general conference at Baltimore re-
moves from Mitchell and state n OF
its most prominent educators and who
has been identified with all the prog
ress that has been made in that line
since he has been here. AS the presi.
dent of Dakota Wesleyan university.
DR.. Nicholson has built the institution
up to a high place among the edu.
cational institutions of South Dakota.
possessing the largest enrolment OF
students Of any college in the state.
In a financial way DR.. Nicholson has
been successful in securing an endow-
ment for the university OF $100, 900.
one-fourth of which was presented by
Andrew Carnegie. Outside Of that
gift the president has had fine success
in other quarters in securing money
for aid of the institution. The faculty
has been increased in number and
quality under his administration, and
he had mapped out a greater progress
sion in this line for the future, which
his ~ces will undoubtedly carry
out.
DR.. Nicholson has been largely in
strumental in building up a stronger
bond of friendship between the town
and the university. When he came
here over six years g there was a
dividing line between the two, but he
obliterated 1t in a short time, and
there are some very strong financial
supporters in the city for the college.
Nothing has been done as yet to-
ward securing a OF Presi-
dent Nicholson, but the matter will
be taken up by the board OF trustees
at their annual meeting next week
during commencement week of the
university.

State News of Interest
MOST STUDENTS DEFIANT.
Testimony Isn't Easy to Get Regard.
ing Their Voting Election Day.

Testimony Isn't Easy to Get Regard
ing Their Voting Election Day.
Twenty-eight students Of Dakota
Wesleyan have given their testimony
before a referee appointed by Judge
Smith of the circuit court, wherein
the legality of the election Of the al
derman of the First ward of Mitchell
is questioned on account Of his
election having been. accomplished
through the student vote Of the uni
versity. Most Of the students de-
clined to answer the questions that
are put to them touching their vote
on election day, and some of them
make full replies.
As a general thing those who tes-
tilted stated that they are attending
the university for the purpose OF Sc
curing an education, and that they
have no definite purpose as to their
whereabouts after they leave college;
that they are furnished with money
by their parents to pay their way
through college, and that they spend
their vacations away from this city,
returning in the fall to resume their
studies at college.
1t is claimed that the students are
not legal voters in the city, and the
present effort is to show that their
votes should not be counted for the
election of the alderman, and to lay
the ground for the beginning of a suit
that already has been started to settle
the proposition of the license question.
This will be taken up later and I'M
doubtedly will be carried to the SUI
preme court for a decision whichever
way the decision of the court is rem
dered. An adjournment of the pres
ent hearing was taken until after the
primary election.
