WEST EIGHTH PAVING.
A Disposition Manifest to Help Out
Bethany College.


At the meeting of the council next
Tuesday evening there likely will be a
protest made by the trustees Of Bethany
college against the proposed West
Eighth street pavement
VIM. Henderson, one of the Bethany
trustees. said this morning: L don't see
how the college can possibly stand it TO
this pavement is laid, it viii practically
compel US to shut up our doors 1
don't know that it will do any good to
protest, but 1 think that some of the
trustees Will appear before the council
and state our side of the case"
Mr.. Henderson was asked in regard to
the agreement entered into by the coun-
ell at the time the West Tenth street
pavement was under consideration.
The agreement was said Mr.. Hen
derson. that if the college would accept
the West Tenth pavement without pro-
test. the city would not impose any more
pavement tax on the college for four
or five years. In the present situation,
it seems to me the city ought to be will
Eighth rest for a couple Of years. By
that time the college will be in shape
to stand the burden. and the city viii
also be in better shape to stand it. The
city'S finances are not much better than
those Of the college at the present time. II
The agreement in regard to future
pavement past the Bethany grounds,
made at the time the West Tenth pave
ment was laid. is described as follows
by John Elliott, who was chairman Of
the council committee on streets and
walks at that time;
TT is true that the streets and walks
committee had ar understanding with
the Bethany trustees that no more
pavement would be taxed UP against

the college for four years I think
there was no written agreement, and
believe the council, as a body, took no
official action But the individual
members We're all willing to make such
an agreement
The cost to Bethany for the proposed
West Eighth pavement Will be between
$2.4O0 and 81, 100 1t is payable in ten
yearly installments, with interest.
At the time the West Tenth pavement
was laid VIM. Macferran, of the To-
peka savings pank, was one OF me
chief hackers Of the moven emit lie said
yesterday, in speaking Of the proposed
West Eighth pavement:
I never heard of any agreement be-
tween the council and Bethany in re
gard to future pavement. But do
think that there are two sides to this
West Eighth pavement. Both sides are
right In the first place, Bethany
should not block the progress of the
city improvements But on the other
hand, the people on West Eighth should
not force this pavement through II it
is going to seriously block the progress
Of the college. Bethany owns a very
valuable piece Of property, the gift of
the city Tt is the best land in town.
1t is under certain obligations, as the
owner of this land, to stand for the
welfare of the town. 1 believe that
those who want the pavement should
try to get together with the Bethany
trustees and reach a friendly agree
ment. I think that if the matter is
WOIASQ properly the pCODAC u the CITY
will be glad to subscribe money to help
the college pay for the pavement. But
the pavement ought to be laid
A scheme has now been proposed by
M. w. Gilmore for securing the pave
ment of the block between Buchanan
and Lincoln streets, where the gov
ernor's mansion stands. Mr.. Gin ore
says that he can secure the cash nee
essary to guarantee the states share
of the expense. Certain parties have
promised to advance this money and
trust to the next legislature to be re-
imbursed. Mr. Gilmore is preparing a
petition for this block of pavement,
and will proba bly, present it at the next
meeting of the city council.

at Washinqton, Iowa.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-The case of the
state OF Iowa against Henry Humm,
charged with assault with intent to COM
nit murs,er on the person of his neigh-
bor, William Buntenbach. formerly of
Muscatine, is now pending in the district
court here before Judge Clements and is
arousing universal interest. The man
iwho was shot recently recogefsd from
ris wound received on the last day of
July, and will be one of the principal
witnesses for the state. The shooting
occurred in a road in front of the de-
fendants house in Marion township.
There had been long feud existing be-
tween the two men. The shooting oc-
Cured in the presence of the families of
both men, who had become enraged over
a calf which had broken out. Both men
claimed the calf. 3intenbach had been
carving shotgun. which he left in his
own pasture by fence. when he was
dared into the middle of the road by
Humm.
When he reached the middle of the
road he refused to go farther and was
shot by the defendant thru the right
lung with a 32-caliber revolver. Several
neighbors of the two men were put on
the stand yesterday and testified to pre-
yious threats that had been made at diff
ferent times by the defendant. Both
sides contend that threats had been
made by the opposite party. The wife
and children of Buntenbach have been
on the stand and tell connected story.
rhe defendant put on witnesses to show
that the defendant is = years of age ana
OF frail constitution. They claim that ne
did the shooting simply in self-defense.

The ventilation of these rooms is in ac-
cordance with hygienic notions of a
century ago. and is simply eXecrable
Features of the present arrangement
which are specially condemned are the
electric light and gas plants; no water
or sanitary arrangements in the bar
racks, and no bathroom, the lack or
church facilities, and the hotel. which
is described as "a mere hut. The
water supply also is threatened and a
water famine is imminent nearly every
summer.
The report says the board is salts
fled that hazing has been eradicated.
Full credit is given TO Colonel Mills for
this. The report also says that the
sturdy support given Colnel Mills by
the secretary of war has done much to
establish and secure discipline upon a
sound basis.
The report refers to athletics and
SAYS that cadets members of the base
ball and foot ball teams compare fav-
orably with others who do not par
.ticipate in these games. 1t is recon-
mended that the academy be provided
a modern seacoast battery and a mod
ern mountain battery for the instruc-
ton of the cadets.
The board recommends that the pay
of the cadets which is now s540 a year
each, be increased 500 a year, to be
equal to that of naval cadets.

country is on the lookout

Topeka. Kas., Nov 1.-two of the
convicts captured near Cottonwood Falis
last evening, Gilbert Mullen and South
erland, are the men who captured SheriIl
Cook near here last Sunday. The other
Fred Robinson. had joined them, 1t IS
thought, after the capture of the con-
victs in Council Grove.
The battle in which the convicts We're
taken today was brief but exciting.
Capt. Trelford and a company of pris-
on guards We're searching for three
convicts. who left some very noticeable
clews behind them Finally, when near
ing a strip of timber, the officers saw
the runaways without being seen by
them. Hastily moving round under the
shelter of n small hill. the guards man
aged to get in front of the convicts
before they had reached the timber.
Capt. Trelford called upon them to
surrender. They did not answer but
broke into a run. The guards then
opened fire. without effect.
The convicts had no ammunition and
could not return the fire. After brief
chase, in which numerous shots We're
fired, Southerland was wounded. and
then the others surrendered.
Mullins is still suffering from a
wound In the leg as a result of the
fight with Sheriff Cook. and could not
do much running
