Impressed With Newberry.

Mr.. Robert Weidensall, Of Omaha,
Neb., who recently visited Newberry,
writes TO the Lutheran Observer as fol-
lows:
"While in Columbia I learned that
Newberry College was but q few hours
distant, and I could not forego the
privilege of visiting it, and particularly
when I understood that my old friend,
Rev. Geo. w. Holland, Ph.D., D. D.,
was its president, and also another and
older friend, Rev. w. G. Schaetter was
the pastor Of the Lutheran church at
that place. I had a delightful visit,
and was royalty entertained the short
time was there. Newherry and New
berry College will henceforth occupy q
larger place in my mind and my heart
than ever before. The college has q
good reputation, and promises much
for the future. They have several fine
professors houses on the campus, and
are erecting another that will add very
much to the appearance OF the whole
propertv. They have plain but very
rood and serviceable college building,
VITA nlgn SUITES, lootny n't'AN,
venient class-rooms. fine society balls,
fair library room, and desirable doml-
tory rooms. IN all it s. q very credl:a1le
tirst-class college building. l am told
that this was the work of our veteran
Nebraska Lutheran preacher, Rev. H..
w. kuhns, D. D., who Is now IN
Omaha again. DR.. kuhns was very
l-;o5Iv ranemhere6 by rlalV persons
in and out of Newberry and we'll spoken
of bv them for what he had done. l
was glad to hear it myself from the
persons themselves and I now take
pleasure in telling it publicly to the
readers of the Observer, for in this SER
vice DR.. Kuhns had done good and
lasting service for the whole church,
which will continue to serve the church
long after he shall have been called
home from, his earthly laboEt"

A WHOLE STATE IN FLAMES.
Terrible Stories of the Destruction by Forest
Fires in Michigan.

DETROIT, MICH, May 1.-THE hoped
for security from the recent rain did
not materialize for the pauic-stricken
inhabitants of the burned district IN
this State.
Some idea of the vastness of the fire
district can be gained from the fact
that almost any of the counties now
filled with fire is as large as the whole
State of Rhode Island. The Toledo
and Northern Michigan Railroad has
been obliged to abandon all attempts
to run cars north Of the Glare County
line.
\ freight train and crew had a mar
row escape from cremation yesterday
Ties in many places were so badly
burned that the rails spread when the
train went over. When near Moore's
siding one Of the cars in the centre Of
the train was derailed, and the train
crew were obliged TO abandon the real
part of the train after working unit
the cars began to smoke. Before they
reached Farewell there was another de-
railment, and all but three Of the train
of eighteen cars were left to their fate
The wind shifted and drove the fire
to the southeast and into Newaygo
Mecosta and Aceaug counties. Cook;
Station and Barton, both in the line o.
the fire, have not been heard from anc
are supposed to be destroyed. Wes
Troy, few miles north Of Otia, ha:
been attacked by the fire since early
yesterday morning and is supposed Il
be in ashes.
Reports from Cadillac, Wexford
County, state that the inhabitants O
all the villages in the county have beer
out fighting fire for the past three day:
and many of the smaller places are
wiped off the face of the earth. Where
| Nivarna and Fremount, on the Film
and Marquette road, one stood there i:
nothing now but piles Of ashes.
The village Of Lake has not beer
heard from since its last appeal for help
The fire is sweeping through the wood
near Red Cloud, Nowyago County
While more than one hundred mile:
away across the State the little hamle
of Taft is in a gulf of flame. Monitor
in Wexford County, above Cadillac, /:
cut off from communication with th'
outside world.
The latest news from Traverse Cit.
is to the effect that the entire popula
ton is out fighting the fire. Millions
upon millions Of logs are burning al
over the centre Of the Safe.

TO THE LEGAL END.
The Coosaw Will Not Remove It's Plant
to Florida.
| Special to the Register. !

CHARLESTON, S. c., May S.-The
Coosaw case came up in court again to-
day. By agreement of council on both
sides it was decided to postpone the
hearing until the 18th, when it is hoped
that Chief Justice Fuller and Judge
Bond, together with Judge Sjmonton,
will be able to settle the matter. At
torney General Pope submitted mo-
ton for remand from the Federal to
the State Court. Several other mo-
tions on behalf of the State and Of the
Coosaw Company were also submitted.
The story of the removal of the Coosaw
plant to Florida, published recently in
the Jacksonville papers, does not seem
to be believed here. 1t is possible that
the Coosaw Company may send some
of its plant to Florida, but it is stated
on good authority that the octopus will
continue the fight to its legal end.

REAPPORTIONMENT.
How the Legislature Would be Affected

as the Basis of Representation.

TO the Editor of The News and Cou-
rier: Taking the figures published in
your paper of last Friday, we find the
whole population of the State to be J.
I59, ,961. If the legislature shall adopt
the United States census as correct
enumeration Of the population and
basis of apportionment Of members OF
the house Of representatives, the ratio
of representation would be one 70 every
0,2S2 inhabitants, approximately, Dl-
vide this number into the population OF
the several counties, and it would give
one hundred and six representatives
divided as follows: AbbeviIle 5, Aiken

The counties having fractions of over
