Hon. Ellis II. Roberts, member of

UOTAn important case, that Of the First
National Bank of Lyons, Iowa, VS.. the
Ocean National Bank of New York city,
was settled Friday, before Judge Larre-
more, by verdict for the plaintiff for $685.
POS 6S-the full amount claimed The
ground of the suit was that the Ocean Bank
had allowed itself to be robbed Of bonds
deposited for safe keeping by the plaintiff,
on invitation of the defendant. The de.
Tense was that the property was guarded
with the same diligence as the defendants
own but the verdict tends to establish the
doctrine that this is not sufficient, but that
it must be proven that the care exercised
by the custodian is reasonably adequate,
whether the care for his own property be
greater or less. Considering the great
sums banks allow themselves to become
guardians of, this decision is a significant
one.

"A good many railroads at the West
have been largely aided in building by
county bonds, and good deal of eastern
money has found its way into those bonds,
allured by the promise of good rates of iu-
terest. Sometimes the interest has been
paid, and sometimes it hasn't, and in many
cases the money placed in those securities
has been more Of permanent investment
than the bond purchasers purposed The
fact that there are now pending in the
United States district court for Missouri
suits against counties in that State for over
S2,OOO,0O0 of over due interest on county
railroad bonds, is unhappiy suggestive of the
pecuniary responsibility Of the counties in
question, and as a general principle it is
very safo to look sharply into the backing
of these Western municipal and county
loans before quitting money into them.

The allopaths of New York, or rather
few oyer-zeaous representatives of that
school, are trying to get all other schools
Of medicine declared beyond the pale Of
the law in the Empire State, and their prsc.
tice forbidden as quaekery. Such Attempts
have often been made in the past, but we
had hoped the world had seen the last Of
them. As to the merits.of the rival schools
we don't assume to sit in judgment where
doctors disagree, but of one thing we are
sure, and that is that persecution is played
out. Religion with good grace has renounc.
ed the assistance of the secular arm for its
PRONUNCIATION, and it is rather unreasonable
for medicine to be 80 slow about doing the
same thing.

"A comparison Of tho newspaper press
of the country, from an carly day to the
census of the year 1870, will develop many
interesting facts. The number Of newspa-
pers published in the United States in
1925 was 5 in l775, "a in 1901, 200
in 1910, 1853; in 1896, $50; in 1928,
$50; in 1880, 1000; in 1884, POS in
1910, l,4Ol; in 1850, 1902. 1t will be
seen by the foregoing that the increase in
thirty years--from 1910 to 1S40-was
LOAF, while the increase in the last thirty
years-from 1910 to ls70--was 4,470;
the total number of publications reported
in the census of 1870 being SSH, or one
for every 6,56l Of the population.

Missouri has leased its Penitentiary
to certain parties, who pay bonus of one
thousand dollars for the privilege, and pro-
pose to run it on business basis, paying
all the expenses aud making all they can
out Of it. The one salient fact about the
transaction is that the State will save at
least one hundred thousand dollars an

A terrible accident involving fearful
loss Of life, occurred at Dixon, Illinois, on
Sunday afternoon Of last week. The rite
Of baptism was being administered to a
number Of converts to ono Of the Baptist
churches, at a point in Rock river, just be-
low Truesdell iron bridge. About two
hundred persons, including many ladies'
and a number Of children, had gathered on
the bridge to witness the ceremony. Sud
denly, without warning, the bridge gave
way and precipitated its living freight into
the stream below. The scene which ensscd
was indescribably terrible. As the strug-
Cling victims yainly ondcayorcd TO free
themselves from the ruins Of the bridge
and from each other, large crowds Of poo

many Of them SO distracted with terror as
to be unable to render any assistance +;
others, moro sclf.possesscd, Immediately
brought ropes, planks and boats, aud went
noby to work to rescue the living and Sc
cure the dead. Some Of those who were
on the bridge when it fell were 50 near the
