first land taken up in Ninevah town
ship, Johnson county. On this farm
Mr.. Miller worked as a boy, and he
still manages the ancestral acres.
From the farm he entered Butler
University, from which institution he
graduated in 1888, winning honors in
every department. Hugh Miller"
says the Butler Collegian, was one
of the most brilliant students ever
graduated from the college, and for
versatility he probably has not been
equalled by any student here in the
last twenty years." After graduating
he spent year at home, devoting
part of his time to the ministry of the
Christian church. In 1889 he began
a ten-years' period of service, first as
an instructor, later as professor in
his alma mater, leaving behind him
in the institution when he left 1t to
enter business five years ago, a deep
impress on the college and those who
as students and teachers had been as
ISOLATED with him. 1t Is not surpris-
ing that he should have been favorably
mentioned for the presidency of the
institution when a vacancy occurred
some time ago, and that movement
for his election thereto was stopped
only by his Intervention. After his
retirement from college work Mr.. MIL
Ter incidentally served for two years
as editor of the journal of his college
fraternity, The Scroll" of Phi Delta
Theta, and placed 1t in the very front
rank of publications of this character.
The Butler Collegian says of Mr..
Miller, that while a student of pro-
digious ability, he has never been a
book man or grind; he is an all-around
man of the best type. His college and
old friends are proud of his recent sue
cess, but they know he will justify all
their hopes for him-that is why
every Butler man was lined up for
Hugh Miller. He will do honor to his
friends and his state if elected, for
he is fearless. eminently capable, thor
ough and incorruptible sort of
man most needed In the administra-
ton of our public affairs"

candidate for treasurer of Newton
county, who also died from steam
scalding.

keefe and Roberts were in the for
ward coach, and the steam from the
overturned engine enyeloped them.
Keefe was conscious up to within five
minutes of his death, two and one-half
hours after the wreck. The heroism of
Keefe and his solicitude as TO the con-
dition of his friend and companion
caused much comment. After being
terribly scalded Keefe walked up the
steps of the hospital unassisted, and
when the physicians were giving him
relief he told them that he could stand
the pain, and that they should pay at

the leaders among the citizens of Kent

of the court house to Goodland and
often used his influence among legisla-
tors against it.

MISS. MACDONALD'S
 GLASSES CLOSE WORK

A most enjoyable time was passed last evening at the Convent of Notre Dame, the occasion being the closing of Miss Macdonald's junior classes. The result of the years work reflected great credit on both teacher and pu- pills.
 The program included elocution, physical culture and dancing. 1t would be hard to say which number deserved most praise. The order and ease with which the many difficult numbers were executed, also the grace of all the pupils was commented upon and ad- mired by all present
 The Indian club swinging represent ed hard work and thorough drilling. The entire class took part and were: Misses Teresa Cooley, Loretta Casey, Mary Dunn, Margaret King, Rose Ramon, Genevieve Kilroe, Katherine MAloney, Anita Carroll, Georgie Wolf, Mary Henderson, Stella Keefe, Kath- erine Jackson, Mary Gaffney, Helen Frun, Mollie Cullen, Pauline Cullen, Margaret Cullen, Carrie Martin, Annie Martin, Geraldine Wallace, Cornelin Fruin, Josephine Birney, Veronica Birney, Els Carroll, Mary McCor- mick and Frances Haux.
 All Of the same class took part In the dumb bell drill which was equally good.
 beautiful scarf drill arranged by Miss Macdonald for the occasion, was gracefully performed by Misses Louise Martin, Margaret Sweeney. Teresa Carley, Agnes Mahoney, Loretta Cas- ey, Mary Dunn. Mary Henderson Anita Carroll and Genevteve Kilroe.
 Many of the same pupils had recita- lions and fancy dances, all of which were beautifully performed in each particular. All had been prepared to recite, but only q few were called upon and many of the dances were omitted as there was not time for all.
 Miss Macdonald has certainly been most successful here with all of her classes, and all of her pupils show careful training.

SIDE WALK REPAIRS.
Concrete Hen Displeased With Way
 Work is Given Out.

The concrete men about town claim that they have a crow to pluck with the present city administration. Tn the past everybody repaired his own sidewalk and in this way the different contractors came in for share of the work, but since the new law went into effect one man is getting the whole of it at his own price. This has stirred up quite hornets nest among the concrete men. all of whom, except MT Wilmot, who is doing the work, feel that the job should have been let by contract or that at least the whole of 1t ought not to 2, to one per son. It is too bad that is sidewalk law should be abused. is the only way that we can have go walks and the only way. too, by which everybody who uses them can be compelled to pay something toward the expense of keeping them in proper condition, but if the work is to be doled out contrary to a charter provision and in a man. ner which shows a decidedly political turn, then like the City Normal school, it will be short lived and no matter how much merit there may be in 1t it will be throttled. Tn justice to the public, to say nothing about the cora- tractors, bids should have been called for before q penny of that S5,0Oo side walk appropriation was spent If this had been done it would remove the whole source of faultfinding on the part of men who claim the sidewalk law has bean converted into money making machine &og one man
