XEW YORK, Oct. 23. In one of the roughest interclass lights ever witnessed on Ohio Field, four Xew York University students, two freshmen and two .sopho mores, were carried oir the field at the annual Hag rush between the two tinder classes. The two fieshnicn, John (Sid dins, of Plainficld, X. J., and Oscar Hoi, of Staten Island, were the most seriously injured. They were removed unconscious. Joseph Malloy. of Long Island City, and Thomas McCrockcn, of this city, the sophomores, were assisted from the field in an exhausted state. Malloy and McCrocken speedily re vived, but Giddius and Hoi., siilFering from kicks in the groins, did not re gain consciousness for ten minutes; then they were taken to their rooms in Gould Hall, and had so far recovered last night as to lie able to walk. Roth will attend classes to-day. The rush was won by the freshmen, with twenty-eight hands on the llag to twenty-four 1011 hands. Practically every one of the students in the light bore marks of the fracas, and all the one hundred freshmen and seventy-live sophs, who took part in the scrimmage retired hist night with aching muscles. The sophs had only one consolation, they succeeded in wresting from the freshmen, after time had been called, the spoils of war the llag itself. It is the custom at Xew York Univer sity that the class having the greatest number fcf hands on the llag shall keep it.

NO OBSTACLE CHECKED COURSE For Five Years He Worked and Studied Before He Entered University. "Five years ago I didn't know a pro noun; today I am a Freshman in the University of Missouri." So say.s (i. 1. Rirchtiehl, which shows what an infinite amount of hard work, backed by ambition, can do. Rirchtiehl was born on a farm near Marceliue, O., and the story of hi life is unique. He started to school after the fall work was done and had to stop on special occasions, such as hog killing times. In the spring the farm ing began long before the country school was out. He took little interest in books and leccived little encourage ment at home. At the age of sixteen Rirchlield fell into the hands of a pretty school teach er, who saw in the boy a line prospect for a Useful man. She encouraged him and interested him in books. The mul tiplication table he learned in two weeks. And so well (lid he know it that never could he be "stalled"' on nine limes nine or seven times eight. Learned Self-Reliance. U(hiu the farm Rirchlield learned to handle machinery and stock and to rely upon his own resources. This proved a good lesson later. At the age of nine teen he started out to make his for tune; where, he didn't know and cared less, lie borrowed :?12 from his father and set out to see the world. He had a cheap suit of clothes for Sunday and a suit of overalls for evervdav. His "extras" he carried in a small telescope. First Rirchlield went to Kansas City, On the train he met four young fellows on their way to Oklahoma, but he soon parted company with them, for they ate more than he could afford. He arrived in Kansas City at night and made his first acquaintance with met lopolitan life. He paid twenty-five cents for a bed near the station and bought his breakfast for fifteen cents.

Every person who has attended the Missouri State Fair and entered fully into the spirit of its uplifting environ ment, is impressed with its educational value. The highest degree of skill in both animal and plant life is exhibited, and agriculture is shown in this phase as one of the great arts. Competition runs high, for the farmer selects his best to send to the fair and his exhibit is the acme of all lie has pro duced of that kind. It has the quality in its make-up and possesses the lines of symmetry that come the closest to his ideal. The judge's task is a dillicult one; he measures all by close scrutiny and se lects those in the class nearest to his ideal type. Good reasons are back of the judge's decision. If one follows the judge carefully he will find that invar iably the unbiased official bases his de cisions on certain definite qualities and characteristics which arc clearly discer nible to the trained eve. This ear of corn has well-filled, even rows, well rounded tip, full butt and symmetrical proportion-; while that apple presents marked characteristics in general ap pearance and flavor superior to its com panions. The same in the show ring with live stock. All animals differ in some degree and it is this point of diflerence that enables deci-ions to be made. Then each type measured to the ideal type in the mind of the judge determines the w inner. This striving to reach ideal types is manifest in every department at this great State institution. The incentive to those who attend the fair and ob serve closely all exhibit-, is not only to admire the art of the exhibits but to go home and strive for the higher ideals that are there represented. The man who stavs at home and never at tends any fair falls in a rut and follows it. The farmer attending the Fair gets ideas represented by other farming in the state and sees wherein he can better hi- own products and methods. The State Fair has just enough enter taining features in the way of horse lacing, acrobatic perfoimances. etc.. to make it attractive to all clas-es of peo ple. This draws the people together, gives opportunity for all to meet in good fellowship and helps fo make a better spirited world. THE .NATIONAL GUARD. The Mi ouri National Guard fur nishes aid to the state in time of dis order, such a- riot-. It consists of several hundred men who are divided into companies of varving size, accord ing to the nunilier of men in cadi town. They drill in a hall at night, for the menil)crs are working men and cannot drill in the daytime. Each summer the different companies Oct. 31. Nov..l4. Nov. 19. Dec. 4. Dec. 18. camp out at some place selected by the ate. Last Rummer two weeks were spent in the encampment. The first week was at Swope Park in Kan sas City and consisted of rifle practice at the 200, 300 and 300 yard ranges. The first day on the rifle range is not interesting, as the soldier thinks more of the roaring of the guns than of his -core. But on the second day the bull's eve seems to remain steady in the cen ter of the peep hole and hits are at least on the target. By the end of the week, every shot is taken carefully as the soldier has the chance to win a marks man's medal. The second week of the encampment T- 1 .1... was at l-ori ituey, rvaii., niicm ---National Guard from several states was a.ssembled. The exercises there consist ed mostly of sham battles. To the private it was merely a long march, then alternate firing at the enemy from a protected position and running toward the enemy under cover of the hill. But to the General it was the solving of valuable military problems. It was fun to shoot the blank cartridges, but more like work to march and march and march till the feet dragged and the appetite seemed more important than love or fame. The campus south of Academic Hall could be gieatly improved by the ex pendituie of a little time, labor and money. At present it resembles the Nevada deserts. TOLD ACROSS THE BREAKFAST TABLE "The American people are too careless about selecting the books they read." the solicitor for the Oven announced with an abruptness that nearly caused the football man to drop the cream pitcher. "Now jou've caught it, too. I knew it would happen when you persisted in going to the library assembly hour, to watch that Home Economics "irl at the next table," the Junior Medic re plied with just a trace of triumph in his voice. "What has the selection of books to do with library flirtations?" the Fresh man demanded. "Just a minute, Freshie, this melo drama has two acts," the Medic con tinued. "Like the bad man at the Co lumbia theater, everybody but the hero knows he is the villain, just so with our friend here. If he had not been too busy watching that girl trying to keep the wind from mussing up her hair and read at the same time, he would have seen the danger, too. No, it doesn't matter what she was leading. One of those twenty-page-to-a-picturc adven ture novels that are about as stimulat ing as swimming in a duck pond "I never said that. I only heard her usk for the book," the indignant solic itor blurted out. "The next time," the Junior Medic went on, unmoved, "she gets busy with her novel again her silent admirer picks up a copy of the 'Bookman' and reads a discussion on the decline of literature. So when Home Economics still refuses to look up, he begins to believe some of the stuH in that literature article him self. The more she reads the surer he becomes about it until he believes him self a convert." "That's rot," the solicitor for the Oven declared. "I was going to say when interrupted, that the average man spends more time every morning select ing a tie than he would in picking out a book. The matter of clothes is consid ered more important than 'Just a minute, please," grinned the football man. "Can you explain why you arc late to classes every morning lately, and how your shoes come to be shined so surprisingly often This was the last straw and declaiing them to be a bunch of idiots the solic itor departed in a huff, not quickly enough, however, to avoid hearing the wag make some reference to sour grapes.

Learoyd, managing editor of the New York Evening Post, writes to the Department of Journalism, expressing his appreciation of the University Mis- souiian and his de-ire to receive it on the exchange list of the Post.

The St. Louis Times, in commenting editorially upon the Department of Journalism of the University of Mis--ouri, and the University Missourian. says "Certain it is that the little paper which the school is printing is a thoro ughly workmanlike example of what should come from the hand of a practi cal journalist. "While we are by no means sure that the plan will be ultimately successful in turning out equipped newspaper workers, we feel that it is so far ahead of any similar endeavor that it may be called a success." SCHOOL OF SANITARY SCIENCE IS ADVOCATED Columbia University Bulletin Shows That a Vast Number of Deaths are Preventable Tuberculosis Claims Millions. H' UMANITY long has dreamed of the time when preventable death would be banished from civilied life, when the avoidable diseases which annually claim thousands and tens ol thousands of infants and adults, and when insanity, poverty and crime, all of which are in part at least the effect of di-ease, would no longer exist anywhere to claim their toll of lives and their toll of riches. How vast is this number of prevent able deaths and how great is the cost which it places upon civilization is shown in an article iu the supplement to the Columbia Quarterly, published by the authorities of Columbia Univer sity. The article is entitled "Education and Its Economic Value in the Field of Preventive Medicine. The Need for a School of Sanitary Science and Public Health." It is now proposed to estab lish such a school as a part of the uni versity, and Dr. Ditman marshals an array of facts that leaves no room to doubt that an organization working along the lines suggested would prove an incalculable blessing to human kind. The article states: "One-third of the human lieings born ilive die before the age of ."i vears has been attained, largely from preventable causes. The death rate of children in some tenement-house districts in New- York is as high as 204 per 1.0(10 five times as high as in the well-to-do dis tiicts. The number of deaths occurring in the world from epidemics of plague. mallpox, yellow fever and cholera is still enormous, in spite of the fact that methods for prevention of these diseases are known. EACI 09a of ACH year the world yields up 1,- 095,000 our own country 100,000 its inhabitants as a sacrifice to tuberculosis, although this loss is not necessary; the avoidable losses from diphtheria, rabies and malaria are also enormous. Pneumonia kills 100,000 peo ple in the United States annually, and the number is increasing rapidly, yet the cause of this disease is known and it should be in our power to stamp it out. "Twenty-five thousand people in the United States who are needlessly blind could have had their vision saved hail the causes of blindness and methods for its prevention been widely enough ap preciated. Of the twenty-eight thous and insane people in New York State, a large number could have escaped in sanity had a proper knowledge of the causes of the malady been disseminated. "Five hundred thousand people arc killed or crippled every year in this country as a result of preventable acci dents. One-fourth of the distress which manifests itself from poverty is caused by sickness largely preventable, and one-half is the result of alcoholism also preventable. In like manner one half of the crimes committed in New York State are due to alcohol as one of the causes. "There are few departments of civic, municipal, state or national administra tion where the promise for the direct accomplishment of economic gain is so certain of fulfillment as in the field ot reduction of disease, accident and pov erty by methods of prevention. A FEW concrete statements will suffice to illustrate this: "While the annual loss to this country from preventable deaths is .$(00,000,000 annually, England, by Un employment of preventive measures, during nine years (18S0-9) saved 2S3.20ii.000 as the result of an expendi ture of .$378,000,000. "By a l eduction of its death rate dur ing the last twenty-five years the City of New Y'ork has saved .$13040.000. The epidemic of smallpox in Philadel phia in 1891 cost that city .$22,000,000. Measures suitable for its prevention would have cost .$700,000. "The epidemic of yellow fever in 1878 tost the country $100,000,000, while as a result of Major Reed's preventive meas ures in Cuba the commercial interests of the world are saved a greater finan cial loss each ear than the cost of the entire Cuban war. New York City' annual loss from tuberculo-is is $23.- 000,000 that of the United State- is .$3.-;0,000.000 a whollv needless lo-. "The annual cost to the State of New York for the maintenance of public in stitutions for the pauper, the insane, the blind, the epileptic and the tuber cular is .$11. ."00,000. From an economic point of view, then, it is seen that rarely can investment be made more profitably than through action by which -iekness. poverty, accident and crime are obviated. "The last decade has been marked in this country, by two notable effort eonceived for the determination of the cause of physical and social evil-, by the establishment of the Sage Found.-.- j through the centuries, the day has at tion and the Rockefeller Institute the j last arrived when, the instruments hav former being chiefly concerned with the ing W-n placed in his hands, he is able social, the latter with the pathological to drive back suffering and desolation." contributory factors of these conditions. "Both institutions are of fundamen tal and extreme importance, and neces sary for the next great advance in the field of prevention education. In order, then, to complete the efficiency of both institutions in the accomplishment ot practical ends it is essential that means shall be found to transmit the knowledge thus acquired regarding the causative factors of disease, crime, poverty, etc., to the ultimate desired goal individ uals, homes and administrative depart ments having jurisdiction over these fields. w IIILE research into the causes of the conditions under considera tion will effectively increase our power to cuib these conditions, a grati fying guaranty of effectiveness, in our attempts at such reform arises from the fact that the knowledge which we al le.uly poess in regal d to their causes is sullicient, if it were applied thiough proper educational means, to relieve a l.tlge part of the sulleiing of mankind. "The foundation upon which an insti tution of sauitaiy science and prevent ive medicine must lie based "rests upon the field of public hygiene, which is that biauch of social science which concerns the physical condition of communities. It embraces a consideration of the va rious influences operating upon society, whether for its material good or its actual deterioration, with the view of extending the former and preventing or ameliorating, as far as possible, the ef fects of the latter. It involves the en actment of laws by which the safety ot the whole may be protected against the errors of a part and. alove all, it aims at the prevention of disease by the icmoval of its avoidable causes. M EMBERS of the state boards of health are energetic, intelligent and progressive in many of the states, but in some no sanitary work of importance is done, and, broadly speaking, in the rural districts and in the towns and smaller cities of this country, especially in the South and West, the sanitary methods are of the crudest type. "In this country the efficiency of the administration of our public health ser vice can be best assured only by a de mand on the part of the state that its medical ollicers shall have had the full special training requisite for the per formance of their particular duties. It should therefore, and ultimately will, be made obligatory that no one shall be appointed medical officer of health who cannot present a diploma from some recognized teaching liody, showing that he has pas-ed u satisfactory ex amination, written and practical, in the subject of publie health and state medi cine. LV EFORE -uch a condition can be en forced, however, facilities for the training of such men must lie in operation. The supply for such a de mand can only lm filled by a school of -unitary science and preventive medi cine. The scope of such an institu tion is a broad once. The complete at tainment of its ends can only 1k ac complished I iy enlisting the aid of all associated fields of effort. "In connection with hospital laborato ries, health boards, etc., research should lie instituted into the features of pre ventable disease, and such subjects as tilt? investigation and preparation of an titoxins, vaccines, etc., for the preven tion and cure of disease also investiga tion of such subjects as the efficiency of filtration and disinfection methods, etc. Fellow-hips should lie founded, the holders of which, by availing themselve of material from institutions such as the Sage Foundation, the Rockefeller 'Institute, health boards, etc., .should strive to solve such problems as the following: "The best methods for the prevention of alcoholism, preventable accidents, in sanity and social conditions causing dis ease (child labor, etc.). "The collection of social and vital sta tistics for specific purposes. "Relations between varieties of food and di-ea-e.

CAMPUS PHILOSPOHY When Zeke Hankins entered the Uni versity, he lielieved every man told the truth until he was proved a liar. After being told that snipe hunting was a great pastime; after receiving the sec ond degree in several fake fraternities, attempting to purchase "strap oil" at the grocer's and failing to get his shoes repaired at the "Co-Op," together with a few other little eve-openers, he has come to the conclusion that every man should lie considered a liar until it is ab solutely proved that he tells the truth. What has ln-come of all the aledic torians and brilliant high school schol ars? They seem to have melted out of sight since entering the Universitv. Two "Co-ed-," who had not spoken to each other for more than a year, made up the other day. They had for gotten what they had "fallen out" over. Did you ever see a man who forgot why he had a grudge against some one? A student, who, by the way, happened to be a carrier for the University Mis sourian, gave the following example of hyperbole in the Freshman English class the other day: "The modern tendency of sub-cribers for a newspajK-r when they miss one issue to complain to the circulation manager that they have not had a paper for a week."

These sand suckers have been used for a long time on the Mississippi and Missouri rivers for sucking up the sand from the bottom. This sand, which is free from mud and large stones, is used for building purposes. In Kansas City a genius who saw the sandsuckers at work conceived the idea of using it to fill up a swampy hollow which the M., Ix. T. Railroad wished graded up to level. ITe put the pipe down to the bottom of the Kaw River and the pump was upon a barge anchor ed in the center of the river. The pow erful pump sucked the sand and water up and forced it through a pipe a mile long over a high hill, and discharged it upon the land. In this way the whole valley was filled.

Maude Adams scored a distinct success in the first American production at the Apollo Theatre of J. M. Barrie's comedy '"What Every Woman Knows." New Yorkers in the audience found the actress in her new role of Maggie Wylie, spinster, under contract to wed John Shand, a poor youth who becomes an M. P., more of the artist than in any of her previous successes. She appears to special advantage in the econd act, which ends with a mob scene that is very effective. Mis Adam's role is that of the daughter of a Scotch quarry owner. Iter father and her two brothers are self-made men with great respect for the learning of which they themselves possess so little. The brothers esteem it something of a disgrace that Macsie ha not been sought in marriage by any of the young men of the neighbor hood. She does not see any disgrace in this, but when her brothers catch John Shand after he has entered their li brary like a thief to make u-e of the books he is too poor to bur and offer him freedom and money to finish his education if only he will marry her, she willingly consents. Shand also consents after due deliberation, and sticks to his bargain even when Maggie, seeing his reluctance, refuses to hold him to it. The marriage takes place and then comes the story of the making of a man by a man's wife, told in Barrie's best manner. The supporting company, with Richard Bennett as John Shand, Peyton Carter, David Torrence, Fred Tyler, Flolliott Paget and Beatrice Ag new, is capable. BIBLES IN ROOMS OF EVERY HOTEL Gideons Plan Great Task for the Evangelization of Traveling Men. MISSOUR ALUMN BIG MEETING IN KANSAS CITY Field Secretary Outlines the Schemes of Organization for Doing Good. IN FAR NORTHWEST Many Leading Schools Are Represented in Rich Oregon District. ENGAGED IN FRUIT-GROWING To Compete for Cotton Trade. Ity t'nited Press. NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 23. The Gulf Transport Line lias entered this port in opposition to the Leyland Harrison lines. They will compete for the cotton trade. Liverpool promises to put on eleven steamers if they are needed. A virtual control probably will ensue, rate war with those lines which had KANSAS CITY, Oct. 23. An organized movement to place a Bible in the rooms of every hotel in the United States was formulated at a meeting of the "Gid eons," an organization of Christian trav eling men, at the Grand Avenue Metho dist church here. C. T. Bowers, of Lincoln, Neb., na tional field secictary of the "Gideons," reviewed the history of the society since its organization, July 1, IS!)!), and ex plained to a deeply interested audience the plan to supply Bibles for the u.-e of guests, in the hotels throughout the country. "Of the COO.OOO and mote traveling men in this country," said Mr. Bowers, '3,000 only, are 'Gideons,' and yet it is the largest mission effort eer or ganized that does its work at its own expense, and asks no help from the churches. We hae begun this crusade to place Bibles in the hotels throughout the country, in the interest of those who might, if given the opportunity, be led bj these simple means to turn from a life of unhappiness to one of usefulness. Many a young man and young woman, tempted almost beyond their strength, far from home and Christian influences might have been saved at a crucial moment, had there been an opportunity given to read the living words of truth, from the Hook of God." The speaker deplored the faet that among people in general the traveling man is too often underrated and help up to the public view as a creature of low intellect and uncertain morality. "The announcement, a few years ago. that a society of traveling men was be ing formed for religious purposes, or that the services of a church would be devoted to a religious meeting for trav eling men, would have been received with incredulous smiles," said Mr. Bow ers. "The traveling men as a class have been sadly neglected, and yet you will find the average traveling man to be of more than ordinary intelligence, liberal to a fault and ready and willing at all times to asist those in distress. Give me 60,000 traveling men, converted to the cause of Christ, using in their relig ious work the same energy that they put into their business dealings, and within twenty-five years this great country of ours will have been won to the cause of Christ." Gideon Was a Warrior. The organization took its name from the youthful Hebrew warrior, "Gideon," who. as the Bible relates, attacked, with an inferior force, the powerful Midian- ite army and put them to rout. The soldiers of "Gideon" were provided with pitchers and trumpets. When the at tack was made, they broke the pitch ers and blew the trumpets, thus adding to the terror and confusion of the ene my. When the question of choosing a name for the organization which was to fight against the powerful forces of evil was brought up, they decided upon the name "Gideon." ''I believe that much of the success which has crowned our efforts has liccn due to the little button we wear," said Mr. Bowers. "If you sit down near a traveling man and engage in a conversa tion with him he' is almost certain to ask the meaning of the emblem you wear. A white pitcher on a field of blue. To the man zealous in the work of his Master, this is sufficient opening to tell of the Christian life and the effort being made for the good of man kind in general and the traveling men in particular. "We realize the magnitude of the work we have undertaken. There are many, many persons anxious to learn more of Christianity and they must learn it through human instrumental it J." Speaking of the vast expense of plac ing Bibles in the hotels of the country. Mr. Bowers said: "We are not asking for outide aid. The traveling men of this country will find a means of surmounting the diffi culties which face them in this work. Wp may be compelled to go slowly and equip one city at a time, but ret as sured that what we have begun we will finish; and the time is not far distant, when a young man or woman, tired and discouraged by the vicissitudes of the day, intead of going to their room in the hotel to sit and brood over their troubles, will lie enabled to gain strength and courage from the Bible, placed in their room through the ef forts of the 'Gideons.' F. L. Kelso Writes of Banquet of the Newly-Formed University Club. Columbia Theater F. L. Kelso, a graduate of the Col lege of Agriculture of the University of Missouri, writes to the University Missourian. under date of Oct. 17: "Tonight the writer with four other graduates of the University of Missouri had the pleasure of attending the first annual banquet of the Hood Biver, Ore., University Club. This club was organ ized a short time ago with a charter membership of eighty-six, three of whom are Missouri men. All of the members and about forty visitors were present at the banquet. There were in attendance many prominent farmers and business men of the Pacific North west. Nearly all the leading colleges and universities of the United States were represented, including Yale, Prince ton, Harvard, Pennsylvania. Michigan. Missouri, Columbia. Cornell, California and Oregon Agricultural College. Missouri Alumni Present. "The former students of Missouri present were Dr. Arnold, M. 1)., "00; A. .1. Miller, Agr.. '00; Homer C. Green. Agr., 'or; W. B. binham, Agr., '07, and F. L. KeNo, Agr., '07, all of whom are engaged in fruit-growing or other bus iness in the Hood Itiver District. At the banquet college spirit ran high and the Missourians yelled with old-time energy for their Alma Mater. "Membership in the club is limited to graduates of eolleges or universities of recognized standing, or to two years' work in such institutions. The club has arranged for convenient and comfortable quarters where the members may have the usual club advantages. "Probably no other section in the country, with an equal population, can boast of so many college men. Hood Kiver is a village with a population ot 2,000 and the famous fruit valley in which it is located has 5,000 inhabitants. In the village and valley there are 115 college graduates, nearly all of whom are engaged in fruit-growing. Farming Highly Developed. "This exceptionally fertile valley con tains about 7.000 acres of cultivated land and ten acres is considered a large ranch. Land sells from $150 for un improved farms to 1,000 for bearing orchards. Intensive and scientific farm ing has reached a development not sur passed any place in the world and this accounts for the large number of college-trained men. A net profit of $000 to $1,000 an aere is not uncommon. Last year fancy fruit from this district brought as high as $12 a box in New York City. "The cool, pleasant summer months and the short, mild winters make Hood 1'iver a delightful place to live in. Col lege men and intelligent farmers are the leaders and social conditions are much better than in most rural communities."
