A Wealthy Soldiers Idea.

Secret Society Among sese Islandera

Secret Society Among sese islanders
 The Sese islanders have attained peculiar notoriety in Uganda because of secret society called the Bachichj, which is not a burial society, although It's members take a deep and intelli- gent interest in all deaths and burials in their midst. In the more retired vil- lages. although greatly discouraged by the British authorities, 1t is said to be still the custom for the sorrowing rel atives to bear the body of the deceased wrapped in bark on rough bier to some forest thicket, desolate ravine or other unfrequented spot, where 1t ls left unburied by the bearers, who nev. CT revisit the place again. The Bachi- chi. who are denizens of neighborins village, and distant relatives of the deceased avoid the necessity of burial or cremation and show their respect for the deceased by simply eating him.

Fourteenth Century Doctors.

Synge's Social Life in England" quotes number of fourteenth century hints to success for physicians:
 Suppose you know nothing, say there is an obstruction of the liver. Perhaps the patient will say, May, master, it Is my head or legs that trouble me" Repeat that 1t comes from the liver and especially use the word "obstruc, tion," for patients do not understand 1t, which is important.
 Never dine with a patient who has not paid you. It will be cheaper to get your dinner at an inn, for such feasts are usually deducted from the surgeons fee.
 When you are treating a wound or accident, the friends of the patient should be excluded, for they may faint and cause disturbance, but some times higher fee may be got from persons present fainting and breaking their heads against wood and the like than from the principal patient.

CITIZENS BANK
 FILES AN ANSWER
Trustee In Bankruptcy Case Brought
 Suit for $S,59O.2O.

An answer was filed yesterday in the case of w. c. Hudson, trustee for Wolf-Nichols, against che Citizens Rank of Pine Bluff in the Unite i S'ates District Court. In the suit the trustee asks judgment for SS,- -oO.20.
 Wolf Nichols operated the Wolf ,,;;ic,ols Dry Goods Company of Pine Bluff and several months ago became bankrupt. After he filed petition in 6,:nkruptey, an investigation disclos- ed that his assets were not nearly IS large as his creditors supposed. Then it developed that the bankrupt had male considerable payments to the Citizens Bank of Pine Bluff on notes which that institution held.
 ". c. Hudson, the trustee in bank ruptcy, on May filed suit in the district court against the hank for sS 590.20, which he ayers is the ag- yregate amount of these payments. He charges that during November and December, when these payments were made to the bank, Wolf Nichols was bankrupt within the purview of tho Bankruptcy law. The trustee charges that the payments were therefore fl audulent and that, the estate of the bankrupt is therefore entitled to the return of the sum.

 Blanks Being Prepared.
 Little Rock, May 2t.--Members of the Arkansas Tax Commission yes terday afternoon called on Auditor John R. ,,obe and secured from him the state blanks for the making out of assessments on improvements to real estlte.
 A form for the blanks was left with the auditor and he will have the blanks in the hands of the assessors ly assessing time.
 The Commission, in examining the looks of the assessors of the state, found that too little attention was raid to the improvements made since ieal estate assessments of the year previous. It was discovered that as- sessors were never supplied with the blanks for such assessments, making the notes on tablets from time to time when any assessments were made, and in this way certified it to the county clerk The commission be- lieves that with regular blanks the attention of the assessor will at all times be called to the matter of property improvements and many thousands of dollars in taxes will consequently find their way into the treasury of the state.

The Illinois Parole Law Invalid.

The Illinois state supreme court mas
as known handed down a decision to
the effect that the Illinois parole law
is unconstitutional, and that the dis
charges from the state penitentiary
on parole are illegal.
The decision declares that the board
of pardons has no power whatever to
discharge prisoners, but that the pro-
visions of the original act of 1895,
as amended in 1897, are still in force,
that any parole or discharge granted
by the pardons board, is void because
the board can recommend only a dis
charge, which must be ordered by the
court in which the Judgment was rem
dered, and have the approval of the
governor of the state. According to
this decision the action of the board
taken in regard to Stensland, the de
faulting Chicago banker will not
stand, and the case will have to go be-
fore the court which sentenced him.
and have Governor Deneen's approval.
The board of pardons was inquiring
into the case of Newton c. Dougherty.
with view to pardoning him on the
recommendation of some of his friends
when news of the decision was re-
ceived and threw the board into con-
fusion and stopped its proceedings,
which. however, were afterward re-
sumed, but unofficially. with the view
of making recommendation to the
governor, the power to do which the
board still possesses
Under this decision the members of
the state board of pardons will be de-
prived of the $500 salary which each
has been allowed for his services.

Five Minutes for a Trust.

The launching of a billion-dolIar
trust, it appears, is a matter of five
minutes, and it must not interfere
with a dinner engagement.
Discussing the suggestion that J.
Pierpont Morgan be called as a wit
ness in the pending telephone trust
inquiry, the New York World says
a lawyer representing interests in
that combination said:
u can assure you that his per-
sonal knowledge of this business was
confined to a very brief conversation
carried on in a taxicab with his part
ner. Mr. Davidson. The latter re-
ported in five minutes what he was
doing in the purchase of the COM
panies and Mr.. Morgan said, All
right, go ahead; 1 must keep a din
ner engagement "
1t is we'll understood of course
that the financial sovereign of Amer
ica cannot himself attend to every
detail of his great business, but it
will be news to most people that any
body can become so accustomed to
the creation of billion dollar trusts
as to authorize them languidly be-
tween yawns, as it were, at the close
of a day devoted to matters of real
Importance.
Mr.. Morgan's dinner engagements
are inexorable. So should be the
laws that run against monopolies.

he Instructed him 10 draw on his en-
ployer for reasonable amounts. The
decoy was to report regularly through
the mail
Shotwell waited in vain for a re-
port. A week passed, and he became
impatient; two weeks. and he began
to think he had been duped. The man
had doubtless taken the good clothes
and the money furnished him and de-
camped. But why no drafts came
ShotweH could not imagine.
Unfortunately for Shotwell, he had
broken with Miss Gwynne and there
fore had no occasion to visit her. He
knew several of her intimate friends
and would have asked them if she
were receiving attentions from any
one, but he was himself known to have
been attentive to Miss Gwynne, and
any such questions from him would
of course be impertinent. He went
so far as to hang about the Gwynne
domicile at hours when a visitor might
be expected to call, but discovered
nothing He listened to all the gossip
he heard, hoping he might hear some
thing pertaining to the case. He was
disappointed in all his attempts to
learn if the man he had employed to
do his work was doing it
Finally he made up his mind that if
a man resembling Mr.. Howard Beld-
inS were paying marked attention to
Miss Gwynne it would be known and
he (ShotwelD would certainly hear of
it. There was but one inference-the
man had either gone off without even
an attempt to make Miss Gwynne's
acquaintance or he had betrayed his
employer with Il view to making CAPT
tai with the young lady. Either Of
these propositions was sufficient TO
throw Shotwell into a fever He fret
ted and worried and pried till at last
he could stand the strain no longer
and concluded to get away from it by
making a trip abroad.
He came to this conclusion not only
because he wished to get the matter
off his mind. but because. having
somewhat cooled. he felt that he had
risked the respect Of all good men
and women who knew him. If the
matter should be known he would
rather be where he could not be called
upon to face it. Perhaps by the time
he returned, if any trouble came of it,
it would have blown over. These con-
siderations, however. did not seem t9
him Of great Importance, for he had
little doubt that the fellow he had
hired to personate Bedding had simply
poczeted the perquisites and left the
Job to take care of itself.
Three months after ShotweIl had
laid his plan for revenge upon Miss
Gwynne he went to Europe. There
after a time the matter he had come
away to get rid of ceased to occupy
the greater part of his attention. and
eventually he thanked heaven that the
man he had employed to revenge him
had gone off without doing so. He
was feeling much relieved when in
Venice he met an acquaintance from
America, who said to him, among
other things:
Il hear your old flame, Virginia

Tribute to the Farmer.

Archbishop Ireland declares that
James ]. Hill is right when he says,
The moral and social salvation Of
America rests with the farmer" IN
signed statement for publication, the
archbishop says:
"Of course, 1, like so many others.
have had to pay some attention to the
economic problems now agitating the
communicative high price of living
and the consequent boycott instituted
against the use OF meat. Good will
come from the discussion-much
good, in my opinion. though very like
ly not in the direction that many eX-
pect.
THAT the price of meat as the re-
suit of the agitation and boycott will
for some time f1uctuate, today down
ward, tomorrow upward. we may read
lily admit. But that meat will fall back
permanently to the low prices of for
mer years 1 am not disposed to believe.
My reasons for the assertion seem to
be very plain and convincing. The
chief cause of this rise in price lies
with the producer-the farmer-and
as my sympathy goes out to the far
mer very warmly, am not oversorry
for the conditions we are witnessing.
Heretofore, cattle were raised by
the millions over vast and unoccupied
ranges Of prairies, but the day of these
ranges has passed. Cattle must now
be raised on the small farm, seven
or eight head by each farmer. The
farmer formerly was more easily salts
fed with the results OF his toil-too
easily, in my opinion as he did not
receive his due reward. Because Of
this comparatively unremunerative
task, the cry was, more or less, away
from the Ii -. Today the farmer is
more enlightened on the general eco
nomic conditions of the country, and
he demands his own.
The salvation of America, social
and moral, political and economic, Is
the farm. Where agriculture is not
priced, is neglected, the nation must
decay. The efforts of philanthropists
and well wishers of their fellowmen,
all tend toward encouraging agricul-
ture. The population of America has
been in every decade increasing by
leaps and bounds. There has been
no proportionate increase in the num-
Der of farmers. Hundreds of thou
sands. seeking in vain employment in
cities, hundreds Of thousands eking
out there a bare subsistence to their
own great detriment. and to the yet
greater detriment of their families,
should be out upon the land, where
comfort and peace await them. But
that all this comes to happen, we
must not begrudge the farmer his due
reward for his work"

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an

this tube is infamed you have a rum

when it Is entirely closed, deafness is
the result and unless the infamma-

restored to its normal condition,

SIGNS four BILLS
Governor Deneen Hastens to
Approve Acts of the Leg
islature.
AIDS CHERRY SUFFERERS
Another Provides for Public Libraries
for Cities and Villages of Not
Over 1000.

Springfield, Ill, Feb. 19.-Four bills
passed at the extra session of the
legislature were approved yesterday
by Governor Deneen. They are as
follows:
Senate bill 40 This appropriates
800, 1000 for the relief of the Cherry
mine sufferers. The fund is to be
distributed by the state board in such
manner as in the opinion of the board
will best conduce to the benefit of the
beneficiaries. The board is required
to make a full report to the governor
when the distribution of the fund is
completed
Senate bill 6. This is an act author
izing the establishment and mainte-
nance of free public libraries in cities
and villages. The bill applies to cities
of 1000. The cities included within
the act are empowered to exclude
library taxes from their general taxes
as limited by the cities and villages
act.
Senate bill 81. This amends section
II of the sanitary district act. Under
the present law the sanitary district
boards are required to report to the
county clerks of counties embraced
within the sanitary district all taxable
property lying within the district in
such country by the second day of
August.

ing the commission. passed at the last
session of the general assembly.

The Constitution.

1t is sometimes dangerous to dis
cuss a subject on its merits. This is
especially the case when the subject
is put in the shape of a bill and pre-
scented to the congress of the United
States for action. II is still more
especially dangerous If a statesman
wishes to defeat the bill. Then the
clever statesman avoids the question
of merit altogether. He does not
even stop to urge the question of de-
merit. He simply rises in his place
and declares that the bill is "uncou
stitutional.''
OF course it follows that the friends
of the bill must prove that it is not
unconstitutional. and by the time this
fact has been fairly demonstrated con-
gress adjourns for that session and
the bill is left unpassed
Just now the postal savings banks
bin has been declared unconstitutional
by Senator Rayner of Maryland. If
the bill is unconstitutional it must of
necessity be abandoned for the con-
stitution is of more importance than
