Popularity Of the A. and IM.
College.

As an evidence Of the popularity
Of the A. and NJ. college applica-
tons for rooms for students next
year have been coming in from all
parts of the state since the first of
January. Never in its history has
the work Of the college been more
completely systematized and per-
feet, and the results and discipline
more satisfactory. President Fos-
ter has given abundant evidence Of
his fitness and ability for the inn
portant duties of his office and the
friends Of the college are delighted
with his administration Of its af'
fairs and the manner in which he
looks after It's interests. The i'm
portance Of industrial education
and the superior advantages offered
by the A. and NJ. college are COM
ing in for more general recognition
everywhere, and the day is not far
distant when the attendance IT
this institution will be double tie
present number.
The approaching commencement
promises to be one Of unusual in.
terest, and will doubtless witness
the attendance Of many distin-
guished visitors. among whoa it
is hoped Gov. Savers and other
state officers will b. numbered.

A POOR MANS CONSOLATION.

Are both hung up 30 high,
That no rich robbers hand can stretch
And pull them from the sky.
II they hung low, have no doubt.
Some corporation ass
Would legislate to take them down,
And light the world with gass.
am thankful that the shining stars
Are far beyond our reach,
And that the rolling planets, too,
Are deaf to human speech.
II they were near, I'm very sure
Rich men would own the skies.
And manage the whole business,
BY private enterprise.
am thankful that the God Of all,
Whose laws we must obey.
Has changed his plan OF making man
BY shaping him from clay.
Ifhe had not, its very clear,
'Twould be a dolefu case,
Some man would form a big clay trust,
And stop the human race.

have followed the line and built
them homes. In the Aliai mining

Of surplus wheat was produced and
only 8 per cent of the available
agricultural lands have yet been
brought into cultivation. In the
fertile steppe country opened up
by the western section Of the rail-

As to Unused Tickets.

The recent decision in the coun-
ty court in this city on a suit for
damages, has brought out the rail-
road companies regarding the re-
demption Of unused tickets. The
court has held that where ticket
bears on its face the statement that
il will be redeemed, and that il is
penal ofiense to barter or sell it,
that an unused portion must be
redeemed, and this was in a case
where an excursion ticket, sold al
greatly reduced price, had been
presented for redemption. The
road refused, and a judgement Wa:
entered for the amount Of the pen
atty as prescribed by law. IL was
| in suit against the Houston and

Fe this morning forwarded posters
to be placed in the waiting rOom'
Of the Union depot, advising al
patrons of the road that hereafter
the company will redeem, only a

do not bear on the face the state
ment that they will be redeemed
That where the statement is print

redeemed that 1t will be DONE
