FROM THE UNlVERS
I'm Interesting Talk by a Stu.
dent, Over the Long Die
lance Phone.

Hello, ia that the Transcript? All
right. I didn't think one could hear
everything so plainly over those
long-distance telephones. They are
great things. Ii they were only con-
nected with Buzzards Bay you
might find out how many ducks
Cleveland shot by the number Ut re-
ports Of his gun, even before the Of
fetal report cane in. We, at the
University, are waiting to hear the
first report in the war between Eng
land and Germany: and while we
wait, the daily routine Of work goes
on. The work begins ut $3.50 TN the
morning during the winter term and
at 8 O'Clock in the fall and spring
terms. The days work IL divided
into eight hours of fifty minutes
each with ten minutes intermission
between every two hours. The last
hour ends at 5:35 in the afternoon.
What was that you said? Girls?
Why certainly, there are almost as
many girls here as boys. We have
nearly $500 students now and almost
halt Of them are girls. They are
mostly in the scientific end literary
brances although there are several
In the medical department. No. We
don't have any foot ball now but
we still have lots of kicking; hockey
and basket ball fill up the program
now. and the side that loses does the
kicking.
The idea is prevalent that unlver-
'sity life is one long round OF drudE-
ery and hard work. 1t is true that
there is much hard work; that is
what ia expected OF one when one
comes here; but there is also great
deal of enjoyment attending life at
the University. There are literary
societies, many Of them; there are
clubs and fraternities; there are SO.
Gals and entertainments ofall kinds;
there are dances, parties and little
sociablc gatherings: and then there
are the little innocent (?) jokes In
which the freshmen boys (and girls,
too, often) find such pleasure.
All these diversions are quite SUI
f1cient to entertain one when not oc-
cupied in school work. Let no one
say that University life is nothing
but hard dreary work. Those who
have graduated say that their time
there was one of the pleasantest
periods of their lives. Some people
have TOO much fun and neglect their
duties but they speedily find it out at
the end of the term when they re-
ceive a notice telling them that they
failed to pass and have a "con" to
make up before entering upon their
next years work. No, sir. did not
find out all this by experience, but
by observation.
The rules are rather strict during
school hours, but once over, there is
no restriction put upon one. All ex-
cusable absences from whatever
cause must be made no outside of
the regular hours, at the convenience
of the teacher.
There is not so much class rivalry
as there used formerly to- be, al
though the freshmen are somewhat
disregarded, and the juniors carry
their heads high and gaze at the.
stars; and when they can't get near
enough to them in that way, they
employ the telescope to bring the

F. E. Cauley. OF the Interstate Mil
ling company, estim& tes that about
80 per cent If the marketable wheat
crop still remains in the hands of
farmers in Morrison county. Nearly
all the farmers still have some of
their wheat, and many Of those hav-
ing the largest crops have sold very
little. 1t is now believed that nearly
100000 bushels Of wheat will be
marketed in Morrison county from
the crop of 1895. Mr.. Cauley also ex-
presses belief that, notwithstanding
the low price, the wheat acreage will
increase here next season. Most
other crops have suffered as great a
decline in price as wheat, and some
of the crops would hardly bring re-
turns enough for marketing. not
counting the expense OF planting and
cultivatink them.

A warrant was issued Tuesday
evening for the arrest Of Paul and

River, on a charge Of poisoning dogs.
Ignatz Klyber is the complainant
and claims to have seen the Kunzas
administer the poison in a piece Of
meat to the dog, which died soon
after receiving it. The Kunzas have
been the source of considerable
trouble Of late years, and their
names have seldom been of the
court records for more than a. few
months at time since their resi-
dence in Morrison county. 1t was
thought at the time the old man
Kunza, father of Paul and Andrew,
was killed last spring that it would
end the trouble SO far as the Kunza
family was concerned. but they are
