Mr.. Murray announced his intention
to go into every bank examining dls-
trict and investigate personally the
work of national examiners. He pro-,
poses to find out for himself why the
examiners are unable to determine the
condition OF banks In advance OF tall-
ures and also why directors OF banks
do not attempt to correct improper con-
ditions I'M their banks which. have been
brought to their attention.
In making this announcement Mr..
Murray denounced the bank examiners

"In view of the fact that the excuses

this law originated west OF the Mis-.
souri, river where IL was charged that
city and town officials habitually and
willfully neglected their duty in al.
lowing saloons and gambling houses
to run wide open nights and Sundays
in violation OF law aud it was sought
by this law to require the officers OF
such towns to see that the laws o.
the state were complied with or suffer
removal from office by the governor.
The governor now has the authority
to remove county, township, NUM-
cipal or precinct officers for the fol-
lowing us es. viz: Misconduct or
~malfeasance or crime or misdemeanOr
or drunkenness or gross incompetency.
Minnesota has such a law which has
been put in force several times in
recent years, among which was the
removal Of three county commits
sioners Of Beltrami county. The
near removal the mayor of st.
Cloud, and the probable removal
of the Sheriff of Dakota county for
neglecting his duty as sheriff in not

cattle at a Sunday picnic of packing
house employees, t 7 wives and
children.
The fourth is the EmbalmiDg law
which changes the licensing OF en-
balmers from the State Embalming
Board to the State Board of Health
and requires an examination before
such board before being granted a
license to practice as such embalmer.
The fifth is the act dividing the
state into two congressional districts.
We have TWO congressman who are
elected at large by the vote of the
entire state. If this law is ratified
the congressman will be elected by
districts and if you will get a state
map and trace the boundaries Of these
districts by the counties enumerated
in the law l think you will agree that
this is not an equitable division either
from 81 area or population stand
point. Grant county will be in a
district consisting OF all of the north
part of the state and all of the terri
tory west of the Missouri river. l
should prefer to see the state remain
as it is until after the state census is
announced, and then if We are en-
titled to three congressman the state
can be equitably divided.
The sixth is the Militia Code which
is much different than our present
militia code and is so long it would
take more space to com pare the sew
eral sections with our present militia
code than l feel at liberty to ask.
To be on the safe side better vote
no.
To vote for any of these amend
ments or laws plt a cross before the
wcrd yes and to vote against put a
| cross before the word No.

of DR.. Crippin, the American

in London, is in strong contrast
to what would liFely have hap

to die of old age before the finale
IN the courts had been reached.
The com mitted man is sentenced
to be hung Novembe 8.
Miss Geneve, the woman in
the case was acquitted of the
charge of being an accomplice in
the murder.

ODD SALUTES ARE USED
IN NATIONS OF EARTH
Noses and Son1e Put Sand
on Their Heads

LONDON, Jan. 5.--In foreign coun-
tries the ceremonies and customs OBJ
serVable at meeting and parting are
frequently of very solemn and formal
character and are enforced with the
strictest rigor by the superior in rank
on those beneath them.
The Moors at their meetings kiss the
right shoulders of one another and
when they take their leave they kiss
each others knees. In Morocco for
eigners are saluted by the Moors on
horseback in a manner which may well
startle those unaccustomed to it, The
Moor rides full speed toward the
stranger, as if to run him down. He
then suddenly stops and discharges his
pistol over his head. In Africa, among
several negro nations, the people take
each others hands and pull the fingers
until they crack
If the men on the gold coast of
Upper Guinea salute a female they
take her hand, raise it to their noses
and smell it twice. In other countries
Of Africa people take off their clothes,
fall on their knees, bend their heads
to the ground and cover the head and
shoulders with sand.
In most of the South Sea islands.
though the custom may vary in some
respects, this very important prelim-
mary to a friendly intercourse is usu-
ally adjusted by an easy contact of the
parties noses, or by an exchange of
gifts. The Laplanders also rub noses.

WANTS DIVORCE BECAUSE
NECKTIES DON'S SUIT HER

MILWAUKEE,, Jan. 5.--Because her
husband persistently refuses to wear
neckties which match with the shade
of her gowns, Mrs. Frances Laroche
says she will file suit tomorrow for
divorce from her husband, Alfred. They
were married in Syracuse FIVE years
ago. The husbands defense will be
that his wife so imposed on him by in
sisting that he accompany her on
shopping tours that his cruelty" is
justified.
The wifes plant is that her hus-
band whom she likes to have accom-
pany her on her visits to stores, delib-
erately wears clothing which does not
comport with her gowns. On one oc-
casion, she says, she was shopping in
a plum colored silk, and her husband
wore a flowing green four-in-hantl,
which shone in striking contrast to her
costume. on another occasion he wore
a tie of blue to prevent her enjoying a
shopping tour in a creation of light
green shade.

REMONSTRATE OVER
PRINCESS METHODS
Nine. Granier Dlscourses on "LoVe"
Before Kaiser Wilhelm and Calls
Down Censure of Press

BERLIN, Jan. 5.-Several incidents
have combined to bring the Emperor
William and his theory of government
once more into general public discus
sion in this country. The first is a let
ter written in 1894 by Gen. Won Stosch
to Rudolf von Bennigsen and pub
lished in the biography Of the Liberal
leader, which is in process of publica-
tion. 1t contains the following pas
sage:
The emperor said to one of his con-
fidants: "Caprivi is easy to get on
with, but he does not appeal to me-
The man is lacking in imagination
He does not understand me when l
open out to him new ideas. 1 shall
take as his successor a younger man,
who is personally more known to me
and has no kind of reservations to-
ward me as the result of his past. He
shall be my man, and nothing else"
Another matter which has come in
for a good deal of discussion arose out
of the municipal elections at katto-
witt, where several school teachers and
postmen were reduced for having Vot-
ed for the Polish candidates. During
the emperors visit to Naudeck his
host, Prince Donnersmarck, sent for
the official who had been responsible
for this measure and his majesty pre-
sented him with his own photograph,
beneath which was written Memo me
impume lacessit."
Finally an interview with Madame
Jeanne Granier, published in the Paris
Gil Bias, has caused grave, not to say
reverend head-shakings. The portion
of the entertainment provided by this
lady for the pleasure of the emperor
at Prince Donnersmarck's Schloss was
what the French call a conference
that is to say a witty, impromptu
monologue Madame Granier was al
lowed to select her own theme. She
chose Love" and treated it in a spirit
that is much more common where the
climate is sultry" than in the hard,
cold air of Prussia.
The Chauvinistic and Pan-Germanic
Rheinisch Westfalische Zeitung now
prints an open letter from certain
worthy burgers of Essen remonstrat-
ing with Prince Donnersmarck for Of
fering his imperial guest an entertain
ment of this kind.

Ten-Cent Wedding Rings

Who is married in Manayunk and
who is not? That is the question all
the Manayunk district is asking after
the opening recently of a and 10 cent
store on Main street. The reason? They
were selling wedding rings" at 10
cents each and every . girl in sight
bought one and put it on her finger.
OF course it was all a joke, but the
average male citizen is sorely puzzled
between the true ring of matrimony
and the fake ring of the new jest But
that store did a great business in ten
cent wedding rings.-Philadelphia Tel
