"ALtARAISO UNIVERSITY was organized September 16, 1873 as the Northern Indiana Normal School
V of Valparaiso, Indiana. There were 3 departments, 4 instructors, 35 students and a part of what is
now known as the Old College Building. The institution was. organized with the idea of giving to all, both
rich and poor, a thorough, practical education at the least expense and in the shortest time. Departments were
added from time to time and it was found necessary to change the charter to Valparaiso College. However,
the growth of the institution advanced each year and in a short time the name was changed to Valparaiso
University with the following departments: Preparatory, Teachers', Kindergarten, Primary, Pedagogy, Manual
Training, Scientific, Classical, Higher English, Civil Engineering, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Law,
Pharmacy, Medical, Dental, Elocution and Oratory, Music, Fine Art, Commercial, Penmanship, Phonography
and Typewriting, Review. It now has students from all parts of the world, the enrollment last year was 5551
different students. The buildings and equipments of the institution have cost more than a million dollars. Its
graduates are holding excellent positions in every State and territory in the United States, as well as in other
countries, and the demand for them is greater than can be supplied. The school offers the advantages of the
high-priced schools at an expense within the reach of every one. Marshall County has been one of the greatest
patrons of the school and its influence is especially noticable among all the schools throughout the country. Many
of our professional men as well as teachers have been students at this institution. Valparaiso University was one of
the first institutions to continue its work the entire year. In addition to its regular classes it gives teachers and those
employed at certain periods of the year an opportunity of attending as they may be able,
Valparaiso University is an institution where students are known not by the amount of money they expend, but by the work they do. The growth of
the school has been enormous and still continues. The institution has purchased buildings and equipments for its medical and dental departments in
Chicago, at a cost of $300,000. Two years of the medical work may be taken in Valparaiso where a building has been erected especially for this
purpose. The medical department this year has an enrollment of 500 different students and the dental department, 350, making these the largest
medical and dental schools in the west.
No department his been organized until the management has been able to equip it fully so that those who entered would be certain to have the highest grade rf instruction. At no time has thoroughness of the work been
sacrificed in order to make the expenses low. Specialists, only, are employed as instructors and the institution is deserving oi its prosperity. Wc know the school would be glad to give any information upon application.

Captain Crook of
IW1 Culver SS
One of the most interesting
characters of Culver is Capt. Oliver
Crook. vl;. lor the pat twenty
tiw years, has been a familiar figure
to all the visitors who annually
speuil their summer vacation at this

to him familiarly from end to end.
When the captain settled in Culver
twenty-tive years ago. the town had

Mayor IJowell is the first mayor
in many years, if not the first one
in Plymouth, who hears the city
cases and gives his decisions. Prior
to this, both Mayor Logan and May
or Cleveland,- not wanting to bother
with thes matters, always turned
over thee cases to the Justices of
the peace. The law provides, how
ever, that the Mayor shall hold
court, am1. Mayor Powell is living
strictly up to the letter.
At the last session of the council
the city allowed the bill of "NVm.
Re?d for the injury of his horse by
some 'old iron in the street at the
junk house of Myer Franklin. Thürs
day Mr. Uowell went to Mr.
Franklin and asked him to pay the
city V e $2.". Franklin refused.
Whereupon Mr. Tiowell at once
haled him into .Mayer's court and
find him $2." and costs for obstruct
ing the streets.
Truly, ye Mayor is doing some
business.

ONE CENT POSTAGE
Government Also Operates the Tele
phones and Telegraph Lines, In
Addition to Carrying Letters
and Parcels.
The report of the postoflice de
partment for thel'n ited Kingdom
the fiscal year, shows a profit of
$21,000,000 and this moreover after
pacing a loss of $5.500,000 for tele
graph deficit, and another loss of
$200,000 on its telephone depart
ment. In Great Britian all the com
mercial telegraph business, and most
of the telephone service is operated
by the government. While it is
true that the wages of postal em
ployes there are very much lower
than here., and the average distance
a letter isca rr'eil is less than in
the United States, yet the domestic
letter rate is but one cent of our
money. Moreover, a large parcel
post business is handled, Amounting
to over five billion pieces, while
there were only three billion letters.
Over one billion packages were car
ried for a half-penny, or one cent oi
our monev, each.
In view of the fact that the t
English ai'e not as voluminous letter
writters for business and social "pur
poses as the Americans, and that
the parcel rate is low there and
high here, it would seem as if our
own postal department might be
al le to so manage its affairs as to
auid any loss without increasing
the rate of postage on any class of
matter, and to establish a parcel
I ost rate which would serve the
people without involving any loss in
doing so. Thousands of small shop
icepers in London, for example,
have no other means of delivering
purchases. You step into a store on
the Strand and buy a book, a hair
brush, a box of cigars, and the par
cels post gets it out to your resi
dence six or eight miles distant al
most as quickly as you get there
yourself. It is the salvation of the
shop keeper in the small towns, who
can order goods he cannot afford to
"stock" and get what Iiis customer
wants, quickly and at the cost of one
or two cents, or less, for m postage.
The country dealer in fighting the
parcels post, especially as proposed
as local on rural routes only, is
fighting his own best friend, al
though he does not know it. lie has
not made its acquaintance, and fails
to comprehend his own possible op
portunities. Not a hundred miles from Chica
go is a town of about 3,500 people.
Ten years ago many of its merchants
bitterly epposed the construction of
an electric line between that place
and a little hamlet of perhaps 100
people. 10 miles distant. It was
argued the new road would build
up another town and all the farmer
trade in that section would be lost.
The line was built, the little hamlet
has grown to a town of more than
1.000 inhabitants, with waterworks,
electric lights, telephone exchange,
fire department and all that: and
the trade from that section with the
old and large town never was, and
never would have been, anything like
what it is today, but for the road.

cept that Jacob, Isaac and John
Witz wero not to be paid directly,
