MISSOURI STATE NEWS.
Those University Acres.

The secretary of the interior mas held
np an order issued by the authority of
his predecessor comforting $4,000 acres
Of land upon the State University of
Missouri as an addition to its endow-
ment fund.
Under an old act of congress Missouri was
entitled to something like AZ, 900 acres Of land
for the establishment of an agricultural college,
and was authorized to take alternate sections
along the lines of land grant railroads at
double the maximum price for public lands or
ESQ per acre By taking such alternate sec
hons the STAGE only got half as many acres as it
would have been entitled to out Of the ordinary
domain.
1t so happened that IS. 900 acres along a branch
line Of the San Francisco road in Missouri was
taken for this college, and that this branch was
never completed, whereupon demand for A.
900 additional acres was made upon Secretary
Francis and allowed by him A similar demand
previously made by Kansas under almost
exactly similar circumstances had been
refused, whereupon the Kansans entered
protest against the contamination of the Mis-
souri, deal, holding that if Missouri was entitled
to any such additional acreage for educational
purposes, Kansas must be treated the same way
Secretary Bliss takes this view of the matter.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. April 1S-No more
breaks are reported in the Louisiana
levee district tonight, although the
embankments at Hancock and Ferri-
day, III the northern part of Concordia
parish, are reported to be very weak
and a break may occur at any hour.
The crevasse at Biggs is now a seeth-
ing torrent and the waters are spread
ing rapidly throughout Madison par
iSh.
At Cowpen the levee is seeping badly,
and although superhuman effort is
being made to hold it, many expert
enced river men are of the opinion that
a break will occur sooner or later.
The town of Vidalia is in a very crit
ical condition and many of the inhab-
itants are hastily packing their most
valuable effects and are fleeing to
Natchez. The waters from the Bigps
crevasse are expected to inundate the
town by Wednesday.
At Natchez refugees continue to ar
rive in large numbers. while live stool.

city in large droves. Thousands OF
men line the lower levees to-nioht
watching every weak point and honino
for the best.

The Methodist Episcopal ministers of
st. Louis adopted the following:
Our beloved Bishop Bowman in removing to
Evanston, Ill, needs no reinsurance from us of
the reverence and affection with which Meth
odism cherisheS his name and work in St. Louis.
He has been our leader, counselor and friend for
25 years; nearly all our churches in this COM
munity which have been erected in that period
have been dedicated by him; all our con-
nectional causes, and all our needy churches
have found in him their advocate and
friend; while in the homes of rich and poor
alike he has been an appreciated and welcome
guest. While We greatly wish that he might
have chosen to remain here, where his name
has been household word for quarter of a
century, yet we recognize the fitness of his de-
cision in choosing Evanston. the home of his
daughter, as his residence. We shall hope to
see him often among US, and we pray that God
may spare him in vigor and service vet many
years to the church.
