Treasurer's Action Causes Confusion

Treasurer's Action Causes Confusion.
The decision of State Treasurer Nc.
MILAN not to issue money from the
school fund In payment for institution
bonds has caused a great deal of con-
fusion at many of the institutions. At
all of the institutions engagements
are needed, and 1t was for the pur-
pose of securing these that the law
was passed permitting the institutions
to bond. At Wahpeton a new school
Of science was to have been built, and
the institution was to have been bond.
ed. as we're all the others. Now the
plans are in suspense, and no one is
able to tell whether the building will
be constructed this year or not. At
the insane asylum there was q similar
condition, but there the trustees have
not suspended operations, but have let
the contract for new buildings since
the opinion Of the treasurer was made
known.

Prophetic Dreams.

The belief In prophetic dreams Is not
entirely superstition, according to
the results obtained by two members
Of the French institute. They point
out that at night when the senses are
at rest the brain is affected particular
ly by organic feelings in various parts
of the body and that early symptoms
of advancing diseases give particular
direction to the dreams. A familiar IN.
stance is nightmare, which Indicates o
dyspeptic condition. 4mmoderate drink
ers see rats, snakes and insects In their
dreams before the actual outbreak Of
delirium remens, and so on.

Acid for 4 Fever Mixture.

Edith Robertson, aged twelve years,
daughter of William Robertson Of
Bathgate, was accidentally poisoned
by carbolic acid and died. She was
suffering from scarlet fever, and the
acid was kept for disinfecting pur-
poses. The great anxiety, loss Of sleep
and alarm affecting the mother
seems to account for the fatal over.

acid instead Of fever mixture, and
though the error was at once detect
ed and medical aid promptly secured,
the fatal result could not be pre-.
vented. The parents are broken

precedented.
London, May 1.-THE success of
the Transvaal loan was unprecedent-
ed, both as regards the aggregate sub.
scribed and the number Of applica-
tions. 1t Is said that the individual
subscriptions for $500 and under were
alone sufficient to cover the loan. The
estimates of the amount subscribed
range from $6,000,000,00O to $780,.
100000. The Rothschilds applied for
$450,000.000, Panmure & Gordon for
$25o,o00,ooo, the Credit Lyonnaise for
$780, 100000, the Dresdener bank for
100000 and the Deutsche bank
for $125, 100000. No large individual
American applications are reported.
The amount of money tied up makes
the money market very stiff, but early
allotments and the return of checks
are expected to relieve the market.
