the value of a deposit slip. A we'll
known woman. on a certain day, de-
posted a sum in checks and money in
her bank. Unfortunately she was
careless enough to leave her bank book
at home and when she obtained 1t la
ter, after the monthly "write-up," no
record of this transaction appeared.
She at once notified the bank and a
search revealed the fact that they had
her deposit slip properly made out but
had credited the money to another par
ty of the same The mistake
was rectified at once, with prOfuse
apologies, but it serves as an instance
to show how mistakes a happen even
in the best banks, ard how depositors
should be particular to use the slips
and, when possible, have the entry
made at once ON the pass book.

who owed me. l deposited 1t in my
bank and later the mans check was
returned, as he had no funds in his
bank. My bank had in the meanwhile
credited me with the amount and
wrote to me to make it good. How
can l do this ?"-Ignorance.
There are two ways in which your
bank can be paid back. The bank can
charge the amount of the dishonored
check against you, or you can give the
bank a check for the amount. At any
rate the bank will demand a refund,
and it is right that it should, for in
stead of waiting to ascertain if the
check were good, they accommodated
you by entering the amount to your
credit. The dishonoring of a check is
an injury to the drawer and hurts his
reputation as a man of honor and in
tegrlty.

HOUSE.

The bill introduced IN the house sew
eral days by Representative Stegall,
for the relief of the town of Pontotoc
and the resumption of traffic on the Mo-
bile, Jackson and Kansas City railroad,
passed the house today by an over
whelming majority, only seven members
voting against 1T.
The House passed bills appropriating
to the Oyster Commission the sum OF
$4,000 for two years to build up the
,yster industry; to the State Unlver-
ity, S45, 900 for the erection of Science
dali and a support fund of 100000 for
two years; to. the hospital at Natchez,
1000, and $4,000 to a similar institu-
ton at Meridian; to the State Board
of Health, $4,000, and $4,000 support
fund; to defray the expenses of litiga-
ton against the Illinois Central Rail
road BY the Railroad Commission, S40O
to each of the Code Commissioners,
81, 900; and authorizing the Governor,
in addition to what TIE State Board
received, to borrow $4,000 if needed
at any time to cope with contagious

In revising all the laws concerning
dram-shops throughout the State the
House adopted a Senate amendment
prohibiting all females from entering or
buying liquor in saloons; requiring all
saloons to be closed after midnight and
not to open until five in the morning;
penalizing the sale of patent medicines,
which if drank to excess would produce
intoxication, and placing a heavier fine
on the second offense under the dram
shop law. All of these are new features
to the present law governing saloons.
Mr.. Stevens offered an amendment
making it a misdemeanor for intoxicat-
ing liquors to be stored in ice plants,
storage rooms, ETC., saying that IN ms
own city young men were led to evil
ways by having a key of beer in ice
plants.
Mr.. Arnold spoke against the amend
ment, saying it was too drastic and that
it would make any man who had q
bottle of whisky in his wardrobe a
criminal.
The, amendment was Withdrawn by
Mr.. Stevens.
Mr.. Samples measure to make lob
bying a misdemeanor failed to pass,
several members arguing that the pres
ent resolution was sufficient for a prac-
ticable purpose.

TEe trouble. as We gather from tn
lates' issue of the Little Already Argus,
began about three weeks ago. when the
startling news leaped out that Ezra
Joyce. superintendent of the pumping
station. had bought a barrel of gaso-
line on the villages account, paying
cash for it, and afterwards had served
it to the village at a profit to himself
of $l.35. AS Editor Denney of the
Argus declares, in a double-headed edi-
torial, ITO what a spectacle has free
government by the people been per-
verted."
A committee of inquiry has been APP
pointed by the village board to investi-
gate the affairs of the pumping sta
ton, and it is broadly limited that all
other human affairs in Little Already
will be subjected to the same search
light of inquiry. "The truth must be
told though the heavens fall" declares
Editor Denney-an admirable senti-
meut pithily expressed.
The motto of the Little Already Ar
gus is: "Hew to the Line, Let the
Chips Fall Where They May" The pa
per promises to be intensely interest
ing from 10 on:
In the books you read nowadays you
may have observed the "u" in such
words as ''humour," "labour," "misde-
meanour." etc. You see. English pub
fishers won't buy the plates of Ameri-

American spelling. So you will not see

atrocities in Il published literature.

Elbow will l know which window to

ton that will help in counting my
money at the bank?"-A Deposition.
The departments at a bank are al
way plainly marked and the words
Receiving Teller" ard Paying Tel
Ter" show exactly where to go to de-
post and receive money. Many per-
sons imagine that banking hours are
short and that business on that ac-
count is easy. The contrary is the
case, for often bookkeepers spend
hours rectifying mistakes. For this
reason, and because her own time
should be valuable, the ~considerate
woman will count her money before
leaving home, will have checks and
bills separated for depositing and will
keep deposit slips at ZONE SO that she
can enter her money on the slip and
have it ready to be handed in immedi-
ately on reaching the bank. 1t is al
ways best to call early at a bank, for
there is an accumulation of business
near the closing hours.

that there will be any strike on October %.
as contemplated. This became evident yes
terday when Grand Master P. H. Morrissey
of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
arrived in Chicago with some discouraging
reports.
He pointed out that only about 10000 of
the switchmen of the country would re-
spond to a strike order issued by the
switchmens union. and that. therefore, the
movement would be doomed to failure.
'Of the 1900 men engaged in switching
our brotherhood controls % 800" said Mr.
Morrissey. (which would leave allowing for
the unorganized men, a minority who may
be depended on to go out"
Mr.. Morrissey added that he took little
stock in the rumors being circulated to the
effect that a great tie-dp OF railroad bust
ness was in prospect
Movements such as this one must be
conducted slowly and conservative1y," he
said. For some time the Brotherhood of
Trainmen has been preparing to make an
appeal for higher wages and an eight-hour
day for its swftchmen members. Our plan
of action is fully formulated, but we are
not going to rush into trouble"
