Fort Snelling's new bridge across the

now in use. The board appointed to
examine suggested sites will recommend
this site. The bridge will be $50 feet
shorter than the old one and will enter
the reservation about the middle of the
lawn in front of the present cavalry
barracks. ''
The st. Paul end will cut across an
unused street, which will intersect
Union street to the east, or West Sew

the government will acquire the land
for piers and abutments at the St.

bridge. The government will also take

AN ARKANSAS BANK CLOSED.
Southern Bank and Trust Company At Fort Smith Closes Doors
 Pending Sale.

Fort Smith, March 1-The Southern Bank and Trust Com- pany, a recent corporation with an authorized capital of $500, O0O, failed to open it's doors today.
 A notice was posted to the effect that the bank interests had been sold to Tom Neal, an attorney of Fort Smith, who, 1t was stated, would pay all depos- itors in full,
 The deposits amount to about $80,0OO. The assets consisting of notes, loans, discounts, office fixtures, amount to about a like sum.
 The Southern Bank and Trust Company was a branch of the Southern Bank and Trust Com pany of Dallas, Texas.
 The Southern Bank and Trust Go. was organized less than a year ago by it's president, c. c. Walter of Dallas, Texas.
 Some time ago there was a ru- mor on the street to the effect that none of the authorized capi- tai stock of $6O0,000 had been paid in. It is known that Walter gave bank stock for real estate, which was placed in his own name. As result of these rumors small depositors began withdrawing their money.
 Assignee Neal said today that the failure was due to lack o1 capital, the entire assets of the the bank being made up of the deposits, loans and discounts and the lease on the bank build ing.
 None of the officials of the bank could be seen today. A majority of the board of direc- tors live in Dallas, Texas.

BATTERED BUT CHEERFUL.
A Little Negro Patient at a New YorR Hospital Makes the Doc
 tors Laugh.

Mirth and misery commingle oddly 1t times to tighten the burden of wretchedness and woe which is the lot of the unfortunates who are inmates of the citys great hospitals. A score of wan-faced sufferers were distributed among the neat white cots of medical ward in Bellevue one day when new patient was brought in. He was diminutive eolored man, short, squat, thick-set, black as ebony, with heavy protruding lips and a bullet-shaped head .parsely sprinkled with kinky gray black hair. He said he was George Smith, B years old, and was born in "Loudon county, Virginy, sah.' All was quiet in the ward save an occaslon- al groan from some weary sufferer. when the doctors, four of them, grave faced and dignified, came to examine the new arrival.
 "Well, George, how do you feel ?" asked the house physician, bending over the cot.
 The little darky looked at the doctors aslrance for a moment, rolled his big eyes around, and said mournfully:
 'I'se hungry"
 Have you any pain?" asked the doc GOT.
 No, sah, 'ceptin' I'se hungry"
 Then the doctors proceeded to make the usual examination. In the middle of his back they found criss-cross cicatrix.
 'How did you get this?" the doctor asked.
 "Cow-bunkle," replied the patient. sersely.
 "WhaLs .h.s?" continued the inquis- itor, placing his finger on big depres- sion in the calf of the patients leg.
 "Dorg chawed it," said Smith, apa- thetically.
 A smile fitted across the faces of the doctors and a patient in the next cot forgot to moan. Next the physician found a mass of irregular scars, which looked as if an eight-inch shell had exploded and left it's marks upon the patients face and neck.
 "Explosion?" queried the doctor pointing to the spot. "Mewl kicked me, sa Smlth "llh q you-make- me tired air.
 Even the grave equanimity of the men of medicine was disturbed, and pa tients in adjacent cots laughed out richt. Further examination showed network of scars on his face and neck resembling the tracks in the New York Central freight yards.
 "Razer fite." was Smiths explana tion.
 And where did you get these?" saie the doctor, with an amused smile, lay Ing his fingers on three big welts on the negro's scalp.
