Wrthing under the 0dium that has
been cast upon the community and
feeling deeply the criticism heaped
upon the town from all portions of
the country, the village of Shady
Bend, Kansas, made famous land
infamous) by the tarring of a young
woman school teacher by a gang of
'rufffans, is desirous of changing its
name. The gang which officiated at
the tarring party are also reaping
their reward, or at least portion of
them are. 1t now seems probable
that Miss Chamberlain, the victim,
will receive not less than $4,000 as
panacea for her injured feelings, and
the men who confessed their part
of the crime and the others who have
been found guilty will pay the money.
One or two of the young toughs
considerable wealth and
have already paid over large sums,
'n advice of attorneys, and are pre-
barring to leave the country. All of
which demonstrates that the thugs
iave paid dearly for their escapade.

COLLEGE MATTER
AGAIN IN lime LIGHT
Shenandoah Makes Another Offer to
State and Denison Committee
Goes to Des Moines.
CROW VOTES FOR SHENANDOAH
Neither Crow Nor Downey See Fit to
Notify Denison When the Propo-
sition Came Up Again.

Denison was treated to a surprise
on Saturday, when word came from
Des Moines that the senate had
passed bill accepting proposition
of the citizens Of Shenandoah to fur
nish to the state certain buildings and
grounds for use as a normal school.
Early in the session Shenandoah had
asked the state to establish normal
school at that place, offering at the
time little or no inducements in the
way of property for the location of
the school. When Denison became
aware Of the efforts in behalf of Shen-
andoah and that there existed a senti-
ment in favor of the location of a
school in the western part of the
state, a committee of leading citizens
from here visited the legislature and
proposed something worth while in
the way of property to the state if
the school should be located here.
The proposition which the commit
tee made was to turn over to the
state free of charge the beautiful
grounds and buildings OF the Denison
college, there being in the neighbor-
hood of 100000 in the value of the
property offered, and if additional
grounds were needed the same should
be forthcoming. The offer was so
munificent that the proposition of
Shenandoah seemed insignificant in
comparison. Assurances were given
the committee that the Denison offer
was worth considering and that it
would receive the attention of the
committee OF the legislature having
the matter in charge.
Our senator, Mr.. Grow, and the
member of the house from this coun-
ty rrofessed great interest in the
Denison proposition and promised our
committee OF citizens that the matter
would not escape their attention and

The district court is grinding away
on the last week of the term and will
probably adjourn on Saturday, the
18th. The will case of Margaretha
Rath was on trial when the Review
Of Mrs. Wendt to set aside the probate
came out a week ago. The evidence
of the will failed to impress the court
and after her testimony was offered
the jury was directed to return YER
dict in favor of the will.
This case was followed by that OF
the Ayres estate against Huckstep,
the action being one brought to re-
cover a balance due for rent against
Mr.. Huckstep. He contested the claim
and averred payment in full and in
addition claimed an overpayment by
Of something over S225.O0
which he sought to recover from the
estate. After trial, lasting for two
over the counter claim. the court sus-
tanned motion denying the defendant
to recover anything on his counter
claim and directed the jury to return
a verdict accordingly, which was
done. After the counter claim was
the plaintiff withdrew his
claim without prejudice, and the case
was out of court and the jury dis
charged from any further service in
the case.
On Monday the case Of the State
of Iowa against Herman Grill was
put on trial to a jury, the defendant
being charged with selling oil mis-
branded as linseed oil when il truth
it contained AZ per cent of petroleum.
The jury, after the evidence was OF
