New Rules.

The general custom Of banks in regard
to paying out money on time certificates
before maturity has been condemned by
the state banking board and hereafter
the practice will not be sanctioned. The
board has passed this resolution by a IN
animous vote.
WHEREAS, Certificates Of deposit de-
pend upon the terms contained therein
as to the time when due, the amount Of
interest they draw, where payable, ETC.,
and are bona fde contracts between the
depositor and the baker, and
WHEREAS, 1t is the opinion of the
board that the practice of paying time
certificate before they come due is unwise,
inexpedient and prejudicial to the best
banking principles, therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the bankers of this
state be instructed to hereafter observe
the letter Of these contracts and pay no
time certificates before the date they be-
come due.
This resolution it is believed by the
board will be further protection to banks
in the future in case of panicky times.

Township Organization.

At their last meeting the county COM
missioners, upon a petition of 81 voters,
ordered that the question of township or
ganization be submitted to the voters of
this county at the general election to be
held Nov. 9TH. If the taxpayers are de-
sirous of adding to their already heavy
burden of taxes, township organization
will certainly satisfy their longings. By
the present system, the three commits
sioners cost the county nine dollars per
day, and so far as we can see, are look
ing very closely after the interests of the
county. Under the supervisor system it
will cost the county sixty dollars for
each days session, and the experience of
those counties where it has been tried
shows that the work is not as rapidly or
as we'll done, but is generally managed
on the "you tickle me, and I'll tickle
you" plan, while the people are left to
foot the bills. We say, vote the PROPOSE
ton down, as a useless piece of extravag-
ance.-Indianola Independent.

Quite a rich tale comes floating in III
the breeze from the Worlds Fair city, EFF
fecting the pocket book of II of the
western divisions fly fireman. It ap-
pears that the fireman i'll point, in COM
pany with a boon companion, was riding
up State street in the cars. Among the
other occupants of the car were a nurn-
Der of fair but frail sisters of the windy
city, II of these particularly caught the
eye and fancy of the fireman in question.
She sported a large and lustrous dia-
mond ring, upon which the fireman
aforesaid remarked. She flashed the
diamond before his admiring gaze, rivet-
ing his attention thereto. But with the
lily fingers of her other hand she at the
same time purloined $50 from the vest
pocket of the entranced fireman. At the
next stop the boys got off the cars, and
shortly afterwards the shortage of funds
was discovered. Well, perhaps it were
lust as we'll to draw the curtain over the
stormy scene which ensued.

consists of the white of an egg beaten
