The University of Pennsylvania has en-
barked upon an extensive scheme of pro-
viding assistance to students who give
promise of exceptional ability in some
speciality Twenty-seven new scholarships
and fellowship, of the aggregate value of
$13 200 have been founded. The Hector
Tyndale Fellowship in Physics has been in
existence some time, so that now there are
twenty eight scholarships and fellowships at
the disposal of meritorous men. The George
Leib Harrison Foundation, a fund of $780,
900, given to the institution last June by c..
c. Harrison, the provost of the university
is the source Of the money for this mag
nificent plan. The five senior fellowehips
are left open for assignment to any field
and will only be filled as students of special
promise appear. These are for the purpose
of introducing the German "docent" system
into Pennsylvania. The object is to retain
senior fellow and give him a little work
in the way Of teaching by which he may be
tested as to his efficiency.
Under the new system 1t will be possible
for man to continue studying for six years
at the university with the greater part of
his expenses provided for. The cause of
thorough scholarship in this country will
be materially promoted by this plan, and the
University of Pennsylvania will build up
class of specialists of the first rank Some
of the other larger universities have done
great deal in this line. Harvard and Colum-
ba probably are still ahead of Pennsylvania
in the encouragement which they give to
advanced work.

John w. Paul Rcncws His Efforts to
secure nm option on Property.
Negotiations have been pending between
John w. Paul and the stockholders of the
Union Driving park for several days for the
sale of the park to somebody for something,
both shrouded with piquant uncertainty. 1t
is known that Mr.. Paul has again became
very anxious to get an option for even thir "
dsys. although double that time was first
sought The price he wanted to pay was
81 900 an acre. So persistent was he that
meeting of the stockholders was called and
the proposition submitted. The Council
Bluffs members of the company were willing
to give the option, If Mr.. Paul would put up
a sufficient amount of money to make it an
object. The negotiations had reached point
where Paul was able to satisfy them of his
ability to do this, but the Omaha men were
not 30 favorably impressed with the plan.
When the matter reached a vote at the meet
ing called for the purpose, the Council Bluffs
men were outvoted, and the option was re-
fused.
Some OF the Council Bluffs stockholders say
that they were given positive evidence that
Paul had the money to pay for the option,
and that the sum demanded was large enough
to make 1t an object for the holders of the
option to buy the property to save the money
paid.
In the meantime Paul is going ahead
quietly perfecting his franchises on Unicn
avenue and Indian creek, and keeping his

Reason Given for the Burlington Of
GcinIs' Ride Over the o. 4 ST. L.

Reason Given for the Burlington Of
fcinis' Ride Over the o. Il st. l..
There has been great deal of newspaper
talk and considerable local interest felt in
the reports that the Burlington railway COM
pany has already secured or was about to
acquire title to the Omaha & st. Louis rail-
way, the short line branch of the old Wa
bash system running from Council Bluffs to
Pattonburg, Mo. Yesterday a statement was
given out by we'll known railroad man,
who has authority to speak, SO far as the
Burlington is concerned.
"The whole story was started" said he,
"by the simple fact that General Manager
Holdrege and other Burlington officials made
trip over the short line in their spec al
car few days ago. But the trip had moth
ing whatever to do with the short line, and
1t came about in this way: When the Bur-
lngton officials we.e reorganizing their
service and changing their division points
they found themselves, after the completion
of their tour of inspection, at a point on
one of ther branch lines down in Missouri.
They wanted to reach Council Bluffs and
Omaha with as little delay as possible and
concluded to run their special car over the
Omaha & st. Louis instead of retracing their
steps by str. king the main line at Creston or
Abba. telegram was sent to General
Manager Barnard in this city asking per-
mission to run the car over his l.ne to
Council Bluffs and also inviting him to join
the party. Permission was granted and the
invitation accepted, and the party had very
pleasant little trip over the short line. Many
stops we're naturally made and the con-
ditlon of the road was looked into, but the
party did not stop at Stansbury, where the
principal round houses are located and the
greater part OF the rolling stock is kept or
make any inquiry into the business affairs
of the road When the party reached this
city there was no examination made OF
the company's property here, but Mr.. Hold
rege's car was taken across the river at once.
This little trip over the read was the sole
source OF all the rumors that have been
afoat for the last few days concerning the
sale of the road to the Burlington. There
was absolutely nothing in ii to justify the
reports. but the story was generally re-
garded as true statement OF the facts
throughout Missouri, western Iowa and Ne
braska.
THE same rumor started and gave credit
to the report that the Burlington company,
which will be the principal BIDDER at the
sale Of the Humeston e. Shenandoah when
IL is sold under foreclosure proceedings to-
day, was only seeking to obtain control OF
II as a part Of the same plan."

A small cigar store. owned by Jack Whit
taker, on Middle Broadway, was closed
short .lme ago upon an attachment to satisfy
a judgment obtained by E. E. Hart, from
Justice Cooks court. When the constable
came to levy upon the stock, he found that
the bulk of the property was rep
resented by eighteec. game cocks
and FIVE bull dogs, peculiar
kind Of property with which Whitaker has
made a good part of his living. and consider
able money in times past A small stock Of
cigars and groceries was seized at the same
time, but the whole amount will not be
nearly sufficient to satisfy the judgment, un-
less the game cocks and the fighting dogs
bring fancy prices.
The transaction upon which the Judgment
is based, dates back to 1892, when Charles
Gregory signed a note with Whitaker. The
note was not paid, and while there has been
no question about Mr.. Gregory's financial
responsibility Whittakers creditors have felt
inclined to make his property go as far as
possible toward discharging the debt. The
dogs and the chickens will be sold tomor-

HAVE ADDED A BALCONY
Interior of the Auditorium Now Being
RemOdelcd

| Interior OF the Auditorium Now Beins
| RemodeIod
The interior of the Auditorium is un.
dergoing a great change. Heretofore
this large building has resembled ar
! immense barn as mucn az anything
else, but still the word auditorium fits
it better than opera house would. Al
the old building paper which was tackled
upon the walls is being removed and II
is being sealed with nicely dressed lum-
ber.. The greatest addition which has
been made is the gallery. This has been
in contemplation for a long time, and
Mr.. Charles Biting has been constantly
at work at the project, until now II
is being put in, and 1t is no egg shell af-
fair, either, but is built strong enough
to satisfy anyone. The large pillars
which support the balcony have been
in place for some time. SealSo have q
few Of the joists. but now they are all
in and a good strong balcony now ex-
lists, where before there was only a
place for it.
AS in the opera house. the best seats
now are in the front row of the bal
cony, the stage being much more easily
seen from there than from the ground
floor. This will be a rare position from
which TO observe the action of the dele
gates to large conventions, and when a
Democratic or Populist convention is in
session no fears of their damaging the
building need be entertained. 1t would
be oh so nice if the recent Democratic
convention OF Oklahoma could again
convene to re-enaet their performance
in the Auditorium; but alas it cannot
be.
t. H. =, Io~- 1eA
in the state, but now with the addi-
tions which have been put up it will
accommodate quite a number more.
The seating capacity was about 1,e00
with plenty of room left, and now 1t has
risen to about $500. with everyone hav-
ing plenty of room in which to stretch.
il the seats were arranged in the man
ner adopted by most opera houses, 1t
would accommodate quite a number
more than it will at present.
The building now has no peer in the
state which is anywhere near completed,
but over on the west side within the
walls of Garfield university stands a
hall which, were 1t completed. would
surpasS it by very narrow margin.
Hardly any one not acquainted with
the building are aware of the magni-
tude of this hall. and not only this but
the entire building. 1t is earnestly TO
be hoped that this magnificent building
may be in use again soon in the ca
pacity of a university for which pur-
pose it was built.
The management of the auditorium
are already Fastening the work of re-
modelling, as their first attraction
will appear some time next week, and
everything must be in apple-pie order
by that time. The balcony will also
greatly enhance the acoustic properties
of the building which have been some
trouble heretofore on account Of the
height of the room, but when the stage
is built out TO the west this VIII be en-
tirely overcome IL the presence OF the
gallery does not entirely remedy the de-
feet

CELEBRATED GERMAN DAY
German Americans Hold Bigh Carnival q
st. Marks Tuesday

Tuesday was one OF the greatest days
n the year among Germon Americans
The day was the anniversary of the land
Ing of the first German settlers upon
these shores. and this was only a few
years after the discovery of the West
srn Hemisphere by Columbus. 1t will
be remembered by not a few that the
two hundredJh anniversary was cele-
brated all over the United States two
Or three years ago by German Ameri-
cans and the celebration was upon a
very large scale, far SURPRISING any
thing OF the kind observed by the Ger
man people heretofore.
This day has bene observed and cele-
brated more assfduously since that time
than II ever was before, and whenever
the fifth Of October rolls around in fu-
ture years. those who still are among
the living will see the day observed in
much the same manner as was last
Tuesday.
The celebration for this locality was
centered at st. Marks, sixteen miles
northwest OF this city Early in the
morning the crowd which assembled be-
gan TO gather and by IL o'clock the
little village had taken upon herself
thorough metropolitan aims. There were
people everywhere about the place, al
looking supremely happy as they al
ways do whenever they gather for a
Publication. The older German farmers
brought their wives, sons and daught-
ers, and also his hired man Teh men
OF other callings than that of husbandry
were also there with their families.
But some of the older members of the
younger generation preferred to go on
their own responsibility and consa-
quently numerous young fellows with
their round. rosy checked maidens were
10 be seen all through the crowd
OF course A program was laid out for
She day, and it was carried out as near
as was practicable. Ex-Governor
LewelliSg made an address as did also
Sam Anidon. Now these two gentle
men were not the only speakers by any
means. but OF course they left ala traces
of politics at home, in much the same
manner as the farmers left the traces
OF their harness at home.
During the day, baseball was indul-
ged in and a very interesting game was
witnessed by those who looked on, and
enjoyed by those who played. Follow
ing the ball game several races were
run between some OF the flyers of the
locality who stirred the dust in excel |
lent style
After the other exircises of the day
were over, including dinner, the hall |
was thrown open about o'clock and |
was iuemdiately filed TO OVERLOOKING.
