COLUMBIA A DIFFERENT TOWN.

A little country town inhabited by
a fine class of people is what Colum.
bia was not many decades ago. The
University had not begun its recent
growth that has developed it into one
of the greatest educational fnstitu-
tions in the Middle West. Farming
and small merchandising were the
only occupations. Railroad communi-
cation was difficult and there were no
factories or great industries to make"
the town.
But the people were capable, broad
minded and honest The rich farm
lands Of Boone county produced for
tunes each year. There was a germ
OF life in the communicative little
University-that was to grow and
blossom into a great school.
The little fame Of opportunity was
persistently famed into a blaze of
success. Population began to ill.,
crease. New industries availed them
selves of the marvellous new field, and
a larger number of students caused
business to thrive, and new stores
and homes to spring up. The muddy
streets were changed to brick-pavef
highways-some of them-and where

BACK TO OLD MISSOURI,

Frank James, now of Oklahoma, is
going to have a sale. Every thing
must be sold. Farm, horses, mules,
cattle, pigs, chickens and even the
corn in the shock. The sale will take
place rain or shine. TO make sure
OF crowd the women of the Chris
tian Church will provide a lunch.
Frank James can stand it no longer.
He is homesick and wants to get back
to old Missouri, the state where he
was born and grew to manhood, where
he used to visit banks at night and
occasionally interfer with the sched-
ule Of an express train. Frank is now
law abiding citizen. He has be.
come an old man and wants to come
home and spend his remaining years.
Frank. is just like other men and
women who have been born and raised
in Missouri. There is something
about the old state that makes one
love 1t and want to come back again.
1t may be the fields and the pastures,
the comfortable homes and the pros
porous towns; it may be the spirit of
the people. 1t is nevertheless true
that Frank James is not the only one
to get homesick for Missouri. 1t is
to be hoped things sell we'll at Franks
sale and that he will return to Mis-
souri, and spend many happy and con-
tented years.

To show their disapproval of the ap-
pointment of certain men as officers
of the day, students have been firing
explosives TN the cadets barracks. As
a result two were expelled.
A combination of the third class
men protested against the dismissals
and declared that every man of the
combination would leave the school if
the cadets were not re-instated. The
cadets were not re-instated, and the
third class men mutinied. After sew
eral meetings they decided to stand
together. and several of the men left
for their homes. The dismissal of all
the men followed.
The expelled students represented
twenty-five states, and many of them
were from prominent families. A
strong effort was made to have the
authorities allow the students to re-
turn. Appeal was made to the Cover
nor of Virginia, but he declined to
take hand in the matter. 1t was
finally agreed to let the men return

Tho Senior Memorial Fund.

Editor The Missourian: The senior
class of the University can do moth
ing better in the way of memorials
than leave $500 or more for a loan
to needy students. The precedent has
been established by other graduating
classes. This years class should
make a record.
The money raised by the classes is
held in trust by a committee from the
faculty. Needy students apply for a
loan upon recommendation of Uni
versity professor. Five per cent in
terest is charged for two years. The
money is granted only to upperclass-
men.
As the students are graduated from
the University, the loan is paid back
with interest, and the fund increases.
In years to come, thousands of dol
lars will be held in trust for the use of
self-supporting students. B.

Editor The Missourian: While
changes are being made in University
grounds and walks it is to be hoped
that the south side of the grounds viii
not be forgotten. There are no ce-
ment walks entering the grounds on
this side. nor in fact are there any
real walks. There is a cinder drive
that serves as a walk to the students
on one side and on the other there is
a path.
In wet weather these are mud-holes
pure and simple. Students coming
from the south have to wade through
mud and water on rainy days or else
go out of their way. A cement walk
would not cost much and it would be
a great blessing. Please. cant we
have it. and if 1t isn't too much trou-

Palos Park, IL, June 5.-One of
John Browns .ansas spies is living

ship, Cook County. The name of this
man is John Irvine. He is now hale
and hearty at rs years of age and
tells some of the doings OF the Free
Sellers and pro-slavers away back
ffty.fye years ago as if they were
events of yesterday.
Irvine was one Of the young men
to answer the call when the hero OF
Osawatomie spoke to a crowd of Free

good at shooting with rifles, step out. "

two were known as the pony scouts
John Irvine at that time was barely
20 years Old. He was the son OF a
contractor ar Sandusky, Ohio, and at
the very start of the movement OF
the Free Soil edherents to populate
the new territory with people who
would vote it free state he Joined
what was known as the Ohio party, a
body Of about seventy-five determined
men to represent the Buckeye State
just as other companies had left 9th
er states, many of them from the Far
East( to fight against slavery on the
prairies Of Kansas.
The Ohio party in April, 1856, went
by rail to Louisville, and thence to
Adams. There they reshipped, taKins
