from Stanford, where they had been at
tending the prohibition clan gathering
the wagon in which were seated Messrs.
J. II. Collier. A. II. Basin and Sergeant
VIM. Severance, broke down just after II
passed Rowland, precipitating the gen
tlemen TO the ground with more violence
than ease. A few bruises and some skin
lifting was all the damage the occupants
sustained, but the wagon was so badly
shattered that it Was left by the road
side. The friends of these good prohibi-
tionists claim that the breakdown was
caused by the whole party being tight, y

n, GOOD school houses, doing-away
with the old .fashioned. back breaking'
slab seats, the employing of live teach
ers and a general revolution in the sys-
tenn. Something like this should have
been inaugurated years ago, and we
hope under Prof McCiary's regime, who
even in the short time that he has been
in office. has demonstrated more than
any of his predecessors his peculiar hit
