SACRED LITERATURE SCTOO) On Thursday, August 13, the Chicago sum- mer school of American institute of sacred the literature will open its anuual session at Evauston. EPIDEMIC OF SUICIDES, Ono of the circumstances attendant upon this hot weather noticed at the coroners oftice, is the great increase of the number of deaths by suicides and unaccountable doaths, pre- sumably suicidal. In many instinces these are cases in which people, sick from chronic diseases, have been made despondent or tom- pororily insane by the intolerablo heat: in othors it seems us 1f death was sought solely as a' reliof from tho torturcs of August weather. Poisoning and drowning seem to be the methods most resorted to. Whether theso deductions are correct or not, it is a plain foct that wih the ot ' wave as come a tidal wave of mortality, and what appears to be an epidemic of suicides. Since last Thursday seven- teen cases of suicide have been reported av the coroner’s offico, and a numoer of myster- ious deaths might prubably be added. NO GRAIN SHIPPED.

A letter was receivod from the expert accouutonts ap- pointed by the committee to examine the books of the KKeystone bank stating that their report would be submitted to the committeo on Tuesday next. By reason of the incom- ploteness of the work the experts ave still unable to determine what part of the money Tost by Bardsloy is duo the city. A 1oud discussion took placo us to whether Expert Brown should make public the numes of & great number of persons who appear on Bardsley’s check book as having received money from the ex-city treasurer. It was contenaed that it would be a great injustice 0 publish the names of theso men, most of whom might have already paid the loans made them. Finally it was decided that Mr, Brown should read the names on thestubs of the chock books. The list comprised botween seven and elght bundred names, but the ma- jority of the sums paid out by Bardsley were for swall amounts. A letter from District Attorney Graham was received withdrawing his request that the committee should not, pending the in- vestigations being made by him, call before thew certain bank presidents and oficers for the purpose of interrogating them as to the alleged puyment of interest to Bardsley by their banks. \When the committoe adjourned Mr. Brown was still engaged in reading the Aist of names of those to whom Bardsley paid mon eys. Expert Brown testified that entive de- ficiency of Bardsley to city and state aftor crediting him with $)50,000, amount of due oills in Keystone banlk, was £353,000, The session of the' committée continued three hours, but littie thut was not previously known was developed.

They came back with red noses and facos and soft spots in their hearts for Major Benham, Captain Coolidgo and all the range offcers and men who still remain at the delightful place. The trip was made on the iavitation of Major Benham, the inspector of small arms practice department of the Platte, aud under whom the departmental competitions for the past two years have resulted in scores greatly in excess of those proviously made here. The boys reached the rangeat 9:50 a.m, leaving tho B, & M. depot at 9:30, each carrying his rifle and gforty rounds of cartridges and dressed in fatigue uniform. They were in command of Lioutenant Wilson, They were hospitably welcomed by tho major and” Captamn_Coolidge, camp com- mander and the other officors of the range. Several games of hand ball and lawn ten- nis were indulged in, the scores in the latter being as follows: Woodbine and Scarle, 6: MeCormick and Aitchison, 3: Gray and Howre, 6; McCormick and Morrow,;l4; Gray and Howze, 63 Wilson and Morrow, Dinner was served at noon, the ufll(-vr-t messing with officers of the range, while the privates took their meat with the privates of the regular army. mainly cavalry men, who liave just reported proparatory to engaging in tho cavalry carbine and revolver competi- tion.

It was difficult, consequently, for some of the boys at first to reach the tar- get, and the dificilty was augmented in the skirmish runs, whero it is not easy for an ex- perienced man to find the mark often within thirty seconds at long range. Notwithstanding, the men really did excel- lent work, and were complimented by Major Benham and Captain Coolidge. The informa- tion obtained by tho guards preparatory to the shooting was imparted in a most kindly wanner by thoso gentlemen and was hearti- 1y appreciated by the visitors, The shooting was conducted according to army regulations, the targets being marked by u corps of men, the shots recorded by tho usual number of scores, and the records be- ing compilod by the regular statistical ofti- cers, The firing’s wero conducted by Captain olidge.

In casting about for remedy, it occurred to me that Ayer's Sarsa- parilla had been used in my father's family, with excellent success, and I thought that what was good for the father wonld also b good far the son. Three or four bottles of this medicine entirely cured me, and 1 have not since —in more than two years —had a Doil, pimple, or any other eruptive trouble. 1 can conscientionsly speak in the highest terms of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and m: years' experience in the drug busine ables me to speak intelligently.
