were many conferences. The committee on

Uneasy lies the head that wears
crown" has never been more fttingly
illustrated than in the case of Alfonso
XII, King of Spain. The attempted
annexation of the Caroline Islands by
Germany gave the opponents of the adj
ministration chance to make them
selves felt and they worked it TO the
utmost advantage. The possibility of
creating another republic doubtless,
influenced Germany in yielding to all of
Alsonso's demands in regard to the
Caroline dispute. King of Spain is the
eldest son of ex Queen Isabella and was
born Nov. 2S, 1857. When his mother
was driven from the throne by the revo-
luton of 1865, he accompanied her 10
Paris In 1870 his mother formally
abdicated the Spanish throne in favor of
Alfonso. On Dec 30, 1874, General
Campos proc laimed him King OF Spain,
and on Jan. II. 1879, Alfonso arrived IN
Madrid. In 1876 the yonDg king sub
dued the Csrlist movement and during
the same year bis mother returned TO
Spain. In 1878 Alfonso married Princess
Mercedes, who, however. died three
months afteIward. In 1879 he was
again married. this time 20 Maria Chris
tiaua, daughter Of Archduke Charles
Ferdinand of Austria. Two attempts
have been made on the kings life, but
both were futile. Alfonso was invested
with the order Of the Garter at Madrid

THE BILKING OF A BANK.
7 he southFramingham Savings Bank Robbed
Of Over Two Hundred thousand Dollars
A Suicide Accounted For.

Savings Bank Commissioner Curry of
Boston made an application before Justice
Charles Allen for temporary injunction
in the case of the birmingham Savings
bank. An order of notice was issued re-
turnable on October q next for the officers
of the bank to show cause why this injunc-
ton should not issue. Recent developments
show that there will probably be a deficiency
of about SOS, 900; that the examination of
the deposit books brings to light many
financial irregularities and tends to show
that the late treasurer of the bank, Coleman
S. Adams, who committed suicide i'm one of
the vaults, was defaulter, and had apprO-
priated the funds of the bank. 1t is thought
this was largely done by the influence of
others to give financial support to losing in
vestments. The misapprOpriation was
made by not giving credit in the deposit
book for the full amount deposited and in
falsifying the dividend account. 1t is
thought That by placing the bank tempor-
arily under injunction for about a year II
may be able to tide over its present financial
embarrassment. The amount due deposit
ors is about S1,jC0,O0. Commissioner Cat
chell, who has been conducting the investi-
CATION amid the greatest difficulties and has
| devoted his time and best energies to the
work, states that the s22S, 900 deficit referred
to has come from failure of Cashier
Adams to enter a part of the dividend de
clared i'm the deposit account of his ledger,
and the rest Of it consists of deposits re-
| ceived which have not been accounted fol
and also of drafts which have been entered
| as paid in excess of what has actually been
paid These leaks extend over a period
| from 1879 until recent date. The investi.
CATION is far from complete, and no fina!
| settlement can be expected for several
| weeks. The bank has been restrained TEN
porarily from doing business, and the gnes
ton ON the appointment of receivers will bt

Much praise is due County Judge E.
g. Bower and the County Commission
ers of this county for the effort they are
making to have the public roads put in
good condition. They have EMPLOYED
County Surveyor Strong to supervise
the work ON public roads, and have in
stIucted him to have the Dallas and
Fort Worth, Dallas and Grapevine, Dial.
las and Preston, Dallas and Rockwell
and Dallas and Lancaster roads put in
ss good condition as the money now on
hand tor road purposes will Justify.
The farmers and the retail merchants.
and in fact the wholesale merchants
and every other business interest of the
city and county are directly interested
In good roads, and there is no tax paid
so cheertnlly by the citizens as the road
tax, which our Commissioners Court
has wisely assessed to the extent of the
law. The city of Dallas pays nearly
one-halr OF the road tax, and she earnest
" demands OF our Commissioners,
Court That these roads, as early as nos
s1ble, be put in good condition, and If
there is not sufficient funds on hand 10
complete The work they should bor-
row IL and have them completed.
The small amount of interest
that would be incurred should not be
taken into consideration. II is a we'll
known fact that the farmers living along
the cross timbers and this side in Tar.

duce and done their trading In Dallas

The same is true of the country mort of

Inc reporter has c0nversed with great
many wealthy and influential farmers
living in TarranL County. and
with one accord they say that
they would much prefer selling their
produce and doing their trading in Dial.

merchants always pay better and
more uniform price for produce and
sell go DDS much cheaper than the Fort
Worth merchants. But practically
there are 30 passable roads 70 Dallas
while the roads to Fort Worth are in
good condition. What has been said i'm

vine roads will apply with equal force
TO the Preston and Rockwell roads.
Then let not the work on these roads

silly awarded to our Commissioners

Mrs, Windows Soothing syrup.
Rev. Sylvanus Cobb thus writes in the
Boston Christian Freeman:-We would
by no means recommend any kind Of
medicine which we did not know to be
good-particularly for infants. But OF
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup we can
speak from knowledge, In our own
family it has proved a blessing indeed
by giving an infant troubled with colo
pains quiet sleep, and the parents UNI
broken rest at night. Most parents can
appreciate these blessings. Here is an
article which works 10 perfection and
which is harmless; for the sleep which II
affords the infant is perfectly natural and
the little cherub awakes "bright as a but.
ton" And during the process of teeth
ing its value Is incalculable. We have
frequently heard mothers say that they
would not be without il from the birth o;
the child till ii had finished with tho
teething siege, on any consideration
whatever. Sold by all druggists. Q
