HIS REWARD.

Again the Russian empire has
been dynamited. For Sergius rep
resented the Russian empire as
grand ducalism has made it, more
than Nicholas or another. And to-
day, at Moscow, the ancient capital
of the empire, this grand duke Of
the ancient empire, together with
his policy. was shattered into bits
by the bombof Russian aspirations

small wonder that Nicholas, the
cowardly, covers in..his fastness at
the Tsarkoe Seloe, and that the
grand dukes are laying low, won

explode which will demand the
next victim according to the sched-
ule or fate and the anarchs.
It might have been permitted to
lament VonPlehve; he, at least,
had ability, had vitality. and polit-
ical bigot as he was, reactionary as
was his policy, he was yet capable
because of his capacity, of learn

Sergius had none of these qualities
and he was a bulwark of the Rus

this uncle of the Gear had much

was more directly the heir to the
Terrible than Nicholas. He was
the most powerful of the dukes,
the most unenlightened, the most
uninlightenable. Not ray of mod
ern illumination had ever pene-
trated his Slavic brain. He no
more belonged to this age than
Louis Eleventh or Phillip
Second. And he was not restrained
in his medievialism by the fear
somewhat hedged about
those two King Terrors of the mod
ern dawn. Sergius was even too
bold to protect himself with the
usual grand ducal protection. He
went abroad surrounded by guards
but this was as much a matter of
state as of protection. He was tqb

That Arizona is very well able to run a state government with out being joined to New Mexico, is apparent from figures quoted by the Arizona Republican. The territory is on a strictly cash ba- sis and on July 1, the first day of Arizona's fiscal year, had $272,- 676 in cash Tn its treasury. The territory had a bonded debt of a million dollars and a taxable as- sessment of over $45,OOO.O O.OOO- exceeding that of New Mexico. The total indebtedness of all the counties and municipalities ag- gregates $2,OOO,OOO, it is true, but that is less than five per cent of the total assessment. Ari- zona's five per cent. bonds com- mand a premium of ten cents on the dollar in the money markets and taken altogether there can be no financial reason why Ari- zona should not be given state hood upon its own merits.

 The teamsters strike, that has so greatly disturbed business conditions in Chicago for the past three months, has been off cially declared off by members of the Teamsters' Joint Union.

Of Lander, pulled the wool over the
eyes of the other members of the
board of trustees of the state agri,

Mr.. Ware never at any time

guilty parties punished.
Mr.. Wroe has made the statement to
three prominent citizens of Lander that
he received but $4,000 of the $4,000
paid out of the Weiser money for his
ranch. Steps have already been taken
to bring the matter to the attention of
the attorney general of the state for
action. The evidence of guilt against
Trustee Hardin of the college board, is
conclusive and will be given in cOurt at
the proper time. 1t is to be regretted

Course Of Study Strengthened To Cor.
respond With Those of Other Tech
nicaI Branches Of State Institution
Interesting Session Of Commit
tee Yesterday Afternoon.

h executive committee of the
beard of trustees of the University of
wyoming held its regular monthly
meeting at the Office Of DR.. Grace Ray
mond Hebard, the secretary of the
beard, yesterday afternoon, and dis
posed of a considerable accumulation
OF routine business, including the Jan.
uary salary list and other bills. The
members of the committee were in
session until nearly 6 o'clock.
The committee adopted the stronger
course for the normal department. At
the meeting OF the board of trustees
in December it was decided to
strengthen a number of the courses at
the university, the normal course by
some accident being overlooked, and
the work was done yesterday, the re-
vision to appear in the annual cata-
logue to be issued this summer. The
normal course is now on a par with
the other technical courses at the uni
versity and with similar courses in
other states.
1t was decided to add one more year
to the regular normal course. making
that course five years instead of four
as at present. The pupil starting in
the preparatory school and attending
two years goes to the normal for three
years. receiving upon graduation the
degree B. Ped, common to graduates
of normal schools. If he so desires,
he may take two years more of normal
training, making seven in all, receiving
the degree A. B. in Education. This
requires three year in the preparatory
school and four years in the normal
college.
By the change the graduates of the
normal college now rank with gradu
ates from similar colleges in other
states. The course has been greatly
strengthened. the graduate from the
longer course being prepared to &C,

At the December meeting this limo,

neering and the other branches. but
the normal was overlooked and the
change Is made in the interest Of the
large number of pupils in that college.
1t will be exploited at the coming
county teachers institutes and is e
pected to result in an increased at

growing demand for good teachers.

tions realized. 1t is needed, the better
