who wrote the ma ority opinion. de-
clared that the findings showed suffi-
cient grounds for the removal of the
regents. In his dissenting opinion
Judge Doster held that the grounds
were insufficient. He concluded:
These charges are trivial. They are made and
prosecuted, Us everybody knows. for the pur-
pose of ouSting the officers named and thereby
gaining political control of one Of the educa-
cational institutions Of the state. They were
not made and prosecuted for the purpose Of ad-
vancing the interests OF the institution, but
were conceived and prosecuted in that spirit of
malignant pnrtisansaip which is o curse to
American politics, and they but provoke y re-
taliatory assault when the trembling balance Of
political majorities in this state shall go the

subserve the ends of office for politicians, and
not Of education for the youth. Similar charges
and proceedings by the oficeseekers Of my
party shall never have countenance by me; nor
will be deferred from denouncing those made
and conducted by political opponents as cause

Waited Sixteen Years.
One day in 1888, Saber, the two-year-
old daughter of Mr.. Rouse, section
foreman on the Frisco railroad in
Cherokee county, wandered away from
the house and lay down on the railroad
track. Soon she was fast asleep, and
she did not walken until a freight train
came along and cut off one of her legs
just below the knee. Nothing was
| ever done in the way of holding the
railroad responsible for damages, and
little Saber grew into happy girlhood
and then attractive womanhood in
spite of her sad Disagreement. Just
before the date of her eighteen tn birth
day, however, she was advised by some
one to bring suit against the railroad
for damages, and last week the attor-
neys of the company were notified that
action had been commenced in the
court of Cherokee county for $50, 600.
