SEES HISTORY MAKING

To be in the center of the fast NOV
ing events which are making history
in China; to see an awakened people
in the throes of the birth of new
republic; this is the privilege of Pro-
fessor Sidney R. Shelton, formerly Of
the University Of Idaho, but now pro-
fessor of electrical engineering in the
Chinese Nan Yang University, which
is the name given the school ny the
rebels since they captured it.
In the fall of 1910, Professor Shell
don of the electrical engineering de-
partment, left Moscow for Shanghai,
China, to occupy in the Imperial Pol
ytechnic college the place made vacant
by the resignation of S. E. Hutton of
this city. Mr. Sheldon expected to

of Indian will be removed to Delhi
from Calcutta. After the reading of
the proclamation King George an
nounced a gift to India consisting of
$1,500,000 for popular education, and
pardon for hundreds of prisoners and
half a months pay for every soldier

The cost of moving the capitol will
be about $15,O00,0O0. Calcutta has
been the capital since 1878.
The fact that every week more than
5000 natives are dying from plague,
that hundreds of thousands are on the

unequal battle in life, cole is dead

morning in his room at the Fred SkOg
home, the first house west of the N.
P. depot depot "Ole" was Adolph
Eckstrom, who because Of his unrea-
sonable anger when called that name,
was a we'll known character in Mos
COW. Many times he had threatened
boys, who thus teased him, and on one
occasion was taken before the sheriff
on charge of assault growing out of
that popularity.
Death was the result of three balls
from a 20 calibre pistol which the
man sent crashing into his brain, just
in front of the right ear.
The tragedy occurred at about 9:15
.4cis morning. Mrs. Fred Skog, at
{whose home the man was a rOOmer,
heard two shots fired, with brief in
tervals between, and summoned her
neighbor c. L. Williamson, who was
the first man at the scene. Williamson
found the man dead, lying sprawled
across the floor, near the foot of his
bed, with the bullet wounds, upper
most, oozing blood, which formed in
pool about his face. The right
hand, with the pistol, was crumpled
