The republican Central Committee of

The republican Central Committee OF
this county are composed of seven
members, four of them are for Wilson
and three for Anderson. The Wilson
side of the house held an informalmeet-
ing last Saturday and the president, c.
J. McDivitt, with the other three Will
son men, decided to hold a late conven-
ton, about the 9th of October. This
is done, they, say in order to hold the
republican reins of the county in their
hands and completely shut out the
Anderson men from having anything
to do with the convention which shall
name the republican candidates for this
county. The Wilson men are doing
everything in theirpOwer to gain weight
and to set down on the Anderson faction,
but we predict that Anderson men will
have the scales so arranged that by
November I'd the Wilson men will not
be heavy enough to even balance the
scales. This is a sharp trick for
the Wilson gang but the republicans of
this county, two to one, will vote for
Anderson and as to the county ticket.
they propose to vote as they please, and
If it is necessary they can make a
mighty strong ticket of their own. The
majority of the committee may think it
all right to slap the three Anderson men
in the face, but the REFLECToR's word
for it, they will not have the filthy dirt
which the Wilson men are handling.

decision, Judge Berry says that where
all the property which debtor has OF
a kind which is exempted. with a
line it as to quality or amount. and not
withstanding a limit as to value, does not
exceed the quantity or amount which the
statute eXemptS, there is no occasion for the
debtor to choose or select the same as eX-
empt. In such case the statute operates to
choose for him, and when the officer as
sumes to levy an execution upon such prop
erty as the law chooses, the levy and sale
are per Sc. illegal, and the official is liable
to the debtor, as is also the execution cred
itor. Where levy is made on growing

may properly be shown and found as of
that date.

Col. Prescott Heard From.

To the Editor of the GLOBE:
Sir: Your issue of July contains the fol-
lowing paragraph:
A lengthy discussion was enjoyed by the
board of public works and City Attorney
Murray last night over the proposed widening
of Dakota avenue, from Channel to DeloS
streets, to a width of sixty-six feet, where it
runs around the bluff under the Prescott es-
tate, crossing Colorado street To do this it
is necessary to cut off a frontage strip of the
Harriet A. Prescott property. The court hav-
ing decided that the particular property be-
longed to Prescott and not to the city, the
board will proceed to condemn it after the
usual manner, allowing COL Prescott dam
ages. He asks to be allowed 81, SEQ for 1t,
and exemption from all assess ments. The
city favorably entertained his first PROPOSE
ton for 81, 900 damages. When Col. Prescott
learned this he decided to demand So, 800,
which the city attorney and the board con-
slider too much. A reassessment is about to
be made for the grading of this part of Da-
kOta avenue. ...
The statements contained in this paragraph
do me injustice. In February last offered
by way of compromise to accept for the prop
erty in question $500 with release Of all
assessments. on account of the opening,
widening and grading of the street. The
assessment then on foot against my wife's
property was about $4,000, and I then re-
ferred to that and any further assessment on
account of the land. This proposition was
not accepted; none other has ever been made.

A College Student Subjected to
Grossly InhuMan Treatment.

ALLIANCE, o., July "a case of haz-
ing, which for cruelty is unparalleled in the
history of colleges, has just come to light
here, F. NJ. Marshall of Stark county, Ohio,
being the victim. He is on the first term
in Mount Union college in this city and ex-
pressed desire to become member of one
OF the various secret societies formed by
the students. He was informed that upon
the payment of ST initiation fee he would
be taken into the Delta Gamma fraternity,
a secret organization. The night for the
initiation came. About 10 O'clock a sup
posed friend called for him and both started
for the hall. Arriving at an old abandoned
college building he paid his fee, was blind
folded and ushered into the presence of
from twenty to thirty students. Once in
side he was at the mercy of his captors, and
the treatment he received was cruel. Bound
had and foot he was rolled over a barrel.
Next his clothing was removed and he was
placed upon cake of ice for a considera-
BILE length OF time. He was then tossed in
blanket. His prosecutors then placed
him on his face and branded on his back
the fraternity emblem, after which he was
set free. The matter has been brought be-
fore the faculty and the students who in
dulged in the haZing will be expelled when
their identity is discovered. Civil actions
are also threatened.

West Side Union Talks Vigorously
of the Electric Light Company.
The attendance upon the meeting or the
West Side union, last evening, was not
very large. Mr.. Vanish reported that the
proposed sewerage would cost 500, 900,
and that 500, 900 of sewerage bonds would
be appropriated, leaving $40, 900 to be paid
by assessment. The report was accepted
Mr. Prescott reported that a committee
from the Daytons Bluff union would meet
a committee from the West Side union this
evening to confer in regard to the Ontario
plan of making assessments. Mr.. Pres
colt said the gas company acknowledged
that the new company was got out of the
way to prevent opposition to the
monopoly in the electric light
business, and Mr.. Lawton de-
clared there was no chance for honest men.
The gas company would not do anything
unless it could get big bonus, and that it
would not put up line anywhere unless
there was fat thing in it. He declared
that if the Sixth ward succeeded in getting
the electric light, it would have to submit
to great piece of rascality. Mr.. Prescott
declared he would go without the electric
light rather than submit to such dishonest
trentment. He said the company wanted
500 per cent. on poles and 200 per cent. on
lights more than the amount for which
others would furnish them. 1t was extor-
ton, he said. The committee on electric
lights was allowed further time. A COM
mittee, consisting of Messrs. Prescott
Campbell and Hide, was appointed to con-
fer in regard to parks. and another COM
mittee, consisting of Messrs. Vanish, Minea
and Bole, was appointed to confer with the
fire commissioners in regard to artesan

$3.50 to $14, which is from so cents to 81
| higher than last season. This is very high,

| when they have TO buy at these prices. AS

On account of the jam, they were put up to
the present figures, as there were no logs,
and mill owners were compelled to pay these

trade, many have been buying at the above
figures.

A very severe wind and rain storm Thurs

were somewhat demoralized, and the boys
were hustled out in unceremOnious haste,
was followed yesterday morning by a damp,
cloudy morning. A slight rain fell during

was all that could be desired. The camp

Mayor Rice and members of the city coun-
Gil of st. Paul, nerved the boys to do their
best, and as result the parade was unus-

executed without flaw. Many members
that had not before attended camp were
present and swelled the line far beyond its
length on previous evenings.
Col. Bend expressed himself as very well
pleased with the parade and, with the
single exception of failure to keep proper
distance between columns, perfectly salts

ment to perfection.
In spite of the wet night the surgeon
