valuable scientific laboratories and

vested funds in all amounting to
about half million dollars. The
whole income of the institution is
about SAC, 900, being $4,000 appro-
priation from the State and 500, 900
derived from fees, tuition and in

from the State is smaller than con-
tributed to any similar institution of
its class. in America, while the number
of students is larger than any South

young men from leaving the State

, Public schools-Compulsory Attendance
! The Constitution r. quires that on
CT more Of these schools shall b
maintained in each school district q
least four months in the year. How
ever much men differ about othe
matters, I have yet to hear of tn
first man who proposes to chang
this provision of our Constitution
;, There it stands as the continuin
u mandate Of the Constitution, and
: urge you to make ample provision t
d carry it out in good faith. Othe
d legislatures have from time to tim
t increased the taxes for these school
i and this increase has developed tW
q facts: First, that such a tax is NJ
~ unpopular with the people, and, SCI
! ond, that the increase made by yor
:. predecessors is not sufficient. Will
Il all taxes are to some extent burden
r some, this tax, l MAINTAIN, is tt
'e least so of any imposed, because Il
D; taxes for these public schools are in
f. mediately expended among the We,
e. people who pay them in the enligh
| eminent and improvement of Il
p, people among whom they live. 4
- l, therefore, urge you to NAL
- these schools more efficient and US
Il full by increasing the tax levy f
3, their support. This can be lone |
n an increase of the tax levy cen
rs or by increasing the pol tax
D. cents, or by compulsory attendant
e. upon the public schools. Eth
would bring about the much desir
object in my judgment.

st. Paul Bank Ass;rns.

st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 19.-The Min
nesota State Savings Bank closed its
doors Monday and filed a deed of
assignment, naming William Bickel as
assignee. An affidavit was filed stat
ing that the assets would amount to
about $250,000, while the liabilities are
in the neighborhood of $23O,OOO. The
officers of the bank deemed this step
the best under the circumstances to
protect the depositors. The recent fur
ry in banking affairs caused withdraw
al of deposits to such an extent that,
although the bank required the sixty
days notice., it was unable to raise
enough ready money to meet demands.

Bank Crash at Newpor {, Ky.

Newport, KY, Jan. 19.-The First
National Bank of this city closed it's
doors on Monday. Heavy invest
ments in real estate in this city are
said to be the cause.
The failure was great surprise to
the business men of the city. While
statement was given out by the Off
GERS that no one would lose anything
there were all sorts of rumors flying
about. Fortunately the integrity oil
the officers is such that no suggestion
of wrong-doing has found credence.
The first evidence of weakness was
the refusal of the officers Saturday to
pay $4,000 to the treasurer of the Belle
vue school board, which he had re-
Gently deposited and which he had been
advised he ought to get out.

In several localities In the south, In the
mountainous regions Of Georgia, South
Carolina and North Carolina in particu-
lar, there are families, or even whole COM
munities, that use clay as a part of their
regular diet. In northern Alabama lin
Winston county, there is bed Of this Pc
ouliar edible clay, and, Of course, COM
munity of clay eaters. This queer clay is
of a CHASTITY white color, of an oily nature,
and, according to chemical analysis, 1t
has extraordinary nutritive property, If
considered only as variety Of earth.
Persons who have visited the clay eat
ing communities say that steady diet Of
this white, oily earth has a tendency to
turn the skin a pale olive green. Some
medical writers claim that this deathly
pallor is caused by the presence Of a large
per cent Of arsenic In the clay's compost
ton, but this can hardly be when the sta
tastics prove thatth clay eaters live as long
as or longer than their meat, grain and
vegetable eating neighbors. The teeth Of
the Olay eaters often remain sound and
white beyond the SEVENTEEN year..-St.
