Normal, classical, law, musical, theolog-
zeal, business and art
In these colleges thirty professors and
instructors are daily engaged in teaching.
The revival of the sale of university lots

hopeful indications of the future.
The exterior of the main university
building is practically completed. Not
many days hence Will see the finishing
touches on the beautiful tower
The spring term opens April 8, at which
time it is expected that a considerable
number Of new students will matriculate.
All things considered, the prospects of
the University have never been brighter
than at the present time.
The Garfield is one of the solid institu
tiOns of Wichita. The city has much to
be proud of educationaliy. commercially,
morally, religiously, and socially.
A hundred or more factories and all the
material advantages to be found in first
class city of 10000 people, supplemented
by excellent public schools and half doz-
en- colleges and universities, make Wich-
tia desirable place to all those who are
seeking permanent homes.
"a long pull and a pull altogether" will
make Wichita an educational center as
we'll as a business cenler. A quarter of a
million dollars in single college building
is an index of the faith that we have in
the outcome of Wichita.
Visitors from the east have expressed
great surprise at seeing the buildings at
the Garfield" the college HILL" the
Paramount" and the Lewis Academy"

ATTEMPTED Suicide.

CHICAGO. Aug. 12.-Daniel Dolan, who
found himself unable to leave drink alone
and was fast going to destruction. decided
to end his wretchedness yesterday. He
walked into the North Side Water Works
at 2 o'clock yesterday morning, stepped
under the crank rod OF one OF the mighty
pumps and waited for it to come down end
crush him with It's ponderous weight.
There was no one to save Dolan from his
fate. His courage seemed to fail him at the
last moment and he made an effort to get
out OF the way of the descending rod. He
only partially succeeded, for The rod caught
him, crowded him down and crushed his
arm and left leg. The rod rose again. He
called for help, and the Waterman rushed
out, grasped Dolan by the shoulders and
dragged him out of his perilous position.
Doon will lose his arm and leg but will
probably recover.

to July /, 1871, as published in the Acts OF
Assembly 1S7l-72 was SAT 900 .S66, of which
sum one-third was cut off as Cue by West
Virginia. Sir Edward Thornton's offer,
however, was for priclpal of ST .692, S9l,
for the tax receivable bonds, which included
the overdue coupons funded with the new
principal. All the R!ddleberger and old
unfunded bonds funded into Riddleberger
bonds could not possibly bring the principal
to more than twenty FIVE million. But it Ia
feared that no such favorable terms az Sir
Edward Thornton's will ever be offered
again, for one of the bondholders, In letter
