New York, Oct. 6.-In his annual
report, issued today, President Mich

yersity, says the institution is with
out adequate grounds and buildings
and without sufficient income to care
properly for the work that has al
ready been undertaken. The president
reports the value of the university to
be $21,312,554.

Cutting Wood for Fuel.

Bound Brook, N. j., Oct. 6.-Mayor
D.ake of Lincoln, N. j., who is also
president of a real estate company
offered free of charge to the residents
of Lincoln, three acres of standing
hardwood timber owned by the COM
pany and situated on the outskirts
of the village. The only condition is
that the timber must be cut down,
cut into cord-wood lengths and stack
ed. Then it will be distributed to the
townspeople.
The offer was at once accepted, al
most every family providing at least
worker, and by afternoon the cut
ting of trees was begun. There are
500 inhabitants in the village and it
is figured that there is enough wood
in the tract to do them for the winter,
should it become necessary to keep up
the consumption of it.
The same company owns five acres
of wood land in the thirteenth ward
of Trenton, N. j., and another tract
near Plainfield. Mr.. Drake announc-
ed that the timber en- these tracts
would be given to the poor of the
cities mentioned.

RIOTS in KANSAS CITY.

Kansas City, Oct. 6.-Two riot calls
we're sent to police headquarters to-
day to suppress incipient riots start
ed by 200 medical students who
smashed the windows of the Medico-
Chirurgical college, and the Kansas
City Medical college. The students,
bent on committing their usual pranks
incident to the fall festivities, start
ed from the eastSside this forenoon,
creating a din as they marched
through the streets. ss
At the Medico-C hirurgical college
on the east side dozens of windows
were smashed and students roughly
handled. When the police arrived in
response to the janitor's call the stu
dents had departed for the Kansas
City Medical college on the west side.
There similar scenes were enacted
and the work of the students was
completed before the police. caught up
with them.
Half a dozen students were hurt but
none seriously. The students made
their escape before arrests could be
made.

From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
Today's arrivals from. the west
brought particulars OF q desperate ef-
fort at sself-destruction made at Big

man who was q passenger on west
bound train. u
The train was standing in front of
the strange actions Of a man in the
about the platform were attracted by
the strang actions Of a man in the
lavatory of one Of the cars. The door
to the room was locked and had to
be forced in. The man was found
bathed in blood, which was running
from a cash in his throat and also sew
eral others in his arm. He had an
old and a dirk and these were
the instruments with which ne was
attempting to end his existence.
Although he made determined re-

taken from the train and placed in the

county. He said he was tired of life
and would yet kill himself, notwiths

Conference Between Mitchell and Ma

Buffalo, Oct. president Mitchell
and party and the committee appoint
ed by the National Manufacturers as
sociation held a three hours confer
ence here this morning and adjourn
ed until 2 p. IN. No member Of either
party would discuss the propositions
to be submitted for a plan by which
the manufacturers might secure a sup
ply of anthracite coal and thus keep
their plants in operation during a
continuance of the strike. The COM
mittee CT the manufacturers is com
posed of Frank Leake, Philadelphia;
George H. Barbour, detroit; d. NJ.
Parry, Richard Young and George
Maxwell, Indianapolis. When seen Dy
an Associated Press reporter this
morning before the beginning of the
conference Mr.. Parry said:
mo tentative plan has been dis
cussed by the committee. Until we
get together and talk the matter over
with Mr.. Mitchell nothing can be
said for publication except that we
have strong hopes of accomplishing
something before the conclusion of
this conference which will be of bene-
fit to the manufacturers"
'lHaye you any understanding with
the operators?"
mo, we have made no move in that
direction. If we are able to accom-
plish anything with Mr.. Mitchell and
his colleagues we will then try to
formulate a plan on a purely business
basis to bring the two sides of the
controversy together for the benefit
of the manufacturers"
President Mitchell declined to dis
cuss the action of Governor Stone in
calling out the National guard of
Pennsylvania and refused to give the
substance of what passed yesterday
between himself and Commissioner
Wright in Philadelphia.
After the conference Mr.. Parry stat
ed that a general discussion of the sit
uation had taken place but nothing
had been agreed upon.

SELF ADJUSTING DISORDER.
Opinion Of Prominent stockman
Anent overcrowding Of Ranges.

i. w. Stacy Sunday made the last
shipment Of cattle he will send from
Miles City this season. One or more
shipments he has to make. but they
will take place from Fallon. MI.
Stacy's reason for changing the base
of his loading is the absence Of water
within q distance Of 40 miles from
town, on the north side and the fact
that the presence Of the shearing
pens there this summer has resulted
in attracting such large numbers of
those animals that even the unusual
ly luxuriant growth OF grass which
characterized the present year is prac-
tically exhausted. ,
Speaking of the new bridge being a.
detriment or not to the north side,
Mr.. Stacy does not regard II, as an
evil, as while 1t would undoubtedly
facilitate the trailing of sheep from
the south to the north side in sum
mer, it also allows north side fell
lows easy access to the long waving
jungles Of %succulent grass which the
gentlemen on the other side have
been reserving for winter ranges,
says the Yellowstone Journal.
Under normal climatic conditions
throughout the state Mr.. Stacy re-
CARDS the much talked Of ''overcrowd-
ing" with cattle or sheep as a self
adjustable disorder. When, there
gets to be an over population Of live
stock in any locality the Montana
winter will see to it that the number
lis reduced to the proportion that ma
ture intended. OF course it may be
a little rough on some people, but err
rors OF judgment are always follow
| ed by misfortune of some sort in any
line Of business.
Ordinarily also the sheep and cat
tie in Custer and Dawson counties
would have no difficulty in finding
subsistence on the north side yer If
their number were increased, with a
year like the present has been, but
the great drouth west of them has
caused large numbers Of grazers to
be driven in and these have material
|ly reduced the quantity of feed, which
the residents of those counties should
properly .be entitled to look to for
sustenance of their live stock through
the winter. I.
However, Mr.. Stacy does not look
at the future with any gloomy fore
bodings, If the winter is not one of
extraordinary severity. 4.
