Big Boost in the Attendance at Open

Big Boost in the Attendance at Open
ing OF Winter Term.
Registration day for the winter term
at the state university was Tuesday
last, and the enrolment was the larg-
est for a single day in the history of
the institution. The total reached 1852,
including all the departments at the
university proper. On Monday sixteen
students were enrolled in the law de.
partment, making the entire registra.
ton up to date, 46S. When it is re-
membered that last year on the first
day of the, winter term 247 entered
and the enrolment for the first three
days of the week was only 353, the
wonderful growth Of the institution is
apparent. The registration of the fall
term of this year was $40, giving an in
crease of 112 for the first day of the
present term. In spite of this large
enrolment, many of the old students
have not yet returned from their
homes. it is expected that many will
come in during the remainder of the
week.

BURGLARS AT wALHALLA.

Safe in D.pct S!own, but No Money
Geeure6-Store Loses $500.
There were two burglaries in Wal.
halla last week, in one of which $500
worth Of jewelry was stolen and in
the other an express package from
the Great Northern depot, which was
afterwards recovered. The crooks
used skeleton keys In both instances
to secure admission to the buildings.
The. first burglary appears to have
occurred at the Great Northern depot,
where the safe was blown. The rob-
bers, however, failed to secure any.
thing, as the agent had taken the
money when he left the station. The
robbers secured an express package
which was later found north of the
city.
In Helsath & Quarrie's jewelry store
the burglars were more successful.
and stoie i number of trays of jewel.
ny, valued in all at $500. Mr.. Helsath
slept in the rear of the store, and
about 1880 heard some one in the
front part of the building, but thought
it was his partner Finally he was
aroused and saw that something was
wrong. While he was endeavoring to
secure revolver the men fed.
The robbers took q handcar. and
went north, soon reaching the Cana.
dian boundary. They abandoned the
car, and are thought to have gone
to Gretna.

In fire that broke out in the Mon

about 5000 bushels Of wheat, and the
Crown elevator, containing two car
loads of coal, were burned to the
ground, and only by the heroic fight
ing of firemen was the business p6r.
tion} of the city saved from the de.
vastation Of the flames. The entire
loss will reach close to $4,000. and
it is believed to be we'll insured.
The fir. is believed to have orr
ginated probably from an overheated
stove. The elevators are /. but fifty
feet apart, and the flames easily
jumped the gap. Two other elevators
were saved as was the hospital which
was in danger, several times. It was
1880 Wednesday morning before the
flames were Under complete control.

Washington, Jan. A4.-In a personal
letter which he addressed to the presi-
dent, the vice president, Speaker Can
non and all members of congress, the
justices of the supreme court, mem
bers of the presidents cabinet and the
Washington newspaper correspond.
ents, George w. Cook, Republican con-
gresham at large from Colorado, Sc
verely arraigns the administration for
its course in prosecuting alleged in
fractions of the public land laws In
Coloroda.
Congressman Cook insists that great
injustice has been done to a number
Of Colorado's most honorable, upright
and law abiding business men, lin
that they have been unnecessarily
branded as criminals through over
zealousness OF the government In or
dering indictments without furnishing
proper evidence.
He cites the recent decision Of Fed
eral Judge Robert 3. Lewis at Denver.
In which he quashed the indictments
against some thirty citizens. to SHOW
that government prosecutors were
overactive In their efforts to punish
land frauds.

1000 students enrolled for the winter
courses. as.there are many more who
have not yet registered. The greatest
troublejwe are having is finding board.

yesterday for number of addresses,
mostly by members on the Democratic
side. These covered a variety of SUBJ
jects, but those that attracted espe.
cial attention were by Representative
Sheppard of Texas and Wi!lett of New

March 4. is another evidence of the
presidents determinations to recognize
competent young men ,connected 3D. with
his administration and bring them to
the front. bennett has been assistant
commissioner for q year. A more
competent, thorough and upright man
has never held that position, and all
these qualities he will carry to the
head OF the land department.
benefits rise has been rapid. He
was secretary to Senator Hansbrough
for number of years, and from that
place went to Seattle as special agent
Of the land Office in April, 1905. A
year ago he was named assistant CON-
missioner Of the land Office at the re-
guest of Judge Ballinger, who knew
him In Seattle and was impressed
with the. zeal, ability and tact he dis
played in the conduct OF the govern
ment's business.
bennett was born in 1868 in Valpa-
raise, Chile, of English parents, and
- a graduate of British schools, hav-
ing taken a mathematical and CLASH
cal course. He went to Canada in
1885, two years later going to North
Dakota. He was first a hardware mer-
chant and later newspaper proprie-
tor in Milton, that state, and was put
forward as candidate for tae state
senate, but without success. He was
one Of the Republican leaders of his
state at the age of e., and was then
sent to the lower house of the legisla-
ture. In the legislature he was a
champion of reform measures and
drafted the Australian ballot bill which
was at that time enacted into law. He
was secretary of the faction of the
party which organized the legislature,
the issue being clean politics, the first
legislature of the then new state hav-
ing come into disrepute by its advoca.
cy of legislation authorizing lottery.
He was offered the place of secre.
tary to Senator Hansbrough, but de.
.clined, but on the third renewal of
the offer he accepted it and went to
Washington. bennett began the study
of law at Columbian university, now
George Washington university, and
was an honor graduate in 1894. He
stood at the top of the class examined
for admission to the local bar in the
fall of that year. He pursued the study
of law at the Catholic university in
Washington, and was given the title
doctoratus juris, making speciality of
corporation law. This, in brief, is
Mr.. benefits record, and it will be
seen that all of it seems to have been
in effect preparation for the impor.
tant public duties he is now called on
to fulfill.
