Attorney General Garland has fur.
nished an opinion to the Secretary OF
tho Treasury to the effect that interest
bearing bonds can be accepted and
held as security for the circulation of
national banks, and the Treasury De-
partment will so hold. This will make
it necessary for the national banks
having on deposit 8 per cent. bonds al.
ready called to Immediately substitute
IN their place 4 ora LIZ per cent, or to
withdraw their circulation. The ef-

The Cincinnati Musical Standard, OF
Sept. Il, in the report of the proceedings OF
the Ohio Music Teachers Association, al
Columbus, pays the following deserved
compliments to Miss Anna Vol, of this
city:
The vocalist of the programme, Miss
Anna Vol, of Springfield, sang with ex-
quisite effect. Her voice is a fine. pure
soprano, exhibiting admirable training.
This is the young lady who carried off a
Springer gold medal at the College of
Music of Cincinnati, and subsequently
travelled with the Beethoven club. This
petite sOngbird established herself at once
as general favGrite-giving a cavatina
from ''L'Africaine. in place of the one
announced, which was rendered in the
evening programme.
Miss Volts solo was the vocal gem of the
evening, and was beautifully sung-the
effort being far in advance of that of the
afternoon. 1t requires unusual vocal ability
to compass such selection as Comes 5
'Ballata," but the little lady met with all
its requirements. You must fly over this
way again next year, Miss Vol, and warble
some more for us.

"Only Mad North Northeast"

James North, chronic insane case from
Selma, this county, was again before Pro
bate Judge Miller this morning. There is
little or no question as to his insanity, but
as TO whether or not he is violent enough to
be dangerous is the question the court was
called upon to decide. He has been in the
asylum several times, and would not be re-
ceived at that institution again. As a
tentative measure he was sent to the in
firmary.
North seems peaceable enough to every
body except neigbbor named Odom, whose
place adjoins his. North swears the Odom
property belongs to him, and that he has
been fraudulently deprived of it. Recently
he ran one of Odom's vehicles in his own
shed and mounted guard over it with an ak,
threatening to kill Odom if he made his ap-

CHEEKY CUTTING scRAPe.
Viola Scott Carves n Fellow Badly and |
Lodged In Jail.

Lodged In Jail.
A lively row occurred near the corner of
Pleasant and Cherry streets last evening
about I O'Clock, the chief participants being
the notorious pair, Sam Cheek and Viola
Scott. How the quarrel originated is not
definitely known, but by the time the crowd
gathered around Cheek and Scott they
were having a decidedly interesting time.
Suddenly the woman drew from the folds
Of her dress a wicked-lOOking, lOng-bladed
knife and began to slash Cheek with it in
t lie masculine style Cheek could stand a
fl 1T with her, but he was unable to cope
With her and her knife. He endeavOred to
retreat in good order, but she followed him
and gave him a wicked stab in the back be
tween the shoulders. That hurried him up
somewhat and be left without further cere-
mOnY.
He went to the office Of Drs Russell &
Mclaughlin, where DIR. Russell dressed his
injuries. He had cut about two inches
long and very deep in the fieshy part of the
left arm and bad stab in the back. There
were several scratch cuts on him, but they
amounted to nothing. The Scott woman
was arrested and lodged in Jail.
