There is considerable gossip in state
university circles at Columbia.
There is a movement which will soon be on
foot for the improvement Of the medical school
in connection with the institution. There can
be no doubt of the fact that this department
has in past years been neglected by the cura-
tors. Though it has highly efficient faculty,
1t has no accommodations other than a
rickety old building, which has stood
in remote corner of the campus
since ante-bellum days. and is now
in depressing contrast with the magnificent
new edifces built for the other departments.
The proposed request for an appropriation for
the new building from the next legislature was
an issue in the recent campaign for county Of
fcers.and all the doctors and druggists of Boone
county united in supporting and electing Henry
jenkins for the legislature. it was UNDER
stood that he was in favor Of the proposed ap-
preparation. 1t is believed that Gov. Stone
will interest himself directly in assisting this
movement. The recent appointment of G. B.
Rollins. of Columbia, a curator is also con-
sidered favorable to the medical department.
The annual summer school of the university
Is now in progress, with better attendance
than ever before, and the prospects are good
for a large enrolment at the beginning of the
regular winter session next September. A
school known as the university annex has
been established to take the place OF the re-
cently-abolished preparatory department to
prepare students for entering the university.

Developed by an Attempt to Ferret Out .
Murder.
CHICAGO. June 29.-The preliminary
examination of Special Agent Maxwell,
of the Grand Trunk road, as accessory
to the murder of George Newcomb, a
special agent of the Chicago & Western
Indiana road, brought out facts relat.
ing to the plundering of the railroad
agents employed to detect thieves,
which have SO far become public
property, that it is now known that
the railroads affected have lost
between $4,000 and $4,000 in
merchandise, baggage intrusted to
their care, tickets collected and resold
and claims made by passengers who
were held up on their lines with the
connivance of detectives, thieves and
employees.
The story as developed, shows re-
marlable system of robbery covering a
period of more than six months, and
checked only by the killing of George
Newcomb. His tragic death brought
sharply to the attention of the su.
periors of the special agents of the
Chicago & Western Indiana railroad
and the Grand Trunk the details of the
criminal combination working under
their eyes, and while this may not lead
to the detection of the murderer OF
Newcomb, it has already started COM
plete reorganization of the special
agent systems employed by both lines.
