COLBY COLLEGE.
New Code of College Administrative
Rules Now in Force.

The new code of college admins
trative Rules" which has been receiv-
ing the attention of the members of
he faculty for some time. went into
effect, Thursday morning. The new
provisions of the code are much simp-
lcr than the multitudinous rules pre-
viously in force.
ON" of the difficulties that has been
met in the past is the frequent loss
of the keys to the rooms in the dormi-
cries. a deposit of one dollar upon
the receipt of a key is now required.
which amount is refunded at the end
of the college year. No change of
rooms can be made without the con-
sent of the faculty committee on
rooms.
The maintenance of order upon the
campus and in the dormitores is en-
trusted to the student committee of
The Board Of Conference.
No student shall leave Waterville in
term time without tho approval of his
advisor and the consent Of the presi-
dent.
A fixed system of ranking has been
adopted. Under the new rule the COM
bncd marks Of daily rccitations.
quiZZcs, articles and reports will be
given the value of - per cent, the
terminal examination, % per cent. In
case, however a student has been alb
sent for some reason approved by the
faculty, his terms rank may be deter
mined by examination alone.
A radical change has been made in
the manner Of dealing with "dcficien-
cics.' The now rule follows "A stu
dent who fills to secure 50 per cent.
in the terms mark thus constituted,
shall be required to take the deficient
course in class, or else prepare for a
special examination under a tutor ap-
proved by the head of the department
in which the deficiency exists.-the
latter method to be employed only in
| case the former proves impossible"
Hitherto it has been possible for a
student failing in course, to take a
deficiency examination" at the becin-
ming Of the following term, as is done
| III most colleges. The effect of the new
rule will have the result of raising the
standard of scholarship to a great de-
| gree.
| Chapel attendance has always been
| compulsory at Colby. but n formal ex-
cuse for absence has not been required
in recent years. This however. is now
the case. Students are also required
to attend public worship at least once
| each Sabbath.

Dexter Thursday morning. where he
attended the meeting Of the Eastern

address.

HOT SPRINGS HOTEL FIRE
HALF A DOZEN PERSONS PERISH

HEALTH RESORT,

Hot Springs, Ark, Oct 27.-Six bod
les have been taken from the ruins of
a railroad hotel located at the corner
of Elm and Olive streets here, which
was Quilted by fire early in the day.
OF these two unidentified are charred
beyond recognition.
The hotel is two-story frame build
ing containing thirty rooms, all but
one of which were occupied by from
one to four persons. The hotel was
patronized by invalids and cripples
who were under treatment.
The fire is believed to have been
caused by the explosion of lamp.
There was only one narrow exit, that
being a stairway, and dozens were
compelled to jump from the second
story, in many instances in their night
clothes. One man, Fred Diversion of
Hot Springs, was probably fatally in

BEAN HARVESTING.

Barns and ThrashiNE.

Cutting by MISUNDERSTANDING In
Barns and ThrashinG.
Formerly beans were pulled by hand,
but now the work is done almost exclu-
sively by machinery in the main dis
tricts. The bean harvester or cutter
shown here is a two wheeled machine,
having two long steel blades so ad-
justed that as the machine passes over
the ground they sweep along just at or
below tie surface and cut the bean
stalks or pull them up. The blades are
set obliquely, sloDing backward toward
one another and left in a single row.
Soon after the beans are pulled men
pass along with forks, throwing them
into SEAL punches.
After drying perhaps fer one day the
punches are turned and so moved that
three rows, as left by the puller, are
made into one, leaving space between
the rows to drive through with a wag

Attorney Fawcett Pays His Respects
to Jacob Heyl.

Milwaukee, Oct. 27. - Attorney
Charles F. Fawcett was unsparing of
Jacob Heyl in the opening argument
for the contestants of the Schandein
will in Judge Carpenters court. Mr..
Fawcett declared that Heyl was a
parasite--that everything he has now,
an income three times as great as
that of the president of the United
States, is due to his benefactor.

Jacob Heyl ever neglected all oDpor-
tunity to take advantage of this wo-
man. declared Mr.. Fawcett.
81 will &c further | will say that
he never neglected to create an oppor-
tunity to take advantage of Mrs. Schan-
dein.
"Heyl was Mrs. Schandeins shadow
after the dcath of her husband, whose
relations with his son-in-law were not
cordial. Heyl went with Mrs. Schan-
dein everywhere. The fact that these
confidential relations existed between
Mr.. Heyl and Mrs. Sshandein are pre-
sumptive of undue influence"

on. If drying weather prevails they
will become fit for drawing and storing
in the barns without further turning,
but if the weather is unfavorable the
punches must be frequently turned to
prevent the beans in those pods resting
on the ground from becoming dam

To the foregoing In American Agri-
culturist Professor J. L. Stone adds
that wet weather does not injure the
crop seriously provided the beans are
not allowed to rest on the wet ground
long at time, but the frequent turn

The occupancy Of the new annex adds
another link to a chain of remarkable
mercantile achievements OF the firm of
j. L. Brandeis & Sons. From very mod
est beginning in Omaha nearly twenty five
years ago, the store has grown until the
proprietors are regarded as Omaha's cap
tains of retail industry.
The members of the firm state that the
occupancy of the annex is only to be re-
garded as the first step in the progress
or the new store and the work toward
the completion of the eight story structure
In Its entirety will be pushed with all
possible energy. Steel columns will be
placed and riveted by compressed air dur
Ing the winter, regardless OF weather CON
ditions. In order to hurry this work more
than ever, an electric derrick has been
established and will be employed In the

time the frost is out of the ground in the
spring the proprietors expect to see the
major part of the immense building out
