Florida Tourist Receives Tip From
a Crab.

Greenwich. Conn. Aug. 2s.-To be
presented with sure tip of a $1,000
900 find by crab is startling. This,
however, is what J. r. Chard, a
wealthy resident of this city. believes
has happened to him.
Mr.. Chard has been spending the
past month near New Smyrna. Fla.
landed a huge crab. Sticking among
the claws of the crab he found a round
corrugated piece of metal. Mr.. Chard
scraped the piece of metal and discov
cred it was a Spanish doubloon bear
ing the date 1908. Naturally Mr..
Chard's mind sought an explanation of
how crab could pick up this ancient
coin. He reasoned that as the coin
was so large, the crab must have pick
ed it up after he was full grown; and
therefore could not have had it in his
possession a great length of time, and
as the crab does not travel great dis
tances in a short time. the natural de-
duction was that he must have picked
the coin up in the vicinity of New
Smyrna. rr.-
1t is a matter of history that this
coast of Florida was infested with pi-
rates during the early part of the sew
enteenth century. and that many
Spanish vessels laden with gold from
Mexico went to pieces along the coast.
The conclusion was that somewhere
near New Smyrna there now lies,
peaceably hidden from the eyes Of
man, a golden treasure which, II dis
covered would be well worth while.
Mr.. Chard has not been secretive
about his find. and as soon as it was
noised abroad at New Smyrna, great
excitement prevailed. Tales of sunken
treasures along the Florida coast are
as old as the history of America, and
many searching party has vainly en-
deavored to locate these. but never
was a more tangible and feasible tip
received than this crab handed the
Connecticut visitor. Mr.. Chard has
made a careful study OF the early his
tory OF Florida. and after thorough re-
search. is more firmly convinced than
ever that somewhere within a snort
distance of New Smyrna lies the gold
and coins of some Inflated pirate ship.
Mr. Chard states that he is so sure
that he is on the track of great dis
covery, that he is going to make sys-
tematic and careful search for the
wealth, and feels confident that sue
cess will reward his efforts.

QUINCY DISAPPOINTED.
Says MFR. Bryan Didn't Offer Anything
New About Bank Deposits.

Senator Fred H. Quincy of Salina,
author of the guaranty deposit bill
which was introduced at the regular
and special sessions of the legislature,
and beaten by the senate, came to To-
peka Thursday for the express purpose
of listening to Bryan's speech on de-
posit guaranty
Il hoped to hear something new"
said Mr.. Quincy. but L found that
Bryan was simply using the same old
arguments which we used in the legis-
lature for two sessions in an effort to
get our bill passed.
Mr.. Bryan seems to forget that i:
was the Republican party in Kansas
which really started this agitation for
a guaranty deposit law. and that IT
was Senator Bale Waggener, Demo-
crat. of Atchison, who led the fight
against it and accomplished its defeat
in the senate.
Mr.. Bryan probably did not know
that the Democrats of Oklahoma

were working on their constitution.
long before the legislature assembled,
and that their bank deposit law Is
mainly copied right out of the bill
which 1 prepared for the Kansas legis-
lature. Their only material change
was in the provision for compulsory
participation in the benefits of the act.
and 1t is doubtful whether such pro-
vision is constitutional. That question
Is now before the Oklahoma supreme
court for settlement. 1t is highly prob
able that the Oklahoma law will be
knocked out just because of that pro-
vision which the Democrats advocate.
There can be no objection to vol
untary guaranty law from constitu-
tional standpoint, and from a practical
standpoint it is just exactly as effec-
tive as a compulsory law. 1 venture
to say that II a voluntary law is en-
acted. there won't be a town of any
size in Kansas without a guaranteed
bank. I would give a thousand dollars
to know of such a town, for 1 would
put a bank in there, under those con-
ditions.

platform doesn't mean anything, and

know that the plank will do the bust
ness. If the legislature will carry out
the spirit of that plank or the letter of
1t, we will have guaranty deposit law
such as 1 introduced at the last ses-
sion
AN enabling act is necessary to get
this guaranty deposit scheme started
Under the present banking laws of
Kansas, it would be impossible for the
banks of Kansas to enter into a
mutual guaranty of deposits that
would be binding on the bank to pay in
case of loss. For that reason an act
is necessary for the bank to have au-
thority to legally participate in the
guaranty fund. The act is also neces-
sary to give the banking department
authority to supervise the guaranty
plan and it is necessary to authorize
the state treasurer to receive and pay
out the funds. The claim that no act
is necessary is absurd.
Il introduced such an act in the last
regular session of the legislature which
was the same act considered by the
special session last spring, and which
received the endorsement of a large
majority of the house and was only de-
feated in the senate by few votes, the
fight against 1t being led by that able
Democratic statesman, Bale Wag-
gener.

subject the claim that no act of the
legislature was necessary was not

COST OF STATE INSTITUTIONS
Only a Little More Than Last Year.
Net

The state board of control issued a
statement today showing the increase
in the current expenses of the state
charitable institutions during the past
year.
1t shows that while there has been
an increase of about $685. 900 in the ex-
pense of running the nine institutions,
there is $4,000 more balance on hand''
than there was at the end of the last
fiscal year.
The salaries in 1907 amounted to
S229.407; in 1908 they amounted to $3.50
S41, an increase of about SIG. 400
The appropriation for maintenance
and the fees expended for maintenance
in 1907 were s417.156; in 1908 they were
s425.621, an increase of about ss.400.
The unexpended balance in 1907 was
$43.777; in 1908 it was sec, 900.
The board also gave out this state
ment concerning the use of the appro-
priations:
For the fiscal year 1908 the legisla-
ture increased the salary funds $2S,614
and the maintenance funds $4,000 for
the nine state institutions under our
charge. and of this increase We ex-
pended $26 1896 in salaries and sS,471. Is
maintenance. In other words We ex-
pended $34, 90574 more in current ex-
penses for the fiscal year 1908 than we
did for the fiscal year 1907, while the
legislature provided for an increase of
s3S.014. We broadened the field covered
by the institutions and are thus reliev-
ing the counties of the state. We put
in more equipment and facilities to
make the institutions more efficient so
that they could make more cures and
do better work, which is economy in
the long run. We collected more mon
ey for the care of patients and from
the sale of products and closed the year
with an unexpended balance of s67 292 %
in the state treasury in the current
funds of the institutions.
THE legislature also increased the
appropriations for the state education
al. the penal and the other state and
semi-state institutions not under our
charge. The total increased appropri-
ations for current expenses for the
three state educational institutions for
the final year 1908 is three times as
large as the increase for the current
expenses of the nine state institutions
under our charge. The legislature also
appropriated several hundred thousand
dollars more for special improvements
and new buildings for the three state
educational institutions for the fiscal
years 1869 than for our nine institu-
tons

The writer of this article has made
personal Investigations and can vouch
for the following:
During a trip to Wisconsin and by
reason of his vacation visiting the San
itorium at Waukesha, he was attracted
by a conversation between a nurse and
q patient. who apparently was all
packed up ready to leave. The nurse
was trying to persuade him TO try
Muco-Solvent for a bad case of Quinsy
Sore Throat, and the patient. after
some persuasion. consented, with the
result that to the writer's personal
knowledge the patient prolonged his
stay and went away cured, not neglect
ing, however, to take a dozen packages
with him. Further inquiry developed
the fact that in the towns of Madison
and Grantsburg. all in Wisconsin.
Muco-Solvent had most effectually
stamped out the diphtheria plague. In
Grantsburg, for instance. out of its $50
people Diphtheria claimed as it's vic

Wanton waste and thoughtless
destruction are rapidly decimating
the game birds and animals of
America. IL is confined to no
particular section, but is the
propensity of human nature to
destroy regardless of the laws of
nature or man.
Stringent laws passed by states
are disregarded, simply because
of their non enforcement. Gu
ridity finds ready encouragement
to evade repressiye enactments in
both the slayer and the purchaser.
There is but one effectual
remedy for the rigid enforcement
of laws for the protection and
preservation of the few remain
ing game birds and animals in
the several states. That is for
every neighborhood to notify
those who are 'li>pos. d to ignore
or evade the law that they will
be held amenabie for every VIOLA
ton.
There are many wild animals
and game birds in Winn Parish.
and the Police jury has enacted
laws. in addition To those of the
State, to protect the game of the
parish at particular seasons of
year. This is i'm order to secure
their protection from destruction
during the propagation and rear
ing of tn, young animals and
birds. A strong sentiment prevails
to enforce these beneficial enact
ments. Let it become so empha-
sized and accentuated that no
one dare violate them with inn
punity. Frown down and de-
nounce such wantonness. Let
the violator be promptly reported
and punished. Only by the
strenuous upholding of law can it
be made effective.
Sportsmen and those who love
game for the sake of game, have
u paramount interest in this
very important matter. Let both
classes not only refrain from any
violation of these beneficial en-
actments, but see to it that no
one shall defy them with impunity.
