GOETZ FINALLY
GETS SURETIES
County Treasurer Elect Qualities 1cP
Possession Of Office at
Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Jan. 17.-Julius J.
Goetz, twice elected county treasurer,
finally has secured his bond of $2,065,-
GEO and will be able to take over the
Office which County Treasurer Theur-
ing has been holding down pending
the result Of Mr.. Goetz's attempt to
furnish the security required. The
county treasUrer-elect raised the usual
bond. but could not get the $S00,000
bond demanded for viaduct bonds
which covers the funds needed for the
Grand avenue viadUct. Now it is an
nounced that Charles +. Pfstar,
George Brumder and other private ctti-
zens have gone on the bond, and with
the assistance Of surety companies
made up the 100000.
It is expected that the legislature
will this winter reduce the bonds re-
CURED of the county treasurer, so that
future treasurers will not be placed
in the same plight as Mr.. Goetz, who
had to work harder to get possession
Of his Office than he did to get elected.

JOKE BELIEVED
SUICIDE CAUSE
Prankish Letter Said to Have Led
Young Girl to End
Own Life.

Milwaukee, Jan. lot is believed
that letter which caused 14-year-old
Erma Jentzen to kill herself was simp-
ly n stupid joke perpetrated by some
of her girl companions, though it is
suspected that young man was at
the back of the plot. The police and
postal authorities have been conduct
ing a searching investigation and be-
lieve they will be able to uncover
those who were back of the letter.
Postal Inspector Bird said that the
girl was innocent of any wrongdOing
and was frightened to death by the
threats of her parents to send her to
the reform school. 1t is believed that
a girl wrote the letter at the instiga
ton Of a young man. Both will be To-
Gated, according to the police.

IN closing the doors and having the

an opportunity to reply, but Tillman
declared that part of his remarks only
a bit of humOr and pleasantly, and
agreed to withdraw it and apologize
to the offended senators, and do it in
open session. The secret session was
followed by brief open one. in which
Tillman made Il prOfuSe apology to

This apology WAS at once accepted
by Carmack who regretted that he

friend. and he too Withdrew words he
had uttered in protest.
And that ended the incident.

University Notes.

The large growth of the University
of Wisconsin, as shown not only by
the increased attendance, but also by
the additions to the faculty. the new
buildings erected, and the more COM
pIete equipment of departments of IN
structiOn, forms an important part OF
the biennial report OF President
Van Hise to the board of regents
Just issued. A comparison of the
student enrolment for the two years
past shows an increase of 422 for the
period. the growth for the first year
being from 3, 151 to 3,542. and for the
second year an Incl ease to 3,571. The
most marked growth was in the col
lege of agriculture, which more than
doubled its attendance in the two
ears. and in the college of letters and
science, which gained 267 students.
The graduate school, which for num-
Der of years had made no gain in en-
rollment, has, in the past two years.
grown from 115 to 161 students for the
regular college year. IT the graduates
taking summer session work are
added, the enrolment is increased to
228 for the year 19O4-5, and 29S for the
year 1906. Statistics for the summer
session enrolment also show credit
able growth, there being 403 students
in 1904, and 528 the next year, an in
crease of 125 students.
UNIVERSITY FACULTY ENLARGED.
The number of professors, associate
professors, and assistant professors IN
the University of Wisconsin has been
increased during the past two years
until it exceeds by one the number or
instructors and assistants. In his
biennial report to the university re-
gents, President G. r. Van Hise points
out that it is exceptional in large in
situations for the men of profess orlal
rank to outnumber the instructors and
assistants. This improved organlZa-
ton of the faculty has aimed to make
the grade of instruction in elementary
university work not inferior to that In
advanced work. In all those depart
ments in which freshmen and sopho-
mores are prepared TO take the work
the professors, associate professors,
and assistant professors are doing
their full share of elementary teach
ing. The work of many of the depart
ments is so advanced that freshmen
and sophomores are not prepared for
it. A student can not enJer classes IN
anatomy, for instance, until he has
studied biology, and hence does not
have the professor of anatomy until
the later years of his course. A stud
emit can not take geology until he has
had physics and chemistry. and conse-
quently does not come in contact with
the professor of geology during the
freshman and sophomore years. When
a student is prepared to enter any of
these departments he Immediately
comes in contact with the professors
of that department.

Portsmouth. O., Jan. 21.-A terrific
storm and the sudden breaking of the
leVee caused Portsmouth a night of
terror, and only few scattered pOr-
tiCnS of the city escaped the food.
Hundreds of people were asleep in
their homes when the rush Of the wat
erS from the Scioto came. and scores
had remarkable ESCAPES from drown
ing. Many fed from their sick beds,
dozens of Shrieiing women and chill
1ren staggered aimleSsly through the
streets clad only in night dresses.
The water rose SO rapidly that peo-
pie had no time TO save anything. Few
could render any assistance to the
helpless. 1t was necessary TO chop N
the roof to rescue some imprisoned
families. Many found refuge in
box cars and on house tops till day
break. Much live stock was lost The
men in charge Of the flood pumping
station were forced todesert their posts
and to fee for their lives, leaving the
structure in flames.

Fast Lines To Be Consolidated in
One Great Organization,
1t Is Said.
vANDERBILTs DOING THE JOB
The Plans, It Is Learned, Are Now
Practically Matured.
Work Can BE Done Better That Way,
and Besides There Is Money
To BE Saved.

Milwaukee. Jan. 19.-The Evening
Wisconsin says: The most important
and by far the most sweeping con
soidation of freight lines of the great
railway systems and combinations Of
the country that has been brought
about in years is booked to be made
within a short time by the Vanderbilt
system. The plans, it is learned, are
now practically matured. The plan is
the absolute consolidation of all of tae
fast freight lines and 'dispatch
Ines which have for years been OPP
Grated under the general Vanderbilt
system, and will place all the lines un-
der one corpOration-the Merchants
Dispatch company.
Lines Included i'm the Move.
The principal dispatch and freight
lines which are to be absorbed or con
sOlidated under the one head of the
Merchants Dispatch company, are the
following: Operating over the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern road =
the Red line, West Shore line, Jersey
Central = Lake Shore Dispatch. and
White line. Operating over the Big
Four system-White lines. Operating
Oh the Michigan Central road = Blue
line. North Shore Dispatch, Rutland
Michigan Central lines. Operating oil
the Grand Trunk System-Milwaukee-
Michigan line There are also several
otI,o, 70 ~ froicyht IipoC i'm tho SVStnm
mostly operating in the east.
Roads in the Vanderbilt System.
These various freight lines have
been operated chiefly over the Wander
bilt system which covers a number
OF roads with a total of 1892 miles,
principally in the east. The largest
roads of the Vanderbilt system, nine
teen in all, are the New York Central
and Hudson river road 3,12O miles,.
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern
q 800 miles,, Michigan Central 0.743
miles,, and Big -Four (2.329 miles,.
With the exception of the Gould sys
tom, which has a total mileage of 90,
eco miles. the Vanderbilt system of
roads is the greatest in the country.
Looks Like Money Saver.
The early consolidation of the fast
freight lines of the Vanderbilt system
is said to be the OutgrOwth of long
ard careful consideration and figuring
upon the part Of high traffic officials,
with the result that it has been de
cided that better and more effective
results can be obtained by operating
but one large fast freight or dispatch
system instead of q dozen lines, each
with separate set of officers and
agents.
