N the motifs Dorsey Case.
The city court was engaged yesterday in
the trial Of the Morris Dorsey Islander suit,
and at $50 O'Clock last night the jury re-
turned verdict of one cent damages in
favor of the plaintiff, Reuben Morris.
Morris sued James Dorsey for $500 dam
ages for language to the effect that the
Knights of Archery would have been IN a
more prosperous condition had it not been
robbed by Reuben Morris and W. T. Davis.
The verdict for one cent damages carries
with it the costs of the suit, which the de-
PENDANT will BEAR and while the amount is
small it is claimed as none the less victory
for the plaintiff. The other suit Of Davis
against Dorsey remains to be tried. w. w.

week. 1t is neat and tastful both in
printing and matter, and We believe is
meeting with success. The editorial
staff deserves much credit, and should
receive the support of the school.
Examinations this week, and every
one more than busy.
A number of the Normal boys expect
to join the Republican procession Fri
day evening. That's right, show your
true colors, and help have a good time.
A number of new students have en-
tered this week.
Mr.. Morris Dean is one of the many
new students of this week.
The Normal literary last Friday even
was not as excellent as usual. The pro-
gram was rather poor, but it was on ac-
count of being so near examination, and
the students could not spare time to
prepare pieces. The critics report was
good, and should be remembered by
those sitting in the back part of the
room. We have been promised much
better program next Friday.
Mr.. Frank Dean was slightly under
the weather the first OF the week, but
we are glad to see HIM again at bis
studies.

IMPROVEMENTS lat THE LIN
SEED OIL WORKS.

The new elevator of the inseed oil
mill Is very nearly completed. 1t is one
of the strongest structures of the kind to
be found anywhere. This is made abso-
lutely necessary from the fact that lin
seed is as hard to hold as quicksand,
The walls of the old warehouse burst out
a few years ago and spread the linseed
around promiscuouslv. This new ware
house is expected to hold 10000 BUSH
els of seed. Such building has long
been wanted, on account OF the lncreas-
ing business of the mill.
Besides the new $1,000 elevator, the
linseed oil company is enclosing its large
tanks in brick building. Each of the
old tanks holds 900 barrels of oil, and
new tank holding 800 barrels has been
constructed this summer. New ma.
chinery has been put In, making the to.
tai expenses of the year on buildings
not less than $l2, 900 to $l5, 600. No one
can gain any idea of the size of the plant
unless he makes visit to the mill, when
he will be surprised at the amount o.
improvements made this year. The mill
is being worked TO its full capacity, and
there is large demand for its product
