probable. There was little room in
Mary Todd's excitable, undisciplined
temper for so cool and calculated a plan.
Far more probable does it seem to us that
an overmastering affection, repudiated,

the arms Of the man who had so deeply
offended. And in those'frenzied ebulli-
lions which tormented his and her best
years, 'darkening at last a mind unbal-

of passionate love-of a love which Lin

Question About State Interest Still

The state depository law is hung up
in the senate committee on banks and
banking and so far those interested in
the disposition of funds in the hands
of the state treasurer have held the
bills up and prevented their being
presented to the senate.
The committee on banks and bank
ing, of which Senator Fulton IS chair
man, is about ready to prepare bill
to be presented to the senate and rec
commended for passage, which will be
the bill of the committee The COM
mittee has agreed unanimously that
the provision of the bill that not less
than five banks and not more than ten
banks shall hold the general and per-
manent state funds shall be changed
to require that the funds shall be dis
tributed among at least ten banks
and not to limit the number of banks
that can hold the funds on deposit
The other point over which there is
some dispute is the time when the bill
shall go into effect The banking
committee favors May, 1905, as the
date for the law to begin operation,
while Speaker Stubs, and other adj
ministration leaders, demand that the
date be made May, 1905. May, 1906,

One member of the banking COM
mittee of the senate said: 1.-The state

$500 to $4,000 a year in interest
paid by banks for the funds on de-
post. I feel certain that the state
funds are worth this annually to the
state. Many country banks pay 2 per
cent on county funds on deposit
There is no reason why the state
should lose this $4,000 to $4,000 dur
ing the coming year. do not be-
lieve that there will be much more
delaying in presenting the state de-
pository bill to the senate. The com
of the bill already presented, and I
think that the bill recommended by
the senate committee will be passed
by the senate. I think there is no
doubt that the senate will pass a state
depository law"
It is expected that the senate com

ing laws providing that the funds of
each county shall be placed on deposit
in the banks of the county, and draw
interest, and remain there until

The verse mentioned something about
the negro trying to break into society,"
and advised him to fumigate. On the
side of the fright was written in pencil:
