stricken. After the rat once made his
appearance every girl imagined it
was right under her bench. A scream
from any one of them was enough and
all would jump on the bench and
tremble.
1t was shortly after II O'Clock and
the girls had just commenced to eat
their lunch in the cloakroom when
one of them spied the rat. She jumped
on a chair and was followed by the
rest Of the girls. Their scream
brought all the other employees and
they gave chase.

would like to know if it is not pos
sible to get q house fumigated prompt
" after a case of contagious disease

children. One of the children had
diphtheria and was pronounced all
right last Wednesday. The attending
physician told me Wednesday morning
TO notify the health officer to fumigate
the house, which | did. He had not
done so up to Friday night, at which
time / met him on the street and asked
him why he had not done it. He said
that | had insulted him and If it was
not on a public street he would punch
my face. He said that [ would have
to wait until he got ready. He finally
sent a man (today) Saturday to fumi-
rate and this afternoon another of my

DEVLlN WRECKED
KANSAS CITY BANK
But Besides Ills Notes Bank
Held Other Bad
Paper.
LARGE DEPOSITS ARE WITHDRAWN

Kansas City, July 20.-The City Ma
tional bank failed to open its doors
today. The bank held checks Of C. j..
Devlin Of Topeka for upwards of $780,
900, and its failure is the direct result
OF that of the First National bank of
Topeka, of which Devlin was the prin-
cipal stockholder. The City National
bank had a capital of $3O0,000 and
deposits of nearly million and half.
The bank was closed by e. e. Ames,
bank examiner, under instructions
from the comptroller of the currency.
The comptroller yesterday, 1t is as
serted, informed the officers of the
bank that 1t must take up 5000 900 of
bad paper Immediately or 1t would not
be permitted to open today.
The bank was examined last night
10y a committee of local bankers who
reported at the meeting early today
that the affairs of the bank were in
such shape that they would not feel
justified in extending assistance.
Although the holding of Devlin pa.
per, upon which no immediate realiza.
ton could be made. was the prime
cause OF the failure, 1t was stated that
general knowledge that the bank
held other bad paper and was in bad
condition, had led TO a gradual with.
drawal of deposits during several
months. These Withdrawals in the
last sixty days amount to $4,000

CANADIAN AND
MEXICAN Line
Between Montreal and Tam.
pico. Subsidized By Both
Governments.
SAILED ITS FIRST STEAMER

Montreal, Quebec, July 2O.-Ihe
new CanadianMexican steamship
service was inaugurated today, when
the steamship Coomassie, subsidized
by the Canadian and Mexican govern
ments, sailed from the port for Mex
leo by way of Havana. The new serv
ice is to be maintained by the Elder
Dempster company.
The contract of the company calls
for a monthly service. The steam
ships will touch at Charlottetown, p
E. l., Halifax, n. S., Havana, Cuba,
and Progreso, Vera Cruz, Tampico
and one or two other Mexican ports
Ihe winter service will be operated
direct from Halifax.
By the terms of the contract with
the Mexican government, boats may
carry cargoes and passengers from
Canada to Cuba. Cargoes and passen.
gers are TO be carried both ways be.
tween Mexico and Canada, but on
northbound trips no freight may be
handled from Cuba to Canada. The
Mexican government objected to sub
sidiZing line that would be used TO
build up trade between Cuba and Can
ada.
1t was expected that simultaneously
with the establishment of the Atlantic
service, a similar steamship on the
Pacific coast between Vancouver and
Mexican Pacific ports would be in
augurated. The Mexican government,
however, has decided 10 postpone for
the present, the establishment of such
a service.
