Thecontmt^s for the new outfit will be awarded about September 1st, and it is expected to have the new plant in working order by December.

The pastors of the several churches have been unusually constant In their attendance to pulpit duties during the present warm season and few of the churches have been closed over Sunday at any time during the last two months. Now, however, several are away on short vacations. Rev. Brandt, of the Christian church, Is at Bethany Park, spending ten days Rev. Kirtley, of the Baptist, is in tho northern part of the state Rev. Tabor, of the Univorsalist, is in the Ozark Mountains, Arkansas, for the benefit of his health Rev. Crum, of the Congregational, is in New York enjoying a six wejeks's vacation, and^Rev. Pierce, of the Presbyterian, is also away spending two weeks. The Rev. Kirtly was in attendance at the dedication of the new bethel of the Baptist state assembly at Laporte, Tuesday, and was one of the speakers.

One of the directors of the Polytechnic said a few days ago that as yet no successor tto lix. Mennenhall as president of the institute has been found, and as the selection is to be very carefully made it is probable th&ta man will not be found for some months. The selection has been left largely to Dr. Mendenhall and he will have this iu mind while in attendence at the.Torohto meeting of the American society for the advancement of science. Until a president is found he will make occasional visits to see that the work is going on without interuption of any kind. The prospects for a large attendence during the coming year are very good. Already the applications for admission to the new class are nearly up to the limit (sixty),-and the class will represent a wide territory.
