UNIVERSITY PROSPEROUS.
Financial Report Filed by Board Of
REGENTS is Very ENCOURAGING,

Iowa City July 27.-Unprecedented
prosperity at the University of Iowa
was shown in the financial report filed
by Secretary w. j. McChesney, of the
board of regents This report proves
that the university during 1906 1906
broke all records in both attendance
and fiscal affairs.
The grand total of moneys received
was $4,000, passing the highest pre-
vious receipts (s440000), and the eX-
penditures reached $5l6, .34-the
largest amount hitherto spent being
$47s,0OO in a single year.
State appropriations, for buildings
and current expenses, account partly
for the increase, while the buttons
paid by students, who outnumbered
all predecessors, account for the rest.
The university spent $27S.000 for
general support, and s203,911.S9 for
permanent improvements, including d
hall of science, in course of erection.
which has thus far cost $169,072.4S.
The new lands cost bit more thar
$4,000, and $500 was spent for a
dam The regents will complete he
Science Hall the coming year, and
erect another wing to the hospital,
a hydraulic power house Tor the dam,
and a steam engineering laboratory
for the engineering college. A con-
meeting corridor for the hospital wings
will also be constructed.

FORCES RETIREMEN

NEW YORK, April 1.-The Herald to-
morrow will say: Promises that Senator
Depew would return to his place of duty
by this time have not been fulfilled, for
the reason that hopes of his family for a
complete restoration of his health have
been disappointed. He is still in retire
ment on the Elliott F. Sheppard estate,
back of Scarborough-on-Hudso where
he has been in seclusion for month since
he suddenly left Washington.
So closely is the Senator guarded that
only a few persons living in the imme-
diate ueighborhood are able to say from
their own knowledge that he Is in THE
villa" as the house is known, as extreme
measures have been taken to check the
rapid decline into which it has seemed for
several months he has been falling
If any. employe on the Shepard place Is
questioned as to the Senator, he answers
either with a well-simuiated stare OF
amazement or fatty denies that he has
ever heard a report as to the Senators 8
whereabouts.
But here and there can be found one or
two to admit having seen Mr.. Depew.
Every pleasant day recently he has been
taken for q ride In an automobile, and
several times he has taken children OF
the neighborhood as companions. Except
for caretakers, Senator Depew Is prac-
tica1ly alone on the 200-acre estate.
