The Board.

In the absence of Mayor Gardner,
J. c. Reynolds filled that important
post last Tuesday night. There
were present r. Polk, John Adams,
w. G. Reynolds and T. B. Greer.
The budget of business was light
on account of two absentees.
The Water and Lights Commit
tee reported another gain for the
month ending May IL of $153.60
over expenses. The total receipts
were $695.40 and expenses $541.S0.
The question of refunding a por-
ton of the tax paid by c. H. Sher-
rill g. Co. on assessment made jan
uary 10, 1900, came up for adjudica-
ton. Mr.. Sheriff. was present and
stated that the firm had made an
error in its schedule submitted to
the assessor; that. after making
statement of all other assets, the
stock of lumber and building ma
terial was estimated on the basis
of full supply, when in fact, it
was at the lowest point tor the
year. He knew that the company
was responsible for the mistake,
and that there was no resource of
law to recover under the circum-
stances, but prayed the clemency of
the Board in claim he considered
just and equitable. The committee
to investigate the matter
having reported, there was little
further discussion, and upon vote
it was decided to refund the taxes
on 81, 900 of stock.
There were also two other items
OF taxes refunded: w. E. Scates
ON church property So, and c. H.
Sheriff. & Co., $3.50.
The tax assessment books we're
reported finished.
After passing on some accounts.

INFLUENZA AND SUICIDE.

New York Medical Journal.
Three recent occurrences-the deaths Of
DR.. Guernsey and the Rev. DR.. Babcock,
of New York, and DR.. William H. DAILY,
Of Pittsburg, by suicide after an attack
Of infuenza-can hardly fail, we should
say, to impress upon the medical profess
sion and upon the general public the
dangerous character of the emotional
perversion that often follows in the wake
of that disease and lasts sometimes for
a very long period-as long as two years,
to our certain knowledge, in some in
stances. All three of the victims whose
names we have mentioned were men in
the prime of a successful and creditable
career, with every reason to look for
ward to many more years of usefulness
and happiness, but the Wretched detection
consequent on their ailment seized upon
them and overthrow their mental balance.
Even men who are naturally the greatest
of optimists-optimists almost to the ex-
tent of being Visionary-are caught in
the tolls of this dreadful melancholy, and
in too many cases yield to the suicidal
tendency The intellectual faculties, SO
far as we have observed are but little, if
at all, impaired SO soon as he has re-
covered his physical strength, and even
sooner, the subject is able to do his Or
binary amount Of intellectual work, and
Of emotional disturbance, no matter how
trifing, upsets aim, makes him lachry-
NOSE, and plunges him into the despair
that often leads to suicide.
When we add to the vast physical dam
age wrought by influenza, directly or in
directly, this melancholic psychical
sequela, we have some idea of the death
dealing power of the disease. In the alb
scnce of any specific curative treatment,
we must bend cur efforts toward re-
stricting the spread of the Infection
with no great prospect of substantial
success, it must be admitted-and toward
preventing patients who are apparently
ccnvalescent from resuming their ordinary
course of life too soon, having first, if
we are able, prevailed upon them to give
up work and take to bed in the incipiency
of the ailment From the particular
point of view of the not uncommon sui
cidal tendency in the after-melancholy,
we may well urge upon the friends Of
convalescents who are affected with this
sequela unusual watchfulness, even to
the degree of rousing the patients resent
ment, which, indeed, might prove q
wholesome restorative.

WORKING FOR GENERAL BOOM
Professional May Start Strong Bull
Movement in Near Future
Trade Is Quiet at
Manchester.

LONDON, Aug. 1S.-The stock exchange
settlement last week passed easily. Mon
ey was quite plentiful, SO much so as to
induce talk of reduction of the bank
rate to 25a. But conservatives argue
against this disappointing outlook that
there is certain to be a gold drain to-
wards the United States in mid-Septem-
ber, when the twenty-six and half mill
ion reserve will not be too large to meet
demand.
Stocks were generally higher and busi-
ness took wider range. Attendance
on the exchange is still meagre, owing
to the holidays, but there are indications
of legitimate buying for investment in
the case of gilt-edge securities, including
American railroad shares. This move
ment is accepted by many as indicating
that the tide had finally turned and
that better times are ahead after long
period of stagnation.
Signs are not wanting, however, that
the professionals are making precon-
certed effort to work up boom in all
sections of the stock exchange, leading
off with Kaffirs, on the strength of a few
gold shipments already received, but con-
ditiOns do not favor such a movement
The steel strike is still a dark cloud over
the American section. The real end Of
the South African war is not yet in
sight, and the fact that 100000 In gold
was brought in from the Rand during
July has done but little to affect the feel
ings of taxpayers, who have spent over
100000 on the war during the same
period, with the prospect of continuing
the same indefinitely. Barring unforeseen
developments. of an unfaYorable nature,
it is probable that a healthy upward
movement is not far off, but the likelt-
hood is that several false starts will be
made before this movement is fairly in
augurated

Calumet and Hec1a Company Will
Go Down Two Miles.
The annual report Of the Calumet &
Hecla did not make as favorable a
showing as was anticipated by most
Shareholders and the stock declined On
the strength of the statement report,
says the Milwaukee Sentinel There has
been considerable newspaper comment
about the mine and it's finances, mostly
couched in a pessimistic tone, and the
reader unacquainted with the property
might imagine that it was about to go
out Of business within a few years. Con-
sidering that the mine paid dividends Of
Sc, 900 last year it might be well to go
slowly in condemning the mine or placing
it in the ranks of the decadent proper
ties. The high record Of dividends was
made by the Calumet & Hecla in 1889,
when $1O,00O,0OO was disbursed to share
holders in the calendar year. 1t should
be borne in mind, however, that the cal
endar year and the fiscal year of the
Calumet & Hecla are not coterminous,
the G. &, H. year ending on April 80. For
this reason the mine has never paid more
than $S,000,000 in any fiscal year.
The company has expended vast sums in
the opening and equipping of it's new
amygdaloid mine. The Isle Royale COM
pany spent about $1,500,000 in reopening
and equipping it's old mine, and had
about five miles of levels opened under
