Suinp the Bank.

Corporation Attorney Markham has
begun an action against the Allemannia
bank of st. Paul and the sureties on
its bond as depository for city funds,
to enforce the payment of $3.50, 479, the
balance of city funds held on deposit
when the bank suspended, Jan. 4. The
bond was given before the bank
changed its name from the Commercial
bank to the Allemannia bank, and this
will undoubtedly be pleaded by the
defendants as release from liability.

OCCUPATION OF PORT ARTHUR

New York, Dec. 20.-A special to tho

preventative of China in this country.
has expressed the belief that the re-
ported occupancy of Port Arthur by a
Russian squadron would prove to be
but n temporary convenience to the

ron in Asiatic waters was granted per-
mission last year to winter at Kia

there during the winter but as soon as
warm weather set in they would re-
sumo their maneOuvreS i'm the Pacific

Russian officers the Chinese govern
ment sent interpreters to Kiao Chow
and made every effort to make them
comfortable. In view of the German
occupancy of Kiao Chow it was i'm,
possible to permit the Russian ships to
return to that port and the minister

to winter his ships at Port Arthur. II

The police Immediately placed her
under arrest, in accordance with the
amiable custom with regard to school
children. That caused trouble right
away. The young Bannock who in
listed that he was the girls husband, as
sisted by half hundred of his tribes
men, attacked the native police and
took away the girl. The police re-
turned for reenforcements.
The girl was recaptured and three of
the ringleaders of the rioters were ar
| rested and placed in school. The girl,
like Shakespeare's schoolboy, went IN
willingly to her lessons.
The riot began on the night of the
18th of September. The Bannocks were
in state of excitement. A week later
the police captured another ringleader.
He was rescued by band of young
Bannocks. The young Bannocks
seemed to have been abetted by the
older squaws in this conspiracy to keep
the girls from attending school In
the encounters several of the police
were injured and many young Ban

Lieut.. Irwin found that the Fort

The result of it all was that troop +

Hall last week and began the work of
pacifying the Bannocks. That means
that the ringleaders of the riot will be
placed under arrest and that the chill
dren will go to school. if need be, be-

A parcel containing flowers, without

tied in the Battle Creek (Mich.) post
office the other day. Law and custom
demanded that it be sent to the dead
letter office, but the clerks surmised
that the flowers were intended for q
funeral, and took up collection among
themselves so that the parcel was sent
on its way without delay. There was
no clew as to the identity of the person
who mailed it, and it was clear case of
casting their bread upon the waters
by the postal clerks, even if it did cost
them but a few cents at the most.

HATE GOING TO SCHOOL.
Bannock Indian Girls Care Naught
for Book Learning.
Braves Try 10 Marry Them Because
They Think That Education Has
Tendency to Corrupt Their
Young Maidens.

A troop of cavalry has been sent to
see that the Bannock Indian girls go to
school, says the New. York Herald.
They are not like the youngsters whom
you and 1 know who get their hair
twisted into two braids in the morning
and are started off to the nearest school
for young ladies with bag loaded with
books and luncheon. These youngsters,
whose going to school is accompanied
by the tramp of horses hoofs and the
clank of sabers, have no great longing
to drink of the springs of knowledge
themselves and, in addition to that, the
young Bannock braves do not encour-
age them. The braves claim every girl
in the tribe as the wife of somebody,
no matter if she is not more than nine
years old.
The Indian agent at Fort Hall, Idaho,
who has charge of the Bannocks, sent
the native police several weeks ago to
gather in the pupils for the school
which the government maintains there
for Indian children. The Indians do
not take kindly to education. Nine out
of every ten Indian fathers would rath-
er see their sons and daughters work
than study books-and working has
long been placed under tAe ban by these
willy Indians.
1t is the customary thing for an In
dian agent to arrest the copper-skinned
youngsters of school age and bring
them to the font of knowledge by force
of arms.
Lieut.. Irwin, who has charge of the
Bannock reservation, which centers
around Fort Hall, was much annoyed
by the habit the young Bannocks had
of proclaiming that the young girls
were their wives. He sent the Indian
police out to bring in the children, for
the schoolhouse had been newly white

A HORSE ON LANKY.
Fat and Thin Men Talk While the
Animal Eats.


Two men, one of a colossal form, the
other with a shape that would put the
ordinary thin man to shame, stopped in
front of each other with much sudden
ness at the edge of the pavement on the
Washington street side of the city hall
at Chicago and from the handshaking
and conversation that followed a casual
observer was led to believe that they
were old-time friends and had not seen
each other since childhood days.
At frequent intervals the fat man
would jerk his heavy mustache vigor-
ously and express his feeling of surprise
at meeting his old friend with subdued
laughter. Directly behind them horse
scrutinized them closely and took spe-
cial delight in keeping a diligent watch
on the thin mans long coat-tail. The
latter fell into reminiscent mood and
talked entertainingly for several min
utes. Suddenly he felt a jerk at his

One of the most wonderful freaks OF
nature probably inside the city limits
is that of sheep owned by T. K. Weldy,
of "a North Thirty-eighth street, which
is not only alive, but extremely healthy
and active, says the Philadelphia In
quirer. The animal was born with the
head turned upside down. 1t was one
of pair of twins, the other lamb dying
for lack of nourishment. The life of
this one was saved by a farmers fam
lily at Picton, Nova Scotia, taking charge
of it before it succumbed and raising
it by bottle.
The animal not only took the nourish-
ment but soon developed into healthy

Fish Found on Land.

- -ery curious species of fish which
lives on dry land for ten months in the
year was recently discovered by DIR.
Suard in the Moro district of the French
Soudan, some 500 miles from the coast.
This fish belongs to the family of ST.
luri, and very much resembles the
Clarias. 1t lives in the marshes which
are formed during the two months of
rainy season in that zone, and after
that time it hides in holes in the
ground, which the fish leaves at night
to search for its food, consisting mainly
of millet seed. DIR. Suard named this
fish the Clarias Lazera, and describes
its appearance, which differs from the
Siluri mainly in the number of barbs,
of which the wly-discovered has
eight, all of which are strongly de
veloped. This species differs from the
African mudfish, Trosopteras. in that it
does not close itself up in a capsule dur
ing the hot and dry season, like the
latter fish, which remains in a condl-
ton of semi-catalepsy during summer
The Clarias Lazcra only hides during
the hottest hours of the day, and is ont
on dry land every night throughout
the year.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
