Interesting and popular entertainments were provided for the evening sessions and at these meetings tiie people were favored wjjh selections from the various musical | organizations of the university. The corn and fruit shows held in | connection with the course were successful from every standpoint. More t han I 35 plates of fruit were entered for the $:!00 offered in premiums. This show did much to interest the young men in horticultural work. Over 225 samples of corn were on exhibit In the corn show room. The quality of these was beyond that of previous years and showed clearly the effect which previous corn schools | and the local shows are having upon corn growers. Dean J. H.

Frank McCullough of near Koelvllle was probably fatally injured on Monday evening by being crushed under a load of hay which overturned with him. It is not known just how the incident happened, but it is supposed that the load was not properly balanced and Mr. McCollough's weight on one side caused it

to upset.

Mr. McCullough was caught under tiie wheels and frame of the hay wagon and badly crushed about the head and chest. He was picked up in an unconscious condition but Tuesday had regained conscioueness and

accident.

The Injured man is about 50 years old and is a well known farmer of the Reelsville neigboorhood. He lias many friends in tills county who will regret to learn of his unfortunate accident. SHORT CODRSE GRAND SDCCESS

The trial of Harvey Hinkle, charged with the murder of John MeClintoek last July while his victim was escorting Hinkle’s former sweetheart, will not be called till the next term, as was decided today. Hinkle will therefore remain in jail three months longer than was expected. The trial has been postponed till April, in order that the State may bring ’Witnesses from Popular Bluffs, Mo., where young Hinkle was ares ted three months ago. The defense for Hinkle will be insanity. A score of witnesses, chief among whom is his mother, will testify to Hinkle’s strange actions before the murder—

Earl Hunt will arrive this af- | ternoon from Indianapolis to fill his j place on the program. Leonard Nabtkemper of the academy whose ability as a reader is considered remarkable, will appear and Jay Carpenter, one of the best cornetists in school will also be heard. Paul P.
