in the uplift of the sport than he

UNIVERSITY IN NEW FIELD
Purpose of the New University of
Wisconsin institute of NUM-

Madison.-Helping the masses to
lift themselves into the classes, is
the novel work being undertaken
by the University of Wisconsin
through the new institute of mu-
nicipal and social service, which be-
gins its work the latter part. of Oc-
tober.
The congested. unsanitary areas
of Milwaukee and other large cities
of the state with their thousands of
ignorant and vicious inhabitants. the
reformatories and the charitable in
situations will furnish the field for
endeavor. The objects of the insti-
tute are to lift the multitudes of in
competents to a higher level, to en-
able them to earn their own living
and thus relieve the state of part
of its burden.
The means by which these objects
are hoped to be accomplished is
through the training of competent,
enthusiastic men and women, who
will take charge of the social settle
ment work, reformatories, and char
liable institutions. and apply the
principles of scientific philanthropy
to the conduct of these affairs.
The institute will have two gem
eral courses, both to be given in
Milwaukee. by experts in city plan
ming and city government, and ex-
perienced directors of charitable in
situations. The work will consist
of lectures, conferences, observation
visits to the homes of the unfit, and
field work under the personal di-
rection of Mrs Anna Gerlin Spencer
of the University of Wisconsin, and
of the New York School of Philan-
thropy

CHARGED WITH DISHONESTY
Other important Gases Disposed of
by Decisions Handed Down by
Wisconsin Supreme
Court.

Madison. THAT technicalities and
hair-splitting differentiation will not
be permitted in Wisconsin to turn
the scales of justice to the advantage
Of the individual who seeks thereby
to escape the processes of law, was
again disclosed in the judgment of
the supreme court in reversing the
order of the circuit court of Mari
nette county in the case of the state
against Thomas W. Brown
The case was one OF those in
which a public official is charged
with offenses against the state by in
dictment, and objection is made by
the defendant to the terms of the
indictment. In the present case
Brown, who was sheriff of Marinette
county, and who was charged in each
of some ten indictments, objects to
the proceeding upon the ground that
the indictment charges that Brown,
by false pretense, induced the county
of Marinette to pay him certain sums
of money.
1t was contended by Brown that
there is no charge that the county
paid the money or that Brown re-
ceived it; that the only offense
charged is that the county was in
duced to pay with no suggestion that
it did pay.
The court, in an opinion by JUS
tice Barnes, declares that "prece-
dents from foreign jurisdictions on
matters of pleading and practice in
criminal cases are often illusory and
misleading. On a question such as
the one before us, the judgments
of other tribunals may aid, but they
cannot control or conclude this
court
The indictment in the present case
says that the defendant did induce
Marinette county to pay the money,
and the supreme court finds no rea-
son in the form of the language to
conclude that it means anything
other than that the county paid the
money as charged in the indictment
and that the defendant received it.

CEDAR FALLS DAM
NEARS COMP Fiction
AFTER NOV. Is WILL SUPPLY
POWER TO MENOMONEE AND
CHIPPEWA VALLEY.
TOTAL COST ABOUT S5OO,0OO
viii Develop About 5000 Horse
power and Will Back Red Cedar
River Into Lake Fourteen
Miles Long.

Menomonie.-AThe big dam in the
Red Cedar river at Cedar Falls, this
county begun March / will be COM
pleted in a short time.
This dam is one of the finest con-
crete dams in northwestern Wiscon-
sin and consists of two immense but
tresses. connected by decking and
apron giving absolute control of the
quantity of water passing over the
dam, and strength of construction
adequate to the requirements.
At the point where the dam spans
the Red Cedar river, it is $50 feet
wide, both shores being high and
one side a solid wall of rock. On
the other side it will be necessary
to strengthen the bank by the use
of masonry, a work which is now
in progress. The dam will carry a
ffty-foot head of water, and will
develop about $1,000 horse power,
which will be used in generating
electric power
Bridges above Cedar Falls are
being raised, to place them above
the new water level, soon to be es-
tablished. The basin to be flooded
extends back a distance of fourteen
miles, to the village of COlfax, and
will form large lake. Incidentally,
It will effect the obliteration OF
Lambs Creek Falls, one of the most
picturesque of Dunn county's many
scenic spots, and the favorite resort
of Menomonie picnic parties.
The cost of the dam alone will
amount TO upwards of $500, 900; and
the whole enterprise, including dam
embankment, power house, machin-
cry and other details, will represent
an outlay of half million dollars.
The object of this enterprise is to
furnish additional power for the pur-
poses of the Chippewa Valley Elec-
trio Railway, Light & Power COM
pany. This company already owns
and operates an extensive power
plant in this city, which will not be
abandoned, but will continue to be
