that is done, Scott can be paroled, spe-

in Richmond can be sent through under
flag Of truce. He does not like me,
and there is no love lost between us,
but he is brave man and he would not
lie, not even to get square with me for
the trick that led to his capture"

nor did dream that was shortly to
hear the infamous story from the lips
OF the man in question.
Every thing" said, depends ON
the outcome of General Boyle's efforts
with the President. II there is a re-

An Appeal For Aid.

TOLEDO, Iowa, Jan. 3.-To the Pub
lie: At 1 As on the morning of the Goth
ult. the main building of the Western
College was discovered to be ON fire. A
high wind was raging at the time, and
in spite of the united efforts of the fire
company and the citizens in two hours
time the whole noble edifice was in
ruins. This was one of the finest col
lege buildings in the west. The ThOmp-
son museum, the contents of the fine
art department, the commercial de-
partment, the two fine literary halls, the
recitation rooms and part of the library
all persisted in the fire. Loss, Sl25.OOO.
Western College was located at Tole-
do eight years ago. Since that time it
has had rapid growth, last year enroll
ing twenty professors and teachers and
4O2 students.
For the present the first story of the
Mary Beatty hall will be used for recita-
ton rooms, and the second story of the
city hall building will be occupied by
the the Commercial college, and the
parlors of the Beatty hall and the lee
ture room of the music conservatory
will provide homes for the literary SO
cieties. And thus the work of the col
lege will move right on.
The authorities of the college and the
citizens are making united effort to
raise 100000 to rebuild and re.equip
the college. OF this amount the citizens
have agreed to raise, in the town and
vicinity, the sum of $4,000. Agents
will visit other localities and solicit aid.
The rebuilding of this college should
enlist the cooperation of every one who
can lend helping hand.
The well known liberality of the
friends of higher education in aiding
other colleges in times of calamity war,
rants us in making this appeal for aid.
Will these friends send their gifts at
once to L. Ii. Bufkin, treasurer of
Western college, Toledo, 10.
