news Church. the champion gormandizer of
this section, was here on saturday, and not
feeling particularly hungry, dispensed with
dinner During the afternoon, between II m.
and D. M, he partook of lunch at different
times, with few cold ones on the side. Fol-
lowing is the bill of fare he got away with in

A precious one from as has gone
voice we loved is stilled:
place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filed.
God in his wisdom has recalled,
The boom his love had given;
And though the body slumbers here,
May thy soul be safe in heaven.
We miss thee from our home, dear sister:
We miss thee from thy placer
skadown DER our life is cast
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand;
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without thee
We miss thee everywhere.
BY HER SISTER, MRS. F. A. BRIGHTwELL.
Oh, could speak to her once more,
Oh, could she live again;
My aching heart would then be filed
With joy instead of pain.
One loved has died and left me
For the dark and silent tomb;
Closed her eyes in sleeping slumber
Faded in her early bloom
Gone from earthl Yes gone to Heaven.
Tender dim eyes shall gaze in vain;
We shall hear her voice, Oh never
Never more on earth again.

cont ended that Mr.. Hill might have made
more money by selling cut to the Harri-
man people, but that In doing so he
would have been abandoning the north
west to their mercy. Let us see about
that. They only required few more
shares to control. There was hot con-
test to insure a majority. A few shares
might have been bought by the Hartman
people to insure that control, but when
they mad obtained these few shares con-
stituting the difference between their
side and the Hill-Morgan side, they
would have had no use for more shares at
high prices, and quotations would have
dropped to normal figures, so that Mr..
Hill probably could not have sold out at
the high price, if he had wished to. But
even if he could, it is apparent that 1T
is not money that Mr.. Hill wants, SO much
as it is what money brings. The mere pos
session of thirty or forty millions more
money would have given him no new SEN
sation. He could not tell the difference
in the mere possession of fifty millions,
or a hundred millions in cash. What he
wanted was power, power to control the
railroad situation. This is
the object of his ambition, thing
which delights him, and for which he will
ing to pay large sums OF money. rms IS
what he Is struggling to obtain to-day.

A DEFENSE OF GOVERNOR WHITE

After all it Is possible that we have
been too severe on the governor of North
Dakota. He is mot to be judged by the
standard that would be applied to the
governors of other states. In all or at
least, most Of the other states the gov
errors are men of strength and COM
handing forces who, no matter what kind
of a combination elected them, are gov
errors in fact; men who think their own
thoughts, determine their own methods
of procedure and WELD the authority with
which the office endows them.
But Governor White is governor in
name and not much more. He draws the
salary and signs the papers. 1t is not to
be charged against him very heavily that
in a moment of impulse he expressed his
opposition to the railroad consolidation.
If he erred then he has amply atoned for
it. Just as soon as the men who made
him, and to whom he looks for another
term, reminded him that he had not done
his duty to them (never mind the people)
he changed his position like good and
faithful servant and is doing all he can
to undo what he did. What more can you
expect?

UNIVERSITY SOLDIERS MEMORIAL

The regents, faculty, present and for
mer students and other friends of the
university are engaged in a most COM
mendable and patriotic enterprise.
1t has for it's object the placing on the
campus Of a fitting memorial for all the
former students Numbering over 21o) who
served in the army or navy Of the United
States during the recent war with Spain,
six of whom gave up their lives ere the
struggle had closed.
All of them deserve an enduring me-
mortal and what more fitting place to
erect it than at the institution they loved
so we'll and which they SO signally hon
ored on land and on sea?
And who could so fittingly honor them
as the freiends of the university, in
whose hearts they will be forever held in
loving remembrance and for whose loyalty
and beroism they will have undying graft
tude?
In thus honoring them, they will honor
themselves and this noble institution
while they help to perpetuate the splen-
did lesson Of patriotism so bravely taught
by these young men who pledged their
all for the cause Of human freedom
Over one-half of the required amount,
$4,000 has been pledged. We wish the
undertaking a speedy success:
Such memorial will not only add to
the beauty and attractivenes of the cam
pus and the city but it will also mark
a most interesting epoch in the history
Of the university.
The lamented Governor Pillsbury, gen
erously encouraged this plan and the DON
ors will carry out his expressed wish by
completing the work so loyalty begun by
him All contributions may be sent to

versity, chairman of the committee, who

tyranny. Presently they would feel it. Then
there would be something DROP but it
would be too late. 1t would be vain pro-
test, kick against the pricks.
Sigsbee's First Thought.
z Here is a story that may be as old AZ the
hills, but those who have not heard it will
like it anyway, and others may think about
the trust problem for another paragraph. A
woman asked Captain Sigsbee of the Maine
what was his first thought when he realized
that his battleship had been destroyed by a
torpedo. 81 found myself wondering" the
captain said, what the New York papers
would look like the next morning" 1t was
perfectly natural that the captain should
wonder. The way the papers looked at the
catastrophe would mean peace or war, for
their view, taken in the aggregate, would
very certainly be the view of the nation.

A FRENCH ENDOWMENT FOR CHICAGO

The itch our American milliOnaireS have
for endowing educational institutions has
spread to France and NJ. Robert Lebaudy,
the multimillionaire, has Withdrawn
100000 francs from his mass of wealth
and given it-not to French institution,
but to found French college Of the Uni
yersity of Chicago. More francs, we are
told will be forthcoming for the endow-
ment; the 100000 being merely for erec-
ton and equipment.
But though M. Lebaudy has given his
money to an American institution, its
benefits will be for his own people. He
has apparently taken up the idea of M
Millerand, the French minister of com
merce, and decided to supplement- with
private means an undertaking that will
be under the auspices of the French gov
eminent. The college is to have accom-
modations for 600 of the brightest young
men of France Goo new ones being ad-
mitted ever year, who will make it their
headquarters for learning from America
all those things which America can teach
to France.
be paid by the French government. After
the college is we'll established it is ex-
pected that it will send into France each
year stream Of Americanized men of
education and ability who will infuse new
energy, new ideas and new ambitions into
the old-fashioned, slow-going, unpro-
gressive industries of France.
BY endowing an American college for
Frenchmen, in this way, NJ. Lebaudy has
undoubtedly done more for his compatri-
OTIS than he could have done~by endowing q
French college for Frenchmen. The
American way is the way of industry and
trade to-day. Germany may instruct the
! world in the theory of education, France
in art and England in colonial govern
! ment, but when it comes to industry the
world must learn Of US. Industry is the
greatest factor in modern life. BY It ma
ltiohs live. Without 1t they perish. Sue
