1T is understood that the term EN-

We have not, SO far, heard word

from the health of the men in the

1T is barely possible that our SOL

Ames, Nov. 25.-The board of trustees
of the Iowa State College. who have
just closed their annual meeting here,
have agreed upon asking of the next
legislature the following things:
Additional support fund. ;. ....s 31,5O0

Purchase of pure bred stock for
farm department ;. ...... 10000
and one-tenth OF a mill tax levy for a
period of five years for buildings and
improvements. The additional support
fund has become imperative. for the
reason that the college funds, derived
from the sale of lands set aside by con-
gress for the purpose, are inadequate to
keep the institution up to its present
standard, and supply its growing
wants on account of the recent drop in
interest. Some of the college money is
even compelled to lie idle for the reason
that the law requires that it shall not
be loaned for less than per cent.

London, Nov. 25.-While Gen. Me-

were able to go home. At the coffin
there was fainting scene. A woman
about 20 years old, after gazing in the
face of the dead vice president, stood
at the coffin as though transfixed. Then
she screamed and fell forward into the
