ITS BEST YEAR.

The rapid progress Of the University
in all of its activities during the
present session is gratifying to the
friends Of the institution throughout
the State. There are now enrolled
In all departments, 1853 young men,
as against 81 at thfs time last year.
Almost every county in the State is
represented. This is the largest. en-
roIlment In the entire history Of the
Institution. During the first year Of
the University, while at Lake City
there were enrolled 1876 students in
all departments. At this time the
University had two grades lower than
the present sub-freshman class Of the
University. Besides this II had a
Normal Department and a Depart
ment Of Pharmacy. It must also be
remembered that this enrolment fol-
lowed the adjustment Of all of the
State Institutions in 1905. In 1906 the
total enrolment was 102. In 1907.s
the total enrolment was 1Os. In
l9OS9 the registrapodl WAS also 1903
Not counting the Law Department
there are now enrolled more students
in the University than were ever ma
circulated in the institution.
The spirit of the student body is
excellent, as is also the conduct Of
the men. The faculty is greatly en-
couraged by the fine spirit Of the stu
dent body and the application and in.
dustry that are manifested by the
students in every department of the
University. indications point to an
extremely satisfactory year in all re-
spects and a continued increase in
attendance and greater prosperity In
the University in the year to come.

THEY DO NOT HELP.

We still stick to the assertion that
the Jacksonville saloon men do not
help the "wets" In the local option
elections in other counties Of the
State. On the contrary they some
times lend a hand to the "drys."
This is but natural, as it is not rea-
sonable to suppose that they viii help
competitors to get into the field. The
large brewers and distillers no doubt
contribute literally to the wet"
cause everywhere, and as they all
have agencies in Jacksonville the inn
preston goes forth that it is the sa-
loon men contributing the wherewith.
Perry Herald
The Sun Is Of the same opinion as
The Herald. It is to the interest of
those engaged in the jug trade" in
Jacksonville to keep the smaller coun-
ties In close proximity to that city
dry, and they at least keep hands
on in the local option contests. AS
The Herald says, the large brewers
and dIstillers no doubt lend financial
aid to the vets IN the effort to re-
turn to the. license system in some
Of the counties. but II is contrary to
human nature for the jug houses" to
lend aid IN such contests. ~
In the effort to establish Statewide
prohibition next year a different
phase Of the question win be present
ed, however, and the prohibitionists
may as well prepare for the combined
opposition Of the liquor interests.

Since the marriage took place,
however, the parents have learned
that their daughter did marry the
soldier and have become reconcil-
ed, but as the groom had used a
fictitious name, in case of hrs
death, and there were pension
due, she would not be able to
claim it as his widow. Also, all
concerned are Catholics, and they
did not think that the marriage
performed by the justice of the
peace was legal, so they demanded
that another marriage take place
before a Catholic priest.
An effort was made by Pockatt
to have the old license fixed up
so that he would not have to pay
SO for a second marriage license.
but after the county attorney had
been consulted, it was decided to
issue the license to William j.
Pickett, the groom's true name,
and Rina j. De Martini, the girls
maiden name, and this was done
yesterday. Pickett is private at

HOLDING Telegram
COSTS MAN $1,400

After Hover learned of the con-
tents of this message, plaintiff
charged, he retained 1t, and with
the knowledge therein
contained, opened negotiations
with leighton for the exchange
of certain property of one of the
Hover companies, near Kenne-
wick, for the timber claim.
The deal was contaminated and
Deighton found himself the owner
of a piece of property in the early
fruit belt, while Hover took over
a timber claim covered with about
100000 feet of timber.
Later leighton learned by let
ter that he had received the offer
and was asked why there had been
no response to the telegram, and,
upon inquiry from the telegraph
authorities, learned Of its delivery
to Hover.
Hover stated that he had placed
the telegram in his coat pocket
and had completely forgotten its
existence until Deighton's demand
recalled It to his mind.
The jury returned a verdict for
the plaintiff and assessed his dam
age at $1,400.

people to get busy and get the
kind of a charter desired. The
first thing to be done will be to
get the names of one-fourth Of the
voters in Tacoma on petitions for
the election of the charter COM
mission. This will require about
1000 names. The improvement
clubs can easily do the work in a
short time, it is believed. But
they must be in in time for the
council to order the election 10
days before the time the commit
tee is to be voted upon.
One thing Commissioner Nc
Gregor wants when any change is
made is for all city officials to
take their places at the beginning
of the year. He desires the April
election abolished and the cleo
lions held in the fall or winter.
Then there is larger registration,
and by taking their offices the
first of the year new administra-
lions can make annual reports
covering their entire administra-
ton without tapping over the old
one, as at present.
