FATE OF PARSONS COLLEGE.
Probably Will Be Settled at Meeting
of Trutees Tommorrow.

Des Moines, Nov. s.-The fate of
Parsons college will probably be set
tied at meeting of the board of trus-
tees to be held Tuesday next. After
the fire which burned the principal
college building at Fairfield it was made
known by the trustees thatthe would
consider propositions looking to re-
Tnoyal to some other place on condition
that a bonus be offered Ottumwa and
Mt. Pleasant went after the college, and
for a time there was movement to
have it moved to Des Moines. Mt.
Pleasant is prepared to make an offer
of 100000 cash and site for the col
lege worth at least $4,000. This is
owing to the generosity of one man,
who gave nearly the whole amount
of the bonus But the people of Fair
field have offered to raise an endow
ment of about $4,000 for the retention
of The college in their city. This makes
it almost certain that the college will
remain in Fairfield and be rebuilt,

THINK EeAN DEAD UNDER SNOW.
Searchers Find No Trace of Railroad
Man Lost in Mountains.

Kalispel, Mont, Nov. 10.-A big band
of searehers was out all day looking for
Superintendent Benjamin +. Egan of
the Great Northern road, who disap-
peared in the mountains while on a
hunting trip last Tuesday, but no trace
of him was found. There have been
two heavy falls of snow since Tuesday.
The ground is covered to a depth of
nearly two feet in places, and it. is now
almost sure that the body will not be
discovered until next spring, probably
as late as the middle of May, as the
snow usually disappears slowly in this
region.

and cattle are still moving in a down.
ward direction. The market was unusu-
ally late in opening today and trade
was slow at further reduction of
lo@15 cents, choice being extremely
scarce and steady. Not much was done
above $50 and a good many steers sold
below 5000.
Hogs-The market was flooded with
hogs today and of course prices broke
on the big supply. Buyers filed orders
at about 10 cents lower than last Sat
urday.
Sheep-Trade opened with fair tone
and there were some urgent orders for
both sheep and lambs. Sales We're at
STEADY prices at the start, but later de-
clined 10@15 cents, trade be coming
very sluggish and weak.

Two Clever erafters Get $500 in Sioux

Sioux City, Nov. 1o-The Sioux City
police are looking for two clever swind-
lers @who came to Sioux City and OBJ
tanned about 5000 from business men
upon the representation that they were
soliciting money for a fund which
would be used in securing for Sioux

which would continue several days. In
several instances the solicitors said
they would ike half of the amount
subscribed, so that it could be used i'm
mediately. The men carried papers
purported to be credentials from one of
the large railroad organizations, and
the merchants gave up readily.

There yet remains Ito be written
an authoritative manual on "Tele

subject has not received attention
far from It, But where shall we
find code of rules. governing the
relations of the caller and the call
ed so Just and so sensible that all
may except il as the final law on
the subject, and, so accepting, abide
by it? Mr.. Smith, busy man OF
business, summonsShis office hoy,
and says, Please get Mr.. Jones on
the wire The boy does as di-
rected. 1t happens that neither
man has attained the luxry of a
desk set. Accordingly, when Jones
is informed by his boy that Mr..
Smith wants to talk to him over
the telephone, he lays aside what
he is doing and walks to the in
strument. There he hears the ia
miliar Hold the wire a minute,
please" and waits patiently, or per
haps impatiently, until Smith is
notified that Mr.. Jones is "on the
wire and goes to the telephone in
his turn. Jones has wasted some
seconds or minutes perhaps of his
valuable time. Smith, on the other
hand, has lost no time. He could
have saved Jones the waiting by
directing his boy to call up Jones
office and ascertain if he were In.
Receiving an aflirative answer, he
could't then have stepped to the tel
ephone and called for Jones, wait
ing himself until Jones responded.
But in that case Smith would have
waited, and Smith does not care to
stand around and more than Jones
does. Little vexations, like great
problems, depend so much on the
point of view. What we need is a
system of rules that shall be equal
ly respected by smith and Jones,
whether either be the seeker or the
sought.

Crane Ledyard, whose talents and
scholarship gave promise of a
brilliant future, but he met a
tragic death by drowning in the

due the memory of so worthy a
boy as Walter Ledyard.
