But there are some things that havecome off on time and others that will be right on time. For istance the Cumberland Presbyterian people are to have a nice new ad- dition to their church on Pine street, the M. E. Church peo- ple will build a $7,000 church on Ohio street and a $20,000 electric light plant will also be on time, as well as our 900 court Fred Funston “Aggie” was a little late and got caught.

Professor Arrives on Scene Just as Five College Girls Are Stolen Being Away. | Chicago, HL, April 5 —A special to {the Chronicle trom Owensboro, Ky., at }SaYs a setesation jsays happened in | Bowling Green last Saturday night jand details of which have just been made public, held the undivided at- tention of the grand jury yesterday. The affair comprehendsan interrupt- ed elopement of five young women from Potter college, Bowling Green, | one of the most prominent seminaries for young women in the south. About midnight five young men, all members of wealthy families, drove in carriages to the college, and | | with ladders aided four young women | to leave the building by climbing | through the second-story windows. | | While assisting the fifth to reach the ground the young men madeso much jnoise that President Cabell was roused. Seizing a shotgun, the pre: ident began shooting at the young j men, who returned his fire. Two of} the young men were wounded, but the president was not hurt. The girls returned to their rooms. They are members of the best families in Kentucky, and if indictments shall be found it is probable they will have to appear as Witnesses at the trial. | A Raging, Roaring, Flood Washed down a telegraph line which Chas. C. Ellis, of Lisbon, Ia., had to repair. “Standing waist deep in icy water,” he writes, “gave mea te ble cold and cough. It grew worse daily.

Nevada, Mo., April 5.—Two men were instantly killed and their bodies torn into atoms by the explosion of a saw mill boiler near Kitterman in this county last night. The victims were Georgeand James Todd, brothers and employes at the mill. They were standing beside the boiler when the explosion occurred and their forms were hurled through the top of the engine room with the fragments of the boiler and cloud of escaping steam The mutilated trunk of George Todd was found stripped of every vestage of clothing, fifty feet from the boiler room, where it had been blown by the force of the explosion. The building in which the boiler was located was destroyed and much of the machinery of the mill damaged, entailing a heavy loss. The cause of the explosion is not known, but was probably due to a defect of the boiler that had not been previously noticed. A little boy had a narrow escape from death and a harrowing experi- ence. He was standing not ten feet away watching the men at work when the explosioncame and escaped unscathed. He was badly frightened but was not otherwise hurt. \ The noise of theexplosion and force | of the shock were heard for miles “At the end of the last campaign,” writes Champ Clark, Mis souri’s bril- liant congressman, “from overwork, nervous tension, loss of sleep and constant speaking I had about ut-| terly collapsed.
