Sitt OF 6i'ooo from brewer Busch.
SPRINGFIEI.D, Mo-, Jan. GA sen.
sation was created in Drury college
this morning by a call meeting OF
students this afternoon. The call is
sighed by several students and its al.
legged purpose is to express disapproval
of the action Of President Homer II.
Fuller in accepting a gift Of s | 1000
from Adolphus Busch, the st. Louis
brewer, to apply on the Pearson en-
dowment. Sentiment in the college is
with the president in his acceptance
of the gift, and in the city there is no
sympathy with the oellig-rents.

basis Of modern museum methods.
which aim At making museums USE
full aud instructive, not only to
specialists, but to the general public
- we'll. In the description of the
collections in this forthcoming cata.
logus it is stated that this part OF
the collection is one Of the most COM
plete Of its kind now on exhibition
in the state.
This Part Of Augustana college
should be made useful by all inter-
ested in natural science in our city.
1t is Of interest to everybody to see it.
and it is q feature Of the educational
advantages offered in our city. In
this connection we are reminded OF
the efforts now being made in Mas
sachusetts to establish local museums
as adjuncts 10 public education in
the smaller towns as well as in the
larger cities.
Prof. +. &. Morse has recently
written a paper on the subject: "If
Public Libraries, Why Not Public
Museums" and he says that if the
public library is ablished primarily
for educational purposes, surely the
public museum should come in the
same category. 1.-THE potency Of an
object" he continues, ''in conveying
information beyond all pages Of de.
scription is seen in the fact that in
the museum simple liable associ.
ated with a veritable object is often
sufficient to tell the story at q
glance. The rapid development OF
modern arts of illustration. aud the
conspicuous use Of these methods in
books. magazines, dictionaries and
even in the daily papers, attest the
power OF pictorial art in impartine
information quickly and clearly
How far more important it would
seem to be to provide an exhibition
OF the objects themselves In science
art and history, to which the public
might have free access"
Everybody will be pleased to not,
this desire on the part of the colleg,
to be useful to the community wher,
1t is located, and 1t is hoped that tn,
invitation extended will be accepted
by all who can find the time fo,

AFTER THE TOOL THIEVES.
Union Carpenters Disp1eased With
Police Judge Campbell.

Union Carpenters DispIeased With
Police Judge Campbell.
For years past the carpenters and other
workmen of this City have been frequently
made the victims of sneak-thieves who
stole their tools, which were sold for very
small sums in the secondhand stores.
The carpenters have at last taken hold Of
this matter and will do all in their power
TO put stop TO this line of thieving
Union 483 last evening in passing reso-
luton on this matter, gave Police Judge
Campbell a slap for the stand he took in
the case of self-confessed thief recently.
The resolution reads as follows:
WHEREAS, 1t has for some years been the mis-
fortune of carpenters working on buildings
in this City to have their tools stolen, thereby
suffering loss of money and work, preventing
them from earning a living for themselves and
families, we, the carpenters OF Union 4S3, are
hereby determined to prosecute all who are
caught stealing tools to the fullest extent.
On May % last, a sneak-thef named Mohler,
was arraigned before Judge Campbell, and on
the plea of his mother that the tools had been
stolen to get money for her. as she needed
food, the kind-hearted Judge let this convicted
tool thief so for thirty days, and if he ap-
peared then, and no other charges were
brought against him, his case would be dis.
missed.
What about the carpenter, his wife and chill
dren who had to go hungry, not because some
one had stolen his spare cash, but hG1 robbed
him of his tools and his ability to carr bread
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-03

Frick has overruled the demurrer of the
defendants and now the case must go to
trial as to the individual liability upon ten
bonds in the sum of $1,000 each, held by
plaintiffs, which with interest now amounts
to $11, 300 and upward.
The amounts claimed to be due from the
individual stockholders are as follows:
E. A. Heron, $5S3 81; Phoebe II. Blair,
s2s45 IL; Charles r. Bishop, S1908 40; ]. R.
Spring, 1927 49, F. A. Huntington, 1894 "a /;

Hyman Abraham, 1916 03; w. II. Liemert,
$6lS SO; W. J. Dingee, 1916 03.
There was S2,000,000 capital stock, but
only $1502 500 was issued. There were
1892 coo bonds issued, and all but the
holders of the ten bonds involved in the
suit entered into plan TO sell under fore
closure, and, bidding it in al nominal
price, to reorganize under a new name.
This left the bondholders in the cold, and
they are now enforcing their claim against
the individual stockholders.
