THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
is IT TOO MUCH GOVERNED ?
A Card from Hon George L. Todd, one of
the Regents, in kepiy to Criticisms
on the Land Board, Alleging
Hostility Towards 1t.

JEFFERsoN, Dec. lS.-[Editor HER.
ALD.l-My attention has been called to
leading editorial under the above can
ton in the Austin Statesman of the
18th instant, and as the tone of said ar
ticle seems TO Indicate the existence OF a
hostile spirit ON the part of the land
board towards our state university. I
feel it not improper to ask the use of
your columns to eudeavOr to allay any
such apprehension, | speak oniy as M
individual member OF the board of rn-
gents, but believe al, the other mem
bers VIII concur with me in saving that
the individual members composing the
land board, have at all times evinced
the most friendly and lively interest in
the promotion of this great state enter
prise III the governor, who is the head
OF the board, has not been as enthusiasts
tic in his public utterances as some
Others, yet Knowing rs he has al along
our comparatively narrow and restricted
available resources, he is
only actuated by his well known
caution and prudence in keeping the
university on paying basis and free
from debt. Comptroller Swain, another
member Of The land board, has ever been
a strong friend TO the university, and
his ruling, made September 10, 1888, re
yoking the action of his predecessor and
holding the Interests of land notes to be
available fund, was OF great benefit 10
the board Of regents in the responsible
" then thrown upon II, of inauguraUing
the university ~ an active living insti-
tuition of learning.
TO Land Commissioner Walsh, also n
leading member of the land board, the
regents have often been indebted for
most valuable aid and information ron
dered AZ promptly as his limited clerical
force would permit.
While the land board has been YES ted
with the control of the uni
versitY, as well as the common
school lands, it was not done
at their insLance,and they would doubt
less all be glad to be relieved Of the
onerous and responsible duties attach
ing to their control. In fact, so far ms
they could, they have permitted the re-
genus TO employ competent surveyor,

1t is lamentable fact that within the

COLLHNSvII.LE.

A gang of burglars made raid in our village soon after midnight, on Sunday morning April 6. E. A. Hough's drug store was entered by the rear cellar door and the safe robbed of five hundred dol lars in money, watches, etc. Alfred Aliens clothing store in the same block was entered and one hundred dollars worth of silk handkerchiefs were taken. Two saloons were broken open and some money and segars were taken. At an other saloon they pried open rear door but were frightened away by the watch dog. The H. X c. W. depot was forced open and the stove turned over but nothing stolen. It seems evident that the work was not done by professionals and it is thought that the rogues will be found ont. It is thought that there were three of them. It was just 10 years ago this month, when the burglar Rice, alias Johnny Dobbs and his gang broke into the post office and savings bank in this place and also stole horse and carriage,
