L< gmisport, Ind., January 8.~ A fe,v.' days ago thousands of postal cards, bearing the words “Bloody Monday,” were scittered broadcast through the mails, large numbers being uent to the cjunrry people. The words were written n nloodred ink, on an ordinary postal c.i t-and the startling appearance and imstie words were of a nrture calculated to In-^ Spire a feqttng of fear iii the minds of the' credulous. At first Che feeling was one of surprise, but as nearly ev*ry one received the cards, surprise gave way to fear, and as Monday drew near the alarm became general throughout the country. At Adamsboro, a small viUugt four miles cast ot here, the residents con gregated at the atore to discuss the matter, artd their ‘fear became so unreasonable that a large number armed themselves with all kinds of weapon* in Of.ter esfcM^prepnred to repel they knew not A delegation was sent to Logansport ;o investigate the mater, but the postcffice authorities could give them no imorm..tlcn. ’ Nobody wm able to otter a logical expDnatlon, and the delegation-returned ‘‘home with exaggerated accounts of the fear which prevailed in Logrnsport. ’the wildest theories were advanced, the generally accepted one being that some direful prophecy was to be fulfilled on the lay designated a* "Bloody Monday.” Many also thought that the country was to be invaded by an armed force, an i John Penrose, the poatmaster jt Maea, a :mill hamlet north of Logunsport/ affirmed that as there would be two full moons in January, the unprecedented event would be heralded by a divine demonstration on
“Bloody Monday."

DE FAl AV I NIVEUSiTV OUTLOOK. - The Trustee* Find (mtseoFor Much Hopeful ness For the Future. Hpectal »o Tire Indianapolis News. Greencastle. Jtui., January 8,—The board o( trustees of the DePauw University wa* In Kession In this city yesterday# and , It wa* neariy midnight when a final adjourn,ment wa* reached. The sesalon was an important one on its bearings on the financial fmereais of the Institution. Despite the stringency of the time* and the monetary straits encountered by the board, the outlook for the institution gave rise to a, general feeling of hopefulness for the future. It was stated’that the enrollment for the term is 549. which is only eighty less than that of last year. In some departments, notably the school of music, there Is an Increased attendance of pupils. If no unforeseen difficulties are encountered it Is confidently expected that the revenues of the institution will prove amply sufficient to meet its expenditures. The fact was developed, however, and emphasized as well, that a university of 'the high Character and magnitude of DePauw. to meet both the expectations of it* friends and the requirements of the age, must be sustained by the moneyed men who have its interests at heart. To this end it was proposed that Bishops Bowman and Joyce be requested to visit the leading cities of the State and present the claims of the institution to the Methodists of Indiana. The exqrutors of the DePauw will, to set at rest many unfounded rumors con- , ceming the estate and give the public a correct understanding of the university’s share of it. made a voluntary proposition to surrender their trust, and the Union Trust Company, of Indianapolis, was thereupon made the administrator of the estate. This will insure greater financial skill tp th* management and disbursement of the bequest than could be hoped for in the hand* of inexpeYienced men. •who compose the board of trustee*. No ehaitge* were made in the faculty at this meeting of th# board, and none ard anticipated. Prer i«l Gobln s administration Is both creditable and satisfactory to the trusters, who closed their labor* with a feeling of renewed encouragement and hopefulness lor the future of I>Paow University.

S. W. Dungan, of Franklin, read a pagier cn ."Business Method of Managing a Flock.” Liberal feeding and vigilant care he held to be the firs: essentials, in the discussion that followed a majority who spoke set forth the advantages of shearing sheep as early us April, instead of in Juqe. It was held that the yearly yeld will be as large from an April shearing and be moro humane to the sheep than if postponed until June. Mr. Dungan held to the opinion that It was cruel and wrong to shear sheep as early as April, unless there were full faeiitles for housing them during the rough weather. John L. Thompson held that whether a raiser had few or many sheep, to- shoul 1 be able to shelter all of
them when "necessary.

The annual addrccs of the retiring president, Calvin CowElll, of Wabash, was delivered late yesterday afternoon. He discussed the wool tariff and showed how the wool-grower of the West Is doubly injured by it. He argued that free wool benefited only the importer and the foreign producer. In conclusion he said: "In addition to all this, we have to-day before our eyes the humiliating spectacle of the only President of the United States that ever recommended, the removal of all protection to one of the greatest and most indispensable Industries pf the country. thereby surrendering a revenue of millions, hawking the bonds of the Government In the money markets of the worjd to get money to defray the ordinary expenses of the Nation, and his ambassador at London, instead of maintaining the dignity and high character of the government, it is his duty to represent, is coquetting with the British Queen and making tree-trade speeches In disparagement of his own country, even to the disgust of the English themselves. But a brighter day is dawning; the clouds that have hung like u pall over America for two years are lifting, sad experience has caused people to stop and take a second sober thought. Hereafter they will heed the lessons taught by their fathers. Wool-growers, take courage. When the
