We have had some
experience with tho
express companies. |
remember that we
shipped a package OF
money to a point in
Wisconsin on an if-
ternoon about 8
o'clock. and the next
day about 2 o'clock
the agent OF the ex-
press company called
In at our bank with 4
certified check for the
money, and said that
the package had been
shipped yesterday and
had gotten to n town
In Wisconsin, and
wd5' lost, and had
been reported not de-
liverod. Before we
knew that the pack
age was lost, the ex-
press company had
paid. Our CORE
spondent in Wiscon-
sin had not notified
us OF its non arrival.
/ believe 1t is the his
tory of the shipments
by the express COM
bany that where
there is a loss they
are prompt in set
Ting. i presume
some of you gentle
mon have had the
same experience.
When u man orders
$4,000, or $40, 600. or.
Sl5. 600, he orders IL
because he wants the
MONEY; and II he is
going to be kept out

weeks, or thirty or

Sensible of the great loss and that of
the Institution in the death OF President
Lawrence Sullivan Ross and believing that,
great as he was in the field of war and In
the halls Of State, he was no less great as
u college administrator, and probably even
more useful in that capacity, we adopt the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That, while the State may
Justly mourn the soldier and the statesman.
we alone fully know how much the moral
worth of his character Will be missed In
every part OF this school; how we'll quail
fled he was, In every way, to impress upon
the youths entrusted to his care. the beauty
OF life consocrated to noble aims and high
ideals;
That while thanking God that ne was
spared to do so great work here, we la
meut that he should have heen taken from
this work ut time when his efforts were
meeting with such success;
That we wish to record one profound
conviction that 10 the quiet influence or
his presence and example have been large
~ due the successful uuitedhnfforts OF the
faculty, the orderly and studlous conduct
OF the student body aud the good reputa-
ton OF the institution
That TO his untiring eifr'ts:and well dl-
rected energy the college Is largely indeDt-
ed for the many material improvements
that have taken place during his admins
tration. making these seven Years an I'M
eNampled period of growth and prosperity
That We have high sense of regret,
which will grow upon us day hy day for the
loss Of his genial presence and his wise and
kindly counsel. and that in token OF ohr
sorrow for his loss and respect FOR his men-

II immediately to the

Through the postof-
fee department we
found IL had disar-
pearcd Mt Omaha. The
package was lost and
has not turned up.
We insisted that the
insurance company
should make prompt
settlement for the
loss, and. after two
weeks, we sent for
the agent to come In.
and he stated that as
soon as they Were
certain that the pack
age was lost, that
they MOULD pay it.
After three weeks
had elapsed we sent

again, and he thon !
prepared proofs of |

Advantages OF the Express Over
Registered Mail.

Express Gazette.
AZ the recent meeting OF the Indiana Bank
ers' association paper was read on Cur
rency Shipments by Registered Mall which
led TO very interesting discussion of the
question. Among the speakers was Mr.. Will
lam 4. Fenton. the cashier OF the National
Bank of the Republic of Chicago. It was
this bank that had shipped the $4,000 package
which recently disappeared from the regis
tered mail, and Mr.. Fenton's remarks on the
question of shipping currency by mail, there
fore received marked attention. He drew two
striking pictures, contrasting the delay OF
adjustment of losses in the shipment OF
money by mail with the prompt settlement
OF losses in express shipments. We quote Mr..
Fenton's remarks MS they appear Ia the Cap
