Story of a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years by the chains of disease is the worst form of slavery. George D. Williams, of Man chester, Mich, tells how such slave was made free.

 Torres. City, Ark.
 DEAR SRI find myself both surprised and chagrined that your school does not appear on the list of accredited schools in our new catalogue. Your school was duly accredited by unanimous vote of the faculty on the 25th of April last. When at Forrest City, 1 neglected to write down the name ot your school and the initial of your given name. So when I was preparing matter for the catalogue, I wrote the address "Forrest City" and left blank line for the correct name of the school and your name as principal with the correct initial, intending 10 write you for them But az a good deal of copy was gotten ready beyond the list of ac- credited schools, and the whole batch sent to the printer, I simply forgot 10 write you for information so as to fill the blank line reserved for your school, the matter also escaped my notice, also when read the proof. 1 very much re. gret the omlssion-noticed it for the first time to-day. Of course, you are at liberty 10 make any use you may deem proper of the fact that your school is duly accredited to the University.
 With best wishes, very truly,

insurgents under his lead, as this points
to an early submission OF the insurgents
to the American government. None will
be allowed to come into Manila however
until they have laid down their arms for
good
AS for Aguinaldo, 1t is now believed
that he will refuse to the last to make
terms that would meet with the approval
OF General Otis, and that when the in
surrectiOn falls through he will make his
escape to the continent rather than re-
main in Lu2On.
The American losses yesterday were
three men killed and thirty-two wounded
One of the killed was Corporal Ricketts,,
Company I, Twentieth Kansas. Among
the wounded are gallant Lieutenant Col
onel Bruce Walker, Of the Montana regl-
ment, lieutenant of the Second United
States cavalry, who was shot through
the lung while leading a charge across
the open country. The enemy lost heav-
lily.
The heat today knocked out many
more OF our men than did the Filipino
bullets, especially in the marsh lands
north of Malabon, where the Kansas reg
iment was stationed. Fully twenty Of
the Kansans were taken to the hospital.
Manila Feb. 13.--10:35 a. m.--PuTsu-

however, and the Americans did not re-
ply.

try at the Kansas State penitentiaTy,
there would be sufficient room to accom-
mOdate 1t. Your committee, accordingly,
with the warden and mis- assistants, made
such examination, and from 1t we find
that there is abundant room for the in
stillation Of such a plant, with every ia
cility for warehousing both raw material,
and the manufactured product, econom-
ically, but your committee finds that at
present there is insufficient power to OPP
crate the now existing business Of the
penitentiary, and the proposed addition.
Your committee, therefore, recommend
that inasmuch as the present power Is
old and very much worn, and likely, as
the engineer advises us, to give out at
any moment, that provision be made for
the purchase Of new 300 horsepower
to accommodate the same.
We further found upon inquiry and in
vestigation, that there is competent and
abundant prison labor for the successful
operation Of binding twine plant, such
as we hP herein recommended.
