STEPHENSON, MICH-But for his cat,

VERMlLLION, S. D.-The people of
Clay county. are more interested in the
state university than in the outcome Of
the capital removal fight. The institution
needs a new gymnasium and 8 military
building. Both departments ate greatly
handicapped for want Of indoor space.
The military drills, which have always
taken a prominent part at the institution,
cannot be carried on very satisfactorily
on stormy days. Physical training Is nee
essarily neglected, also, for lack of a
gymnasium and apparatus The bulk of
the work in this line is either done on
the gridiron or In the spring work for
track meets. Two important features of a
thorough college education are materially
hindered merely for want of an appro-
priation Of a few thousand dollars for
a new building. The legislature will be
asked for the appropriation, not because
another building is wanted to beautffy the
campus, but for the purpose of advance
ment along educational lines
