The State Agricultural College.

The State Board Of Agriculture, at
its annual meeting held this month
Determined upon several matters looking
to the growth OF the Agricultural Coll
iege. Chief among these sdvances was
the vote 10 abandon the Preparatory
department after June, 1900. Not only
10 there question as TO whether the
statute clearly provides for the MAIN
tepance Of such department, but it is
evidently against the moral intent OF
the lsw for state institution to dupli.
cate work that is already done in every
part of the state.
The purpose Of the Board. announced
10 former bulletin, to give more atten-
ton 10 the future to the needs and
advantage OF the stock raiser in Colo
rado. xas put in concrete form by voting
a. 900 TO the Stock Committee for the
i,nmsdiate purchase OF specimens OF
several OF the highest grade types OF
cattle. This same purpose received
further emphasis in the re employm' Mt
OF Dr.. Glover as lecturer on veterinary
subjects for the following year.
Upder the conservative financial NAV
agement OF the Board, the tinauci !
condition of the institution was fount
to he thoroughly sound.
The Board also passed the following
resolution which those intereste / IN the
welfare OF Students will heartily endorse
no rlstier what their own views were
on tbe general.
ReoDlvei, That. notwithstanding the
fact that the Agricultural College is not
a political Institution. and that il does
not interfse with the religious and
political privileges OF its employees

pool OF blood. which showed that he was
badly wounded. The hunter trailed him
by the blood spots on the dead leaves

cess here and there to free and unlimited
phones and will eventually be sure to
cause friction between the subscriber and
the company, which is known to be not
averse to sporting subscribers for the
purpose of ascertaining the manner in
which the service is being used. There is
yet another feature of the proposition to be
noted. The company states in its adver-
tisement that mileage charges" the buga-
boo of the suburban resident. will be dis
pensed with excepting in few remote
sections of the city" Just what consti-
tutes remote section of the city" does
not appear. Yet the fact remains that 1t
is in these seif-same remote sections that
the need for telephones is greatest. Thus
the announcement is valueless to the very
classes that are today most seriously In
need of cheap and unlimited service. The
purposes of the offer are evident, but I'M
less Congress stultifies itself and declines

to his efforts that the National Museum was
created. thus giving to the city wonderful
collection of scientific specimens and a
great agency for the conduct of iuyestipa

rest upon the triumph achieved by him in

The authentic pictures now being pub

General Butler tackled the Beers and was
worsted give the first adequate idea at this
distance of the enormous difficulties that
confronted the English commander The
wonder is not that the Enghshman failed
but that he should have tried to carry such
places at all. 1t seems almost Ike madness
to have urged men up such steep and
rocky inclines against a hidden and in
trenched foe armed with the best of the
quick-firing rifles. But the men, at the
command, started up, and suffered, as one
can readily understand, severely. That the
whole attacking force was not in every in
stance completely annihilated was almost
a miracle The American military attache

probation Of the business of fighting.
We shall now witness the performances
of the two armies in changed circum-
stances. The Beers, while quick of move
ment and valiant of heart, yet carried no
places by assault while they were on Brit
ish soil. They sat down with strong
force before several towns, but succeeded
in entering none of them. The garrison at

surprised at the failure of the enemy to

Shortly, in all probability, the Beers will

as protracted as were the ones which have
just ended? VIII the English on the out

were? Or will they close in and grapple
with the Beers for an early termination of
the whole bloody business? General Butler

Shabby Treatment for Porto Rico.
From the Kansas CITY Star

To treat Porto Rico an object of char
ity Is mighty shabby return for the .,on-
ilding and joyful alacrity with which it
threw itself into the arms of rho JIni,aS
States 1t Is shameful play at phiIan-
thropy to extort taxes from Porto Rico and
then pay them back under the pretense- at
benevo1ence.
Congress says to Porto Rico: Here Is n
gift for you from your kind foster mother.
OF course you were first compelled to Yield
II up to her by force. but you should accent
1t with gratitude and with the comforting
assurance that ehastisement in this ease
means the deepest affection.
