Following the reading Of the letter there
was general handshak.ng and congratula-
ton. Some time ago a committee repre-
senting the trustees proposed 10 visit Mr..
Rockefeller for the purpose of comforting
with him regarding the needs of the uni

trip 10 the East would be unnecessary,
Gates 20 Chicago 10 represent him. To
the latter gentleman the trustees said
they needed ABOUT 600 TO place the
university in A position to do the work
that had originally been outlined for IT,
Mr.. Gates left the city to confer with Mr.,
Rockefeller. ana the announcement made
today was the first word that had been re-
ce'ved In Chicago regarding Mr.. Rookie

university trustees % acquire more land
for a campus. and also TO erect all the
buildings as originally planned.
Mr.. Rockefeller's generosity in past
years is we'll known. Not only was he its

There was little else talked of in the
city yesterday but the result of Satur-
days election. The friends Of the vic
torious A p A. ticket were jub.lant. and
the successful candidates were besieged
with callers. There was much specula-
ton as to what would ne the policy of the
new board. The defeated candidates took
the result good-naturedly, although they
were under the impression that they might
have received more votes had their well
wtshers made more of an effort TO get out
out 10 the polls. They claimed that
great wrong was done in not having more
than one polling place in the southern part
of the city.

public school system the greatest Of all
great American institutions and says he
viii not countenance any narrow minded
measures. He takes his election very
philcsophically, and says at no time did
he have any doubt as to the outcome. He
expressed surprise at the large vote given
Mrs Thomas and explained 1t by saying
her lady friends stood by her" Mr..
Wells makes the first member of the
school board ever elected from the Ninth
ward. While being interviewed he was
handed letter by a messenger boy sent
by Mr.. Chilberg asking him 10 be present
at "A meeting to be held today He an
swered it, and suggested that the meet
ing be postponed until Tuesday morning.
When asked what policy he would pursue
as a member Of the board, Mr.. Wells sad:
Il do not care 20 state at this time what
policy I shall follow, preferring TO look the
matter over thoroughly and confer with
my colleagues. This is a matter that takes
time and attention"
The Populists were disappointed when
the returns came in. as they confidently
expected to secure one if not two places
on the board. They We're, as expressed
by a prominent A. P A, like the man

October 3 says in an editorial: we OF
Alaska wish 10 say that there are no Nan-

chain Of mountains fronting the sea and

welcome 10 do so, so far as We OF Alaska
are concerned.
1T has been said that Alaska is the C'n-
derella Of the family union, and having al
ways been treated as such by the parent
government ana by the rest OF the family
as we'll, has come to the conclusion that
she is indeed the little despised creature.

and suffer the parental scorn. And 10 this
