THE PRIZES
ANNOUNCED
JACQUES LARAMIE GIFT OF TEN
DOLLARS AND BENNETT
PRIZE OF TWENTY-FIVE.
Miss Amy Abbot Awarded the First,
the Second Going to Marcus Walk
er-Decision in First Prize So
Close as to Require Some Thought
Upon Part of Judges.

At assembly at the University of
Wyoming this morning, President It's
del announced that the Jacques Lar
annie chapter prize of $40 for the best
essay on THE Overland Trail had
been awarded to Miss Amy Abbot and
the Bennett prize of S25 for the best
essay on The Principles of Free Gov
eminent" had been awarded to Marcus
Walker. There were five contestants
for the Jacques Laramie prize and two
for the Bennett prize. The Bennett
prize consists of the income from $500
donated for the purpose through Hon.
w. j. Bryan of Lincoln, Neb. The
other prize is donated by the local
chapter of the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution.
Judges Took Second Ballot.
The judges in the Jacques Laramie
prize were Mrs. Jesse Arnold Stone of
Evanston, Mrs. H. b. Patten of Chey-
enne and Rev. J. H. Moore of Wheat
land. The judges in the Bennett prize
contest were Hon. T. F. Burke of
Cheyenne, Judge J.. c.. Parmalee of Buff
falo and Rev. Frank Moore of Chey-
enne. 1t is said that the judges in
the Jacques Laramie prize were not a
unit upon the first ballot, Misses Alb
bot, Neva Nelson and Margaret Nc
Intosh each receiving n vote. The
decision was reached when one of the
other judges anne to an agreement on
Miss Abbot. There was great merit
in all the essays, and the points of diff
ference between the three highest
were so small that it was possible to
convert one of the judges to form a
majority.
Good Results Coming.
Dr.. Tisdel believes these prizes are
doing much to foster good work on
the part of the pupils, and hopes they
will be continued. The information
contained in the papers will be of vast
Importance to the future historians of
the state and will be preserved. The
chapter deserves and will receive the
praise of the people of the state, as
well as the giver of the Bennett fund.

House Without a Chimney

The only man in modern times who

stove or chimney-H. w. Hillman of
Schenectady, N. Y.-entertainingly de-
scribes his experiences in Technical
World Magazine for July.
Eve entered the new house in Sep
tember, 1905. The electric kitchen
equipment was connected within two
minutes from the time the table was
taken off the wagon; and there was
no waiting around for the stove man
to come and connect up the stove, fit
the stovepipe, build the fire, etc For
nearly three years we have cooked
and baked by electricity daily, and
the new kitchen, therefore, has no
coal or gas range.
''As regards costs of operating, the
most intelligent way to explain this
item is to draw comparisons with
monthly cost of operating with coal
and gas. The writer has had ten
years experience with kitchen range
with coal at $3.50 per ton on the aver

destroyer Of cabbages and iettuces
will bluff itself into veritable arm
ored cruiser and frighten many more
formidable insects into ungovernable
fight It's method OF procedure is
like this: Immediately anything ap-
proaches, the slow moving, fat cater
pillar raises its hairy body, wags a
formidable looking head and looks the
essence OF strength and defiance, so
much SO that 1t requires bird of a
particularly valiant disposition to at
tack it.-Chicago Record-Herald.

Many readers will be surprised to

A College President.

President William K. Harper of the University of Chicago, who died yes terday was the foremost of the new school of college presidents, of whom Nicholas Murray Butler, Woodrow Wilson and David Starr Jordan are eminent types. President Harper may be regarded as, if not the founder of, the school, the first product of it. He was distinct from the old-tinle college president, who, by the way, survives in the smaller colleges and universi- ties in an atmosphere of mustiness and learning, in I world apart from the activities of the present day Ex- ecutive control in inc sense of finan- cial management had no place amid the functions of tae college president Of the last ana earlier generations. All that was left tc grossar spirits. It frequently happened, therefore, that the influence of the president and his associates of the faculty upon the fu- ture active life of the graduates was nil or worse. Out of this state of affairs arose a question as to the profitable ness of a college education. This was widely and earnestly discussed until comparatively recently.
