MUST KEEP OFF.
Ames College Campus Not to Be Used
for Buildings.

Ames, May 14.--At the meeting of
the board of trustees here this week
one of the main contentious was over
the question Of donating real estate
owned by the state to the various pro-
fessors. For years 1t has been the
custom to permit members of the fac
ulty to erect residences on the college
campus. Half dozen or more profess
sors now own beautiful homes, the
ground under which belongs to the
state. Professor r. G. Barrett and two
or three other members Of the faculty
applied for a similar privilege at the
last meeting Of the trustees and 1t was
decided to call a halt. No final action
was taken, but there was so much op-
position that the request was not
granted.
The opposition originated in the
fight that was made against permitting
Greek letter fraternities at the college.
While sentiment seemed to favor the
fraternities, it was generally opposed
to allowing the fraternities to erect
their chapter houses on the campus.

The national losses in the fighting
around Spottsylvania. from the 9Th to
the 31st of May, were thirteen thous.
and. six hundred men killed, wounded
and missing Somewhat over half this
loss occurred on the 18th. There are
no exact statistics of the confederate
loss: but it appears to have been ten
thousand on the 18th, and was probably
about equal in the aggregate to the
National loss. The losses were heavy
in general officers. In the National
army, besides Sedgwick, Generals T. C.
Stevenson and j. G. Rice were killed
and Generals H. G. Wright and Alexan.
der S. Webb and Col. Samuel S. Car.
roll were wounded; the last named be.
ing promoted to Brigadier-general on
the field. OF the confederates, Cen
erals Daniel and Perrin We're killed !:
Generals r. d. Johnston, MCGOWAN.
Ramsur and Walker wounded, and
Generals Edward Johnston and Stuart
captured.
Grants Memorable Message.
General Grant had written to Hal.
leck on the 18th: 1--WE have now end.
ed the sixth day of very hard fighting
The result up to this time is much in
our favor. But our losses have been
heavy, as well as those of the enemy.

How well he made good his promise
can be told by any school boy. The glo
rious story of his victorious march in.
to Richmond and the quelling of the re
bellion is written into the history Of
the progress Of the nation too deeply
to ever be erased. That it was at the
expense of many lives is true, AND
that thousands of brave men, true tc
the death of their ideal and ideals
gave up their all. Grant won and the
union was reunited. But the present
condition of the nation is a glowing
indication that the feelings of enmity
which brought about that awful wal
and which caused it's continuance veal
after year even at the expense O.
lives whose value could not be comput
ed, have disappeared. The United
States now form one united nation
with neither north nor south, nor cas-
nor west. No event in history, neither
previous to nor since this war, CAL
equal it for bitterness nor results, ant
no progress can equal that of the agail
reunited people since the surrender o
the confederate forces at Richmond at
ter the awful battles of the Wilder
ness and the march to the confederat,
capital.
