The occasion was a flag rush in which the sophomores suffered defeat at the hands of the combined forces of the freshman and preparatory depart ments.

 The supreme court of kansaroOs sat in solemn session Monday night of last week. They spent very pleasant evening during which some raw mate rial was tried and found guilty. Ob- serving their usual solemn rituals the erring ones were made acquainted with the mysteries of inside student life.
 Before assembly Friday morning Prof. Forbes of the experiment station gave a very instructive lecture on the present condition of range lands throughout the territory. He pictured the verdant appearance of the range lands during the late sixties, and fol- lowing the course of time, showed hoW' bv overstocking. the native grass was cut down and the ranges ruined. Prot. Forbes has originated an idea Whlch' if it proves successful, bids fair to re- establish the cattle industry and once more enthrone the cattle king in Ari- Zona He, with the assistance Of Dr. Griffiths, is now at work on plan 10 restock the desert land with natlNe grass and ascertain by experiments whether it would not be possible to restore the old state of abundance of range feed. They have enclosed an area of desert range land five miles south of Tucson and Dr. Gritfiths is now on a trip through the southern portion of Arizona collecting different varieties of native grass seed which they propose to plant within the en- closure and see If well tended and pro tected grass will not again flourish as in years gone by. If the experiment proves successful steps will be taken to procure legislation for the protec- tion of range land against the abuses to which it has been subjected. In an interview Prof. Forbes said that he hoped to arrive at some practicable means whereby old ranges could be re- stocked with grasses economically. He then hopes that proper legislation can be procured whereby range land will be considered in the same light as our great forest reserves and will be like wise protected.
 The second edition of Farmers Hints" issued by the experimental de- partment, is now under way and will be issued some time this month. This pamphlet is received semi-monthly by over twenty-five hundred farmers throughout the territory and can be had by applying to the experimental department. These pamphlets proved very successful last year and were ia great demand by farmers to whom they are of great value.

NO PRIVATE CAR FOR COCHRAN

The democrats have white elephant on their hands in the person of the Hon. Bourke Cochran, who travelled in a private car with his own cook, valet and private secretary when he made speeches for the goldbug ticket in 1896, and demands similar accommo- datfons while he is out on a stumping tour for the free silver ticket this time. MT. Croker. who does not like MT. Cochran, has declined to furnish a pri- Vate car. and says sarcastically that a freight train is good enough for him, but it is understood that MT. Cochran received assurances from the democra- tic managers at Chicago that they will take care of him in good shape. When he left Chicago he was accompanied by his cook, his valet and his steno- grapher.
 The managers of the republican campaign four years go could give the democrats some interesting informa- tiOn concerning their experience with MT Cochran. who not only required a private car, but often a special engine when he overslept himself and missed the regular train. He was also very
 particular concerning the halls he spoke in, and made as much trouble and required as much attention as a prima dOnna.-Chicago Record.

EULOGY OF c P. HUNTINGTON
The Rev. Charles H. Eaton Breaches
 on tue Late Millionaire.

At the church Of the Divine Pater- nity, Central park Wet and Seventy sixth street, yesterday, the Rev. Chas. H. Eaton preached a eulogistic sermon, taking for his subject The Making of a Millionaire. A Word of Appreciation of the Life and Character of Collis P. Huntington" He said:
 "The period from 1860 to 1875 was ,he most remarkable in the later history of the American republic. In that time 9 it is said. more wealth was won than Great Britain has had in the en- tire history of the kingdom. During this period one aof the most notable figures was Co,lis P. Huntington. for some time an attendant 2t this church. Our 1bliga lions to him as a church and my own personal friendship for him lead me to speak Ghis morning of the man I consider the greatest financier of this country.
 'The objects of capital in this coun- try are misunderstood by the people. A man of wealth is hated and cut off from all personal and direct associa- tion with our national political life, and debarred from our highest offices. C. P. Huntington was a man of like Passions with ourselves, and like temp tations. Errors of judgment, mistakes Of living were his as well as they are ours. He lad his struggles between the lower and the higher nature, his days of victory and dzf5at, but his life has a lesson for us all to learn to our supreme advantage. It stands as

ago the work of eXcavating and depostins

work has slowly progressed to the present
time and yet remains unfinished. For a
long time the west side has been left too
rough for travel from the deposit of broken
stone, which will, we hope. eventually be
covered with finer ground or crushed stone.
The delay was explained by reason of the
fact that this finely crushed stone was a
by-product of the crusher and was conSe-

Much of this material, however, has been
hauled recently west Of Rock creek and on
roads of minor Importance as compared

Mr.. and Mrs. George E. Baldwin and

Baldwin was serving as inspector Of i'm

that OF spontaneous combustion, there
was no fire in the house at the time except
that of an oil stove, and the fire broke out

MAINE CHASES VERMONT
REPUBLICAN PLURALITY WILL
PROBABLY BE 10000.
Mr.. Manley. State Committeeman,
Sums Up the Features of
the Victory.

To a representative Of the New YORK
Tribune at Lewiston, Me, Joseph IL. Man
lev of Augusta member of the republican
national committee and chairman of the re-
publican state committee, said in regard 10
the Maine election yesterday:
Il have just been able at this hour g
PM to make some first figures and COM
parsons of the returns. Three days ago
was of the belief that the republicans would
be doing well If they rolled up a majority
of $4,000 Early today l abandoned that
estimate for one of 10000. At this hour
estimate that the plurality will not be less
than 81 600, and l look to see it rise posi-
bly, to $4,000.
Il should say that the final result. would
be somewhere between those figures. we
may claim this as surprising republican
victory. IT assures a majority far above
the Maine normal. Speaking generally. re-
turns from towns that l have received
show an average republican falling off of
about Ii per cent. One of the state papers
got estimates a week ago from 100 of the
leading politicians OF Maine and struck an
average which prophesied a majority Of
"A $50 Based on such figures L unhesi-
tatingy declare my eminent satisfaction
with the result.
Fight on the Liquor Law.
The results OF the balloting revealed the
fact that never since the Australian ballot
has been operative in Maine has there been
such cutting of the ticket. In his own town
of Brunswick in Cumberland county, Des-
peaux. candidate for sheriff, lost 102 repub-
lican votes. but on the other hand. gained
sixty-eight from the democrats. In the
other towns of the county the same slash
ing without regard to party lines appears
to have been the rule. In fact Cumber-
land has afforded an interesting fight where
the principal issue was whether liquor shall
be allowed TO be sold the sale sup
pressed. Pearson, the democrat stood for
rigid enforcement. Despeaux announced
that If elected he should continue to carry
out the wishes Of the people; that is, keep
on the same way and allow liquor to be
sold by the present tolerant system, or, as
1t is termed, Bangor plan"
Two months ago II was not supposed that
SO large vote could have been rallied by
the enforcement people. 1t is explained
that the citizens of Portland and the voters
of Cumberland are tired of the present sys-
tenn of hypocritical liberation of the liquor
nuisance. They are bound to have either
strict enforcement or else high license, by
which Portland can receive the revenues
from the sale OF liquor licenses for the use
Of the city In municipal improvements. Un-
der the present law the money paid over by
the rum sellers in fines and operating as a
system Of low license goes to the county,
the bar rooms receive the benefits Of the
sums paid In. Returns from most Of the
Cumberland towns come In slowly. on ac-
count Of the difficulty in counting the much
split tickets.
Democratic Claims Not FulAlled.
The claims OF the democrats that they
