even on men the strain is destructive.

BOYS Enjoy DANGEROUS
SPORT ON NEW ASPHALT
Cossting Down Hill from Twelfth to
Eighth Avenue on Bicycles and
Carts

Since the completion of the Twenty
first street asphalt pavement the youths
of that locality are enjoying dangerous
sport in coasting down the hill on BIZ
cycles and carts. They start a the
top of the hill on Twelfth avenue and
run down 10 Eighth avenue AT a great
rate of speed and the wonder is that
there have not already been serious ac-
cidents. Two boys were thrown to the
pavement day or TWO ago. by a dog
running IN front of their cart as they
were going down the hill. The canine
went into the air several feet and the
boys went in the other direction, but
none were injured seriously. The resi-
dents of that locality say that any even
ing they can enjoy circus stunts that
make looping the loop look like jump
ing the rope.

The Illinois state University.

The installation. during the week
beginning with Oct u, of its new pres
ident. DR.. r. J. James. promises 10 be
a memorable event for the University
of Illinois The institution has an at
tendance of nearly 1000 students. 1t
is among the six great state universe
ties of the Mississippi valley whose
sphere of usefulness is broader than
that of the six greatest universities OF
the east. II has probably done more
for the promotion of agriculture and
other useful arts and sciences in Hi
.nOis than any one other institution in
the state. In the JeffeTsonian scheme
of public education it stands at the
head of the Illinois system of public
schools. receiving their graduates and
supplying the fountains of education
by which the lower schools thrive.
State universities, though always
nonsectarian. are not irreligiOus. for
the religious privileges of all denom-
nations are ever open 10 all the stu
dents This fact will be emphasized
by religious conference preceding the
installation of President James, the
presidents of a number OF other west
ern state universities taking part
therein
The Argus wishes President James d
prosperous and successful adm inistra-
zion of the great trust confded to him.
