Chicago, Dec. s2.-The closing OF an
institution Which was considered TO be
the second strongest national bank In
Chicago. quickly followed by the failure
Of three private banking houses which
did business with IL. caused furry OF
excitement In financial circles Monday
and led TO runs on several banks by
timid depositors. A flood OF rumors
relative to other banks and business
firms added to the intense nervousness
which peryaded all classes of people
long after banking hours and the close
OF the courts. The banks which were
closed follow;
National bank of Illinois; capital.
81 ,O0O, 900; liabilities, $ll,000,000.
L. s. Dreyer q CO.. bankers, mortgage
brokers and real estate dealers; libili-
ties, $l,500.000; estimated value Of as
sets, Sl.650,0o0.

ers and mortgage brokers'; liabilities.
$4,000; estimated value Of assets.
$550,000.
Roseand savings bank, Roseland, H.;
small capital and assets estimated equal
10 liabilities.
All the private banks which closed
their doors cleared through the Nation
al bank OF Illinois and the big crash
compelled their suspension To conserve
their assets and protect creditors. The
two private city banks went into liqui-
dation through receivership proceed
ings In the courts.
The decision of the clearing house
committee 20 refuse clearing privileges
to the National bank OF Illinois and also
TO refuse funds by which the bank could
have gone into voluntary liquidation
was chiefly due to the astounding dis
covery that the bank had loaned S.. AGO.
600 TO the Calumet Electric Street Rail
road company on it's bonds as sole Sc
curity. This loan exceeded the banks
capital and surplus. Another account,
which caused the bankers TO hesitate
was stated To be near 100000. the
debtor being L. S. Dreyer a. Co. Robert
Berger. the only partner OF Mr.. Dreyer,
Is a son-in-law of George Schneider,
president of the failed national bank.
There were two other big loans which
were considered poor collateral.

ment OF railroad construction TO be pub
lished by the Railway Age this week
will show that during 1896 only l,sO2
miles OF lines were built In the United
States, the smallest mileage in any year
since 1875. The number of lines on
which this track was laid is 1863. II less

the previous year. Track was laid in
80 OF the 40 states and territories. Cali

LAG miles on IL lines, Georgia % miles
on IL lines, Pennsylvania 90 miles on Is

and Texas SO miles on eight lines. Many
railway enterprises were under way
early in the year which would have
added hundreds OF miles OF track. but
were stopped by the financial agita-

OF fully $500 miles would have been the

excitement yesterday morning by ru-
NOR Which gained currency to the effect
that young and respected lady of that
town had committed suicide. InVesti-
cation proved the report to be well
founded, and that the girl who desired
TO die was Miss Lizzie Roberts. II years
OF age. and that the method chosen had
been the strychnine route.
The facts in the case, the causes lead
ing up to the committaI of the rash act,
are briefly as follows: To begin with,
quarrel and fight with her brother. This
naturally gave rise to feelings in her
family. Her father, ]. D. Roberts, APP
proved the course OF his son in the al
cause of her absent lover. Yesterday
morning the subject came up between
father and daughter. Hot words passed
between them, and finally the father be-
came so eXaSperated that he slapped
his daughter IN the face for her OBJ
stinate championship of her sweetheart.
Thereupon the girl grew livid with an
ger, and clenching her hands shrieked
at her father that that was the first
time in her life that he had struck her,
and that it should be the last.
The interview then terminated, the
girl retiring to another room. In half
an hour she was discovered Writhing in
mortal agony, and the discovery was
soon made that she had made away
with the Strychnine bottle and that some
OF the deadly poison was gone. a tele-
phone message was sent at once to Lo-
gan. and DR.. Parkinson sent word back
to give her mustard and water until he
could arrive on the scene. The girl firm
ly resisted all attempts to administer
the emetic, and it is said that it took
four men to force it down her throat.
When the doctor arrived she had thrown
most of the poison up. and with addi-
uonaI treatment was soon out of dan
ger.
II is said that the girl is still deter
mined to die, and many of her neighbors
would not be surprised to see the at
tempt to take her own life repeated as
soon as she is strong enough.

More meat can be produced in the
shortest time from the duck than from
any living thing on the farm. The farm
er who has a drake and six ducks will
get something like 800 or LOGO eggs from
them in a year, and he can set the eggs
under hens and have ducklngs from
the time the first lot comes out. which
IS often as early as February. until late
IN the summer. 1t should not cost over
cents to produce a pound of duck meat.
and they grow so rapidly as to leave
chicks far in the rear. A duckling win
weigh, if forced, four pounds in eight
weeks. We have had them to gam a,
pound in one week
OF course We had the Pekins, and used
only the largest and best we could pro-
cure for breeding purposes. and we have
raised hundreds that never saw water
except in a trough, no ponds OF streams
being used. No quicker way of supply
ing meat for the farmers table can be
suggested that for him to hatch out
a large lot Of ducklfngs. and he can get
a good price for all he may sell. Roast
duck is a better dish than salt pork.
and can be had just as cheaply. as the
ducks. can be raised on the same food
that is required for producing pork

THE ADM1ss1oN OF OUR STATE.

L thank thee Grover Cleveland; I thank
thee for myself,
For thy vigorous proclamation; for Utah S
commonwealth
With flags and banners streaming, this
day we celebrate,
Our hearts with pleasure teeming, the
admission of our state.
We have heard the cannonading. it's
sound has reached afar;
Twas like the noise of battle. like the
thunderings of war.
Twas the people who were cheering, their
joy it was so great
When they read the proclamation: the adj
mission of our state.
We will dance and sing with pleasure,
while the cannons loudly roar,
While tripping to the measure of the
giddy waltz once more
With joy we join the festive throng; this
And sing a song the whole day long:
Success to our new state.
Eight and forty years have gone, they'll
never come again,
Since Brigham and his gallant band were
started Ger the plains,
In search of that new Canaan, DER noun
tain, vale and swamp.
After sore and heavy hardships, near
Great Salt Lake they camp.
Those heroes who first crossed the plains;
with manly hopes and fears
All honor to their blessed names; our in
trepid Pioneers;
Those heroic early corners; they page
in history make
Those were our Pilgrim Fathers; the
founders of our state.
Meath the shadow of these mountains
there's a valley fair and green,
Dotted DER with springs and fountains
a fairer ne'er is seen;
And close beneath those mountain shades,
smiling down upon the lake,
There lies lovely city; the capital of our
state.
Throughout that lovely valley, there are
men and women fair;
Men who love their country; all dangers
they would dare.
And when their country calls them, like
their fathers in the past.
Who were true and valiant soldiers,
Utah's sons shall not be last.
Then raise your voices with cheer, and
swing your banners high!
And show the world we know no fear
for our country we would die.
We will be true as men can be; this day
we consecrate
Our hearts are filed with joy and glee; in
the Union is our state.

HINTS FOR HUSBANDMEN
VALUABLE INFORMATION AS To
WINTER DAIRYING.
stopping Leaks on the Farm-stOr-
ing Ice-Better Work Needed
The Care of Machinery.

L. S. Harden, in Home and Farm,
says that when the pig can crawl
through a smaller hole in the spring
than he could in the fall where has
all your feed gone to? So it is with
the cow. If she can get through a.
smaller gap in the fence in the spring
than she could in the fall, your waste
is greater than the pig. This goes to
the whole subject Of commercial feed
ing. The man who has his COW come
fresh in the Sping. milks them through
the heat flies and swelter of summer,
let's them go dry in the fall, and carries
their carcasses through the winter,
with no return, and brings them out
poor in the spring, can never make
money dairying. He should know
that milk and its product are low
in price in summer. and should
begin his dairy work in the fall
with COWS. Take good care of
them in stables. warm enough to keep
himself and them perfectly comfortable
in the coolest weather Milk products
are now high, and butter is easy to
make and market
The feed raised in the summer is fed
to purpose, and good return for its
value is made. The COWS are not al
lowed to shrink in flesh, and hence milk
well into the summer, taking a new
impulse to make milk when the grass
comes and only go dry when the hot
weather comes, and dairy products are
at their lowest price, and hardest to
make the market. And when those
lose in flesh, but if the grass is burnt
up and scarce, feed them green corn
stalks and some meal to keep them
in good heart for the winters work.
They will pay back every cent that is
judiciously spent upon them at this
time by greater flow of rich milk dur
ing the whole winter. Nothing has
been better proven in dairy practice
than the rule of starving a COW when
she is idle greatly reduces the amount
of her product when she comes in
milk. That even when meal is fed
to cows in milk on good pasture more
than pays its cost in the augmented
yield when the COW approaches her
drying up season.

timent of the people in this city as
given by your correspondent in last
Mondays Herald The Park Record,
while abusive, does not and cannot
disprove the just reasons your CORE
spondent advances why the present
marshal WAS not acceptable to
the taxpayers of this city. Per-
sonally Mr.. Hughes is unknown
to the writer, who bears no
malice toward him. but condemns the
methods resorted to in his appoint
ment. 1t was the same influence that
prevailed when John Weber was ap-
pointed by the cid council. The oppo-
sition was SO energetic that Mr.. Weber
eventually saw fit to resign, being sue
ceeded by Mr.. O'ConneH. Nobody ever
questioned the qualifications and abil-
ity of Mr.. Weber to perform the duties
of marshal, but they did object to the
reprehensible methods used in securing
his appointment. The logical sequence
of that incident has become political
record. The people remembered it toe
well on the day of election in November

REIvrER WoRK NEEnEn.

Up to a certain amount of income
from a cow or an acre of land, or any
thing else on the farm, all is required
to pay expenses, and beyond that is
clear gain.
Now while this statement is not alb
solutely correct it is practically 50. For
example, a COW may cost her owner
$40 to keep for a single year, and her
milk and calf may be worth $40 so that
her owner makes nothing and loses
nothing. But suppose he adds % per
cent to her keeping and the income
will be from 80 to 100 per cent above
the extra expense. The first cost of
the COW and the first cost of the land
on which she is kept is no more, with
the income last named, than with no
income above expenses. If a farmer
makes SIS each year, let him feed better,
shelter better and give more thorough
attention to helping his herd do their
best, even at a cost OF. S. each per COW,
and he will make $40 clear on each cow
per annum. Then too the fertilizer
would be increased in quality and
quantity, and the land increased in
fertility, and the crops grow richer and
heavier The farmers eye would
gIisten with delight at sight of his
gains in every way.-Farm, Field and
FireSide.

STORING ICE.

IhIS is the season when a large num-
Der of dairymen all over the country
will be storing their supply of ice for
the coming year, and it is a, matter of
much Importance that care should be
taken to see that the source from
which the ice is obtained is such that
it will be pure and not filed with dis
ease germs. There are many of these
germs which freezing will steriIize and
render innOcuOuS; there are others,
however, upon which freezing appears
to produce no effect. A London health
officer who has been investiga ting some
of the sources of supply in that metro
polls, finds that in many cases the ice
stored is dangerous to the public health
and gives it as his opinion that sit
should be made a punishable OffenSe to
use impure ice, either for the prepara-
ton or storage of food, or in the manu-
facture of food products In the coun-
try districts of this country there is no
good reason why the ice crop should
not be taken from healthy sources. 1t
may be sometimes a little more con-
Yenient to take ice from stagnant
ponds, but it is never wise, even
though the ice is only to be used to pro-
duce cold and is not to be put into
articles that are to be eaten. If the ice
is impure there is always danger Of
contamination. For large cities where
sewerage is so plentiful and so danger
Gus, the time is not far distant when
an enlightened public opinion will re-
gard ice made expressly for domestic
consumption, from distilled and steri-
lized water, as the only safe kind to
be received into city homes.

DEHORNING COWS

In a number of cases that have come
under our observation. the yield Of
milk Of COWS inclined to be had
tempered has been very materially in
creased by dehOrning; and at the same
time the cows have been made more
agreeable to milk and to handle. 1t is
well known that the COW that quietly.
peaceably and contentedly feeds and
cheWS the cUd makes more milk
other things being equaEthan the COW
that is quarrelsome and in a turmoil.
DehOrning nearly alWaS has a remark
ably quieting effect on bad-tempered
COWS: and sometimes such a cow is d
splendid milker-too valuable to be
sacrificed when dehornirs. will make
her tolerable and at the sane time in
crease her milk yield. The most has
been said about the advantage of de-
horning steers to fatten. but probably
the greatest gain is from dehorning
cows
