Special to Times-Republicar..

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, Jan. THE result of the
deliberations of the faculty and presi-
dent of the University of Iowa over
the sophomores who broke up the fresh
man sociable last fall has resulted in
dismissal Of the charges against six of
the eight men who have been on the
anxious seat during vacation. Eight
men were held by the faculty for special
examination on account of evidence
submitted connecting them with the
riot. President MacI-can and the fac
|ulty of the college of liberal arts have
leach excused three of the suspected
students of failure of the evidence
students because of the failure Of the
evidence against them to warrant hold
ing them further. Those who salts
factorily explained their actions on the
night of the riot to President MacLean
were Daniel Frederick Stock of Ottum-
wa, Benjamin F. Wyland of Harlan and
John F. O'Connell of Atlantic. Those
who were excused by the faculty were
Manus Combs Burbank, Jr., OF Missouri
Valley, Horace Whiting Gregory of
Denison and Paul Jehu Kruse of Boone.
1t has developed that the evidence
possessed by the faculty concerning the
riot is fragmentary and not convincing
to the professors in charge of the In
|yestigation nor to many OF the faculty
members. law professor on hearing
the evidence detailed to him remarked
that 1t was only by aid of a presump-
ton that sophomore would do all the
mischief he could that any sentence
could be passed upon the suspects.
One of the two men still held is ac-
cused of being the man who threw the
stone which broke the plate glass. The
other is accused of buying hydrogen
sulphide. He has been identified by
local druggist as the man who pur-
chased the article of him and the fac
ulty is trying to find evidence that he
threw the drug. Both men have en-
tered denials of the charges against
them and have evidence to clear them
in the belief of the sophomores. The
Investigation will be resumed as soon
as President MacLean returns from the
east.
The weakness OF the faculty's evil
|dence has caused surprise among the
students. It had been supposed that
the case was much stronger against the
sophomores. 1t is probable that all the
suspects will be released from suspicion
and that the faculty will forbid fresh
man sociables and banquets for term
IF yearS RI come The two classes are
held to be estopped from complaining
|on account Of this action, the sopho-
mores because they broke the college
custom in breaking up the freshman So
ciable, the rule having been to allow
the sociables to be held and to concen-
trate on breaking up the banquet, and
the freshmen by inviting the sophs to
get them II they could.

of the company are John
C. yelling. w. G. Buren,. A. p. Hum
burg, Blewett Lee and Frank L. Delay
The company is to begin business on
Jan. 10.
The object of the company is to Sc
cure the right-of-way and construct a
line Of railroad between Cedar Falls
and New Hartford which they will lease
to the Illinois Central. The object of the
line is to cut out steep grade on the
present line Of the Central between
New Hartford and Cedar Falls. Under
the circumstances 1t would have been
difficult for the Illinois Central to con-
struct the road.
Work in the construction will begin
Just as soon as the weather will permit
and it is planned to complete II next
summer. The old line Of the Central
between Cedar Falls and New Hartford
will probably be vacated. It is bad
piece of track, as it passes over high
hill and has a steep grade from each
direction. A new town will probably be
established on the new road in place of
Benson. which will soon become a
deserted village"

GIVES A SON AWAY.
West Waterloo Mother Gives 1t to
Nurse for Proper Disposal.

Waterloo, Jan. dec. II, 1902, fat,
rolicking boy was born in West Water
loo. That, i'll itself, is not worth more
than passing notice, but when the cir
cumstances surrounding the same are
known, the case at once resolves itself
into an item of real interest.
Soon after the birth, one of Water
loos trained nurses snugly wrapped the
infant in warm blankets and took 1T to
the home of Rev. Wolfram, pastor of
the east side German Evangelical
church, believing he would take the
necessary steps to place it in the or
phans' home at Fort Dodge, as the mo-
ther did not wish to keep 1t.
He at once communicated with that
institution, but was apprised of the fact
that at present it was full to overflow
ing, but that in two or three weeks
room could be made for it. The only
thing left for Rev. Wolfram was to
look up some one who would take the
child temporarily. He was not long in
finding the proper persons in Mr.. and
Mrs. William Widman, of 219 Barclay
street.
Nothing more was thought of the
matter u.A Iii the time came when the
child was'to be sent away, and then it
was learned that Mr. and Mrs. Wild
man had become SO attached to it that
they would not consent to its being
taken away, hence took the proper
steps to adopt it. To say that the lit
tie lad, as he grows to manhood in this
Christian home, will be surrounded by
wholesome influences is unnecessary.
as Mr.. and Mrs. Widman are devoted
members of Rev. Wolfram's church and
stand very high in the community
To care for such little ones is surely
a task, but it will be done cheerfully,
the compensation alone being in the
thought that "inasmuch as We did it
unto one of the least of these, my
brethren. we did it unto me-"
