BIG BANK CLOSED
Reinhard & Co.,, of Columbus Suspend
 Business

Columbus, O., April 10.-The bank of Rein hard & Co.,, founded in 1868, suspended busi- ness today. The bank was closed at noon, and about the same time John G. and Henry A. Reinhard filed deeds of assign ment to Thomas J. Abernathy, who quali- fled by giving bonds aggregating $325 900.
 John C. Reinhard, cashier of the bank made the following statement:
 The suspension was caused by persist ent 'lmors which have been afoat for about four weeks refecting on the fnan- clal condition of the bank and its owners In one months time our deposits have dwindled down from $35O00O to s9S, ,OOO
 Our inability to raise funds precipitated the suspension and the bank and the as- slgnments. The assignments were made to protect the interests of our depositors who VIII be paid dollar for dollar.
 The assests of the bank are $1S2 900 and the liabilities about $14O,000 Ninety-eight thousand dollars of the liabilities are in deposits.
 Ioday the bank endeayored to realize on exchange and collaterals, and finding this could not be done, and as the funds or the bank were rapidly going out 1t was ueemed advisable to suspend at noon"

QUEEN AGAIN HONORED
She Took Her Customary Drive Amid
 Great Enthusiasm

Dublin, April 10.-Queen Victoria took her customary drive in her chair in the vice regal grounds this morning. In the afternoon the queen selected the pictur- esque route along the valley of the Liffey for her drive, and covered nearly twenty miles before returning to the vice regal lodge. Her majesty rode in an open landau and was accompanied by the Princess and Prince Leopold.
 Although the route was only selected a lew hours previous to the start, the vil- lages traversed were gay with bunting, and crowds of cheering people lined the highways. Groups of scarlet-coated chil- dren from the soldiers schools, operatives from the mills and peasants in the fields formed the days collection of spectators.
 The private secretary and equerry to the queen, Sir Arthur J. Bigge, announced to the reporters today that her majesty was very much pleased to hear that all the children who took part in the demonstra- tion in her honor Saturday, had arrived home safe and happy. The queen, through the authorities here, has informed the citizens of Dublin of her delight at the re- ception accorded her yesterday.

GAYNoRs NOT RELEASED
Contrary to Expectations It is Said
 They Will Be Held

New York, April 10.-Contrary to the opinion which has prevailed that Benja- min D. Green, Colonel John F. Gaynor, E. H. Gaynor and W. T. Gaynor, indicted for conspiracy and embezzement in the Carter case would be discharged from cus- tody on account of the refusal of Judge Brown in the United States court to grant an order removing them to Georgia for trial, it was said today that Judge Brown may hold the Indicted men until additional evidence is taken before a United States commissioner. Judge Brown refused to grant the order last Wednesday on the ground that there was lack of evidence to prove the indictment.
 The authority for this statement as to the future conduct of the case said the outcome depends entirely on the action of the Georgia district attorney, who is directing the proceedings. He is empow- cred to request the court to hold those indicted until additional evidence be taken, or he may secure a new indictment, have the prisoners discharged, re-arrested and tried on the new bill.

PRATT CIIY.

Pratt City, April 1O-(Specal )-What came very near being runaway occurred here today. A double team of horses own ed by MT. w. E. Hyde, in the employ of the Krebs Manufacturing company, became frightened at Ida station at about D. m., and though the wagon was loaded with over 1000 feet of flooring, the horses bolted away as if nothing was in it, and throwing the colored driver off, started up Third street. Running down its full length, they passed the Kansas City station, and strik- ing a tree out in Village creek, tore the wagon into pieces, and it is thought dam- aged one of the horses. Lumber was pro- miscuously strewn over the streets, and much excitement was caused. The driver, at last accounts, is seriously if not dan gerously hurt.

DEWEY BOUNTY CASE
Argument Has Begun in the United
 States Supreme Court

Washington, April 1O.-Argument was be- gun in the United States supreme court today in the case of Admiral Dewey and his men. The case grows out of their claim for bounty due for the destruction of the Spanish fleet at Manila and comes to the supreme court on April from the de- cision of the court of claims.
 The court awarded the men $100 each and the admiral $9,570. They claim double that amount in all cases, on the ground that the enemys force was superior to the American fleet. Messrs. William D. King and Benjamin Micou and former Secretary Herbert represent the claimants, and As- sistant Attorney General Pratt the gov ernment.

"QUO VADIS."

One of the seasons most important
first appearances here will be that Of
Quo Vadis." Money has been spent
lavlshly in getting the play ready for the
stage and much is expected of it. Music
which is to be a feature of the produce.
ton, has had great attention. Julian.
Edwards, of a number of sue
cessful operas, wrote the music which in
cludes hymns for the pagans, the vestal
virgins and the Christians, the wild,
maddening dances of the ~Corybantes,
the lament of the Emperor Nero over
his dead child, the bacchanalian chants
sung by the jewellers at Nero's banquet,
and the music throughout the play.
To interpret this music, a chorus is
employed. The costumes made from de-
signs of r. Seidel, were manufactured
by the great c~ostuIning firm of Baruch
in Berlin, Germany and are copies Of
the robes depicted in works of art, an
cient and modern.
Mr.. STANCE has stuck close to Mr..
S~ienkieWicz's story in making his play,
which begins in Petronius' house, where
Vinicius confesses his alteration of Ly-
gia, and ends in the arena of the circus
after Ursus' triumph over the wild bull
and the rescue of the heroine from her
perilous position on the horns of the
maddened animal. Between these two
points, there is the orgy at Nero's pal
ace, the flight of Lygia and Vinicius'
pursuit of her, the plotting against the
emperor's favorite, Petronius, the burn
Ing of Rome-One of the great effects of
the play-and the death of little Aulus
in the Mamertine. The religious side of
the book has been accentuated, the third
act in particular showing the struggles
of the early Christians and their SUI
preme devotion.
The scenery, which was painted in
New York by Frank E. Dodge shows
eight sets-the peristyle of Petronius'
house, the gardens at the home of Aulus
Plautius, the gardens n palace of Ne
ro's palace ,Petronius' villa at Antium,
the garden at Linus house with a pan
oramic view of tn eburning of Rome, an
other view of Nero's palace, the interior
Of the Mamertine prison, and the ex-
terror of the circus showing the arena

NEED OFF
FOR TRUANTS
ENFORCEMENT OF COMPULSORY
EDUCATION Law IS
NECESSARY.
YOUNG HODLUMS ARE
DOING MUCH MISCHIEF.
Almost Impossible For Police to Ap-
prehend Them-Judge Sulli-
vans Views.

IF there was ever a time in Butte
when a truant officer could get in his
work, now is that time" said Judge Sui
livan his morning to an Inter Noun
tain reporter after court adjourned. A
short time before he had sentenced three
boys for creating a disturbance in the
lobby of the Grand opera house.
Complaints come in daily regarding
the d~epredations of hoodlums all
over the city. They break windows just
to hear the glass smash. enter yards and
steal whatever they can lay their hands
on, and are up to all kinds of mischief.
These young rOwdies can scent a police
man two blocks away, and are off like
the wind, so it is almost impossible for
an officer to catch them red-handed.
I'VE have good laws on our statute
books, bpt they are not enforced. We
have a compulsory education law, but
no attention is paid to it. If these boys
were sent to school,, n a rawhide disci-
pline applied, it would have a good effect,
and probably keep them OF of mischief"
Judge Sullivan took up the first volume
of the Political Code of Montana, and,
turning to page PSI, read the section per-
tanning to compulsory education. Neg
lect of parents to comply with the law
is deemed a misdemeanor, and the PEN
atty imposed is from S. to $25 for each
offense.
Turning over the leaf, the judge put
MS hinge upon section 1874 or the same
article, which is as follows:
In every school district having a pop
uQation of 1000 or more, the board of
trustees may appoint one person who
shall be designated as a truant officer.
whose duty it shall be, acting discreetly,
to apprehend on view all children be-
tween 8 and IA years of age who are
residents of said school district, who
habitually frequent or loiter about public
places and have no lawful occupation,
! and place such children when SO appre-
hended in the public school. and such
officer shall report all cases of truancy
to his respective board of trustees i'm
mediately. Upon the receipt of such in
formation from such truan officer, any
I member of the board of school trustees
shall forthwith proceed to prosecute the
person SO offending as prescribed in
Section 1920 of this title. Such officer
shall be entitled to such compensation
as shall be fixed by the board appoint
ing him, which shall be paid out of the
school fund"
Judge Sullivan is strongly Of the opin-
ion that neglect of the prope rauthorities
to enforce these laws or comply with
their provisions has lone more than any
thing else to make hoodlums defiant and
promote mischief, if not immortality.
