WASHINGTON, D. G., Dec. 2,-It looks
tonight as though the speakcrship con.
test would within icw hours narrow
down between Mills and Crisp. Spring.
cr's Illinois delegation arc about to de-
scrt him. His state followers, after
looking the field over, have come to tho
conclusion that it is forlorn hope TO
support him further, and at least four
members OF the Illinois delegation,
Fithian, Wike, Newbury and Forman,
arc ready to support Mills ut any time
itNppcars that Crisp is getting uncom-
iortably near q majority. Tho four
members named will, it is stated, vote
ior Mills on tho first ballot il the Tcxaa
says the word. With home delcga-
ton in this sort OF mood Springer
should gee that no might as well throw
up the sponge. Several members OF tho
Iowa delegation who aro for Springer
on the first ballot have stated that they
will gladly vote for Mills il necessary to
elect him, and will do so on the first
ballot. They prefer Mills to any other
man except Springer, and rather than
hazard the Texans chances aud see
Crisp come up they will vote for the
Texan at the outset.
MILLS AGAINST TIE FIELD.
Strenuous efforts are being made now
to drive al! the candidates off tho field
except Mills and Crisp and let them
have n short, decisive battle. With the
Illinois delegation ready to 70 to pieces,
the contest is between Crisp and Mills.
One can get as many bets rs he wishes,
even money, on Mills agains. the field.
Nearly every one believes Mills will be
elected, and that he will be ancasy Win
ner. Crisp, however, has I lot OF de-
termined followers, and personally he
is the cleverest and most popular Of all
the aspirants. But he is out OF line on
the tariff question, and II the West or
Northwest, as reported, favor "swcep-
ing reductions OF the tariff. ii not abso-

say, it is strange how anv one can sup

Miss Matte Fickers presented her new
play, The Circus Qlecn," at Harper's
theatre last evening before fairly large
audience. Miss NIckers is always a well

new play can hardly be said to equal
either Of the other productions in which
she is so well known. In fact there is
nothing in it except what the comedienn c
gives it and 1t does not offer much of al
opportunity for that. The charming

all states in the union. and the fame of
the institution has reached as far as In

and many other prominent institutions of
learning. The students carry good
name and reputation wherever they go.
and the name of Rock I,laad as city of
learning is ever gaming strong footing.
Considering the rapid but sound devel-
opment of the past we entertain the
brightest hopes and expectations for the
future. Are we building air castles?
No! We base our statements on natural
consequences and the sound development
OF the past!
During the last week nearly all students
have been in the examiners mill. No
one has been spared. but now they have.
as we hope, all struggled through and
look forward TO q merry Christmas.
Several students, who have their homes

thunder. On the prairie was Il bunch
OF cattle which belonged to a man
named Corning. The terrific wind, or
what you might call n tornado lifted
tho cattle into the air some fifty feet
and dashed them into the trees, killing
them outright. Now, l am going to
tell You something that may seem in
credible, but is nevertheless the truth:
saw calf carried up into the clouds
md disappear. The animal went round
md rCuEd in circle until lost to view.
a vigilant search was made for tho
calf, but it has never been seen since.
The wind tore things up for Il mile or
