PRAISES STATE UNIVERSITY
President Jordan of Leland Stanford
Compares Wisconsin Soho oil with
Berlin University.

Madison. 1.-THE University of Wis
consin is typical of the state univer-
sity of the future" writes President
David Starr Jordan of Leland Stan
ford university in discussing great
American universities in the current
number of the Independent.
Already the University Of Wiscon-
sin ventures to challenge comparison
with the University of Berlin, the
work of the kingdom of Prussia, of
about the same age and with COM
munity not much richer to draw up
on. And no one can say that the re-
publican institution suffers in COM
parison."
The University of Wisconsin has
gone farther than other state univer-
sites, declares President Jordan,
toward devoting itself TO the actual
needs of the actual people who give
it its support" This has come about,
he shows, through the local advan-
tages of the site at the capital city;
of a powerful and progressive depart
ment of agriculture which had en-
HANGED the financial prosperity OF
every farmer in the state; of a presl-
dent who has realized in full the pos
sibilities of the situation, and OF a
faculty able and willing to take in
hand every activity of whatever kind
that Wisconsin has to offer.

MRS. INGEBORG NELSON DEAD
Mother of u. S. Senator knute Nelson
of Minnesota Passes Away
at Deerfie!d.

Deerfeld.-The life story of Mrs.
lngeborg Nelson, mother of Senator
knute Nelson of Minnesota, who died
in this city recently, is typical of the
struggles and hardships that have
been met by many another immigrant
family from the north of Europe,
coming to America in search of better
opportunities.
When Mrs. Nelson crossed the At
lantic from Norway, the future Uni
ted States senator was 7 years old i.
The trip was made in a sailing vessel
and required seven weeks.
In their home in Norway the Mel
sons had made a scanty living in the
mountains, herding their small fiocks
of cattle and goats and at times OBJ
tanned some ready cash from the sale
of hoops and slaves for the barrels
used by the herring packers on the
coast. Prospects for the future were
not bright in the bleak mountains of
Norway and it was determined to
move to America.
Accordingly in 1S49 the Nelson's
set out and after long, dreary pas
sage across the water reached New
York on July 4. They were not a
little surprised at the noisy welcome
they received. They did not remain
long in New York, but made their
way up the Hudson to Albany and
down the Erie canal to the Great
Lakes and thence to Chicago. After
a few months they moved to Wal
worth county, Wisconsin, and lived
for time near Palmyra.
In 1852 they moved to farm near
Koshkonong prairie, where young
Knute preferred to remain at home

sack on his shoulder to attending a

RISKS LIFE FOR MOTHER
Percy Allen Brings Corpse Through
Mexican Revolutionary Terri
tori to Green Bay.

Marinette.-Percy Allen of Next
co, formerly of Marinette, arrived
here after a most thrilling expert
ence in getting the body of his dead
mother from Madra, Mexico, through
revolutionary territory to Green Bay,
where the remains were inferred.
When the train bearing the body
reached La Hunta, telegraph wires
were found down. A long wait to
pass troop train followed. When
the military train arrived 1t was
learned that it had been attacked
by rebels at Sanandreas and five Mex
lean soldiers and three women had
been killed.
At Sanandreas the Mexican colonel
in charge Of the train stepped onto
the platform and shot at a reyolu-
zionist. In an instant 100 shots rid
died his body from revolutionists hid
den behind every tree and rock.
Eight on the train besides the colonel
were killed.
The casket then had to be trans
ferred to train on another line. This
was accomplished by letting it down
a steep mountain side with ropes.
Trouble was next experienced at Long
bridge, which was examined before
the train passed. 1t was found to
be plugged with dynamite, but when
the rebels found no troops on the
train they allowed it safe passage.
few miles beyond Sanandreas
the train was wrecked. The Mexican
crew deserted in fear and the Amer
lean passengers had to take charge.
An American engineer on the loco
motive. short distance out of San
andreas, refused to go further, say
ing that the Mexicans ought to go
back and fight the rebels. Other
Americans on the train, however,
finally prevailed upon him to pull
ahead and the United States was
finally entered.
Allen, who has lived in Mexico for
several years, will not return. He
brought the first proclamation Of the
rebels into the United States, leaving
it at Ell Paso. The document was
presented to him by a revolutionist
leader on the trip.

established. Sheriff Walker was
called and at once went to the scene

MODEL NEW COUNTY JAIL
Recently Completed Structure at
viroqua is Designed on Most
Modern Lines.

Virouua. Vernon county's new
jail, which has been in process OF
construction for several months, is
now practically ready for occupancy
The structure will be one of the most
modern of it's kind in the northwest,
though modest in size. The building,
excepting for the barrel windows, has
more the appearance of bastile. In
that respect, as well as in many other
features, the architect has carried out
to a marked degree the advanced
ideas ndorsed by the board OF super
visors. In modern appointments the
structure is flawless. Perfect SANTA
ton and safety against fire is assured
the prisoners by perfect ventilation,
lavatories, and direct and indirect
methods of heating, and an absolute
" fireproof construction. The cost
of the building will be $40, S41.94.
