ATcE1soN, Kan, July 1.-The house
of Pleasant Little, on Doniphan Point,
went into the river with its contents.
The house was occupied by John Nc
Queen and his family. Little boarded
with them. They had vacated the
house few hours before it fell, taking
refuge in the main land. Little es-
capped with McQueen's family, but has
not been seen since, and it is feared that
he returned to the house and was lost
with it. Between Atchison and Rush

PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE.

The prospects for Black Hills Col
lcge are very bright and encouraging.
Labor has sure reward, and can we
contemplate disaster after such earnest,
Jealous and laborious work? Emphati-
cally, no! The foundations of this
college have been laid as on the rock.
and the earnest prayers of its friends
have been engrafted into this support
and it can not, will not waver nor fall.
If we look at the financial condition of
the college now, the prospect may not
look so bright, but the institution is
fast gaining friends and the $1,000
debt now overhanging 1T will soon be
wiped out and credit established with
an endowment of $4,000 or $50O,OOO.
One-fourth of the $4,000 endowment
is already promised, leaving only a
comparatively small sum to be raised
by September Is, 1891. The time is
not far distant when the college will be
recognized as an important factor in
the development of this community and
state. Its aims and needs will be sup
piled from time to time, and the true
and noble purpose for which it was
founded will be realized ere long. This
is our earnest desire and we only voice
the sentiment of others in this express
sion. The advantages of this institu-
tion are given to both.sexes, as it should
be. 1t is just as necessary that the one
be educated as the other. The degree
of education given in other schools may
differ, but here everyone has an equal
chance.
The fall term opens Sept. Sd, and a
large attendance is assured. The
trustees of the college are true, loyal
men, men of education and progression,
and with able counsellors like Bishop
John Vincent, Rev. Arthur Edwards
and Rev. Henry A. Buttz, the very
best steps will be taken for its interests.

useful life. Besides the regular course
Of study, lessons in music have been
given according to the advancement of
the pupil. The coming year, regular
course i'll music will, it Is proposed, be
instituted and The students will be
given complete course in this branch
of art. 1t is the purpose of the man
agement to put into the musical course
such an amount of French, German,
history and literature as shall be ncces-
sary in tile development of the study
and to build UP the department.
COURSE: OF STUDY.
The Classical, Scientific, Phi!osophi-
cal and Literary courses are presented
to the student from which to choose,
leading to the degree of Bachelor of
Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of
Philosophy and Bachelor Of Literature.
Each course requires four years of
hard study to complete them. An
English course is also offered to those
preparing for the academic course, one
year being given to complete it. The
purpose IN this arrangement of the
coures Of study, is to serve the highest
interest OF the student, and his or her
fitness in undertaking llfc's work de-
pends wholly on the practical applica-
ton that is given to the course pursued.
Every attention and advantage possible
will be given any student attending
this institution, to give the best educa-
ton and line of study desired. The
course of study for the ensuing year
will be practically the same as followed
last year, a few changes only being
necessary from time to time. 1t is net
the privilege of the student to select
elective studies as yet, the early organi-
zation not requiring it. But as the
college adds years to Its young life, this
will necessarily come about. These
practical courses of study, by the way,
are the work of our president and his
assistants and not the outcome of
the work of other colleges older than
ours.
AN UNsECTAE1AN SCHOOL.
The founders of this institution wish
it emphatically announced that, al
though the college is denominational
school, yet it is positively unsectarian,
1t opens its doors to all of whatever
denomination they be, and the princi-
pies Of christian truth, pure and sim.
pie, are recognized in way that will
not have a tendency to influence the
students to one denomination or an.
other.
Students were registered the past
year from New Jersey, Kansas, Nebras
ka, Delaware, Missouri, Iowa, Colo1a
do and Washington.

THE FACULTY.

We turn aside here to give a brief
biography Of the faculty Of the coming
year. President John w. Hancher
was born in Noble county, Ohio, in
1856. At the age Of fifteen he began
his career as teacher of a country
school. which he continued during
forty-eight months of the next eight
years in his native state. spending nine
terms as student in two of the Ohio
normal schools. In 1850, he entered
the South Kansas conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal church and served
actively in that church with the excep.
tion of about three years, owing

The results of the past collegiate
years work has been unquestionably
entirely satisfactory to the teachers
and the student body, for how could it
be otherwise when the combined efforts
of teacher and pupil were systematic
ally and arduously turned in the same
nent. The president and his corps of
able assistants may justly feel proud
that the work has progressed so ma
terially through their combined efforts.
The past year the following classes
were formed; Senior, Freshman, Jun
Tor Academic and Preparatory. The
first year the college had the honor of
graduating one of its brightest young
ladies from the literary course. The
work Of the year comprehended a
training in language. as the great in
strument and condition of all thought,

Hall Convention.

ST.. LOUIS, September 1.-The Anti Third
party and sub treasury national convention
of alliance men is in session.
The committee on resolutions made .
partial report. The report was read. Thia
is the same platform adopted by the For
Worth convention. with modification of t.
last resolution as follows.
Resolved, That We denounce c. w. Nc
Cune and his corrupt methods, together WITH
acts, his tools and henchmen, as being dis
grace to the order and a stencil in the nos
trils of all honest men, who know their cor
ruption and 1illainy.
This led TO heated debate. Delegate
Wade (Tcnnessee) Immediately moved that
this clause be struck out, and he went on tc
give reasons for his motion. He SAID the con-
vention had not been called upon to make
personal attacks upon any person or per-
sons. While he was personally confident, In
fact he knew that McCune was one of the
most corrupt men in the country, he was not
prepared to 60 on record in a convention,
which was called in the interests of harmony
to attack one of the leaders of the alliance.
1t was well known that the Ocala inyestiga-
ton adopted a report generating Mr.. Nc
Cune; that report was merely whitewash,
that McCune was guilty of the groseest irreg
ularities and was dishonest to the core, but
this is neither the time nor place to adopt
such Q resolution.

The investigation shows that of the money

Superintendent Porter said to the reporter
that it was fair to conclude that three
fourths of the money borrowed in Kansas
had been used in purchasing lands, making
Improvements and in business enterprises.
The remaining quarter was placed in the
column Of miscellany and could not be clas-

that 10 per cent and less is paid on IS per
