TARRED AND FEATHERED.-Charles
Dnrchek, student at the Wyoming
Seminary. in Kingston, Pa, resident
of Freelapd |, Lnzerne county, where his
fatheris wealthy brewer, was tarred
and feathered by about thirty students
at O'Clock yesterday morning on the
campus. - A., :.
The studl To had FOR the past two
weeks missed articles from their rooms,
and after quietly investigating the mat
ter found that Daschek was guilty.
They resolved to punish him them
selves, and not refer the matter to the
faculty. On Sunday $40 bill was
stolen and found in the tos of Durchek's
shoe. In the evening paper was sent
around from room to room and was
signed by about thirty students.
/ They decided to stand by each other
in the affair they were about to under
take, and if any one was expelled all
were to 60. AT o'clock yesterday
morning The door of Durchek's room
was broken open and he was gagged,
andin his night shirt only. was taken
to the cauapus. There he confessed,
was stripped naked, and coated with
tar The feathers were then added by
liberal handfuls and then he was re-
leased.
The boys went back to bed and Dur
chek spent all night in his room crying.
When he did not come down to break
fast yesterday morning, the faculty
learned of the matter, and President
Sprague, after having the boy cleaned,
expelled him. It is thoughthe will not
say anything to the boys who were en-
gagged in the affair.

never be forgotten by one who has

pear. Even after the croupy cough
has developed it will prevent the
