COME TO THE SUPPORT.
Ten Thousand Dollars Must be
Raised in Dawson County for
the University Building.

The citizens Of Mitchell and Dawson
county should congratulate themselves
on the prosperous condition of the Uni
versity. More students are attending
than ever before. The new building
proposed is crying necessity from the
crowded condition. Every citizen
should hasten to contribute to the fund
and not wait for personal solicitation
of the agent, or &C least have your
mind made up as to what amount you
are going to contribute to this worthy
cause. Mitchell and Dawson county
are asked for ten thousand dollars and
it ought not to be difficult matter to
raise the sum among the people. The
additional building means more to the
city and county than any other enter
prise and will be the means of increas-
ing the number Of students to the Uni
versity. President Graham says that
SO far about 81, 900 has been subscribed
and he wants to see the balance of the
money raise as speedily as possible as
it is necessary to begin the new build
ing at once. AS soon as spring opens
the president hopes to be able to COM
mence the construction of the now
building.

was understood that there were three
candidates for the appointment and
each OF the candidates had several OF
their friends in the city to do what
they could in the way OF securing the
appointment. Tho court announced
this morning that he had named o. P.
Auld, of PlAnkinton for receiver, and
he will enter upon his duties at once.
Mr.. Auld was required by the court to
give bonds for the performance Of his
duties in the sum OF $4,000.
The decision of the court in no way
affects the attachments of the creditors
that are now against the bank. 1t is
understood that the attaching
creditors will endeavor to have the at
tachments dissolved and let the settle
msnt of the banks matters take the
usual course. 1t was stated by one of
the attorneys in the case that he un-
derstood that the creditors who put the
attachment on the bank property we're
willing to have the receiver appointed,
believing that the matter could be ad-
justed in this way to the satisfaction OF
all as we'll as any other.

HAD NARROW ESCAPE
Sheriff SWindler in Pursuit Of an
Escaped Prisoner Monday Went
Through the Ice.

AFTER ESCAPED PRISONER.
Sheriff Swindler Took Cold Bath in
Endeavoring to Capture
Prisoner.

That Sheriff Henry Svindler is
live man today he owes to good luck
and com mbination of circumstances
that was the means of saving his life
late M ,'nday afternoon. The sheriff
had been up to place northeast of
town to place under arrest young
fellow by the name of L. N. Denton,
whose home was at Washington
Springs. He was charged with small
case of petty larceny which could easily
have been settled had the prisoner
come to town. Henry had the boy in
the buggy and was driving toward the
city and when they were within q short
distance of the Firesteel the boy took
advantage of an opportunity to jump
out of the buggy and cut and run. OF
course the sheriff didn't loose any time
in getting after him and with the as
sistance of W. q. McKeel and another
party they about had him cornered
when the boy started off toward the
creek and out of sight of all but the
sheriff. Henry went after him on tie
run and was within few feet of him
when they approached the bank of the
creek. The lcemen had been cutting
ice there and it looked unsafe for cross
ing. However, the boy took his
chances aud went across safely.
When the sheriff followed his weight
proved too heavy and he broke
through, the ice breaking all around
him. For about twenty minutes Mr..
Swindler said he struggled with all his
night to relieve himself from his un-
fortunate position, and a. the other
men had lost sight of him in going
down the hill they did not know of his
predicament. Henry said he was ex-
hausted from his struggles and made
up his mind that he would never get
out alive, when in floating about his
head came in contact with q piece of
weight until he had regained some of
his strength. He was then able to
make his way out of the stream, but
was chilled through. He got in the
buggy with Mr.. McKeel and they drove
short distance in search of the boy
and not seeing anything of him re-
turned to town. Mr.. Swlndler was
taken to his home and for the greater
part of the night a physician was work.
ing with him. Today the sheriff got
around with some difficulty and started
further search, having sent his dep
uty out as soon as he got to town in the
evening.
1t was pretty narrow escape for the
sheriff and he says he he does not
court any more such close calls.

Mark Williams is quite we'll known

development in matters in which he

that his real name is William Blacker.
A suit for divorce was begun here

suit brought out the fact that Mrs
Williams bad, by the name Of Mrs
Prichard, secured divorce at Huron

band. In an application for alimony
by Mrs. William, the court at Mitchell
ordered quite large sum to be paid

CARDS AND DANCING.
These Two Forms of Amusement
We're Provided by the East
ern Star at Their Party.

When the Eastern Star Chapter sent
out their invitations for their card
and dancing party there was not much
going on in society, but early in the
week, and since, several private parties
were given and it was thought these
would operate to some extent against
the attendance at the Chapter party.
In this the committee was happily
disappointed for the number who went
on Thursday evening was sufficient to
test the playing capacity of the largest
Masonic hall, and in fact was the large
card party that was ever held there.
Progressive cinch was the game played
and when the crowd commenced play
ing there was twenty-five tables in oper-
alton. The game progressed for an
hour and half and at the end of that
time it was suspende cd to hear the an
nouncement of the winners. The first
prize for the ladies was awarded to
Mrs. Geo. Miner, who lost but one
game during the evening. F. b.
Winsor won the first prize for the
gentlemen, who quit with as good .
record as the champion for the
ladies. Mrs. S. G. Jones and T. c..
Burns came in for the consolation
prizes, the former cutting the cards for
the distinction with Miss Blanche
Rowley.
After the prizes had been awarded
the tables we're cleared from the floor
and dancing was INDUCED in until mid
night. The party was nicely managed
and furnished great deal of pleasure
to the participants. The Chapter will
give series of parties during the win
ter and if the rest turn out so pleasant
as the initial one they will undoubtedly
be we'll patronized.

From the PhiIiDpines.

Jimmie Dsvine, who will be remem-
bered as having enlisted in the regular
army last fall in this city, writes an
interesting letter from Cabanutan, in
the Philippines, dated Nov. 13, 1899.
Jimmie is with the thirtyfourth regi-
ment and says he is getting along fine.
On the day the letter was written he
said his regiment had received orders
to march that night to make an attack
on Tarlac. AS to the possible close OF
the war Jimmie said that the officers
give it as their opinion that they will
return to the United States in time to-
celebrate the Fourth of July.

APPOINTED THE RECEIVER
Judge Smith Rendered the Decision
in Favor of the Non-Attach-
ing Creditors.

Judge Smith of the circuit court
heard a motion Saturday which
asked for the appointment of receiver
for the Plankinton bank. The motion
was brOug hs by Aurora county which
sues for the amount of money on deposit
when the bank failed and also asks
for receiver. The unattached credit
ors, represented by S. H. Bukewell and
A. E. Hitchcock, have joined is
sues, with the bank, represented by
Judge Fellows, and ask that the attach
ments that have been placed on the
bank property be dissolved. Messrs.
Preston and Spangler, of this city, and
w. g. Cook, of Plankinton, will defend
the attaching creditors from any such
proceedings. Quite number of peo-
pie came down from Plankintou to
listen to the proceedings and urge the
claims of the respective gentlemen
who are candid ates tor the appointment
OF receiver.
After considerable work has been
done on the bank books and the figures
gone over it is given out that the liza
bilities amount to $3l, O27.60 and the
assets at s3l, ,584.6O, which is quite a
shrinkage from the former figures.
The motion that was argued before
Judge Smith Saturday afternoon by
attorneys in reference to the appoint.
ment OF . receiver for the defunct
Plankinton bank was concluded at q
late hour and the court took the mat
ter under advisemsnt, to render the de-
cision later. Monday morning Judge
Smith announced that there would be Q
receiver for the bank appointed. 1t

AfternOOn
DEDICATED THEIR CHURCH..

The Free Methodists are happy lot
OF people today. They dedicated their
church Sunday afternoon and every
debt against the chhrch is provid. d for.
The little edtfice on the south side Was
inadequate to the crowd which gather
ed to witness the dedication ceremony
and great many were content to stand
outside as the day was quite warm and
1t was no discomfort to stand in the
sun. The rermon was preached by
Rev. T. FL. Marsh, of Chicago, and his
effort WAS pronounced fine by those
who heard it. he was assisted in the
services by the pastor, Rev. Geo. W.
Austin.
For several years the member of the
church have been holding services in
a little building on Duff street but it as
grown too small in the past year for the
mem bership and it was necessary to
find larger home for the people. A
church building at Mt. Vernon was
purchased aud with the aid of two
threshing machines engines it was
brought to this city and placed on the
lots owned by the church on the south
side. Since then the members have
been endeavoring to raise enough
money to close up the indebtedness oc-
casioned by the purchase of the church
and the improvements that had boon
made upon the building. The debt
amounted to about $3.50 and of this sum
about 5000 had been raised during the
week by the efforts of several people.
At the dedication OF the church it was
undertaken to raise the balance of the
debt and they we're successful beyond
their anticipations. Over $3.50 was
raised at the church and considerable
excitement and good feeling was mani
tested during the time, People stood
outside of the church and shouted out
their donations and when the plate was
passed they threw their money in at
the windo W, in fact anyway, seemingly,
to help the church raise the debt. The
church is comfortably situated and it
presents an attractiue appearance since
it has been painted, papered and car
peted. Rev. Mr.. Austin, although h
blind, ministers to the congregation in
very satisfactory way and he is very
popular with his people.

NEW YORK. June 13.--The Rev. i. T.
HeadIand, professor of mental and moral
philosophy and astronomy "a Pekin Uni

day the meaning of the Boxers. the So
ciety that has set all China by the ears
He said that the name in Chinese is Il

means hst-a clenched fist. Prof. Head
land says the entire title means that the
Boxers will fight for righteousness ana
peace. The professor said:
THE Boxers appear to have spruns up
in opposition to foreigners because Of the
irritatious largely growing out. of the
operations OF the French Catholics. The
French Minister had secured for the
French Catholic missioa aries appointments
as Chinese officials in order to facilitate
their operations in the settlement OF Iiti-
CATION between the native Christians and
outside Christians. AS the Catholic mis-
sionaries were officials of China. they
generally outranked the sitting magis-
trates.
Accordingly they usually settled the
case in court themselves. When tneiF
rank proved to be lower than that OF the
magistrate it amounted to nearly the
same thing. as the influence of their OIL
cial relations generally controlled the ac-
ton of the court. The Chinese declare
that a great deal of litigation in ocnse-
quence went by favor. being thus Induly
influenced by the Catholic-Chinese eff
Gals, and was not decided upon the merits
