EXAMINER RS NOTES
The records OF the several officers we're found to be written up In prompt
neat and accurate manner.
We understand that the County win have a refunfhng bond issue about
'Septenber ]. 1895. We hope that the County COMMISSIONS will not make
the mistake that the previous Commissioners made in not making sufficient
leviee for the sinking fund. II the previous Board had madesufddent leviee
there would have been no need Of a reunddng bond Issue at this time.
There still 10 a shortage Of $4,000 IN former Treasurer HOLMAN $4,000
was paid during the period since the last examination.
Claim No. 63125, Fred Darling, Rona, North Dakota, $14O. was paid at the

REALTY RISE
LIFTS VALUE
OF ASSETS
Institution Still Owes
100000; Has
100000 Now

With the upswing in local real
estate values the assets held by
the defunct Federal American Ma
tional Bank and Trust Company
have increased appreciably in
value, with the result that the
closed institution ultimately will
pay depositors about IS per cent
of their accounts, it was disclosed
today in the quarterly statement
Of condition of the bank.
The Federal American National
Bank and Trust Company today
owes its depositors about four mil
lion dollars. It already has paid
a SO per cent dividend.
This time last year little hope
was held for a payment exceeding
60 per cent all told.
Bank officials are faced with
the annoying situation of having
more than $1,000,000 on hand for
the immediate distribution to de.
positors, yet being hamstrung by
court order.
A good portion of the 81 ,0o0, 900
was raised through assessments
levied against stockholders Of the
bank. Stockholders are attacking
the legality of these collections
and, until this dispute is settled in
the courts, payment of the money
to the depositors will be withheld.
Cary A. Hardee, receiver for the
bank, estimates the assets today
held by the bank are worth more
than $3,OO0,0O0 on the open mar
ket. Book value Of these assets
is about $8,700,000. Besides these
estimated assets, of course, the de-
positors have the $1,000,000 in
cash awaiting them.

HOLE IN WALL
HER OFFICE
INTHEATER
Mrs. Miller Finds Job
As City's One Film
House Manager

There was scarcely room for
three persons in the cubby hole
backstage Of the Little Theater.
Gusts of wind howled through
an aperture in the chalk-white
walls which were bare. Only a
flat-topped desk and two chairs
comprised the furniture.
This is the setting in which is
found Washington's only woman
motion picture impresario. She
is Mrs. Raymond Clendenin Mil
ler, linguist, cosmopolite' and
Socialite.
Mrs. Miller Is the daughter Of
the late John j. Noonan, in his
lifetime "Washington's Public
Angel No. l." 1t was through the
efforts of Mr.. Noonan that chill
dren of Washington public schools
obtained Scent carfare. Likewise,
it was Mr.. Noonan who launched
the successful fight for free
lunches to needy school children.
Feted in Europe
Feted by Europe's elite (Mrs.
Miller lived in Europe for nine
years. she does not think the con-
trast in her life extraordinary.
The Little Theater was one Of the
properties in Ninth Street whicn
was left by Mr.. Noonan. The
Little Theater was willed to the
three children of Mrs. Miller.
Mrs. Miller teamed up with A.
M. Toxins ito make a go Of the
theater."
Mrs. Miller is the wife Of Ray
mond Clendenin Miller, now at
tached to the Export-Import
Bank and for nine years this
country's commercial attache in
Paris and Brussels successfully.
Mrs. Miller believes there is
nothing contradictory in a woman
admittedly without experience in
the commercial world attempting
a business career. She consults
with advisors, asks questions and
then makes a decision.
Mother of Three
The three Miller children who
are heirs to the Little Theater
property are: John Donald, Is;
Raymond Clendenin, jr., IA, and
Brett, 9. 1t is to protect the in
terests of her children, Mrs. Miller
explained, that she became a
partner in the Little Theater op-
Grafton.
The business will interfere
neither with her home life nor
social affairs, Mrs. Miller said.
For the moment, of course, she
added, the Little Theater will oc-
cupy most of her attention.
But, she hopes, a perfect func-
tioning machinery will be set up
before long and her time will be
less taken up with the venture.

BIG RESEARCH
LABORATORY
UN0PP0SED
Residents Of Bethesda
Quit Protests on
u. S. Project

BETHESDA, Md, Oct. les
tabliShment of a national inSti-
tute of public health on a 45-acre
tract on the Rockville Pike be-
tween Bethesda and Rockville will
not be opposed further by local
residents or civic organizations,
Samuel E. Stonebreaker, of the
Bethesda Chamber Of Commerce,
said today.
Although the board Of directors
of the chamber discussed the con-
templated construction Of this re-
search laboratory for the United
States Public Health Service
several weeks ago and were di-
vided in their views, this has all
been ironed out, Mr.. Stonebreaker
said, and the chamber as whole
now favors the project.
George P. Sacks, one Of the
members opposing the project to
be erected on a tract Of land do
mated by Luke I. Wilson, based
his objections on the grounds
that this is a residential area and
contains some of the most beau
tiful homes in the vicinity Of the
Capital. He felt this project might
open the way for establishment
of business institutions in the
area.
Present plans Of the Public
Health Service calls for the eX-
penditure of between 2 million
dollars and 3 million dollars on
buildings alone at this site, to
serve as a new proving ground
for scientists in their battle
against disease, Already funds for
a 100000 first unit have been
appropriated.
In addition to this, Mr.. Stone
breaker pointed out that the
grounds surrounding the build
ings will be beautifully land
scaped and when completed the
institution will be a credit to the
community.
An annual pay roll Of nearly
400 persons receiving 100000 is
expected.
Present quarters of the research
institute on E Street, between
Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth
Streets Northwest, will be re-
linquiShed to make way for a new
Navy Department medical center
adjoining the present Naval HoSpi-
tai, after the Bethesda unit is COM
pleted.
While this will be only one of
several field stations operated by
the Public Health Service, it will
be developed into the largest and
finest institution of it's kind IN the
world, DR.. L. H. Thompson, as
sistant surgeon general, has de-
clared.

The bride is Miss Elizabeth

Joseph C. and the late Mrs. Clary.
4615 de Russey Parkway, Chevy
Chase, Md.
The groom is Benjamin B.
Treadwell, jr., son Of Mrs. Clary
and the late Benjamin B. Tread
well, of Montgomery, Ala.
Four years ago Mr.. Treadwell,
jr., came to washington and met
Miss Clary, and the romance bios
somed. Some time later his
mother came here to visit him.
She met the girl and her father,
with the result the second ro-
nance not only bloSsomed, but
eliminated last February when
Mrs. Treadwell became Mrs. Clary.
So tonight Miss CARY will be-
come Mrs. Treadwell to sort of
balance things. The bride will be
given in marriage by her father.
Mr.. Treadwell, a graduate Of
the University of Alabama, is en-
ployed by the telephone company
His bride is a graduate Of Sweet
brier College, Va.
Mr.. Clary will give his daughter
in marriage, but Mrs. Clary is
confronted with the problem of
which side of the church to take
her seat, the brides or the
groom's, since she is connected
with each. She said laughingly:

will be to get a chair and sit in

didn't say so-it is more or less
understood that the absence of
Mr.. Mule probably will eliminate
a lot of ''cuSSing."
The itinerary of the march will
include one night Stop-overs at
Centerville, Goose Greek, Front

The Army mule, famous in song

According to an announcement
today by Col. Kenyon Joyce, COM
manding officer at Fort Myer, Va,
the mule will stay in his stable
when troops composing the Third
Calvary make a weeks practice
march through Northern Virginia
beginning next Monday.
The mule, says the colonel, is a
"haS-been." He will be replaced
by supply trucks, each with either
a cargo trailer or water tank.

M. U. FrOsh Spineless?
Hardl y. It Seems

, The frosh was deeply offended,
both by the remarks and by the
water treatment" Later the
same night the freshmen cap
tured several sophomore class Off
cials, and after padding them for
a while, tossed them into the
creek and made them stay there
for nearly an hour. Every time a
Soph complained of the coldness
of the water, the frosh took him
out and warmed him up with the
paddles.
The same night the sophomore
banner disappeared from the
sophomore classroom and has not
been found yet. The sophs are
considerably disgruntled about it
because the "swiping" of their
flag subjects them to the worst
disgrace possible on the campus.

Baehr Brothers Building
Theatre at Alexandria.

The fourth in the chain of theatres
being built and operated by the Baehr
Brothers, who operate the Ely Theatre
in this city, along with theatres in
Bemidji and International Falls, will be
built at Alexandria, where 9O0-seat
theatre is now being constructed.
The work on the Alexandria project
will be done by the same contractors
who built the Ely Theatre last June,
viz: Ben Bredeson, general contractor;
E. w. Bucklin, plumbing; Naylor Elec-
trical Company. electrical work, and
Nordheim Roofing Company, roof.
From the Bemidji Pioneer we learn
that as soon as the work on the Alex
andria building is completed the firm
will begin work on building a Wah-
peton, S. D.

in prospect by the same firm composed
of A. w. Baehr of Bemidji and E. j.

his chief deputy, Matt j. Desmond, sets
S43, 1892 ,977.74 as the total of appropri-
atoms of the Legislature of 1885.
This figure is 24,67716 higher than
the previous high set in 1891 and
6.725 1868 higher than the total ap-
preparations of the 1888 Legislature.
An analysis of the appropriations shows
that the increase over 1888 is due to
extraordinary appropriations for vari-
Gus undertakings for human welfare,
these undertakings accounting for more
than s6,000,000 of the increase, while
changes in administration of the state
income tax ard the state liquor act,
together with interest on the state
deficit and on new state debts, account
for another s1.000.0O0 of increase.
Included in the total of more than
six millions for welfare activities are an
increase for education of s2.455, Dol SO.
for the states share of old age pensions
100000, and for mothers pensions
100000. The balance of the increase
consists in new appropriations for the
blind. for the care of children and
the states unfortunateS, for weed erad-
ication and the combating of Bangs
disease, for an enlargement of the
Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and
other miscellaneous welfare activities.
Heretofore the expenses OF admins
tration of the income tax law and the
state liquor law were taken from the
receipts of these activities, but the
Legislature of 1895 appropriated di-
rectly from the state treasury $780, 0O
for income tax administration and
s437, 1873 % for administration of the
state liquor law. For interest on the
state deficit and other new require
ments $4,000 was appropriated.
If the welfare appropriations and the
administrative changes had not been
made, the appropriations of 1885 would
have been $500. 900 less than those OF
1888.

line of these buttons ten miles long.
This ten-mile glitter makes the ordinary
taxpayer gasp and even the Iron Range
residents, hardened to reckless spending,
are scratching their heads over it and
are willing to admit that it is brilliant
testimony to the spending proclivities
of the state during the last few years.
There has been lot of talk about
the cost of these shiny nubbins per
nubbin, but although the Highway De-
partment has a division of public in
formation with a salary list of S735 per
month, the division has thus far been
too busy to give the people Of Minnesota
the facts. Some delving in the state
auditors Office, however, disclosed the
fact that on September 18th of this
year the Chicago Manufacturing and
Distributing Company, with a factory
at Marion, Indiana, was paid S1.48 each
for 5000 of these buttons for use in
an area limited to district close to
the Twin Cities.
What it costs per nubbin to install
them is something else that will help
the gossiping taxpayer to keep his mind
OFF his other troubles.

The Robber flies are mostly large

are quite stout, resembling humble

bees, tiger beetles, and dragon flies.
They also feed upon the larvae of these
insects. They are very common in

the ground. or in decaying wood. where
they prey upon the larvae of beetles.
Some of these flies, however, prey upon
the roots of plants. The family in
