Til E It E S P E R I A N , II 90. Since the beet sugar factory nt Grand Island closed, II. 13. Duncanson has returned to the University and will take post-graduat: work in the chemical department. L. G. Thayer, formerly of '93, will return to school next term. At present he is in South D.kota working with a civil engineering corps on the 11. & M. rail road from HufTalo Gap to Dcadwood. W. E. Johnson, n student here several years, made himself- famous in Omaha during the recent campaign by pup lishing the Bumble Bee. Mr. Johnson visited Tin: Hes perian last Wednesday morning. He left later for Kansas City. Instructor Fulmcr brought with him from Grand Island a set of twelve specimens which will be placed in the laboratory for the use of students in the chemical dcpaitmcnt. The spec imens show the various stages through which the beets pass before they come out in the form of sugar. It is reported that Walter, alias "Tuskcy," Ilongland will bestow upon our so-called classic halls the priceless blessing of his effervescent presence, and that too in the near future, We have long wondered why the world seemed so sad and dreary, the weather so cloudy and foreboding, the University so dcttd and buried; but we sec it till now as in this moment of happy inspiration the thought comes to us that we have missed "Tusky." There is a wide and melancholy gap in our midst that was wont to be filled by the persistent and exuberant loquacity, the ceaseless and continuous verbosity of "Tusky." Come on "Tusky!" One of the students is in receipt of a letter from The Ilr.s I'ERIan's ex-chief, O. W. Fifer, now in attcmlcncc upon the Garret Biblical Institute at Kvauston, III., pursuing a course of study preparatory to entering the Methodist ministry. D. D. Forsyth is with him. "Fife" still loves the University as of old and says Northwestern is not what it is croaked up to be, they have no professor that can compare with our pro fessors of history, and in the department of rhetoric and ora tory they aic by no means ahead of us. In fact the boys, Dave" and "Pfifier," arc seriously thinking of returning here next year to take a post graduate course in Ecclesiastical history under Professor Howard. We hope they will do it. The many friends of Mr, J. S. Pcery will bo pleased to read the following, which we take from the Ogdcn Daily Commerciah 'The county court was in regular .session yesterday at the court house and broke the record. Its record has been a dead-lock over the election of a county superintendent of schoolb to fill n vacancy. This tied-up situation has lasted for about two months past. Hut the court (or board of super visors) brought up the question as usual yesterday, and Mr. Fred Foy, liberal member, sprung the name of Joseph Pecry, son of D. II. Peery, Sr., for the office. There did not seem to be any room for the Mormon members of the court to doilgs voting for young Pcery and so he was elected, While his father is one of the most wealthy and prominent Mormons of Utah this son is more than half liberal, and is withal a young man of excellent education, amiability, and has pro gressive ideas. His brother, D. II. Pecry, Jr., is a full fledged liberal. So the election of Joseph Pecry 13 at least a drawn battle as far as party advantage is concerned, especi ally as he owes his selection to the liberal members of the court."
