Barclay ilraniteville, Vt. "I was pasting throutrh thet'hMif.fof life and suffered I from nervousness andother annoying symptoms, and I ran truly sy that LrdiaE.Hnknam'f Vegetable Com pound has proved worth mountains of void to me, as tt restored my health and strength. I never forget to tell my friends what LydiafLPinkham's YcKt'tabw Compound has done for me during this trvlng period. Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffer, ing women I am willing to make my trouble public so you may publish this letter." Mhs. Cha. Barclay, H il ,Uranitevtlle, Vt. No other medicine for woman's ills has received such wide-spread and un qualified endorsement. 'o other med icine we know of has such a record of cures of female ills as has Lydia E. lnkham's Vegetable Compound- For more than 50 years It has been curing female complaints such as inflammation, ulceration, local weak nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache. Indigestion and nervous prostration, and it is unequalled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life.

HIGHMCRE getsthe asylum Fight Bill Is Btrennoas for Time, hat Weakens at the Close. PIERRE. 8. D.. Feb. 7.-(8pecial Tele gram.) The Highmore Inebriate asylum proposition won the first round today, when the senate passed the bill locating the cure retreat at that place, by a vote of to 1C A warm discussion was expected, but only came from Bates, who moved to amend by substituting the name of Dell Rapids, which wss defeated. In his talk he referred to Highmore a the home of Lieutenant Gov ernor Shober and to the editorials In re gards to the stalwarts, which appeared In Shober's paper In the lest campaign!' Norbeck, the artesian well man, went up tgainst the legal profession In the senate this afternoon and came out with flying colors on his bill to give the state the same number of challenges In criminal cases as are grsnted to the defense. The Judiciary committee had riddled the bill, but Norbeck secured a change back to the original fig ures and passed the bill. While a few senate members, with Thor son in the lead, opposed the good roads bill, after the hot air had vanished and a vote was secured, only four went on record against Its provisions. In ths house Frislie attempted to reverse an adverse Judiciary report on his bill to allow a three-fourths verdict In civil suits. The lawyers of the house opposed his mo tion, and won their point, killing the bill on report. The bill to protect fur bearing animals caused a tangle in the house because It contained In Its provision . the muskrat. Several of tha members from the Stoux and Jim river valleys were against the muskrat, and after several attempts to amend, the bill went back to committee to be doctored before It Is again brought out. The principal nsw bill today was tha new military code, which has been prepared by members of the National Guard.

SCHOOL AND COLLECE WORK Midwinter Activities and Develop ments in Various Institutions. EET0RM IN PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDY iBterrsta of tho Many Subordinated to Those mt tho Few Pern Normal Promoters Fare I era Stadeats Edacatloaal Notes. The annuel meetings of the Sigma XI society, the scientific organisation of the slate university, will he held February 11-13, at which addresses will be given by Prof. A. Q. Webater of Clark unlveralty, who. In a series of tslks will detail the progress made In physics and allied sciences. Frof. Webster Is one of the men who have attained prominence In his line of work and the occasion of the annual meeting of the society will be made the means of honoring his work. 8lgma XI Is a recognised feature of university de partment organizations and during the years It has been In existence In Nebrsska university It has brought to the capital city some of the leading men of science of this country. Short Course la Agrlcvltare, Prof. J. I McBrlen, head of the depart ment of university extension, returned ths last of the week from Hebron, where the second of the series of schools In agri culture wss given, the first having been held at Broken Bow. Thayer county sent a host of its cltlxens to attend tha session. There were stock Judging contests and lec tures on agricultural topics for tha man and for the women, Miss Kauffman, a graduate of the domestlo science school, gave an interesting series of lectures, which were listened to by J00 women. Mr. McBrlen finds that the university spirit permeates the entire state and no matter whether he gathering be for a farmers' Institute or corn show or for a little serious Instruction there is slways a good attend ance and genuine desire for betterment. The domestlo science school especially Is an attractive feature wherever it Is pre sented. No persons are more keenly alive to advancement In cooking methods than the women of Nebraska, Prof. McBrlen finds and he even believes the result is beginnlg to show In soms of the ho tels of Nebraska where he has stayed dur ing his numerous Journeying. "At one city I visited," said Mr. McBrlen, the proprietors of the leading hotel asked me bout the school of domestic science and was anxious that the short course be brought there." Enlargement of tho Camnas. The prospect of an enlarged campus from favorable action of the legislature Is creat ing genuine enthusiasm among the univer sity students who are looking forward to a new athletic field, with plenty of room for projected buildings. Action has already been taken by the city council to convey the streets that will be included in the nsw tract of land to the state tor purpose of the university, and when the appropria tion I available for two additional blocks of ground the walvcrsity authorities will be' reedy to take Immediate advantage of tho right of enlargement conferred. The ground it is proposed to add lies Im mediately north of toe campus, and Is at present occupied by houses, which will -be moved. Pjomoters of the Institution In the early days did not realise what a growing proposition the university would bo and did not figure that the proximity of tUa Institution to the railroad yards would sometime make it -difficult for certain sclentlfio observations In the laboratories, but this Is not a serious difficulty and may be made up for by deep foundations. The closeness of the school to the city is a grest convenience. Social Fea tares. Friday night the annual Junior "prom." wss held at the Lincoln hotel, and was one of the big soolety features of the week in the university. The event was conducted essentially for those who dance, but It was a class affair and novel feature of entertainment were pro vided for all. The university hss made such rapid growth that classes are so largo there Is no longer a pronounced feeling that certain cliques or factions hsv con trol of class affairs, and a class event Is a "classy" affair In which ail take decided interest. Whll there Is a pronounced line of demarcation between the "barb" and "frst" elements, they have come to the point where a class Is above all. For the first time since parting at grad uation J. 8. Dales, secretary of the univer sity, and Judgs J. H. Snell of Tacoma. Wash., comprising the first senior claas of ths University of Nebraska, met Wed nesday. The two spent an enjoyable hour with reminiscences of the old collets days. Judge Snell recently retired from the su preme bench of the slate of Washington after a remarkable record as Judge. The two met through accident. PERU NORMAL PROMOTERS. Aa Orgoalacd Movement for Trac Kdacatloaal Ideals. Ths large number of Inquiries from the alumni of the Peru (Neb.) Normal, and from various other sources, concerning the Normal Promoters' club, prompt this ex planation of the club, with Its purposes and membership.

PUBLIC SCHOOL STVDIES. A System Framed In the Interests of tho Minority. Dr. M. Bates Stephens, ststo sunerinten dent of public Instruction, sharply con demned In a public address the present system of public school studies, with par ticular reference to his own state, but which comprehend conditions common throughout the country. Dr. Stephens de clares that the time of 90 per cent of the pupils Is wanted by reaton of a cast Iron scheme of studies framed In the Interest of 10 per cent. The curriculum of the schools Is designed to prepnre all the pupils fir the high schools . and the graduates of the high schools for college. If all the pupils went through all the grades and then went to college the scheme of in struction would be, presumably, fairly sat isfactory. As a matter of fact, says the state superintendent, "but 10 per cent of the pupils In the sohools ever enter the high schools, and of these less than T per cent ever graduate. Of the graduates only a small percentage go to college." The Interest of the msny Is thus subordinated to that of the few, whereas "If there Is to be a bias." in making up the curriculum, "It should be In the direction of the 90 per cent who never go beyond the elementary grades." The requirements of the high schools should not, it Is held In effect, dominate the course of study In the ele mentary grades. The studies pursued In the grades attended by the great ma orlty should have more exclusive reference to the needs of the majority; they should embrace such topics as will be useful to those whose entire education 1s obtained In the elementary grades. Pupils, it Is contended, have equal rights, and It is un fair to sacrifice the education of SO per cent to the exigencies of 10 per cent of the pupil Parents who do not wish to pre pare their children for college, it Is sug gested, should have the ortion of schools better suited to their purposes. The effort to adapt the pupils to a symmetrical ab stract schema of ed loatlon, instead of adapting the scheme to the pupils, has nat urally produced unsatisfactory results. "It Is a deplorable fact," say Dr. Stephens, In view of these results, "that the high schools are feeders of the colleges." The high schools, It Is declared, should stand on their own bottom, and likewise the ele mentary schools. COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY. Facalty Changes and Extensions 1st the Medical Branches. The trustees of Columbia university have appointed Dr. William G, MacCallum, pro fessor of pathological physiology in the Johns Hopkins university, to be professor of pathology at Columbia In succession to Dr. T. Mitchell Prudden, who will retire from active service on July 1 next. Dr. MacCallum Is a graduate of the Uni versity of Toronto and of the Johns Hop kins Medical school. He is regarded as one of the very foremost Investigators and teachers In the field of pathology. The list of his original contributions to path ology Is not only long but remarkable, by reason of the extent of the field covered by Dr. MacCullum's studies during tho last ten years. At the same time the trustees have made provision for the development and extension of the department of bacteriology under Prof. Philip H. Hiss. Jr., and of the clinical pathology under Prof. Frances C. Wood. Increased attention will be paid by all of these departments to the needs tt advanmed atudents and investigators, as well ss to the Instruction given to students of medicine. A very thorough course on public health and sanitation lias been established at the medical school of Columbia university, and representative scholars and public health officers from all parts of the coun try are co-operating In the course. The lecturers Include Prof. Sedgwirk of the Massachusetts Institute, Prof. Adami COUOT REMEDY A MEDICINE OF REAL WORTH AND MERIT.

According to the records of the bureau of American republics at Washington, there are several thcusand students from Central and ftuth American countries In the col leges and technical schools of the United States. More and more the southern republics are awakening to the fact that much of their future prosperity must come through their great undeveloped natural resourrea which are to be taken over or diacovered and ex ploited by their own people. To tills end nearly every republic to the south of the United States In the western hemisphere has officially In this country from one to thirty students, whose expenses are met by their government, while the number of stu dents who study here of their own volition and at their own expense cannot be known, but Is estimated to be several thousand. Until the last few years the United State have not been more favored by these stu dents aa a country In which to seek knowl edge than many of the countries of Europe. Tt Is now asserted by those who have looked Into the subjeot that the United Btstes are getting the largest number of these stu dent because they find the colleges, indus trial and technical schools of this country, better adapted In their curriculum to the need of western countries. Undoubtedly, the endeavor of ths United Statea govern ment to establish better understanding with the republic to the south has done much to attract these students also. A compilation of Central and South Amer ican students now attending educational in stitutions in tho United Statea at the ex pense of their governments haa recently been made with the following results: Argentine Republic supports thirty stu dents In the United States, divided between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Cornell university. University of Pennsylvania, New York State university, Ohio Plato univer sity, Drexel Institute and the Chicago Vet erinary college. Bolivia, Braxll and Chile all have stu dents In this country maintained by the home government. Costa Rica, which claims more toachers than soldiers within Its borders, supports twenty-one students In the United States, located as follows: Pratt Institute, Tuft's college, Louisiana State university. South Bethlehem, Penn sylvania, Jefferson Medical college, Phila delphia; Harvard university of Pennsyl vania, Lehlnli, New York university, Bald win Locomotive works, Cornell and Gal veston hospital. A number of Cuban students are sup ported In the United States by the gov ernors of provinces, but none by the Cuban general government. The province of Havana has five such students at Cornell. The others are at Hampton, the University of West Virginia and elsewhere. Sixty eight Ecuadorans are studying In the United States, twenty-eight of whom are supported by the government. Mexico has fourteen government students In tho United States of whom eight are In New York and Boston. The other six are young army officers supported at Forts Riley and Leavenworth, Kansas, by the Department of War and Navy. Nicaragua has four students here; Panama, fifteen; Paraguay, nine, and Peru, eleven. UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME. Increasing Attendance Makes Ken Bnlldlaga s Necessity. The Increase In attendance has brought before the authorities the need of new resi dence hulls for the students. Accordingly the university council has authorised the expenditure of 1100,000 for the erection of a new building to be known as Walsh hall. It will provide accommodations for ITS stu dents. The new hall will have suites of tooms. composed of a study, a bed room and a bath for each student. From the point of view of Interior college elegance and comfort It will be one of the finest college dormitories1' In the country. A debate has been arranged with George town university of Washington, D. on the subject of the guaranty of bank de posits by federal legislation. Tha prelimin ary trials to determine who will represent the university began last week. Fifty-eight contestants will appear In the preliminar ies. In fifteen public debates Notre Dame has been defeated only once, several times defending both sides of the-question with different colleges. The debate this year will be held In Washington. A public reception by faculty and stu dents was given to the Very Rev. Gilbert Francals of Paris, who was president of an Important college in France. In his ad dress to the students he commented on the energy and vigor of the American na tion, declaring that this countiy will soon become the leader among the world pow ers. Preparations are making for a notable celebration of the Lincoln centenary on February 11 The principal address will be given by the newly elected United States senator from Indiana, tho Hon. U. F. Shively. Educational Nates. After forty-two years' service ss school superintendent thirty-four in Fitchburg Mass., -and eight in Manchester, N. H.. having reached the age of seventy, Joseph G. Edgerly has resigned from active labor to n the sunset period of his life "at play." Pi of. Sehofield has returned to Har vard university after spending the first half of his academic year lecturing In German universities. He says he always found the most attentive audiences, and he thinks much good Is oeing accom plished through the exchange of lec tures. . Chicago must spend 19.000,000 for school buildings. Within threw years that great amount of money muat be used In the im provement and enlargement of old build ings and tha erection of new ones. There Is a reason for It. The prealdent of the Board of duration glvea It In a few easily un derstood words. "Chicago shows a natural increase of 6,000 children of achool age every year." Forty-six modern schools are planned. Evidence of the practical value of Indus trial training In the public schools is afforded by the experience of Mias Rose A. Dowd with her grammar grade in Lowell, Maxs. Last winter she found that many of the children could not come to achuol because they did not have shoes to wear. The teachers had asked for gifts of clothing from the public, and received many shoes which needed mending, but which were not worth the usual expense for such repairs. Miss Dowd happened to know how to cobble shoes herself; and started a class aa a pari of the regular school work. The plan was a auoceaa from the start, and In addition to supplying the demand for shoes during the school year aha had nearly Sue pairs ready for wearers when the summer vacation be gan. Not only this, but three of the boys have guns Into business and have all they can do during their spare time. C. R. Kluger. the Jaweier, 100 Virginia Ave., Indianapolis, lnd., writes: "I was so weak from kidney trouble that I could hardly walk a hundred feet. Four bottles of Foley's Kidney Remedy cleared my com plexion, cured my backache and the irreg ularities disappeared and I can now attend to business every day, and recommend Foley' Kidney Remedy to all sufferers, as It eured me after the doctor and other remedies bad failed."
