THE SCHEME sIDETRACKED.

THE SCHEME SIDETRACKED.
In the call of Governor Sanders for
special session of the Legislature is
the proposed amendment or re-enact-
ment of sections / and ~ of Act 40 OF
1903, exempting from taxation bonds
held by banks of New Orleans which
pay no taxes when in the custody of in
dividuals or corporations other than
banks.
1t has been announced that this sub
iect was included in the call for the spe-
cia1 session at the request of these
banks.
1t would seem that the individuals
who urged the consideration of these
proposed amendments have concluded
that it would not be safe to permit a
proposition to be submitted to the Leg
islature at this time and therefore the
bill, already prepared, will be withheld
1t is singular that it has suddenly
dawned on the hnanciers of New Or
leans concerned in this scheme that the
time is not now propitious and there
must be delay until the Legislature
shall have the opportunity of familiarz
izing themselves with the subject of the
BILL
If the truth were told, it would be-
come patent that the bankers have real
lied that a majority of the members of
Legislature from the country would not
favor the scheme, and it is wiser to
withdraw it than to have it slaughtered
The pretense of the sehemers was ap-
parent the moment it was given pub
licity.

A REMINDER

AS friend of education ana one ~
terested in the welfare of the children,
you are earnestly requested to go to the
polls next Tuesday, November 20, and
vote for the levying of a special tax OF
one mill for ten years for the purpose
of providing sufficient school buildings
for the school children of District One
This is not an increase of taxes, but a
continuation of the present one mill tax
now in force Very truly,

1t is related from ClevelanA, O, that
Mrs. Anna Hubbell Of aurora, o., q
town not far from Cleveland, was bus
led as dead, and resurrected, according
to daughter of Mrs. Hubbell, whs
lives in Cleveland. Mrs. Hubbell, who is
65 years of age and seemingly ia good
health, would not discuss the matter p-
day further than to admit that she was
very i'll several weeks ago, but recovered
suddenly.
Mrs. Eta Winfield of this city, daugh-
ter of Mrs Hubbell, says that her moth
I r was taken suddenly i'll about three
weeks ago, and was thought to have
died. Mrs. Winfield was hastily sum-
moned from Cleveland, and on arriving
at Aurora found her mother apparently
dead. She says she knew that former
members of the family on her mother
side had been subject to frances, and she
told the undertaken her suspicious that
Mrs. Hubbell was merely in a trance.
She advised him to refrain from en-
ba1rning the body and asked that her
mother be placed in vault with the
casket lid open.
This, according to Mrs. Winfield, was
done The woman was laid away in a
vault at the Aurora cemetery about z
o'clock in the afternoon of November
23. Late that night the sexton Of the
cemetery, who had been told of the
daughters suspicion, went to the vault
and discovered that the body had moved
in the casket. He hastily summoned aid
and had the woman taken to physician
who worked over her for several hours
finally bringing her back to life, or out
of the trance, for such it was pro-
nounced.
Though the story has created great
deal of excitement in the little village
of Aurora, the parties concerned de-
cline to discuss it. There are many
who insist that Mrs. Winfeld's account
| of the unusual affair is correct.
