both these officers will be fired. The
fire company will be somewhat reorgan-
ed as result OF the nnwise activity

ed to result from the Investigation

MANY STUDENTS MONKEY.
Helps are Plentiful in Examina-
ton Rooms.
Girls as Well as Boys are Addicted to
the HaDit-Students Don't Seem to
Take Any Notice Of the Practice
Girl is Game Whe7 Caught.

The system OF monkey papers
here is MARVEL said an observant
student this morning. "They have
reduced the matter to science and
the preparation of such papers is
rather help to the students whe
make them up. Some of those ]
have seen are models. They CON-
prise everything in the books which
are under consideration.
sAnd the bold manner in which
they are used is surprising. The
students do not seem to resent it,
but the practice puts the good,
honest student at a disadvantage.
He has worked hard during the term
and passed his examination honestly
at the end of it. He makes a good
grade of course bat the fellow with
a monkey roll beats him CIT in the
grades.
sTnis would occasion more COM
ment but for the fact that people
here place so little weight ON the
fact that student has taken high
rank. There is little or no attention
given the matter. In other schools
the student with the high percentage
is hero in the class room, as much
so as the foot ball man on the grid
iron.
"Another fact that surprises me
is that the girls are not free from the
monkey habit / saw girl pull a
monkey paper out of her purse and
use it eagerly. The Professsr leaned
oger her as she did SO. She was
game however and continued. He
did not say anything but | heard
afterwards that he said he did not
think she could pass the test even
with help.
''Still anorher thing that surprises
me is that petition was put before
the Board Of Regents at their recent
meeting asking that one of the pro-
fessors be removed If were in his
place that class would live hard as
long as they we're under me. APP
parently no one poid any attention
to the matter although he saw the
petition and the names of those
signed to it.
THE practice of having two ex-
aminations day makes the students
dig and it seems that it places too
much work on them all at once.
However as it cuts down the time
devoted TO examinations to one half
what it was formerly and thus gives
more time to study, it probably has
much to recommend it,"

Millions For Militar, Automobiles.

Included among the German army
estimates for the present year is one
OF several million for extensive trials
and experiments with automobiles for
military purposes. In this, however,
the German government differs from
the person who suffers from stomach,
liver and kidney complaints. He can
not afford to waste any money expert
menting with this er that remedy.
For this reason most every sufferer
takes Hostetter's Stomach Bitters at
the very start, for he knows that IL
any medicine will cure him quickly,
the Bitters will. If you are among
the few persons who have never tried
it, do so today. You'll be thankful
for the advice. 1t will cure belching,

constipation, general debility, spring

dollars to get county officer in

that much and he don't get the of

If the schedule had been strictly
followed in the justice courts yester
day, the day would have been mem
orab)e for the number of peculiar
and extraordinary cases heard. Al
it was, there was little doing, although
the postpenements of trials probably
means trouble for some OF the de
PENDANTS in the near future.
Mrs. Fred Hipschen, of the PENN
sula, who was arrested on the charge
Of breaEing quarantine. was arraign-
ed before Squire Shoemaker yester-
day afternoon. The justice OF the
peace does not have final Jurisdiction
in such cases and she was held in
800 bond to appear before the grand
jury in June.
The officers had considerable
trouble serving the warrants Of the
same description issued against
Lucinda and Nancy Jamison. After
chaaing about the city for an hour
or two, the officer found Lucinda and
served the warrant. 1t was alleged,
however.by nersel. and corroborated
by her mother that che had not been
st home since the quarantine was
established. This seems to have
been the case ard she was released.
Later in the afternoon, Nancy was
appreheuded by the officer and taken
before Justice Shoemaker. Her case
was knottv one. The justice did
not haye final jurisdiction, and had
either to send her to Jail or put her
under bond, The case against her
was clear. She could not give bond.
The only thing to do was send her to
Jail. Blu. the jailer would not have
her. He didn't want any scarlet
fever patients hanging around.
The court took broad view of
the situation and sent the girl home
with instructions TO stay there. He
also took the precaution to send a
guard along in the person of Dan
Dusenberry, who is now maintaining
strict watch outside of the Jamison
residence.
The cases of the State against
John Ernest and the State VS.. Joe
Mehlinger (two) were all continued
unit! next Tuesday. This was done
on account or the illness of Mr.. and
Mrs. Mehlinger. The prosecution
in both cases may decide to withdraw
the charges before that time.
