COUNTYINOW BUILDING LONG
BRIDGE OVER COWPEN CREEK
1T WILL MAKE THE ROAD FROM
THIS CITY TO MT. PLEASANT
A VERY GOOD ONE.

The county convict gang is now en-
gagged in the work of constructing a
large bridge across Cowpen creek
about fifteen miles from the city, (which
is one of the worst places for auto
mobiles and vehicles generally in the
county.
This creek has been a great setback
to travel between Brunswick and Mt.
Pleasant and other points in that vi
cinity. During rainy weather there
is anywhere from six to eight feet of
water in the creek, which makes it
almost impossible. The new bridge
is to be span of 20 feet, with we'll
built approach of about 80 feet. The
Improvement will be welcomed by the
people in the vicinity generally.

A SUSPECT HAS REPORTED
Mission Hill Man Calls on County At.
torney and Gives Account
Of Himself.

Observation-Disclosures startling in
cident has taken place in connection
with the mysterious disappearance of
David Fahlberg, who has not been seen
by any n since the night of January 2.
N. E. Lewis, n of the parties who
has, probably unjustly, been suspected
of knowing something Of the Fahlberg
near Mission Hill and went directly
to the office of States Attorney A. S.
Bogue, of Turner county, and request
ed him to notify the authorities OF
Clay county that he was here and II
thep desired in any way to see him
he would be glad to remain here until
they came. Lewis further stated that
he knew absolutely nothing of the dis
appearance of Fahlberg and could
prove by reliable witnesses where he
had been during the last few weeks.
He declared that his first news Of the
missing man came to him through the
newspapers, and when he saw that his
name was mixed up in it he decided at
once to notify the authorities that he
could be found at any time on a farm
two miles west of Mission Hill and
that he received his mail at Yankton.
Fahlberg carried a life insurance
policy for $4,000 in the Mutual Life, Of
New York.
The Fahlbergs own a large amount
Of valuable property and David would
receive his share when the estate is
divided next year, when the youngest
son becomes of age. During the past
year $4,000 was spent in improve.
ments on the home farm.
Skeptics concerning the murder the.
Dry of Fahlberg's disappearance are
beginning to put forward the hypothe.
sis that the young man has flown to
escape marriage with Miss Emily An.
dersOn, of Beresford, which was to
have taken place on the 10th inst. The
theory is strengthened by the discov.
cry that his new o%vercoat, new suit
of clothes and new shoes are missing
from among his effects.

Cat Season is On.

BroOkings.-The cat season In the
Zoology Department Of the state col
lege is now in full swlhg. During
the course Of the winter it is expect
ed that dozens of felines will be sacri-
feed at the altar of knowledge, under
the direction of Prof. Shirley p. Mil
Ter, head of the department of zoology.
To allay the fears of the kind hearted,
the professor states that all cats are
~chloroformed and pronounced dead be-
fore the boys and girls begin dissect-
ing. Students in advanced zoology,
popularity known as the Cat course"
or 'c%atOlogy," as q rule leave the
state college upon graduation to study
medicine. All students in the course
n pharmacy are registered for this
work in zoology. The course is an ex-
cellent preparation for the study of
medicine and also for the teaching of
this branch Of science in high schools
and colleges.
Another course is being offered by
Prof. Miller, called general zoology, a
course which is given in very few
schools as it is here. 1t is made pre-
eminentiy practical, taking up the
principles Of h%eredity, etc. 1t is a
course of special Importance for stu
dents of stock breeding, stock judging,
etc. In addition to the regular class
work the department is making a spe-
cial investigation of the development
80 E~N o-I IN On fnuy Unplyc will hppin
special investigation Of the incuba-
ton Of hens eggs.
There are probably few departments
OF zoology in the west better equipped
for this work than the stace college.
The apparatus includes everything
that is needed in the way of collec-
tons Of bones and skeletons, a large
collection of microscopic specimens,
embryological specimens, and a very
up-to.date equipment in microscopes,
including over 40 LeitZ microscopes,
two investigation microscopes, etc.
Over 40 students are taking special
work in this department. The kind
of work done is beyond question. The
are accepted for their full value at
Harvard and other large universities.
II is the usual thing for graduates of
small colleges when they enter upon
advanced work in zoology at Harvard
20 repeat one or more elementary
courses in zoology, no matter what
they have taken in college. Last year
Orlando White went to Harvard with
two credits in zoology from the state
college and these were both accepted
and Mr.. White was allowed to enter
Immediately upon advanced study.
This exceptional case demonstrates
the efficiency of the work done at the
state college.
