Iowa City. April 9.-The board OF
regents are considering the budget OF
the University of Iowa for 1904 at
their meeting today. Final action on
the budget is not expected until Friday.
the last day Of the regents meeting.
The budget is lengthy affair and the
regents are put to harder task than
usual in considering 1T by reason of
lack of appropriations to carry on the
work of the university, due to the ac-
ton of the twenty-ninth general as
sembly in looping off some of the ap-
| preparations asked by the university.
After pairing the appropriations for the
different departments of the college as
much as is possible, some $1,000 must
still be cut off the budget. A horizon
tai cut of three per cent on all de-
partments, including salaries, appara-
tus needed, and supplies. is expected
as the final action of the regents This
may mean number of professors will
be unable to remain at the university
at the salaries offered them.
All matters relating to buildings will
be postponed until the June meeting
OF the regents.
The addition to the law faculty of
two strong professors is desired by the
board. A professor of code pleading,
and possibly an additional professor to
take charge of Real Property, Bills and
Notes, and other subjects, is contem-
plated. Hon. Milton Romley, former
attorney general of the state, is sug-
gested for this latter position. but his
acceptance of the position is as yet
uncertain. Mr.. Romley was favored by
a number of the regents two years
ago, for the deanship of the college of
law, but he refused to consider the
question of accepting the position on
account Of his large private practice.

On the goth day of November last he
drove rapidly into town, his seat upon

killed in 1868 by Mr.. Smith and Mr..
Ingham. The elk antlers, which have
adorned the court room for number
of years, was secured the same year
as these were and they will all three
be mounted over the doors in the new
court room. The deer from which the
antlers were secured were shot by the
gentlemen named over near the head
of Boone river.
Mt. Pleasant.
yssMt. Pleasant stands a good show of
securing an industry that will afford
employment for from fifty to seventy
five people. The manager Of a large
eastern glove factory is fayorably inn
pressed with Mt. Pleasant as ioca-
ton for a branch factory. 1t can he
secured by putting up small bonus
of perhaps a thousand dollars and
granting the factory exemption from
taxes for a few years. and perhaps
free water and light, and a few
other minor concessions. The city
needs just such an enterprise. and
the manager of the factory says that
if seventy-five boys and girls can be
secured to work in the factory he
will guarantee that he will pay out
$4,000 annually in wages.
Farrasut.
Farragut Is discussing the feasibility
of an electric light system. The plan
is for the Replogle Mill Company to
put in a dynamo and the wires and
poles sufficient for lighting the town.
Some believe the plan is entirely feas-
ible and the Replogles will make the
council proposition next Monday
evening. Others think 1T would be
impossible to get enough contracts to
make the plant pay. Another scheme
for lighting the town is by the air
pressure system with gasoline lamps.
1t is cheap process and has proven
very satisfactory in some towns.
Others are talking Of investigating
the cost of an air pressure water
works system such as Is used at Essex
and Tabor. Others object to fasten-
ing any debt upon the town. They
call attention to the fact that the last
of the town Indebtedness has been
noid off ap1 tho Earragllt citizens are
proud of the excellent financial condi-
ton thus shown and they want to
keep out of debt.

Saved My Life and Kept
Me From Insane Asylum. Z.
Mrs. Wilcox Is Now in
Perfect Health Through No Other
Agency Than
Paine's Celery
COMPOUND

The absolute need Of an honest and
genuine invigorator and health giver in
the spring season is deeply impressed
on the mind of every thinking ana
Intelligent man and woman.
The happy cure of Mrs. j. q. Wilcox,
OF Winters, Cal, through the use OF
Paine's Celery Compound, created
widespread establishment and joy "a
nlongst her friends and neighbors who
were exceedingly anxious regarding
her condition.
The best medical treatment failed
even to give Mrs. Wilcox a few days
OF relief from her sufferings of mind
and body. At last, Paine's Celery
Compound saved her from terrible
end and planted her feet firmly on the
rock OF health.
Read Mrs. wilcox's letter Of testi-
nony, dear reader, and if you remain
cbdurate and unbelieving after such an
earnest and convincing confession of
cure. nothing but a direct act of Provi-
dence can snatch you from the dangers

Trustees Appropriate More Money for
tho New Central Building.
Ames, April 9.-The board Of trustees
Of the Iowa State college decided at a
meeting held here last night to make
an. additional appropriation OF $4,000
for the erection of the main building.
The action of the board was the result
TOT the building committee stating that
it was found impossible to so modify
and revise the original plans and spe-
cifications as to enable it to receive
bids that would lie within the limit
of the original appropriation of s225,OOO
without making radical changes in the
size and general outline Of the build
ing as originally planned by the ar
chitects, and submitted to the board
at its meeting on March 26. The low
est bid obtained on the building at that
time Appropriated to $350.000, but it
is expected that with few slight
changes in the less important features
OF, the structure, such as ornamental
ton, furniture, etc, the board will now
experience no difficulty In obtaining
bids sufficiently low as to be acceptable.
It was deemed advisable to receive sep
arate bids on different parts OF the
construction of the building, such as
masonry, plumbing, heating plant, ETC..
in place of letting the contract Of the
entire structure to one firm. It is be-
lieved that the aggregate amount of
the various bids will be less than If bids
were obtained on the building as
whole.
The board has $55O000 as building
fund at it's disposal at present. In adj
dition to the recent 100000 appropria-
ton for the main building, $4,000 has
been appropriated for the erection of
an addition to the present agricultural
building, new stock pavilion and a
green house, out Of this fund, thus
leaving only 100000 for the proposed
new agricultural hall to be erected
soon after the completion of the main
building. It was feared by the board
that by appropriating the additional
SIS, 900 for the main building, the re-
naming 100000 would be far too
small an amount to erect as large and
pretentious structure as would be
able to meet the increasing demands
of the agricultural department as IN
dicated by its recent rapid growth. In
such an emergency 1t is the intention
OF the board to request the state legis-
lature for an additional appropria- |
ton.
The board will meet here May 6 to
receive new bids on the main building.
The matter of selecting new building I
will also come UP before the board.

In regard to the multiplicity of generals" in the Venezuelan army, 1t has been observed that these worthies, so numerous as to be al- most omnipresent, are the only men who are allowed to wear their swords at official receptions. The major of an English regiment, being about to pay call of ceremony upon the governor of an interior province, asked his servant for his sword, in tending to put it on with his uni form. The mozo grimly inquired his rank in the army, and on being told, observed that officers of that grade in Venezuela were not allowed to wear swords through the streets on visits of ceremony; but he added that he, the servant, holding the rank of general in the army, could wear his own sword, and hand it over to his master at the governors palace.
