C. Flower, who jumped his bail OF

of 1904, where he was charged with
swindling investors In a mythical
mining corporation, has startled this
city by his boldness In operating q

Investors in this concern have just
started an inquiry In which 1t devel-
oped that not even the man whom he
made president Of the corporation,
knew that Dr.. Flower, alias Prof o,
o Oxford, had been fightingextradi-
tion to New York since last January,
when the New York police arrested
him here. Only his son, who Is the
secretary and treasurer OF the con-
Germ, styled the Virginia Clay and
Material company, knew that DR..
Flower was the man who had been
arrested.
When young Flower was called on
for an explanation Of where the mon.
ey paid for stocks was, he refused to
explain and then It developed that
great quantities Of stock had been
sold without keeping any record;
that there was no record Of the mon.

There will in all probability be a
university extension centre in Clin-
ton this winter. Persons who we're
interested IN the matter took IL up
wish Missouri University some time
ago. The University promised that
il thirty people could be secured who
would agree to take the course, an
instructor would be provided who
would make two trips a month to
Clinton during the winter and teach
a class In some subject the same asit
is given In the University. The re.
quisite number of persons has now
been secured, and a professor from
the University will give instruction
In some department of English lltera-
ture. The only feels IS, the same as
the mstriculstion fee charged resi-
dent students OF the University. The
work was carried on last winter 10

one who wishes is welcome to join the
class, and those who are interested
should communicate with Prin c. B.
