the fault lay in the Boston publishing house. The

DEAR TRIBUNE: The outlook for the success Of
this enterprise grows more encouraging. For a
time some distru-t created in the minds of our
workers by an effort upon the part OF Miss l.. A..
MINIS to circulate the i'm preston that the college
had been removed from Oberlin to Ellsworth, and
that Oberlin not the regularly recognized aud
Endorsed college. The following decision of the
Department Council, GAR, Department of Kan
sas together with similar decision of the Depart
ment Commander Of last year. will set at rest any
question regarding the matter:
"Whereas IL has come to the knowledge OF the
Department Council that the Ellsworth comrades
do not encourage the efforts Of one Miss l. A.
Minis To change the location OF the National c. A. r.
Memorial College from ObeTlin to Ellsworth, be-
lievng that but one college can succeed we there
fore warn all persons against contributing money
To Miss l.. A. MINIS for any purpose In connection
with said college"
While friends have cordially contributed some
have withheld what had already been voted by
their organizations until this seeming difficulty
should be settled. 10 IL hoped that every indvid-
uR and Corps interested ia this educational monu-
ment for the free education, in collegiate course OF
the children the Union soldiers and sailors Of the
late of the rebellion, will forward their coniri
buttons soon possible. IL - the time of trial
and need with the enterprise, yet in us infancy.
and there are many throughout the Nation who
can eOntTibHts this grand work and not feel 10
aud though your circumstances are such that some
sacrifice be necessary, may we not hope that the
Christmas Offering from the loyal hearts of our
noble women will materially aid the grand work
of the college.

GEO. K FOUND.
Eight Days in the Bad Lands Without Either
Food or Drink.

Geo. jackson, the wooIgrower of Ubet.
who was recently lost in Lake basin, south
Of the Snowies, has been found. Mr.. Jack
son, accompanied by his wife and Mr..
Montgomery, came to town Saturday last
on business. returning Sunday. Saturday
evening a representative ofthe ARG US found
them and inquired into the particulars Of
his experience.
The facts were just as related last week
so far as was then known. Mr.. Jackson
was found on Friday. August IS. about
five miles from the ". T. cattle ranch below
Roundup, by a cowboy named Mat Driscoll
while hunting horses. He was riding along
a cut when suddenly his horse jumped.
throwing him OFF. Mr.. riscollinvestiga ted
the cause of his horses fright and found a
man lying down unable to raise but to his
elbow. MIR. Jackson's tongue and palate
we're SO badly swollen that he could not
speak a word, but succeeded in making the
cowboy understand that he had been lost
and was now nearly dead. Mr.. Driscoll
told him to remain quiet and gave him a
stick to hold with a beacon attached, by
which he might be found. Mr.. Driseoll then
went for a wagon and the unfortunate
man was taken to the N. T. ranch, where
he remained until Fred Warren heard OF it
and came to him on Saturday, the day
after he was found.
Mr.. Jackson was very much exhausted,
having gone without food or drink for
eight days, and it was some time before his
stoms CHI would retain any solid food. He
is now on a fair way to recovery. Mr..
Warren took him to his-home near Ubet
on Tuesday. Mr.. Jackson says that in
order to get water he had gone over a little
hill and after going up and down the stream
for some time to procure the best water
he forgot which hill he came over and
crossed the one on the opposite side OF the
strea sn, which took him farther away. He
then wandered in his efforts to get back,
but having no knowledge of the country,
finally gave up and waited for assistance,
which at last arrived. 1t is not thought he
could have possibly held ont twenty-four
hours longer.
