PUZZLING FEATURES III m STATE LAW
Statute in Reference to Depositories, Effective Dec. 1 Proves Troublesome. CASHING OF WARRANTS. THI8 13 ONE POINT THAT 18 THE SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION AMONG OFFICIALS OF WAYNE COUNTY A SERIOUS DEFECT. Puzzling problems with relation to the depository law, which will become effective December 1, have presented themselves to Wayne county officers bs well as those in probably every county in the state and likewise to the state officials themselves. As often is the case the General Assembly did not make every provision of the statute as clear as might have been done and the result Is that several interpretations can be put on several of the clauses. One of the questions that has been a subject of discussion among Wayne county officers - fa with relation to the cashing of warrants. At the present time the county auditor's warrant is cashed by the treasurer. Under the depository law, it Is believed, the treasurer may cash them, if he so chooses, but as a rule the warrants will be endorsed by the treasurer and will be cashed by the holder at the county's depository as is designated on the face of the warrant. Much extra bookkeeping will be necessary under the depository law, it is believed, but the statute Itself permits county officers to develop for them-' selves a system which will be adequate. In various counties various systems will be employed In consequence. Causing a Rumpus. Just at this time the question that fa oauslng a general "rumpus" is that regarding the ..finance boards themselves. - Bankers over the state fall to ee where they will be secured for the negotiable papers they file with the finance boards as security for the funds which the banks will hold. The law provides that where banks do not care to give their own bonds as security for public deposits that may be awarded to them may deposit other securities, such as mortgage notes or municipal bonds. The law does not specify what kind of securities and it is pointed out to the bankers that it makes no provision whatever for liability in case a member of the finance board, with whom the securities may be deposited, appropriates them to his own use. The law says that the securities phall be deposited with the appropriate board of finance, but makes no provision beyond that for the custody of the securities. The question that the bankers ask is: "Who would ctand the loss if some member of the board of finance should embezzle the securities?" Inasmuch as it is not the duty of the state bank department to construe the law this question has been referred to the banks attorney. Defect Is Serious. The defect in the law is considered a serious one at the office of the auditor of state. As in the case of a town ship board of finance, which has no fixed office and which might consist of men of limited responsibility, the banks do not feel that they would be safe in depositing securities with members of a board of limited responsibilities and open the way for a member of the board, if he so chooses, to carry off the securities and negotiate them for his own. The law provides that securities in the hands of boards of finance shall not be negotiable in cas es of this kind, but the bankers point out that a member of the board of fi nance intrusted with the securities, if he chose to embezzle them, might fail to indicate on the securities that they had been intrusted to him under the depository law and negotiate them outside the state, where the parties with whom he might transact were Ignorant of the law. Under the law the bank depositing the securities with the board of finance might recover them, but it would likely have trouble in locating the securities and be forced to proceed with a large amount of expensive litigation.

THERE IS ALSO ACTIVITY IN THE NAVY STRONG FEELING FOR RUSSIAN-AMERICAN ALLIANCE SAID TO EXIST. St. Petersburg, Oct. 14. General Linevitch, commander in chief of the Russian Siberian army, has reported to the general staff at St. Petersburg that the Japanese government is erecting hastily in Manchuria and Korea fortifications and sending enormous quantities of ammunition to places, under the disguise of business enterprises and is buying properties from j the Chinamen at stragetlcally impor tant points adjoining the Siberian frontier to accumulate ammunition. Their actions indicate preparation for war. Similar preparations are reported in the navy and Siberian posts are filled with Japanese spies and several arrests were made. The coming visit of Secretary Taft to Siberia is regarded as important and a strong feeling for a Russian-American alliance exists. Tho Outdoor Boy.

DOLLAR OH EXHIBIT
AT A LOCAL ST The Palladium Stay-at-Home Coin Can Be Seen at Feltman's. HIDDEN FOR A FEW DAYS. THE TAGS ATTACHED SHOW THAT IT HAS FIGURED IN A LARGE NUMBER OF TRANSACTIONSWILL START AGAIN. J j The celebrated Palladium "at home dollar." which for the past month has been traversing the -jusiness districts ! ot the city, is now on display at the ; Charles Feltman shoe store and can be j seen at any time in the window of that , store. This famous dollar has been J secreted for several days and its j wnereaDouis were unKnowu iuC , nrsc or lasi weeK unin ii pui m aa ay pearance at this popular shoe store. All of the tags are attached to the coin and its different possessors have recorded their names on the tags. The dollar will remain at the store until Tuesday at 9 o'cIock, when it will again be released. The tags on the "at home dollar" record that on Oct. Sth it came into the possession of Ed Temme aud that he spent it at William H. Barters book store. It next came into the ownership of C. W. Jessup, on October 11th, and .on the same day was pocketed by Henry Farwig. The next day it came into the possession of S. K. Bradbury and the same afternoon it went to the pocket of William McClellan. Edgar Norris possessed the coin until last Saturday when it was spent at Charles Feltman's shoe store. WOKEN OF HOLLAND. Dutch Feminine Costumes Are Too Complex For Words. The women's costume is a trifle too complex for verbal description, as feminine belongings usually are, but the white lace cap which covers the head from eyebrows to nape of neck and from ear to ear, curving out in rounded wings on each side of her cheeks, is always a conspicuous and inevitable portion of a woman's attire. It may possibly be that on Sunday this cap Is a trifle whiter or stiffer or daintier than on week days, but the difference is not very apparent. The ladies assure us there is a vast difference in the quality of the net and the amount of handiwork employed, but the lens made no special note of that. In 6hape and outline the camera finds great distinction between these caps and those of Katwyk or Marken or Bois le Due, but between Sunday and Monday caps in Volendam it records none whatever. For the rest of the costume feminine Holland asks above all things apparently a very flat, narrow chest surmounting enormous hips, and Volendam is no exception to this fashion rule. The invariable black "best waist" of the elder women is usually brightened by a square yoke of lighter color and material, and the dark apron or overskirt 13 topped by six inches or more of gay plaid or bright colored band worn over an underskirt of dull blue striped or black material and uncountable petticoats. About the throat a collar formed of many rows of heavy dark red coral beads is fastened by huge silver clasps, and the number of rows, the size and quality of the beads are matters for feminine pride. Long hair is not the glory of women in Holland, save perhaps at Marken. It is usually hidden and at Volendam is cut quite close and entirely covered by a tight fitting thick black silk cap concealed beneath the snowy white lace. The younger girls. from the tiniest toddler to the young meisje, old enough to wed, wear dressj ea and caps the exact counterpart of j their grave mothers, no less full of I skirt or narrow of chest, but much gayer In color. A group of tiny maidens in a stiff breeze on the dike resembles nothing more than a swarm of butterflies. Florence Craig Albrecht in Scrlbner's. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. No small noise sounds as bad as that made by squeaky shoes. Lift any little woman's thumb and you will find a man under it. How few people are as polite to their friends as they are to strangers!

As she paused the clerk, a dapper young man of more affability than ad vantages, stepped forward with the remark: "Them are the latest things in mottoes.

KERR THINKS WELL OF NEBRASKA PLATFORM It Was Written by William Jennings Bryan.
SOME OF THE PROVISIONS. Indianapolis, Oct. 14. John W. Kern thinks so well of the platform recently adopted by the democrats of Nebraska that he would like to see the next democratic national convention make use of every plank, except, of course, those that relate to state and local issues. It wrould not be necessary, he thinks, for the national convention to go to the trouble of adding very many more planks, for, to his mlnd the Nebraska instrument covers the ground tnoroughly. The Xebragka platform was written by WIlliam Jennings Bryan and the national leader of the democratic hosts took the opi)0rtunlty to piace Defore the peop5e sometnins that they could ponder over before the time came for draftine a national platform. Accord ing to more than one Pryan leader in . Indiana lie used it as a vehicle for the I ; expression of his own views on natio- j nal affairs. j One of its planks ca'ls for the sending to prison of corporation officials who violate the law, and another for : income and inheritance tax laws. On j the tariff question it fii.ds fault with a ; high protective tariff and demands that the people shall lie taxed only to the extent of providing enough reven- j ue for the running of the government. It upholds states' rigcts and, in the control of corporations it is willing that the federal government shall have no more power than is actually delegated it in the constitution. HASSARD IN CITY COURT. Plead Guilty and Was Drunkenness. Fined for Richard Hassard, the former saloon keeper who was taken to the county jail several days ago suffering with an acute attack of delirium tremens, was i arraigned In the circuit court on a charge of intoxication. Hassard plead guilty and was fined $1 and costs. Hassard has now fully recovered from the effects of his spree. A Difficult Art. There was a good story told of Dr. Joachim when he was in Hanover. During the winter there was a great deal of skating going on, of which he had a good view frcm his window. It looked so easy and every one seemed so happy that he thought he would have a try. Accordingly he strolled down and was soon pounced upon by the ice cleaner, who asked hi-- :i' lie wished to skate. Tbave never tritn1 yet." Joachim replied. "I will shov you, Herr Iiofconcertmelster," the iu;u said, screwing on a pnir of skates. "So Now stand tip. Now slide the rigb foot so and the other so. aud then offT Joachim slid his :igbt foot and pr parod for the left, but before he h; righted hirciKf'.f he was indeed "o. and sprawling on the ice.

STUDENT JUMPS; KILLED Riding in an Auto That Was Struck by Car. , Hamilton. O., Oct. 14. Joseph Stanley Emerson, of Uellefontalne, O., a student at Miami university, together with Donald Hooven. was riding in an automobile which was struck by a northbound Cincinnati Northern interurban car. Emerson, who apparently saw the car first, attempted to leap to safety, but fell under the rear truck of the traction car and was killed almost instantly. The automobile was wrecked, but Hooven escaped with minor cuts and bruises. soon as they manifest themselves. We believe as soon as the change. It will be several weeks, however, before the new toll board can be installed and until then the old board will be used. As soon as the new tell board is installed and the office moved over to the new building,-the new building will be opened to the general public and a day and evening set apart for the inspection of our equipment, which opportunity the Company hopes the citizens will take advantage of as the system is cerainly a remarkable work of ingenuity and mechanical perfection.
