Llbrarv for William Jewell.

The new $4,000 library building at
William Jewell college has been formal
ly opened. Throughout the day cheers
could be heard from the GOO students

the stocks OF books from the old quar-
ters to the new and spacious build

books were moved by the students.

brary OF the late Charles II. Spurgeon
was purchased for the school. IL was
evident when this collection, which
consisted of about 1000 volumes, was
moved to the college that new build
ing was needed. The students solved
the problem. At a mass meeting they
decided to raise $4,000 by subscrip.
ton. Andrew Carnegie, hearing Of
this, offered to give the college $780,
900 for a library building II the col
lege In turn would endow the library
with an equal sum. Besides this $780,
900 the college raised $4,000 TO build
q better building to cost $4,000.

STOESSEL FOUND GUILTY
Hero of Port Arthur UnmOved by Verdict Conforming Him for the
 Surrender of Fortress.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 20-Lieut | Gen. StoeSSel was condemned tC death this evening by military court for the surrender of Port Arthur to the Japanese.
 Gen. Fock, who commanded the Fourth East Siberian division of Port Arthur, was ordered reprimanded for a disciplinary Offense which was not connected with the surrender, and Gen. Smirnoff, acting commander of the fortress, and Maj. Gen. Reiss, chief of staff to Gen. Stoessel, were acquitted of the charges against them for lack of proof. The court recommended that the death sentence upon Lieut.. Gen. Stoessel be commuted to ten years Imprisonment in a fort ress and that he be excluded from the service.
 Gen. Vodar, president of the court, read the sentence amid a tense silence.
 By d great effort of self-control Gen. Stoessel maintained a rigid soldier like impassivity. Gen. Smirnoff, also was seemingly unmoved, but there were tears in the eyes of Gen. Reiss.
