He is recovering rapidly from his illness.
 Walla Walla, Sept. 22-There are iifty-nine cases of typhoid fever in the state prison at this placr, and more are appearing daily. The physicians are unable to com bat with the disease. It is pro hab.e that some extensive changes will have to be made in the prison san- iration, which is thought to be re- sponsible for this epidemic. St. Paul, Sept 23-L. D. Ellis, formerly wealthy speculator of Minneapolis, was arrested on the streets for begging. At his hearing this morning he plead guilty. Ellis was at one time very wealthy but lost his fortune in board of trade speculations.
 Bellefontaine, O., Sept. 23--Vice- Pres. Fairbanks opened the repub- lican state campaign at meeting here to day. He confessed that the system of rebates practiced by the railroads is an evil that must be settled. but not as party politics. IL is his idea that the matter should he attended to on the lines of strict justice, and asserts that congress can be trusted to uphold the rights of the people in this affair when he proper time comes.
 Athens, Sept. 25-The rupture between this country and Rouma- nia promises to assume alarming proportions. It is semi-oilicially announced that the government has sent an ultimatum to Rou- mania, but no action has been taken as yet.
 Portland, Sept. 25-The Exposi- ton is nearing the closing time. Unless the project now under ad- visement to keep the gates open until late in the winter and charge ten cent admission fee carries, tho fair will close Oct. If. An average attendance of r. ,000 daily has been the record of the exposi- tion. Among the best exhibits shown were those from Alaska which have attracted much atten- tion. The work of the schools of Alaska especially has been mar vicious.
 New York, Sept. 25-Tammany is at work on reconstruction of tine party platform, Il has been practically decided lo insert a plank demanding that the people own all public utility franchises.
 Nladivostock. Sept. 25-The ces- sation of hLstilities has caused Il resumption of business here. The inhabitants are returning by thous- ands. Forty-fye steamers, carry ing people who left here fearing that the town would be besieged, are due tomorrow.
 Chicago. Sept p - President Stick0ey, of the Chicago Great Western Railroad, at hearing be- fore interstate commerce commis- sion, testified that the meat pack CTS forced the railroads to make rebates which caused the recent convictions of meat trust officials. The fines imposed on these officials a few days ago, while proving the possibility Of obtaining convictions, do not satisfy the prosecution, and it is probable that action will again be started in such manner as to make the conviction of higher off cials certain.
 Washington, Sept. 25-Through the influence of secretary Elihu Root an appointment will probably be given to James Drain, adjutant general of the state of Washington, in the consular service of South America.

FROM KING
SOLOMON
Menelik, of Abyssinia, Claims
Direct Descent.

BERLIN, June 1i.-Dr. Rosen,
Minister elect to Morocco. has returnd
from Ads Ababa, Abyssinia. where
he had gone as special envoy of Ger
many to King Menellk for the purpose
of concluding a commercial treaty
between Abyssinia and this country
DIR. Rosen's personal estimate OF KING
Menellk, whose language he speaks,
and whose associate he was for some
weeks Is that he Is essentially a man
of sound morals and excellent princi-
pies, and that, in the main, he lives
up to these principles. DIR. Resen says
that KING Menelik' 3 easy rule over the
feudal district Kings and Chiefs Is
due to his quick mind and mild. con-
ciliatory disposition, supported by oc.
casional severity. He always keeps his
word, doing what he says he will do,
and Is just to the traditions of his
country.
King Menelik's own belief, accord.
ing to DR.. ROseu. is that he is des-
cended from a son of Solomon and the
Queen OF Sheba that this son, who
was called Prince Menelik the First.
with following of picked men, Jews
and Sabians, went into Ethiopia and
lived and thrlved there, and that these
Jews were the founders of the present
Abssinian race.
Menelik the First IS presumed to
have taken the Ark o. the Covenant
with him, and it is still asserted to
Ee In a emple at Akhum. No European
has even seen il, and it has not been
seen even by the present ruler Of Abys-
slnla himself. only priests of high
grade who are unmarried being permit
ted to go behold it.

PRAISE FOR
PROF. HARDY
Students Paper Pays Him De-
served Tribute.

The Senior, college paper published
by the seniors of Southwestern Univer
sIty at Georgetown, Texas, contains the
following notices of Prof. j. G. Hardy
/ one of tho principals Of the Columbia
Military Institute, and of Prof. G. G
Cody, q member of the faculty:
Prof. J. G. Hardy.
Probably no man has done more for
Southwestern il the limited time that
he has had Since he leaves US til is
year, we must needs remember what he
has done. for truly he has left foot.
prints. Prof. Hardy is man of sterling
worth. His characteristic IS capacity
for work-its accomplishment, and the
enthusiasm with which he does it.
Prof Hardy graduated from South
western with fret honors in 1896. He
went to Vanderbilt and after year or
so was elected as Assistant Professor in
German and Latin. Then II 1903 he
came to Southeastern, having been
elected to the chair of German.
1t SCENE impossible that man could
have done 80 much. He has been with
Us two years. In this time he has SUI
pervised athletics, worrying it out of
debt more than once. He has also
served as the Secretary Treasurer or the
State and Southwestern Athletic Asso-
citation.
He instigated the Glee Club and
helped to organize it.
He has established the Annual, the
Sou wester.
He was the real cause Of the fence
around the campus-though opposed by
numerous obstacles.
And now as a browning memorial
he hes gathered together the notes
amounting to "a. 232 with which to
establish an up-to-date. comfortable,
Toomy gymnasium.
Throughout his dealings with athlet-
les he has done more to encourage clean
athletics among the college than can be
imagined.
Prof. Hardy is a whole souled, life
loving. college bred man. He enjoys
life from every standpoint.

demands respect and good work, with
the faculty, he IS an influential mem

enjoying their sports, approaching
their efforts, and interested in their
school affairs Probably the only
fault that could be found with Prof.
Hardy is his demand for work. He is
dissatisfied unless the student does as
much as he could do under the same
clrcumstances-and incidentally we
will remark that that is plenty.
Southwestern will miss him and his
jealous work. yet they feel honored
with him that he is given the pIinci
palshlp of a popular school at Colum-
Dia, Tennessee-the Columbia Militia
ry Institute. May success fill your
cup, Prof. Hardy, and may it be
sweetened with peace, joy and happi-
ness.
