Washburn improvements.
While much has been said in this
column in regard to the improvements
which have been going on around
about town, mention has not recently
been made of the Washburn campus
alterations. Let the Good Work Go
On is the title of an article in the
current issue of the Washburn Review.
It reads in part: "In few more weeks
the old timers will not be able to re-
cognize the campus on account of the
marked change in respect to the en-
trance.

amount was raised and the work be-

I'm few more days the walks lead
ing from the library to the chapel will
be finished and the circular walk in
front of the fine arts building which
the Senior class gave to the college,
will be put down; also the walk on the
west side of the avenue from the col
lege entrance to the fine arts building
will soon be finished. When this is
completed, Washburn may certainly
be proud to claim one of the finest of
any college in the west.

vance on my ground; but "educa-
ton" and the present times and the
manners they have assumed makes
them unbearable. What do they ex-
pect to do with their superior edu-
cation?" Do they expect to become
stenographers, bOokkeepers, conf
Dental secretaries, etc, to white gen.
tlemen to the exclusion of white wo-
men? Well, then what? Have they
colored business men who can en-
ploy them? Have they colored bank
ers, theater managers, owners Of
foundries and factories, owners of
amusement resorts? that could en-
ploy "colored ladies'" and "colored
gentlemen" No. Well, then, when
their kind and color are willing and
capable and Industrious enough, and
brainy enough, and temperate
enough, and moral enough to COM

white man in his capacity as leader,
then may they assume to be his
equal and to cry for superior educa-

SO you Southern employers don't
bother with them, get together, do
your own work, lay out your own
rules as to how your work shall be
done and what it's pay shall be- If
not, then get other white people to
do it-Hungarians, Roumanians-
anything; they at least are white peo-
pie, who will work, who will know
their place and keep it. They, at
least, will not lay in ambush for your
fair young daughters.

THEY ABHOR THE JAIL.

District Attorney Whitman of New
York has indicted some men for vio-
latiOn of the antitrust laws and is
proceeding now to close grips with
the ice men. The complaint was
made that the regular dealers in the
combine refuse to sell ice on any
terms to Independent dealers, the
object being to drive the independent
men out of business.
Since the Districe Attorney began
his action against men in the COM
bine and instituted criminal proceed
ings, it is said that the docks in New
York are crofded with barges loaded
with ice, brought in by the combine,
and that they are putting up the ex-
cuse that heretofore they were unable
to get barges in which to bring the
ice to New York from other ports.
Whether the explanation is correct
or not, the people have been salts
fed for long time that the way to
fight trust of any kind or combine
in restraint of trade was to proceed
criminally, send somebody to Jail if
a case should be made at all. If
combination can be defeated in civil
action it can be convicted in a crimi-
nal one.
And perhaps it is little easier to
send such men TO Jail than it is to
get a judgement against them. But it
it is not difficult in either case, when
the facts warrent prosecution on
either side of the court.-Buffalo

AN IDEA FOR NEXT SPRING.

Those who desire to establish al
falfa in their poultry yards can sue
ceed in this way by blowing or spad-
ing under alfalfa crowns that have
been fresl ly ploWed out from some
field near by. Early in the spring is
the best time, while the crowns are
still dormant. The crowns should be
covered four to six inches deep, and
the chickens kept off until the crowns
have become established, which will
be much sooner than alfalfa seed,
and will stand much harder pasture.

There will be free ball this after
noon in the Ely park when Ely and

off the game in which the public were
disappointed three weeks ago. The
game will be doubtless one for blood,
for the boys have had plenty of prac-

after each others scalps. Game will
be called at the usual time. and there
will be two umpires.

BY LIGHTNING
HERMAN WISE THE ACCOUNTANT
HAS A CLOSE CALL FROM
EAST ELY,

Herman Wise had very close
call from death on last Wednesday
evening when he narrowly escaped
being struck by lightning. Mr.. Wise
had returned from McGill where he
had been doing some work for the
previous few days. He reached East
Ely ON the 6:25 train, and was carry
ing $1,000 in coin in sack on his
shoulder, and had in an inner pocket
$4,000 in checks and currency.
An electrical storm was raging
and the crowds on East Ely's main
wonderful effects. and watching the
chain lightning zigzagging through
the heavens. OF a sudden there was a
startling blast and the lights in the
town were extinguished. Lightning
had struck disused telephone pole
short distance from the depot, just
after Mr.. Wise had passed by. He
was staggered by the shock. the sack
of money falling to the ground. and
he just saved himself from falling to
the sidewalk. His first impression
was that he had been attacked the
purpose being to rob him of the
money he was carrying to the Copper
National bank
No one was anywhere in sight and
it finally dawned upon him that he
had been shocked by lightning. Then
people began rushing into the street
and he was joined by a number of
friends. He said that he felt sting
in the back of the head as If he had
been struck by some blunt instru-
ment, and apart from a little nervous
ness he experienced no further dam
age.
A strange coincidence in connec-
tion with the experience was that only
on the day before he had received a
letter from his mother, narrating an
encounter of his sister-in-law and her
mother few days before in Ne
braska. The ladies were out driving
when a storm came up. The horse
was struck by lightning and instant
ly killed. and the occupants of the
buggy thrown to the ground in an
unconscious condition. They remain
ed there for nearly an hour when a
searching party discovered them. The
shock confined them to their beds for
the next few days. but nothing ser
ious developed

made another home run, but the
fielding and shutouts on both sides
were brilliant, and nobody could ask
for better ball.
On Monday the third, Ely and
Copper Flat met at East Ely. and the
score was nine TO four in favor of
the men from the hill. A number
of mishaps seasoned the game, sew
eral of the players being hurt. Ginter
and Britt were the umpires and the
game was one of the longest yet play
ed in the series. Queen Kate and
her maids We're in attendance at this
game, there was quite good crowd
to witness some good ball and some

and 1t was developed that there were
