EHE history of the firm of McCausland,

a half century ago. The business, Of
which the above firm is the outgrowth,
was established in 1910, by w. b. Waddell
and continued under that caption until
1912. The firm then became Waddell &
Russell and so continued till 1855, at that
time it changed to Waddell, Russell &
Majors who were large government con-
tractors and freighter's and many were
the trains of merchandise they sent across
the plains, back in the fifties
In 1858 Waddell, McCausland 4 Co.
succeeded to the business and conducted
it successfully up to the time of the late
civil war, when they were compelled to
suspend operations. After the war they
resumed business and So continued up tC
1872. at which time the firm changed tC
McCausland & Bedford. In 1878 Mr.. Nc.
Causland bought the interest of j.. w
Bedford and from that time until 1879 the

G. McCausland alone. February lst, 1889,

Elizabeth AnII Seminary.

TIME Elizabeth Aull Seminary is
another one of those grand IN
situations for which our city is
noted, Il valuable gift to young ladies
from the noble woman whose name it
bears, a place where the minds and
hearts of young ladies are trained for
practical spheres in life, q credit to the
Presbyterian church organization OF
the Lafayette Presbytery and Presby-
terrain church of Lexington, under
whose auspices and control it is.
This seminary was chartered March
y, 1859, and endowed with full COL
legiate powers by the Missouri legisla-
ture. 1t has just entered its thirty
second annual session. The nine
trustees who have the management are
gentlemen selected with special view
TO their substantial worth and their
recognition of the high order of man.
agement necessary for the proper and
successful conduct of such an institu-
tion. This board, and in fact the
whole presbytery and church, realize
the responsibility resting upon them,
and besides making ample provision
for the temporal comfort and happi-
ness of students, have selected a
faculty with care, and n view not only
ts their high attainmcnts in the depart
ments under their charge, but with
consideration tor their standing as
christian mex and women. This part
of the provision has been made a study,
and those in direct charge are found
eminently capable of filling the posi-
tons they occupy. The general
principles" of the seminary are tersely
expressed in the catalogue of 1S9O-91
as follows:
1--WE offer ourselves to the parents of
Sthc West to help them educate their
daughters. In our view this is the
knoblest work of man. The family, the
! pulpit, the school and the press are its
Z great ~co-laborers. To the parents,
primarily, this holy work is intrusted,
and the rest are to him but helpers.
Education is Il complex and delicate
work. 1t requires judgment, conse-
Grafton and faith. We try to use our
best abilities, with an humble, constant
reliance upon Divine help.
''Our system of education is dis
ti%nctiyely Christian. Believing that
mental without moral development is
not a blessing, and believing that
Christianity is divinely pure and per-
feet, we strive to make it the founda-
ton and ~pervasive element in every
department of the institution. We aim
TO make our girls educated, Christian
women"
The courses of study from ruda-
mentaryke he classics are all that can
be desiit4 sach a school, music and
the fine INC prominent places.

Damage by the Forest Fires Greater
Than at First Reported.
DETROIT, Mich, May l2.-Each report
from the region of the forest fires shows
that the damage, instead of being exag-
gerated, has been underestimate. Nor
ley, Mecosta county, telegraphs that
Altoona, small village ten miles from
there, is in ashes. Big Rapids, Mecosca
county, reports that fires are raging in
several places in the county. A report
from Bear Lake, small settlement in
the northern part of the county, states
that several houses were set on fire by
sparks blowing in from the forest, fully
half mile away, and the people were
driven into the lake for shelter. Harri-
son, the county seat of Glare county,
has had twenty-fou- hours of imminent
danger and summoned help from Clare
and other villages. Clinton, a small
station on the Toledo, Ann Arbor and
North Michigan road, has been wiped
out. Three million feet of logs were
also burned. Farwel was burned with
all the houses in the settlement.

here, has been interviewed. He in.
sisted that he had violated no law and
seems confident that he will be released.
He says the government should have
got after Hartly 81 Graham, of nion,
N. Y, manufacturing exporters of the
arms shipped on the schooner, and not
after him. Burt said that the arms had
been shipped by rail from the East, and
loaded on the vessel at Oakland Mole
in broad daylight. There had been
No Attempt at Concealment,
because there had been no necessity for
it. Burt refused to say where the
schooner had, discharged her cargo, but
did not deny that arms had been placed
on one of the small islands of the San
Clemente group He expressed himself
as confident that the Itata could not
possibly have been detained by the force
at the command of the United States
marshal, as her crew would most Ger.
tainly have resisted any attempt tc
board her. He also expressed surprise
that Marshal Card did not seize the
schooner when he went out to meet her

Pilot Dill, of San Diego, came up from

Card. Dill says he had no alternative
but to take the ltata to sea. He says
the captain put

volver to see that he did not run the
steamer aground. He says he saw fifty
to sixty armed men on BOARD and there
may have been more. Two cannon were
on the forward deck and he was told
that the were six more cannon and two
gatling guns on board. Dill says he is
confident that the vessel would have
resisted any attempt to detain her as a
matter of life or death. He says the
Itata was
veritabIe Man-of-war
when he took her out of the harbor. but
had the appearance of merchant yes
sci when he brought her in. Capt.
OFarrell of the schooner, refuses to
make any admissions. He says he did
not know he was violating any law, but
refuses to say what became of his cargo
beyond the fact that he has clear re-
ceipt for everything. The federal Off
cials are very reticent and decline to say
what orders, if any, have been received
from Washington.
