Of the institute they have been running but

acknowledge that this is not sufficient
length Of time. The schools are closing now
just at time when the smaller children in
the district can attend more regularly, and
receive the greatest advantage. This is the
result of our miserable so-called school sys-
TEN. The Schools should not be closed be-
fore the first of May under any eircumstan-
ces. Some say the children will not ate nd;
they are put in the field to work. So much
greater is the need to educate the few who
will attend, even though it is only three or
four. There are many districts in which the
clerk has several hundred dollars in his
pocket, of which he has the use. and his
father, and his brothers. and his uncles, and
aunts, agree to close the schools for his ben

To Assist Nature

In restoring diseased or wasted tissue is
all that any medicine can do. In pull
monary affections, such as Colds, BrOn-
chitis, and Consumption, the mucous
membrane first becomes inhamed, then
accumulatiOns form in the air-cells of
the lungs, followed by tubercles, and,
finally, destruction of the tissue. 1t is
plain, therefore, that. until the hacking
cough is relieved, the bronchial tubes
can have no opportunity to heal.

The Republican meeting in Dorsey
Hall last Tuesday evening was clear
case of 'fretze out" and the speaker,
VIM. P. Corsa, was compelled to leave
his address unfinished because Of the
low temperature of the hall. Scores
Of tue audience were compelled to leave
Tor this reason, who were anxious to
hear Mr.. Corsa's discourse. If the
committee who had the matter in
charge had have exercised good judg-
ment, they would have. early moYed
that the meeting be adjourned until
another evening, when sufficient coal
could be purchased to warm the room,
and at the same time paid some re-
spect to tue speaker who had con-
sented to speak for them. The treat
ment Of Mr.. Gorsa under the circum-
stances was decidedly shabby. To ask
Il gentlemen TO make a speech that
requires hours of study, and then not
only fail to have the hall warmed, but
to fail in courtesy is inexcusable.

BANK TAXATION.
Important Decision by the Kentucky Co
nF uuouts

Important Decision by the Kentucky Court
of Appeals.
FRANKFORT KY, June 6.--The validity
OF tho Hewitt revenue bill, allowing banks
to pay seventy five cents tax to the State
in lieu of all other city and county taxes,
was affirmed this morning in the court Of
appeals in IN opinion of eighteen pages
delivered by Judge Bennett The county
of Franklin and city of Frankfort assessed
and sought to collect taxes on the bank
stock and real estate of the Branch Bank
of Kentucky, the Farmers and the Deposit
Bank of this city, and the banks sued out
an injunction against the collecting Off
cers, which tho Circuit Court
made perpetual. The case was APP
pealed and in substance the Appellate
Court holds that the city and county are
not separate, but integral parts of the
State, which in its sovereign power had
the right to contract with the banks; that
the city and county had no power to levy
a tax, excepting by authority granted by
the Legislature and which If denied them
must be held valid, and for sufficient pub
lie services. The opinion also holds that
the actual capital stock of the bank, the
certificates of stock held by individuals
and the surplus are separate pieces of
property and liable to taxation, but that in
these cases they can not because Of release
by the act of the Legislature be taxed by
the city and county 1t is believed the
cases will be carried to the Supreme Court
of the United States.

FulI.BIooded Negro Becoming White.

TOLEDO, o., June 6.-James Wilson, q
colored barber, living in Perry ysburg, was
as black as the ace of spades three years
ago. No one doubted that he was full
blooded negro. Within the three last
years, however, he has been turning white.
Light-colored spots appeared on various
parts of his body, and they have been
growing larger and whittier ever since. His
hands are as white as woman's, and his
arms, up to his elbows, are of the
same color. Fully one-third of
his face and one-haf of his
neck are also white, and the spots arc
constantly growing. Wilson is about fif-
ty-tive years old, and has wife and fam
lily. One of his children, boy, is as black
as his father was before the transformn-
tion began. He is in splendid health.
Wilson says that he has suffered no serious
illness since the spots began to make their
appearance. These cases are rare, al
though three or four have occurred in tho
United States.

Severe on Secret Societies.

MADISON, WIS, June S.-The Triennial
General Conference of the German Luther
an Church was concluded last night after a
session of eight days. The most important
legislation enacted relates to the positionof
the church on secret organizations. Reso-
lutions declaring strongly against such or
ganizations were adopted, and provisions
made for insertion of same in the consti-
tuition of each church in the Synod. Here
after persons desiring to join the church
must first sever their connection with all
secret organizations of which they may be
members, and where present church men,
bers are also secret society members it
was directed that every measure except
accommodation be rcsorted to to induce
withdrawal from tho societies.
