provides maximum of 3 cents as such fare, and places severe penalties on companies guilty of violating it's provisions by over charging.
 The bill is general in it's provis- ions, applying to all cities of the class named. According to the census returns, Little Rock is the only city coming within the class named, and the bill, if en- acted, would therefore apply only to this city for the present.
 Hon. k. $. Warnock of Colum = bia County introduced the most comprehensive measure of the morning session, providing for the establishment of State banking department, under the direction of a bank commissioner, and providing for an optional plan for the guarantee of bank depositors.
 The plan proposed is unique, and Mir. Warnock believes it sur passes the iron-clad guarantee deposit plan by giving the bank the privilege'of guaranteeing un- der the general guarantee plan, or of staying out and becoming liable thereby to it's depositors in an amount equal to three times it's capital stock. It does not force the bank to join other banks in adopting guarantee policy, but if it declines to enter such plan the proposed law works automatically to guarantee the depositor by making the bank li- able in a sum treble it's capital stock and therefore practically assuring the depositor against loss.
 The measure Is carefully safe guarded in every way, all banks being required to list with the State bank commissioner their assets and liabilities, together with a certified list of their stock holders. Proper penalties are provided for failure to comply with any provision of the law.

The first day of regular busi- hess in the House was breezy and Hull of features from the start.

Be Sides this, there had been friend l ly spats on a number of resolu- |tions and a lively discussion on l the initial bill sent over from the Senate, the mileage and per diem measure.
 Regular order" was called for |ln the introduction of measures lin the House, and that body early Showed a disposition to stick to |the principle of introduction of bills on roll call, with few bills given the privilege of a second beading the day of their intro Auction.

Small Concrete Farm Bridge..

In our irrigated districts OF the
West we find many small bitches and
laterals on the farm, and it is always
necessary to cross these with drive
ways at frequent intervals. When a
small, permanent bridge is required,
the following ideas may he used, pro-
viding the conditions are satisfac-
tory.
For crossing where the depth OF
the ditch is not great and the span
not over IL or II feet, we may pro-
coed as follows:
After the irrigation season has
closed, and before the cold weather
sets in. fill the lateral at the cross
ing with gravel or sand and tamp
it down comparatively solid. The fill
ing will answer as form for the un-
der side of the bridge, and should be
carefully rounded off SO as to form
an arch Of the concrete with its CEN
ter about I2 to IS inches higher than
the ends of the abutments, for span
of Ie to IA feet. Clay or loan may
be used for the filling. but gravel or
sand can be taken out much more
readily than the former.
For a span of IL feet and bridge
ten feet wide, we may say, for aver
age conditions, that trench ten feet
long and six or eight inches wide
will, when dug deep enough to firm
ground, answer for the foundation.
It may be possible to use some OF
this waste material from the exca-
vation to fill in the ditch.
Drive stakes at suitable points to
hold the planks that are to form the
sides of the bridge. The finished
thickness OF the center OF the arch
need not be over four inches. When
all the forms are in place, mix your
concrete in about the following pro-
portions: One part Portland cement.
two parts clean sand, and four parts
gravel. Make the abutments or foun-
dations first, by filling the trenches
with concrete. Now. spread the con-
crete over the gravel, fill to depth
of about two inches; upon this soft
mass, before the concrete sets. place
the steel reinforcing bars, which
should be about 3-S of an inch in
diameter. and placed eight inches
apart longitudinally. These rods
should be bent to agree with the
curve of the arch. After the rods.
which should be long enough to reach
the foundation abutments. are in
place. the remaining concrete should
be placed and well tamped. Smooth
off the top surface with straight
edge. and when completed. the CEN
ter of the arch should be about four
inches thick and the shoulders at the
abutments about six inches in thick
ness. Cover now with few inches
of earth to prevent the concrete from
drying out to rapidly. In two weeks
time the structure will be ready for
use. The sand. gravel. or earth fill

VIII Have to Suffer Penalty for
Cashlng Another Persons Check.
W. A. Lee. the former La Junta dray-
man who some weeks ago had New
York draft for $lz5 eashed at the Rocky
Ford National Bank and pulled out for
parts unknown. was captured in Omaha
and brought back to La Junta last week.
On Dec. 10 Lee received check from
J. A. Burnett. which the latter Thought
was for $l.76 and after endorsing the
paper tsndered it in payment of trans
fer bill. Lee turned the draft in on his
depos slip at the La Junta State Bank
for $l.75. and at the time Cashier Win
ehsll called his attention to the fact that
the draft was for Siz5. and in favor Of
J. A. Burwell instead Of J. A. Burnett.
Mr.. Winoheil gave the check to Lee and
requested him to turn it over to MIR. Bur-
well as it was evident that mistake had
been made.
Lee did not return the check to Mr.
Burwell. but carried it around in his
pocket. and on Dec. 81 had it eashed at
the Rocky Ford National Bank. being
introduced and identified by Fly. Hauek.
When the Rocky Ford bank sent the
draft to New York it was returned. on
account Of notice having been given Of
its cancellation. The Rocky Ford bank
then demanded payment from J. A. Bur-
nett as one Of the indorsers, and as q
consequence he is minus Siz5 in cash
besides the protest fees Of about 81 SO
more.
In the meantime Lee and his family
he'd pulled out for parts unknown and q
search was instituted that resulted in his
capture in Omaha. Lee denies any in
tent Of wrong dong. and claims that al
he did was to cash draft that was giver
to HIM.
