exercises because the same were con-
Quoted by Prof. Bristol. The refusal to
indorse the action of the trustees was
done by majority of the regents on the
ground that it would promote peace and
harmony i'm the institution. The

follows: Prof Savage, of New York,
history and political economy; Prof.
Lewis E. Akley, of Vermillion, physics
and chemistry; Prof. j. s. Frazee, OF
Lead City, mathematics and astronomy;

THE SOUTHERN SUMMARY.

TERRIFIC rains prevailed for two DAYS
about Austin, Tex, and the Colorado
river, within three hours, rose seventeen
feet. In mountain gorge the river
was twenty-five feet above high water
mark. A big excavation for the founda-
ton of dam being constructed across
the river was flooded and the Golfer dam
swept away. Many cotton fields were
submerged and the loss will be heavy.
SPECIALS from various points in west
ern Missouri report that cyclone did
much damage. In the vicinity of Carl
ton, Mo-, four houses were partially
wrecked and six barns entirely demol-
ished. Whole fields of wheat were laid
low and much damage was done to
orchards. At Macon, Mo-, wheat was
damaged to the extent of $4,000.
AT the annual meeting of the st. Louis,
Alton & Terre Haute railroad, at ST.
Louis, in his annual report President
and General Manager Parker refers to
the desire of the management of the
road to introduce the principle of profit
sharing in the financial policy of the
company.
AsMALL hurricane visited st. Louisa
The greatest damage was done on the
outskirts of the city and in East st.
Louis, where three dwelling houses, a
factory and number of sheds were
blown to splinters.
ROBERT SCHILLING, secretary Of the
new peoples party, has issued the call
for the committee of the party to be
held in st. Louis June 10 to arrange
plans for the coming campaign.

Floods I'm the Black Hills.

Serious floods are reported from the
Black Hills country in connection With
the recent general rains. Streams,
gullies and canons became mighty rivers
and the streets of several cities were
turned into raging torrents. Cellars
were filled and sidewalks and small
buildings carried away before the pow
erful waves like chaff in a whirlwind.
1t is impossible to estimate the amount
of damage, but it will reach into thou
sands of dollars. No loss of life Is re-
ported. Deadwood was heavy sufferer
and the track of the Deadwood Central
was badly washed out Much of the
line runs through long, deep, narrow
canon, and therefore is badly exposed to
high water.

The Government Report ON the Matter All
Over the Country.
THE weekly weather crop bulletin
says copious rains in the wheat regions
of the northwest have greatly benefited
the crops during the past week. Corn
is still quite backward in the Missouri
valley. Slight damage by hail is re-
ported in southern Wisconsin and
by the cutworms in Michigan.
In Indiana and Illinois the con-
dition is favorable for all
crops except oats in Indiana. In Mis-
souri, excessive rain has checked the
crop cultivation, but the general outlook
is favorable. In Kansas and Colorado
the condition is favorable, though sun
shine is needed in some localities. In
Oregon general showers have been very
beneficial and the wheat prospects are
especially favorable. In northern Cali
fornia the crops are good, but back
ward; in southern California fruits and
grain have excellent prospects, but are
somewhat injured by the cool rainy
weather,

torrent of Kisses from the stu

stream is on the rampage. At Gaines

formation comes from above there that
many people barely escaped with their
lives. All communication with the In

that the rivor is running wild in that
section and there is great destruction to
property and some lives were lost.

There was a fine exhibition of tho

match in valley around which the
mountains rose gradually. forming a
natural amphitheater, says recent
writer. Here large audience sat on
the rocks overlooking the space below.
The rival tribes were seated at each
end of the valley. while their chiefs
walked proudly up and down in front
of them. Then one of the chiefs would
call out champion and challenge a
rival. The two would throw off their
cloaks and rush ut each other, and
wrcstle until one would get his head
under the body of the other, and, with
great force, throw his adversary in the
air over his back. Sometimes after a
desperate struggle the chiefs would
have to separate them. they being
equal, neither one being able to throw
the other.-Boston Globe,

O~lne Of the Styles Worn ny the Faslaieoe
able Ladies' Of solomon's Time.
1t is an interesting fact and to great
extent true that the style of dress and
ornaments Of the ladies of the present
day is much the same rs in the time OF
Solomon With the many changes OF
centuries the graduation of cbignons
and crinolines, much of the simple grace
and easy symmetry, OF ancient Greece
has taken their place in the nineteenth
century.
Tho Scriptures narrate great many
things about tho style of dress worn in
! the time Of Solomon. In the law OF
Moses directions are given concerning
| the garments worn by the Israelites In
the Book of Judges the girls of that
period are described by Deborah as "a
prey of divers of needlework."
| Lemuel says: -"Their clothing Is OF
silk and purple"
| In the frequent intercourse between
the Jewish and other natives the ladies,
tired Of their primitive simplicity,
sought the fashions OF the clever Egypt
ians, the elegant Phenicians and the
LUXURIOUS Persians. Even the patient
Job became impa tient at SO much dress
ing and thought of the adornment OF
the person, and Isaiah denounces the
|
nothing but dress and Irritation. with
their great desire to ''see and be seen.
The tunic spoken OF in the time OF
King Solomon was very much like the
polonaise of the present time. The
bel is and fancy girdles and clasps and
buckles are the same thing as the
lea ther girdles aud silver buckles worn
in the Bible times. We also find re-
corded the fact that trains were worn
to dresses and that camels' hair shawls
were common among the ladies OF that
age. Embroidered mantles are also
men toned, and they were fastened
with gold pins The hair must have
been quite elaborately dressed to judge
from Bible descriptions, and many orna'
ments worn. It was oiled, dyed and put
in coils. Little curis wero allowed tc
hang loose over the forehead, and
strange as it sounds the young ladies OF
Solomon's time used paint to make
their checks red.
Walls were worn and the sandals vert
made of blue and violet colored Leather
with fancy lockets.
Solomon. it is related, said to th'
Shuiamite: "Hcw beautiful are thy
} | feet with shoes, o princes daughter!
Thin nets were worn and earring
| OF great value were commonly used
Bracelets were worn upon tho rlgh
