agricultural college, $170.4l; reform

The other day he conceived the idea
that he could make some easy money
by stealing hogs. He had no way to
get them to market. but this did not
daunt him. He set forth and at n
place stole a set Of harness. at another
a team of horses. and at still another
place appropriated a wagon. With his
stolen outfit he proceeded to the home
OF John Brown, a prominent farmer
living eleven miles southwest of Tyn-

Several years ago while working on
a farm near Tyndall, Reiddle stole
several loads of wheat and hogs be-

BIG HURRY AT WiNDUP.
Cuban Senate Ratifies the Washington
Treaty.


Havana, Jan. 13.-The senate. after
clearing legislative business and being
in readiness to adjourn until spring,
rushed through the ratification of the
s~o-called permanent treaty with the
United States yesterday. There was
no debate and the vote taken was by
a show of hands. Senior Recio, Ma
tionalist, demanded to be recorded in
the negative, while others requested to
be recorded affirmatively. The treaty
includes all the provisions Of the Plat
amendment verbatim. This was the
proposition of the Cuban government,
made because Of the desire eventually
to eliminate the amendment from the
constitution and so remove the cause
Of the constant criticism OF the MAX
ers of the constitution for accepting
such an amendment from the United
States. The standpoint Is regarded as
immaterial whether the requirements
and restrictions of the Plat amend
ment be contained in the form of a
constitution or of a treaty.

COLLEGE GATHERS IN 100000
January l Proved a Happy New Year for the Trus-
tees and Friends of Huron College.

n l proved q happy New Years
Gay for the trustees and friends Of
Huron college. for it marked the end
OF a long and strenuous effort to secure
the drst hundred thousand dollaras Of
pledges and gifts toward the endOw
ment OF the institution. A year and
half ago it was decided by the trus
tees to secure, as soon as possible, q
tund OF 5000 900 for use in the erection
OF buildings and for the endowment Of
the college. Dec. 81. 1903 was set as
the date at or before which the first
hundred thousand should be paid or
subscribed" toward this total.
Within a few months nearly $2S, 900
were pledged by friends of the college
In South Dakota. Huron naturally led

remarkably large sum Of SIT, 900. Out.

peal was quite as ready. Ministers on

votlon which would make any gift OF
unreasonable value.
During the past four years Prest-
aent Z. II. French has been spending
much OF his time in the East ia the
neld assigned to the college by the
presbyterian board of aid for colleges
and academies. In the course of his
work he met Mr.. Ralph Voorhees, of
Clinton. N. ]. Mr.. Voorhees, became In
terested in the college and about a
year ago. he assigned to the trustees
q mortgage and notes upon which with

company had already offered to give

with other smaller gifts and pledges.
brought the total up to $4,000 by
Dec. Is.
The remaining $50, 900 seemed more

changed the situation. One was from

route to hold services at Iona, a little

After driving about thirty miles he
struck the Missouri river at what is
known az the Phelps island crossing.
To reach his destination. which is on
the west side Of the river, he had to
cross the treacherous stream on the
Ice.
AS the ice on the river was in an
unsafe condition, he left his team on
the east bank and started on foot to
locate the regularly travelled track.
After following this for a time, or an
til satisfying himself that 1t afforded
safe crossing. he started back for
his team.
Instead OF keeping in the road across
the ice he unfortunately took a short
cut and had not proceeded very far
when he walked into an air hole. In
IN instant he had dropped through the
opening into the ice-cold water.
He managed to keep his head above

Eluht for the County Seat.

The county seat fight Of Charles Mix
county is now on in full blast: the
town OF Platte has had a large corps
of men In the field circulating a petit
ton asking the county commissioners
to submit the question OF moving the
county seal from Wheeler. where 1t
now is. to Platte. This puts them a few
days ahead Of Geddes, which has been
an avowed candidate ever since she
failed to carry the election three years
ago. This means a long, merry cam
paign for the voters and an expensive
pne for the two candidates. The Platte
people hope to get their petition COM
pleted and presented to the board at
the January meeting and to have the
BORDER made calling the election.
Agents of Platte have been In
and claim to be meeting with good SIC
cess. There seems to be some doubt,
under the law, as to whether more
than one town can be a candidate. as
1t provides that there shall be a ma
iority of the qualified voters of the
county upon the petition asking for the
change. also that said petition shall
state the place where it is desired to
move the same. This probably &C.
counts for the activity OF the interest
ed parties at this time, as the first
town to file It's petition would be h
regular candidate. The movement will
be watched with interest by the cit
izens Of Wagner. They are all inter
ested In having the county seat moved
up out OF the Missouri river hills to the
railroad. The only question on which
they are divided is where II shall go.
