No other medicine for woman's ills

For more than 50 years It has been

petitioned to tske sn active part In the

The Elks are ambitious enough lo imagine
that they can surpass sit records In th!

essayed here. Upon the success of this

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.

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

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

two met through accident.

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

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." For sale by all drug-gists,
