Knocked Insensible.

ELKHORN, Wis, Feb. 1O.-[Spe-

find out it's nature. He gave it a blow
and it exploded with a roar, badly burn

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 12.-[Speciall
1t is rumored here that a successor to

normal school has been considered by
persons connected with the normal

the next appointee would have to be IN
sympathy with a movement to remove
the president of the Superior normal.

cial. Both the present normal school
regent, Z. II. Crownhart and his prede-
cessor, Frank A. Ross, deny that there
has ever been a definite step taken with
a view to choosing a successor to Presi-
dent Mcneil. They both admitted, how
ever, that they had knowledge of a ru-
NOR to the effect that there might be
an effort to place a new man.
Il do not believe that there is any
thing whatever to the story, however"
said Mr.. Ross. 'Mr. Mcneil has al

Superior as far as / know. The board
OF normal school regents considers him
one of the best presidents in the state.
Il understand that the rumOr Origlnat-

it and the chances are that it is decided

there might be something to it. An
