UNIVERSITY OF WIS.
EXTENSION DEPARTMENT WILL
CONDUCT BRANCH CLASSES
HERE
OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUNG MEN
Instructor Will Be Here Every Thurs.
day Evening to Hear Classes

The University of Wisconsin.
through its Extension Division, is
making arrangements to organize
classes here, to assist those who
have been denied the advantages of
a university education and others
who desire instruction in certain
branches of engineering, even though
they may be university graduates.
George w. Hobbs, of Eau Claire,
one of the university's instructors in
engineering, was here this week,
looking over the city, and expressed
himself very enthusiastically over the
prospects for organizing a good class,
or classes, here. He said Ladysmith
seemed to be progressive" to an
unusual degree, a city that would
readily take up any proposition of
good promise, even though it might
be an innovation.
AS soon as classes are organized,
Mr.. Hobbs will come here once
week and give personal instruction
and supervision of the work of the
various students. 1t is probable that
the class will meet at the public Ii
brary every Thursday evening. At
each meeting Mr.. Hobbs will assign
to every member of the class work
for the ensuing week. While in some
ways the work is similar to, that of
a correspondence course, it differs
in the important particular that there
will be personal instruction and SUI
pervisiOn by competent instructor
That this plan is a great advance
over any correspondence course is
apparent and when it is further con-
sidered that the cost is nominal, on
ly SO cents week, it ought to at
tract many who desire instruction in
some of the lines offered, but have
never had an opportunity, heretofore,
to get it. Many who could go through
such course as we have here brief
ly outlined with the most gratifying
success, might make an utter failure
of the ordinary correspondence
course, on account of the lack of an
instructor and fellow classmen to
spur them on.
C. w. Collmann, also of EauClaire,
the field organizer, will be here next
week to organize classes. At the
start, courses will be offered in cleo
trical engineering, applied mathemat-
les, mechanical drawing, etc. and a
course in gas engines for auto men
and others.
If the proposition receives proper
encouragement here, and sufficient
members are secured for the clas
ses, these courses will be continued in
this city permanently, and eventual
ly there will be still further eXten-
sions of the work. New courses will
be offered when there is demand
for them.
Similar classes are being organized
in a number of the most wide-awake
cities of the state. In this district,
EauClaire, Ladysmiith and Rice Lake
have been selected as the first cities
in which to establish classes.
There is a fine opportunity here
for those of our young men who
really want to make something of
themselves. Do not let Opportunity
knock at your door in vain!

lures aggregating S~5,367.24 of which

PIGS EYE GRATED ON BABE
First Operation Of It's Kind Performed
in Baltimore That Blind
Child May See.

Baltimore. Md. March 25.-What is
believed to be the first operation of
its kind in this country was perform
ed at a local hospital when the cornea
of a pigs eye was taken off and graft
ed on the sightless eye Of a three
months old boy.
1t was said that previous operations
IN which rabbits eyes had been used
we're unsuccessful, but that expert
ments with pigs eyes had led scien-
lists to believe that they were more
adaptable. Two cases are said to be
on record where the grating of human
orneas ave sight to totally blind
eyes.
In operation the pig was chloroform-
ed, the eyeball taken out and the cor
nea u from it. An extraordinarily
fine needle and fine silk thread we're
used in putting the cornea in place
until it has grown to the child's eye
ball. The eye will remain bandaged
for about a week.

BUT ONE TRUST BILL IN SENATE
CONSIDERATION INDEPENDENT
OF LOWER HOUSE.
Sill VIII Probably Sc Rushed to Gen.
eral Debate More Quickly in
Upper House.

Washington, March 26.-That trust
legislation long under consideration by
committees in both branches of con
gress will be considered in the senate
independently of house action is prac-
tically assured after a meeting Of the
senate interstate commerce commit
tee. The committee is drafting a sin
gle bill to embrace all features OF pro-
posed legislation to supplement the
Sherman law.
1t is probable. according to senators
particularly interested in the pending
legislation, that the senate Will take
UP the subject for general debate be
fore the house committees have com
pleted the bills upon which they have
been engaged.
Senator NeWlands. chairman of the
senate committee, said last night that
no part o fthe proposed legislation
would be reported from the commit
tee until all features have been en-
bodied into one bill and he predicted
that this measure would not require
extended debate in the senate.
Ignoring the revised house bill to
create an interstate trade commission,
the senate interstate commerce COM
mission has prepared as the keystone
section Of the proposed antitrust bill,
d measure which differs materially
from the house measure. 1t proposes
a commission Of five instead of three
members and would extend 20 the
commission more authority than does
the house bill.
For one thing, members Of the SEN
ate committee insist that the commits
sion should have authority TO inquire
on its own initiative into alleged viO-
lations by corporations of the anti
trust laws, instead of awaiting direc-
tons from the president, attorney gen
eral or either house OF congress as
provided in the house hill.

When Miss Cruce. carrying a large
bunch Of American beauty roses,
crashed a bottle Of champagne against
the prov Of the giant seafighter, and
at the same time crying II christen
thee oklahoma. the crowd sent up
cheers Of enthusiasm which contin-
ued until the vessel had glidcd far out
into the Delaware river. Afterward
the sponsor was presented with
a diamond studded bracelet, the Gift
of the builders.
Senators owen and Gore, who we're
members Of the launching party, in
addresses, expressed pleasure ct the
conservation of tie ship to what Sec
rotary Daniels OF the navy termed the
"typification Of the national Christian
spirit"
Mr.. Daniels said he hoped the Okla
homa never would be caller upon to
fight or to win a battle in warfare.
Governors Tenor Of Pennsylvania,
Glynn Of New York and Baldwin Of
Connecticut were among the guests at
