contracted to write what Were then
known as "walk-arounds." This name
was applied to the concluding act of a
minstrel performance. being song
and dance for the entire troupe. It
was while employed in this capacity
that Emmett wrote the immortal pix

The following account of the song
is supplied by Gustave Kobbe:
"On Saturday night. September Il.
1853. after the performance, one of the
Bryants told Emmett that a new walk
around was wanted in time for he

STARTLING PROOF

SUCCESS
FOR FAIR WEEK.
Especial to The sentinel.J

Muskogee, Okla, Sept 19.-When
the advocates of the Oklahoma bank
currency law passed the law they
claimed that II would bring forth
from its hiding and place in circula-
tion vast amount OF money that
was hidden away in private places
and had been there long before the
panic came on
A striking illustration of the cor
rectness of the theory occurred at
Ardmore few days ago.
A farmer who lived within few
miles OF Ardmore came into one of
the guaranteed banks and asked
searching questions of the banker
relative to the operation of the guar
anty law. After satisfying himself
that his money would be absolutely
protected. he produced a small pack
age wrapped in coarse Drown paper
and inside was $500 iu gold. He
poured the money out ON the cash
ier's table. and. as he did SO he re-
marked that It was the first time
he had seen a dollar of il for ten
years, He had had the money
wrapped up in the same package that
length of time.
when II was explained to him that
If he had kept the money out at in
terest all the time he had II MAIDEN
away that 1t would have doubled it
self. he replied that he did not care
as much about IL increasing in value
as he did about its safety
When he was told that the time
deposit of one year which he made
would draw per cent interest on
the money he at once wanted to
know whether the acceptance of the
interest would invalidate the guar
antee of the deposit.
The old farmer said that he had
been told long ago that no bank kept
as much money as was deposited
with il, and. while. If all the depos-
itors called for their money at once,
they could not get 1t. it was also true
that If one called and did not get
his money, he could put the bank In
the hands of a receiver. and, while
the bank might pay out, 1t would
take a long time for a depositor to
get his money out.
II was this system, he said, that
led TO his distrustfulness of banks,
and not that he thought bank OIL
cials were dishonest.

up to the ravages of typhoid

When the patient has not already
taken to his bed there is no need
of his having to do so, as my treat
ment will soon dissipate the trouble.
Even if the disease is we'll ad-
vanced, it may not be necessary for
me to see him, only to have a clear
description of his case by one who
has been in attendance, when l can
send the required medicines, with di-
rectionS and advice, which, II faith
fully followed, will be sufficient.
But, if the patient is in grave dan
ger, it will be necessary for me to
see him once or more.
Even those cases given up by 9TH

fidence, as among the hundreds which

coed eight days from my first visit.

Helena, March 9.-Three opinions
were handed down by the supreme
court today. The first affirmed the
judgment of the district court of Vel
lowstone county in the case Of the
state against Connors, convicted on
the charge Of criminal assault. The
second was an affirmation Of the dis
trict court Of Fergus county In the
suit OF Hopkins against Kits, an ac-
tion instituted for the collection OF an
amount alleged to be due on account.
The more important decision was
that Of Hauser and Allen. as executors
Of the will Of Ellen T. Hauser, against
Sidney Miller, as clerk Of the court,
involving the right Of the latter to
collect $95 for the filing fees Of an
inventory Of the estate. The opinion
was written by Chief Justice Brantly
and in brief holds that the clerk may
not exact extra fees for such service.
The clerk sought to make the extra
charge-$5 being the normal consid-
Grafton because the inventory show
ed that the estate amounted to $117.-

the district court on an agreed state
ment Of facts, and the finding favored
