STATE INSTITUTIONS EMBARRASSED.

TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 90 Representatives
of the state normal school. the agricul-
tural college and the university appeared
yesterday afternoon before the executive
board of the state government, and the
question of raising funds to carry on the
schools was considered. The inaction of
the legislature and the recent decision Of
the supreme court make it necessary for
these institutions to raise together between
$40, 900 and $50, 900 in order that the work
of the second school year may be carried
out. The regents of the schools can not
borrow money as officers, but they are
willing to raise the necessary funds as in
dividuals if money can be procured on
good terms. The state treasurer was in
structed to correspond with the state fiscal
agent at New York to find what security
and rate of interest will be asked.

The sun hastens off towards the equator
very rapidly throughout September, and on
the 23d-at 3.06 in the morning, to be exact
astronomical autumn begins. The sun rises
at 5.27 Sept, /, whereas it rose at 432 on the
corresponding day Of August. Its hour of
setting is 6.33 on Sept. 1, as against 735 on
the same day Of August. Cooler airs will be
in order henceforth. Venus, queen of the
heavens, passes closer to the moon, as we
view 1t. than does Mars, and the date of
her proximity to the brightest planet is only
one night later than that of her rival.
Jupiter remains brilliant as an evening
star throughout the month His brightest
time Of the year will occur on the evening
of the 9Th. Later in the month, and later
in the night, he approaches very near the
moon. and as the moon Is just then approach

be glorious one, In which Uranus and Nep-
tune will be seen In bright array, with Sat
urn glowing family. At midnight of Sept.
IL Mercury arrives at an inferior coDiunc-
ton with the sun, so that for time this
small planetary gem is lost to sight. Until
Oct. q Mercury belongs to the morning
stars. and he may be seen to the best advan-
tage just before the first October sun rises.
Saturn also passes over into the morning
stars Sept. IL, and we must bid her goodbye
until the bright nights OF the Christmas
period. The rings which encircle this planet
disappear Aug. o. The following day the
sun enters the constellation of Libra, and
then summer is over.

G. H. Nelson's Nelson Is no longer king of the
trotting stations. His young rival, Alerton, has
clipped Off the Maine horses fraction OF a second
and holds the worlds record. Williams, the
driver of Allerton, deserves his success. He does
not burden his sulky with fifty pounds extra
always done with judgment-he Is driver of
ability. G. II. Nelson has few, II any, of these
qualifications, and unless he allows some one else
to mount Nelson's Sulky the chances are that the
great Maine horse will return In the fall with
wilted laurels. 1t Is a pity. Meanwhile the trot-
ting association which reinstated @. H. Nelson has
no excuse now that Young Rolfe's son has been
beaten.-Boston Record.
The horse belongs to G. Il. Nelson, and if
that eccentric individual prefers to lose
races when he might win them 1t is the bus
mess Of no one but Nelson himself. Yet II
is matter Of much interest to Maine If the
energies of the great horse are misdirected
to such an extent as to cause the loss of the
worlds record Every farmer in Maine who
has colt with Nelson blood in its veins
finds his property less desirable If another
horse Is to take the record. A difference of
half second In the trotting of mile does
not necessarily mean any difference in the
real worth Of two horses but the one that
wins. although by luck 1t may be. has the
record and the fame which counts In his own
value and in the value of his progeny. Maine
farmers have gone into Nelson stock extern
sively in the last five years. and they are VI
