SPttidi correspondence OF Inc star
RICHMOND. Va. April 10, 1911.
The proposition of Senator A. L. Strobe
of Amherst to admit women to the Uni
versity of Virginia on equal terms with
male students has created such row
a s the University of Virginia has not en-
perienced in many years. The students are
arrayed as a body against the scheme, and
the college paper, College Topics, is in
Weighing nightly against the suggestion.
Mrs. B. +. MunfOrd and many of the best
known women of the state, especially
those who are engaged in educational
work, are championing the cause of the
girls of the state who are demanding
that they be given an equal show with
the boys. They are cOntending that while
there are three institutions for the higher
education of the boys. there is not one in
Virginia for the benefit of the girls.
The college paper contends that only
the ''riff-raff will come TO the university
and seek TO obtain an education on an
equal footing with the boys. that such a
step will serve to lower the respect for
women on the part of the students and
that such a thing is contrary to the ideas
of the founders of the UNIVERSITY,

DEAD NEAR RAlRoAD.
w. W. Holmes, Of Woodboine, Fount
Near. Milwaukee Railway at
Charter Oak.

On Thursday a section foreman on
the Milwaukee railroad discovered the
lifeless body of man lying beside
the track about two miles west OF
Charter Oak. The body was brought
to Charter Oak and the coroner noti.
fed, but an inquest was not held be-
cause it was evident that the death
occurred either by the party falling
off the train or by being struck by the
engine while in motion. There were
no bruises to speak of upon his body,
but about his head were injuries and
his neck was dislocated. The de-
ceased proved to be w. w. Holmes,
the eye glass agent from the vicinity
of Woodbine, where the body was
taken for burial. Mr.. Holmes was so
years of age and> is survived by his
wife and children.

A VISIT TO AA'rANe.
Description Of island Home Of Miss
Mamie Giassburner, the Mission.
ary, from Missionary Paper.

We print on page seven an article
taken from the missionary magazine
printed by the Women's Foreign Mis-.
sionary society of the NJ. E. church.
1t has reference to Miss Glassburner
of this county, who is now home on
a vacation after six years on one OF
the hardest fields in China. 1t will
be seen that this girl, just out of her
teens, was sent to an island forty
miles off the coast OF China and was
there practically alone as far as white
friends are concerned for many
months. That she made good, and
planted a strong mission, is to her
great credit. In September she re-
turns to take up her work. Crawford
county has reason to be proud of the
record of this now distinguished wo-
man.

UNIQUE METHOD. D.0F
OBTAINING MONEY
Young Operator Of. Omaha Obtains
$255 From Crawford Co. State n
Bank by False Telegram.
HIS IDENTIFICATION IS WAIVED
lntercepts Telegram to Portland, Ore,
and Comes to Oenison in Person
and Presents Telegram.

One of the banks in the city had an
experience last week which was some
what out of the ordinary, but such
an experience as any bank is liable
to have as long as the practice OF
paying money on kilograms obtains.
1t seems that on July 18th party,
living here wished to have teiegraphed
Ia sum of money to relative in
Portland, Ore, and requested the
Crawford County State bank to attend
to it and this bank according to Gus
tom sent wire to the First National
bank of Portland to pay over to the
party there the amount of money,
which was done without any trouble.
On the 18th of July a telegram came
to the Crawford County State bank
here, purporting to have been sent by
the First National bank of Portland,
requesting the bank. without identifi-
cation, to pay over to James Morris
two hundred and fifty-five dollars.
On the 14th of July some time in the
forenoon party appeared at the
cashiers window of the Crawford
County State bank and enquired If the
bank had message from the bank
at Portland to pay James Morris
$255.OO. He was told that such mess
age was there and then the party
stated he was James Morris and pre-
sented telegram which he had and
which was addressed to James Morris
and signed by J.. w. Morris e Son.

land, Ore. directing him to call at the

ing as it was. To say that he did not
handle his subject in an able manner
would be doing violence to the truth,
but for the first hour of his address,
while laying down the propositions on
which he was later to produce his
arguments, his effort was in sense
labored. The latter part of his ad-
dress was more interesting because
it was witty and carried a degree of
sarcasm. He talked for't two hours and
held the rapt attention of his audi
ence, especially during the latter part
OF it. We are not able to agree with
him in all he advocates and think he
is more radical than the occasion de-
mands. We do not complain because
he touched on political topics, but
think he devoted more time to politics
than was in good form. Everybody
knows he is democrat, but we do not
think the chautauqua platform is the
proper place to attempt to persuade
Everybody else to become democrats.
We hardly expected him to take a
stand against federal control of the
election of United States senator's,
but he went the limit and placed him
self on record as opposed to it. When
he came to the criticism of men who
have acquired large fortunes by ques-
tionable methods he certainly used
strong language as he should He takes
to himself the credit for about all of
the radical legislation which has been
enacted during the administrations of
both Roosevelt and Taft, and it is
probably true that some of the things
which he advocated several years ago
and which were regarded as radical
and dangerous have been enacted in-
to law. 1t may be that enough of his
notions have been adopted to justify
him in patting himself upon the back,
although it cannot be said that the
Bryan platform has been fully en-
dorsed by either the administration Of
Roosevelt or Taft. The force of Mr..

came frightened and started up the

Anti-SaIoon League, With Joseph az
Attorney, Seeks to Enjoin
Saloons in Crawford.
PAPERS NOT SERVED, HOWEVER
Al Phases Of Moon Law Will bo

Into the Courts.

The anti-saloon league of this cOun-
|ty, with it's headquarters at Manila,
lin common with the organization in
other counties, is active again in the
prosecution OF saloons, and has en-
ployed John F. Joseph, Jr., of Sioux
City, TO prosecute the saloons in this
county. Petitions were filed several
days ago against practically all OF the
saloons in the county, but notices have
not been served in any case, presum-
ably because the time of the attorney
lis occupied in other localities. Des
Moines until recently held the center
of the stage in suits against saloons,
but now it is Sioux City claiming the
honors. Injunction suits have been on
trial before the court up there for sew
eral days, but tomorrow a change will
be made in the program, and Grim
inal action will be tried, in which it is
claimed all phases OF the Moon law
will be passed upon D7 the court. The
case will naturally be watched with
some interest.
The Moon law was passed to re-
duce the number of saloons engaged
in each community, and provides that
there will be but one saloon for each
one thousand people. 1t is the con-
tention. however, of those engaged in
the traffic that it does not apply to
saloons which were in legal operation
at the time of it's passage. The rea-
son for this view is found in Section

Ever since the beginning the Segerstrom
Piano Manufacturing Co. has made most won
derful progress in their manufacturing enter
prise. From the first they found a ready and
open market for the popular Segerstrom piano.
Their first factory, with an output of 1000
pianos a year, soon became inadequate for
their steady increasing demand, and they have
now found it necessary to build a new factory
with a capacity for an output of nearly 5000
pianos year. The demand for the Segerstrom
piano in Nebraska and the adjoining states
has been marvellous. Their steadily increasing
business has made it necessary for them to
seek larger display rooms, and they expect to
occupy on or before August l the beautiful
three-story building located on the corner of
Nineteeth and FarnaIn streets. This was
especially arranged for their needs, making
this their permanent wholesale distributing
point for Nebraska and adjoining states.
