remains to Byars for interment.
All the evidence tended to show that
Harris died Of poisoning administered
by himself. but whether accidentally
or with suicidal intent could not be
determined. The fact, however. that
no autopsy was made rendered 1t i'm
possible for the jury to decide with
certainty as to the cause of death.
It was at first believed that strych-
nine was the drug used as a small
bottle OF II was found in the room. but
a bottle Of morphine was discovered

CHICKASHA AUDIENCE
APPROVES THE AGENCY

Senator Billups addressed an audi
ence that comfortably filled the court
house last night. He discussed the
liquor agency provisions Of the prohibi-
ton law and gave good reasons why
the people should ratify the same at
the election on Nov. 3. He explained
in detail the manner in which the
agencies are conducted, showing that
they are entirely different from the
South Carolina dispensary. their pur-
pose being strictly for the sale Of
liquor for medicinal and mechanical
purposes. The audience appeared to
be entirely in sympathy with the views
by the speaker.

When Fallen Leaves Cease to Dance.

On all the leaves that had not sour
ried into shelter white frost fell that
filled them with ice needles until they
were crisp. and then sprouted minia-
ture ghost ferns all along their stems
and upper sides. Thus they lay stark
until the white of the night gloomed
into the gray of daybreak fog that
seemed to scatter all life in form
less void. After leaves have once
been thoroughly frozen they dance
about in the breeze no more. The
forming and melting of Ice crystals
breaks up their cells and leaves them
sodden and no longer elastic. They
sag and sink and the chemic forces Of
the earth soon begin to work on them
and resolve them into salts and humus
that will go the rounds and form and
nourish new leaves for another year.

Biennial Report Of State UniYersltu

= More than mere record of receipts
and expenditures is the sixteenth bien-
nial report of the regents of the state
which has just been issued.
The press work is creditable. Upon
the cover in gold, is engraved the new
seal, in its symbolism typifying the
purpose and ideals of the founders Of
the university. A perusal of the report
reveals much more than dry statistics.
Especially noteworthy is the continued
steady increase in number of.students
for, during the period covered by the
report, October l, 1906 to October l.,
1908, an increase of 80 per cent is noted,
an increase, the significance of which is
enhanced by the fact that it extends
to all departments. The enrolment fer
the current year is 1925.
What is being done in research and
the many lines of investigation which
are open are noted. In economics ard
sociology, science, hygiene and SANTA
ton, education, history and engineering
there are many possibilities for just
such research as can be carried on at
the state university. Its practical value
to the state is emphasized and the need
of increased appropriations shown.
A healthy condition of student activ;-
ties is reported.
Reference is made in the report to
the endorsement by the two great po-
litical parties in their recent state cor
ventions of the policy of giving the
university's medical school the privilege
of conducting the last two years of its
work in Denver Coming to the legis-
lature with such Endorsement the 'Medi-
cal Bill' cannot fail of passage.
An announcement of interest is made
in the statement that Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie has increased the funds of the
Carnegie Foundation so as to include
professors in state universities in the
provision for retiring allowances.
The financial part of the report shows
various items of interest. During the
past two years the university has re-
ceived gifts valued at $4,000. In addition,
announcement is made of the gift OF
Senator Guggenheim of law building
to cost not less than $4,000 and to bc
ready for use by September 1909; anc
the bequest of about $3.50, 900 by Mr..
Andrew j. Macky, a Boulder pioneer,
for the erection of an auditorium. Dur
ing the biennium S39, 900 has been useo
in the erection of new buildings and the
purchase of land. The average annua
expenditure for maintenance has beer
S177,00O. The Librarian reports 5,73I
volumes added during the biennia
period, making total of "A, 292 volumes
now in the library. The report of the
state auditor, state treasurer, secretary
and university treasurer are given. Ar
inventory of property shows tota
approximate valuation of grounds
buildings, furniture, apparatus, library
ect., of $3.50, 200.
After one has laid aside the report
he is left with the feeling that, unlike
Peter Pan, the university wants tt
grow up, that, indeed it is growing w
and putting on the air of big univer-
sity. He sees the evidence of achieve
ment, and hears the demand from every
department for increased support that
it may carry on more efficiently the
work it has begun. He must feel that
here indeed is an institution worthy OF
every citizens loyalty and justly claim.
