A PLEASANT FUNCTION
Sixteen Graduates of Maroon and
Gold Institution Hold Meeting
in Sank Centre
LOYAL TO ALMA MATER
County Organization to be Formed
at Next Meeting Which Will
he Held in MelrOSe

Sixteen loyal alumni of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota enjoyed spread at
the Palmer House last Friday eve
ming and voted to work for the for
nation of Stearns county alumni or
ganization. A temporary chairman
was elected to serve until the next
meeting. at which permanent or
ganization will be affected.
Eleven of the sixteen alumni pres
ent are residents of Sank Centre, the
other six being from MelrOse. An in
vitation had been sent to the st.
Cloud alumni but none were able to
be present, though all expressed
themselves in hearty accord with the
movement.
The affair was informal but thor
oughly enjoyable. There was a soci-
ability that finds its expression only
among college men and women. The
best Of feeling prevailed and much
enthusiasm was evidenced. The idea
was expressed and unanimously en-
dorsed that the alumni of the Uni
versity should stand Loyalty behind it
and its new president and SO far as
lay i'm their power should help in
making OF the gu" what it is rapidly
becoming, the leading educational in
,Stitution of--the country. Stories
were told, "reminiscences exchanged
and the party broke up with the feel
ing that much had been accomplished
along the line of establishing the
most friendly relations between the
alumni and of promoting the material
interests of the University.
The party sat down at eight O'Clock
to supper which satisfied and was
well served. After an hour devoted
to proper disposition of the viands,
a period was devoted to informal
speeches. A. NJ Welles. being the
oldest alumnus present, presided.
stated the object of the meeting and
called upon several of those present
for informal remarks. Those re-
spending were DR.. z. A. Hilbert, At
torney j. w. Stephens and DR.. Smith
of Melrose: Supt. NJ. ID. Aygarn, DIR.
III. L. Lamb, Misses Dryden and Cas-
sidy of the faculty Of the Sank Centre
public schools. They all told stories
and made remarks appropriate to the
OCCASION and were cheered to the
echo.
1t was voted to form permanent
organization. With that end in view.
A. NJ Welles was elected temporary
president with powers of secretary
and treasurer, to serve until the next
meeting when a permanent organiZa-
ton will be formed. The Melrose
delegation extended cordial invita-
tion to hold the next meeting in that
town. The invitation was accepted
and the Melrose alumni will soon
announce the date of the gathering,
which will probably be in~December.
Every alumnus in Stearns county will
be invited to attend.
University athletics were discussed
and resolution introduced by Supt.
Aygarn was adopted calling upon
the governing athletic board of the
GU" for the abolition of the summer
base ball rule which resulted in the
withdrawal of Capt. Earl Pickering
from the SUP foot ball team, or if
that cannot be secured, urging the
withdrawal of Minnesota from the

brought to the state capitol of late by
more than one eyewitness to some of
the sales-that not all of the land dis
posed of is falling into the hands of
bona fide settlers. Spectators is the
word they use, something limited at
by Golfers Magazine in an editorial
some months ago attacking the intent
of those behind the new law aud
which called forth a reply from State
Auditor Iyerson to the effect that the
attack was not merited. These eye
witnesses hint at collision at which
an entire section is often secured by
one man, though the law only con-
templates the sale of 320acr to each
bidder This is done by individual
purchasers, they pooling their hold
ingS later. / have it on the authority
of one up state editor that specula-
tors constituted a fair sprinkling of
the crowd that attended recent sale
in his town. / asked him fiat if he
believed the law was realizing the
Estate new settlers, and he said he did
not. Down here it is common knowl-
edge that more than one conductor
and brakeman on the lines running
north has forty or more to his cred
it, not necessarily for cultivation
now, but which he may take to later
when age units him for railroad work.
unless he unloads it in the meantime
at an advanced figure. Many have
rented their land to adjacent farmers.
Finis seems to have been reached
in the Whittier-Red Wing training
school controversy. The Board of
Control, including Mr.. Swendsen, the
lone republican member, has given
Mr.. Whittier clean bill of health,
Whittier has resigned, Governor Eb-
erhart seems to be satisfied, and the
WOmen'S clubs of the state, who have
been after the Red Wing mans scalp
for over year, are indicated. The
release of the Boards findings and the
promptness with which Mr.. Whittier
followed it with his resignation as SUI
perintendent leads many down here
to believe that the whole thing was
prearranged, the deal made even in
Guiding the governor. Such, however,
is denied Governor Eberhart never
realized anything from the prOsecu-
ton, it in fact doing him harm in
some quarters. and ] am told he gave
big sigh of relief when Informed
that the finish had been reached. At
one time, it is said, former State Sen
ator Andy Stephens of Crookston,
who led the assault on Whittier, with
his friends so far prevailed on the eX-
ecutive that the removal of the two
democratic members of the Board was
decided upon. The whole thing has
been dirty mess from the start and
the state is 20 be congratulated on
being rid of the stencil.
Chairman Ringdahl of the Board of
Control is being looked upon favor
ably by the democratic king makers
as gubernatorial material. Friends
joking with him the other day regard
lug the possibility of his removal
from the Board by Governor Eber-
hart-this was before the Red Wing
training school decision was reached
asked him what he would do if the
axe fell. 'Oh, 90 back to making
monuments, Il guess was the an
SWer. And he smiled when he said
| it. with the accent on the smile.

Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspondence
ST. PAUL, Nov. 2l:-Bob Dunn's
editorial on the growing expense of
the state government, which COM
mented upon in my letter of few
weeks ago, has fallen on fertile ground
and is receiving attention at the
hands of the country press in way
that may make it bothersome issue
for some l know in the next cam
paign. Many are asking the Prince
ton campaigner to make good. For
those interested the state auditors
biennial report, which can be had for
the asking, furnishes about the best
and most correct information obtain
able. To some perusal of it's pages
might be an astonisher, at any rate
it proved so to me when, carelessly
running through the book the other
day, / came across items like this:
game and fish commission, S32, 1890:
live stock sanitary board, S1OS,000;
state board of health, $4,000. And
h e e were small compared to
others-well, / will leave them for
another story.
There is one item of state depart
ment expense that may some day re-
ceive attention from the country press,
and that is the newspaper clipping
bureaus which many state officials
patronize. The cost of these clippings
is in many instances met by the vari
Gus contingent funds and the point
hss been raised as to the legality of
the expenditure. The clippings cost
5 cents each and the annual expendi-
ture is often sufficient to provide the
interested official with a years sub
scription to practically all the rural
weeklies in the state. The subjects
covered by the clippings refer to poll
tics and department matters.

One of the official acts of the last
legislature was to pass bill relieving
purchasers of state lands of all, obliga-
tions to it's cultivation and colonial
tion. From time immemorial the re-
quirements had been to fence and
convert 25 per cent of the land in pas
ture, cultivate at least per cent of
the tract or build house and reside
upon the land for period of twelve
months. Those behind the bill argued
that the adjustment of these re-
uuirements was necessary if the lands
owned by the state in the northern
counties were to be populated. How
the bill got by l do not know, but at
any rate it was passed and Governor
Eberhart gave it his official sigma
ture. Since the bill passed. together
with another act endorsed by the
same body providing for monthly
sales, thousands of acres of state
lands have been sold by Auditor liver
son at prices ranging from SIS, the leg
al minimum. to s. an acre. and the
state school fund has been swelled as
a consequence. The average price
realized, however, has been about Sc
an acre. Each sale has been accom-
panied with loud blare or trumpets
| and the press has been filled with
stories of the amount disposed of and
the new settlers secured by the state
as result.

UNDERWOOD SCORED
 OVER CHAMP CLARK
First Split Among Democrats Since
 They Took Control of the House. is Recorded.

Washington, July 25.-Champ Clark, speaker of the House, and Oscar w. ocrats in that body, split in the Dem- ocrats in ta&t body, sulit in the Dem ocratic caucus tonight. Speaker Clark wanted continuous legislation. Underwood advised against it and Underwood won.
 The battle in the caucus was the most serious the Democratic party has witnessed since it came into con- trol of the House. Speaker Clark, who had introduced resolution call ing on the Ways and Means Commit tee of which Underwood is chairman, to report bills revising the steel and iron schedule and the measures re- vising all the other schedules were completely bowled over by the Under wood forces and the sum total of positive action in the caucus was the unanimous vote in favor of the cotton bill.

EIGHT WOUNDED
 BY A MANIAC CRAZY HINn00 PUMPS MAUSER BULLETS INTO PEOPLE ON
 CROWDED STREET
USED A MAUSER RIFLE
Says He Was Haunted By People Had Letters Addressed To Pres.
 ident Taft.

Chicago, July 25.-Eight persons i were wounded at Clark and Wash ington streets this afternoon by an insane Hindoo who with two boxes of rifle cartridges in his pocket, started out to kill 10000 persons ill the Loop. Standing in the Chicago Opera House the man turned slowly in a circle, shooting bullets as long as a mans finger into the crowds.
 Mounted Policeman Malloy and Pa trolman NJ. J. Hynes risked their lives at the muZzle of the maniac's rifle to grapple with him. He fought ferociously. At the station he said his name was H. Husain and that he was 25 years old. In his pocket were rambling incoherent letters address ed to President Taft and the British Consul in Chicago.
 The only seriously wounded was Archibald Hunter. printer, who was shot in the leg. An artery was sev- cred and surgeons fear for the out come. The others struck by bullets received only slight injuries.
 The Hindoo used Mauser service rifle of 45 calibre with the barbarous soft nosed steel bullets, that spread on entering. Interrograted by In- spector Hunt, the Hindoo said he had been in Chicago three months, but he refused to tell where he had come from. He said he was moulder and once had served in the British army in India. He said he was in Pitts burg several months ago.
 The man was dressed ill khaki hunting clothes and when he began to shoot he was thought to be a sol dier from the Lake front tournament camp. Many persons who saw him calmly firing the rifle at intervals of about fifteen seconds, believed he was shooting blank cartridges and that his performance was some sort of advertisement for the Chicago Op- era House. The Hindoo told the po- lice that he had been haunted and persecuted He said people called him "nigger" because of his dark complexion. Nc f<reats were made in the letters to President Taft or the British consul, they being merely iumbled phrases from a disordered mind.
