They sleep in the house, generally
taking up their position at the foot Of
the stairs. When nightfall approaches
they begin to wake up, and during the
night they slide swiftly about the
premises, looking for rats.
Giboias are offered for sale In the
markets of Bahia and Pernambuco
for prices ranging 81 to IS, according
to the size Of the creature. It is said
that they are so easily domesticated
that II removed from one house to

Des Moines, July 7.--Withdrawals
from Withdrawals of signatures to
mulct saloon petitions of consent
are invalid. according to decision
of the Iowa supreme court.
The decision of the high court
will knock out the consent petitions
in Des Moines, Fort Dodge, Oska-

Junction, according to Superintend-
emit w. C.. Barber OF the Iowa Anti

supreme court was made on the le-
gal sufficiency of the consent petit
ton for Winneshiek county. The
league contested the validity of tho
petition on the ground that the with
drawals from Withdrawals were In.
valid. The county board of super.
visors held that the second with
drawals were valid, but were revers-
ed by the district court The liquor

INSTITUTIONS SHARE.

Nashville, Tenn. Especial III thu
division of the Peabody fund is made
according to the plan that was an
nounced several weeks ago, and II
proportionate share according to the
negro's population is made to the de.
serving youth. more than 100000 will
be set aside for the normal, agricultu.
raj and mechanical college that is ID.
Gated in this city. It has been found,
after some investigation, that the
money for the Peabody Normal school,
such as has been used from time to
time for that school, where only
whites attend, should have been di.
vided in proportion to the population
wherever the schools were separate,
between the negroes and whites, but
since there was no distinctly negro
school until recently, 1t is supposed
that this accounts for the failure to
divide the fund. A despatch recently
appeared in the Memphis Scimitar
to the effect that an agreement had
been reached and that when diyi.
sion OF tie fund, which was be-
queathed to the deserving youth OF
the SOUTH" is made so that the pro-
posed Peabody Normal might not en-
counter any breakers in the future,
something over 100000 would be Civ.
en- to the negroes.
The discussion of this Peabody fund
continually through the papers has
brought to light the notable Slater
fund, which Is another evidence of the
philanthropic spirit shown by true
Americans, who look to the future of
the youth Of the sunny south. It
could not be learned whether the
three men Of the faculty Of the school
were giving any attention to these re-
ported rumors concerning the division
of the fund, but 1t was supposed that
the superintendent of the state board
would look well into the securing Of
whatever moneys that belonged to the
school, all OF which could be used to
great advantage in the coming edu-
cational effort. With the already
one hundred and fifty thousand added
to the one hundred thousand or more
that would come from the Peabody
fund and the few thousand of dollars
that Is due from the Morrill, fund, the
agricultural, normal and mechanical
school for negroes will. have over
100000 to begin it's career and to
take it's place among the educational
institutions Of Tennessee. This is a
sufficient amount to put the young in
.stitution at the head of It's class in SO
far as equipment Of buildings is con-
cerned. No school in Tennessee will
have more backing and there are but
few agricultural institutions in the
south that have more land already in
their possession. and none with q bet
ter location than the site already &C.
lected. The administration building
is by actual measurement on an eleva-
ton within ten feet OF that occupied
by the state capitol. When the build
ings are erected, they will. like the
capitol of Tennessee, be the only
buildings to be seen from every point
in Nashville.
