TOO MANY WOMEN STUDENTS.
stanford university Obliged to Adopt
New Regulations to Restrict
the Number.

New regulations in regard to the
admission Of women students into the
Leland Stanford university have been
announced. The limit Of 500, placed
by the founders of the university on
the number of women students, has
been reached. To keep the number
down the faculty committee on regis
tration has ruled that no more women
shall be allowed to register as special
students. The rule applies only to new
applications and will meet the Diff
Guilty for the coming year. After
August, 1904, however, another regula-
ton will go into effect to prevent the
registration Of women students on par
tial standing.

WORKED
Young Man Robs Express
Valuable Gens.

Detectives for the Adams and Amer.
lean Express companies think they
have located at Mason City the young
man who has been robbing their agents
of diamonds and rings. Two months
ago a man called at the Adams ONCE
at Chaplin and asked for a ring which
had been sent to him from q Chicago
firm, G. o. D. He looked at the ring
and apparently handed 1t back, saying
1t was not what he had purchased. and
to return It. The ring sent back was
cheap affair instead Of the ring sent
ont. which was worth $500. Two
weeks ago at buckingham a diamond
was sent to a stranger who examined
1t and told the agent to return It and
when 1t was received in Chicago 1t was
an ordinary piece Of glass. In both
Instances the diamond had been ex.
tracted and limitations substituted. The
companies put their detectives to work
and ring placed in pawn by gam
bier and confidence man named
O'Brien at Cresco gave what Is thought
to be a clue that will reveal the whole
transaction. O'Brien has skipped the
town, but can be easily located.

from within. The dim light was still

was a sound of whispering. Lorry
raised his head and pecred through,
taking calculations while the light
made 1t possible. He saw an open door
on the opposite side of the low room,
with steps beyond leading upward.
Between the window and the door there
were no Obstacles. Up those steps
he saw three men creep, the leader
carrying the dim light. The door was
left open, doubtless to afford unim-

point lie edged along the wall for dis

A sound came from farther down the
hall, and he imagined he heard some
one approaching.
His hand came in contact with a
heavy hanging or tapestry, and he
quickly squirmed behind Its folds, find

quickly followed by another. Provi-
dence had kept him from running
squarely into them. They were going
toward the left, and he realized that
they were now approaching the prin-
cess room. How he came to be ahead
of them lie could not imagine. Again
he felt tile door move slightly as he
pressed against it. The necessity for a
partial recovery of his composure be-
fore the next and most important step
impelled him softly to enter the room
for IN instant's breath.
Holding to the door, he stood inside
and drew himself to his full height,
taking long and tremulous breath.
There was no light in the room, but
through the door crack to his left came
dim, broad streak. He now knew
where he was. This room was next to
that In which the princess slept, for
had he not seen the light from her
window? Perhaps he was now in the
room of the Countess Dagmar. Next

Ing Geddos and Ostrom were crawling

first impulse was to cross and open the
door leading to the next room, sur
missing that it would be unlocked, but
he remembered Anguish, who was

stairs. They must not be separated,

Ills knees struck the door, and there

but like the report of gun to him. A
sudden rustic in the darkness of the
room. and then sleepy voice, soft and
quick. as of a woman awakening with
a start:
"Who is it?''
His heart ceased beating, his body
grew stir and immovable. Again the
voice, a touch of alarm in it now:

She spoke in German, and the voice
cane from somewhere in front and to
his right. He could not answer, could
not move. The paralysis of indecision
was upon him.

ing Anguish by the hand the other led
tie way straight to the spot where he
remembered seeing the door.
Boldly the two men began the breath
less ascent Of the stone steps. The top
was reached, and far ahead, down q
narrow hall, they saw the three men
and the dim light moving. Two Of
them wore uniforms of guards. Keep
ing close to the wall, their followers
crept after them. Up another fight of
steps they went and then through a
spacious hall. The Americans had no
time and no desire to inspect their sur
roundings. The wide doors at the far
side of the room opened softly, and
here the trio paused. Down great
marble hallway dim red light shed
its soft glow. 1t came from the lamp
ut the foot of the broad staircase.
The cook pointed to the steps and
then gave his thumb jerk toward the
left Without the least sign Of fear
Geddos and Ostrom glided into the
hall and made for the staircase. The
watchers could not but feel thrill Of
admiration for these daring wretches.
But nova new danger confronted
them. The cook remained standing In
the doorway watching his fellows In
crime! How were they to pass hint
There was no time to be lost. The
abductors We're creeping up the steps
already, and the cook must be dis
posed of. He had blown out the light
which he carried and was now very

and in an instant stood before the
amazed fellow. jamming pistol into
his face.
"A sound and you dieW he Missed.

rer, and second revolver touched his
ear. The cook, perhaps, did not know
their language. but he certainly under.

would have fallen to the floor had not
the strong hand Of Lorry pinned him
. to the wall. The hand was on his
throat too.
"Chloroform him, Harry, and don't
let him make a sound!' whispered the
owner Of the hand. Anguish's twitch.

friend on the cooks throat his pistol
was returned to his pocket, and the
little bottle came again into use.
''I'll go ahead. Follow me as soon

Lorry was off across the marble floor
headed for the stairway, and Anguish
was left in charge Of the cook, of whom
he was to make short work. Now
came the desperate, uncertain part Of
the transaction. Suppose he were t.

Washington has attracted the at
tention of the great cereal food man
ufacturing concerns, and stands to
profit somewhat by the craze that is
just now driving the retail grocery
trade into a position of defensive war
fare. The Malta Vita people have al
ready outlined plans for the establish
ment Of an extensive manufacturing
concern in connection with the works
OF the Pacific Starch company in Ia
coma, upon which construction will
commence Immediately after the first
of the year. Now Edward Ellsworth
e Co., their great rivals, are also in
vestigating the field with view of
starting a factory. In letter to local
chambers of commerce the company
announces it's intention of erecting an
immense cereal mill on the Pacific
Coast for the purpose of manufacture
ing Force, H-O and Holgrane flour.
The mill is intended to have a capacity
for turning out 10000 barrels daily, in
Guiding 1000 barrels Of flour and in
formation is asked relative to the adj
vantages of the various cities for such
a concern. This is unQuestionably the
section best calculated for the manu-
facture of legitimate cereal food prod
ucts profitably, not only because of the
fact that it furnishes the advantages
of cheap raw materials for the mills,
but because it has command OF trans
pacific markets, which are susceptible
of becoming large consumers of their
products. If the fad is to become per-
manent, there is nothing like being
in on the ground floor.-West Coast

culture was about twenty billions Of
dollars, or four times that invested in
manufacture. In that year there were
nearly five million seven hundred
and forty farms in the country, COW
ering eight hundred and forty-one mil
lion acres, four hundred and fifteen
millions of which consisted of inn
proved land. According to the re-
turns of the last census, about forty
million people, or more than half the
total population in 1900 resided on
farms. OF the Twenty-Five million
persons reported as engaged in gain
full occupations, ten million-more
than third-were employed in agri-
cultural pursuits. The produce of
American agriculture in 1899, includ-
ing farm animals and other products,
aggregated nearly five billions of dol
lars. The most valuable crop was In
dian corn, 2S,00O,000; then hay and
forage, $4S4,O0O,0O0; then cotton,
$324,000,000; wheat returned $370O00,-
900, and oats $217, 100000. The animals
sold and slaughtered during the year
were valued at over 100000, 900, the
products of the dairy gave $472,OOO, 900
while poultry and eggs returned over
1921, 100000 The concluding state
ment of the Secretary is that results
in the work of the Government for
agriculture are justifying expenditures
and "the future will still further show
the value of science applied to the
farm"
