will go elsewhere. The tide, so
strongly set hitherward, will turn,
and Hardin's golden opportunity,
neglected will be lost; it may be
forever. In view of the facts here
recited the president recommends
that the board appoint committee
to look into ways and means to erect
by next fall an additional building
to accommodate seventy to one
hundred more boarding pupils. The
president does not venture to urge
the board to any specific action.
Past experiences and the we'll known
fidelity of the board TO the sacred
trust repesed in them, give the
amplest assurance that the wants of
the college will be wisely and
promptly met as far as possible.
But faith without work, we are
told, lis dead. The president desires
to show his faith by pledging the
use OF $4,000 ior the new building and
also to secure the payment of the
interest on the remaining sum nee
essary for the work. While the
president has spared neither effort
nor expense to furnish il collegiate
course thorough and complete,
modelled after the best colleges and
universities in this country, he has
been impressed with the need of a
conservatory of music in the Missis-
sippi Valley equal in all respects to
the great Conservatives in the Old
World. Hundreds of girls, at cost
OF thousands of dollars, go annually |
to Germany to secure the highest
musical advantages. These would |
all remain here if the desired facili-
ties were afforded. But in all this
broad area of 2,O00,0 900 square
miles, with a population of nearly |
20, COO, 900, there is no great conserv-
atory of music such as there is in |
the Old World. Surely the bene-
dictions of great people await the
school that will supply this growing
demand, To This end, the president
has been investigating the subject
and corresponding with prominent
musicians in Berlin and Leipzig.
His efferts have at last been crown
ed with success and Herr Xaver
Scharwenka, founder of the famous
conservatory at Berlin, which has
trained more than 200 American
students, becomes Director General
OF our conservatory. There is only
one other such conservatory in
A America-in New York City-the
director dividing his time between
thetwo. But we have permanently

THE DONNELLY CASE.
How the Jury stood Up to the 1hir-
teenth and Last Ballet.

The jury in the Joe Donnelly
case on the last ballot before being
discharged stood seven for acquittaI
and five for conviction. 1t is i'm.
possible to find out who of the Jury
stood for conviction and who for ac
quittal as they failed to reveal this
fact. After the jury was discharged
the prisoner was remanded to Jail
and will likely be tried again at the
June term of Circuit Court.
The jury before being discharged
took twelve ballots and were taking
the thirteenth when called into the
court room and discharged. The
ballot stood as follows: First, fo1
acquittal Z, for conviction 3, 2 moi
voting; 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7th ballots
stood s for acquittal and for con-
viction; the Sth and 9th stood s
for conviction and 7 for acquittal
on the 10th ballot the vote was
and 6; on the 11th and 18th ballots
it was Tfor acquittal, 5 for convic-

being taken just as the Sheriff
knocked on the door to call the Jury

was not announced, the vote stood

Nearly everybody is having Il
grippe now days, but, what is still
more unfortunate, large per cent
OF those who are afflicted with this
epidemic instead of getting well, as
they ought to, will have chronic ca
tarrh as the result. This Is almost
invariably the case unless Peru ma
is taken as soon as possible after la
grippe begins. Everyone who has
observed the effect of Pe-ru-na dur
ing the last three epidemics of la
grippe positively knows that this
remedy will cure it permanently.
The fact is, however, that a great
multitude of people will not take
Pc ru-ua, and the foundation for
chronic catarrh will be laid. Here,
again, Peru ma is the only reliable
remedy. Even in cases that the
chronic catarrh has affected the
lungs and the early stages Of
catarrhal consumption have been
developed Pc ru-na can be relied
upon as a prompt and lasting cure.
La grippe and catarrh are at present
the two greatest enemies of life in
the land. Pc ru ma is q cure for
either.

Report OF President Yaneey TO the
Board or Directors February 6.

by order of the board it is made
the presidents duty to report an.
nually to the directors the condition
of the college. 1t is nothing against
the college that frequent demands
have been made on the board for
more room. tits gratifying to know
that every such demand has been
promptly met in the most satisfac-
tory manner; and it is in the highest
degree pleasing TO know that results
nave In every instance proved the
wisdom of the boards action. Eight
years ago, the boarding patronage
numbered 40 in round numbers,
with an income of $4,000. 1t now
numbers 40, with an income of
$50 900, brought every year to this
city. Despite the financial crisis
that has paralyzed the wheels OF
trade and shaken the commercial
world from center to circumference
Hardin has moved steadily onward
with unfaltering steps, and the pres
ent year has crowned its labors with
a success unprecedented in its his
tory. While large sums have been
spent in improvements, and only
three years ago$15, ,OOOwas spent in
new building and its equipment,
yet, by the wise provision made by
Gov. Hardin in his gift the endow-'
ment has grown in ten years>from
$35 900 to over $50, 1000; and MEM

years longer, will see it reach over

Mexico to-day who will live I'd see
the full fruition of Gov. Hardin's
hopes, when the endowment will be

not been slow to make known the
splendid advantages of Hardin.

CALDWELL, KAN, February c.
Feeling just little home sick to-day
| concluded l would send you few
lines, but [ declare I am at loss to
know what to write. VIII say, how
ever, first, that the pressure in mon
ey matters works pretty hard on the
people of this western country. Even
out here in "windy Kansas" God
knows what will be the final end.
But l am of the opinion that we are
at the bed rock and times will soon
begin to get better. If the Democra-
cy of these United States had royal
iy and Loyalty stood by Grover Cleve-
land everything would have been all
right to day. | am sorry for Con
gressmen and Senators who have
antagonized the administration as
they have. Poor fellows, they will
seek repentance, but like Esau, they
will not find it, though they seek
with tears. Grover Cleveland and
those who have so grandly stood by
him will live in the hearts of the
American people forever, while they,
his enemies, will be Stunned and de-
spised, especially by the Democratic
party. Yes, gentlemen, your doom
is sealed, is my honest opinion. l
was sure the party, knowing the past
SO well, would stand firm as the
everlasting hills, but alas they weak.
ened and have given the adversaries
of the "grand old Democratic party"
an occasion to blaspheme. They
ought to be read out at once. Turn
the rascals out is the thing that ought
to be done, but old Grover has got
backbone. He will do what he be-
lieves is right, if the beavens fall. A
public Office with him is public
trust. He is for the general good.
While Congressman and Senators
are trying to do something specially
good for their constituency of course
that is right, unless it is too much
to the detriment Of the whole peo-
pie. Why not at once pass the Will
son tariff bill? Democrats could if
they would, but some little Senator
or Congressman bobs up and objects
Why? Not because it would not be
good tor the people generally, but it
would injure some little Industry"
in my part of the country and then
my constituents would be down on
me and, PLATE like, seek populari-
ty, especially with that faction. If
that was not the condition Of affairs
the Wilson bill would pass at once.
Income tax and everything would
be lovely. I would say then in con-
clusion, stand by the President and
his cabinet, his noble Secretary and
all OF them. Issue the bonds and
save the nations credit and three
years from now we will see every
thing in prosperous condition, is
my prediction. We have had very
mild winter so far. We had fine
rain two weeks ago which was great
