Resolution Is Adopted by Wisconsin
Legislators Favoring the SulloWay
Measure Before Congress.

Madison.-The senate adopted a
substitute for the Linley joint reso-
luton, requesting the Wisconsin
members in congress to vote for the
Sulloway pension bill. The resolu-
ton had been laid over, but on mo-
ton of Senator James that action
was reconsidered and then the sena-
tor introduced a substitute which on
his motion was adopted and the
measure messaged over to the as
sembly.
Senator Randolph, who opposed the
resolution, was elected presiding Of
ficer in the absence of Lieut.. Gov.
Morris and President Pro TEN. Mar
tin, and as a result he was not in a
position to oppose Senator James
motion for reconsideration of the
vote on which the resolution was laid
over.
Senator James, who is the former
department commander of the Wis
consin G. A. R., was deeply inter
ested in the resolution and believes
that it would influence the Wisconsin
members in congress respecting their
attitude on the Sulloway bill.

MRS. DURkEE DIES
At KEhOSHA HOME
WIDOW OF THIRD u. S, SENATOR
FROM WISCONSIN PASSED
LAST DAYS OBSCURITY.
CLAIMANT TO 100000 600
Recovery of Bonds Alleged to Have
Been Left With Government by
Senator Durkee Would Have Made
Her Worlds WeaIthiest Woman.

Kenosha.-Mrs. Caroline Durkee,
So years old, widow of Charles Dur
kee, third United States senator from
Wisconsin, and formerly territorial
governor of Utah, is dead at her
home in this city.
Mrs. Durkee was the sole claimant
to the millions of dollars which have
been sought from the United States
government on the claim that Senator
Durkee left large number of rail-
way bonds in the United States treas
ury in 1866.
The courts of the government de-
clared that the effort to collect the
value of the bonds was a mammoth
swindle. Mrs. Durkee never ques-
toned the decision of the courts, but
she held that she did not know
whether or not her husband had left
any bonds with the government.
Mrs. Durkee had lived a secluded
life since the death of her husband
in 1872.
She had never taken any personal
part in pushing the claim. The last
demand made on the claim was for
something over 100000
At her bedside was just one old
friend and companion, who had re-
manned with her in the last fight
against death. Many persons believe
that had she secured her rights from
the United States government she
would have died the richest woman
in the country and one Of the richest
in the world.

CAPTURE A PROVOST MARSHAL
In Raid at Fredericksburg Oficer ana
Escort, With TrainIcad of
Tobacco, Captured.

On March 4, 1865, the Third Bri-
gade, Third Division, Twenty-fourth
Corps formerly the Eighteenth
Corpse, composed of the 5Sth and
188th Pa, 10th Mass, End n. H. and
21st Conn, broke camp near Fort
Harrison, on the James river, and en-
parked on transports for FTedericks-
burg then in possession of the Con-
federates, writes w. r. SchaIer, OF
Volier, Pa, in the National Tribune.
On arriving at that place we surprised
and captured the prOvoSt-marshal, to-
gether with an escort of cavalry and
train loaded with tobacco, ready
for shipment. The provost-marshal
was found hiding in an upstairs room
under a bed, but our boys found him.
After destroying the tobacco and
setting the place in repair, we re
embarked for Fortress Monroe, meet
ing with some opposition on our way
down the river; but our gunboats
soon opened the way with shot and
she'll among the surprised Johnnies,
who were not aware of the large guns
on board. We soon arrived at Fort
ress Monroe, and went on to Norfolk
and Portsmouth and coaled up for
further orders. Our next move was
up the Potomac river to Kinsale,
where we marched out in the forenoon
with strict orders to touch nothing
along the route. But after some hot
coffee for dinner we marched back to
our boats on the river, receiving or
ders to take anything eatable, and we
certainly did ourselves justice in the
eating line
On our return trip we marched
through a strip of thick woods with
heavy underbrush, where a band of
Confederates lying in ambush struck
the rear company of the 2lst Conn.
(the rear of the column, and before
the regiment could resist several of
the comapny were killed with the
saber. The Confederates fed through
the brush and made their escape. On
our arrival at the river in the after
noon we received orders to butcher
and eat. Our supply consisted of cat
tie, hogs, ducks, chickens, turkeys
and honey, and it was an easy matter
to prepare supper. Before embark
ing for the return trip our gunboats
opened on the guerrillas, who made
themselves too prominent. At Fort

DECISION GIVES KON0P SEAT
Supreme Court Ruling Upholds Ac-
ton of Canvassing Board in Ninth
District Congressional Contest.

Madison.-The supreme court has
ruled, in effect, that Thomas Konop
is the legal choice of the Ninth Wis
consin district for congress to sue
coed Gustav Kuestermann. The de-
cision Of the court insures the seat
to Mr.. Konop unless the house itself
Gusts him.
The ruling was on the demurrer
filed by Kuestermann to the return
of the election made by the state
board of canVassers, in the manda-
mus action brought by Kuestermann
to compel the state board of canvass
ers TO award him the certificate of
election.
The whole contest turned on a
singular complication arising on the
returns from Oconto county
The certificate of the county board
of canvassers of that county stated
that Konop received 1,450 votes in
the county. If he did, it is admitted
that he had majority of one in the
district; but the tabulated statement
which is attached to the certificate
and is made by law part of it, show
ing the votes cast in each precinct,
showed sixteen votes for Konop as
cast in the first precinct of the town
of Pensaukee. If this was the COR
rect vote in that precinct, then Konop
had only 1, 444 votes in the county,
and such was the first footing at the
bottom Of the column; but opposite
the number sixteen was written a
notation as follows: twenty-five
shown on the tally sheet, inspectors
statement, shows t." and under the
first footing of 1,444, six had been
added, making the total of 1 ,450.
Kuestermann claimed that no at
tention could be paid by the canvass
ing board or by the court to the
memorandum, but that the figures
sixteen in the regular column must
control, and hence that on the face
of the returns it must be held that
only 1,444 votes were cast for Konop
in Oconto county, and in that case
Kuestermann was elected by a ma
jority of five votes. The state can
vassers held that they must be con-
trolled by the certificate, which
stated that Konop received 1,450
votes, and awarded the certificate to
him.
Representative Kuestermann has
issued statement at Washington in
timating that he may ask a recount
before the house of representatives.

VARS|TYS GROWTH
CALLED TOO GREAT
OVERCROWDING is PROBLEM OF
WISCONSIN, SCHOOL, SAYS
SOUTHERN EDUCATOR.
LIMIT TO UPPER ClASsMEN
Chancellor Kirkland of Vanderbilt
College Declares Wisconsin Soph-
ignores and Freshmen Must Soon
Attend the Smaller Institutions.

Madison.-That the University of
wisconsin will eventually become a
school limited to upper classes is the
prediction of Chancellor kirkland of
Vanderbilt university, who has been
investigating conditions during his
stay here. He says that the great
problem that the university is now
racing is how to furnish education
for the great number of students
that are enrolling for work here. The
unQer cIassmen, according to the
southern educator, will have to Sc
cure their preliminary training in the
smaller institutions of the state, such
as Beloft, Lawrence, Ripon and Car
roll colleges.
The time will come when Wis
consin will have not 5000 but 10, 900
students" he said. "a body of such
size is impossible of receiving the
proper instruction. 1t is too large
to remain a unit and the Individual
will be lost in the crowd. In order
to remedy this, the university will
have to be broken up into smaller
units, and l believe this will be
brought about by distributing the
freshmen and sophomores to smaller
colleges.
Wisconsin is still the model of
what state university should be and
is doing great work. The state is
supporting its university as no other
state is doing, and the whole spirit
OF education seems to be better here
than elsewhere. The attitude of the
legislature is indeed gratifying and
this is due to the large number of
graduates who are serving in it,

EARLY LIFE-SAVING STATION

On the south shore Of Long Island,
n. Y, near the present Napeague life
saving station, half hidden from view
by the sand dunes that have been
built up about it by the gales that
have swept the coast during the past
half-hundred years, stands an aban-
doned life-saYing station, the only one
Of its type in existence, and the first
that was erected by the national gov
eminent.
in 1845 the Humane Society of Mas
sachusetts, which may De considered
the parent of the United States life
saving service, had IS stations on the
Massachusetts coast equipped with
boats and mortars for throwing lines
to stranded vessels. in addition to nu
merous huts or houses Of refuge at ex-
posed points
Congress finally was awakened to
action and bill appropriating $500
for ife-saving purposes was passed
March 3, 1847, In 1848 a second ap-
preparation of $4,000 was made
Again in 1849 the sum of $4,000
was appropriated and eight stations
were built on the coast of Long
Island N. Y, that at Napeague being
one of the number and the only one
Of the original sixteen, so called, now
in existence.
The stations were plain houses a
feet long, is feet wide, Of two stories
and four rooms. One lower room was
used by the crew, which later manned
each station, as a mess room. The
other contained the life boat and addi-
tional apparatus used at shipwrecks.
One Of the upper rooms was used as
chamber, the other as storeroom
The old station that still stands
near Napeague was one Of the first
TO be manned by crew Of regular
surfmen. 1t is in fairly good state
Of preservation because it was used
until a comparatively short time. ago
as the home of the coast guards.
Visitors to the Napeague life-saving
station take great pleasure in visiting
