Senator stanford wanted to Expel 200.


Stories are already beginning to come
from Leland Stanford, Jr.. university,
at Palo Alto. Last week about 200 stu
dents let Off the brakes of aat car
which was standing near the university,
and many Of them got aboard and start
ed down grade toward the station. In a
short time the car was spinning along at
lively rate, and the lads did not stop it
until it had reached Palo Alto. The car
was missing the following morning, and
q special engine had to be sent from San
Jose to haul it back.
Senator Stanford was wrathy when he
heard of the incident, and proposed TO
expel the ringleaders. II was discovered
that there were fully 200 boys engaged
in the affair, and the senator gave orders
that they should all be required TO leave.
The order would probably have been en-
forced but for Mrs. Stanford. She in
terceded for the youngsters, and excused
them by saying that it was only boyish
prank. She finally succeeded in inducing
Stanford to change his resolution. Cor.

proprietor and promising steady
stream Of outside money into the
arteries of Waco business. For this
small army of students is from abroad
as the students of Baylor or the stu.
dents of the Waco Female College
are. They come from all parts OF
Texas and not few from other states.
The writer is copversant with the
status and history of com mercial col
leges and regards Hills Business
College as phenomenal. There is
nothing, and never has been, within
his knowledge, anything like it in a
city of twenty thousand people. 1t is
simply prodigious and astonishing.
This marvellous growth and proportion
of commercial college in town OF
twenty thousand is susceptible of ex
PLANTATION. The proprietor is man
of eminent business qualifications.
He is ranked among the moneyed men
of the city and shrewd and farseeing
speculations in real estate ar evidence
of his business ability. When he fist
opened up the college here he built on
a solid foundation. Not content with
his then thorough acquaintance with
the business, he spent months in
travel, visiting all the great CONNER
cial colleges in the country from the
Atlantic to the Pacific coast. His
study of all the appliances of modern
commercial methods was thorough and
exhaustive and the school he formed
was an eclectic school, embracing
everything good without regard to ex-
pense. The result is that in this
great business college there is lacking
nothing that experience and money
has not applied to commercial educa-
ton. Hills Business College today
is the peer of any great commercial
colleges in any of the great cities from
California to New York in curriculum
and perhaps in number of students.
This article is written that people
may properly appreciate a great insti-
tuition which has grown up in our
midst almost as quietly and as unob.
served as the great crops grow in the
fields. Hills Business College is
prodigious success and fraught with
important consequences to the busi-
ness of the city.

Texas is reaping from the tour OF
the exhibit cars. Following is one OF
many extracts from the leading papers
in towns visited by Major Slosson
with the cars:
The Knoxville Daily Journal Jan.
4th, speaking Of the exhibit SAYS:
THE greatest agricultural exhibit,
and one viii ,h has carried off the
honors at several state fairs of several
states, is an immense nubbing of corn
measuring sixteen inches In circum-
ference with thirty.two rows of grains.
Several stalks of corn measuring six.
teen feet may be seen.
The distance to the first ear is ten
feet, and in this line is also to be no
ticed wheat Of which Texas soil yields
thirty to thirty-Ave bushels per acre,
oats, rye, barley and 122 varieties of
grains and grasses.
In the midst of these great rural
exhibits there stands out in fine form
q picture of some of the artesian wells
at Waco. There are twenty of these
wells at that point, with an average
depth of 1,S40 feet. Waco draws
from them daily supply of twenty.
FIVE million gallons of water. These
wells are said to have the same heal.
ing powers which have made Hot
Springs, Ark, so far,famed.
In the second car is an immense
collection of mineral, stone and wood
exhibits. Among the minerals are
samples of gold, silver, Zinc, iron, and
granite for building purposes. One
of the qualities exhibited can be mad
into pipes without the pig iron pro-
cess. The New Birmingham land and
iron company has contracted for a
supply OF the iron ore mentioned for
a year. They use it tor car wheel
iron with which they supply the Dick
son car-wheel works at Houston, Tex.
The wool exhibits are numerous
and varied, Texas having forty mil
lion acres of timber land in the esst.

changed the schedule on the various

Austin avenue 13 minutes between
cars, on the University Belt II min
utes between cars and on Padgitt
Park and North Sixth street II l-2
minutes between cars and on Wash.
ington street Is minutes between
cars. The average rate OF speed is
less than eight miles an hour, and in
trying to give perfect satisfaction the
company has found the old schedule
the most promising. This is call
ed the old schedule because it
was adopted when the company first
started it's electric service, and was
discontinued because of the complaint
that the cars we're running too fast.
A change to a slower speed brought
still more earnest protest and the
company decided to return to the
schedule first adopted.
The Washington street line which
was brought back into use about one
week ago, mention of which was made
in THE News at the time will be con-
tinued and as early as possible a
