STATE INSTITUTIONS AND HOME towns.

The esteemed contemporaries of the
Record, the UNION COUNTY COURIER
and Vermillion Republican, are having
some augmentation about catalogue
which the COURIER printed, while the
university (for which the catalogue
was printed) Is located at Vermillion.
THE COURIER need 60 no further than
the front end of It's defense for carry
ing of the job Of catalogue printing.
Tt says:
The Repstblican has again made
the mistake of regarding the State
University as the Vermillion Uni
versity. Vermillion printers have
no more claim on the University
printing than any other printer In
the STATE.
That's too true. The state supports
THESE institutions, yet every town with
q normal school, a school Of any kind.
2 public institution or any character,
considers 1t a private snap for private
benefit. And each town has made Ii
stick. n--Sturgis Record.
The home towns where state institu-
tions are located of course do much
more for those institutions than the
other towns OF the state, and this gives
them something Of a claim upon the
patronage and support Of their home
institution. But on the other hand
the home institution. especially If 1t be
an educational one, does much more
for that community than it does for
other sections Of the state. The local
benefits are fully reciprocated when
there is natural and proper relation.
But this relation may easily be over
done and become slavish and harm-
full weakness.

Now 1t is our friend the country Il

In the twenty-six years during which
Mr.. Hale .knew him intimately be

thousands of his letters. ran in and
out Of his house constantly, ana nev.

OF course we all win say we rejoice
to hear 1t. But in our secret souls
we don't altogether rejoice.
Why is this? Are we at bottom j
kind OF malignant animal? Is there q
nasty vein OF malice In every heart2
Or Is II that the ordinary man and
woman are chilled and stified by these
faultless ruling folk powers and
dominions, as John Milton would call
them? The dazzle and shine Of an
archangel awes us, but daub Of coal

can claim fellowship with him at last:

In Hot Water. gs&mxa
The engineers digging the wonder
ful tunnel that runs through The great
Simplon mountain to connect Swifzer-
land with Italy are experiencing great
difficulties because of the presence Of
boiling water in the mountain. The
water comes from the top Of the noun
tain, and is heated almost to the boil
ing point BY the friction and pressure
OF It's percolation through the llme-
stone beds of the mountain,
Before the tunnel had been dug very
far on the Italian side the heat be-
came SO Intense that 1t was impossible
to live in 1t. The mountain was plped
and soon $4,000 gallons OF steaming
hot water was flowing out of the south
end of the tunnel every minute or the
day and night. The immense flow
was harnessed and made to drive re-
frigerating plants and cold-air blow
ers.
Today the temperature Of the tunnel
has been reduced from height that
would have roasted 4 man ina minnie
or two, and the atmosphere now has
the pleasant warmth OF a June iay.
The hot water also drives pneumatic
drills and boring machines, SO that 1t
helps to dig the tunnel as we'll When
completed the simplon tunnel will be

NO RESPECT FOR THE DEAD.

Chicago Grand Jury Seeks to Have
Strike Pickets Indicted.
Scathing criticism of persons who
have disturbed funeral professions in
Chicago were made by the grand jury,
which reported to Judge Clifford
Thursday. The grand jury also criti-
cised irresponsible organizations"
for creating disorder and defying the
law. The report says:
I'VE find that for several months
irresponsible organizations have been
creating disorder in this county, de-
stroying property and defying the law.
We have found that ordinary subpe-
mas duces tecum make forthwith and
issued by this court, have been evaded.
1T is public report that at present
in this city houses of worship and
houses of mourning are made the
scenes of disorder by men calling
themselves union pickets and that the
bodies Of the dead are desecrated. We
believe that these conditions justify
careful examination and we respect
fully suggest that the conditions we
have recited be made special sub
ject of inquiry by the January grand
iury.'

Our Minister at Colombian
Capital Leaves His Post
SAILS ON THE OLYMPIA
Admiral Coahlan Acted as Ills Escort
Great Crowd Was Assembled at
Cartaaena, But Americans
Were Not Molested.

Admiral Coghlan's flagship, the crui-
ser Olympia, arrived at Colon Monday
afternoon from Cartegena, with A. M.
Beaupre, United States minister to Co.
lombia, and Mrs. Beaupre, on board.
Minister and Mrs. Beaupre arrived
at Cartagena from Bogota Saturday
and boarded the Olympia on her ar
rival Sunday afternoon. The Olympia
Immediately sailed for Colon. Minis
ter Beaupre will sail at once for New
York on the steamer Yucatan. The
reception of the Olympia at Cartagena
was friendly. The naval authorities
at Colon received instructions from
Washington Christmas day not to send
the cruiser Atlanta, the converted
cruiser Mayfower and the gunboat
Castine to Cartascna with the Olym-
pia, as previously projected.
The Olympia, therefore, sailed for
Cartagena along at daybreak Saturday
and arrived Off the Boca Chicha en-
trance to the big lagoon on which Car
tagena is situated early Sunday morn
ing. AS the Olympia neared the en-
trance she deserted the Colombian
cruiser Cartagena four miles distant,
making every effort to reach the en-
trance and to pass into the lagoon
ahead of the Olympia, which she sue
ceeded in doing.
Passed Colombian War Ship.
The Olympia steamed slowly to the
tortuous entrance 5Gcween two old
Spanish forts which apparently were
deserted and found that the Colombian
cruiser had taken up position a
short distance inside, but command
ing the entrance It was learned sub
seauestly that the Cartagena had
grounded there and that later she was
towed into port.
The Olympia passed the Colombian
warship and proceeded to Cartagena,
which is a mile from the entrance.
Anchoring about mile from the
town the Olympia hoisted the Colon
bian flag at her main and fired salute
of twenty-one guns. Shortly after the
Colombian battery at the edge Of the
town returned the salute. Admiral
Ccghlan then sent boat ashore to
communicate with United States Con-
sui Orr, but it was learned that Mr..
Orr had left Cartagena about a fort
night also for Baranquilla- The
British vice consul at Cartagena, who
is very sick man and is hardly ex-
pected to live, had undertaken to look
after United States interests pending
the arrival of Mr.. Orr's successor.

Martyr French Army Officer
to be Given Justice.
CASE WILL BE REOPENED
Special Court Commission Makes
Unanimous Report for Revision
of Case That Has Attracted
Worldwide Attention.

A special from Paris, France, says:
Captain Dreyfus, accused of treason
to his country, degraded, dismissed
from the French army and most bit
terly punished, will have another trial,
this time by civilian tribunal.
AS a result of the examination of al
the evidence submitted to the two
courts martial which have passed on
the question of Dreyfus' guilt, as well
as upon the petition of Dreyfus for
new trial and the additional facts
brought to light by GENERAL Andre,
minister of war, the commission Of re-
vision, representing the court of cas-
sation, reached a decision Wednesday
in favor of the revision OF the case
by the criminal branch of the court
of cessation. The court will assemble
next month, and Dreyfus will then
have full opportunity to make COM
pete exposition of the wrongs he has
suffered. The former captain, as a
result of this new trial, expects 10
obtain full and complete vindication,
followed by restoration to his rank
in the army.
Though it had been announced that
the revision commission would reach
decision Wednesday evening, there
were few persons outside the minis
try Of justice, where the sittings of
the commission were held, indicating
that the interest of Parisians in the
| case is not as keen as it has been in
the past.
Dreyfus received the news of the
| decision of the commission through
personal friends, who extended 10
him their earnest congratulations on
| his victory.
There was absolute unanimity among
