~The three bank failures in
Crawford county have caused a
good deal of excitement this week,
some citizens of Dubois county hav-
ing deposits at English. Willett,
the absconding cashier, was a prom
inent man in the county, the demo
cratic committeeman for this con-
gressional district, and an opponent
of the silver plank in the Chicago
platform. He was slipped in as
committeeman by the gold-bug folks
at New Albany, and the ''cold
standard" for deposiiors worked
with him. Weathers is a gold-bug
Republican, and was that party's
nominee last year for Judge. The
whereabouts Of neither is known,
and either would be summary
lynched if found in Crawford
county.
The pape-s say $500, 900 was de-
posted in the three banks, hut all
conversant with the county know
there has never been that much
money in Crawford county. $780,
600 is the outside limit. Weathers
made an assignment Tuesday, and
came back % English on Wednes-
day to help settle the banks bust
ness. Willet's whereabouts are not
KIN ,wn, but relatives in Kentucky,
and friends in Crawford, have
pledged 1925, 900 to make up any
shortage which may be found
against him, and this with Wealth
ers' property will probably enable
the banks to make good all they
owe. Consequently all threats OF
violence have ceased. Mrs. Willei
is said to be in a precarious condi-
ton by reason Of her husband
actions, and if he is guaranteed i'm
munity he will probably return, too.

A witness in murder case in Indi-
ana recently testified that the evening
before the tragedy he dined with the
victim, and the latter, on paying the
waiter, drew a fve-dollar bill from
a large roll containing fifty times that
amount. This statement suggested a
motive for the murder which had hith-
erto been comprehensive. Future
civilization may emphasize the fact
that to offer temptation is as culpable
as the crime it incites. The man who
needlessly opens rolls of money in pub
lie places; the woman who displays
valuable jewels in street cars; the
merchant who thoughtlessly gives his
young clerk tempting opportunities for
peeulation; the housekeeper who trusts
without oversight all accounts to her
cook, are not themselves wholly inno-
cent when moral degeneration or q
blasted character is the result. Osten-
tation, Incidence, too great leniency

1t is said that the good roads COM
mittee of Massachusetts has struck
upon very novel but effective man
ner of promoting it's work. Instead o.
using the money at it's disposal to
make continuous stretches Of good
reads as far as the money held out,
1t has alternated good roads with bad,
each being one mile in extent. Thus,
the driver hauling a heavy load to
market, spins merrily along for a mile
over an admirable road, and then
strikes a mile of muck and mire. This
makes him swear, of course, and when
he finally gets through it to the next
mile of good road, he appreciates it all
the more. The committee claims by
this method it can more easily and
rapidly arouse a general interest in
road improvement.

The London Economist says: "In the
course of report to the Foreign Office
on the trade of the consular district of
Barcelona, Mr.. Consul Wyndham calls
attention to the serious effect which
the colonial rebellions have exercised
on some of the local industries. His
remarks are as follows: The rebel
lions in Cuba and Manila, which have
continued throughout the year, have
to a great extent paralyzed the COM
merce of Catalonia, as it is a manu-
featuring rather than agricultural dis
trict, and the largest part of the manu-
featured goods found a market in the
Spanish colonies now nearly complete
ly closed to them. Everywhere in Ca
talonia mills have been closed, or
worked short time, and with dimin-
ished numbers OF hands. AS an exam
pie, take the town of Mataro, one of
the principal manufacturing places of
the district. Here we find out of eight
factories making cotton goods FIVE only
are working, and these with only one
third of their complement of workmen,
and on an average only four days in
the week."

TubercuIln Test in France.

The French government has recently
issued decree that will affect all ship
pers of cattle to that country. the order
being in effect that no cattle can be i'm
ported and retained unless they have
been tested on the frontier by the tu-
berculin test and found free of tuber-
culosis. This measure has become i'm

A few months ago a fine dog belong
ing to A. L. Luetgert of Chicago was
missing. The owner made a great fuss
about 1t, bounding the police day and
night In his effort to get them to find it.
On May 2 Luetgert's wife was also
missing, and instead of notifying the
police, or showing much concern, he
said little or nothing about her strange
disappearance. This marked contrast
in Luetgert's conduct made the police
suspicious, and now they have disclosed
what appears to be horrible murder,
and Luetgert is fast behind the bars.

AtLlth. The order particularly affects
the import OF British breeding stock.
In the past few years a syndicate of
French breeders of Shorthorns has,
through the aid of the French govern
ment, purchased numbers of high-bred
Shorthorns in Great Britain with the
object of improving the cattle of that
breed In their own country. Among
their purchases have been some of the
best Shorthorn bulls brought out at the
shows of the Royal Agricultural So
ciety of England. Under the new regu-
lation of the French government the
above syndicate finds IL must refuse to
purchase any cattle that will not come
out clear from the tuberculin test. Re-
cent experience under this order brings
out this emphatic refusal, two or three
of the bulls purchased In Great Britain
having proved tuberculous and having
TO be destroyed. One OF these was Lord
Polwarth's Observation-Disclosures at
the Royal Show at Leicester-and pur-
chased at price closely approaching
$1,000. Under the circumstances the de-
cision of the syndicate Is hardly sur
prising. The example of the French
government has been followed by the
Canadian-that no cattle shall be i'm
ported into the Dominion unless war
ranted free of tuberculosis as tested by
the tuberculin test.
