Tho fact nro these; the Blnemont Central College Association commenced suit nearly two years ago for tho recovery of tho old Collego property, consisting of 100 acros of land and tho buildings thereon, on tho ground that it was not used for collego purposes. This suit has been dragging through the courts until last week, whou Judge Martin, after a patient hearing of the case, decided that tho property was used for the purposes of an agricultural collego, and that consequently tho claim of tho Agricultural Collego to tho property was not vitiated. To show that tho case wus ably managed on both sides, wo need only to say that Judge Humphrey, of Junction City, was for the plaintiff, and Hon. A.

L. Reddeu, of ElDorudo, and Messrs. Green Hessln, of Manhattan, for tho Agricultural Collego. All agreo, wo think, that this decision ends tho contest. Wo aro confident that tho Champion will do us justice In this matter.

BOARD MEETINGS. A special meeting of tho Board of Regents was called to order on tho evening of Wednesday, March 28, and completed an Inventory of securities In tho hands of the Land Agent. On Thursday, tho Board, in company with tho Treasurer and Land Agent, went to Topeka to place In tho hands of the State Treasurer the Endowment Fund of the College. The whole amount thus transferred is for which triplicate receipts were given, describing In detail all tho securities. Of these, one copy is filed with the Auditor of State, ono Is retained by tho officers making tho transfer, and ono Is filed in the College vault.

Tho Hoard of Regent adjourned on Tuesday morning after a bny and harmonious notion. Of course, it pleaed us all to hear those gentlemen express tho pleasure they felt in finding tho College In tho superb condition in which it now is.

Tho recent change in tho officers of tho Board of Regents makes it necessary to further state that hereafter all payments on bonds and Interest on bonds must bo made at the State Treasurer's office at Topeka, and all accounts against the Col-lego will be paid in Manhattan, at tho office of tho Treasurer of the Board, Mr. J. T. Ellicott. Tho commiteo appointed by tho Board of Regents to audit tho accounts of the lato Tresurer, Mr.

E. B. Purcell, met this morning in Manhattan. This commitee, consisting of Regents Coburn, Ellicott and President Fairchild, have turned over to Regent Ellicott, Treasurer, $9,927.84 0f Collego funds, and report tho accounts, vouchers, etc. in the hands of the lato Treasurer correct to a cent.

in compliance with a law enacted Dy tno recent Legislature, tho former Treasurer, Mr. E. B. Purcell, and the Land Agent, L. It.

Elliott, transferred last week to tho State Treasurer tho funds and securities belonging to tho Endowment Fuud, amounting to nearly $400,000. and notwithstanding the long period of tho services of these gentlemen and tho many details of their intricate duties performedWith little or no adequate compensation, their affairs wero found in tho most perfect order, and their final statements of a character to reflect tho highest credit upon these long-time public servants. The institution is in a most prosperous condition, which Is due in a large degree to tho judicious supervision given it by tho Board of Regents just retired. Of it, Hon. S.

M. Wood, of Chase county, has been a member six years, and most of that time its President; and In him, as well as A. J. Hoisington, tho retiring Vice-President, the College loses a patriotic and conscientious official. Tho new Board is a conservative body, made up, wo believe, of those who have tho highest interests of tho institution and State at heart, and will do no act of consequence before giving it in all its bearings tho most careful consideration.

And now they have elected Geo. W. Martin mayor of Junction City, instead of making au awful example of him for his "bolting" and "kicking" of last fall. Somehow tho weather continues to bo soft, balmy and May-like, and the breezes full of tho odor of violets to the citizen of independent proclivities; but then, whatever George says down In that benighted region the average Junction Cityito is ready to swear to. A queer lot, trulyl We notice a very considerable difference in the time of starting of tho several kinds of grasses and clovers cultivated upon tho Collego farm.

Alfalfa at this date shows tho largest and most vigorous growth, with meadow oat-grass a good second, if second at all. Tho latter at this writing shows blades six and seven inches long, and plenty of thorn. Blue-grass follows tho oat-grass, with orchard-grass or red clover in tho third or fourth place In two weeks alfalfa will show tho strongest growth, witli oat-grass and orchard-grass about equal and a strong second to alfalfa. The Wichita Etujle, referred to in another place, is badly astray in its reference to this College, under the head of "Kansas State Institutions." Instead of "two hundred" students, Mr. Earle, wo ing been fully examined by the committee on finances, was approved and accepted by the Board, and an order was given for transfer of funds, books, from tho former Treasurer.
