trochelle, the last person
who is known to have seen Morgan
alive. testified that the dead man told
him that he carried a large amount OF
money on his person. Medical testl-
mony showed that death occurred be-
fore the immersion of the body, as
there was no water on the lungs.-W.

BARRED FROM SALOONS,

Faculty of Wisconsin SUP REEVES Old
Rule.
Students who enter saloons are
| liable to expulsion if this offence is
proved to the satisfaction of the faculty
| of the University of Wisconsin. This
is an old rule of the faculty, but has
| long been allowed to lie dormant, on
the theory that the university is a
public state institution, and that
students are entitled to the same
| liberties as individual citizens with re-
gard to whether or not they shall In
dulge in the drinking of beer or other
beverages. Lately, however, this rule
against the entering of saloons has
been revived and is being applied with
strictness.
Ordinarily students who yot into
trouble with the police of Madison
have not been dealt with summar1ly
by the faculty, unless they were con-
victed and punished in court, when
they were expelled from college. Re-
Gently. however, the faculty began to
dismiss students against whom indis-
putable proof of entering saloos was
lodged. Several students in this class
have been allowed to withdraw vol
UNFAIRLY in lieu of being sent away in
disgrale.
Two reasons are assigned for this
strictness on the part of the faculty
One is that drunkenness of students
is said to have increased so much as
to alarm the faculty. The other rea-
son is that the legislative investigating
committee is probing into the ad
ministration of the university, and
one of the lines Of inquiry being
pressed aggressively is in regard to
the moral atmosphere and the extent
Of supervision exercised by the faculty
over the moral welfare of the young
man attending school here.-W.

sheboyqan May Also Decide to Install
Fireboat.
Sheboygan business men and manu-
facturers have entered an emphatic
protest against any more wooden fac
tory buildings, as a result of the re-
cent big fire which endangered the
entire city. They will call on the city
council to make separate limits for the
factory districts and allow nothing to
be erected in them hereafter but ire
proof material buildings. 1t was also
charged that the fire department was
short of hose during the big condagra-
ton and that the pressure on the
water mains was insufficient, as the
streams could not reach the tops OF
the high buildings. There is also a
big demand from the property owners
along the river front for a fire boat,
and it is claimed that but for the prl-
vate fire plants of the factories, the
entire manufacturing district would
have been swept by the flames.

BANKS OF CANADA GAIN; '
PEOPLES SAVINGS BIG

Record OF Financial institutions for
the Year 1905 Shows Remarkable
Prosperity Ill Over the Dominion.
Ottawa, Canada. March 1.-The year
which has just closed has been one or
the most satisfactory and progressive
with the financial institutions Of Can"
ada, and the business Of the charter"
ed banks reflects the unprecedented
prosperity enjoyed throughout the
country during the year 1905.
The increased demands made upon
the banks Of the Dominion by the COM
mercial and agricultural expansion OK
the year were provided for without
the monetary disturbances sometimes
noted in the United States. Whatever
opinions may be held as to the COM
position of the Canadian banking sys-
tenn, it is claimed that its flexible
currency has many commendabl@
features, and without which the last
few months Of the year must have pro-
duced a money stringency with prob"
ably disastrous results. 1t is felt that
a wider field Of credit in the Dominion
Is needed, and consequently the capl"
tai of many existing banking tnstitu-
tions has been increased and several
new banks are in progress Of oGganiza-
ton.
The chartered banks OF Canada to"
day enjoy the confidence OF the gen.
eral public to a greater extent than
ever before. The total deposits OF the
people In these institutions last year
were $522,S17,000, which shows an in
crease Of over $56,000,000 for the year.
In actual money in bank probably no
other country In the world, compare
lively speaking, can make a better
showing than Canada.
The total deposits OF the Canadian
people in the Government savings
banks, in special savings institutions,
and in the chartered banks alone
amounted last year to the enormous
sum of 5000 ,454000. This represents
an average credit balance OF over
800 per head Of the population OF the
Dominion, and it is stated that the
only other country in the world that
approaches this record Is Denmark.
where the average credit balance Is
about s96.50 per capita. The above
figures. however, do not comprehend
moneys deposited with private bank
ers. loan companies. mortgage cor
porations and trust companies, or
what Is boarded up in secret hiding
places.
The annual report of the Dominion
finance department, which has just
been issued to the public, shows a
surplus in the Dominion treasury for
the fiscal year of $7.S63,000. and refers
to the remarkable increase In the pub.
lie revenues during the year.

With Flooding Lands.

begun suit against the Kimberly Clark
Company of Niagara, Wis, in the
