K. e. Freshmen Made Hector

Capt. Waters Says Morrill, Isn't
Fit to Govern.
OTHER STATE NEWS.
Daughter of Ben Simpson Mar
ried at LeavenwOrth.

LAWRENCE, May 2.-The May day cell
ebration at the state university was OBJ
served by the freshman class in fitting
style. It is an old custom, this of raising
d May pole and defending it on May
day. 1t has been observed for five years
at the university. The freshmen had
made elaborate arrangements for the
pole raising. At 3 o'clock in the morn
ing they marched in a body to the top of
the university hill With them were the
juniors, who aided them. The sopho-
mores and their aids, the seniors. were
also on the hill.
The freshm IN had an iron nole fifty
five feet la length which they were 60
ing to plant on the summit of Mount
Dread. Arriving at the top the fresh
men were met by the sophomores, who
took the pole away from them and de-
stroyed it by winding it around a teIe-
graph pole. They also captured a few
of the freshmen and tied them hand and
foot. Humphrey, a former West Point
cadet. was bound and carried about a
mile away to the old wind mill, where
he was left alone.
He managed after awhile to get loose
and return.
c. R. Troxel was bound and carried
over into the ravine.
The freshmen were not to be discour-
aged, so they hastily secured wooden
pole, and after hard struggle succeed
ed in planting it firmly in the ground
just across the driveway from the Spooner
library.
1t was only fifteen feet high, but it
meant just as much to them as if it had
been 100 feet
On the top was unfurled a bright red
flag. which meant defiance to all that
might come near
The faithful freshmen guarded the
pole from 4 o'clock in the morning till
9:15 o'clock.
The faculty warning seemed to have
had its effect, for there was not
nearly so much brutality as at the
celebration last year. An immense
crowd of students and citizens assem- bled
around the library to see the fun. When
a man arrived he was ordered bv the
freshmen to tip his hat to the pole. This
would be degrading to an upper class
man. When he refused, he was sur
rounded and taken over to the pole,
where he had to make a low bow to the
pole
Prof. Hector Cowan. the physical
director of the university, was snatched
from the crowd and carried to the pole
They made him kiss the pole, though it
had been smeared with tar.
The sophomores did not make any at
tempt to take down the pole, and all the
scrimmaging that took place was done
by small scouting" bands.
Most of the professors on arriving
would bow to the pole. This suited the
students and they cheered them.
At 9:15 a N. the freshmen pulled up
/ their pole and left the sacred spot"

OIL OF LEMON.
How 1t Is Extracted from the Fruit for
Commercial Purposes.

How 1t Is Extracted from the Fruit for
Commercial Purposes.
The oil is contained in the minute
cells in the yellow rind of the fruit,
and is removed by hand pressure,
hence the term 'hand pressed oil of
lemon The operator holds in the left
hand a sponge and in the right a sec
ton of the lemon peel, and, by dex-
trous pressure against the sponge, rup-
lures the oil cells; the sponge absorbs
the oil, and dish held in the lap pre-
vents any being lost When the sponge
has taken up enough of the oil to be
squeezed out, this is done, and the
process repeated over and over again.
The tediousness of the method will
be apparent when it is estimated that
about one thousand lemons are re-
quired for the production of a single
pound of oil. Oil of an inferior quality
is made by machine pressure, by distil-
lation, etc, but the principal bulk is
produced as described. The manufac-
ture of the oil is carried on very large
" by the peasants throughout Sicily.
Every proprietor of a lemon grove,
large or small, makes oil from the
small and irregular shaped fruit, and
sends the better class to market to be
shipped to the various parts of the
world.
Experiments within the last few
years have proved, however, as in the
case of oil of peppermint, that large
establishments, where great care is
taken to supervise the manufacture OF
the oil, turn out a much superior prod
uct to that of the small producer.
Of the adulteration of oil of lemon
nothing will be said in this article, ex-
cept that while enormous quantities OF
oil containing more or less adulteration
are being sold, yet an absolutely pure
oil can be had at a reasonable price, il
the confectioner is willing to pay that
but if he wants the cheapest he car
get, he must not expect the best What
has been said about oil of lemon will
apply to oil Of sweet orange. -Interna

MORE REVOLUTION.
Nicaragua in State of Foment Against
President Seelaya.

Nicaragua in State of FOment Against
President Seelaya.
NEW YORK, May Passengers of the
steamship Colombia which has reached
here from Colon, report that Nicaragua
is in foment over President
Seelaya's arbitrary rule. One pas
senger who proposes TO re-
turn to Nicaragua and therefore
does not wish TO have his name known,
says: "a revolution is preparing in
Nicaragua. Plans for Seelaya's over
throw are we'll under way, and when the
coffee crop is harvested there will be an
uprising throughout the country.
''Seelaya's policy in the Hatch expulsion
was outrageous. When Barrios returned
from his useless mission to England
President Seelaya kept secret from every
one the fact that the minister had
failed. Even when British warships
were moving towards CorintO, Seelaya
hoodwinked the people and derided the
report that the British intended to occu-
by the town. When the British warships
did arrive they were amazed.
"One of the presidents latest acts of
persecution, it is alleged, was the brutal
treatment of a son of x-President Sea-
vala at Granada. While SeavRla was at
the theater the place was surrounded by
soldiers. He was taken out, and while
his mother and wife stood by the SOL
diers first searched, then beat him"
Other parties say two agents of the
revolutionary party on their way tC
France were on the Colombia. They
also declared that the shipment of 100000
cartridges on the City of Para to Guate-
mala was significant in view of the
present situation in Nicaragua.

VOTING BY MACHINERY.
The Casting of the Ballot May Become Yet
More Mechanical

The Casting of the Ballot May Become Yet
More Mechanical.
ALLIANCE, Ohio, May 2-Wallace H.
Phelps, editor of the Daily Review, of
this city, has invented a machine which
keeps correct registry of the number
of votes cast at an election, gives the
number of votes which each candidate
has received as soon as the polls close,
and itself makes as many tally sheets as
are wanted with absolute correctness.
1t is very compact and simple, occupy
ing a case about 10 by 80 inches, and it is
not expensive to manufacture. The
voter by the use of this ma
chine is enabled to vote either
straight" or mixed" ticket, and only
q moment or two is required in voting.
If he votes a straight" ticket he touches
but single button; if mixed" ticket,
then button for each candidate for
whom he wishes to vote. The vote is
not cast finally, however, until one of the
judges of election touches a lever.
The machinery is securely locked I'M
til the judge of election permits its use,
and remains locked after the election is
over showing within itself the vote in
detail, as long as it may be desired. No
ballots are used with the machine. and
no counting out" is required But one
clerk will be necessary IN using the ma
chine, and within five minutes after the
polls close the vote of the precinct is
known and can be sent out.

TO FINISH STATE HOUSE.

Architect and Council Today are Talking
About Spending $500, 900 On It.
State Architect j. C. Holland is in
session this afternoon with the executive
council of which Gov. Morrill, is chair
man ex-oficio, in regard to the finishing
up of some of the rooms of the state
house.
There are of course about as many
plans in an obscure way as
there are members of the coun-
Gil, but this is certain at
least: The windows will be finished and
good large strong panes of glass put in
all of them. This will remove the un-
slightly brick colored boards that have
been an eye sore for SO long.
The governors new quarters are to be
IN the extreme southeast corner OF the
south wing. Their are two rooms now
in readiness. They are occupied by the
bank commissioner. Two more north of
them are to be fitted up and plastered
and added to the suite. The corridors
leading to them will also be finished up
and plastered. This is on the second
floor
The library rooms are to be on the
third floor but the arrangements about
them have not yet even been talked over.
In the corridor between the east and
the south wings there will likely be
double elevator, but if will only go to the
roof line. The talked of elevator to the
top of the dome has not yet been consid-
cred by the board and neither has the
finishing of the interior of the dome
The proposed new supreme court
room will be in the north wing, and that
is being talked about today.
The entire appropriation, $4,000 and
one-half mill tax ($2OO,0OO in alb will
be expended as soon as possible in the
best way to make the interior of the
state house more presentable and useful.

Killed is Alive and Well.

The Newton Boy Who Was Reported
Killed is Alive and Well.
NEWTON, May 2.-Young Gustin, who
was announced as having been killed at
Topeka yesterday, arrived home today
alive and we'll. The error made by the
Topeka authorities in telegraphing here
that the boy had been killed, was cur
ious one.
A young tramp riding on the train
with the two boys was killed. Young
Gustin was so frig htened at the accident
that he ran away, leaving Joe McCul :
Tough to explain matters to the authori-
ties. The boy was so excited that he
thought Gustin was the dead boy. as he
was not there, and so told the authori-
ties.
Later the uncle of Gustin found the
boy and telegraphed home that he had
him, and asked what should be done
with him 1t was taken for granted that it
was the corpse he had, and the relatives
of the boy expected him to be sent home
in coffin.
The boy was sent home today alive and
well.
