vernennea Bank Affairs.

On Saturday next the stockholders Of
the defunct Farmers national bank will
pay the third installment of the assess
ment of 100 per cent deemed necessary
by the government to satisfactorily settle
the affairs of the bank and pay up the
depositors When the schedule was made
up It was planned to divide payments
into four, making them come on June TO-
July 10, Aug. 10 and Sept. 10. The total
amount has thus been one-half paid and
the whole win be settled by September
10. The drain has been severe on the
holders of the stock of the bank, especial
ly among the smaller ones, and farms
have been mortgaged to secure the neces-
sary amount demanded by the govern
ment. The defaulting cashier d. II.
Lewis is spending a seemingly delightful
summer in camp near Basin Harbor OBJ
vious to the hardships which are bur
dening the people by reason of his ras-
cality. Public sentiment has cooled to
a degree toward him even in the city of
which he was practically the idol for
many years.
Mr.. Ketchum is around as usual with
the same Indifferent. nonchalent attitude
and engaging manners. As the time of
the trial of the two ex-bank officials APP
proaches the outcome is the topic of not
little conversation in this neighborhood.

Colds md Innurance.

A leading insurance journal says
somewhat pathetically that colds cost
life insurance companies $1,000,0O0 a
month. What they cost those who
catch the colds Is of course quite be-
yond cavil or reclaim. but the paper
goes on to warn the careless who hap
pen to own policies how to be able to
keep on paying premiums a while Ion
ger. The gist of the advice is to avoid
exposure, keep out of drafts and fight
a cold from start to finish. THE grave
is still very hungry" 1t adds. Besides,
the life insurance companies would
like to save a million a MONTH" The
highest medical authority in Journal
ism gives the following: THE philoso-
ply of prevention is to preserve the
natural and healthy action of the or
ganism as a whole and of the surface
in particular. while habituating the
skin to bear severe alterations of tenn
perature by judicious exposure and
natural stimulation by pure air and
clean water and orderly habits OF n.y.

a peculiar disease or blight has at
tackled the hard naples in Ripton. The
leaf changes to a darker color in small
spots, which rapidly spread over the

Dr. Nelson Call states that the reports
of suspended animation on his part after

ated He adds: 1.-The truth is that

home insensible, but recovered in two

VIM. G. Hunt, 2s, a farmer, living four

causing instant death. His wife and
child went out to pick berries, leaving
him lying down in the house. When they
returned at noon 1t was found that Hunt
must have been dead two or three hours.
Dependency and financial difficulties
caused the deed.

Cashier Mussey, Who Was Pardoned,
Has Recovered,

Former Cashier Chas. w. Mussey, who
looted the Merchants National bank of
Rutland, to the extent of $4,000. and was
sentenced to seven years in the house of
correction, and who was pardoned on
July 26 because, 1t was represented to
President Mckinley, he was dying of APP
pendicitis, without any chance of recov-
cry, left Rutland Saturday for hunting
trip in the Adrondacks. He will remain
there about six weeks, and then will go to
a cottage which has been rented by his
relatives on the shore of Lake Champlain
Mussey was taken to the hospital on the
ground that he was i'll with appendicitis
early in July, and reports from the hos
pital stated that he was sinking lower
day by day. When the pardon was re-
ceived he was reported to be dying, and
he was said to be so low that the physi-
clans did not dare to perform an opera
ton The next day after the pardon ar
rived Mr.. Mussey showed a decided i'm
provement. In two or three days he sat
up, and in less than two weeks he was
able to walk about the hospital. He is
we'll and strong today, it is said.
Great indignation is felt among the resi-
dents of Rutland, many of whom lost
heavily-some of them all they had in the
banks collapse Marvin A. Mcclure, who
obtained a good share of the money taken
by Mr.. Mussey, is still in the house of
correction, serving a seven year term.
When Mcclure was told that Mussey had
fully recovered from his illness, he said:
"I am mighty glad of it, for Charles's
sake, but If / have got to take the meas
ures that he took in order to gain my
freedom, I will stay behind the bars"

A bright as He Wa. Bad.

He was a charming little fellow Of 4,
pretty in his ways. good to look at, but
as naughty as could be. He sat on the
bottom step kicking his fat little legs
and refusing utterly to obey his IA
ther, who had told him to go up stairs
several times IN increasing degrees of
severity After a few minutes of this
clashing Of wills his exasperated par
ent picked him up somewhat suddenly,
carried him and sat him down very
firmly on a chair in his room and then
went out and shut the door. Silence
reigned; not a sound from him for
at least half an hour. Then the door
opened, and a sweet little voice called
out, "Father. have you got over your
tantrum yet, for should like to come
down Y'-London Tit-Bits.
