THE PLATTEyILLE BANK.
A Full and Complete List of Its Liabilities and
Assets.


THE HERALD this week gives its
readers complete list of the liabilities
and assets of the Platteville Bank.
There has been some curiosity on the
part of The public to know who the
victims were and the amounts they
had lost Also, there are not few who
would like to be informed of the nature
and kind of liabilities the Bank relies
upon to pay its creditors one hundred
cents on dollar. This curiosity, The
HERALD is willing to satisfy, and if the
perusal of the statement given proves a
matter of news, that will be the remu-
neration sought. At this time it is not
necessary to say what per cent. the
creditors will realize from the wrecked
bank. Perhaps the reader can come as
near figuring that result as any one else:
Mr.. Jonathan Ii. Evans, the assignee
of the Bank, gave bond for the faith
full performance of his trust in the sum
of S226,0 with the following gentle

The Mexican arastra has always been
a cheap and inexpensive method of ex-
tracing placer gold from our canons,
but some power was necessary. Mules
and burros were used, and sometimes
Indian power, but now a new discovery
has been made which is being used
with great success in Mono and Inyo
counties and is run by a flow of sand
1t would be of immense value to mines
on our deserts which are not now
worked ON account of dryness, etc,
but where there is an overwhelming
superiority of sand. Sufficient water
is necessary for drinking purposes and
to properly moisten the ore. The
aratras are operated by sand, which
drives large overshot wheel. On this
wheel sand takes the place of water.
The regulator is sand, pile of Which
has been Taked up to the works. The
windmill runs belt containing great
number of buckets, and these carry
the sand up to big tank, just as ele-
vators carry wheat in q fiouring-mill.
A stream of sand being let ont upon the
overshot wheel, it revolves just as it
would under the weight of a stream Of
water, and the aratras move steadily
on at their work. When there is much
wind sand is stored up for use when
calm prevails, as the aratras are never
idle. After a sufficient quantity of
sand has once been collected there is
no trouble on that score, the same be-
ing used over and oyer. Who will try
this inexpensive but promising process
in our Southern California places dur
ing the dry season ?-Los Angeies Her

Changing the Color in Flowers.

Our knowledge ofsthe chemistry of
vegetable pigments is not vet sufficient
ly advanced, for which reason the effect
OF artificial influence upon the color
tone of flowers has not vet received its
merited attention According 20 nv
view, tannin is an important factor in
the generation of vegetable colors; it is
found in almost every plant, the petals
not excepted, and by the action of the
most varying reagents earths,
metallic salts, etc. - it assumes the
most manifold hues from pale rose to
deep black. A darker color, therefore.
is produced in flowers rich in tannin,
when MANFRED with iron-salts, since. as
everybody knows, tannin and iron-salts
dye black, and produce ink. A practi-
cal use has been made of this fact in
the raising of hortensias and dahlias.
The former, which in ordinary SO
blossomed pale-red, became sky-blue
when transplanted into soil heavily
MANFRED with iron ochre, or when oc-
casionally watered with dilute alum
solution. English gardeners succeeded
IN growing black dahias by similar
manipulations. It is we'll known to
every florist that change of location,
that is, change of light, temperature,
and soil (replanting,l occasionally pro-
duces' new colors, whence it may be
deduced that an interrupted nutrition
of the flower may, under circumstances,
effect change of color. We see no
valid reason why the well authenticated
fact of the change of color prodtieelt-
by manuring with iron oxide, thereby

CHICAGO, Feb. Scarcely crime
has been committed in the vicinity
OF Chicago that has created more talk
then the Winnetka murder, of which
Neal Mckeague is charged The man.

the crime, the ages of Mr.. and Mrs.
Wilson, their responsibility and the
veneration in which they were held by
every one who know them, the motives
which could have prompted the COM
mission of such a foul deed, the my
stery that enveloped the case for nearly
two weeks, the suspicion that sur
rounded several persons and the final
arrest of Neal McKeagse and his in
dictment and.incarceration in the county
jail. all have been the occasion of much
comment, and it is not surprising that

the people from the time of its dis
covery until the present Every good
citizen has felt an interest in the detec-

exhibit their sympathy in the case and
exert themselves in every possible way
to aid the detectives in their efforts to
unearth the villain who murdered the
venerable couple.

has been woven around Neal McKeague
seems to be SO complete as to not have

are slow to believe the crime could have
been committed by him. They have
watched him closely since the day the
bodies We're discovered, and have failed
to discover in his actions single
movement that indicated him to be the
man.
