CHAPEL HILL, N. c., Septmereb 10.
"A telegram containing an announce
ment of the death of Captain Romy
Story, which came to the varsity toot-
ball team few minutes after O'CLOCK
this morning has cast q cloud over tho
whole student body. Story had been
student at the university for the past
three years, and mad MADE quite an
envia bic reputation for himself as an
athlete. He had distinguished himself
in both baseball and football. having
|had the honor of being captain of the
football team for the past two years
and of the baseball team for this year.
He left here last spring in sound
health, and when the news came this
fall that he was in bed with fever,
while expressions of regret went up
from all sides at his not being able
to-. be here and take charge of the
team at the opening. yet no one had
any doubt but that his superb physical
condition would enable him to con-
valesce rapidly, and return to the uni
versity before the season had advanced
very far. His sudden death has struck
a serious blow to athletics here, as we'll
as deprived the university of one OF
her most loyal and devoted sons.
For Clean Sport.
Story was man of unusual physi-
| cal strength and ability. Ills record
| as an athlete and a student during his

kind in which he would indulge. Start

would have been the climax to one of
the most successful college careers In

by university student.

AS man, Story was kind and gen

with his almost Irresistible personality,
made him perhaps the most popular

THE STATE HAS NO INSURANCE
Oregon Capital Building and Contents
Without Insurance Protection.

An announcement which will be a
surprise to many taxpayers of Oregon
is made by Secretary of State T. I.
Dun bar, in his report to the legisla-
ture, upon retiring from Office on De-
cemEer 81. In regard to the absence
of fire insurance on the Oregon state
capitol and contents, he says:
respectfully direct your attention
as the attention of nearly every pre-
ceding legislative assembly has been
directed, by the reports of this depart
ment, to the fact that there is no fire
insurance covering the capitol build
ing or its contents. !
No Legislature has authorized the
placing OF insurance on the building
or contents, or made an appropria-
tion to cover the cost of same. The
building is equipped with fair water
system, which is inspected from time
to time, and it is also guarded as
carefully as possible by the janitors
and night watchman.
The approximate cost of the building
and contents excepting the library,
is $500,00 The library is increasing
in value yearly. If in your Judgment,
the building should be covered by
some insurance, an appropriation
should be. made therefor.

Frenzied religion in the form of the
crushing OF old sacred doctrines, the
dethronement of church creeds of
long standing, in fact. the abolish

church holds dear, is gaining ground in
the Holiness movement which nightly

But then the "free for all" feature

when the spirit moves You. Shout

that this is the "only" religion that
makes you an absolutely free soul.
From all appearances people go TO
these meetings to see how excited their
minds can become, how frenzied they
can work themselves to and how much
they can abuse all other religions and
sects who do not believe as they do.
They are sincere in that they belong

But the movement is rapidly gain
ing ground. The association here are
nightly adding converts and they hope
soon to organize themselves perma-

have to be reokoned with among other
denominations. Unlike any other scot,
they do not believe in any forms what
ever, and move much as the "Grace of
God directs them"
