OWNS BEAUMONT DIRT.
Marion Female College Plays in
 Great Luck.

Marion, June 10-(Special)-A little financial romance has just come to light in Marion.
 Several years ago a Texas horse dealer entered his daughter ill the Ma rion Female Seminary. At the conclu- sion of the session and when the young woman returned to her home, Prof. J. D. Wade, superintendent of the sem mary, received .a letter from the father stating that luck had gone bad with him and he was unable to pay his daughters tuition and board, but that he was an honest man and would deed the college a section of land located near Beaumont. The proposition was accepted, but no attention was paid to the property except to secure the deeds and keep the taxes paid. During the recent oil excitement, Professor Wade took no notice of his property interest until a few days ago. when letters be- gan to pour in asking him to price his property. Since investig ating, it mas been ascertained that the section to which the seminary holds the deeds is located right in the oil field and the land is estimated to be worth all the way from $50, 900 to $250,C GOO. As yet no price has been fixed, but an agent will be sent to Beaumont when a sale will possibly be made as the college does not care to speculate and only desires the real market value. This Seminary, by the way. is the third oldest college in the world to grant diplomas to young women, having been established nearly seventy years ago, and its corps of alumnae can be found in nearly every State in the Union, while quite a num- Der have made their homes in Europe. Marion is jubllant over the apparent good luck of the Seminary. which, if it works out right, will prove the means of making this school second to none in the entire South.
 Colonel Murfee, President of the Ma rion Military Institute, left the first of the week, accompanied by MrS[ Murfee.

for Tate Spring. Colonel Murfee has
 been quite unwell since the recent closing exercses of his school. and his friends have been anxious about him. Colonel Murfee bears the reputation of having taught more men in the South who have rather high rank in public life than possibly any other teacher. A large number of the members of the preseA. Constitutional Convention were once students under him, and 1t has been estimated that more than three fourths of the members of the Legis- iature of 1898 were his students.
 Crops are looking well, but are small. Fruit in some sections Is rotting as a result of the recent wet weather.
 Taken altogether, crops in this sec tion are fair, but there is much com plaint from some parts as to bad stands of cotton.

SAFE BLOWN OPEN.
The Thief Had Only His Trouble for
 His Pains.

Uniontown, June 10.-(Special. )-Last night some one blew open the safe in the express office here with dynamite. The work was evidently done by an exper.. The door to the express office had been forced open. The catch was broken and the. screws on the lock were bent to one side so that the door was easily opened.
 The knob of the safe had been brok- en or taken off, and the stick of dyna- mite was inserted in the hole thus made. The force of the explosion wrecked the door, and scattered frag- ments of it all over the office In the safe were several money orders. but these were not touched.. One package Is missing, but may have been deliv- cred. The thief also forced the door where heavy articles of express were kept, but, it seems, took nothing from there, as they were oihy such articles as could be identified.
 He found no money. as that not kept in the safe. No clue was left, as noth- ing was found except a piece of fuse and ten minute fuse cap.
