It can safely be asserted that Mr Ilerrlek needs no Introduction to he the public, nor can there be any doubt as to either his ability as a workman In the shop and outside, or his general character and reliability.

Mr Herrlck is a young man of rigid factory training to begin with, besides which and most important of all, he la equipped with a long and thoroughly practical repair shop experience; which enables him to con- end with even the worst and most difficult forms of piano and piano action work of every description. Therefore, believing these fncts to be sufficient recommendation to ell who may become (interested. Mr Ilerlck wishes to announce to the people of tho trl-cltles and vlclnl- that he has severed his connec- Ion with the company and earnestly solicits their work at his new shop headquarters, to which be has re moved his entire equipment and tools and where the repairing, rebuilding and tuning of pianos will he conducted even on a more satisfactory plan than before as the facilities are much more complete and adequate to meet all re quirements.

It became apparent by looking care fully into the facts, that In making the requests set out, the regents have merely mado a statement of the pres ent urgant needs of the university ns those who are nenrest and know the university most intimately see those need, if It should seem to any one that a great deal Is asked, the only snswer Is that It takes a great deal to build tip and properly carry on the work of a university, and this Is what Iowa has undertaken to do. The university Is situated In a small city which, In Its beauty and the beauty of Its surroundings, and In Its freedom from many of the diverting activities of a larger city, Is an ideal university town. The university's work Is commanding respect everywhere for Its real soundness and scholarly character. And the friends of fl.

U. as well as ail friends of higher education in the stute, aro greatly interested in meir passage rhe askings are for tnree general purposes: For carrying on tne worn of the university with proper efficiency: for keeping up the present material equipment of tho institution In buildings and apparatus; and for making certain very essential aaoi-tions to this material equipment and to the campus. These requests, as summarised in the biennial report of the regents, and as embodied in the bills referred to, are as follows: Continuance of mileage tax for buildings for five eyars.

Annual Appropriations Increase of support fund $35,000 Support of libraries 10,000 Increase of repair and contingent fund 2,600 Total $47,600 Special Appropriations Purchase of additional lands. $60, 000 Wing for hospital, and equipment 76.000 Engineering shops, hydraulic power house, power connection with dam. and equipment 35, 000 Kniiinment for natural science building 85,000 General equipment and supplies 10,000 Paving and 6,00 0 New boiler 8,600 Total $213,600 Total appropriations. 000 Continuance of MlleKO Tax for Buildings This, the regents say. is a matter of Investment.

The state Is not be In asked to expend money, but to Invest It in permanent equipment. The money put Into the erection, repair and improvement of buildings is do voted to permanent additions to the "plant" to the "flxed capital" of the institution. The law college needs a building. It now shares the old capltol with the administrative offices, and both are unduly crowded. Assembly Holl A permanent assembly hall, large enouah for the entire student hoity, Is a great need, so that all student assemblages can be held within the university, Instead of being obliged to resort to the inadequate halls of the town.

Renovation of Old Capitol The renovation and making Are nroof the old capital is a work to be done by the building tax runn and Is a project which appeals to all who ure interested In the history and traditions of Iowa. It was built In 1840 ns the territorial capltol of Iowa. and hero tho first state legislature met. Woman Hall A woman's hall, under the supervi sion of the university, where such of the young women as desire to do so can live, has come to be in great de mand in the past few years, and the regents plan to use part of tne fund for this purpose. Other needed buildings are a imrnry building, commons for men, where eood and substantial board can be furnished at moderate cost; a chem leal laboratory, a gymnasium, 1 modern physics building and an ex tension of the engineering building.

All of these buildings would aggregate In cost more than twice what the tax would yield for the term It Is desired to be extended. Increase of Support F1um1 The need of Increase In this cur rent expense fund Is imperative Towa Is to continue to hold her hlgn rank among the state universities tho northwest. This Is especially em nhaslzed when Inquiry Is msde into the resources of such representative Institutions a Minnesota, isconsin, Illinois and Michigan. In making- this request, too, stten tlon Is called to "the Increased attend ance. Two years ego the attendance at the university was below Lnst year's figures brought It to 1,560, while this yenr over 200 more stu dents have been added to the rolls rind the number will approximate 1.800.

More students means increase cost, especially now when colleges and iin vets 11ps realize thnt tne most ef ficient work Is done In small classes with large opportunity for personal contact between instructor and stu dent Library Support I uml This Is request to make perma nent the $10,000 a year for library support granted by the last, genera assembly, so that the library may be built up systematically and to tho best purpose Repair Fund Increase This Is the fund for repair and maintenance of buildings. The pres ent $7,500 per annum Is Inadequate and necessity requires that the sum he Increased to $10. 000. The purchase of additional land for the campus Is a matter In which every student, alumnus and friend the university Is very deeply Inter p'ted. The last two legislatures have made appropriations for this pur pose, but.

as In the matter of build lnrs. the work Is only partly done. The university now owns all of th river front for four Mocks, dlrectl In front of the university and the mal part of the cltv; it owns the fou blocks of the old capltol campus; an the hospital campus, one and one-half blocks; and part of the land between The appropriation now asked Is complete the connection betwee these three tracts of property, so that the unity and plan of the whole ma itnear; and so that plans for park Ing and beautifying the campus may he earriea out. Ktnsin of Hnspltaland I'kjiilpment To meet a very pressing need at thi time $75,000 Is asked for the pur nose of enlarging the hospital or gather, ot completlpj the hoipltal by the permission of the city authori ties.

PETERSBURG, March 12. Massacres of Jews on such a scale as even Russia never has seen, tho death of Premier Witte by hanging and return to the old regime of absolutism and oppression is being plan ned Dy tne bureaucracy and reactionary organizations.

The agitation is being pushed to the danger point, and Russia once more is facing a reign of terror. The peasants are being incited to take up arms against the Jews, and Count WItte's friends declare this is likely to result in a race war which may mean death to millions. Steps were taken by reactionary organizations Saturday to further their plans. The "League of the Russian People," formed to forward the move, held a service in Monastery to celebrate the manifesto of March 8 as a victory of the old regime. Later, at the Horse Guard menage, the fighting society of the league held a public meeting and listened to Inflammatory speeches by Dr.

Doubrovln and Professor Nlckolsy, who openly summoned their followers to take up arms against the Jews and Count Wltte. Prince Makes Charges Prince Mestchersky, who supported the Wltte section, charges the bureaucracy with having sympathy with the court clique which Is opposing the plans of the cabinet and with inciting class hatred and strikes, with the purpose of making the national assembly a failure. He quotes Professor as declaring that friends of the autocracy should see that a number of revolutionaries are elected in order to furnish an excuse for dispersing the national assembly with bayonets.
