(Fron Wednesdays Daily.)

(trom Wednesdays Daily.l
Max Scobs, carpenter by trade,
residing in this city, who has had a
career somewhat checkered, was
placed under arrest yesterday after
noon on a rather serious charge-one
that will no doubt send him over the
road for good term if proven guilty.
The charge against him is that of
breaking seal on Northwestern
road boxcar. 1t would seem that the
evidence is quite strong from the fact
that it is claimed that agent Bier
mann caught him in the act last Sun
day. The complaint against Scobe was
made by one of the detectives of the
road, who has been here and together
with Chief of Police Block, succeeded
in effecting the arrest. The prisoner
has been connected with several
escapedes in the past and his record
will certainly not help him very
materially in MS present trouble. In

Railroads Benefited.

The farmers throughout the state
are waking up to the fact, that the
two cents mile rate on the railroads
is not of much benefit to them. Be-
fore we had such law the railroads
made special rate for special occasions
of one single rate for round trip tick
ct. sometimes even less, but now the
full two cent rate must be paid both
ways and as a result farmers travel
far less than they did before the new
law went into effect. Instead of in
juring the railroads it has benefited
them-and such is reform.

Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Jaecke of

with sad accident last week, passing
away on Sunday morning. 1t seems
that the child went out to the hay
field with his father, who was engage

hay wagon was nearly loaded and the

the horses started to walk off. The
child becoming frightened, slid off
the rear end of the load and received
injuries. He was Immediately taken
to the house and physician sum-
moned. The injiuies did not appear
to be of a serious nature till last

LUTHERAN SYNOD
AT MIL WAUKEE ENDS
GATHERING FOR WISCONSIN
AND OTHER STATES.
High Praise for Thesis of Prof.
Wente of This City Accepted
BY the Synod = Northwestern
University Was One of the Main
TopiCS-ShOWS Big Growth.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

The meeting of the Lutheran synod
of Wisconsin and other states came to
cluse yesterday afternoon after a
weeks session at the Lutheran church
of Rev. Jenny On Mitchell street in
Milwaukee. The meeting was we'll
attended, nearly four hundred dele
gates being present.
Members of the faculty of the
Northwestern university were present
during the series of meetings and
returned last night. Prof. Wente of
the local university had the thesis for
this years session and they were re-
ceived with great praise by the synod.
One of the Milwaukee papers stated
that 1.-The paper of DR.. Wente was
worked out with great diligence, and
accuracy and was listened to by the
members with the utmost attention,
hardly any interruption or criticism
taking place The thesis were
accepted by the synod.
Northwestern university was one
of the main topics in the business
meetings of the synod. The growth
and large enrollments of the univer-
sity the past few years made il
necessary to enlarge 10th faculty anG
board of regents. 1t was decided
that two new professors be elected al
the next board meeting 50 that the
large classes may be separated ut the
college ard special attention be paiC
to the Individual members. The
teachers will most likely be elected
before the new school year opens.
The board of regents was increased
from fifteen to nineteen members,
insisting of nine ministers and nine
, laymen. The following are the new
ly elected members: Rev. E. Dorm.

The much talked Of gymnasium may
now become realization soon. The
synod, owing to the heavy expenses
during the past years, has been un
able to provide for such a building
for the boys during their free hours
and is still financially unable to do So
but it was decided to appoint com
mittee TO collect the necessary fund:
for gymnasium from individuals Of

/ will be done to erect a turning hal

gymnasium would certainly add to the
beauty of the city. That the past
