The damage done by flood in the south
Is most appalling. Sabine Pass, II Texan
town has been totally destroyed The
waters from the Gulf and lake invaded
the town at the same time and rose with
great rapidty. The citizens did not real
lie the damage until it was too late to cs
cape. As soon as the news of the disaster
reached the surrounding towns relief
parties were ut once sent out. The trains
could only get within twelve miles Of the
town. Only two houses are left standing
and over two hundred lives are reported
lost. The people left are in destitute
condition and many are seriously i'll from
fright and exposure. a town six miles
east of Sabine Pass has also been totally
swept away.

Trouble at Orono.

And NOW the students at the 0rono
College are foolish enough to take hand
in hazing and in taking stand against
lie authorities of the institution We had
hoped this sort Of business would be left
entirely to the dudes of other institutions
that are not established in the interest Of
agriculture, and the mechanic arts. The
students to such an Institution should be
above such proceedings
Ii seems that late at night five Sophie
mores visited the rooms of twenty-five or
more Freshmen and subjected them 10
various indgnities, such a. cold water
baths, oblging them to denounce their
own class in the strongest terms. etc. and
finally ended by making the entire Fresh
man class give silent drill in the upper
corridor of Brick Hall. News of the af-
fair reached the ears Of some Of the Pro.
fcssors the next day, anc the np>hot Of
the whole affair was that Faculty meet
ing was held and five Sophomores were
Indefinitely suspended. All but five Of
the remaining members Of the class, with
tic feeling which is foolishly termed
honor by college students, then decided
that the punishment did not fit the crime
and decided to "cut" all recitations until
their associates were returned To their
laces In this move they succeeded in
inducing all Of the Seniors and Juniors
nd more than half of the Freshmen who
had been so roughly treated to unite
ON Wednesday morning of last week,
the students assembled in the Chapel at
The call of the Faculty and one by one
were asked if they intended to remain
away from Rotations. The number
stated above replied that they did until
The suspended students were reinstated,
They were then all suspended and ordered
10 leave town. Only 10 remained at the
college.
1t may be that the matter has not been
properly represented, but If 1t IS there Is
no justification for these extraordinary
proceedings. 1t is more than probable
that the students are entirely to blame
There is no justification for continuing
this scnselesS custom of haZing, and ",
hope the friends of these students vii
not attempt to sustain them in it, /
our State College is to run on this falls
theory of honor among students, it ma,
rs well shut up shop.

One of our local drovers advocates tie
policy of shipping all animals designed
for the Massachusetts market in live
state, giving for he reasons, that Il man

better and more profitable market than n
commission merchant is apt to. If an an
ima is dressed before shipping ii is often
found necessary to force it upon the mar
ket whereas in a live state they can be
