RAISE TUITION
Trustees of Ripon College Decide That
Tt Is Necessary to Charge More

Ripon College has found it neces-
sary TO increase the cost of tuition
from $40 to 500 a year. This has be-
come. necessary through the unusual
growth of the college during the last
five years, increasing the cost of con
Quoting the institution, the employment
Of many new professors, improvements
to the buildings and the addition Of a
large amount of new apparatus.
The cost of running the college is
met in the major part through endow-
ments, the tuition Of the student fall
ing far short of the cost Of their indi-
vidual education. The customs in some
colleges are to charge a heavy tuition
and no incidentals small tuition with
large incidental fee, or no tuition
making the incidentals cover all the
costs. During the last year alone Ripon
has increased its faculty by five new
members, installed a new central heat
ing plant, refurnished nearly all the
dormitory rooms in West college, and
many of those in Smith Hall, remodeled
and refurnished Dawes cottage. This
increase will not affect those students
now in college, the former contracts
holding good throughout their college
course.

The Richmond Theater TRAGEDY.

The Richmond theater tragedy, in
which over seventy persons lost their
lives, was the first fatal fire in play
house in this country and naturally
caused almost national mourning. Not
only was it blow to theatricals in the
United States at the time, but for half
century it's history served as a text
for those who contended against the
theater generally as being a place of
vice and immortality A deep and last
ing impression was made upon the ma
ton by this horrible event, and for a
long time, for a season at least, the
calamity had the effect of keeping
from the playhouses many persons
who were in mortal fear of a repetition
of the fatality. Philadelphia Ledger.

On Opponents Floor 33 to 20
(From Saturdays Daily.)

(frOm saturdays Daily
Last night the K. III. S. basket ball
team journeyed to Chicago to play one
of the fastest high school teams Of
Chicago, Calumet. A few weeks ago
Calumet defeated the locals here by five
points and the victory last night came
as surprise to the players themselves.
Goal throwing by the home team was
very accurate and sometimes spectacu-
lar and called forth applause from the
large audience. Maddox jumped so
well at center that the signals worked
repeatedly. Westine and Lease, the
local forwards had exceptionally good
luck on field baskets. Purnell was able
to score three field goals although play
ing guard Curtis who played the other
guard put up fine game for his first
year at the game.
The Calumet boys treated the K. IL.
is. boys royalty. A fine supper was
served at 5 O'Clock by a girls sorority.
After this they went to the hall to clash
in one of the fastest high school games
ever played. AS this is the last out

school, the players are especially >elated
with this brilliant victory to close the
season. Final score was 33 to 90 The

determine
1t vas the Hayes Monnete strike that started this camp of N the most

VIRGIN CITY POSSESSES
FOUR PRODUCING WELLS

Goldfelders who are interested in
the Virgin City oil wells, across the
Nevada line in Utah, receive welcome
news in a report on that district made
by DIR. J. Affiek, a prominent operator
there, who has just arrived in Goldfeld.
DIR. Afhick says: "There are now
four producing wells at Virgin City,
which are capable of producing choice
parafine oil at the rate of from twenty
five to fifty barrels each daily. These
wells have not been shot and it is eer
tain that by the use of nitro-glycerine
the output could be several times multi
piled.
"SeEator Clark has promised to build
a branch from the Salt Lake, Los An
geles & San Pedro railroad as soon as
the production justiies. No holes are
dry that have been sunk to the oil
stratum"
