Girl Student Is a Thief.

One member of the freshaaen class of the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, a girl, bright, attractive, and a good student, was not present at the college commencement. In disgrace she was taken by her father to her home near Columbus, dismissed from the university after being convicted of theft from fellow-students. Physicians gave it as their opinion that the girt Is a kleptomaniac and -morally irresponsible. University authorities and civil officers took this charitable view of the case, and there will be no prosecution. In a trunk in the girl’s room were found a large number of missing articles of wearing apparel and books, which she admitted stealing. She has been a member of the university a year.
