Predicts Increased output of silver.

The surprising drop in the silver
market Will not have any noticeable
effect on silver mining in Colorado.
in the opinion of f. M. Carroll, state
mining commissioner. People In this
state pay little or no attention to the
fluctuation of .the market" said he
ut is queer psychological fact that
silver miners here pay little attention
to fall in the market, but consider
ably more attention to rise. II the
market goes up after this drop. the
production of silver may increase far
more than II the market had been
stable"
Carroll expects large increase in
the output of silver this year, prob
ably surprising that of last year. when
Colorado produced more silver than
it had for years and showed signs OF
again coming into its own in the sill
yer market.

Omaha men are playing prominent
parts in the development Of the new

these men is Lieutenant Lloyd E.
Thrush, who has charge OF press head
quarters and who was born at Fort
Omaha. Thrush lived in Omaha for
a number of years and although never
having worked regular on any of the
papers there he will be remembered
by all of the older men. After leaving
Omaha Thrush went west, where he
devoted great deal of his time to
publicity and press work.
At this camp he has entire charge OF
the press work and has a large staff
Of newspaper men working with him
handling the work. Chicago and other
paper men found in camp have been
assigned to press headquarters for
duty, both among the men and off,

University of Omaha
C0-Eds Raise Matrimonial
Prerequisites to $1,000

The University of Omaha goods
have raised their matrimonial pre-
requisites from $500 to, $4,000 per
annum as an income, Last year the
young women of the economic classes
produced much literature and statis-
tics showing that university grad
uated couple could not live decently
on less than $l25 a month.
But, according to present prices,
they were forced to raise their de-
mands. The subject was taken up in
the sophomore rhetoric class. OF the
20 goods taking part. all but one an
nounced that her items totalled about
$1,000 per year. One Of the girls went
as low as $1,000 per Year.
1t ought to be kept in mind. how
ever, that the $1,000 applied to a
family OF five. 1t also includes a
certain sum put away for future neces-
sity. Charities and other forms of
benevolence were included.
The young woman who required
but 81 900 claimed that person can
be fed on rs cents day. The last
assertion was challenged by her sis
ter students, but the coed would not
60 back on her statement. She will
tell the class later how she can do it.
The boys, too, agreed with the
$1,000 girls. Some of them apollo
gized to the goods for attributing
hi-flutin ideas to them last year
when they asked for Sl,s00. Some
vent so far as to compliment the
goods on being able to run home
on Sl25 per month when it seemed to
require $50.
