Erred LAST NIGHT.

AT the regular meeting of the board OF
education last night communication from
the District Commissioners was formally
presented stating that there is a credit OF
s1T6.5O from the investment Of the beQuest
of 5000 provided in the will Of William
Gait, for procuring medals and other suit
able rewards for deserving students. Plans
for the proper distribution Of the money
will be devised by the superintendent, to
whom the matter was referred.
The matter OF the payment of tuition
charges by non-residents, called up by the
case of Mrs. L. H. EARL of Chevy Chase,
Nd, was decided by communication from
Corporation Counsel Thomas to the effect
that a nonresident who pays taxes by the
collection of rents In the city cannot be
construed as engaging in business in the
city, and Is not exempt from the payment
of tuition charges.
The suggestion of Harrison Stidham, re-
firing superintendent of street cleaning,
that fifty trash boxes be erected on poles
in front of school buildings and asking for
approval of the plan, was referred to the
District Commissioners.
The request of the Woman's Army and
Navy League for the donation of books and
magazines to be sent to the soldiers in the
Philippines Will be honored. as Is the GUS
tom of the board.

to represent the university in the de-

The Downey brothers are the sons
of Mrs. S. w. Downey of this city,
born and reared here, both having at
tended the common schools and both
having been students at the Univer.

that their late father, Colonel S. w.

SO that they may well be looked upon
with pride as representing that state
institution at the greater university.
Both will have opportunity at Chicago
of meeting their sister, Prof. June

here congratulate them and unite in
