MONEY is STILL COMING IN
hal Americans Are Making
Up Fund.

Minnesota's contribution to the Nc
Kinley memorial fund will reach about
$1,000 This is $1,000 less than the amount
apportioned to the state by the national
committee, but Is considered good show
ing nevertheless, when all circumstances
are taken into account. Money is still
coming in rapidly, both from Minneapolis
and from the outside counties
In st. Louis county, where the work has
been done by local committee of Duluth
business men, $l,534.65 has been raised.
Next to Hennepin this is the largest con-
tribution yet reported from any county.
Among the smaller counties Carver has
contributed 5000 and Clay, $3.50. The to-
tai contribution from Houston county, up
to date is $110, and the money was raised
in more different localities than have re-
spcnded from any county in the state.
ii or the contributions now coming in the
greater part are from country schools.
The schools of Pipestone county have con-
tributed $2785; those of Rice county
s24.96; Dodge county, $40.29; Itasca,
$10.S0; Carver, s33.72; Kandiyohi, $5669;
Traverse, $34.71; and Winona, $19.34. All

Secretary Frank H. Forbes will issue a
list, within a few days, showing the con-
tributions, by counties, relative to popula-
tion. Vest erday Mr.. Forbes received a
letter from John Goodnow, United States
consul at Shanghai, and former Mime
apolitan, in which Mr.. Goodnow stated
that a fund for the monument was being
raised among Shanghai Americans and
that he hoped to be able to forward a
very respectable sum to the national
committee. Mr.. Forbes had written him
asking him to contribute through the
Minnesota fund, and the letter received
was in reply to that request.

NEW VARSITY REGULATIONS
cS
by q Faculty Committee.


by Faculty Committee.
Sweeping changes In the faculty regula-
tions for the internal workings of the
university are under consideration of the
general faculty. The revision in many
respects is as important as the change
made this year from The three-term sys-
tenn to the semester plan and many of the
changes are necessitated by the semester
system. .--.'
1t Is proposed, first of all, to revise the
entire committee system and place the
several portions of the machinery of su-
pervision upon definite basis. AS it
now stands, there are continual conflicts
of authority and great irregularity OF pro-
cedure. Then, too. the system Of marks
In vogue is altogether unsuited to a large
and progressive institution. commit
tee was appointed last week with a view
to unifying the whole system: This com
,nittee completed its work to-day and the
report will be considered by the faculty
at special meeting on Monday.
The committee suggests the establish
ment of general committee to have over
sight of the work of the students and If
possible of a deanship as the executive
head Of the faculty. The list of stand
ing committees is entirely revised and the
decision of these committees is final and
not to be overruled save by majority
vote Of the faculty
Delay in registration, prevalent evil,
Is to be corrected by the imposition of a
fine for each days delay beyond the
specified time
But the most sweeping change proposed
is in the system Of marks. Here it Is
proposed to adopt the Yale system Of
placing the passing mark of all classes
at on the basis Of for perfect work,
or scale of 200 and 400 per cent. This
it is expected, will do away with much Of
the unfairness In granting honors to
students.
Strict provisions are also made for the
ing it practically Impossible for students
with no inclination for work to remain
long in the university Regulations COW
ering attendance at class meetings are
also incorporated.
1t Is probable that the report of the
committee will be adopted.

His Name Is "Distrubance" and He
Is the Best in the
Country. p

'sDi Disturbance,' the imported brindle
bull dog, who is to be the king of Frank
Forman's kennels, arrived this morning.
At the time of the Importation the repre-
sentative Of a Kansas City man, who had
on the same steamer white dog and a
brindle dog, had the Misrepresentation that
the brindle would look we'll in Kansas
City and the white dog was forwarded in
bond to Minneapolis. The error is cor
rected and the bull dog, with the broad
est front and largest bones, for his age,
is now established in his Minneapolis
home.

broaden at least three inches in the
course Of time, will have jaw protruding
at least an inch further; that his deli
cate retrousse nose will go up in the air
another notch, and that he will have 80
per cent more wrinkle. He is as gentle as
the kindest New Foundland and is a per-
feet children's pet.
Disturbance is the son of Richard
Croker's $4,000 Rodney Stone, undoubtedly
tie best bull dog living. Mr.. Forman re-
turned this morning from the Chicago dog
show, where he found only one dog su-
lerior to his new dog, that Of Mr. Van
