The package of GRAPHIcs ad-
dressed to Gibbs, Mo, went
astray last week. The last trace
Of them was lost at Hurdland,
when the mail agent on the o. L.
line gave them to the Santa Fe,
This is the first time they have
been lost, but have more than
once been delayed III reaching
their destination. We have asked
for an investigation, which we
trust VIII put an end to the troub-
lie. GRAPHIJs should reach Gibbs
on the first mail train from the
east on Friday, and when they do
not, our subscribers at that Office
will understand that the mail
agent has made mistake, as they
never fail to leave this office on
time.
At the meeting of the Board of
Regents 1hurday of last week, all
the Normal teachers were re-elect-
ed to their old positions with the
exception of the principal OF the
model school. Considerable excite
ment pervaded the atmosphere
during the afternoon, as it was
understood that President Dob
son, while reporting very favor
ably on the work of Prof. Muir,
had made al effort to have him
removed. 1t became evident how
ever. that, if one had to go, both
would be thrown out, and the mat
ter became adjusted before the
Board went into executive session.
When the vote was taken both
were unanimously reelected for
another year and the salary of
Prof. Muir wss increased 500. A
number of other teachers also had
their salaries increased.
