st. Cloud, Mimi, Oct. 11.-Following is
the letter of resignation of Resident .Di-

school board
State Normal School, w. B. Mitchell, Resi-
dent Director and Treasurer, ST. Cloud, Mimi,
Oct. 5, 1901.-Governor Samuel r. Van SAINT
st. Paul, Minn.-Dear Sir: l would respect
fully beg leave herewith to tender my resigna-
tion as a member of the board Of directors Of
the state normal schools.
All efforts at a satisfactory adjustment of
the differences between the state normal
board and the board Of control of state in
stitutiOns having proved fruitess by rea-
of the demands of the latter board to
extend its control beyond the legitimate
sphere of the financial affairs Of the normal
schools to those affecting the course Of study
and others having only an educational rela-
tion, | am not willing to continue to bear a
responsibility which carries with it no right
of judgment.
The attitude of the board Of control has
been narrow, illogical, unjust and overbaar-
ing, its agreements have been violated and
its demands have been Illegal; but as it
has the power to throttle the normal schools
unless there is complete submission to its
demands, 1 prefer to step out rather than
make the surrender required or emDarrass the
institution with which have been most
directly ected.
Thanking you for the honor of the appoint
ment as member of the normal board,
which when unembarrassed has proved itself
one of the most useful of the boards of the
state and for the uniform kindness and
consideration received from you, l am very
respectfully yours, W. y. Mitchell.

WASSHE MURDERED?
Death of Miss Pelton at Dodge Cen
ter Investigated
c. c. HARTLEY HELD FOR MURDER
Robbery Said to Have Been His Mo-
tive-Indfcted at MantOrviIIe
In First Degree.

Special to The Journal.
Rochester, Mimi. Oct. 1.-THE grand
Jury. of Dodge county, sitting at Mantor-
Vile, has indicted Charles G. Hartley, OF
Dodge Center, for murder in the first de-
gree. Hartley pleaded not guilty and will
be tried at Mantorville. AS Dodge county
is without a safe jail. he will be kept In
the Jail in this county.
Hartley has been proprietor Of the
Dodge Center Transfer house which was
destroyed by fire one night last June. On
that night he met at the station and es
corted to his hotel Miss Bertha Pelton, a
school teacher of Kenyon who was on her
way to her home in Wisconsin, having
finished her term of school. This was
about o'clock in the morning. At
o'clock the hotel burned. and the re-
mains of Miss Pelton were taken from the
ashes several hours later. Her corpse
was blackened and burned by the flames,
but it was recognizable and was claimed
and buried by relatives.
Hartley, is Is said, has told many con-
Trajectory stories Of the origin of the fire
and has been under supicion for some
time. The officials, however, have been
secretive and careful in gathering
evidence, and the indictment will cause
much surprise.
1t is the theory of the state that Hart
ley caused the death Of the girl in man
ner not yet made known, and then set
fire to the hotel in an attempt to hide his
first crime. Robbery is alleged to have
been his motive. The empty purse of Miss
Pelton was found in the ruins and pointed
to robbery and foul play. 1t was known
she had money, for she had just finished
her term of school and been paid.
Edward Corrigor Of West Concord has
been brought here to serve ninety days for
assault in the second degree Sylvan
Childs of the same place pleaded guilty to
petit larceny and was sentenced to a
term Of forty-fve days in the Olmsted
county Jail.

Nebraskans are coming in hosts for the
three great contests to be waged at
Northrop field o-morrow-contests of
noise, color and Drawn. The vanguard Of
the sturdy warriors from across the Mis-
souri, arrived in Minneapolis this morn
ing, 800 strong, headed by the men of
muscle who will try for football honors
against the big gophers. They reported
that still larger number would be here
tomorrow morning. Two special trains
over the Omaha road brought the crowd.
The rooters on leaving the train tore off
rousing yell. Scarlet and cream, the
Nebraska colors, were worn by the mile.
Gne observer remarked that the Ne,
braskans seemed to be devoted to scarlet,
cream and scream"
The players, about whom the rooters
were most solicitous, were hustled off to
busses and driven at once to the Hotel
Nicollet, where they obtained a long-de-
layed breakfast. The delay had only
whetted their appetites and the way they
disposed of the good things placed before

The Cayou case, the Nebraskans say is
not parallel, inasmuch as Cayou had been
year at Illinois university before en-
tering the athletic field as a member of
a team.
"The whole matter SINNERS down to
this, then: Is Carlisle preparatory
school or is it not?" the professor was
asked.
"Not exactly" was the reply, "for Car
Isle in athletics ranks with the big
schools Of the east, and in football plays
schedule commensurate with such rank :"
Players from preparatory schools in
the east, even if they are star players
and able to make varsity teams, are al
lowed to play upon entering the various
universities and without a years resi-
dence, are they not?"
Certainly" was the reply.
well, suppose one of those preparatory
schools should develop a whole team of
stars which could take rank with the
average university teams in the east,
would there be any objection, under the
one years residence rule, to members Of
such team playing on varsity teams on
entering the higher schools?'
Spirit Of the Rule.
Professor Wyer thought that objection
would develop in such a case, but replied
further: "Oh, perhaps by the letter of
the rule there can be no objection to
Rogers, but we believe that the spirit of
the rule, If followed, would not admit of
his playing"
Coach Booth answered the same ques-
tions in much the same way. He said 1t
was not his province to say anything, as
the whole matter was in the hands of the
faculty committee, and would be threshed
over with the Minnesota committee before
the game.
Nebraska VIII Play.
''Is there any danger of Nebraska's re-
fusing to play the game If the Minnesota
authorities insist on playing Rogers?"
was asked
mot the slightest; we'll play the whole
institution If necessary"
The Outlook.
About the prospects of Nebraska for
the game neither Coach Booth nor Pro-
fessor Wyer said much Coach Booth
said his men were in good condition gen.
orally speaking, and he felt sure Of
good game whichever side won. He said
that he did not know whether he would
try his light men back of the line or not,
but the lineup as given above is the
way Nebraska will begin the game.
Captain Westover would not discuss the
Rogers case and did not say much about
the outlook. He looked willing and able
to do his part in the game, as did all
the rest, and, like all the rest, was too
modest to say what the cornhuskers
hoped to do to the gophers tomorrow aft
ernoon.

Minnesota ROOters' Plans.
If ever there was any doubt as to the
ability Of the ''rooters" at the university
to enthuse on occasion such doubt was
certainly dispelled at the big meeting held
in chapel this morning. Enthusiasm ran
riot and over 1900 students under the di-
rection of the president of the "Rooters
Club and the several yell captains trans
formed the usual quiet of the place into a
rousing demonstration of their faith in the
Minnesota football giants and the certain
ty Of victory on the gridiron tomorrow.

SOUTHERN APPOINTMENTS

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE question of south

his policy Of appointing republicans If suit
able applicants could be found and if not
of appointing gold democrats. His policy in
this respect meets the approval Of the cab

President Roosevelt has decided definitely
to appoint Y. p Clayton of Columbia, S. c.,
