DIR. Warden member of the Board
of Trustees of the Agricultural Col

extended stay at the college con-
nected with his duties. Tie Doctor
says 1t has been impossible to deter
mine with accuracy what was the
cause of the sudden and somewhat
general sickness among students some
time ago.
He further says that owing to the
grasshopper raid in the northwest
portion of the State last year where
most of the college lands are situated,
the income from rented lands has ma
terially lessened the income o fthe
college aud that this added to the alb
solute necessity of making repairs
upon the buildings will render it i'm
perative that large appropriation
to this Institution shall be made
at the next session of the Legislature.
The present Board Of Trustees COM
prises able and practical men, and we
have no doubt but that their carfully
considered estimates of the needs oil
the institution will be favorAbly met
and adopted.

Tho first of the two was arrested by

the other was taken in by Mr.. Van

son arrested was attempting to pass q
counterfeit $40 bill ON candy stand,
which fact placed him under strict
surveillance. He was followed into
the show, and when the performance
was about concluded the person was
taken into the dressing-room and
searched. On his person was found
one counterfeit $40 bill on the First
National Bank of Richmond, Indiana !:
three So bills Of the green-back per-
suasioD, besides several spurious SO CT.
pieces. The parties claim, we believe,
that they got the money In exchange
for horse, but are unable to tell to
whom they sold the animal, or in fact
anything about it. They are perfectly

little in regard to the matter, ono way
