THE BASILICAN COLLEGE.
An Important Meeting of the
Commercial Club
Last Night to Consider the Prop
OSitiOn of the BaSilican
Brothers.

The Commercial club met at their club
rooms last night to consider the latest
proposition of the Basilican Brothers to To-
cate college in this city. The rooms
were well filled and great interest mani
tested.
Mr.. Cyrus Newkirk gave a full
history of the former IS well as the
present proposition of that famous
Catholic brotherhood to locate and
maintain in this city college under the
direction of that order, briefly as follows:
When the old university failed the Bas-
lican Brothers sent an agent here propos-
ing that If the building and ground were
crd maintain a non sectarian college of
the highest class that would be credit 10
the state as well as to the city.
The Board of trade took hold of the
matter and their committee of which Mr..
Newkirk was chairman induced nearly all
of the stockholders TO transfer their stock
for that purpose. A subscription was rails
ed to purchase the remainder. But at this
juncture the NJ. K. d T., passed into the
hands of receivers and Sedalia found
that she must do something to secure the
headquarters and TO keep the hospital.
The Basilican Brothers, when the di-
leuma of the city was laid before them,
suggested that the university bnilding and
grounds be donated TO the railroad for hos
pital purposes, and in lieu thereof, they
would take q suitable tract of not less than
10 acres in some other part of the city.
They stated that the brotherhood, which
has its headquarters in France, has apprl-
priated enough money to build a hand
some three-story, pressed brick building,
S0x44 feet, with cut stone trimmings, and
that the old university building would be
of little value as they would tear it down
and build new edifice better adapted TO
their purposes.
The bard of trade made the transfer to
the railroad.
The Brothers have selected ten acres of
ground at the west end of the street rail-
way and ask the citizens TO donate il to
them in lieu of the old university so they
can at once begin the erection of the col
lege building. Their original plan has
not been changed and the building will be
a magnificent structure of the size and
quality first proposed. Half of the
track Is outside the city limits and is
owned by ]. Z. Barrett, which he pro-
poses to donate free of all cost. The remain
ing half belongs to j. G. Thompson
and John Montgomery. 1t is inside OF the
city limits, but they propose to sell it at
low figure. The club by resolution en-
dorsed the project and appointed
consisting OF James
G ass, j. r Barrett, and Judge u T.
Bailey, to confer with the owners of
the land and ascertain what il can be
purchased for and report to the club at an
adjourned meeting to be held next Tues |
day evening. The American headquarters |
Of the Basilican Brothers is in Toronto,
Canada.
On motion of Col. Bridges the chairman
IF the newspaper committee was directed |
% subscribe for the Kansas City Times for
he use of the club.
Adjourned until next Tuesday evening

Roads and Bridges.

The dramshop licenses which will be
issued by the county court this week, will
bring about $4,000 into the public treas.
ury. As this " oney is used exclusively
for roads and bridges, that class of work
will have a regular boom for the next
three months. There is but few jobs in
the hands of the road and bridge commits
sioners at present, but large number will
be filed as soon as court convenes. 1t will
require about $1,000 to repair the damage
done by the recent foods of fat Creek.
The question of building a stone walk
around the court house square and also
paving the streets adjoining will come up.
A number of tex payers claim that the
money paid by the dramshop keepers of
the city should be used for that purpose
and not diverted to other sections of the
county as has been done In the past.

HOW IT TURNED OUT.
BY ]. W. rsoN.

"Yes, gents, Jim Skeggs is broken man, l tell you. He's had misfortin enough to break down any man. Why, gents, I knew Jim when there warn't a prouder man in all Tennessee than that same Jim. But look at him now. He don't abserlutely refuse his liquor, but he don't take it with the vim he used ter.7
 "What's happened to him2" said we, the said we being New York drum mer, in the soap line, working up western Tennessee, and the especial locality being the leading "hotel" of Snickersville, Q town, like all western ones, "risin'," and abound to be the leadin' city of the west"
 The gentleman, Jim Skeggs, who was the subject of discussion, was tall, raw-boned sample of humanity, in a cheap suit of store clothes, 6 great deal too small for him, and 6 stovepipe hat that had all the appearance of being sat on every moment that 1t was of the wearer's head.
 His hair, which was ample, was un- combed, and his beard untrimmed, and in fact his whole appearance be- tokened recklessness of personal looks that spoke either of crossed love or family trouble.
 "It's fammerly trouble, stranger" was the reply to my question. "Jim's met with a great cross in the last year, am it's had its effect. He's lost his da'ter."
 "Ahp I responded-"deadl"
 @No, not zackly dead, but jist as bad. Loped-run away" It did not take much urging to get my new made friend to tell his story, or rather the story of Jim Skeggs.
 "You sec, stranger, bout 6 year ago Jim was a-hvin bout where he Is now-down to Squatts Hollow-but he had daughter, an' prettier piece of nat'ral flesh am blood never was seed than that same Debby Skeggs.
 "She was just pure pink am white, an smart too, for she'd been cddicated up to Memphis, at the expense of the state, an the consequence was that when she come back ter Snicksrsville she jist turned up her handsome nose ct all the fellers hereabouts, an wouldn't look at none of 'em.

 "And here Jim's been ever since, said my story teller, mournfully. "He'll never be the same man again, for that's year ago, an he hain't got over 1t yet. Gray give Jim thousand dollars fore he left New York, an gives him e thousand dollars year. He kin afford 1t; he's rich; an Jim says, an 90 does her letters, that they love each other to all consumin'."
 "Well, what the deuce are you talk ing about, then7 Whats the matter with Skeggs, anyhow7"
 "Wal, stranger, you can't blame Jim for bein' cast down. In the first place, he was badly fooled, am is kinder 'shamed to meet folks; an the second, Debby married an artist, an New York man, with more money than Jim an in the third place, his missus makes him wear store clothes, as she says, to keep up the dignity of gen. tleman with a certain income, an 1t sort O wears on Jim's constitution ."- Philadelphia Saturday Night.
