expected. Tie jury was only out four
hours. Considering the unexpected
ness of the verdict. Mrs Botkin kept
herself well II hand when her fate was
announced. Not until the jurymen
and most Of the spectators
had left the room did she give evil
dence of collapse. Then she sank
back half fainting, but speedily re-
vived when she was given a glass of
water. The jury retired about 6
o'clock. The evidence was carefully
gone over and a prolonged discussion
followed 1t is not known how many
ballots were taken before a final
agreement was reached, but there is
rumor that at first the opinions of
the II jurymen were not in accord and
that before unanimity was arrived at
a compromise was effected. After the
jury was polled Judge Cook announced
that sentence would be pronounced
Jan. T. He then remanded the prison
err to the custody of the sheriff.

them with the utmost cruelty and

tural and mechanical college OF Ken
lucky was made one of the colleges of
Kentucky university. Its first session
began Oct. /, 1866. This college, how
ever, ceased to be a COLLEGE of Ken
lucky university by virtue of an act of
the legislature in 1878. The CONNER
cial college was opened to students
October Z, 1861. In 1889 the college of
liberal arts and the academy were
opened 10 young women. In that year
the university contributed to the edu-
cational exhibit that was sent by the
government of the United States to the
Exposition Iniverselle in Paris, and
in 1893 to the Kentucky exhibit in the
liberal arts department of the Worlds
Columbian exposition in Chicago
Both these contributions we're honored
with awards. The department of ply
steal culture was opened in 1894. In
the autumn of that year the Kentucky
school of medicine, which was estab-
lished in Louisville Ky, in 1850, as a
branch of the medical department or
Pennsylvania university, became one
of the associated colleges of Kentucky
university.

Carrying Western Mails-Some-
thing About Big Engines Being
Used for These Fast Trains.

Chicago, Jan. Steel and steam
fought steel and steam in the great
fast mail contest last night. How the
race from Chicago TO Omaha ended
cannot be told until this morning, for
the Northwestern and Burlington
trains do not reach Omaha until then.
But when last heard from both fast
mail trains were in Central Iowa, fly
ing westward at better rate than a
mile minute. The Burlington's fast
mail left Chicago at $3.50 p. m. The
new flyer on the Northwestern road
left one-half hour later. The Burling-
ton is due at Omaha at 55 a. m. and
the Northwestern at SIS a. N. The
trains ran at times at the rate of so
miles an hour, while the lowest was
10.
The Northwestern used its 900 series

pounds; weight of tender loaded $4,000
pounds; water capacity of ten

The load behind these engines was
not heavy one. Only mail cars were
attached, and the entire equipment
was for speed making. The North
western had 1925 miles to run and the
Burlington 500. The mail which the
Burlington carried, and which the
Northwestern desires, left New York
city and Boston simultaneously Sun
day night at 9 o'clock, entering Chi
cago at $3.50 last night over the Lake
Shore.
The oriental mail, which by order of
the postOffice department, is to cross
the continent in Is hours less time than
that occupied by trains under the old
system, passed through Chicago last
evening on time. At exactly 1928
O'Clock, two minutes ahead of it's
schedule, the Lake Shore fast mail
drew into the station at Van Buren,
street and scarcely had the wheels
ceased revolving when the mail
pouches began to fly out of the car
doors to waiting trucks. Eighteen
wagons were waiting on the curb and
in Is minutes they were all loaded and
on their way to the Union depot
Forty-fve minutes from the time the
Lake Shore train drew into Chicago
