ho unusual tribute was paid to the oldest manufacturer of gasoline engines in this country. There were no less than thirty Reos owned by Lansingites that acted as exclusive escorts to the nation's honored thief in both going to and returning from the famous college grounds, which are situated three miles east of the capitol building. It was President Roosevelt's lirst ride in an automobile upon a public occasion of this nature, and he was Immensely The round trip was made without a single hitch of any sort Little Volcano Near Paris. PARIS At this moment, when all the world Is occupied with the new vagaries of the Stromboll, It is not without interest to note that visitors to Paris do not need to go so far to see a volcano in activity. It is true that this volcano, which Is on the Marseilles Saou, a tiny village of Inhabitants, is only a miniature one and Is almost insignificant.

Still, in September, this small volcano set to vomiting stones and belching forth black, thick smoke. During the last five or six days It has resumed Its operations and the villagers arc In such fear that they have left the houses near the volcano and have sought securer places of abode, farther away.

A meeting of the leaders for reform is expected some time during the class reunions of the commencement season. The action they will take is-boing awaited with interest. Football Outlook Good.

The prospects for a good football squad at ln-ake, next fall when school opens, ute the best that have faced the authorities for several seasons, laat year the freshmen exclusion rule barred from competition some strung men who are expected to more than make good the coming season. A number of veteran men. are expected back and they will form a good nucleus about which the green maleriul can be gathered. On the line, Hoffman, the captain. Nelson, Coyner, Boner, Barr and Bush are all expected hack.

From the freshman squad of last year a valuable addition to the i-arsity will he Herrick; he weighs, stripped, 180, is short and fast on his teet. When once he gete started he is expected to develop into a whirlwind. On a try-out he is looked for to make good at end. Purdy, a divinity student, who played two years ago on the I'niversity of Indiana second team, is booked also for a position. Wilson, who made a fast half for the scrubs last year, will be back in school.

He expects tu work in the Kansas wheat fields this summer and will return in the best physical condition. H. VVoodrow.at end, is also a factor to be reckoned with by other aspirants for this position. At quarter already three good men are In prospect. Last year Finch and Kvans alternated on the first team aud Denny and Van Meter on the scrubs.

The inedibility of the two latter forbade their offering competition last year, but they will be In the field good and strong next season. Mitchell and Havens are good consistent players with a bright future before them. Conaway, it is hoped, will be persuaded to don a moleskin once more. His presence will do much to strengthen the- team and add to the. weight.

fans, have you kept vour eve on that Minneapolis team of the American association? Well. It will bear watching. When the present series begHR on their home grounds they Were a helpless last. Then Joe Cantillon shook up the team, sent a hunch of real ball players to the town, and they are now in first place, with a fair prospect of not being bended again this season. What hns been the financial result to Manager Cantillon by sending this i rack bunch to Minneapolis? Oh, nothing at all.

In) the last three Sunday games at home fans paid admission to the grounds. That Is great bg National and American league business. Their sensational spurt from the lust team In the race to leaders has made them a great drawing card on the rnHd. and the Can-tlllons will more than reap the harvest of the big Investment. Pes Moines Is not going to suit Cantillon now.

He wants a winner and a leader and he has already decided to send "Nig" Perrine to that city and Charlie Comiskey is going to release a fielder, and a Pitcher is coming from somewhere else. Then keep your eye. on the water drinkers, for they are arter that flag for tile third time in succession, and with Cantillon as owner of the club, their chances are very bright to land.

WHEELS HIGH AND PRICE LOW THE MACHINE IS INTENDED TO SELL AT $300. It is Designed for Men Who Can Afford Only a Moderate Priced Machine. The Monarch Machine company. 307-311 East First street, will enlarge Its plant at once, employ twenty or twenty-five men In addition to Its jiresent force, and ngage In the manufacture of a new high grade wheel automobile. The company has Invented and secured patents for a machine which can be manufactured and Bold for about (woo.

It Is believed it has solved tile problem of an automobile built like an ordinary road buggy, that will track on ordinary country roads, that Is simple of operation, and which can be bought by the average man for the same rrlce as a horse and buggy. One of the first automobiles put out by the company has been on the streets for some days past and has aroused much interest. It is said by the management of the company to have demonstrated Its possibilities on the steep grades In the city and out, both rain and shine, and its especial adaptation to the average rural highway. A Large Market for It. The manufacturers believe that there Is a demand tor a strong, well built, moderate priced car.

Already the demand for high priced autos has far exceeded the output, and It goes without saying that thousands of town and country doctors. lawyers, mercnants and rural man carriers are wishing lor an auto with which they may handle their business to better advantage. Tins class of people could not use one of the larger type of heavy machines with wide tires off of paved streets In all kinds of weather with the same absolute assurance of certainty aa In this narrow solid rubber tire and high wheel type. Variable speeds can be obtained with the Monarch car from four to fiflten miles per hour. It negotiates the ordinary grades on the high or fast gear, and the extra heavy grades on the tow gen r.

The Monarch automobile Is finished In a first class manner and makes a very neat, buggy in appearance. It Is finding ready sale at the exceedingly low price at which It is marketed. The entire car Is built by the Monarch Machine company at its factory and sold under guaraplee. Kvery rig Is thoroughly tried and tested before leaving the factory. All interested parties are welcomed 10 the factory, where demonstrations are given at any time.

With the selection of Barry Conaway to the captaincy of next year's track team, the return of Drake's star weight man Is practically assured. It was feared for a time by his friends that the many flat-tering inducements offered by the larger universities in the east would tempt him to make his exit from Iowa athletics. It Is now generally believed that the honor awarded him by his associates will be instrumental in his reconsidering plans for next year that he is understood to have had tinder consideration. That Conaway merits the confidence which has been placed In him by his team mates is attested to by his recent record breaking performances in the slate meet and the good showing made at Chicago. The recognition has been won by hard and consistent training nd is a source of much gratification to his ous friends and admirers.

Criticism Beneficial. The recent severe criticism offered by the alumni upon the question of the future management of Ijrake athletics has bad thus far a very beneficial effect. A renovation of. the old system and a reorganisation of the athletic hoard on a belter working basis, was effected at a recent meeting. It is understood that the outbursts of student indignation were anything but toothing upon the nerves of board members, but the Justness of the objections rained made immediate consideration imperative.

The policy of the board henceforth. It li understood, will be on a more liberal basis. Hitherto methods have been rathor loose and responsibility shifting. The new board will put forth an effort to remedy this evil and subdivide the committee work in such a manner as to make use of systematic business methods. The question of financial stringency has been the dominant problem In the past and on this score certain -members of the board tske exception to criticism of the alumni, who, they claim, were not cognisant of the true conditions.

A Successful Season. The financial success, however, of the season Just closed will make the furnishing of equipment next year an absolute certainty. Track shoes" Bulls and jerseys, according to the resolution of the board, will bo dispensed free of charge to the men and better quarters will be furnished. This is without precedent In Drake athletics and meets the approval of the belligerent students. Further, arrangements are being contemplated for student representation on a different basis next year.

The demand for student members that shall represent the whole student body and not one organisation, has been heeded and a It Is Real Merit Not advertising that Bells and. creates a demand for TIieGIasgow's $15.00 Suits You can't buy clothing like ours elsewhere for the same money.

Some of them even think that prices of automobiles will advance. They admit that prices are a trifle high now. a fact due to the unprecedented demand and the top notch prices that the manufacturers are paying for raw materials. Another thing that tends to keep the price up Is the constant improvement of details of construction.
