and recognizing the strong influences brought

DR.. E. Benjamin Andrews.
In his announcement, tho editor of the
Cosmopolita spoke of the university pro-
iect as one long formed. but delayed in
sxecution, because Of the great difficulty
In securing for its direction an expert
spced mind capable of organizing and
administering so important work. It's
protector states that the retirement of
President Andrews is not only a serious
disappointment, but change which, for
the time being, completely disarIanges
all plans for organization.
It appears that there were, September
II. I've thousand. eight hundred and
fifty-six students on the roll OF applicants
Cor admission to the Cosmopolitan Uni
versity. Yet scarcely a month and n half
have elapsed since the somewhat indefinite
announcement of purpose. On the roll
every state and territory and eyey prov
ince OF Canada Is already represented by
applicants in search of every kind and
description of knowledge. The great
majority of app Iications come from men
and women who seem as earnestminded,
determined seekers after knowledge as
may be found in any university in the
world. They are drawn from every class
ranging from tho minister of the Gospel
TO hardworking mechanics, and covering
every profession and division of workers.
Protector Walker states that the retire
ment of Doctor Andrews will cause no
abandonment of the original intention;
but il entirely disarranges oil previously
arranged plans. A Temporary organiza-
tion will be formed with the least pos
sible delay. This will necessarily DO of
less perfect character than IL guided
by the valuable requirements and wide
experience OF Doctor Andrews.

Missouri. Butler has a beautiful lake

Missouri. Butler has a beautiful lake
and park and also has a good system
of waterworks and electric lights.
Many of the principal streets and
driveways are macadamiZed. While
Butler was progressing SO finely not
many years ago gentleman OF But
ler, Mr. w. e. Walton, had a large
and handsome opera house erected,
which was destroyed by fire. then
some OF the most prominent citizens
of Butter united and had another fine
one erected which is now patronized
by some of the best troupes on the
road. Rich Hill is the second TO the
largest city in the county. Not many
years ago this little city was covered
with wild grass, over which roamed
at will the cattle of the neighboring
farmers who little thought that in the
near future there would spring up a
town, and the silence would be dis
turbed by the shriIl sound OF a whistle
and the hum of machinery. But in a
small space of time there stood a
handsome city filled with intelligent
people While Rich Hill is deeply
| interested in many things she is not
forgetful of her school interests and
the advantages resulting from a we'll
regulated school system.
ADRIAN.
Adrian is charming little village
situated in the north central part of
the county amid fertile fields and
rolling prairies. Seventeen years ago
this little town was just making its
first efforts to be organized into q
town. 1t has now become one of the
most attractive features of the county.
Messrs f J Tygard, N S Cowles, E II
Brown, c c Bassett. L Pace and S
r Lashbrooke laid the town out July
6, 1880. Messrs S p Cox, H Moudy and
brother, Nelson, erected the first
business houses and Mr. W S Mahan
erected the first dwelling house.
Thos Heath was the original owner
OF the land upon which the town is
located. The company paid him S1400
for his land which embraced 50 acres.
Adrian has grown rapidly in popuIa-
ton in the last few years and has
fair chance to become one of the
largest and foremost towns in the
county. Adrian is the best shipping
point in the county, there being more
grain and stock shipped from there
than from any other place in the
county. 1T Is composed of some of
our most enterprising and intelligent
people that are found anywhere in
the state of Missouri, and it is always
their wish to build up their city as
much as possible. Adrian has an ex-
cellent school, Prof NJ A Cleveland
has been our principal for the past
year. He has made commendable
success of the school and we hope he
will be principal next year. The pa
irons are all very proud OF their
school and congratulate Prof Cleve-
land upon building their school up in
so short time. The town is charm
ingly decorated with handsome busi-
ness buildings, dwellings, many tall
trees and flowers in abundance every
where, and to-day it is at its best,
being decorated with the flag of our
country.
