Resolutions of Respect.

Death is universal in its reign.
Everyone, at some period, must
yield to this power, that the body
may mingle itself with the earth
from which it came, and the spirit
depart into that country which to
us is unknown.
1t is with grieved and heavy
hearts that we have to record the
death ofour dearly loved friend and
former teacher, Prof. A. W. Terrill,
which is now an example of deaths
certain work, and a sad reminder
to US of our Heavenly Fathers de-
cree that "All men must die"
Prof. Terrill was the first Presi-
dent of Hardin College. He was
an unassuming man of unusual in
telligence, a kind and faithful
teacher and friend; and we, who
were his pupils, shall always love
and revere his memory.
While humbly bowling to the will
of God who thought best to remove
him in the meridian of life, we can
now, as is fit and proper, only ex-
press III affection and respect for
him, u sorrow on account of our
loss, and coincidence to those who
miss him most.
Especially 10 we hereby express
our deep and sincere sympathy 70,
his beloved and bereaved wife.
whom we hold in affectionate es.
TEEN and remembrance.
ResoIved, that these expressions
of sympathy be recorded in the
minutes Of our Alumnae Society
and a copy Of them be sent to the
stricken wife.

to sell a horse to Ben Bradley at

worth 500, while the man oney
asked $50. Suspecting something
crooked, Bradley did not care to
close the sale until he made an in
vestigation. He found that the
horse had been stolen from a
farmer named Stoddard, at Pleasant
Green Church, near Paris. Hawkins
did not return, having in the mean
time traded the horse to G. W.
Galloway for pony, which he sold.
The horse thief skipped, but Mr..

RUSH HILL, Mo-, June 3.-All
the exercises of Clark's Seminary
were a decided success. Our peo-
pie are proud Of this school.
The examination developed the
fact that the pupils have been
thoroughly trained to think for
themselves. The closing exercises
Thursday night attracted the
largest crowd that was ever seen
in Rush Hill. An hour before the
time the exercises to commence
the house packed full and when the
students arrived at the church it
was with great difficulty the aisle
could be sufficiently cleared to adj
NIT them. The pupils acquitted
themselves with honor to them
selves and credit to their teachers.

TWELVE DEAD.
The Johnstown Horror More APP
palllng WitE Every Account
The --latest.

JoHNsTowN, June 3.-The first
reports of the Johnstown disaster
were too low. 1t is now thought
that between 10000 and 1900
people lost their lives in the fright
full flood on Friday night.
Johnstown is completely devas-
tated. Whole sections of the city
are swept clean of buildings. Nam
streets is cheked full ef the debris
of buildings. Those houses that
stand tremble ON their foundations.
At least 1900 houses were entirely
demolished.
The wreckage againstthe viaduct,
IN which hundreds and perhaps
thousands of people lost their lives,
is still burning.
Conemaugh, Weodvale, Kern
vile, Cambria City and other sur
rounding towns in the flooded dis
trict are as badly off as Johnstown.
At Conemaugh the inhabitants of
the lower portion Of the town have
been literally wiped out of exist
ence. At Woodvale the percentage
of death is even greater than that
at Johnstown. Kernyi!le has
only a house or two as a monument
to its former respectable proper
ions. Cambria City is not even a
ghost of itself, while all along the
line OF the torrent the isolated
houses of hundreds are without oc-
cupants.
The reports from Johnstown do
not show that the extent of Fridays
catastrophe have been exaggerated.
The pen is powerless to fittingly
describe the utter rum which in a
moment made a desert waste of that
pepulous and highly prosperous
section. The losses reach high in.
to the millions. AS to the loss Of
human life, amost conservative es,
innate puts the figure at 5000. Il
may go higher. twill be days be
fore approximate figures can be OBJ,
tanned. The scenes in and about
Johnstown Just now.are inexpress'
IDLY horrible. Added to that of the
catastrophe is the work of ghouls
preying upon the bodies of the vic
TINS and despoiling them Of what
ever valuables still cling to the in
animate clay. The punishment
swift and utter, that overlook then
was a fitting finale to the awful.
story.
