cred aud carried weight. Some OF
the speakers showed a lack OF prepar.
alton and wandered from the subject
under discussion. The INDEPENDENT
would suggest in friendly
spirit that the young men assigned
to the debate make more preparation
il the future. Judge Dean. DR.. Moore
and Nj. Wilson ucted ID the judges
and gave a majority decision i'll favor
Of the affirmative.
Following the debate came Rev. John
Dawson who told Of Il trip through
Yellowstone park. Mr.. Dawson's lee
turs was very interesting and instruc-
tive. He told OF the many wonders of
the park and the beautiful sights no
lad seen. The lateness of the hour
prevented him from going fully into
his subject.
Tho reporter was much pleased
with the manner Ill which Miss Cora
Taber, as president, and Miss Minnie
Reckhart, As secretary, performed the
duties OF their positions. Both are
excellent officers.

To EstimHts the Weight Of CATTLE

The weight OF cattle can be esti-
mated by measurement. The girth
close behind the shoulder and the
length from the fore part
OF the shoulder blade along
the back to tho bone at the tail
which Is a vertical line with the but
took, should be measured in feet.
Multiply Ii square OF the girth. ex-
pressed i'll feet, by five times the
length and divide the product by 81.
The quotient is nearly the weight OF
the forequarters in imperial stones OF
ii pounds avordupois. In very fat
cattle the fo%requarters will be about
onc.twenticth mor and in very lean
animals about this same PROPORTION
less than the weight obtained by the
rule. Tie forequarters are a little
more than half the weight OF the liv
ing animal, tho skin Weighing about

this in anything like the same way that
success in college athletics or in college
journalism gives it? Does success in
the organizing of victory in debate
give DR.. Reynolds the same kind of
recognition which Mr.. ButterWorth re-
ceives from success in the organizing of
victory at football?
Even among those graduates who
profess to care much more for debating
than for football, how many Instructive
ly think Of the man who has changed
Yale's old record of forensic defeats into
q record of victories as having a dis
tinguished place among the benefactors
of the university? 1t is no disparage-
ment to Mr.. Butterworth to say that
Dr. Reynolds time, from the great
worlds standpoint, is much the more
valuable of the two"
Professor Hadley urges Yale gradu-
ates to help to change this condition
Of things, mot by talk of reviving
Brothers and Linonia, whose early re-
putation does not seem warranted and
whose last twenty years were years Of
senile degeneracy, not by giving prizes
for debating, not by offers Of assist
ance in coaching, but, having found
out that they themselves care more for
debating than athletics, by expressing
the fact, and recognizing fifty DIR. Ray
nolds and his work"
The Alumni Weekly, referring to Pro-
fessor Hadley's letter, emphasizes the
prizes and rewards given the debaters,
and says it rests with the veteran de-
baters to decide the future of debating
by entering or not entering the coming
debate against Princeton.

YALE FIELD ATHLETICS.
| Professor r. s. Woolsey of the Yale

which he says that the recent changes

of general college exercise in field
sports. He appeals for funds to the
amount of $1,000 to grade the unused
part of the field, which, he says, will
supply space for three football and two

DENT AND CREDIT.

Out west they are discussing speech
recently made at Sioux City by Lawyer
John c. Coombs Of Boston attacking
the existing system of debit and credit.
His idea, as enunciated in his speech, is
that all laws for the enforcement of
personal obligations for debt should be
abolished; that if credit is ever given, it
should be given on the business and the
assets of the business alone; that in the
event of a failure. the creditor, after
taking what there is of the assets,
should discharge the balance of his
claim and absolve the individual debtor
from further liability. In a word, he
would trust the business and not the in
dividual. 1t is an ingenious idea, but
it's adoption would undoubtedly involve
revolutionary consequences. Probably
it had better be reserved for purely aca-
demic purposes.-Boston Herald.

Is IT A TRIFLE?
That Common Trouble, Acid
Dyspepsia, or Sour Stomach.
Now Recognized as Cause of Serious
Disease.

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called
heartburn or sour stomach, is form
of indigestion resulting from fermenta-
ton of the food. The stomach being
too weak to promptly digest it, the food
remains until fermentation begins, fill
ing the stomach with gas and bitter,
sour, burning taste in the mouth is
often present. This condition soon be-
comes chronic, and being an everyday
occurrence is given but little attention.
Because dyspepsia is not Immediately
fatal many people do nothing for the
trouble
Within a recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. 1t is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
and IS now becoming rapidly used and
prescribed as a radical cure For every
form of dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold
by druggists everywhere at 50 cents per
package. 1t is prepared by the Stuart
Co, Marshall, Mich, and while it
promptly and effectually restores a Wig
orous digestion, at the same time is
perfectly harmless and will not injure
the most delicate stomach, but on the
contrary by giving perfect digestion
strengthens the stomach, improves the
appetite and makes life worth living.

through which he earned the soubriquet
of odd Money Bags" meets in Nevada
City young Phil Darlington, whom he
had rescued from drowning some
months before the beginning Of the
play, and between him and the peddlar
a strong friendship had sprung up.
Darlington insists that the Jew visit his
cabin near by and Moses accepts the
invitation. Moses becomes acquainted
with John Golden, guardian of PhiPs
affianced wife, and as Golden and his
partner, Giuseppe Duranti, have dis
posed of the mine and divided the pro-
ceeds, the peddler decides to buy Col
dens' cabin. Golden has concealed his
share of the mine proceeds while ar
ranging to return to his seastern home,
and when Moses arrives to take possess
sion of the cabin, he finds Golden in the

robbed of his papers by his partner.

Levi as the murderer and with the
the swiftness Of unconventional mining

dler only escaped lynching by the inter-
