TRUSTEES

WILLIAM I. BUCHANAN, Our Minister to Panama, Who is About to Return Home. With the election of officers the annual meeting adjourned. Walter Hunt, of Hamilton county, said at the mee'ting yesterday morning that the editor of a newspaper in Hamilton county had accepted a 'graft" of $2S5, and that he was prepared to prove the charge. This charge was made as the result of an attack made hy the trustees upon the law passed by the last legislature requiring township trustees to iniblisk itemized reports annually in the newspapers of the two leading political parties. Some of the trustees publish full reports, while others do not. The trustees roundly scored the last legislature and the newspapers. Hunt declined to give the name of the editor he accused of grafting, saying he desired peace, but had nothing to retract. IFBIE1LY HOBOS LIEUTENANT CAMPBELL FLAKE DEAD AND OTHERS BADLY WOUNDED.

Agriculture is literally "the rage" at Missouri University. Since last September this department has advanced with such strides that it has surpasses all other studies in popualriay. Members of the faculty are enrolling them selves as students in order to enter the poultry department. Students calling themeslves "Short Horns" have inaugifrafetr'1fseries" of social entertainments to be given during the year to be known as "agricultural parties." This week a party of girls from the St. Louis "swell set" arrived here to enter the dairy department, last week the students adopted an agricultural yell, and yesterday at a mass meeting preparations were completed for an agricultural journal to be conducted solely by students and an editorial staff was elected. During the last three months letters have been received from Egypt, Turkey, Scotland, Canada, Mexico, South America and other foreign points from prospective students notifying the university authorities of their intention to enter the agricultural department next year. A whole colony of students are coming from Egypt. The party Avill be accompanied by two Turkisk students, who will also enter the agricultural department. The popularity of the Missouri college in Egypt is largely due to the efforts of Cobra Salem, an Egyptian student from Alexandria, who recently entered here. He has been sending circulars broadcast through Egypt advising his countrymen to come to Missouri University. Their ultimate object will be to introduce American methods of scientific husbandry in their native land. An unexpected result of the agricultural rage is its development into a soeird factor. An "agricultural party" given by the students last week was an innovation. It was given by the old students known as "Short Horns" to the new students, who have just entered the winter course. The "Short Horns" assisted by the rirls of the dairy department received the guests in the state Hor ticultural Building. A social innovation was introduced during the evening in the form of a magic lantern lecture by a government agricultural official, C. T. Hartley, of the bureau of plant industry, who came all the way from Washington for the purpose. The lecture was on "Corn Breeding," the speaker detailing the most improved methods of the plant breeding process. Refreshments were served during the evening by the dairy girls, assisted by the "horticultural co-eds. " All the crowd in the agricultural deportment call themselves "girl fanners." They make up about 25 per cent of the student body and rival the "Short Horns" in agricultural spirit. A majority prefer dairying, and this department has the largest enrollment
