vince others will: whom l talk Of the
extraordinary advantages of Berea

first chapter of Prof. Dinsmore's new
book. This book will be invaluable

In their schools and should take this
opportunity to get hold OF the practi-

can use them In the schools they
sre now teaching. Mrs. Hill has
given US some coed recipes FOR cooking
apples which are so plentiful this

SLIGHT CHANGE IN COLLEGE FEES

Reference to the advertisement Of
n,rea College In this paper and the
second edition OF the catalog for this
year. shows two slight changes in col
lege fees. The low prices of board
and rooms are maintained, notwith-
standing the great increase in the
price of food and fuel Added ex-
Penditures In other directions, how
ever. and consistency. have made ne
cessary these changes. which take eff
feet at the opening of the next win
ter term. Beginning then the Incl
dental Fee will be: for the College
as now. 81 term; for the Academy
and Normal Department S.; and
for the Vocational and Model Schools
IS.
This is an increase of 81 for Normal
students who do not take Latin, and
for Model School pupils below the
seventh grade.
1t is not intended that this should
put any additional burden upon the
poor man or the self-supporting stu
dent. The Model School and First
year Normal students have the free
use OF expensive textbooks. and the
same care In health and sickness as
others. Students who give real promise
Of becoming useful men and women,
and who are In actual need. will get
help from the Student Aid Fund thru
Secretary Gamble; all others can
readily pay a trifle more.
People in Berea are reminded that
II they do not register for the Fall
term they will not be admitted In
the winter. 1t Is certainly best to
have each child attend the public
school or the Institution for the year.
and not change from one to the
other.

DECLINES NOMINATION

We are printing a copy of a letter
which Prof. l.. " Dodge has sent to
the chairman of tho Republican Com
mittee In which he declines the nom
nation for School Superintendent of
Madison County Prof. Dodge has
always been very active In education
al affairs. and in all the offices TO
which he has been elected he has

not accept the nomination.

My dear sir:
At the Republican County con-
vention of the Sd inst, altogether
Unexpectedly to myself / was unani-
mously nominated for the office Of
School Superintendent Of Madison
County. It did not seem expedient to
give a definite answer at once. Nor
was 1t necessary to do so. as It was
left to the County Committee to act
upon their judgement as to the fill
ing of any vacancies which might oc-
cur In the ticket.
/ have taken time to weigh with
some care the considerations bearing
upon the question of duty to myself,
to the other nominees to the party
in general and to the interests OF
the county. While deeply thankful for
the honor conferred and the conf
dence implied. my conclusion is to
decline the nomination. Without re-
ferring to the several arguments for
and against. most of them personal to
myself, 1t seems sufficient to repeat
what l said to the convention, viz:
that arrangements at that time con-
cluded involve my being In the far

July 8. 1909.
To The Citizen,
Berea, Ky.
Trusting that no evil has befallen
my dear family and friends at Berea,
l shall give an account OF the celebra-
ton here.
The day was fine, only one shower
falling and that at noon while, all
we're In shelter.
At two O'Clock at the Fair Ground
the seats were filled and hundreds
had gathered under the numerous
shades and the ball game was on
again with great enthusiasm. Stonegap
team won, first over East Stonegap,
and then over Big Stonegap by jeal-
ousiy and hard fought battles.
BALLOON ASCENSION.
The large balloon was swaying TO
and fro az IL restless to ascend the
clouds. The parachute was attached
and just as the words were called "All
is ready. clear the way" a man by the
name Of Ebert Cox darting across
from one side to the other was caught
by the rope connecting the parachute
TO the balloon and jerked high In the
air. In view of the Mortified specta-
tors, among whom we're his wife and
children. While falling he exclaimed
Lord have mercy" and dashing to
the ground was killed. This sad occur
ence saddened somewhat the rest OF
the celebration.

STIRRING UP LAND TROUBLES.

Residents of Sully county are con
siderably stirred up over land
troubles which someone is develop
ing. In the early days Of settlement
of the Missouri valley, large per
cent of the final proofs were what is
known as "shack proofs" the resi-
dence not being as close as is required
at the present by the government. 1t
is safe to say that over half the final
proofs east Of the Missouri river in
South Dakota and eastward were of
this class. Now some one is report
ing such proofs in Sully county, some
OF them running back for years, and
the land having been patented years
ago, has been transferred in some
cases a number Of times. On the re-
ports made to the government a spe-
clal agent has been in that section of
the country for some time making in
yestigatlons. just what the outcome
will be is, Of course, unknown. While
it is not likely that there will be any
final cancellations, the stir may cause
trouble to some off, those who made
nnal proof years ago, and cauae them
to go into court. In that case il
would be hard to get jury which
would set aside title.

with heavy increase in population
to the country west Of the Missouri.
The new settlers will not have long to
wait on any part Of the tract for rail
facilities close at hand, and some Of
them will find the road there ahead of
them. 1t is practically certain that
the Milwaukee road will have a part
OF its lines built before the date of
beginning settlement, and the Mime
apolis and St. Louis and Northwes-
tern systems will have lines into the
territory ct an early date The lands
opened to settlement after taking out
school lands and Indian allotments
will leave IA 900 quarter sections for
filing. For these, with past and pre-
sent rushes for registration, will
mean that over 100000 will register
for chance, and the first few thou
sands will get a chance to pick as
fine land as is to te found in the north
west. The later comers will find that
they will have to pick over rough
lands, but many thousands will find
the spots to build prosperous new
homes in that country.

RAILROAD RATE RULING.

Judge Jones, of the state circuit
IN Sioux Falls, in a suit instituted by
the Great Northern Railway Com
pany against the Sioux Falls Produce
company, has decided in substance
that tariff schedules published by,
the railroads and approved by the
Interstate commerce commission
must be strictly adhered to by the
railroads as well as by shippers.
The local produce company received
shipment of a carload of lumber
products from Portland, Ore, and by
a mistake in the bill of ladinp the
produce company was at first required
to pay $40 less than the regular freight
charges on the shipment. When the
mistake was discovered by the rail-
way company the produce company
was called upon to pay the additionaE
$40, but refused, and suit then was.
entered by the railway company for
the collection of the amount.
Judge Jones, in his decision. grant
ed the railway company a Judgment
for the amount with interest. and
held that there can be no deviation
either above or below the regular
published tariff. He decided, in other
words, that railroad companies must
pay back excess charges if they col
lect too much, and if they have char
ged too little they can collect the diff
ference from the consignee, thus max
ing equal rates for everybody, accord
ing to the tariff schedules which are
published

panies to collect any rebate they have,

LAND HUNGRY.

From the crowded cities and towns
OF the east comes the cry for room.
Room out in Gods country, where a
man may move if he wishes without
jostling the elbow of his neighbor.
Where he can breathe fresh air of the
plains and drink in the deep blue of
the armament and tread the soil.
he is at liberty to SOW and take the
crop there from. Unclaimed sections
OF old Mother Earth are rapidly be-
coming fewer, but still the land hun
ger is not appeased.
Indian reservations, one after an
other have been secured from their
former owners and relinquished to
the men who want to really live, not
merely exist after the fashion of the
dumb animal.
Only recently great tracts of land
to the west of South Dakota were
thrown open for settlement; soon the
Sunshine state will be in the center of
the public gaze, as the location of
similar event, the opening of the In
dian reservations in South Dakota.
The Sioux must needs take on the
ways of his white brother now, no
longer are the plains his to ride with
out let Or hindrance. The pale face
has acquired a fierce, insistent land
hunger and it is written that his ap-
petite must be needed. .-Deadwoo

panied by Mr.. Sutherland and his
