deeply interested in the education of
young ministers. In fact before the
Institute was created he proposed to
the Convention to instruct young min
isters at his home in New Bern.
Armstrong spent the summer and
fall of 1884 in visiting the associations
and raising money to equip the school
which had no other buildings than
those on the plantation. In few
months he received $4,000 in sub
sCrictions.
Year 1885 found him at the institute
to begin his work in Ancient Ian
guages He spent three years in this
department. bat felt the need for bet

1897 he determined to v.sit Europe

two years provided they did not call
him back sooner.

He took an active part in founding the
institute. He was on the Board OF
Trustees. The Baptist felt elated when
he left the Episcopal church and
joined the Baptist. So anxious were
they to place him in their institution
that at the close of the first session the
chair of Moral Philosophy was created
especially for him and he was offered
salary of 81 1000, but he did not ac-
cept. However. in 1886. when Presf-
dent Wait resigned he was elected
president of the college. He came to
the COLLEGE and found a fearful debt
impending. He was not equal to the
task and resigned. Later he said that
this was the golden opportunity of his
life and that he threw it away.
Some Old Regulations.
In these days the trustees dominated
the faculty and everything connected
with the institute. They passed many
regulations that seem rather odd to
US Here are some of them:
J. Each student over 16 TO be al
lowed cents an hour for work; each
over Il, 2 cents.
9. No students to be admitted who
will not board in the institute.
8. The students shall be required to

the Recorder and a graduate of the
University OF Pennsylvania. an editor
unsurpassed in the annals Of the
state, was elected to the chair of
Math. and Nat. Phil. Meredith did not
see fit to accept this position, but as
editor of the Biblical Recorder, nc
was the outspokCn champion of tn"

to accept necessitated the election of
another man. No professor was

TWO KILLED IN WRECK.
Accident on Santa FNe at Kinsley Fatal
to Fireman and Yardman.

A wreck between a passenger and
freight train occurred at O'Clock yes
terday morning near Lewis. a small
station about six miles the other side
of Kinsley, in which Fireman A. A.
Swartz of Newton, Kan, and a yard
man named SteegIe, going to Los An
geles, were killed. Engineer Ramsey
sustained serious injuries, which, how
ever, are not thought to be fatal. The
dead men were taken to Kinsley and
Mr.. Ramsey was brought to the COM
pany's hospital in Topeka.
Passenger train No. 8, westbound, was
in two sections and freight train No. SO
had taken siding at Lewis to let the
passenger pass The siding being too
short for the freight train, it backed
part way out on the main line to let
the other trains see-saw by. While it
was on the main line letting the first
section by the second section dashed in
to it. The engine and baggage car Of
the passenger train were wrecked and
the way car, a car of hams and a car
of eggs of the freight train were demol-
ished.
smashed into the caboose of the
freight and killed the yardman named
Steegle.
John Ramsey. engineer on the pas
senger train, is a son of ex-Chlef of
Police James Ramsey, of Topeka.
Engineer Ramsey was brought to
the Santa Fe hospital at Topeka,
reaching there Sunday afternoon. He
was unconscious when found near the
wreck, and has been conscious but a
few moments at a time since the
wreck. Last night he recognized his
father, but he was conscious but a
short time.
The wreck occurred early Sunday
morning, but it was not until last
night that Mr.. and Mrs. Ramsey were
Notified that their son was injured A
telegram was sent to Joe Ramsey,
brother of the injured engineer, who
! is in the Santa Festicket office, but as
Ramsey was not on duty Sunday it
was not delivered to him.
/ John Ramsey is married and lives
| in Newton. He was running from
Dodge City to Newton when the wreck
occurred. James Ramsey said this
morning: John must have jumped
before the wreck occurred, for he was
found forty feet from where the en-
CINE ran into the rear end of the
freight train. He was unconscious
when found and has been unconscious
since excepting for a few moments
| last night. He recognized me, but no
one else. John is a heavy man, weigh
| ing $50 pounds. He was undoubtedly
severely injured when he jumped but
had he remained on the engine he
would have been instantly killed, as
was his fireman. The doctors have not
determined the extent of his injuries"

New Orleans. Aug. 14--The second
month of the fight against yellow fever
began today with reports of new cases
at noon, indicating that the figures for
today would easily approximate those
of yesterday. There were II deaths
yesterday, a slight excess of the figures
for the preceding few days. but this
increase is to be expected owing to the
large number of cases reported for the
past five days. The disease is slowly
spreading in New Orleans despite the
magnificent work of the federal Off
GERS but the increase of new cases out
side the city is almost imperceptible
The weather in New Orleans today is
hot and threatening.
With nearly One-half of August gone
and with total deaths since July 13,

of five a day, the marine hospital ser
vice authorities today began the second
week of their fight against the yellow
fever.
In spite of all appeals that have
been made by the press and the fed
eral authorities, there is still suppress
sion of cases. One instance it that of
a daughter of well known lawyer
She is said to have had a typical case
and to have been treated only by a
nearby druggist. When discovered by
a doctor, her condition was hopeless
Yesterday she died. The CONSEQUENCE
is that steps are to be taken to compel
druggists to make prompt report of all
| cases of illness that come under their
observance.
The Southern Pacific has taken steps
to meet the charges made some time
ago that people were passing the
| border on freights. Deputy sheriffs
have been put on all such trains with
instructions to eject any one found rid
! ing on them. The federal authorities
have begun the room to room inspec-
ton of the whole city. That has al.
ready been done in the original in
fected area, but it is now being done
in every. ward and II is expected ts
turn up every concealed case of yellow
! fever that exists.

A COOLING RAIN.
One Fell in Topeka But 1t Didn't Have
Much Effect.

The weather behaved very nicely
Sunday and is doing a fairly good job
today, starting off with a gentle cooling
rain. A cool gentle wind blowing most
of the day Sunday and a sky filled with
floating clouds which obscured the sun
at least a part of the time made the
day an ideal day for the season; that
is if there is such a thing as an ideal
summer day. Numerous parties were
formed who spent the day visiting
the farms of their friends near the city
It was those who were SO fortunately
favored that the weather appealed to in
particular for in the cool shade of the
woods no more perfect day could have
been imagined.
The report for today is generally clear
over Kansas except that it is cloudy in
the extreme eastern part of the state;
it was also cloudy in the extreme west
ern portion of Missouri. Showers have
fallen in the southwestern portion of
the state and eastern Missouri with
lower temperature in the extreme east
ern Kansas and in western Missouri. A
shower amounting to 20 of an inch fell
early this morning in Topeka. The
maximum and minimum temperatures
for the "a hours ending at o'clock this
morning were: Baker Sc, 81; Concordia

ROOSEVELT GIRLS HURT
The Presidents Cousins Injured in a
Runaway-One Perhaps Fatally.

Sayville, L. L, Aug. 14.-Gladys and
Eugene Roosevelt, cousins of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, were injured in a run
away here today, Gladys probably
fatally. The girls are daughters of
John E. Roosevelt, an uncle of the
president, Gladys being 6 years old
and Eugene Is. Both are accustomed
to handle spirited horses but during
their daily drive today their horse,
drawing a high cart, ran away and
dashed the vehicle against a tree.
Gladys, who drove the horse, was
thrown against the tree head first and
was picked up unconscious. Physi-
clans who worked over her for half an
hour were unable to revive her. and
believed her skull was fractured.
