Developments In Bank Failure.

Recent developments in the failure of the Arkansas Valley Bank of this city on October II, show that many of the drafts given by Cashier E. E. Wilson to the depositors on the Mer- cantile Trust Company of St. Louis have been returned here unpaid. It appears from a careful inquiry into the cause of the banks closing that the institution has securities on de- posit in the Missouri Lincoln Trust Company of St. Louis, which were not taken over by the Mercantile. Trust Company when the latter cor poration absorbed the Missouri-Lin- coin recently. This was the beginning of the difficulties that resulted in the, closing of the doors of the Arkansas Valley. It is impossible at present to learn the financial status of the insti- tuition. It was incorporated with a capital of $100,000, which amount is said to have been paid iu. If this money has been paid in and on ip- vestigation cannot be properly ac- counted for, serious developments, may result. It is understood that the bank owns between 1000 and 5000 acres of land in Cleburnc county. which is said to be worth $10 an acre. If this is found intact all obligations will be met.

DOG DAYS" ARE
HERE ONCE MORE
Period Brings With It Much
Of ihe Superstition About
the Canine

Don't allow your dogs to run at large
while unmuzzled. for the "dog days, are
here and DOG Catcher George Kopp and
his assistant William Walls, are on the
hunt
Town Councils and commissioners Of
New Castle, Dover and other towns down
the state, inspired by the number OF
CANNES that have been running about and
,apping and snarllng at persons, have
lde DEGREES that will send many hop
less cur to unmarked graves during super
stitious "dtg days"
Whyfor of Dog Days.
It is a myth OF the days OF ancient
Rome that Sirius. the Dog Star, begins
its rise In conjunction with the sun July
3, and that the period OF such coincidence
ends August Il. The Romans believed that
such conjunction brought madness TO
dogs and many strange illnesses to men.
So they called the time between July
and August II the dog days, and the
Pagan priests and votaries had many a
rite and sacrifice warranted to ward of
the seasonal evils Of the term.
Unfortunately for the preservation Of
the superstition, the coincidence Of the
rise OF Sirius with the sun has shifted
with the advance Of the years until It now
begins late in August and ends early in
october. ,t
Somewhat Misplaced.
No one dreams OF considering that
period as the dog days. No one muzzles
painting CANNES in those days of sere and
yellow. Yet they are the days when Sirius
rules and when, according to the old
superstition. the earth should be swathed
in heat as in a blanket
Although the perod has passed on some.
what more than a month, the superstition
remains in its entirety. That is why the
term beginning yesterday and ending a
month and eight days hence viii be
called the dogs days by millions in this
and other lands.

Making ones own ties is a fad just
now among women. Fingers are busy
especially with knitted silk ties that
are being wormwith tailor-made frocks
and riding habits. II the woman who
takes a jaunt in the park these days
is not so busy noting the spring aspect
Of the wayside trees and bushes that
she fails to behold anything else she
will see that many of the girls on
horseback are wearing knitted ties.
But The desire to make them is not
likely to last long, inasmuch as the
