different witnesses.
Strenuous objection was raised by
Colonel W. S. Thomson and Judge Bell,
of the board, of trustees, to compari
sons between the bills of fare of Lou

than (4.5ft, and the summer suits 32.50.
He ssld $7.60 was paid for the winter
suits by wholesale. An offer had been
made to furnish 100 all wool, custom
made suits, at 36 per suit.
Colonel Thomson as Gallant.
W. I. Clarke declared that he volun
tarily left the home, because he feared
"They would kill him out." He was
sick-and the medicine no good; the
food -abominable. He declared a rot
ten egg was furnished him,
"I went before the full board to com.
plain, anU they adjourned In two min
utea.”
He aald that he preferred charges
against Mrs. Reid January 17, 1806, but
nothing came of II. For the first time

took charge everything Is all right.
•'About like the difference between
