Messrs. Kelly and Doran visited
Washington last week and while at the
Postof6ce department Kelly procured
a list of the vacant fourth-class Offices
in Minnesota This leads jealous
Democrat to remark that Kelly's inter-
est in fourth-class postohices grows out
of the fact that he intends to distribute
them among his best customers through
out the State. The question naturally
arises. ''Will Kelly throw in stock Of
groceries in the bargain?''

WE would like to ask few ques-
tions and leave the answers to in-
terested parties;
1t is against the laws Of the state of
Wisconsin to allow cows to run at
large. 1t is also in violation of an
ordinance of the city of Mineral
Point, and yet this city is but a great
pasture for cattle, horses, hogs and
sheep. Gates are opened and gard
ems entered and whatever shocking
cows can get their noses into is des-
troYed. There are cows in this city
that are an outrageous nuisance, es-
pecially at night.
Who runs this city, the mayor
and council, or the COWS?
How can people be good citizens
and openly and continually violate
state and city laws, when it suits
their convenience?

The Nfysterions Preller Case.

The Preller-Msxwell tragedy at the
Southern Hotel, St. Louis, is developing
some very mysterious features.
1t will be remembered that the body OF
a murdered man was found in room in
the Southern Hotel packed in a trunk
two months or more ago. The body was
recognized as that Of c. Arthur Preller.
1t was believed that the man had been
murdered for his money by DR.. Walter L.
II. Maxwell. The man Maxwell was
caught in New Zealand, and is now on his
way to st. Louis.
1t seems that Preller, before leaving
London, had insured his life in Cooks
Tourists Agency for $4,000. The rela-
tives of Preller have been making extra
ordinary eXertiOns to collect this insur-
ance. There is a suspicion, however,
that the body that was found in the trunk
was not that Of Preller. The agent OF
Cooks Agency at st. Louis has been in
structed to spare no expense to discover
whether the body found in the trunk was
that Of Preller or not.
Several things excite the suspicion OF
Cooks Agency that there is something
wrong. One is that Preller's relatives
manifested very little interest in the MUIR
der, and did not seem at all anxious TO
hunt down the murderer. Another thing
is that Maxwell, when arrested, said, with
a smile, that everything would be ex-
planned satisfactorily. 1t is also reported
that shortly before the st. Louis tragedy
Maxwell made an effort to purchase a
body in Boston.
Itwould be very remarkable If it should
finally appear that the trunk tragedy was
a plan to secure the $4,000 insurance
money. AS strange things as that, how.
ever, have happened.

The University of Georgia.


The board of visitors appointed to at
tend the examination of the senior class
of the University Of Georgia at Athens
have made their report.
We have no doubt that the university
is model institution, and that it is con-
Quoted in a manner that entities it to the
rather lavish praise that the board be-
stow on it.
The senior class, it seems, passed an
examination that shows that its members
have made excellent use of their time.
/ The examination papers were so satisfac-
/ tory as to call out expressions of praise
from the board, and of the papers in the
department Of physics and astronomy the
board said that lit was a real luxury to
read them"
The members of the senior class of
the University of Georgia must have
done very much better work than is done
by senior classes OF many other colleges
of the country. 1t is rather unusual to
meet with examination papers to read
whiehis ''real luxury" To read such pa
pers Ia generally an unpleasant task.
That the examination papers Of the Sc
niors at the University of Georgia were
so satisfactory is due, doubtless, TO the
very great care exercised by the Profess
sors IN each department Of study.
The board say that in "a few instances
there were defects in syntax and orthOg
raphy or punctuation" but these defects,
it seems, "were obviously the result of in
advertence or hurried preparation" and
ought not, therefore, to count against the
seniors.
Either the board Of visitors were very
kindly disposed towards the seniors or
the scholarship of the seniors is remark
ably good. Out Of a class of 81, 10
more than half-were graded far above an
average; eight were graded as of aver
age excellence, and only three were rated
below an average. In colleges generally
it is seldom that any one not in the first
third the class has a grade in scholar
ship above the average.
We prefer to think, however, for the
honor Of our Georgia institution, that the
scholarship of the seniors at Athens is ex-
ceptionally good rather than that the
board were more generous in reaching
their conclusions than they ought to have
been.
1t is gratifying to know that the Uni
versity is prospecting. 1t has done a great
deal to help to make Georgia a great
State, and Georgia ought to act literally
with it. The board say that an observa-
tory and a new telescope are badly
needed Why not provide them? They
would cost, it is estimated, $4,000. The
State can spare that sum certainly. There
is nothing which State provides for her
sons that is of more Importance than edu-
cation. Georgia cannot afford to fail
behind the other States in educational
matters.

From a Washington Letter.
The appointment of Pierce NJ. B. Young to
be Consul General at St. Petersburg reminds
me of story which illustrates the kindness
of heart and generosity Of feeling for which
old ''Thad" Stevens, Notwithstanding the
roughness Of his manner and abruptness of
his speech, was known. Mr.. Blaine and Mr..
Stevens were seated one day in the committee
room, of which the latter was Chairman
when the door opened and in walked young
man with what seemed to be a troop
of his friends at his heels. Stevens
man walked up to him. "What can
do for you?" he said. "There is a bill in
your committee in which am interested and
which wish you would report to the House"
answered the Young man" and my name is
about?" Stevens asks ''It's q bill to remove
my political disabilities" "Ahem ~ broke in

"Under Early?" eyes, SIR" 'Were YOU at

Then bringing the cane which he always car
RED down on the floor with a good deal of
force. he exclaimed: Gwen. sir; / admire

pause he said, laughlngly, "Pn report your
