REPORT OF THE CON-
DITION
OF LATE MILTON BANK

People Who Gould III

the Milton bank, made his report to
the court as follows:
Cash on hand, all sources. 81, ,O4O01
Uncollected Notes, etc.. 3,336.37
Sale Of property, etc ...... 1900
Against the assets there were 138
claims aggregating SIG, ,52986.
The report says that all
claims were allowed, excepting
the claims Of Lydia A. Bragg
81, 6500-and the Union National
bank = $2,050.00 = concerning which
there was not sufficient information to
allow the claims at this time.
The following claims were not al
lowed:
Dan Stewart Co, indianapolis. S 9253
O. E. Fulghum, Richmond. :. 1854
Flora Ferguson, Milton ... 1882

1t will be seen that the cash re-
ceipts equal about sixty-six per cent.
of the claims.
1t viii also be observed that the
claims aggregate from $166 to $2,-
O5O00, forty Of which are for less
than $1,000. showing a large number

dren and poor persons who could Ill
afford to lose any amount.

POLO FOR NEW CASTLE.

It is possible, when polo becomes a
dead issue in Anderson, Richmond,
Muncie, Indianapolis and surround
ing towns, that New Castle will get
a stir on herself and organize team.
Everyone who sees this game goes
wild over it, and New Castle has peo-
pie who regularly attend the games.
These games at Richmond, etc., are
always well attended by people from
towns and would be here
if New Castle had team. OF course,
it is too late to organize team here
for this season, but wouldn't it be well
for lovers of the sport here to begin
thinking about next season? Why
should New Castle, who is up in the
front in everything else, be a back
number when it comes to sports ?
Let's take brace. New Castle

On November 8, 1900, an English

Of his death at the Retreat there:
"Oxford, o., Jan. 21.-Valentine

died Wednesday afternoon at the Ok
ford Retreat of paresis. He came to
this country from his home, Terrace
Park, London, England, about six
years ago, and, up to three years ago,
played in several prominent theatrical
companies on the road. His mental
trouble first became apparent at Ma
rion, Ind, and he was sent to the
Richmond, Ind, insane asylum. His
mother, who is we'll to do, came to-
this country upon hearing Of her son s
affection, and placed him in the Re
treat here. McKinzie' s stage name
was Val Valentine. He had a brother
Harry, a minstrel, who died in this
country about a year ago. The re-
mains will be shipped to London for

BILLY EARLE
Married in Havana, Cuba Re-
Gently.

The following from yesterdays
Cincinnati Enquirer will be read with
interest here. Billy Earle was cap
tain and catcher Of the Entire Nous
baseball team here for a few seasons:
"Married, by Rev. Todd, at Ha-
vana, January II, William NJ. Earle,
Of Philadelphia, to Miss Anna Mid
dleton, of New Orleans. - Earle has
been officiating in the baseball games
played on the island between the ALL
Americans and the Cuban teams. He
appeared late at a game last week,
and gave illness as an excuse for his
tardiness. His friends were agree
ably surprised when they learned of
his marriage today, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Earle were the recipients of many
valuable gifts and hundreds of con-
gratulations.
That is a clipping from the Havana
Post, which reached Redland yester-
day. This is the Globe Trotter's sec
ond plunge into the matrimonial
waters. His first wife was Cincin-
natl girl. Earle is very popular in
Havana, but will return to manage

ROOSEVELT'S
MARRIAGE
Register is in St. Georges S
Hanover Square, London.

President Roosevelt's marriage reg
ister is in London. at st. Georges,
Hanover Square, and so many Ameri-
can tourists have focked to see it
that, for convenience sake, it has been
placed by itself in an accessible al
cove of the old church building. Pres
ident Roosevelt's marriage to Miss
Carew took place so long ago-seven-
teen years ago, to be exact-that few
persons remember that the American
President was married in foreign
land. He is, it is said, the only Amer
lean President whose wedding was
not celebrated under tire stars and
stripes.

WILL COME TO WATERFOWL
Prof. BurcaIow Takes an Inter-
est in the Insurance
= Business.

A deal was consummated Friday
afternoon whereby Prof. w. ID. Bur
calow takes half interest in the insur-
ance business which has heretofore
been conducted by o. ID. Stevens. Prof.
Burcalow has purchased outright a one
half interest.
This move on the part of Mr.. Bur.
calow means that he will move his
family to WATERFOWL from their pres
ent location at Webster, where for
several years past he has been giving
the best satisfaction as principal of the
city schools. He has, however, decided
to abandon public instruction and work
ont his salvation in the business world,
where, no doubt, his ability and energy
will bring a large measure of success.
The people of Waterfowl will gladly
welcome Mr.. and Mrs. Burcalow to
Watertown. Prof. Burcalow was the
principal of the Watertown high schools
for two years and in that capacity was
a member of the faculty which piloted
the class of 1901 through the shoals of
high school life. AS such he enjoyed
the good will and high regard of the
students. His wife is a daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. w N. Mcintyre, Of this city,
and has innumerable friends in the city.
Their return here will be warmly well
coined. WATERFOWL Public Opinion.

Though once the reptiles were bigger
than the mammals. as time went on the
latter grew in size and the reptiles de-
creased. The exact reason Is not known
though many theories have been put
forward. While some types have per-
sisted down the ages. and families have
gone on producing forms similar to
these now found though with slight
alterations and adaptations. others have
become really extinct. Examples Of the
latter are the dinosaurs, thermophs,
scthyosaurs. pleisiosaurs and the -four

City Prison.

The British took possession about
year ago Of the large city of Kano
in tho western Soudan, whose Emlr
had refused to abide by the treaty
which had placed its territory in the

who seized the city. has written a de-

EmIr kept his prisoners. states the

When he visited the dungeon he
squeezed his way into il through a
doorway only two feet six inches high
and one foot six inches wide The in
terror was divided by a thick mud
wall with a similar hole through it
into two compartments. each II by 7
on the floor and II feet high.
This wall was pierced with holes at
It's base. through which the legs of
those sentenced TO death were thrust.
and they were left to be trodden on
by the crowd Of other prisoners till
they died of thirst and starvation
The place was perfectly alright
and without ventilation except for the
hole in the wall which served as a
doorway The total space inside was
2.61S cubic feet and when Lugard's
troops took Kano 1876 persons we're
confined in this dungeon every night.
During the day they were turned out
into a small adjoining area. Some
times as many as 200 persons were
packed into the dungeon at one time.
AS the ground area was only 23s
square feet. there was not even stand
ing room except by literally packing
the prisoners like sardines In a box
Several Of them were crushed TO death
every night and their bodies we're
hauled out in the morning
