The amounts stated insure comfort and
health. BY rigid economy the total may
be reduced. Rooms may be obtained in the
village at about $3.50 to $3.50 per month
The price of board ranges from $3.50 to
$3.50. On application, the Registrar will
furnish a list of persons offering rooms

PECUNIARY AID.
The income of certain becuests to the
University affords eighty-four scholar
ships for meritorious students of slender
means There is, also, the Deems Fund
which provides loans for the very needy
who show unusual merit. Twelve prizes,
also, are offered in competition to stu
dents in the University.
The number of scholarships and loans is
limited, but they are given, without ref
erence to county or State lines, to stu
dents of talent, character and financial
need. These facts must be established by
testimonials. All applications for schol-
arships and loans must be filed in the
Presidents office before August Is.

The University, as a State institution,
is non -denominational. Though controlled
by no special sect, it recognizes religion
and morality as the basis of character.
The spirit of it's instruction and college

Roscoe Conkling's Resignation.

The only designations of United states
Senator's since the war, so far as am able
to ascertain, were those of Senator
Thomas c. Plat and Roscoe Conkling
(Reps.), of New York in 1881. The cause
of these designations was quarrel with
President Garfield on a question OF pat
ronage. Both Senator Conkling and Seha-
tor Platt took offense at the appointment
OF Judge Robertson as collector OF the
port of New York, charged the president
with bad faith in not previously consult
ing them and in violating his personal
n,edges. Though the President withdrew
ALI the New York nominations. except
Judge Robertson's, he pressed that, and
when he was confirmed Conkling and Platt
resigned and appealed to their people for
yindicaton by a reelection. In this,
however. they failed, Warner Miller and
Latham being chosen.

LABOR AND SELF HELP.
It is confidently believed that no insti-
tution offers wider opportunities for self
help to meritorious students ofwslender
means. The desire is that no worthy boy
however poor, shall ever be turned away
for lack of means. To such the Univer-
sity and town offer unusual opportunities
for support Many students are now work
ing their way through college by every
form of honorable labor. A number are
here as the result of money earned or
borrowed. Fifty are aided by loans, and
over nine hundred have received aid from
the University in loans and scholarships
in the past twenty years. A few students
are selected by the authorities as walters
at Commons. Otherwise all opportunities
though available in the college and town
must be secured by the personal effort OF
the individual They are not assigned by
the President.
THE COMING SESSION.

to be such men as will add prestige and

President Venable ought to feel the
highest qualification at the confidence re-
posed in him, and the growth and devel-

dency. He has shown that he is not only

ings, equipment and productive funds for
the support of instructions and aid to its
students.

University have been most marked during

A Blacks mith's story.

Goodland, Kans.. Dec. 2S.-N. E. Al
bertson, a local blacksmith, had almost
decided to give up his shop altogether
on account of Rheumatism which had
crippled him SO that at times he could
not use bis hammer.
His shoulders and arms were so sore
that he couldn't sleep at night. He
had suffered for years. but was gradu-
ally getting worse, till at last he had
about made up his mind to give up.
But just then he heard of some won
derful cures of Rheumatism by Dodd's
Kidney Pills and thought he would try
for a cure once more.
They cured him completely and he
has not trace OF Rheumatism left.
The shop will not be given up and Mr..
,Albertson may be seen there any day
hard at work as II nothing had ever
allied him.

AN UNCROWNED KING.
kREIGDEN ISLAND IN THE MISSOURI
HAS A MONARCH.
His Subjects Turbulent Set, but Conn.
pletely Under His Control Troubles
That Arise Are Settled In ! Primitive
but Effective Manner.

There are within the borders OF the
United States several localities at least
that. while they nominally constitute
part Of the whole nation, In reality
DOW to no law save that imposed by
the strongest Of the community. The
dominion pays not cent OF taxes to
any county or state, and no county or
state looks after the administration of
ITS affairs. The hunter, trapper, fisher
king does that.
All this has come about because the
Missouri river is always changing, and
the states in interest have in several
instances been unable to come to an
understanding regarding certain
changed tracts. 1t is these where the
Jurisdiction Is unclaimed that have be-
come the little monarchies within the
borders Of the republic.
Kreigden island, so called because

lying in the middle OF the river. halt
way between Nebraska City and st.
Joe. is one Of the biggest of the kind.
and the management is typical.
The island came into existence away
back in the early '7Os. and was covered
with squatters long before the ques-
ton Of state jurisdiction was raised.
At the first intimation of the intention
on the part Of some to establish state
authority, Kreigden took the leadership
Of the party that didn't want it, and
though his efforts may really have had
no effect In the matter, he thinks they
did, and he makes his fellows think so,
and for him that is sufficient. That is
what makes him king.
His kingdom is three miles long. ana
varies in width from hundred yards
to a little more than quarter Of a
mile. 1t would seem the management
OF such little spot. especially when
settled by only few dozens of peo-
pie, would be easy enough. But that
Is not SO, for when you come to I'M
derstand the conditions there is more
of interest
In the first place, these island folk
are the sort that try in other places
to get along without work; the shift
less man with a gun, a pack of dogs
and host of children and slovenly
wife. He is the type. Generally speak
ing, he has come to the island because
there was no very gentle regard for
him in the community in which he
lived. It might have been unjust to
accuse him Of stealing or some other
petty crime, but, generally, he was un-
der suspicion.
Under no circumstance will he ever

Thus it happens that the settlement Of
all troubles arising among them must
be settled among themselves. AS they
are not the sort of men who will get
along with republic, they have to
have a king. He is generally the
strongest of their kind, and he rules
them. He is their interpreter of right
and wrong, their judge of fact and
their counselor. II one-half his sub
jects are arrayed against the other
half and all Of them up in arms, he
must put shot cartridges into his own
gun and go out with the faction he
thinks best for him to lead.
Troubles that end in that sort of
thing frequently arise. Whatever is
done in the way of patching up the
troubles after the feud is settled, so
far as the community is concerned, is
done by the king. He declares who
shall contribute to the support of this
widow and of that child, and whatever
he says goes.
So far, Kreigden's title to his throne
and his kingdom is not in the least
danger. Three counties in as many
different states lay claim to the right
OF taxation, bur there is no way Of get
ting the matter settled, and 1t is alto
gether likely he will end his days there,
a king with country, but without a
crown, and one in fact, though sneered
at as q mere duck hunter, fisherman
and catcher of skunks.

China,s Elaborate Apology.

The letter Of apology recently sent
by tho Emperor Of China to the Ger
man Emperor Is described as an ex-
quisite work of art. 1t is painted on a
single piece of yellow silk over four
yards in length, and is beautifully il
lumined with dragons, flowers and
arabesques, embroidered in gold thread
and silk Of various colors. The work
is SO perfectly executed that at first
sight the embroidery is mistaken for
enamel. The letter is enclosed in q
yellow silk envelope, which is also
deliberately embroidered, and fastened
by ivory studs of the most ingenious
character.
