While he was away he traded a 2,000 acre Gove county ranch for a Dakota farm of 500 acres, near Yankton. The deal involved about $60,000 and Mr. Neville came home well pleased with his work of the week.

The situation is to be deplored os it will not only hurt the trade in Eudora but it will cut off all business from Eudora to the county seat save by rail. The temporary structure washed out was put in by Contractor Cox ast after the Lawrence bridge was replaced and the Cox firm secured the contract for putting in the permanent bridge.

The latter will cost in the neighborhood of $2C00. There is little likelihood that the work on the new bridge will begin this fall, as the material is hard to get.

The commissioners and Contractor Cox, who is making the fill at the river, are jubilant over having the rock to make the entire fill ready for hauling. An immense blast of thirty five pounds of dynamite and ten kegs of powder was put in last night and with the shaking up of the earth the entire top of the hill was blown out. An immense supply of rock was exposed and there is nothing to delay the fill now except the condition of the roads. If the weather remains dry the work of filling the current will go along all fall and winter.

The friends of W. H. Prentiss, the University student who committed suicide yesterday, are not inclined to talk regarding his past history. It seems from what can be learned that the young man has been a habitual user of drugs for the last five years. When he came to Lawrence at the beginning of the week he was still under the influence of liquor.

The boys wanted to see California, of which they had read a great deal, principally in their school geography. Now it is rather a difficult job for three small boys to save up several hundred plunks to spend on a California trip, and besides their parents might object, so they decided to go anyway. Carefully throwing up their jobs of attending school in such a manner that it would not fall on the teacher too hard, they started. They had managed to make the raise of 25 cents.

Five cents of their combined capital was invested in cheese as provisions for the trip. The boys made a flying start, and it was several hours before news of their departure reached their parents. A telegram to Lake View and another to Lecompton brought the reply that the special tourist train had gone by several hours before. The Lecompton agent added the information that there was a falling off in speed, however. The boys were stopped at Spencer, just this side of Topeka and their respective fathers took the afternoon sity, and he had in his pocket between forty and fifty dollars.

This morning about 7 o'clock, as the guests were going down to breakfast a shot was heard, andlwhen they rushed into the room they found him lying on the bed, a revolver on the floor, and the room filled with smoke. He was conscious, and remained so for some time, and said that a negro had shot him. However, it was utterly impossible for any one to have committed the crime and escaped, as it was not more than a few seconds until men were in the room after the shot was fired. Prentice died about ten o'clock this morning. His mother was telegraphed for, and will probably arrive in the morning.

His father is dead. Prentice was about thirty years old and was evidently a victim of the drink or morphine habit, and probably both. He was a druggist, as shown by the papers on his person, and came here with the intention of taking a course in his profession. John Hanlon, a student of the law department, is a cousin of the dead man. He has taken charge of his effects awaiting the arrival of the mother.

Prentice was a member of the Modern Woodmen, and some of the members had been looking after him since he came to town, although he seemed to be feeling very well a of the time.
