A STATEMENT OF The CHARais n THE FACTS
IN THE CASE,
| Special Telegram to The BRE.
AMEs, Iowa, July 31.-The senior aud
junior classes of the Iowa agricultural college
having withdrawn from that institution on
account of an unjust decision, as they be-
lieve, toward two members of the senior
class, and finding that the matter is not only
| not fully understood, but also misrepresented
to the citizens of the state, beg leave to state
the matter to the public through the medium
of your paper. The gentlemen were expelled
on the following charges:
First Breaking into q lsdy's room at the
college during vacation, she being absent from
the college,.
second-Wearing the above lady's clothing
and undertaking.
Third Promeu aiding the halls aud grounds
In the same.
Fourth-An intended insult to the faculty
in doing this, she being an instructress.
F~iith-leaving the room is q state of gem
eral disorder.
In answer to these charges we submit the
followirg statements to which the gentlemen
concerned are ready to make affidavit and
which are supported by other proof at cur
command:
First-The door of the room WAS found sjar
by these gentlemen.
Second-No underclothipg was worn by
them.
Third-They walked through the boys
hall and to the new cottage (about twenty
rods distant) and returned.
Fourth-Thls was done only In n spirit OF
fun and no insult was intended, as the lady
has declared to be her opinion.
Fifth-The room was left in as good condi-
ton as when found by the two parties.
But one lady was in the room at the time.
The senior class, in consequence ofthe fact that
and that the offense was committed during
one, and in q gentlemanly MANNER, by com
mittee and in a body, requested that any pun
ishment whatever be inflicted on
the two gentlemen but that of expulsion
They thought that the students should be- se-
verely punished, but asked that the severity
be slightly lessened. To this prayer the pres.
ident OF the institution turned a deaf ear and
refused to comply with the request, where
upon the senior class to the number of twenty,
and twenty-eight juniors withdl ew from the
institution.
the daily papers. have stated that the lady's
letters were read, her bureau drawers ran
sacked. and her bed sleptin by these students.
To this we answer, sit is not 80; no letters
were read, ho drawers were opened, and the
bed was not slept in"
The withdrawing students understand that
the matter is an important one, both to them
and to the institution, but withdrew simply
because they felt it to be an injustice.
With all respect to those concerned, we are,
yours truly, COMMITTEE IN CHARGE.

MEMORIAL SERVICES.
Meeting of n Vsrious Committees
Yesterday.

The various committees, having in charge
preparations for the memorial services over
Gen. Grants death on the day of his funeral.
held a meeting yesterday afternoon at the
Millard hotel, but none of them were ready to
make full reports. 1t seems that one has been
waiting too much on the other, and
for that reason they have all failed
to complete any of the work allotted them
to perform. Several of the members, and
sorne of the gentlemen, who were suggested
for speakers have been out of town.
1t was decided at the meeting, however,
that Mayor Boyd's tender of the opera house,
in which to hold The memorial services, would
be accepted also the glee clubs proffer of
their services. The Musical Union orchestra,
it is understood, viii also be engaged. The
exercises here will be held at the tame hour
that the funeral takes place in New York,

RU MBLINGS BY RAIL.
RumOrS Of a Movement on Foot by The
Union Pacific
waukee and Thus Get = Through
Line to Chicago,

In yesterdays dispatches from Chicago
to the EvEvINe BEE appeared one read.
Ing as follows: ga dispatch from Chicago
reports a rumor that negotiations are
quietly pending between the St. Paul
and Union Pacific for the sale of It's Chi
csgo and Omaha line, the object of the
Union Pacific being to secure a direc:
track to Chicago" With that much of a
pointer to work on a reporter for the
BEE set out to ascertain how much, if
any, true foundation there is In the
rumor, but his suoce,s was not
overwhelmingly great. Leading o%fficisla
of the Union Pacific profess to know
nothing what aver about such negotla-
tlons, IL there are any. Said one: Sup
pose the Union Pacific were trying to
buy the ST, Paul, Chicago q Omaha line,
to let 1t be publicly known would act
opposing Influences to work to prevent
It," 1t Is believed however that the
scheme is on foot and desperate effyrt,
will bs made to conSummate 1t. A
prominent railroad man when approached
on the subject put 1t this way: "AG
matters stand now the Union Pacific Is
virtually cut off in Its competition for
freights shipped from Chicago to Ne
brssks points without putting rates
80 low that the company
would loose money. With the Northern
Pacific on the north, extending ita
branches into the northern part of tho
state; with the G. B. & @. on the south,
covering all the southern country, and
tapping the U. p. at four different places,
they will sap the life out of that road
unless 1t can get a continuation of its
line into Chicago by buying the Chicago
& st. Paul road"
SOMETHING ENTIRELY NRW
When everything and everybody else
falls, the old Burlington route" is
conatantly coming to the
ROM with something new. Their
atest Is q very attractive, unique
and original advertising scheme. In
stead of the old fashioned prlnted-in-
colors "hyers" three sheet hangers, or
dodgers, which have become stale. an
a~bomination and an eye sore, very hand
some folding checker boards, gotten up
LII hp euulu styIe, ara pelpg teht out III
great numbers for free distribution.
Along with each board goes a nice set OF
checker chips, on one side of each the
likeness of q locomotive aud GA the other
side Burlington Route" In each square
on the board, aud they are red and
black alternately, 10 printed the name OF
some important point, resched by that
road. 1t is not only a beautiful adver.
tising card, but can be used by persons
who like to play the game of checkers.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 31.-Valentine VTag-
ner, of Morrow county, WAS executed at the
Ohio penitentiary this morning for the muir
der of his brother-in-law, Daniel Sheehan,
December 18th 1882. This was the first hang
ing at the penitentiary under the new law
which requires all executions in the state to
take place at the prison. This trouble be-
tween Wagner and Sheehan was of long
standing and of a family nature and on the
date named Wagner went to Sheehsn's house
and told him he had com to kill him. He
Immediately drew n revolver and shot him and
fred again when Sheehan tried to escape.
The trials were long and tedious, but the day
of execution was finally fixed for July 3lst.
The governor has been sought to interfere, on
all sorts of grounds, but he refused to do 30.
After making o complete study of the case he
telegraphed at IL o'clock last night that he
woald not interfure. Wagner leaves q father
and mother, each over eighty years of age.

final leave of him yesterday afternoon: and
the scene was most affecting. Short
ly after two o'cock the sheriff
party entered the reception room and waited
while ministers were with Wagner. When
the time came to march to the gallows
Wagner was entirely overcome and had almost
to be carried to the trap and when there tried
to lie down, begging all the time to be spared.
While the officers were adjusting the moose he
struggled like a maniac. The trap fell OF
2:15 and Wagner died Instantly. -Four min
utes later his body was cut down.

The Ignorance of Police Officers

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July Sl.-A man named
Jacob Erb suddenly died in a police court last
Monday from supposed effects of long con-
tinued intoxication. An inquest was held
to-day at which County Physician Bluthardt
Created a sensation by testifyipg that Erb
died of chronic inflammation of the brain, and
wss no drunkArd hut a roor sick man. He
said the great mistake was that the police did
not diagnose the mans case. He WAS carried
into a station in a semi Unconscious condition
aud booked for drunkenness, when really he
was only i'll. The physician thought this
showed the necessity. of having a medical
against dying of prisoners through ignorance
of officers.
