The University Getting Into shape.

The university at Vermilion has re-
opened for the spring term with Il full
attendance. State Regent Brandt, who
was sent by the state board to make the
necessary arrangements for the contin-
uance of the school, made short adj
dress in the chapel. He stated that the
financial condition Of the school made it
necessary to cut expenses down as much
as possible, and hoped those concerned
would not have any hard feelings over
the resignation of some members of the
faculty that would have to be requested.
Three designations were called for
Prof. Kraft, principal of the norma! de-
partment, and Anna 3. Henges, the as
sistant, and Mary b. Allen, associate
professor of Greek. There is strong
talk of the discontinuance of the school,
but it is now hoped that this will not
happen.

THEY sUlclDED.
Two Pretty Women Get Tired OF LIZ.
Without Apparent Cause.

SANTA FE, N. NJ, April THE de-
tails of the Sunday tragedy at White
Oaks, New Mexico, only reached here to-
day, the affair being double suicide in
which two handsome young women,
formerly of Liberty, were the actors.
Some two years ago Miss Portia Hill
came from Liberty to serve as govcrness
in the family Of Mrs. Ellis. At the end
OF a year she married Mr. Howard Doyle,
brother of Mrs. Ellis, and a promi-
ncnt ranchman. On their bridal tour
they met an old friend of the bride,
Miss Jessie Ridgely, who replaced Mrs.
Doyle as governess in the ELS home.
Last Sunday Mrs. Doyle came on to
visit Miss Ridgely and the two were seen
in long conversation at various times
of the day and seemed to be avoiding the
other members of the family. In the
afternoon they went for a walk, and in
an old corral near by their dead bodies
were discovered an hour later. Over
each heart there was bullet hole.
They were clasped in each others arms,
and between them was a revolver. Nc
reason is known for the deed.
