Speaker Clague believes the code will
pass. He said today.
! "Two weeks ago there seemed to be
a strong sentiment in the house in ia
vor of deferring action. Tt has changed
now, and nearly all I have talked with
are in favor Of adopting the code be-
fore we adjorn. It will be hard task,
but if it is not done now we are likely
bo to get shana 30 as aSe
tie departure from the present laws,
and thus it will not be Objectionable
to any INTEREST,"
, The code will probably be reported
IN to the house Monday afternoon and
plan agreed on for it's consideration.
For time the house may do regular
business at the morning sessions, and
consider the code afternoons
If the attempt to pass it is given up
The leading members favor an early adj
iournment with an understanding that
the governor will call an extra session
three senators and four representa-
tives will be created to take the code
and the amendments prepared, and
frame a new code. All other business
Is to be barred from the extra session
by special rules, so the code can be
: taken mp and adopted without pro-
tracted session.

New Ulm, MINI, Feb. 25.-There is
much local interest in the story now
being told that bunch of keys was
picked up by an undertaken in the room
where the body Of the murdered DR..
Gebhardt was found. The keys were
on a ring similar to one DR.. Koch is
alleged to have carried.
A short time before the trial the un-
dertaker went to Los Angeles, and has
but recently returned. Upon being
questioned, he says but one key was
found.
An attorney for the state questioned
about the handwriting on the poison
bottle, said the defense had retained
+. J. Toland as an expert. He affirmed
that Toland had several times offered
his services to the state as we'll as those
Of his penmanship director, Professor
Courtney of La Crosse.
In the opinion Of the staet g attor.
neys there is sufficient evidence relat.
Ing to the poison bottle to trace it to
DR.. Koch, and they declare that expert
testimony is not needed.
The state IS attorney said it would BE
shown that the poison bottle was
marked, and that DR.. Koch attempted
to place it in the Hanska postoffice, but
finding the aperture too small, he took
it to the station and handed it to the
mail agent, who will so testify.

College life in England differs so
greatly from the life Of the American

NEW DANGERS FOR RUSSIA
Deluded Peasants Taking Possession o.
Land and Resisting Army Service.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 25.-The begin
nings of very dangerous movement
have been observed among the peas
antry Of some Of the southern prov
inces, where revolutionary agitators are
circulating reports that the emperor
will, on March 4, issue a manifesto pro-
viding for a general division of lands.
Of the moujiks ever since emancipa-
tion, and, according to private reports,
the stories have spread like wildfre
and are implicitly believed. +.
In the. government Of lula large
proprietor went to his estate last week
and found the peasants at work meas
uring off and stalking their shares. In
response to his demands for an expla-
nation they told him of the coming
manifesto.
Peasantry Will Be Stubborn.
Refusing to listen to his declaration
that the report was absurd, they would
only say, 1--WE have heard the little
father has decided.' When the pro-
prietor asked what would become of
him, they replied: sOh, we will leave
you the buildings and forty acres
Once the peasantry become possessed
Of the idea that the emperor has willed
a division Of land, it will be exceed
ingly difficult to disabuse their minds,
and agrarian troubles on large scale
are feared. The moujiks are likely to
turn upon the proprietors as they did
several years ago in the provinces Of
Saratoff and Poltava, when almost COM
plete anarchy reigned for some time.
Among the reservists agitators are
spreading the story that the war is
over. A case is cited which occurred
a fortnight ago at Riazan, where 200
reservists who had been called in, fatty
told the officer they did not intend to
serve. -
Believe War Is Over.
"The war is over,' said the leader;
1--WE know you simply want to make
money out Of a contract for feeding
us. We will not serve,' and off they
marched. An instance is also given Of
reservistss who actually left railway
train after they had started for the
front. J. r~.,.
Private reports also leave no room
for doubt that the strikes in the whole
region below Moscow are almost en-,
tirely political in, character: The sit
uation generally in the south Of Rus
ter, and contains many factors which
are causing the authorities the great
est alarm. The possibility Of the neces-
sity for the dispatch Of additional
troops to the Caucasus is already being
considered.
Another factor that is causing grave
concern is the actual difficulty Of
transporting enough oommissary sup
plies for feeding the army at the front.
These constantly increasing difficulties
are strengthening the peace party.

The American student is struck by

scrimmages at the beginning Of The sea-
son to choose the most agile and nervy
men and after that the team meets only
on the days Of the contests. A man
who never played before has been given
a responsible position on the team. As
a rule the games are played on midweek

are few spectators and no cheering.
This characteristic does not appeal
strongly to the American students.
On the whole, Mr.. Wallace thinks
that English college life is more con-
ducive to study and so many side issues
and fads are not allowed to enter it.
Oxford is an excellent place for the
American to take his final degrees; the
general education is broadened and
erroneous ideas concerning the English
are soon banished.
