he made him accompany her to the office
of the company and there make a confes
sion. Out of . consideration for the boy's
parents and the fact that It was his first
offense Miss Longo decldeJ not to have the
lad arrested, but he will not continue in
the employment of the company.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINES, Dec. 2. (Special.) The
Iowa commission on the exposition at 81.
I.ouls held the last meeting of the year
today and decided upon having either the
executive committee or a special committee
go before the legislature to confer with
members In regard to an additional impro
priation for the making of exhibits at the
St. Louis exposition. The matter of appro
priations was taken up at tha session. It
was shown that by cutting down tho ap
propriation on live stock from $9,000 to $8,000
it was impossible to get a proper live stock
exhibit for Iowa, and In regard to agricul
ture a similar mistake had been made at
the September meeting In" reducing it from
$7,000 to $0,500.' The commission proceeded
to restore these departments to their for
mer standing as to funds. At the Septem
ber meeting the department of education
had been cut $500 and the department of
manufactures the same amount, but these
were not restored. It was decided that the
legislature should be asked to provide addi
tional funds for some of these departments.
Reports were read from the different de
partments and the committees Indicated
what li:td been done. The report on the
state building shows that It is now practic
ally done, and it is paid for except about
$9,000. In regard to the department of
minerals and metallurgy Judge Carruthers
named C. B. Plutt of Van Meter to have
charge of the work and superintend the col
lection of an exhibit. Mr. Piatt will go to
work at once on, this department. A reso
lution was passed unanimously expressing
regret at the death of the late Charles
Ashton of Guthrie Center, prominent as a
member of previous exposition commissions.
Skldmore Deceives the Girl.
Another sensation at ' Drake university

his family in Ohio. Skldmore came here
during the summer and desired to enter the
college as a freshman, claiming that he had

greater part of that healthful development which la so eential to thei?
happiness when grown. When a laxative 1 needed th remedy which Is

well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little onea enjoy,
because of its pleasant flavor, it gentle action and iU beneficial effects, is
Syrup of Figs and for the same reason It la the only laxative which should
be used by fathers and mothers.
Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and
naturally without griping. Irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the
system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which result
from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against
which the children should be bo carefully guarded. If you would have them

them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs

RALEIGH, N. C, Dec. I. -The trustees of
Trinity college having voted 18 to 7 not to
accept the resignation of Prof. Rassett,
against whom a contest had been brought
because he lauded Booker T. Washington,
gave to the public today a statement of
their position in the matter, which in sub-
Btanc is as follows:
We have, had before us the offer of Dr.
John p. Bassett to reirlgn his professorship
of history and It Is made clear (o us that It
was not presented out of voluntary decision
to sever his connection with the college,
but tendered under coercive Influences from
the. outside, and because or a feeling that
his further connection with the college
might bring injury to It. Candor compels
tin in admit our reirret that Prof. Bassett
has expreased certain opinions which gave
otiense to many, ana we are giau 10 nnu
that these opinions were expressed solely
on his own authority, through a medium
which Is in no sense an organ of the col
lege, snd not at all In his capacity as a col
lege omeiai, so tnai neuner hub oonru nor
the college can be held responsible lor
them. .
r the contrary. It. clearly annear that
the faculty and the students disagree with
certain of Prof. Bassett's opinions, so far
as we can ascertain, unanimously. Neither
HA ,m with him. Nevertheless, both
faculty and students wun equal nnauimiiy
h.v manlreater their desire that this board 1
decline to accept Prof. Bassett's offer of his
reKlgnation, and for tne rouowing reasons,
which seem to us too high and vital, we do
decline to accept It.
Reason for Keeping; Teacher.
First. Any form of coercion of thougnt
and private Judgment la contrary to one of
the constitutional alms of Trinity college
which is "to cheriah a sincere spirit of
tolerance."
Second. We are particularly unwilling to
lend ouraelves to any tendency to destroy
or limit academic liberty.
Third. We believe that society In the end
finds a surer benefit than It can secure by
yielding to Its resentments. The search for
truth should be unhampered and In an at
mosphere that Is free, liberty may some
times lead to folly, yet It is better that some
should be tolerated than all should speak
and think under the deadening influence of
repression.
Fourth. The matter that has engaged our
attention is of more than local Interest,
and will be far-reaching in its result.
Fifth. Trinity college is affiliated with a
great church, whose spirit and doctrines ore
tolerant and generous, and a due ragard
for the teachings and traditions of thin
Christian society requires us to exercise our
Judgment in harmony with its siHrit and
doctrine. . . .
Viewing this matter in the light of those
wider interests, and finding that there Is no
complaint against Prof BaHH.it a moral
character, his scholarly fltnens, his energy,
his competency ar h teacher, or "Is com
mand of the confidence of his cliiHsra. we
ar sure that duty requires us to decline
the offer of his resignation
We state as a fact that Prof. Basset t d.w-s
pot believe In nor does he tench social
equality, und we have confidence in hlin as
a man and a teacher.
The statement Is signed by ,T. T. Mart
and J. H. Southgate, es a committee. Aftef
the announcement of the action of the
trustees, a large number of students
gathered on the college campus and hanged
in efliifv Editor Josephus Daniels, whose
paper, the News and Observer, had led the
fight against the doctrines Rromuigaiea oy
prof. Bassett.
