FRANK SMITH was Chicago sales
man who loved not wisely but too well.
The fair but false creature upon whom
he had centered his affections would
not reciprocate and on Tuesday he
blew out what little brains he had
with shot gun after writing card
with these words "a womsn's de-
ceitful love caused me to do this. !"
The girl he left behind him still lives
to comment on what big fool he was,
but Christian johnson, a love-sick
swain of Lansboro, Mimi, thought to
fix his so that she could do no talking
on that or any other subject. Upon
being refused by her third time he
drew pistol and after firing what he
supposed was fatal shot at her heart,
he turned the weapon to his own and
pulled the trigger. The girl was but
slightly hurt, but he. poor fellow, fell
too dead to kick. 1t seems strange
that men will make themselves such
fools over one girl when there are so
many as good fish in the sea as were
ever caught, but they will and we
could fill this column in telling about
similar cases that have occurred within
a week.

A STATEMENT just issued shows
that IL National Banks are not the
least expensive institutions Of the kind
that could be devised, they are by far
the safest and most reliable, and until
a plan that is decided improvement
on them can be presented, we shall
most assuredly raise no especial row
with them. Only three Of the Ma
tional Banks were placed in the hands
Of receivers during the year ending
Now 1, and but 81 have been 90 plac-
ed since the commencement Of the
system. OF these 81, 81 have been
finally closed, leaving SO still in pro-
cess Of settlement. The loss to credit
ors of these banks during the nearly
twenty years that have elapsed since
the passage of the National Bank act,
as near as can be estimated, has been
about s7,00O,OO0. The average an.
nual loss has been, therefore, about
$780, 900 in the business Of corpora
tons having an average capital Of
about $3.50, 900, 900, and which have
been responsible for the safe keeping
of deposits in their hands averaging
constantly over $500, 900, 900, orabOut
one.twentieth of one per cent. OF annu-
al loss 10 depOsitors. The total amount
paid to creditors Of insolvent national
banks is 500, 945, 900 upon provided
claims amounting to 500, 5s6,55S. The
dividends so far paid thus equal about
20 per cent. of the proved claims, 80
banks having paid the claims against
them in full. Assessments amounting
to So, $50 have been made upon
of insolvent national
banks for the purpose of enforcing
their individual liability under section
5,151 ofthe Revised Statutes, (which
about 5000, 900 have been collected

well is decided success in the vicinity
mentioned, one OF which has been in use
now nearly four years without any diminu-
| ton OF water, no matter how dry the sea
son. These drive wells have proven the
| fact that large section of country, in f,ct,
as far west as Eagle Ford, Is underlaid with
a huge bed of quicksand, which is, in fact, a
reservoir of freestOne water, clear rs crystal,
and free from all foul. mater. This beng
fact, let the city buy O few acres of ground
over there, put up good, strong suction

100 feet sink pinch diameter pipes (dcrth
required, 20 To p feet), one every fifteen or
twenty feet, on the circle, and all connected
with the pump in the center OF the Circle.
In the future, as the supply needs incre2s
ing, increase the pipe area. Asa test eX-
pertinent, six or seven llnch diameter
pipes could be driven. aud . fire engine
connected, and from the quantity ofwaler
thus derived, calculations and estimates
could be made which would determine the
uracticability, or non praCtiCobi,ity OF such
q step. As above stated, water nom this
source, would be freestOne. which every
one knows is very desirable Furthermore,
with wells as above, no surface water would
be admitted, neither would rats or dogs,
etc, get drowned therein. A supply from
Turtle creek is bound to he contaminated
with surface water and limestone. AT all
events, by all means let the city own its
own water supply. The above plan is be-
lieved to be perfectly practicable, and not
only for supply Tor the city, but, the
water being pure and freestone, the above

The thread industry of the United States,
which dates from 1855, shows wonderful
growth. The consumption of thread Of the
best grades in the United States is 2l,0OC
spools per annnm. American manufac.
tories turn out daily 1900 dozen spools
containing 200 yards each, which is far
from meeting the demand, and European
manufacturers find large market here.
The manufacture OF spoo!s has become a
large industry, for besides supplying do.
nestle thread makers with spools which
consume 5000 TO 1000 cords of wood per

chase American spools, and in many cases
wind their thread here, by which they es.

thread makers, however, claim to be able
