Creighton has always maintained a high
athletic standard and has come off victor
In many a hard-fought field with the
young men of other colleges in this and
neighboring states. Athletics in Creighton
have been encouraged on the ground that
while they are good servants, they are
bad masters. They are not allowed to in
terfere with studies, but are made to serve
the purpose of strengthening the indi-
viduals, of supplying the corpus sanus'
in which to place the men sana." And
that by which the latter is largely sup
piled, oratory. has also been developed in
Creighton to a high degree. Creighton
men ave won first place In the state ora
torical contests on several occasions, and
the prowess of the university in this re-
spect is recognized.
The board of trustees OF the university
Is now as follows: Rev. Eugene A. Magev-
ney, S. j., president; Rev. Michael ].

It must not be presumed that the prog
ress Of Creighton university from nothing
ness to its present great power was all
one grand triumphal march. 1t was not.
There were periods when the actual fate
of the institution seemed to hang in the
balance. One of the most trying of these
years of depression was 1894. When Father
Pahls became rector in that year he fell
heir to the trials which had harassed his
predecessor. He had good reason to feel
discouraged and to sigh for the little corner
room in st. I~gnatius college, which he had
occupied as treasurer before coming west.
But the men who were working for Creigh-
ton never lost faith in its future. In
tenebris lux inopina VENT as their own
Latin has it. mo night without a star"
or 1T is darkest just before the dawn as
the English proverb puts it. And the light
came in due time and illumined the path
along which the car of progress was NOV

has advertised the city far and wide

institutions are most widely known among

an observatory building. However, Father
Joseph Rigge, who was a thoroughly scien-
tific man, saw that the moving Of the big
telescope in and out of the building every
time It was used was injurious to 1t. John
A. Creighton heard of the need and he,
with John A. McShane undertook to build
an observatory. In the winter of 1885 there
arose on the grounds $50 feet north of the

Creighton University's Prosperity

Gated by Bishop o'Connor Sunday, May
6, 1888.
In 1892 the university began to expand
into the professional field, the first step
in this direction being the establishment OF
the Creighton Medical college. At a meet
ing held by the board Of trustees following
John A. ~Creighton's expression Of his de-
sire to establish this department it was
unanimously decided to establish the
John A. Creighton Medical college"
Thirty-six students were enrolled the first
year and In 1900 the attendance had already
risen to 143. Pending the erection of a
permanent structure the new college found
a temporary home at Twelfth and Mason
streets in the old st. Joseph's hospital. In
October, 1898. the present commodious and
beautiful home OF the college was COM
pleted at Fourteenth and Davenport streets
and thrown open to students. The build
ing, furniture and equipment cost about
$4,000, exclusive Of the value OF the ground.
Since then a college Of law. a college Of
dentistry and a college OF pharmacy have
been added TO the university. Each oc-
cupies a handsome, commodious and thor
oughly equipped building. In 1907 the
students enrolled In the various colleges
of Creighton university were as follows:

the Astronomical observatory.
The library is ore OF the most valuable
adjuncts of the university ana it Is grow
ing in size and strength every year. 1t is
divided into ten great DEPARTMENTS, each

cial library. These departments contain,
respectively, general works OF reference,
fiction, philosophical works, religious and
theological works, books on sociology,
philology. fine arts, phys. cal 50 fences, Eng
lish and American literature and history,
The library has also several thousand vol
umes OF works published by the govern
ment and by states, these being of a Stats
teal nature largely.
Within the university there are many or
gan cations intended to promote the
religious, mental and social well Being OF
students. The soc etles for religious cu!-
turc are the Sodality Of the Immaculate
Conception, the .Apostlcship OF Prayer and
the St. John Berchman's Sanctuary So
ciety.
Societies for oratorical culture are the
Creighton Oratorical association, Creighton
Literary society. Creighton Dramatic cir
Gle.
There are two societies for musical cul-
ture, the Creighton University orchestra
and band and The University Giee club

placing Kelly hors de combat.
Although Ketchell won early, the
victory was not an easy one. In
fact it looked a bit blue for the
champion at the termination of the
second round. In two fast rounds
Kelly outfought his man from the
tap OF the gong to the end Of the
round.
Early in the first round Kelly de-
veloped a wicked left which he plac-
ed at various portions of Ketchell's
anatomy almost at will. Several
times he Jared the champion with
wicked lefts to the face and his
punches to the body made Ketchell

Ketchell drove in a smashing left to

cago fighters left eve. The round
closed with the house in an uproar
and yelling for Kelly.
In the second round the men mix
ed it at a furious pace. and time and
again Kelly drove trinhammer lefts
to the stomach, which he varied with
uppercuts to Ketchell's Jaw. Ketch-
ellis nose bled freely as he took his
seat
Ketchell came up quickly in the
third and last round He immedi.
ately laced out with his left, which
he placed twice in quick succession
to the Chicago mans jaw. Before
the semidazed Italian had a chance
to catch himself Ketchell shifted his
left to the jaw. and Kelly was top
pied over as though struck by
sledge hammer. There was nothing
to be done but count 10 and Ketchell
had retained the midd eweight
championship honors.

PAVING TRUST
BOOSTS PRICES
PORILAND'S EXPERIENCE IN
GETTING TIED FAST IN TOLLS
OF GIGANTIC PAVING TRUST
IT IS NOW FIGHTING.

Portland. Aug. 1.-The cost to
the property owners of this city for
bitul'thic pavement, such as is laid
by the Warren Construction com
pany. is about $2.25 a square yard,
or about 20 cents square yard in
excess of the sum exacted by the
corporation for the same sort OF
pavement year ago, says the Tele-
gram.
The price paid for asphalt pave
ment, such as is laid by the Barber
Asphalt Paying company, is about
s225 a square yard also, but this
price has prevailed in this city for
some time. IN addition to this the
city has to pay these companies 2 y
cents square yard each year for
every yard of pavement laid.
Why the Warren Construction
company should exact greater
price for it's pavement this year
than it did last is problem which
many are attempting to solve. and
1T is this, more than any other
thing. which has led Councilman
Kellaher to take up the fight against
the paving concern to attempt to
prevent it from laying any more OF
its pavement in this city under ex-
listing conditions.
1t is argued that If the company
could lay first-class bitulithic
pavement a year ago for about 81 a
square yard and make a profit from
thu business, as claimed, 1t could do
so now.
The price quoted above includes
only the paving of the streets, and
not the laying of sidewalks and
cnrbs. which must be of cement, and
these improvements average In cost
at least 81 running foot. making
I've total cost of street improved
with bitulithic pavement, where
t''ere are no cement curbs or side
walks, excessive. The cost Of paw
ing a street in front of 50-foot
Tot runs from $3.50 to $3.50, and in
many instances where this sort OF
pavement is being laid in the resi-
dence districts. the cost Of the pave
ment amounts to more than half the
sum the lot Is worth.
1t appears strange to those who
have investigated the proposition
that the price Of bitulithic pave
ment should be increased to sum
equal to that Of the asphalt pave
ment about the time that the open
warfare between the two paving
concerns ceased in this city. and
at time when conditions
would tend to favor decrease in
stead of an increase in the cost Of
pavement. Where the two con-
Germs were fighting each other.
there now appears peace and har-
mony and no attempts are made to
steal contracts as formerly.
