WOMEN WIN An ELECTION.
Through Their Efforts the Town of Middle
burg Voted Ne License.

B~rNaHAMToN. N. Y. March 10.-The town OF
Middleburg was the scene Of a political fight on
Tuesday last in which the women OF the village
won a spirited contest in behalf Of no license.
For several weeks before election the women.
who had organized for the purpose. made a
house to house canvass and labored with the
voters. Girls persuaded their sweethearts and
wives labored with their husbands. Then they
opened q series OF revival meetings In the
church the week before election, and saw
that every male member Of tho community
was present or furnished a reasonable excuse.
The license men were dazed at the energy
displayed. but made n strong attempt to carry
their point.
On tuesday morning. when the polls opened,
a CORPS of women workers wore ON hand, and
had they been trained for years In o political
school they could not have done better, A
lunch and hot coffee was served at the polling
place. and every voter who came up was invited
ment OF so cents a head, and with the fund
hired carriages in. which no.license voters
were brought To tho polls. When the votes
were counted the good work OF the ladies'
showed up In great form. IL was found that
the community had decided by a large major
fly that neither drug stores. hotels or saloons
should be allowed "A license the coming year.
and II any one wants. a drink in MiddlebuTa
during the next year he Will have to choose be-
tween the COW and the town pump.

From lAe San Ditgo UnioM.

An incident OF the forest fires in the hills OF
tho Descanso neighborhood in southern Cali
fornia illustrates the comrRdcship that COM
mon peril brings about among beasts as well as
among men.
After the fame s had COMPLETED their work OF
destruction and spread a pail oyer the hills. n
rancher went forth anon" the charrsd stumps
and smoking brush heaps to look for "A num-
Der Of cattle andlcolts, which he feared had
been hemmed in by the fire, He went
across gully aud ridge in his search. un-
til at last he saw his stock at some little
distance ahead. He was more than astonished
upon coming upto the group TO fnd not only
a coyote and several rabbits, all alive. and ap-
parcntly In no fear Of him. They watched his
approach with Indifference. the timidity gone
from the big-eyed deer. no venom in the Wild
cats purr. and honesty shining in the gray
coyotes face. The rabbits sat on their launches.
as meek as the pets Of children. But the poor
coyote was in pain. and as the iarmCr came
close the erstwhile robbero of the rOost dragged
his helpless HEADQUARTERS toward the man in
mute supplication. The legs of the animal had
been frightiully burned.
The rancher was In no mood to make friends
OF such strange creatures, and ut once drove
the stock through the smoldering brush. the
deer going along with the cattle, the rabbits
hopping along at the rancheT's heels. the Wild
cats slouching along behind. and the coyote.

TO PREVENT YELLOW FEVER.
Soldiers and Their Baggage Returning from
Cuba to Be FumiRatod.

WASHINGTON. March 1O.-SurGeon-G Genera
Wyman of the Marine Hospital Service is about
to tackle a Job In which he will need the hearty
and earnest cooperation OF the army officials
to make 1t a success. 1t is his belief that in
order to prevent an epidemic OF yellow fever
this year it will be necessary thoroughly to
fumigate the baggage OF every soldier who re-
turns from Cuba. According TO War Depart
ment plans, the volunteers now on duty there
will be brought home next month, and tina
surGeon-General must be ready from the first
to grapple with the situation. 1t would be per-
fectly safe. Ia Gen. Wyman's opinion, to per-
NIT soldiers and their baggage to come into
Northern ports without fumtgation or diSin-
lection, but because they arc likely to go into
all parts OF the country after landing the ne
cessity for iumigation exists. One or two cases
Of yellow fever In the South would produce
epidemics and panic; hence the desirahility OF
doing everything possible to prevent the pos
sibility Of such a thing,
Next year. Gen. Wyman says, sanitary condi-
tons in Cuba will be such that IL will not be
essential to disinfect travellers or their bag
gage to prevent the Introduction of fever into
the States ;'but until then the strictest meas
ures must needs be enforced. Gen. WymAn
will have a conference with Wal Department
~oflelBSs IN a few days TO agree upon q plan for
iunlgatioR and eIlnfsstton OF all returning
soldiers.

The plan that will be carried out if

NEW YORK. March 9.-That the gov

campaign against the unsanitary habits
of the residents of Porto Rico and Cuba
is shown in consignment which has
recently been placed on the pier at the

large number of metal garbage cans.
They are billed to the army depot at

Radical Change in Method to Be Put INTO
Pract6ce in iowa.
BEs MONIES, Ia.,March 9.-Attorney
ItGeneraI Milton Remley has decsded
that national banks, in making their
statements to assessors, cannot deduct
from their capital stock the amount of
government bonds they carry. The de-
lccision was rendered for Auditor of State
f. f. Merriam, who is now issuing in
Isstructions to the county assessors
in all parts of the state. The
attorney general holds that the
bank stock exists Independently of the
national paper held, and, therefore, the
total capital stock should be considered
by the the assessor.
1t has been the practice hitherto to
assess the national banks for the amount
of stock after deaucting from the total
| capital the face value of all government
bonds. 1t is not unlikely that the banks
twill resist the assessment when made
under the new ruling of the attorney
general.
Another change in the ruling instructs
|ithe assessors to consider not alone the
capital stock, surplus and undivided
earnings, but to base the assessment
upon the actual market value of the
stock assessed. Many banks, it is stated.
with small capital have much greater
earning pow er than institutions appar-
emily larger.

Bank of England, after victimizing
other banks in Enrope by means of
forged letters of credit. Their idea

largest ships in the American navy, and
about equal in dimensions to the best

two knots over the Oregon class, but
