The College improvements.

To The Standard
The work of charging and improv-
ing the G. F. College buildings has
been inaugurated by order of the Board
of Trustees.
The plan adopted, when fully execut-
ed, will give us one of the most com.
modious buildings for the purpose to
be found anywhere. The improvements
Immediately needed are a new chapel,
music rooms, and some additional
rooms for boarders. 1t is estimated
that the amount of three thousand dol.
lars will be needed for this purpose. 1t
is hoped that this sum can be raised at
once in McMinnville, so that the work
can begin Immediately. 9
The necessity for these improvements
is clearly seen and recognized by all
who are familiar with the present COM
dition of things. An important crisis
has been reached in the history of this
institution. It Is now in most favor.

that the school has now been made al

To the Standard:
1t is thought that the rainfall of last
Tuesday night was the greatest we have
had for several years. Although we
had no accurate means of measure
ment it is thought that it was between
three and four inches, certainly not
under three, in about eight hours.

ally trickle along their meandering beds

vile in one year, at the lowest figures,
not less than $4,000, nearly every
dollar of which would be expended
right here in our midst, for general
supplies, for clothing, for books, and
for everything else needed by the in
mates of such an institution. Will the
investment pay? Ask Winchester or
Lebanon, or any other town that has a
fiourishing boarding school. Almost
every individual in McMinnville would
realize greater or less share of the
benefits of such an enterprise. AS to
the great moral and intellectual bene.
fits accruing to our town and commu-
nifty from such an enterprise, no one
would undertake to estimate these by
figures or business computations.
We have refrained hitherto from
asking such extended aid from the citi-
zens of McMinnvills, as we desired to
demonstrate beforehand the possibility
of complete success. The patronage
from abroad this year, from first to last,
is about fifty pupils. If this much
can be accomplished under the circum-
stances as they have been, what may
we not expect when all hands take
hold with vigor, confluence and enthu.
siasm? Who will help? or rather who
will not help? May We not expect that
every one will do what he can, and
that the whole amount necessary Will
be subscribed at once? We believe it
will be done. McMinnville has done
much greater things in the past, and
she will not fail now. The benefits of
this school accrue to all alike, regardless
Of political or UNCONVENTIONAL distinc-
tons. This will be confirmed by every
patron of the school, of whatever name
or order. We therefore appeal with
confidence to all classes Of our people
for whatever aid they may be willing
. to render cheerfully to this cause. Liber-
} al subscriptions have already been
made, and an opportunity to contribute
l will be given to everybody at an early
t day. Will you help?

EMmErsBURG. Iowa, Aug. 9s.-The prospects
for Democratic victory in Iowa grows brighter
every day, and he is bold prophet who predicts
anything else. Our Republican neighbors who
used to be constantly loaded with cheek and dash
and impudence, are not half so nippant as for
merly. They seem to have shared the fate Of
their magnetic leader, and are down with the hy
pochondria. After the nominations, the Demo-
Gratis all over the state had flag raisngs and rat-
fcaton meetings and organizing into campaign
clubs, and as Democratic enthusiasm increased,
Republican audacity oozed out, until they seem
to have settled down to inevitable defeat After
the Democrats of our town had raised our beau
tiful campaign flag, the Republicans made fee
BILE attempt at a rally, one of their society dudes
spent two days in raising funds for flag, then
passed the list TO another brother in the G. o. p,
who after one day spent in fruitless efforts gave
ii up as an inglorious failure. The only emblem
to be seen of their tattaoed leader is a ten cent
flag waving over the postoflice, labeled ''Me aud
Jack" Men hate to throw away hard earned
dollars in lost cause, and of such is the Repub-
hcan Prohibition racket in Iowa this fall.
The northern tier OF counties in state is
settled largely by Scandinavians, and while they
indulge in the mild beverage, beer they are almost
in every respect sterling citizens, hon
est and frugal. These people have almost to a
man voted the Republican ticket straight ever
since they became naturalzed, but Prohibition
does not digest well in the crop of Norwegians,
and fully two-thirds of their number swear they
will no longer submit to the dictation of the
cranks in their party. In consequence OF this
bolt Democracy will gain at least 200 votes in the
counties OF Palo Alto, Emmett and Dickinson at
the coming election.
Last night our court house was crowded to
overflow TO listen to a speech from that rising

TELEGRAPH ATTACHMENT.
The Bankers & Merchants Telegraph
Probably InsOlvent.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.


CHICAGO Aug 31.-An attachment was yes
terday levied upon the property Of the Bankers
& Merchants Telegraph company to satisfy
claim of William Lumley for work and materials
furnished the company, amounting to S47926
The levy for such a small amount occasioned
some surprise at first but when none OF the
officers Of the company could be found to give
an explanation OF the matter, parties became
suspicious and were not slow to make remarks
to the effect that the company could not pay any
body. The attachment was levied upon the
desks and fixtures in the main office, No. 144
Madison street and upon the furniture and fix
lures in rooms 22 and 2i, No. 154 Madison
street, these representing all Of the tangible
property Of the company which could be found
in the city, excepting in poles and wires.
An effort was made to find Mr.. r. Stewart,
general superintendent of the western division,
and X. E. Petit, manager of the Chicago Office,
but neither could be found. Dir. ]. E. Zublin,
general superintendent of the Baltimore & Ohio
Telegraph company, was seen; and, in response
TO an inquiry as TO the cause and extent OF the
financial trouble OF the Bankers & Merchants,
said that the failure OF A. +. Dimock, pre- sident
of the company, two months since, had caused
heavy drop in the bonds OF the company,
uphill work to get matters in good shape. In
New York few days ago Mr.. Roebling, who fur
nished the company with its wire, had the com
pany sued for $4,000, and this had created
another temporary embarrassment, but he be-
lieved it had been amicably adjusted in some
way. The company that had built much Of the
line was a construction company which had gone
into the hands of a receiver, and he had taken
nominal possession Of parts of the line. a con-
solidation had been effected August 1 OF the
Postal, Bankers & Merchants, and the Baltimore
& Ohio telegraph companies, but in the arrange
ment these lines had nothing to do with the debts
of the Bankers 81 Merchants lie knew nothing
of the liabilities of the latter, but thought they
would be able to adjust their troubles and pro-
ceed with business.
From some Of the employees of the company
1t was learned that there was owing TO employees
in and about Chicago probably S25, 600, the pay
of money TO them being fully three months in
arrears. As a number OF them were threatening
to bring suit against the company, and regretted
that they had not done so before an attachment
was levied on the property. The office OF the
company was not closed, but was left in charge
Of a custodian of the sheriff office, in order to
not interrupt business until it could be ascer-
tanned il an adjustment could be had OF the claim
OF Mr. Lumley
