the request that meetings be held -. in

 Succeed Seth Low.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-Professor Nicholas Murray Butler was elected president of Columbia university to succeed Mayor Seth Low at the meet ing of the board of trustees held yes terday afternoon. Professor Butler has been acting president since the resig- nation of MT. Low, which was given at the time of his nomination for the office of mayor.
 It was also announced after the meeting of the board of trustees that a gift of $1OO,OOO had recently been made to the university. The name of the donor was not made public, and all information was refused on the sub iect.
 Professor Butler, who has been for some years a member of the Columbia faculty, has been the editor of an edu- cational newspaper, and in such ca pacity a couple of years ago he was accused of bitterly attacking Mir. J. J. Little, who had been elected president of the board of education, calling him a fine old educational mastodon." In the same article he used the expression cohesive power of public plunder,' a term which has been frequently used in political campaigns since.
 Professor Butler was indicted at the time for criminal libel, but shortly after the indictment was dismissed He lived for many years in New Jer sey, where he interested himself great ly in school matters. In fact, all his life he has been interested in the pub lie school question, and he is an au thority on all such matters.

A Little Boys Life Saved.

I have a few words to say regarding Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It saved my little boys life and l feel that I cannot praise it enough. l bought a botte of it from A. E. Sheere, of Goodwin, $. D., and when l got home with it the poor baby could hardly breathe. I gave the medicine as directed every ten minutes until he s.threw up'' and then I thought sure he was going to choke to death. We had to pull the phlagm out of his mouth in great long strings. I am positive that if I had not got that bottle of cough medicine, my boy would not be on earth to-day.-Joel Demont, lnWood Ia.

A Fifth Assistant Needed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-The crea- ton of another assistant postmaster generalship, to have charge of the free city and rural delivery service, is con templated in a bill shortly to be intro duced in the house by Representative Watson of Indiana. The proposed leg islation is the result of the vast growth of the rural free delivery servio throughout the country, which, wit> the free delivery service in the cities will involve an aggregate cost of over S30, ,000 900 during the next fiscal year fhe free delivery service, which com prises both the city and rural delivery now has about 375 employees, distrib pted among number of divisions

has been the installation of a crema- tory for the burning of the garbage collected in the city. The plant is located in the Waterville district, and it appears to be giving good satisfac- tion; the many visiting committees from other cities, who have been here to examine it unite in speaking or It in the highest terms.
 City Hall Building. Now that the city has come into full control of the city hall building, would it not be a move in the right direction to have a committee appointed to take under consideration the remod- cling of the upper portion of said building? This matter has been un- der advisement in the past, but on ac- count of the joint ownership of the property by the city and the town, nothing definite was done. The rapid increase of the city's business demands more, larger and better office facili- ties than are now afforded. The city attorney, city treasurer, tax collector and city sheriff should have offices in this building.
 Legislation.
 
 constables should take place on years of even date on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, the day on which state elections are held. The saving to the city by this course would not be less than $4,000 or $5,000 each election. I would recommend that the city attorney be authorized to apply to the next general assembly for such legislation as will bring about the above suggested change.
 Annual Reports. I The value of a careful perusa1 of the superintendent of schools, city en- gineer, city attorney, superintendent of streets, superintendent of water, the chiefs of the police and fire depart ments and of other officials for the past year, must be apparent to all, and especially so to those who are entering the government for the first time These reports cover in detail the work done by the different departments dur. ing said period and contain much valu able information
 Conclusion.
 Tn conclusion, I desire to publicl, express my high appreciation of til, honor conferred upon me by the citi zens of this city in re-electing me t the office of mayor. Standing upoi the threshold of a new term, can onl, say that I sincerely trust that no off cial act of mine will bring pain or re gret to a single heart but hope m. official acts shall tend to bring joy, hap piness and satisfaction to all the pee pie, for the promotion and protectiol of whose interests pledge my efforts and solicit your kind and valuable suI port.
 wish you all happy and prosper ouS new year.
