Osivet. Mich. Oct 19.-Students at
Oliyet College hoisted a sheep to the
third floor OF the goods dormitory at
midnight last night and turned 1t loose
in the corridor with string of bells
and old cans around its neck. The
fril,htened animal raced up and down
the corridor, making racket that
awoke the goods, who came rushing
from their rooms in their night robes
AMI frightened nearly out of their wits.
In seeking to escape the sheep tum-
bled down two flights of stairs, the rat
Ting of the cans sounding not unlike
a stamp mill working overtime. The
frightened girls chased pell nell down
stairs shrieking and scrambling, their
cries adding to the terrific din.
,rhe dean of the women's department
and the matron of Shepherd Hall rushed
from their rooms and Intercepted the
bleating animal in the lower corridor.
They seized it around the neck and
dragged it struggling toward the door,
while some of the co-eds who had re-
covered from their fright made a flank
movement and assisted the disturber in
making its escape to the campus. where
1t scampered away in the darkness.
Then the co-eds were more composed
and soon returned to their slumbers.

With Aefors

Sioux City, Oct 19.-The glamour of
the stage proved SO strong an attraction
for two Sioux City girls that they have
left their homes to follow in the wake of
two dashing, handsome actors. who are
supposed to have been with the Grace
Hayward company.
Jessie Bernell and her friend were
living at Sixth and Court streets. with
ldrs Frank Bryson. sister of the
younger of the two. When the Grace
Hayward company played weeks en-
here the two girls attended
he performances and gazed With I'M
disguised admiration upon the models
.Of manly beauty who nightly walked
The boards Fate and Irritation brought
about an acquaintance and the two
young men were taken to the Bryson
nome. Mrs. Bryson demonstrated with
her sister, but a quarrel resulted and
the two girls left their home. presuma-
bly, with their two admirers.
Mrs. Bryson is greatly distressed over
the occurrence. Her sister is barely 16
and she thinks she has yielded to the in
fiuence Of her older companion.
The assistance of the police was re-
quested in bringing back the girl, who
Is not yet OF age. but this was refused
without the request of her parents.

Darwin theory of evolution and at the
time of Professor Tubbs' dismissal

FINGERS PULL TEETH.
Dentist Dlscards Forceps For Prim-
tive Method of Chinese.

Indianapolis. May 25.-Dr- Charles F.
Coughlin of the dental firm of Coughlin &
Wilson. has discarded his forceps in pull
Ing teeth and has conformed his practice
in such cases to the primitive rules of the
Chinese by using nothing except his
thumb and index finger. He says that the
forceps constitute the narrowing part of
tooth pulling. and that many nervous per-
sons are almost as greatly shocked at the
sight of the instrument as they would be
if. a cooked revolver were presented at
their heads. He declares that he can take
out the most firmly rooted double tooth in
a few seconds with his fingers
In pulling a tooth by hand, it is first
worked around with gentle motion. and
there is absolutely no violent Wrenching
or Juggling. In a surprisingly short time
the largest and mostly firmly rooted mo-
lar will show evidences of being loOsened.
The motion is then continued with an in
creased pressure outward from the pivot
tually TO come out Of its own accord. It
is brought out with final circular twist,
not more violent than the gentle working
which is REQUIRED to loosen it, and 1t is
all over before the patient realizes that
his tooth is being extracted.
I learned the process from 4 Chinese
practitioner who was man of culture
and very successful in the profession As
YOU know. it IS the method practiced by
that people from a time to which tradi-
ton does not even extend Our method
seems as crude and as barbarOuS to them
as theirs seems antiduated to us. In many
cases we are getting too far away from
and highly scientific way of going at
things -

New York. May 25.-The strange ex-

wife, who, although living in the same
house, never speak. do not eat together,
but dwell in a spirit of armed neutral
ity, was told in the supreme court be-
fore Justice Mclean yesterday. Mrs.
O'Brien, tired OF the situation. sued for
a limited divorce with alimony.
She has been married twenty years,
and is stin handsome and youthful Look

Justice Mclean expressed the opinion
that Mrs. o Brien had not shown cause

that he would appeal.
The court apparently took the ground
that while Mrs OsBrien's life was not a

WAR ON RAG TIME
Musicians in Convention Swat
the "COon" Melodies.

Denver, Col, May 25.-Breakers are
ahead for rag time" After five or
more years of frenzied popularity it has
been seized with the ailment of profess
sional disgust, and within a year it is
to be a thing of the misty past
Twenty thousand of the leading mu-
sicians of the country. including lead
ers of famous orchestras and bands,
have just planted hobnailed boots upon
these coon melodies and have sworn
with Mplifted hands that rag time
shall not find a place upon their pro
grammeS.
And why? Because, they say, rag
time" is .barbaric; that it is sapping the
foundation Of more lofty standards of
musical classics. In other words, the
old masters have been showed out OF
the musical box by the protruding tones
of some buck and wing dancer and
coon" singer.
CALL. IT A MUSICAL HASH
The average musician does not like
to define rag time, but he does not mind
expressing his opinion of it, as witness
these definitions given by Herr Joseph
Weber, president of the american Fed
Grafton of Musicians and leader OF a
fine aggregation in Cincinnati:
Musical hash, made of bad meat"

Lowest standard in the musical

The Federation Of Musicians at Den
yer passed a resolution by H. O. Vince
Ter of Kansas City, which it is hoped
viii be the death warrant of rag time
Here is the resolution:
Whereas, During the last five years
or N ore, there has been a deDlorable de-
cline in music, which has been caused
by the constant publication of a kind of
call a1
by the use and abuse of worthless and
in almost every case obscene negro rag
time songs; and,
whereas. BY the pressure brought
upon the musicians of this country by
the avaricious publishers of this I'M
musical rot, the better class of whole

some, clean, and instructive music has
been almost entirely laid aside in many
localities and.
Whereas. It is the duty and the aim
OF every true musician to do all IN MS
power to help create a demand on the
class OF music, by presenting the works
of reliable and recognized musical COM
pOsers, and,
Whereas, This is the only way in
which we, as musicians, can educate the
people to appreciate the works or the
great masters and to perpetuate their
wonderful masterpieces; therefore, be 1t
Resolved That it IS the sense or TINS
convention that the members OF the A
F. of NJ. shall henceforth make every
effort to suppress and to discourage the
playing and publishing Of such musical
trash as before mentioned by SUBSTITUTE
ing whenever and wherever possible the
works of recognized and competent
writer's and composers, thereby teaching
the general public to appreciate a
wholesome, decent, and intellectual class
Of music, and especially the works OF the
great masters"
MEANS DEGENERACY OF MUSIC.
President Weber in discussing the
thumpety-t humpety harmony said:
Rag time has put the standard of
music In this country to the lowest ebb-
Should we continue making this class
degeneracy of music in this country, 50
far as the standard is concerned. There
is an occasional meritoriouS rag time,
but there are 200 bad ones, to this one
good one. The public taste is becoming
spoiled It is the duty of the musician
to fix the musical standard and 1t is our
purpose, to eliminate rag time from that
standard. We have often tried to sup
press this hashy stuff, but no concerted
action has ever been taken until now
