OBLIGATIONS IN FULL UNDER
TERMS OF REORGANIZATION.

NEW YORK, July 2.-Eight
months after the passing of the
financial troubles Of last fall, the
depositors of the dozen banks and
trust companies which closed their
doors have received their money, at
least in part, or in the case of few
which have not reopened or have
gone into liquidation, are about to
receive It. The Hamilton bank,
which was one Of the first institu-
tions in which the attorney gen.
erals department intervened to re-
open, has already anticipated all Of
its deferred payments, which, un-
der the original plan, were to have
extended into November. The
Knickerbocker Trust company,
which was one Of the largest of the
suspended institutions that reopen
ed, like most Of the others, under a
deferred payment plan. anticipated
the iirst two deferred payments on
June 1, paying then 10 per cent. OF
which one-half, under the original
plan, would not have been paid un.
til September The Oriental bank
which was one Of the four to close
Its doors In February, paid its de-
positors on the full preliminary te
liquidation. One Of the other thres
which then suspended. the receiver
-of the National Bank Of .Nortf
America has paid depositors so PEI
cent in dividends, and the receiver
Of the New Amsterdam Nationa
has paid Is per cent.

ASPIRATIONS OF INCOMING 4
WRESTLING CHAMPION.

SEATTLE. July 2.-Frank 0otch
Of Humboldt, Ia, maintained his
right to the worlds catch-as-catch-
can wrestling championship last
night, when he outclassed DR.. B. F.
Roller of Seattle, winning two con-
secutive falls In 10 minutes and Is
seconds and Is minutes and 81 Sec
onds respectively. The men entered
the ring Weighing close to 200
pounds each. Roller may have been
a pound or two heavier. They went
at It like bulls from the start and
Gotch was soon forcing matters. He
worked his notorious toe hold SIX
times in succession In the first bout.
Roller broke away each time, but It
wore on him, and finally Gotch
downed him with a crotch and half
Nelson. Roller did better work In
the second bout. but Gotch was like
q terrier after rat, and went from
bold to hold with startling rapidity.
Rollers best work in this round was
to break a half Nelson and crotch
after seemingly lost. He was finally
picked up and dumped to his shoul-
ders from the same hold.
It is doubtful II he was really
downed. but 1t was only question
OF minutes anyway. as he was At
Gotch's mercy. Eddie Gaffney OF Se-
attic was referee Owing to the high
prices. the crowd was not more than
5000.
| Roller had a slight advantage In
height, but is two years older than
the champion.

BOYS ENJOY a BRIEF LEAVE or,
ABSENCE, AND WILL RETURN
MONDAY.

Camp David Stanley, Wash, Aug.
26. Special Camp Stanley is situ.
ated along the banks of American
lake in Washington, about ten miles
south Of Tacoma. It is very large
tract of ground, comprising thousands
Of acres, and it is certainly an ideal
place to carry on war maneuvers. In
the vicinity Of our camp the grounds
are intersperssd with magnificent ce-
dar and spruce trees. They are sur
rounded on the north and west by vir-
gin forests and on the east and south
by American lake.
Upon our arrival here we, of course,
began unloading our baggage and
pitching tents: The boys worked with
vim, and BY noon Of Tuesday, the
18th inst, our tents were all pitched
and we were ready for the fray. &
From comments made by several
of the officers of the regular army
who were on the grounds at that time,
the North Dakota boys did much bet

They Fiogged Men Who Grew Too Fat
For Military Service.
Among the ancient Spartans every
thing was considered secondary to mil
itary efficiency, and with view to Sc
curing this the boys and men were by
law kept in continual state Of ''train-
ing" No deformed child was allowed
to live. Boys were taken from their
homes and subjected to military regu-
lations at the age of seven. They were
compelled to wear the same single gar
ment winter and summer. At twenty
they Joined the ranks and from that
age till they reached sixty were re-
quired to dine at the public tables,
where only certain quantity was sup
piled for each man. The magistrates
interfered in absurdly small matters.
They regulated the degree of fatness to
which it was lawful for any citizen to
extend his body. ..T
Those who dared to grow too fat OF
too soft for military service and exer-
else were sometimes soundly fogged,
Aelian in his history relates that
Nauclis, son of Polytus, was brought
before the ephors (magistrates) and the
whole assembly Of Sparta, and ''his un.
lawful fatness" was publicly exposed
and he was threatened with perpetual
banishment if he did not bring his
body within the regular Spartan com.
pass and give up the culpable mode
Of living. which was declared to be
more worthy of an Ionian than {
Spartan.

Clock and Match Freaks.

"A watch isn't exactly dirty when it
requires cleaning" says matchmaker.
"It may need cleaning when it hasn't
even been worn.
"a common cause of this is that the
oil in the works has dried up and be-
come sticky, causing the watch to go
slow Or even to stop. In this case it
not only wants cleaning, but also the
addition of fresh Oil.
s"The best oil for this purpose is OBJ
tanned from the jawbone of a porpoise
or kindred fish. Many watchmakers
mix their own Oil from various kinds.
"Clocks also stop for no apparent
reason. During a thunderstorm, for
instance, clock may stop, only resum-
ing work when minutes, days or even
weeks have passed.
'Thunderstorms, again, have been re-
sponsible for the restarting of old
clocks which have apparently retired
altogether from active ervice."-Lon.

JOSIE M'COY FINED.
is CINCHED FOR KEEPING A
HOUSE OF ILL FANIE-CORREs-
PONDENT KICKS ON MONEY
GOING INTO SCHOOL FUND.

Medora, N. D., Aug. 27.-Special
to Tribune. The second act Of the
Marmarth farce was up on the stage
here this morning, when Josie Nc
Coy, chief Rhodopis of Marmarth,
was brought into Justice Nichols
court and fined $50 and costs. This
for the crime Of keeping a Rhodopis
house in Marmarth.
Just stop and think of it one mo-
ment. The school fund Of the great
state of North Dakota is enriched in
the sum Of $50, being the proceeds Of
the poor harlot's prostitution. What
a commentory this is on our Christ
ian civilization! Just stop with me
for one moment, you Christian moth
ers, and think the matter over; that
this $50 will be used in helping to
educate your children; and after you
have thought it over go to your
church and place ten cents in the
contribution box for the benefit of
foreign missions. To us who are of
a different belief, this all appears
logical; we accept $50 of the proceeds
Of the poor tarlot's prostitution, and
then place fifty cents in the box to
aid in carrying the gospel to the poor
heather. Does anyone think it very
strange that the educated heathen
makes us laughing stock in his
club?
That such places as that kept by
Josie Mccoy in Marmarth have ex-
listed in all historical time we will
admit also that they will exist until
time shall be no more, we believe.
Such a great authority as Caesar
Lombroso, classes inmates of such
places as criminals, moral peryerts,
and insane. If he is correct, just
think of the great state Of North
Dakota accepting money earned in
such a way, and by such people, as
a part of it's school funds.
What would we do with such
places? Either close them up, OF. if
allowed to run, let the poor creatures
keep their i'll gotten gains.

WHAT IS Il DAY7
You Probably Think It is Twenty four
Hours, but 1t Isn't.

You Probably Think It is Twenty four
Hours. but 1t isn't.
Nine persons out of ten-yes, 900 out
Of every L,00o-if asked how long It
takes the earth to turn once on its
axis would answer twenty -four hours,
and to the question, How many times
does It turn en ita axis in the course
Of the year2 the anRWer would be
e651z times. Both answers are wrong.
It requires but twenty three hours
and ffty-six minutes for the earth I'd
make one complete turn, and it makes
366A turns during the year. The err
ror springs from wrong idea of what
is meant by day.
The day Is not, as is commonly sup
posed, the time required by the earth
to make one turn on its axis, but the
interval between two successive pas
sages Of the sun across the meridian
that is to say, the time which elapses
after the sun is seen exactly south in
its diurnal course through the heavens
before it is again seen in that position.
Now, in consequence Of the earth's
revolution In its orbit or path round
the sun, the sun has the appearance
Of moving very slowly in the heavens
in a direction from east to west. At
noon tomorrow the sun will be short
distance to the east of the point in the
heavens at which it is seen at noon
today, so that when the earth has
made one complete turn it will still
have to turn four minutes longer be-
fore the sun can again be seen exactly
south.

Brides and Wet Weather.

A Breton bride rather likes to have a

she will therefore have a happy mar

The Era Of Simbirsk call the day
before the wedding the weeping day,
and the bride and her girl friends weep
all they can, with the idea, it would
seem, of getting the mourning of life
over so that only, joy may remain.
