A Change.

AT meeting of the faculty of the
university change was proposed in
the curriculum which, if adopted, will
revolutionize the whole system of uni
versity work. The amendment was
offered by Professor Woodbridge, and
recommends the introduction of the
semester plan, which prevails so gen.
orally throughout eastern colleges.
Along with this change is proposed
the adjustment of all degrees except
that of bachelor of arts, this to be con-
ferred upon students who have COM
pleted forty-eight four-hour subjects
during their course. If the proposed
plan is adopted, instead of the first
two years being required work, the
four years. course will be divided into
forty-eight term subjects, of which
twenty-four will be compulsory, to be
taken, however, any time during the
four years, and the other twenty-four
to be elective. as at present.
The matter was turned over to the
committee on curriculum, consisting
of Professors Nachtrieb, Jones, Dow
ney, Woodbridge, Hale, Hutchinson
and Clark.

st. Paul, March 29.-The greatest
fight of the session terminated in the
house yesterday by the passage of the
bill increasing the tax on railroad gross
earnings from to 4 per cent by vote
of 70 to SO. This bill was supposed to
be irretrievably dead last week, but its
friends shrewdly resurrected it, and
when it@was reached on it's merits the
members did not dare to vote against it.
The house committee on public build
ings reported out the capitol bill giving
a million dollars to the new capitol,
with the recommendation that it pass.
There will be no opposition to it in the
house, and it has already passed the
senate

prisoners at Saltwater corresponding

release.
The senate yesterday thought better
of including the state officers, congress
sional and judicial candidates in the
primary election law, and reconsidered
the amendment adopted Thursday
placing those positions under the law.
The bill was then made the special or
der for next Tuesday.

FERReLL PAYS THE PENALTY.
Murderer of Express Messenger

Murderer of Express Messenger
Lane is Electrocuted.
With no diminution of the wonderful
nerve that has been characteristic of the
man since the time of his apprehension for
the premeditated murder of Express Mes
senger Charles Lane last August, Ross
lyn Ferrell, at 1906 last Friday morning,
walked calmly to the electric chair of the
Ohio penitentiary at Columbus and en-
plated his crime.
Up until 1880 Thursday evening Ferrell
was in company with three brothers in his
room at the penitentiary. At that time
the brothers were asked to retire and Rev.
Fathers O'Reilly and Kelly entered the
room and remained with the condemned
man until he was pronounced dead. They
administered the sacraments in the early
part of the evening, and the rites had
scarcely been concluded until Ferrell pro-
posed a game of checkers with one of the
clergymen. firing of this after time, he
played his guitar and sang until he was
summoned to the death chamber. lie
walked into the room as calmly as if he
were merely spectator. Ills face did not
change color, and his steps were strong
and resolute. lie sat down in the electric
chair at 1906. lie was asked if he had
any last messages and replied i'll voice
full of strength and without tremor, 81
have nothing to say"
The officials made the last preparations,
the fatal current was turned on, and at
1909 he was declared dead.

George Ward, the negro who murdered
Miss Ida Finkelstein, the school teacher,
near Terre Haute, Ind, was placed I'M

shortly before 1 o'clock was taken out by
mob. dragged face downward to the
banks of the Wabash, only two sluares
away, ut the wagon bridge at the foot!
of the main street of the city, thence to-
the draw, and hanged from beam more
dead than alive Then his body was cut
down and tumblcd off the bridge on the
west bank of the river and a fire built,
ON which he was burned. For two hours.
the crowd came and went in thousands,
while few hundred gathered close to
the fire and renewed it us it died down
with Oil and crates from Il nearby poultry
house. The hat was passed around sew
eral times for money to buy oil. Some OF
the bridge Notwithstanding was torn on
for fuel. No effort was made by the au-
thorities to stop the inhuman conduct,
and so far as appearances went it was
simply big bonfire, watched idly by a
great number Of people. The lyachers
were not disguised.
When the crowd near the fire tired OF
renewing it after two hours it was seen
that the victims feet were not burned.
Some one called an offer of dollar for
one of the toes, and u boy quickly took
out his knife and cut off toe. The offer
was followed by others, and the horrible
traffic was continued, youths holding up
toes and asking for bids.
Wards arrest was brought about by his
neighbor. who. having read in the morn

there the police found him. He denied
everything. and told story of his where

badly cut. He said the wound was made
in climbing II barbcdwire fence. AT po-
lice headquarters he was searched, and
few dollars found in his pockets. The
first story told was that he had robbed
Miss Finkelstein of So, but her money
was found where the struggle took place
in the woods east of the city, along the
path she took from her country school.
After time at headquarters Ward con-
fessed to Sheriff Fasig. He said:
II was out hunting and while walking
just north of the golf grounds met a
young lady. / was walking behind her

to walk behind her, but to walk in front

Negro Miner Is Hanged for K,.,os
White Man.

Dewey Smith, a negro miner, who Sum
day shot and killed Chester Stanley, a
white miner, near iichmond, Mo-, was
captured and taken back to the scene of
his crime. He was hung to a tree close to
the railroad track.
Stanley and Smith quarreled over a
trivial matter, which resulted in the shoot
ing of Stanley. The negro escaped, but
was captured by two men, who turned
him over to the sheriff. A large crowd
made rush on the hotel where the negro
was confined and took him away from the
sheriff, proceeding to the scene of the
shooting, where they hung the negro after
he confessed to the killing. The negro
claimed he shot in self defense. Bad feel
ing has existed for some time between the
negroes and whites, and more trouble is
feared.

LIKE A FAIRY's DREAM.
Inauguration Ball a Scene of Wonder
and GRANDEUR.

Inauguration Ball a Scene of Wonder
and GRANDEUR.
Democratic pomp reached its dazzling
climax at the Inauguration ball. Such
scenes of magnifcence are beheld rather
less than once lifetime, and then are
generally conjured up by the magic Of
fairy tale. Its splendors shamed the su-
perlatives of admiration as weak, beggar-
ly and worthless. Its trappings were
worthy the munifcent efforts of those
omnipotent genii who transform bubbles
into diamonds with breath.
This ball-which is not ball, by the
way; only grand spectacle on the most
extravagant of scales-dimmed the glo-
ries Of all its predecessors. It was the
dream Of thousands crystallized into life
and light, color and rhythm. It filed
many fair woman's cup of ambition
brimming full and running over. 1t dow
cred many blameless man with a hap
py, ever-present boast for all his remain
ing days.
The scene of these splendors was the
great pension building, which is generous
enough to encompass city; square and
tall enough to swallow sky scraper.
In its center is court large enough to
hold a church, spire and all, and the court
is surrounded by endless colonnades ris-
ing tier above tier.
This hall, with gigantic proportions be-
fitting the great republic, was draped
with wilderness Of flowers and greens
and flags and gay stuffs, and the whole
flooded with the dazzling radiance of O
myriad Of electric lights. The walls Of
the court were hidden under endless
stretches Of white draperies, spalshed
with golden cloths in sweeping loops and
graceful circles.
On this background Of white and gold.
labor had spread the wealth of the world
Of fora. Southern ivy ran riot In deli
cate traceries. Evergreen ropes circled
the hall in curving pendants. Palms Of
many kinds reared their fronded heads In
lofty pride above ferns. bays and lesser
plants. while genestas lent their yellow
blossoms and spyrea japonicas their
white plunss to tn maze Of color.
