ORME-VS. DIXON.

Harry Orme Shot In the Leg by Ed

Dixon, at the Monon Flats.

Monday afternoon there was a "wow and wumpus" in the vicinity of the Monon station in which the most prominent actors were Eci Dixon, who has a position at Crane's restaurant and Harry Orme. The clash came about over Orxne offering an insult to Dixons' wife, jjwho was formerly Florence Watson. Dixon says Orme walked boldly into his donjon keep with as much familiarity as though he owned the concern and commenced saying things to Florence which were entirely out of order under the circumstances, and he told him he had better "git." Orme didn't see it that way and a scuffle ensued in which Orme endeavored to break the head of Dixon with rocks and flower pots.

Dixon beiug a man of mettle, drew a revolver and popped away at the invader. He drew a bead on the pulmonary center of Orme but owing to the high pressure of the hour the bullet failed to go straight but struck Orme in the calf of the leg, and with a wild whoop, which would have done credit to Aguinaldo's most boisterous Fili] )ino warrior, he fled in dismay from the field. The police gobbled both of them and yanked them unceremoniously before the throne of the Mayor. Mr. Dixon will answer in the circuit court to a charge of assault and battery with intent to kill, while Mr. Orme will spend some of his leisure time nursing a sore leg, and repenting of his hasty performance .•

Alumni Banquet.

The annual alumni college banquet was held Tuesday evening. The attendance was not large but the occasion was an enjoyable one. The main factor was the celebration of the half century of Jno. L. Campbell with the college. The alumni presented him with a case containing 100 pieces of solid silver and other testimonials of regard. Two checks of $50 each from the Misses Williams, Lima, Ind., were among the testimonials.

PRESIDENT OF WABASH

COLLEGE HANDS HIS RESIGNATION TO THE TRUS

TEES ON TUESDAY.

will go to Oberlin as Professor of Old Testament Literature.

—He Will Leave Wabash Oct. 1.

The regular meetingof the Trustees of Wabash College was held on Tuesday morning in Yandes Hall. All were present except Messrs. Wood and Taylor. Soon after' the meeting was called to order, a committee composed of P. S. Kennedy, J. M. Wright, L. Bischof and Mrs. J. M. Waugh called upon the trustees and presented arguments showing why in their opinion the college should be opened to women. It was opposed by Judge Paxton, Mr. Yandes favored, and there was some discussion, but nothing definite was done. The committee on -co-ordinate education was continued, and in time something may be done, but at present it seems very far away.

The treasurer's report shows the college to be in sound financial condition. The administration of President Burroughs has always kept that point carefully in view.

President Burroughs then presented his resignation to the Trustees. There was no discussion, as the action was definite. The resignation is not in the nature of a surprise to those who were at all acquainted with the radical difference of opinion existing between the president and certain members of the faculty in legard to the policy of the institution. It is a matter to be profoundly regretted that harmony could not prevail. The place of Dr. Burroughs cannot be easily filled. His tireless energy accomplished great things, and his delightful personality won friends for the college wherever he was known. He believed emphatically in growth and progress without which no insti1 ion can remain a factor of importance in the educational world. He is abroad and liberal minded educator, and will continue to exert powerful influence in the educational world, wherever he may chance to labor. The reason for his resignation he set forth as follows "To the Trustees of Wabash Col lege.

Dear Sirs —The seventh year of our comraou administration of Wa bash College is drawing to a close. These years have been characterized by marked advance along certain lines. At their commencement a serious financial problem faced us, threatening the life of the institution. By radical changes in financial policy, stringeut internal economies along

certain lines, and the gifts of alumni and other friends, this problem has been successfully met. The college is living within its income, and its endowment has been substantially increased. No othei institution of higher learning in this section, not supported by the state, is, we have reason to feel confident, on a more secure financial basis. Another advance of these past years has been a marked change and enlargement in the course of study, Especial prominence has been given in this enlargement to conformity to modern educational ideas and t» the demands of the present time. Extensive courses in history, political economy, political science, and philosophy, including education, have been introduced. The work in English language and literature, in the modern tongues, and in pure science, particularly on its biological side, has been especially advanced. Men of broad training, high scholarship and tried eqperience have, in connection with these changes, been added to our faculty. The college stands furnished with a corps of professors of which we may well be proud. "The past few years mark educational changes, in this and surrounding states, in the rapid growth of institutions supported by the taxation of the people. This situation, as you are well aware, is fraught with pecuiar significance and peril to institutions supported by private benevolence.

That these privately endowed institutions may continue their valuable service to the public the following things are absolutely necessary, enlarged endowment, thorough adaptation to their environment, and nearty hearty internal co-operation. Traditions or practices in education which in one section and under fixed influences may tend to the strengthening of the life and the enlargement of the influence of a college, in another section and under a changing environment must bringabout weakness and arrest growth. The traditions of Wa-

bash are, as you are aware, extremely conservative. I fear welacksolidarity in the college. We live so completely in our individual departments that the tendency is tc see the interests of the college as a whole through the lens of our personal equation. The individuality which we have fostered I believe cramps college loyalty and too seriously hampers a progressive administration of college affairs. The changes in the curriculum and work of the college, which have been referred to, have not been made with ease or enthusiasm. It has been for some time my earnest hope that other and more marked changes might be made in connection with which, under wise provisions, the privileges of the college should be extended to women. This hope has not yet been realized. Reviewing carefully, therefore, the entire situation, I am led to believe that I cannot expect to secure further results along those lines which in my judgement ft is essential for the college to follow in its present environment in order that it may successfully meet existing conditions. I am constrained, therefore, to feel that my work in its administration is concluded. With the heartiest good wishes for the college in whose interest I have endeavored to labor according to the measure of my ability and according to my light during these past years and|for each member of the faculty, and with thanks to the members of the board for their co-opera

tion and support in what has been accomplished, I herewith resign my office as president, this resignation to take effect October 1st, by which time I trust another may be selected to carry on the administration. A field of labor thoroughly congenial to my tastes and similar in character to that left to take up my present work has opened itself to me and itseems clearly my privilege and duty to enter upon it. I refer to the professorship in Old Testament language and literature in Oberlin college, in which I expect to begin work in the fall. Let me ask that my decision in this matter be cordially concurred in as final. "Respectfully yours, "G. S. Burroughs."

TUCK COX DEAD.

He Falls Under a Stroke Of Apoplexy Last Monday Morning. W. M. Cox, a well-known citizen of Crawfordsville, fell in an apoplectic fit about 10 o'clock Monday morning on Market street. He was carried to his rooms over the Maud S. saloon and Dr. Cowan summoned. It was annouueed that the stroke was a faiftl one, and so it proved to be, as he only lived an hour, never regaining consciousness.

Tuck Cox was bornlin 1853, at Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, and came to this city about 1870, five years later he was married to Flora Cochran, who with one son, Howard, survives him. Tha deceased was on the police force of this city for several years, and was a very efficient officer. Later he was engaged in the saloon business both in this city and LaFayette* He was an active Republican politician, and his work was effective. The funeral occurred Wednesday conducted by Rev. H. L. Nave.

Senior Class Day.

The Senior class performance on Monday evening was largely attended and the young men made a neat sum of money. The evening was warm and the perfomance was short, the class believing evidently that "brevity was the soul of wit". The programs were highly scented by a local druggest with perfume which transported one away from the scenes on the stage to the famed Araby the blest and he dreamed of Lotus eaters and ths splash of scented water. The display of toilets was fine, while the hoary headed jokes in vogue since the days of early schools of philosophy were conspicuously absent, having possibly followed that other celebrated joke, Mark Hanna to the German springs, with an attack of gout. Those which did venture to crawl before the footlights were of the British type as affected by Punch, and will no doubt be remarkably laughable to those who live in the year 2,999, wien the development of the human mind shall reach it's climax. All in all, weather, toilets, pretty girls, feather fans, brevity, and perfume the class day performance was a warm number' indeed. It will not be repeated.

Caught.

Two more victims of the horsestealing craze were captured by the police here Thursday morning. Marshal Brothers received a telephone message about 8 o'clock, from Hillsboro, that a horse belonging to a Mr. Chatt had been stolen Wednesday night o^t of a pasture near Hillsboro, anct that they were headed for

Crawfordsville. Mr. Brothers happened to stef) to the window of the Mayor's office, and saw Jeff Hamilton making a horse trade over by the corner of Market and Green. He went over and found that Mr. Hamilton had bought the stolen horse. He immediately started out after the thieves and caught them without any assistance and locked the pair in jail. They gave their names as F. L. Majors, of Danville, 111., and Floyd Durham, of Terre Haute. They were taken back to Hillsboro on the noou train Thursday. Let this be another lesson added to the already long list.

(Jot Her Fifty.

A Washington Court House Ohio special says, that E. Drexel Castleton has paid into court the fifty dollars alimony which was awarded his wife, nee Oakie Hanna. He also asks the court to hurry up the trial of the divorce case. He has stood it as' long as his constitution will bear up under the strain. He accuses Oakie of drunkiness and declares that she married him for his money, and she in her answer claims that he deceived her into believing he had money,when his entire property consisted of dogs and fighting cocks, and that he at one time got a revolver and threatened to kill her. The case promises to be quite sensational.

The horse show to-day promises to be the biggest ever held in this section.
