At the present eyod the establishment of a col- lege woat of the Misslasippl was protty thoroughly discassed, and the matter was finally rcforred to a committee of mem- bers from the western synod.

When the police force is reorganizad wupon such a basi we shall boin favor of its incresse to forty or fifty men, but not before. There are some good policemen now employed, but there are some that are utterly unfit for the positlon, The first thing to do is to weed out the latter, and replaca them with firat-class men.

The Wyoming Stage company, it is eaid, will change1its bage to Chadron on or about July 1, connecting with the old route at Buffalo Gap.

The republicans under ordlnary clrcum- stances can, according to the New York Times, elect a majority of the thirty-two senators, and unless they ars very much more demoralized than sppears on the eurface, they are very likely to do eo. The democrats realizo this fact, and it ls intimated that they will use extraordinary efforts to copture tho senate.

The case which Mr, Woodby has instl. tuted in court Is not so much in his own ditlon. The lesson sought to be im- pressed by the Rev.
