! The fall term of Highland Park Nor
NAL College opened last Tuesday, Aug.
30. The attendance was remarkably
large and the school is In every way
! the nest prosperous it has ever been.
| Along early in the summer there was a
rumor that the financial condition of
| the college was not the best but these
matters have all been arranged and we
are assured from most reliable sources
that the financial condition of High
land Park College is entirely satisfac-
| tory and that the school is the solldest
financially that it has ever been. This,
together with the very large attend
ance at the opening of the school this
year and the many improvements and
additions that have Deen made to the
school during the past year and past
| summer, will certainly commend this
great institution most favora bly, to the
! public, The enrolment last year was
!, 3l4 and it is confidently believed there
will be !, 800 students during the COM
ing year. We can most heartily en-
dorse this great school IN every partic-
ular and take pleasure in giving our
readers this interesting news.

tempted lynching comes from Hedricls,
lively town of thousand inhabitants
twelve miles north of Ottumwa. Re-
Gently Mrs. Jessie Harlin attempted
suicide by swallowing carbolic acid,
and will die. The cause was jealousy
of an uncommon!y pretty domestic,
Lille Legrand, with whom, she alleg-
ed, her husband was unduly intimate.
A few mornings afterwa-d the young
woman went to her home and attempt
ed suicide, but, being frustrated, finally
gave the reason as the awful treat
ment of her employer. She alleged
that he had driven her, with a sharp
knife, into the bedroom of his dying
wife and assaulted her repeatedly till
morning, threatening both the lite of

of the plans of the mob, got Harlin be.

succeeded in spiriting HIM away to

the shots proved Ineffective. Mrs.
Harlin Is reported to be dying. She
