AT about O'Clock on Sunday morn
ing, at the residence of Philip Ault, in
East Richland, where he had been called
to see patient, Dr. John Alexander was
stricken with paralysis. DR. Hewetson
was summoned and rendered what medi-
cal aid was possible. DR.. Alexander was
brought home sitting in chair, as he
stontly refused to lie down. As soon as
practicable conference of physicians
was held, and it was found that he had
suffered partial paralysis of the right
side, e,and did not seem to be conscious. No
Immediately alarming symptoms were
apparent, nor are there at this writing
The doctor has taken some nourishment,
and appears to be in no pain, but it
seems to be impossible to communicate
with him by speech or writing. Though
advanced in years his remarkable yitali-
ty may withstand this attack 1t is the
hope of the entire community that this
shall be the case, and that life already |
more useful and prolonged than the av-
erage, may be still further heightened

an excellent entertainment at the Court

were all good, and showed careful and

more value to pupils in practical affairs
than an easy manner before a public
audience, and this they are sure to ac-
quire by such exercises as those of Fri
day night. A large number of spectators
were present and were well pleased.

The Keystone Bank.


WASHINGTON. June 25.-The Keystone
bank affair is likely to lead to a radical
change in the policy OF, the comptroller of the
currencys office The cool manner in which
this matter has been disposed of in written
statements gives no idea of the anxiety
which is suffered by the officials upon whom
the responsibility rests. There is con-
slant dread, which is shared by the presi-
dent, that some still more terrible disclo-
sure will yet be made, and fear that if all
there is to know is not learned at this time,
congress will take up the matter and in no
merclful spirit draw out every detail of the
transaction and fix part of the blame upon
the administration. 1t is probable the
comptroller of the currency will anticipate
congress by calling attention to the lack of
facilities in his Office for establishing and
maintaining such supervision over the
banks as to guard against banks breaking
and he will ask to have the law changed so
as to increase the force of examiners and to
define more distinctly their duties and re-
sponsibilities or to fix the responsibility of
directors of national banks so that they will
be held for losses incurred through misrep-
reservations made to examiners. 1t is
claimed by the department to be impossible
for examiners with their present force to
inquire into the character of the paper
which banks are carrying and that they are
obliged generally, to take the word of di-
rectors that it is good.

ingly.
George c. Christian of Eureka Springs,
Ark, on behalf of the city council of that
place, a citizens meeting and the governor
of Arkansas. invited the association to
meet next year in his city, whose adSan-
tages lie pictured humorously.
Miss Stout placed Brownwood in NOM
nation.

Professor Dumble, state geologist, dellv-
cred a thoughtful address on geology in the

the scriptures.
Mrs. Pennybacker of Tyler, read well
prepared paper on how the school should
shape the general reading OF the pupil.

Professor j. T. Hand of Dallas read a
valuable paper on what should Texas nor

the Arkansas teachers association, in ses-
sion at Mount Nebo, bearing greeting, and
announcing the creed formulated by Gov

Professor Bickler of Galveston offered
resolution reciting the failure of a wise and
economical legislation to make an appro-
priation for the travelling expenses of the
state superintendent when visiting the
schools, and appropriating $500 from the
association funds to enable that officer to do
his duty. There was some discussion,
which showed that the teachers favored
the resolution as one that would make the
state ashamed of its legislature.
The resolution was referred, for forms
sake, to the committee on resolutions.
Mr.. Bickler offered another resolution
asking the board of regents of the univer-
sity to establish in that institution a chair
of pedagogy. The reason recited for this
resolution, which also went to the COM
mittee on resolutions, was the failure of
the legislature to provide for another nor
NAL college.

WASHINGTON. June 25.-It is not likely
that the public will be mystitied for the
present by any more double-barreled official
statements of the condition of the treasury
great deal of confusion seems to have
been caused in the press and elsewhere by
discrepancies between the balance put forth
by the United States treasurer and that put
forth from the warrant division OF the Sec
retary's Office. In many quarters the idea
has been entertained that there were two
systems of bookkeeping employed in the
two offices. This is not true. The fact is
that owing to the amount of red tape and
routine involved in the departments way of
doing business the treasurer's Office was
never in receipt of all the figures which
were in the possession of the warrant
division, where everything comes first.
There is difference between the two Of
fees amounting to from three days to a
week, according to the character of the
data. In the recent period of
stringency there were some 5000, 600
of pension warrants, which it was
thought best to send out as promptly
as possible. They were therefore trans
ferred from the warrant division to the
treasurer's Office as soon as prepared in
stead of going through the usual forms and
comments. Meanwhile, however, the re-
ceipts were not brought up to date and the
treasurer's statement which was taken
from his books simply made a very bad
showing. 1t frightened the secretary and
his immediate advisers on account of its
probable effect on the pubic mind, SO they
made haste to rush out transfers from the
warrant division showing small balance
to the credit of the government by compari-
son of the figures on both sides of the led
ger, brought down to that very date. Owing
to the cloSeneSs of the margin, 1t is proba-
BILE if the figures of the warrant division
had been printed day by day, they would
have shown at one time a deficit, or ut
least a clean treasury. But the treasurer
has been the officer to whom the work of
publishing the daily balances has been in
trusted for years, and hence his figures
were still quoted until by an unfortunate
conjunction of circumstances they showed
too much. Then the warrant division bal
ance was hurried to the front to counterfeit
the influence. The treasurer's Office having
got upon its feet again will now be allowed
once more to monopolize the business Of
issuing daily statements

to it The suit was not continued
or postponed for the reasons alleged in
Whittaker,s letter to Judge Gerald. 1t was
postponed from time to time, as I have
stated, and then the case was finally dis
missed.

This closed the direct examination, when
Finley was taken in hand and rigidly cross
examined by Judge Alexander, but the wit
ness in the main reiterated the testimony
given in the direct examination.
At the conclusion of Finley's examine
ton Judge McCord was sworn and was on
the stand making his statement when the
committee adjourned.
