Prof. Frederick Starr, the University

turned recently from a trip Of oriental
exploration.
In the seated Buddha, which has
stared at the eastern sea In compare

fessor Starr believes he has found the
masterpiece of an ancient fully devel-
oped Korean art, the prototype OF the
famous bronze Japanese Buddhas OF
Nara and kamakura, and traces OF
sculpture and architecture analogous
to that Of Yucatan and Central Amer

Sturois Bank to Resume.

porv SUSPENSION of payment on &C
count of the reserve being below the
legal requirements. expects to resume
business in much less time thar the
law allows, despite the u~nfavoraoie
local conditions as to collections. Inc
public examiner finds nothing to crltl-
cize as to the active officers OF the
bank. While a national bank is re-
qIired to keep Is per cent or It's de-
posts on hand in cash, a state bank
under the law is required to nave ~
per cent of its deposits on hand IN
cash. and when the reserve falls below
the required amount it is the duty OF
the public examiner to require the
bank to suspend until the required re-
serve is restored. The process OF re-
storing this reserve is going on as
RAPIDLY as local conditions Will admit,
and the bank will resume business,
without a doubt, under some arrange
ment in the near future. The bank
has been one of the foremost and most
popular institutions in the western
part of the state and a been hrst
on the roll of honor of state banks. 1t
commenced business January -, 1891,
with a capital of $4,000, and out of
the earnings raised the capitalization
to $4,000 and paid SCI goo in dlvl-
dends and has undivided profits and
surplus, including uncollected inter
est, of something like 100000 at this
time.
The cause for suspension was ina
bility to collect from borrowers on ac-
count of failure of crops for two
years, causing a steady outflow OF
money for supplies OF all kinds, cou-
pied with the absence Of troops from
Fort Meade during the Mexican trou-
BILE last year. There is remarkable
and very general loyalty to the insti-
tuition among its depositors and the
general public.

Wolves Very Plentiful.

Pierre.-Buyers of wolf bounty certi-
ficates for payment out of the appro-
priation for the beginning of the next
fiscal year are not likely to get more
than SO cents on the dollar. Last year
the payments under the apportionment
law were only So cents on the dollar,
and for that year up to the 25th of
January the claims filed had reached
but 1896, while up to the same date
this year they are up to 1881. If
that ratio continues through the year
the percentage of payment will not
come up to so per cen of the face of
the certificates. Fall River county ap-
pears to be good wolf hunting grounds
this winter. The total amount of
claims from that county for last year
went up to 81 1890, and so far this year
they are up to $4,530.
