uG DIGQlCllOllS llldue d 1cW Qdy ; ago by the Little Rock papers that the university management woul d be entirely justified, seem to have been little premature. We clip the following from the Gazette of Feb. 2S.
 Tt was developed i'll the pro- ceedings that while at Fayetteville President Mitchell of the board of trustees testified that the reason Dr. Bynum was discharged was that to his (Mitchell's) own personal knowledge Dr. Bynum was a drunkard, immoral and a libertine, wholly unfit for the position, and his utterances and conduct relative to the university and its manage ment were disgraceful unbecoming a member of the faculty of the in- stitution, and could not be tolerat ed. It was also developed that the board refused to announce that as a reason for his removal for the reason that 1t was not the purpose of the board to injure him or wound his feelings.
 
 "To offset this statement the w it nesses on the stand last night testi- fled to a man that they had never heard of any charge detrimental to Dr. Bynum' $ character, either pri- vate or public, until the committee visited Fayetteville. The wit nesses were prominent citizens of Fayetteville and two of them were teachers i'll the university. It was admitted, however, by each wit ness when questioned by Judge House that a man might be immor- al and incorporate away from home and the people be none the wiser. On this point it was devel oped that President Mitchell had stated that he was with Dr. Bynum in Little Rock just after his cleo ton in June and saw him drunk
 
 at Gleason's s hotel.
 ITO offset this the telegram from Congressman Dinsmore was filed, stating that he was with Dr. By mum all that day and slept with him that night on the date men toned, and If he was intoxicated or under the influence of liquor he (Dinsmore) could not detect it. v
 Thus 1t will be seen that per haps after all there is something rotten in Denmark. Either Congressman Dinsmore has lied or Mir. Mithell has lied or one of the two was unable to distinguish be- tween a drunken sot and sober, intelligent professor.

It is strange thing that, evi- dent as is our need ofrailroads, fac tories and other investments of cap ital, some of our legislators seek to lay every restriction possible upon these industries. They have, at a great expense of time, sought to pass laws forcing railroads to stop their fast trains at countless un- known and unheard-of stations, to charge only two cents mile on their passenger trains, and lastly to lay heavy tax on franchise of all kinds. Even if these laws were just, 1t would be far more expedi- ent to wait until we get a few more railroads and factories, before we legislate so heavily against them.

JOhan Beck, Who Came Across Nailed
Up in q Box.
The man who was discovered in the hold
Of the Hamburg-American steamer PaIatia
on it's arrival In New York after having
made the trip across the ocean in a box hao
recovered sufficiently yesterday to be able
to establish his identity positively. He said
his name was Johan Beck, and that he had
lived up to about a year ago in Budapest
Hungary.
The doctors would not allow him to tell
all his story. but enough was learned from
MIN and other sources to show that Beck
was house painter, and that he had come
across the card of an uptown hotel in New
York, the proprietors Of which have German
names. Though a stranger to them he
wrote that he could get no work in Ger
many and was coming to America and
thing to do. Then he fitted up a packing
case, paid freight charges on it. and en-
gagged carter to take It to the HAMBURG
pier at certain time. He then returned
to his lodgings and boxed himself up after
he had provisioned himself with a dozen
cans OF condensed milk. box OF prunes.
three dozen cakes of chocolate, coffee In
bottles. and some bread. The carter called
and got the box. not knowing of it's liv-
ing contents. and shipped 1t.
Beck declares he was in the box until the
ship reached the Hoboken pier a period OF
about fifteen days. when he was found al
most dead from hunger, cold and terror.
Last night he was reported to be stiil ex-
ceedingiy weak. but the physicians hope
for his recovery.

estate owner and horseman, is said to have
interested himself in the case and to have

OF the contest his average was over 10.
In the afternoon contest Sutton showed
much better billiards than in the opening
contest with Barutel. Howison. the win
ner of the bank, failed to count, and SUIT
ton scored but /. This lead he further in
creased with run OF 16 in the second In
ming, and at the twentieth inning he had
an advantage of 81 points. Howison made
two fair runs at this point, one of 30 points
in the twenty-first inning and the other for
IL an inning later. He had the balls an
swering his cue nicely in each case, but
failed to drive them out of balk. With
runs of 26 and 81 made In the same innings

toms best work was done in the thirtieth
