this end the Society for Propagating the

even went so far as to found an Indian
college at Harvard 200 years ago. This was
to seize on young Indian converts before they
had time to relapse, educate them in the
strict doctrines of theology, and then send
them abroad as missionary preachers among
their own race. Alas for misdirected en-

doors of the school, Rev. Caleb Cheeshah-

proved so disastrous to his system that he
died a year before graduating. The Indian
college is what a writer calls a ~"shadowy

Douglas asked him TO get in and e with him
TO arrest a man who was beating his own
daughter This CLARK did ana after being
joined by officer Jennings. the three went to
the house OK John Cotrell. North Moseley
avenue. Here they found Cotrell sitting by
toe bedside Of his sick wife and with an
angelic look upon his face was tanning her.
There were several women in the room cry
Ing and in one cornsr lay the thirteen year
inhuman whipping which be had just in
flicted upon her Her neck was black and
blue, on her back were marks of severe
chastiSeInent and over each shoulder were
large wells Just inflicted A neighbor said
he had commenced whipping with sun
flower stock, and followed it BY large plume

He explained his conduct by saying that
the girl had struck her mother and he was
Furnishing her for H.
A large crowd was beginning 20 collect about

girl: 50 the officer hurried Cotrell of 10 the

MAN INJURED.

Quite an exciting runaway occurred at the
Riverside park Monday morning Mr. Bel
cher of the firm of Godfrey & Belcher, was
driving his speeder in road cart when the
horse became frightened and took around
tho track on fullfledged run Mr. Davis
was some distance ahead driving kitty,
Tim Lanes fine flyer, and seeing a run
away on hand turned out at the west
gate expecting the running animal to keep
the track. He did not do that however, but
followed through the gate close behind In
passing through the gate one wheel of the
cart struck the north post throwing Mr..
Belcher some distance and hurting him CON
siderably. He for time was rendered I'M
conscious, but his injury did not prove Sc
rious. After he was thrown out the horse
ran against the carriage Of Mr.. Davis max
ing a complete wreck OF it, The horse was
thrown from his feet and was so entangled
in affairs generally that ne was not able to
get up Immediately and continue his jour
ney. He was rescued before being able to
start second time

DAYS NUMBERED.

Mr.. C. Wood Davis arrived in the city
from the east Sunday. His appearance in
connection with the fact that there yet re
mains only one week in which he is given
time to choose his route into the city is the
sign for starting up the railroad parlance
more industriously. Talk is heard about the
possibility of the road coming along any one
of the routes from which the company is
allowed to choose The opinion is gaining
ground that some new developments in rail
road circles have made it probable that his
road will not enter the city on the East Side.
An effort is being made for two companies to
use the same track and these two roads to
join with a third and put up a depot together.
This scheme is not exactly young one as it
has been known to a reporter some time and
some additional facts III regard to the loca-
ton of the proposed depot and what reads
are connected in the matter are allowed to
remain sub rosa for the present as the parties
connected are DESTROYS it should be so.

THE COUNTRY.

Farmer Doolittle returned yesterday from
the country. He wants it distinctly under
stood he did not go il the interest Of his polit-
zeal friends but to look at the crops He
says the sections which he visited is in good
condition and that there is fine prospects for
a large yield of corn. There is an increased
average planted; larger than is reported to
the assessor. He thinks that this kind of
trick the farmers have, of reporting smaller
acreage than they actually plan too, thinking
in that way to keep up the prices. The far
mer cited an example OF one man who had
100 acres in corn yet reported but forty.
White corn be said is being grown very
much now. The purchasing of this was part
of his mission as buyer Tor the Hydraulic
mills which soon expect 10 grind eight or ten
thousand bushels OF this grain a day
