drawn and the flames we're in
measure held back until the fire com
pany arrived.
There seems to be little doubt that
it was the work of an inscendiary. A
two gallon tin bucket was found at
the southeast corner of the house
which, it is thought, contained a
quantity of coal oil. The smell of oil
was distinctly recognized by the
family and neighbors. 1t is believed
that the oil was sprinkled on the side
of the house. The flames mounted
straight from the bucket, which
though empty, still strongly smelled
of oil.
Two rooms were badly damaged.
The fire company responded promptly
and quickly subdued the flames. The
house was insured, but the amount Of
insurance is not known.

To Talk Over Depot Site.

Edwin O. Gould, general superinten-
dent Missouri Pacific Railroad, spent
Wednesday night here. The commit
tee of the business mems association
consisting Of Walter B. Waddell, w
S. Carter and Isy Gratz called upon
, him at his car, and after presenting
the depot question, brought him
down town and entertained him for
an hour or two at the Elks' hall
Mr.. Gould seemed to be gratified to
know that there was some site satis-
factory to the people of Lexington
where a depot might be built that
would serve for both roads He said
he had been under the impression that
the railroad might have to maintain
two depots. He inquired carefully
about the relative distances of the
proposed site and Of the present site
from the center of population. He
also inquired as to what, if any, eugi-
neering difficulties might have to be
encountered in making union depot
within satisfactory distance Of town.
He said that he would send Engineer
Bush to survey any site or sites sug.
gested by the committee, and that as
soon as his report was received be
would come to Lexington again anc
go over the case with the committee
Mr.. Gould said that the Missour
Pacific Railway Co. was building none
but frst-class depots and that he rec
ognized the fact that Lexington il
one of the best stations of its size OIL
any of the Missouri Pacific lines. /
IS hoped and believed that a site ma,
be found not too inconveuient for th
railroad nor too distant for the people
and that credltable building may b
erected in the near future.

for Six Years, he has Decided to
Return TO the Pulpit.

The session of the Board of CuatorS
of Central Female College on Tues
day, was principally to consider the
resignation of Dr. u. NJ. Williams,
who has been at the head of that
institution since JuAe 1897. DIR.
Williams five year term expired in
1902, at which time he gave notice
that he would not accept the presi-
dency of the school under some pro-
posed changes in the terms of the
contract He was induced to con-
tinue for another year and the
board met Tuesday and urged him
to continue for another term II years
While DR.. Williams success in the
management Of the college has been
such as to encourage him to continue
in the work, his love Of former work,
that Of preaching the gospel is storm
ger.
During DR.. Williams adminiStra-

endowment fund of the college, about
$l2, 600 to the building fund, So, 900
to permanent Improvements TO the

riculum, and the highest standard Of
scholarship has been maintained
Both in physical equipment and II
scholastic standards the school will
be turned over to his successor in thl
best condition it has enjoyed durinl
it's existence.
!, The people of Lexington must deep
# ly regret the loss of Doctor and Mrs
Williams. They have devoted them
selves earnestly and successfully +
the upbuildiug of one of our most i'm
portant Institutions, and both off
cially and personally their departur
must be looked upon as a serious los
to the community.
