London, March 2S-There are over 49,
600 permanent American residents in
London. That seems large number
when taken as a whole, but individually
they require lot of finding in this huge
human beehive. l do not take into ac-

The first Chinese woman to take a
diploma in medicine and surgery, and also
the first women from China to write for
medical journals and take the platform
as a lecturer. is DR.. Yamet Kin, who has
recently located in San Francisco. She
has practiced her profession in Japan and
China, where she founded hospital; she
has enjoyed social life at Washington,
and she has written a book on micro
photography which Is regarded as val
liable addition to the literature on the
subject. BY this it will be seen that she
has viewed the world from many stand

a declaration Of the Order of the Rising

West Superior. Wis, April 5.--The citi-
zens' committee of the Commercial club,
which has in mind the matter Of looking
UP illegal bills and unlawful acts in con-
nection with the city and county govern
ment, has on hand number of PROPOSE
lions that promise to make the next few
months interesting in regard to county
affairs.
IT. l.. Mcintosh, attorney for the citi-
Zens' committee, to-day started work on
the investigation OF bills of Sheriff Som
mer for the fifteen months that he has
been in office. This is the result of the
recent decision Of the supreme court Of
the state that the sheriff is on a salary of
$1,000 per year as result of the once
passing a resolution placing the Sheriff
on salary basis instead of on fee basis.
The court held that the county board,
after having once adopted the salary sys-
tenn, could not go back to the fee system
legally. This brings cut in the office Of
sheriff and his compensation from fees
ranging anywhere from $4,000 to $35 900
year to the salary Of $1,000 year.. No;
deputies are allowed and there is practi-
cally no compensation for travel unless
there is a guarantee when the sheriff
starts out that he knows where the pris-
oner is and whether he is sure of getting,
him. The decision makes it so that it is
impossible to get witness from another
state. But as result of the decision in
the case against former Sheriff Snyder,
the committee will start suit against
Sheriff Sommer to have an accounting
with him and have paid back all except
the $1,000 and fees that he is legally en-
titled to. While work was started to-,
day, it will be several weeks before the
suit can really be commenced. 81
Attorney Mcintosh will shortly prose-
cute Joe Naughton and Thomas Clark on
charges Of attempting to defraud the
county. Both men were arraigned in the
superior court before Judge Smith late
yesterday afternoon. Naugnton is
charged with having forged the name of
Wesley Jones to a counterfeit bill for
lumber alleged to have been furnished the
county. Clark is charged with having,
perjured himself in swearing to road
bills against the county that are now al
legged to have been fraudulent Both of
the men pleaded not guilty and trials will
he held soon.

] AN IMPORTANT RULING.
Treasury Department Improves Meth.
DDS Of ENDORSING Checks.


Washington. April 23.-One Of the
naast important decisions made in
years in the treasury department has
been announced and will be welcomed
Dy the business men of the country
as abollshing an annoyance that had
persisted in connection with govern
ment business. Heretofore the gov
eminent has insisted, through the SUBJ
treasures, that all government checks
ana warrants not only must be fully
and completely endorsed in the regu-
lar way, but also must be ACCOMPANIED
py a certificate showing the authority
OF the endorser to so endorse the
cneck. This has frequently given rise
10 vexatlous delay and sort of red
tape which has annoyed bankers and
business men everywhere. The gov
eminent heretofore has not deemed
ordinary endorsements accepted by
banks as sufficient unless accompa-
MED by this certificate of authority
TO endorse: By ruling of the depart
ment sub-treasurers throughout the
country will hereafter pay government
warrants and checks when endorsed.
and endorsement guaranteed by the
banks presenting the same for pay
ment. This reduces the proposition
TO one OF simple business caution, and
hereafter the government will pay
warrants much as cautious business
man or banker would pay similarly
endorsed paper.
