The planting pf the ivy was pretty ceremony and the touch of solemnity which is always felt at the different exercises was particularly noticeable when the memento was given place to endure with those left by classes in the parly '50s nnd by those of Inter times.

Adams, occurred at Library hall Sunday afternoon, the exercises beginning at 4 o'clock. The president took as his subject "The University for the State," and devoted himself almost entirely to the financial history of the university. He said it had been the early policy of this government to be liberal with institutions for higher education and, that early in the history of the uuion rich land grants had been mode for state institutions. First the land grants had been two townships, and later they were increased to four. Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa and Illinois, he declared, had "been beneficiaries of those land grants, and New York as well under later acts.

Two modes of disposing of this land had been adopted, ho said. The first, the Michigan method, was to hold the land until it acquired a marketable value, while the other was the immediate disposal of the property at any price which it would bring. Wisconsin, he declared, had adopted the latter method, and had even gone farther, and despite a direct prohibition to the contrary, had the funds derived from the sale of the lands for the oon- of university buildings, when iu accordance with the laws Con- press it wan expressly stated that the funds obtained from this source could be used only fur the support of the university. Two things, he stated, had operated to this action on the part of the the immediate needs of the university. and seco'nd a desire to attract immigration to Wisconsin by the sale of iis land at rates which would be an inilnivniiMit to settlers.

But these slops caused from the first, according to President Adams' statement, a loss, the immediate results from the sale of Wisconsin's lands having been only an. annual income of tstS.OUO. against $54.000 which accrued to Michigan, and the latter on a grunt which was only one-half of that given to Wisconsin. A similar course in regard to Inter land grants, together with the immediate, use of funds derived from them, lessened, according to Mr. Adams, the annual income of the university of and this was a debt which, ns a parent, the state owed to its child, the university.

The education of the people, he said, would result iu their froling this obligation and upon the graduating classes of the institution devolved the duty of this education. The state, lie said, htul been noble in paying bncl; part of this obligation nnd bad given to Wisconsin mii- buildings which were umniualed by those of any state university in "the I'niun. Good buildings, however, were not the sole essentials to an education, ami he declared that the present liberal iiI'liropriations to the institution by the Legislature must be kept if it maintained its present high standard of excel' To the state, lie said, belonged the uni- veiviiy nnd with the Legislature rested its future. If the debt which the state owed it should be paid. Mr.

Adams declared, the I'niversity of Wisconsin might be in Wisconsin what the universities of Oxford. Cambridge and Edinburgh are in Britain, what Berlin and Leipuic arc in Germany, and what lljirvim! is in Massachusetts. Wiseonsiners, he said, were a race desirous of an education. It had well been said, he declared, that the old world had given up its brawn to the new. and the West had drawn its strength from the East.

From New England had come such families as the Yilases. the Spoon- ors, the Camps, ami the Bryants, and from such families as these, as well (11 from the sturdy pioneers of the old country. tliTc came a demand for culture and DEATH OF THOMAS E. HTJDD An Ex-Congressman Who Had Taken a Prominent Part In State Politics. Green Bay.

June ilndd died at his home yesterday afternoon from a stroke of apoplexy! He has bi'ijp a prominent member of the Democratic party nil his life, and was one of the most influential Democrats in Northern Wisconsin. Thomas R. Hudd was born at Buffalo, X. 1. 1835.

AN OUTRAGE NEAR KENOSHA, He Had to Walk from Salem to Residents Arrested Kenosha, Wis, June The residents of Salem, sixteen miles west of here, are greatly excited over outrages perpetrated last evening. Wil liam De M.und boarded with Robert Sibley, a Knoe repairer.

Yesteroay he was notified by a young man to leave the town. He was warned that if he refused he would be tarred and feathered. He rcfnsed to go. About 11 o'clock a mob of fifty men went to the house and forcibly took De Mund therefrom. He was tarred jxnd feathered and then ridden oat of town on a pole.

He walked to this city, where lie had bis wounds dressed. He has sworn out warrants for the arrest of several men whom be recognized in the mob. Kenosha, June Excitement still runs high in Salem over the acts of the mob which' tarred and feathered William De Mund and carried him out of town on a rail. There is not only excitement, but a great deal of indignation is expressed over the affair because the law was not allowed to take its course if any crime had been com mitted. The citizens who were named in the warrants and charged with riot and unlawful assemblage were: Robert Sibley, husband of the woman alleged to have been wronged; Henry Hunter, Joseph Minnis, Henry Barnes, James Pease, Thomas Clark, George Hartwell and Fred Bonlden.

Sheriff Cropley left for Salem and made the arrests. The sheriff returned with the eight defendants this morning. They were taken before Justice Slater and bonds were fixed at $200 each. The preliminary examination was postponed until June 30. There were many citizens of Salem who accompanied the party to this city.

They say the sheriff has arrested the wrong men, claiming that the outrage was perpetrated by persons from across the state line in Illinois. This report is not given much credence as the line is seven miles from Salem. STRUCK FROM BEHIND. Thomas Bonn, a Fond do Lac County Man, Assaulted. Fond dn Lac, June cial.1—There is another case of mysterious assault in this county, but die chances are that it will develop into a case of murder.

Paris, June dispatch received her from Tunis this evening announces that a report is current there that tbe Marquis De Mores, well-known in New York and in the eastern part of the United States, has been killed south of Tripoli. It is added that all of De Mores' party, to the number of thirty- five were-massacred.

He was on his way, according to report, to the Soudan in order to enlist Arab chieftains against the British, The Marquis de Mores, who is reported to have met death in Tripoli, was well known in America. His career here was more picturesque and interesting than that of any other nobleman that ever visited America. Twelve or thirteen years ago he flashed upon society iu Xt'w York and captivated it with his odd and taking ways. At the same time he electrified Wall street and the great financiers of the East with his Caesar- like schemes. These schemes were of the futtire.

The boldest minds of finance and commerce recoiled upon themselves when the brave young marquis rolled out his maps. After having skyrocketed around America in almost every state from one ocean to the other, he plunged into Asia with scheme as big as the globe itself. It collapsed, but some one else inav carry is through some day. In 1880 young Mores, then aged 24, married Miss Marie Medora de Hoffman, daughter of a German gentleman who was a banker in Wall street. The father gave the marqms a present of on the wedding day.

Then the Frenchman went west. The wild, dare-devil life of the border fascinated him, and he bought a great cattle ranch and thousands of cattle. His business methods appalled his cattle king neighbors. A dead shot, ignorant of the meaning of the word fear, an ex-cavalry officer who had seen the roughest kind of life in Africa, he donned cowboy attire and desperadoes took off their hats to him. Of his infinite courage there was no doubt, but this need scarcely be said of him.

A few years later, when he fought with Capt Mayer of the French army, everybody said he would kill his man, and he did. As soon as he took hold of his ranch in Dakota he devised a scheme to wreck the cattle business in tbe West. Ho built great slaughter-houses and proceeded to kill his own cattle and sell the product at retail all over the country nt the uniform rate- of 4 cents a pound. Thus the choicest cuts sold for the same price as the poorest. This scheme was fought by the cowboys, who realized in it the death of their trade.

The cattle of the marqnis were killed and maimed by the hundreds. But Mores fought his enemies and they fled before his brave raids. In these raids his wife helped him. He taught her to ride the broncho, to use the pistol and the lariat, and she became infected with her husband's daring. The marquis used pistols in both hands and both bullets counted.

But beyond making himself a terror he accomplished little. After losing about $1,000,000. of his fortune he threw up his "outfit" and he and madame le marquise went to live in Paris. There he caught the Bonlanger fever, and worked for the "brave general" heart and soul. He ran for tha Chamber of Deputies, was challenged his opponent and shot him, not fatally.

Then the marqnis took his wife to Tonquin, China, and organized a company to build a railroad that would pierce the heart of Asia. He put his money into it by the hundred thousand, but never materialized. He Ihen returned to Paris, became an Anarchist and preached the doctrine of the jarty with such fanaticism that he was sent to jail for three months. This man fought in twenty dneU and rilled, moat of his men. Personally there are few handsomer men than was Mores.

He was five feet en inches in height, of a lithe, graceful igute, full of strength and agility. His eyes were brown, his hair coal black and lia skin bronzed by the sun of many climates. His wife's fortune and his own were.geparate. MURDERS HIS WIFE BT MISTAKE, Overjoyed Republican In Pennsylvania Perpetrates a Joke. When tho news that UeKlnley.

Cpham would not be a candidate for re-nomination was the principal topic of conversation in ail the offices of the capital today. Inquiry at the governor's office brought the information from Private Secretary Anderson that it is settled that Gov. Upham will not be a candidate. As to whether the governor would make a statement of his reasons for this determination, Mr. Anderson said it was uncertain; none would be made for some days, at any rate.

In the several departments the one question naturally-' uppermost in the minds of officials and employes was as to what changes this might work in the balance of the ticket. The general idea seemed to be that it would make no difference and that all would be renomi- nated. When asked for his opinion on the question, H. A. Taylor, editor of the State Journal, said: "I am in favor of the renoinination of the en.tire present force of state officers, after governor, on the first ballot or by acclamation, and believe it will be done." Secretary of State Casson is not in the citv, but there is little question as to his being a candidate for re-nomination.

It is known that for some time past friends of Mr. Casson have been urging him to be a candidate for governor the event of the retirement of Gov. Upham, but thus far he has given no indication of his assent to the proposition. State Treasurer Peterson, when asked regarding his candidacy said: "Yes. I am a candidate for renominatiou.

I do not intend to exert myself to secure the nomination, but if it comes to me I shall be glad to accept." Insurance Commissioner Fricke, when approached with the same question, said: "I don't believe that any man cun look for a renomination as a right. I think it is a courtesy which may be extended him for faithful performance of ofiicial duty. Yes, I should like to be reuoini- nated as an indorsement, and if the insurance commissioner. were nominated first nnd governor last, probably 1 could agree with Mr. Elliott that both could, come from Milwaukee.

I should naturally feel humiliated if I should be only a one-term I should like a renomihation ail the more because I am chairman of the eommission to revise the insurance laws and report to tbe neit Legislature. This been one of my most important duties and the effectiveness of the report would be greatly diminished if it should be presented to the Legislature at a time when I am out of office." State Superintendent Emery said: hile I do not wish to make a personal canvass, I am a candidate and should be glad to accept a renomination for the office of state superintendent." Attorney-General Mylrea and Railroad Commissioner Mi-Keuzie are out of the city, but it is known both are ready to accept a reuomination. In fact it ia understood that the state officers held a meeting a short time since and agreed, the governor excepted, that all would be candidates in the sense that they wouid accept the nominations if they came to them. Gov. Upham arrived here last evening from St.

Louis. Although he has made no public declaration relative to his candidacy, it is understood that he will do so in a very short time. In the meantime, there are nearly a half dozen names mentioned in connection with the nomination, including of Mr, Elliott, Scotii-M, Emil Biiensch, L. B. Ca swell and Congressman Babcock.

The latter stated in St. Louis last evening that he preferred to. in Congress. C. E.

Estahrook, ex-attorney general, is another who is talked of for the nomination. Mr. Estahrnok has lived in Milwaukee for the past few years and was for a time assistant city attorney.

The Ex-Senator States His Position In Regard to tiie Governorship. Oshkosh. Jane As was announced in a St. Louis special to the Wisconsin on Friday last, ex- Senator Sawyer positively declines to be a candidate for the governorship. In order to answer numerous appeals to him to make the run, and to make his position clear to the members of his party in all portions of the state, Mr.

today authorized the following statement for publication: "I am not a candidate for governor in any sense pf the word and I will go further than that and say that under no circumstances, as things now stand, cOnld I. accept the nomination. I appreciate beyond expression the honors the good people of the state have bestowed upon me," and nothing would please me more than the personal proffers of support given me, couched in kindest words of respect and esteem. I mnst say they have affected me as nothing has before. But in reply to all of them I now say that I feel that Wisconsin has already honored me more than ,1 deserve and that it would not be right for me even if I desired to ask any further distinction at her hands.

"I want to show now that I appreciate this and that I have a kind regard for all those friends who have so nobly stood bv me, so that I shall devote the remainder- of my time to repaying them as I am able for all they have done for me. If the party was in danger and it was thought by the majority of the leaders that" I owed it to the party to take the field, I might from a sense of duty, if health permitted, respond, but the party is not iu danger and there are many men who can make the canvass much better- than I could. Even under such conditions it would be very unwise for me to accept for I feel that my strength is greatly' inadequate to the strain of. a campaign. mnst be remembered that I am now an old man, and that if I am to continue to be of this world much longer I must keep clear of as much excitement and nervous strain as possible.

For these reasons, then, I authorize yon to say that I am not a candidate for governor and that I should be compelled to decline a nomination if tendered 'me." Awarded Highest NEWS PARAGRAPHS.
