year as a college. Although the campus
is not yet echoing the voices of stu
dents and work in the classes will not
begin before Sent. ., the sound OF
hammers and busy workmen testify to
work of a very inip ortant nature. Dur
ing the summert many repairs have
been made and ntw work undertaken
Old students will,hardly recognize the
interior of Science hall. The two large
class rooms and laboratories on the
first floor have been thrown together
by the removal of the large sliding
door and portion of the wall. The
division walls of the apartments on
the second floor have been removed
and four large recitation rooms formed
These rooms will be devoted to classes
in botany, physics and biology. In thi :
building also will be the natural his
tory rooms, and the collections of
minerals and rocks will be removed
to these rooms. The walls of the halls
and the woodwork have been cleaned,
tinted and painted.
Coram library will be opened for

establishment, and says one of her
fondest hopes has been realized. Miss
Norton, 1903, is assisting about the ar
rangement of the books.
Parker hall has had it's share of at
tention, but the repairing here has
been mostly done by the students, many
of whom have had their rooms newly
papered and painted.
Through the kindness of Mr.. Milliken

ken has long been a trustee and
staunch friend of the college. and now
has come forward generously to Its
aid He has bought the large two
story house at the corner of Skinner
and Wood streets and has opened it to
the girls. More than that upon Il
large pleasant lot close by he is erect
ing a large building which will be used
for girls dormitory. These build

college at a figure which makes Mi
Milliken's kindness more apparent.

Sunday the body OF a white man was
found floating in the Neches River about
half a mile below the drawbridge Of the

noon yesterday the second body was found
in the same vicinity.
The tioater found yesterday was buried
without Identification but from appear
anccs it was the body OF a Mexican labOreC
between 80 and 40 years OF age.
The body had evidently been in the wate
about two days. and Wien found was
among some bushes and logs in such d
way as to make 1t necessary TO tow it W
the river Il short distance before II was re
moved.
There was a slight wound over the left
eye. This wound might have been caused
by a small caliber bullet
The body of the man found Sunday was
eXhumed this morning and examined by
two men. who identified it as that of Jim
Broderick, an English bricklayer. 1t is

the Mexican, whose body was found yester-
