To Protect SchooI-teachers.

1t appears from statement of the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction that
some of the treasurers have been specializing
in the funds belonging to the teachers when
they had the teachers money in their own
hands, and asks the Legislature to pass law
requiring them to show at any time the
amount of school-funds in their hands. This
would be proper law, as it would protect the
teachers or show the rascality of the treasurers
who are guilty of such reprehensible conduct.
The treasurers in this part of the State, we
are sure, are innocent of such conduct.
Some as the Treasurer of this city-Arista
Hoge-have sometimes paid school warrants
out of their own funds when there was moth
ing on hand to the credit of the school-fund.
The suggestion of the Supt is wise and should
be adopted.

discovered by those watching him until too
late-he bled fully one gallon. He became
delirious at this instant and very weak. Drs

ing, finding him in a very weak condition and
delirious. DR.. Dunlap proceeded at once to
remove the clots of blood from the bed and to
dress the foot, and once more put it in proper
position. The doctors then administered
proper and suitable stimulants to the unfor-
tunate one, trying to keep.him alive, till he
could regain some blood. They kept HIM
alive until 4 p. m, when he became too weak
to even speak, sank rapidly and died. His
