land and IL. c. Hollingsworth. The
term will continue for three weeks,
during which time it is expected to
have a number of lectures. County

We are sorry to hear it but it seems
to be true, that the Morrissy reform
ers are divided among themselves.
They can't agree. One part of the
party say that the present organiza-
ton was organized wrong. The OFF,
GERS were elected first and the club
formed afterwards; now they pro-
pose to form club of their own and
elect their officers afterwards. They
are having some trouble over the af-
fair. and just how il will end, cannot
be told at present.
