The agents took position as follows:

The Check Bank, so called, with a
capital Of l ZOO, 900, lately began bust
ness in London. It pays no interest
on deposits, discounts no bills, enters
into no financial speculative transac-
tions. but simply receives money on
deposit, pays checks, and places its
unused funds with leading bankers,
whose names will be published from
time to time. The novel features of
Its system OH which it relies for bust
ness are stated Is follows: Checks
will be provided in convenient books
and may be had for amounts limited
from 81 49, to Gl0 $500 each. The
charges for ten checks will be Is. "a
cents,l which includes the government
stamp. All checks must be drawn on
the firms provided by the bank. They
are crossed and payable 20 order, and
therefore, as they require Endorsement
by the person in whose favor they are
drawn, they serve as receipts. No IL $
toner can possibly overdraw his ac-
count, for no blank check will be sup
piled until the full amount for which

will be impossible, therefore, that
checks of the bank against overdrawn

ascertained beyond a doubt that both

not the kind for which the test was

The White Pie Neus of the 2S;h
instant comments upon the destruc-

recently occurred there at some
length. All the business portion Of
the city on both sides of Main street,
from Withington's building above
Hamilton street on the south, to with
In q short distance of the Smoky mill
on the north, is a heap Of ruins. The
Neus severely censures the White
Pine Water Company for their culpa-
BILE negligence In the performance Of
their contract with the city. 1t says
that the statement OF maDv per-
sons and Of the Fire Depa .ment
proved that it was fully two hours be-
fore any amount Of water could be OF
taiued, 1t having been turned of. The
conflagration burst forth at $50 aud at
$50 no water had been brought to
bear upon any point, and even the en-
CINE house was burned down. 1t adds
in conclusion "Many poor families
are turned out Of doors, and much suf-
feiing must ensae," but ''our people
are thoroughly alive to he situation

CALIFORNIA.
The reservations in California, with the excep-
tion OF the one occupied by the Mission Indians,
have been heretofore very badly managed. Round
Valley, in Mendocino county, contains 5000 acres
and Is entirely surrounded by mountains. There
are located on IL about seven hundred Indians and
It's recent direction illustrates the degree OF pros
perity that may be attained under just agents.
The Indians have been stimulated to labor and
they thrive accordingly. This year they have 100
acres planted In small grain, 1876 acres
In corn and 100 acres In vegetables.
The Indians are docile and content.
Hoopa Valley Is not at all well conducted; the land
is besides sterile and the crops usually fail II is
partly fenced in with brush. There are about two
hundred OF the Tule tribe on the Hoopa reserva-
ton. The Mission Agency, IN San Diego county, has
under Its control over five thousand OF the San
Luis. Rey, Degenes and Cohahuilla tribes. There
exists dispute to the title to their lands which
are very extensive, they claiming under Mexican
grants made before the acquisition California BY
the United States. Having been under the control
Of the early Catholic fathers these Indians are far
advanced in civilization. The Nomalacher and Pitt
River agencies are in psor condition. The total
number Of Indians In California IL about twenty
i've thousand. For the most part they are Dig
gers-avery Inferior race.

The Amelia gentleman was none other

States" and dragged her out Of the Union
The delegates from this district could not be

The CASE OF MRS. SARAH A. ALLEN
The case Of Mrs. Allen, charged with hav-
ing caused the death Of her husband, Mr.
G. W. Allen, by poison, came up before
Judge Smith on Thursday last, aud her
counsel waving call trial, she was admitted
to bail in the sum Of $4,000. The bond was
promptly given, and the lady taken to her
home. From a careful review of the evil
dence as given at the inquest, and other de
velopments, we are satsa ed Mrs. Allen is
innocent of the charge against her There
is no part of the testimony which duplicates
her in the administering Of poison, even If
it should be proven by closer analysis, that
poison was found in the stomach of the de
ceased. OF this. however. there is no GER
tainty. In fact, all the circumstances ma
terialy bearing upon the case, converge to
acquit her of the crime. Certainly there is
nothing upon which to found the allegation
Of guilt. It Was in anticipation Of such a
conclusion, from what we had heard Of the
case, that we founded our disapproval Of the
publication of the evidence as taken at the
coroner's inquest, and which in part govern
ed us in our aIlusion to the matter.
The formal trial of Mrs. Allen will take
place at the October term Of the county
court.
