BEGGS SELLS WISCONSIN
INTERESTS, IS REPORT

The John I. Beggs interests in the
Wisconsin Power, Heat and Light
company, involving twenty-seven To-
cal plants in small Wisconsin cities
and power plants at Kilbourn and
Prairie du Sac, have been sold tC
Marshall Sampsell, Martin Insvall and
a syndicate of Chicago capitalists.
Mr.. Beggs left Milwaukee for St
Louis on Monday, and efforts to get in
to communication with him were un-
availing. Confirmation of the gigantic
transfer of property was secured
however, from an authoritative source
The Edison company of Chicago is
behind the project, which is consid-
cred one of the largest electrical dis
tributing deals of recent years in this
country. 1t includes 107 miles of pow
err transmission lines now building in
to Portage from various cities of the
state
The plants are located in the smaller
cities, places of the size of -Omro, Ber-
lin and Beaver Dam. 1t does not in
clude the Observation-Disclosures interur-
ban road and service plants.
Nothing definite is known as to the
plans of Mr.. Beggs. 1t is rumored
however, that he is about to leave Mil
waukee.

Section At Hearing Before
Legislative Committee
On August IL.

The hearing before the legislative
committee who are empowered to lay
out the federal aid highway between
Milwaukee and Madison, will be held
at Jefferson next Friday, August II, at
p. m. An effort is being made to have
this highway built on what is known
as the northern route, passing through
OconomOwoc, Watertown, Waterloo,
and Sun Prairie to Madison.
Watertown and the other cities will
have men there to present the claims
of the people along the proposed route,
which is the highest in population, and
it is DESTROYS that all citizens who can
should be present at the hearing,
thereby evincing an interest in the
movement
Those having automobiles are re-
quested to carry their friends along,
while other auto owners who can are
requested to be at the corner of Main
and Third streets to carry those de-
sirous of going but who do not own
car. Others may go by rail at II
o'clock
This matter is of much Importance
to the people along this highway and
everyone who can should swell the at
tendance when the meeting is held.

STATE MERCHANTS MAY
ENTER INSURANCE FIELD

The Wisconsin Retail Grocers and
General Merchants association may
enter the field of fire insurance if a
suggestion by Alexander Jacobson Of
Milwaukee, state organizer, made at
Wausau is adopted.
Mr.. Jacobson spoke of similar plans
successfully carried out by lumber
men, churches and others and believed
this new feature would tend to cement
strongly the Wisconsin merchants.
The convention also was addressed
by John ]. Ryan, st. Paul, secretary of
the National Association of Retail Gro
GERS, who made a plea that President
Wilson's economy program be careful
ly followed by the merchants adopt
ing cooperative delivery plan, abol-
ishing unnecessary deliveries and
guard against unwise credit accounts.
He expressed the belief that the con-
troll of foodstuffs as planned by the
government will tend to cut the high
cost of living.

new BOOKING AT MAJESTIC
WILL START IN SEPTEMBER

Charles Seager, manager Of the Ma
jestic theatre, has made arrangements
to run Aircraft pictures IN September.
These pictures are known throughout
the United States, for Intolerance
and Birth of a Nation" from the pen
of David w. Griffith were produced by
this company.
The absorption by the Famous Play
ers-Lasky Corporation of Paramount

ly Aircraft Picture Corporation, has
welded into one organization the ii
tanic forces Of the motion picture in
dustry, and Mr.. Seager is to be con-
graduated upon being able to secure
for his theatre the best there is in the
way Of pictures.
Some of the we'll known artists who
will appear in plays here are Mary
Pickford, who is more vital to the sue
cess of motion picture theatre than
seats to sit in, Elsie Ferguson, one Of
the most beautiful and talented &C
tresses in the world, Douglas Fair
banks, whose name is synonymous
with capacity houses, William S. Hart,
who looks as if he just came out Of
the west and who rides a horse and
shoots a gun as though he knew how
This in short is but few of the many
we'll known artists who will appear
on the screen here in a short time.

REV. WILLIAM NOWACK
GIVES LECTURE ON CHINA

The lecture given Tuesday evening
in the Moravian church in Cole street
by the Rev. William Nowack, who for
the past eleven years has been a mis-
sionary in China, was attended by a
large number of people.
The Rev. Nowack spoke on the Diff
ficulties of travel in the f1owery king
dom and the obstacles encountered by
those of the white race in trying to
convert the people to christianity. He
illustrated by concrete examples sew
eral cases he has dealt with, Tonight
his subject will be What Prayer
Does" The lecture will be of more in
terest educationally than that Of last
evening for it will deal with the rela-
ton of morals to mans SOUL
Speaking of the difficulties of travel
in the interior of China, he said: "The
average tourist who rides on palatial
steamers to the Orient and visits the
coast towns which are connected by
one Of the finest railway systems in
the world, does not even dream what
experiences there are in store for those
WIZ IIdNcl luCO Tie INFERIOR. A rae In
a sedan carried by two coolies is a
luxury not often obtained, and the
next best mode of transportation is a
springless cart drawn by mule, over
roads which we here in the United
States would not travel. The presence
of robbers everywhere does not con-
tribute to ones peace of mind
Speaking of the Chinese as a race,
he told of their suspicious toward a
stranger and of the living conditions
existing at present. They live the
cheapest of any people in the world
A comparison may be drawn by the
fact that an average American with a
family can live in China on $50 year.
He has brought back from China
many quaint curios. The wood cary
ings in which the Chinese excel are
works of art. They are at present
drawing a great deal of attention in
the window of Carl F. Nowacks fur
niture establishment. There are cary
1ngs of water buffalos, used by the
Chinese to plow their rice fields, Jew
elry boxes, chopsticks and numerous
other articles that may be purchased
in the f1owery kingdom at cost of Is
to 20 cents an article, and which if
purchased here would cost several
dollars

WOMEN RAVEL
FROM MONTANA
RIDING PONIES
Mrs. Emma GrOll, Visiting At Home Of
Her Mother, Mrs. Fred Zipfel,
Made Trip Of 1000 Miles
With Daughter.

To cross the greater part of the
United States on horseback is quite a
a feat for men, When two women are
credited with such an accomplishment
it is worthy of mention Mrs. Emma
Groll, daughter Of Mrs. Fred Zipfel,
GIT North Church street, who is SO
years of age, and her daughter Gladys,
performed the feat, covering a dis
lance Of 1000 miles in sixty-eight days,
sleeping at the different ranches
through the west, sometimes out in
the open, and farther east, at the
farm homes of the ever obliging mid
die western people. According to Miss
Gladys, the farmers through this sec
ton of the country are just as oblig-
ing with accommodations as those in
the far west. They are at present Wis
iting at the home of Mrs. Fred Zipfel
They left Missoula, Montana on June
4, stopping at the great Pendelton
roundup at Miles City, Montana July
4, in which they took part, as both
then followed the renowned Yellow
stone trail to Minneapolis, and from
there came through Eau Claire, Tom
ah, Kilbourn, and reached Watertown
Sunday evening, riding from 10 o'clock
in the morning until Z o'clock in the
evening without anything to eat, in a
continual drizzle Of rain. They aver
aged thirty miles day on the trip.
1.-THE roads in Wisconsin are the
poorest of any of the states we have
passed through" said Miss Groll, when
asked concerning the relative merits
Of Wisconsin highways with those Of
other states.
"We started out with twenty dollars
and for this sum bought post card
photographs of ourselves and disposed
of them along the way, selling enough
to pay our expenses Of the trip, of
over $780," said Miss Groll
The travellers will leave for Chicago
on horseback in the near future, where
they will dispose Of their horses and
ride the cushions back home to the
golden west, the only place worth liv-
ing in," as Miss Groll has it.
