HIS ABSENCE BRINGS WOE.
Financial Disasters mt Loda, ILL.,, Due
to "a Banker's Disappearance.

Loda, H., April 2S.-The disappear
ance and supposed suicide in Chicago
of John S. Sheldon, banker and capital
ist, has brought disaster and financial
ruin on this town. Nearly one-half of
Loda is in the hands of receivers. What
remains of the town is temporarily
paralyzed by the shock consequent upon
the failure and the mysterious disap-
pearance of the banker. Nine assign
ments were entered in the Iroquois
county court Tuesday, as the result of
Sheldon's disappearance. The number
of farmers and others in this COM
munity who will be seriously affected
by the sudden and unexpected collapse
of Sheldon's bank is estimated at 400
The deposits in the bank at the time it
closed are roughly estimated at $4,000.
The amount of the banks assets is only
vaguely guessed at.

THE increase in the worlds coinage
of gold in ten years appears in COM
pairing the coinage of the years 1888,
1884 and 1855 with the years 1893, 1894
and 1895 In the former period the
gold coinage was $500, 035, 491, in the
latter S691, 42s, 977-an increase of 1870
per cent. During the three years inn
mediately preceding 1898 the total
gold coinage was SAL, 252, 211. Consid-
cradle more gold was coined in the
last named period than was produced,
which indicates recoinage and the con-
version of gold held in other forms
into money.

STATISTICS show that the medical
profession is more prone to suicide
than any other. During the last three
years the mum Der of suicides occurring
among physicians has been respective
ly, a., 40 and AZ per annum, an aver
age of nearly one to 1000 IL
has been suggested that an explana-
tion of this tendency may be found in
the development of morbid fancies in
the mind OF doctor, on account of his
constant association with the sick and
dying, or of an actual indifference to
death, or because he has the requisite
knowledge OF how to die painlessly aud
conveniently.

BACTERIA, as one might infer from
their simple structure, seem to have
appeared with the first life on earth.
In a study of the early rocks NJ. b.
Renault has found indications of tho
presence of microbes in bones, teeth,
scales and croprolites, as well as an
abundance in vegetable tissue, espe-
cially in the spores and sporanges of
ferns. The cocoid or globular form
appears to have been earlier than the
bacillar or rod-shaped, the species, as
a rule, having been different from
those now living.
