that he now regards the prospects foE

committee was somewhat discouraged
during the early part OF last week, but
matters took turn on Saturday that
justify the hope that the conditions nee
essary for securing an institution which
promises TO prove of such. meal
culable advantage TO the town
will be complied with. There is yet
much work TO be done before
the college can be regarded as fore
gone conclusion. but if our citizens in
the town and country will aid this un-
dertaking to the measure of their ablli-
ty. there can be no doubt of the result.
The prominent capitalists Of the town
are coming up nobly to the help OF the
committee and all that is needed now is
for every friend of the enterprise 10 unite
in an earnest and hearty effort to make

upon the dumb beasts which are to be
used a food were known, public senti-
ment would suppress the whole business
in short or,ier. The writer recently saw
a live stock train On one of the trunk
lines which made him heart
sick. The cattle were crowded
into a car as closely together
as they could stand; it was hot day !;
ali the animals were dripping with
sweat, aud their tongues out, gasPing
for breath, some exhausted had fallen
and were lying on the filthy lJor under
their fellows. Whenever the train
started it jerked them back,

when they arrived, bruised, sick aud fe-
vered at their journeys end. the surviv
ors were to be butchered 10 furnish meat

Humanity rcvolts at such baTbarism.
The method of transporting dressed beef
in refrigerator cars furnishes remedy for
this CRYING evil. The old custom must
be abrogatcd, and. though the live stock
men for time can postpone the change,
they cannot prev, IL its untimely being

A complaint was flied In the court of
Justice Fletcher Monday evening by w.
T. Soden against Dr. Harry Rivers, the
vender of the King of Pain remedy,
who has been dispensing his panacea
from a wagon Ia the afilis ted populace
for the past week, charging him with
assault and battery, committed near the

plead guilty to the charge and paid a
fine ot So and the costs of prosecution,
aggregating $1,000.
The facts as we have been able 10
ascertain them are about as follows: 1t
seems that Rivers, accompanied by the
man who plays the organ and does the
singing for him, and several members of
Barlow s. Wilson's mInstrcls, had gone
down 10 the Cottonwood to bathe and
had driven into Mr. Soden's grove and
tied the team to one of the trees When
they got ready TO go home, Rivers found
the strap with which he had tied his
horses had been cut and the team was
wandering around in the timber He
also missed his coat which he had left
in the wagon, and he proceeded
to Soden's house, apparently sus
pecting that he had something to dc
with the matter. He did not find him
at home, but overlook him short dis
lance from the house, Mr.. Soden and hi
son Justine having started to walk t.

Soden of cutting the strap and taking
his coat. SOden gave him the lie and
