How California University Students
 Laid n Cement "C" on a Hill.

Action which in the opinion of the university men is destined to be his- toric was taken by the freshmen and sophomores of the University of Cali fornia at Berkeley the other morning when nearly 200 of them toiled for four hours in a drzzle of rain to lay in .ce- ment the big e. on Charter hill, says dispatch from Berkeley, Cal.
 For fortnight coll2e men, profess ors and others, argued the propriety of fixing the gigantic symbol on the hill back of Berkeley, but the faculty opin- ion. adverse to the project, did not de- ter the youths from carrying out their original plan. A few conservative mem- bers of tile two classes proposed wait ing until the next week to build the big C." preferring that the undertaking should be conducted while the skies were clear and the sun shining. but this proposal was rejected by the hardy spirits.
 These men gathered at s o'clock in the morning at the foot of Charter hill and were divided into gangs under the direction of bosses.
 Some of the toilers wore rubber coats, but these were found to inter- fere with the work, so they were cast aside, and the students carried cement up the hill in sacks, while the rain wet them to the skin. At a point 300 feet above the level the cement was mixed and from there was wheeled in bar rows to the spot marked out for the construction of the letter
 The big "C" is fifty feet long and forty feet wide. It is so large that pas sengers on incoming steamers can see it from the bay. while it will be visible to every one in the neighborhood of Berkeley. The e. is so laid out as to be in perfect perspective from the Key route mole and California football field. Solid as granite, it is destined to re- main.
 At noon the weary workers partook o' luncheon served in Hearst hall by the "co-eds" of the university. The whistle on the mining building called the men to lunch. and once seated the men found scores of college girls to wait upon them with coffee and other adjuncts of luncheon. This was the share of the work given to the girl stu dents of the sophomore and freshmen classes. and they did their part admi- rabI-, according to the verdict of the men

In tearing down an old schoolhouse at Carey, O., the other day, workmen found copies of Toledo and Cincinnati newspapers dated 1858 which were in a fair state of preservation and easily read. The kind of material put into the paper on which newspapers are printed nowadays would eat itself up with the acid it contains. However, paper then cost about 10 cents per pound, while the price for that used now is less than 3. Of course change of processes of manufacture have much to do with the change, yet the raw material used is entirely different. II was mostly rags then. Now it is chiefly clay, wood and acid.

HEARD IN PASSING

The desire of the Kansas Oil Pro- ducers association that the president should personally conduct the investi- gation into the affairs of the Standard Oil Company is very considerate. Per haps they would like him to act as the clerk and bookkeeper of the associa- ton also. He has nothing else to do. -BridgepOrt Standard.
 The recurrence of mine explosions, each disastrous to greater or less ex- tent, is forcibly illustrative of the fact that familiarity with danger breeds contempt for there is not the slight est doubt that at least three-quarters of such disasters are due to careless ness on the part of the miners them- selves.-Springfield Union.
 John o. Davidson, Wisconsin's new governor, landed at Castle Garden ;j2 years ago a Norwegian youth, aged Is years. He was as green as the prOvcr- bial immigrant, carrying his worldly possessions slung on stick over his shoulder. His passage money from the old world to the new had beeu borrowed, and when he set foot on the land of the free he had just enough coin to carry him to the northwest. His rise has been rapid and well deserved. New Haven Palladium.

Kenmare Journal: A party living
northwest Of town was arrested on a
serious criminal charge last week. A
hearing was had before Justice Makee
Saturday afternoon, when the prison
er was discharged, the evidence show
ing conclusively that the charge was
the outcome OF malice and could not
be substantiated. A young girl was
made to suffer as well. Her good
name, and her future were lost sight
of by her parents in their desire for
revenge. Had the charge been true,
the ordinary mother would have done
her utmost to shield her child from
the gaze Of morbid and inqufsitive
public, but in this case, the poor child
was trotted through the streets, in
the stores and public places to be
gazed upon and commented about.
