DIR. Frazier Pleads Not Guilty.

The first steps toward the prOsecu-
ton of DR.. C. W. FralIer were taken at
Richmond, Ray county, the other day,
when the prisoner was taken before
Justice Inclusion to answer to the
charge of obtaining life insurance
money by false pretense. The charge
was preferred by A. S. Van Valken-
burg. representing the Kansas Mutual
Life association, of Topeka, Kas.
Thc charge, stripped of its legal YER
biage, recites that on the 18th of May,
1899, and on the goth day of February,
1893. the defendant, Fraker. obtfined
from the Mutual Life association two
policies of Insurance for s., 900 each,
and that on the 10th day of July, 1898,
he attempted to dcfraud the ~associa-
tion by pretending to lose his life by
drowning in the Missouri river.
Fraker pleaded not guilty to the
charge.
The state was not ready to go into
an examination. and By consent the
preliminary hearing was fixed for
Tuesday, September II. Fraker seems
content with his surroundings and
says he will be out on bail in a week.

MISSOURI A NEWS.
The State University.

The state university ut Columbia
opened a few days ago with the largest
first day enrolment in the history Of
the institution.
The university begins the year under almost
entirely new conditions. The coming term will
be a crucial period in the history OF The uniye--
sity. and much can be judged by the success OF
failure in the next nine months. In addition
to the new buildings, a number Of new deya-t-
ments have been established and new profess
sors appointed to fill the necessary chairs. One
of the most important Is the order Of physical
culture, which had been discussed for several
years. The students will now receive physical
rs well as intellectual training. and ell forms
Of athletics will be encouraged, both by the
faculty and curatOrS. The fixtures o! the gyIn-
nasium cost 81 400. The University Alumni
association will make q university exhibit at
the st Louis exposition: pictures OF all build
ings, specimen diplomas, catalogues, etc. are
TO be placed on exhibition.
The campus is being regarded. The quad
rangle will be regarded in dist shape. thus
apparently elevatirg the buildings and bring
Ing them into better view. The large mound
In the center Of the quadrangle will be cut
down 3 or feet. thus giving u bett r view Of
the main buildings from the front OF the cam-
pus.
The University annex. or Columbia academy,
which Is designed to prepare students for the
university, began the second year with 4 large
enrolment and bright prospects for the COM
ing wear.
Good crops and financial improvements have
plainly affected all the Columbia schools. and
the total number OF students enrolled in the
various institutions located there during the
Coming year Will doubtless exceed 2,OOL

The uniformed degree. which Is the
second degree in the Sons of st.
George, was organized in 1888, and 1t
now has about 10000 members in the
United States. John Walker, a Chica-
go millionaire, Is ITS major general, and
he Is devoting his fortune literally to
building up the order. The principal
features of the uniformed degree aside
from Its fraternalism, s.ie sick and fu-
neral benefits and insurance up to
$4,000. but these are optional with each
commandery. Butte commandery
starts of with membership of about

the arrival of Mr. Gibbs His work I'm
behalf of the second degree was warm
ly received, as Is evidenced by the
large membership with which the new
commandery starts off.
