The University Girl
eHE 10 INCREASING ALARMING.
IN, ACCORDING TO COLLEGE
PROFESSORS.

FTHE university girl IL threatening to
crowd out the university man. Her
progress has been simply marvellous
In 1898 the first college girl made her
appearance at Oberlin. She was a
shrinking little thing, and the impress
sion she gave was that IL women were
admitted to colleges the standards Of
education would be lowered.
Now In colleges where the feminine
sex Is admitted more than so per cent
OF the students are women. and the
presidents of these institutions have
dark forebodings for the future Of the
remaining masculine percentage.
A list OF thirteen western UNIVERSE
ties shows the women outnumberins
the men in seven cases. Minnesota.
Nebraska and California have nearly
twice AZ many women as men enrolled.
Stamford has seized the bull by thu
horns and limited the number of wo-
men who may enter each year to 500.
Tufts has asked for s250.000 that she
may segregate the women and thus
prevent herself from becoming a wo-
mans college.
Women seem to be doing better work
everywhere than the men who are
their classmates.
Men are going more and more into
technical courses, and 50 are women
| There ID marked tendency 70 spe-
cialixe.
Two-thirds OF the girls In college are
preparin~ to teach. When more pro-
fessions are opened to woman this
crowding Of one or two professions
will cease.
simmons college offers H. A. foi
d private secretary course and one IN
domestic science.
Domestic science taught In q scien-
ttfic way will provide a great outlet
Tor women, fitting them for the man
agement OF hotels and great institu-
| TONS
on the whole, women are good stu
dents because they are painstalxing

I them perform their household tasks

miserable marriages with patiencs

Eiously. The masculine mind Ii mors

COACH FOX The HIGHS
Watkins Of Fargo College viii Aid
In Putting the Locals Into
Shape.

The board OF education has been
fortunate enough to secure the assist
ance OF Coach Watkins at Fargo coll
lege to put the high school football
team In shape for the season. The
boys will go over to Fargo for prac-
tice. and the coach will devote as
much spare time as possible to the
local boys. There is some good ma
terial among the boys this year and
tney are possessed with the proper
spirit and confidence to make a good
showing. The captain says his team
is going to be heard from. With the
board of education showing the in
terest it does backed by the interest
and influence of the faculty there is
display of renewed energy which
should bring about large percen-
tare OF success with contesting teams.
The new lavortortes, including
shower baths, viii soon be available
for the aspiring athletes. The normal
school grounds have been well moved.
goal posts have been erected and al
together the grounds have been put
in excellent shape for the home con-
tests. 1t is also said that the football
shirt lis intense among the young
ladies of the different educational in
situations so that there will be nc
lack of roofing and inspiration from
those quarters. Moorhead high is out
for the pennant.

BIBLE STORIES
ARE RIDICULED
PROF. ToFFTEEN OF CHICAGO ~"
DECLARES OLD TESTAMENT
MIRACLES ARE ONLY
MYTHS.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-Two more Bible
stories have been pronounced mere
romances by a Chicago professor.
The story Of the Israelites crossing
the Red Sea between walls OF water
is only a pleasing tale, according to
Prof. Olaig A. Toffteen. of the chair
Of semitic languages and old tesla
ment literature at western theological
seminary. He labels it a myth in hts
work on researches in Biblical
archaeology" issued by the Uniyer-
sity OF Chicago Press.
Those huge walls OF water which
engulfed the pursuing Egyptians
were only the tide. he says. The dry
passageway the Hebrews crossed on
was only a sand fat, and he places
the whole story I'm the realm of ro-
nance when he says there is nothing
to prove that the Hebrews crossed
the Red Sea at all.
From archaeological proof recently
unearthed in Egypt, Professor Toffteen
asserts that instead OF one exodus of
the Hebrews there We're really two;
one TO the north and one TO the south.
From the study made by Professor
Toffteen Of the writings he Is posi-
tive that all old records point to the
fact that there were two pilgrimages,
and that one of them did not take
place near the Red sea at all.

Shortly after / O'Clock this after

toby John Smith, colored. who was
thrown in the city jail awaiting action
of the prosecuting department. AT a
safe distance behind came Harry
Uzite, subject of the mikado and
proprietor of a chop suey house on
lower Front street.
The little Jap claims that three
weeks ago Smith came into his place
and ordered a swell dish of the con-
coction priced at so cents. When 1t
came time to settle there was a dis
pute which ended by Smith bouncing
heavy bowl or the Jap's head and
leaving an ugly cash over the left eye.
The dark colored man made his es-
cape and has not shown up again till
yesterday The slant-eyed individual
kept a close watch and with the aid
of the officer landed his man.
When asked at tn police station
what he wanted done with Smith, the
Jap stated that he would be satisfied
IL his assailant was hung.

Wheat Gossip.

Chicago, Oct. 4.--Wheat: The Liver
pool market closed ss to N higher. AL
though the worlds shipments were
larger than expected. the shipments to
the United Kingdom were small and
their markets were, therefore relative
~ firm. Stocks on passage increased
100000 bushels. Our market opened
firm, the buyers, however, were soon
filled up and the market ruled easy and
dull for the balance Of the day. North
western receipts were again larger and
cash wheat was relatively weaker.
Southwestern winter wheat markets
were also weaker on better receipts
and reduced premiums for cash wheat

yield makes the total 421,000,OO0 bush
els. and the spring wheat 2sS .O00, 900
bushels, total all told of 7ls ZOO, 900
bushels compared with e75,000, 900
last year. 1t looks to us that with
increasing stocks and no export de-
mand the market will gradually ad
iust itself to lower basis.
