Carl Richardson Tells of Opening OF
Big School

The State University of Iowa OPEN
ed on Wednesday the 10th of Sept.
with an attendance never equalled in
its history before. 1t is said here,
that there are 900 freshmen. The
engineering department has shown
large increase, in fact there are so
many freshie" engineers, the new
building is not large enough to ac-
comodate them, and one section of the
class has been given quartres in the
old building. for the present. The
medic and law departments have also
shown decided increase. truly the
people of Iowa are coming to appre-
ciate the influence of their home un-
iveristy.
The annual class scrap of the Lib
eral Arts department., came off Satur-
day morning. The Sohmore class had
freshman hung in effigy to tree
upon the campus, they also had in the
tree a can of fresh milk, and then
proceeded to catch the freshmen and
hold them while the fellows in the
tree soused them with the milk.
This led to the scrap proper. The
freshmen decidedly had the better of
the fight, although they did not sue
coed in getting the effigy down. The
freshmen would rush into the bunch
and carry off sophy, and then he
was doomed to thorough ducking In
the river or he water trough and
many a luckless sophy got theirs.
Scrap lasted for three hours and was
then decided in favor of the upper
classmen.
The fights of the other departments
are all scheduled for next week.

corted without physical restraint to

turned over to the custody of Chicago

freedom became more pronounced
After having waived his extraditior

hotel for luncheon with his son, Theo

Stensland's condition, both mental
and physical, seemed vastly improved

pleased at the prospect of getting
back to Chicago.
With Stensland on the train are
Assistant States Attorney Olson, De

final word of the returning official as
he left New York was that he was

legation, although not the direct OBJ
ject of the planned outrage, had a
narrow escape from being blown up
by the Finnish refugee revolutionists
who We're arrested here Sept %, and
was only saved by the timely arrest of
the conspirators. 1t appears that the
latter intended to rob the state bank,
occupying part of the same premises
as the legation. The Films had
planned first to empty the vaults OF
the bank and then raze the building
with dynamite, fifty pounds of which
were found in their possession. The
men arrested declare the attempt
will be repeated by others.

WEAIHER-cRoP BULLETIN.

The past week was quite variable
in temperature, and in the distrlbu-
ton of rainfall. In the west central
and northern districts there was a
general prevalence of cool and wet
weather, but in other portions of the
state the average temperature was
above normal. and the rainfall was
generally light. The amount of
moisture in the soil is now ample for
pasturage and fall blowing, except in
portions of the east central and south
east districts, where more rain is
needed. The late corn has made
good progress toward maturity except
in the districts where wet and cloudy
weather prevailed. Corn harvesting
is in progress in all sections, with an
increased acreage in shock in districts
where dairying is the leading industry.
Many crop reporters state that corn
is nearly all safe, but conservative
estimates indicate that from 10 to 20
per cent of the crop is not as we'll
matured as could be desired to with
stand killing frost. The crop as
whole will be better and sounder if
frostless weather prevails until Octo-
Der 9Th. which is about the average
date of killing frosts in Iowa. In
the southern half of the state the
bulk of the crop is now reported to be
practically safe. The larger amount
of immature corn is in the central and
north central districts. where there
has been heavy rainfall and rank
growth of stalks.
