The following ia a auminnry .,( tli ro viaiona of l lie Torre if Bankruptcy R.ll, now ienlinK l congreti: ' A voluntary bankrupt ia one alio peti tion to be, and ia alu(igel audi ; an in voluntary l,iirof4 ia oca who has been adjudged itii.li in ft auit trooght by bia j creditor a. The tigbta and dutiea of vol j notary and inTolontary bankruiita and ! their creditor! aia identical. Farmeri and wage earuert may go vol untarily into bankruptcy, bet their cred itora can not bring Bait in bankruptcy agaioatlbem. Anyone except corporation, irreapect ive of whether tbf?y owe more or leta than 10JO, may become a voluntary bankrupt. I'eraoDB, tirmi, and corjoraiiooa (ex cept farners and wage earneri) who owe 11000 or more, and haye coinojit'ed an act ol bankruptcy according to the evi dence in a fair and impartial trial, be fore a jijry if detired, may 1h ailjndged bankrupta upon the petitk-n of creditora. An act of 1'aokrupUy by a debtor con aista of conduct or acta calculated to de fraud' the creditora or insolvency followed by a protracted default of paymeuta doe or a failure to prevent an inequitable distribution of tl e estate. Creditora need not proceed against a debtor who baa cottraitted an act of bankruptcy any mote Iban tbey need sue every debtor who ia in utlaoll in payment. A petition can bo filed against a debtor who baa committed an act of bankruptcy by three creditora who together have un secured claims for or over 50o; if the re are less (ban twelve creditors, one of them holding such a i laim may file ti e petition. After the sail is begun the de fendant will be aerved as in ordinary suits, and will have "his day in court" and a trial-by jury if be desires. If a judgment in a bankruptcy suit ia for the plaintiffs, the defendant will be adjudged a bankrupt. In that event be will retain the exemptions allovied by the lawa of the State in which he liveB, aud, if an honeet man, wiil be released from hia debts, and thereby giveu an op portunity to bein life anew aod be re lieved from the demanda of his creditors to make good bia former miefortuues. Il the judgment is for the defendant tbe petition will be diamiseed at the cost of plaintiffs, aa io other auits. The property of tbe debtor will retrain in biB poeaBsion and under hia control until after adjudication that he U a bank runt, or the diatuibttal of the petition, un less the credit or 8 shall give bond aud se cure its attachment ; in that event the debtor may tetain poeteBsion of hia prop erly upou giving a foribcoming bond. The United Males di.lrict courts will have jurisjiction of theadminittration of odukiuptcy estates. They chd not be adinibisiered in the State courle, btcauee Coiigteua haa no power to compel btatea Cum ts to administer uational laws. State courts will retain their iuiisdic- lion to bear and determine controversies between tbe trustee and adverse claim ants concerning properly rizbln. Controversies may be arbitrated or compromised under tbe direction cf the court. The officer 8 of referee aud trustee axe the only oues created by the act. The referee ia au assistant judg?, and will be appointed in such numbers and in Euch localities aa i!l le best calcu lated lo secure a prompt administration of the act aud serve the convenience of all parties baviug bankruptcy business. The trustee will receive the title of tbe bankrupt to his property and administer the estate. He will be elected by the creditors in each caee. He may recover all property which has been hidden away or fraudently conveyed. Tbe clerk will receive a $10 tiling fee in each case aud no further compensa tion. The refetee will receive 1 per cent upon the not amount paid in dividends to creditors from each estate administered before him, or one-half of 1 per cent Irotu estates in which thoto ia a coin po sition, and a tiling fee io each case of $10. The trustee will receive 5 per cent on the first $5,000 paid in dividends to cred itots, 2 per ceut ou tbe second like amount, and 1 per cent ou additional amounts, aud in each cato a filing fee of 3. The compensation of the referees and trustees will not be paid until the es tates have been administered and tbe records returned to court. Making the amount of the fees re ceived and the time of payment depend upon the prompt and economical per formance of their dutiea by the referee and trustee will reeutt io the quick and economical administration of baukrupt estates. The foes ol the clerk, referee, and tttisUe need not he paid by a propo.-ed Voluntary bankrupt who tiles with his petition an affidavit that he is without and cannot obtain the money w ith which to pay such feea. The expenses of admiuiatenog the es tate will not bo paid until reported iu detail under oath aud allowed by the court. The debts which have priority are ex penses ol caring for the property,' filing fees, costs, wages due workmen, clerks or servants which have been earned within three months, not excedlog $300 to each one, and debts entitled to prior ity by State or uational laws. Compromises, Involving more time in which to pay or a deduction of the amount lo t paid, may be readily an cheaply ffirtl between honest debtors and their creditor, nnder very car-ful ri'.tii' tlnna, after a volnntary or Invol nrdary pHilion haa ben filed, and either before or after Ibo defendant haa Un .djud.ed bankrupt. Compromises which have been fraud ulently obtained may be ret aride upon application made within six months after they were granted. A petition for a discharge may be filed by a bankrupt, not a corporation, after two and within the next four months after the adju licatioo, or conditionally within the next six months, but not af terwards; it mmt be filed in the court where the proceeding are pending, The discharge will be granted ODlets tbe bankrupt has been convicled of baviog commit ed some one of the acts forbid den by the bill giving a preference which lias not been surrendered, know ingly made a rnatetiilly fale-j statement in writing for the purpose cf obtaining credit, made a fraudulent transfer of bis property, or fraudulently destroyed or neglected to keep books or records show ing his financial condition. Discharges which have been fraudu lently cU lined may be set aside upon pplicBitort made within two years after tbey were granted. Fraudulent bankrupts, embezzling offi cers, and creditora who have proven false claims may be punished by imprison mcnt. Notices w ill be sent, at trifling cost by the referee, to all creditors of each step in the proceedings, including tbe bear ing on the application of tbe bankrupt for a discharge. Creditors may be beard at ii'l times io suppart of, or iu opposition to, any pro piscd step in '.be administration of tbe estate. Claims may be proven by tbe simple oath of the creditor, and will be allowed, upon being filed in person or sent by mail, without the payment of any filing fee; if it is thought that an allowed claim s fraudulent it mty be suspended and investigated. Preferences are forbidden, and those which have been given may be set aide if proceedings intervene within four months after tbey have been given. Valid liens will he npheld; fraudulent ones will be set aside. Present legitimate busineii method will not be interfere! with by tbe bill. It is not a measure relating to transac tions between hones. Bilvent penons, firms, or corporations; bat for the relief of beneel iasolveut debtors, the preveD tiou of dishonesty, aad the administra tion of tlie efttej of inwilvent and dis honeof debtors more economically anil eciitably than it ii possible to do un I prt sect laws. The bid contains the provisions, hi addition t3 the foregoing, neces;ry . to make it a permanent and complete equitable bankruptcy ode. Llncoln's Horse Trade. Abraham Lincoln was fond of a good story and it is a well known fact that be often illustrated an important point in the business at baud by resorting to bia favorite pastime. Probably one of the bett he ever told he related of himself when he was a lawyer in Illinois. One day Lincoln aod a certain judge, who was an intimate friend of bis, were ban tering each other about horses, a favorite topic of theirs. Fiually Lincolu said : "Well, look here judge, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll make, a horse trade with you, only it must be upon these stipulations: Neither party shall sea tho other's horse until it is produced here iu the courtyard of tbe hotel and both' parties must trade horses. If either party backs out of I ha agreement he does bo under a forfeit of $25." "Agreed," cried the judge, and both he and Lincoln went in quest of their re spective animals. A crowd gathered anticipating aome fun, and w hen the judge returned firet, the laugh was uproarons. He led, or rather drugged, at the end of a baiter, the meaueat, boniest, riVstariog ud tupod bliud in both eye3 that ever picsned tuif. But presently Lincoln came along crryiug over his thoiilder a carpeuter's borte. Then the mirth of the crowd was (urioua, Lincoln sol emnly set bia horse down anil nilontly surveyed the judge's animal with a com ical look of infinite, disgudt. "Well, judge," he finally eid, "this is the tirst time I ever got the wort of it io a horee trade. Harper' Round Table, Denmark Will Sell. Denmark has no use for her West In dian islands, and we might as well Bell them to the United States'. They would Ire of value to that country, es pecially the principal one, St. Thomas, which Admiral Porter described iu 1805 as lying right in the track of all vessels from Europe, Brazil, the East Indies or the United States. St. Thomas is "a small Uibraltat of itself, that could not be attackod by a uaval foico There is uo harbor la tho West Iodic better fitted thju St. Thomas for a uaval sta tion. In fine, it is the keystone to the arch of the West Iudies." Copeutwgui Politiken. I have a stray stock dog. Black aod white, bobtail. 0ner can have same by payingcharges. D, II. Kkio. South Deer Creek. A WONDERFUL CALENDER. There is nothing more wonderful In the chronnglcal and tlmt-keepins; tin than the "Theoaophlcal Calendar Ac cording to the Secret Doctrine," From the thecsopblcal point of vie-; tbe four aires areas follows: Seta Yin (goldeej age), 1,718,000 year ; Treats Uga (silver age), 1,204,000 years; Dwapar t copper age), 804,000 years; Kail Yoga (Iron age), 432,000 years. The loUl of the fonr ages make one Maba Yoga, or great ags, of 4,30,000 years, On thon:a&d Maba Yegss taafce or- Ka!p or Day of Brahma, equal to 1,000 times 1,330,000 years. After the expiration of that unthinkable period of time tbe night of Brabms, equal in duration to the length of the day, comes on, and the earth vaniahss Iron the plans of ex i.tence. Throe hundred and sixty days ud uIkIiH of Brail a. make ess year Brahma, and 100 years of Brahrra mako the great Kalpa, a period of 311,040,000. 000,000 years, after which tbe sun nod the entire solar system plunge into im penetrable night, and everything oa tb "objective .'plane" is destroyed. Than comes tbe period known as the great night, and which ia eqnalfin length to the great Kalpa. After the ret nigbt haa lifted its sable mantle a new solar system is formed and evolution begins anew. According to tbe doctrine of tbe the- osophtsts, we are now living in tho Kali Yuga, the last of lbs four ages, and it began nearly 5.000 years ago, with tho death of Krishna, who died 3,102 years before our era began. .-.The first minor cycle of Kali Ynga will end in tbe yean 1897-98, but we atill have -omething like '427,000 years before we arrive at tho end of tbe present age, Kali Yuga ia also known to tbe theo sophists as tbe Black Age. It is an ago of spiritual darkness io which the hu man race pays for the misdeeds which are recorded .against it in the previous ages. St. Louis I.epublic. Weyler's Cruel Orders. For pure brutality and reckless waste of human Iife.it would be difficult to mt'ch Weyler's order that all men not Sanu-h soldiers, who are caught on mile away from a fortified city shall to kilUI. It ia hard to believe that in this m of the world a nation calling herself civilized can countenance the taking of human life without justification or even the form of a trial, but there seems to be no reason to donbt the report, and it is qnite in keeping with the general tone of reports of Spanish cruelty In Cuba. Weyler was called "the butcher" before he rose to hia present rank, and he eema determined to sustain his reputa- ton. The consequence of his order can i) well imagined. With the men dead, the crops destroyed, the cattle slaugh tered, nothing but starvation is left for the women and children. The" plague of smallpox ia ravaging the island, too, and thus the dreadful state of affiirs in In lia, at w hich the world turns sick, is repeated in Cubi on a smaller stle, but wuh little, if nay, less intensity. Phila delphia Ledger. An Alleged Cure for ConsmpUo n New York, Jan. 27 .The unusual in terest taken by physicia-ts and the pub lic in the treatment of pulmonary tuber culosis, or conaumpti u, or consumption, as it is commonly lullad, will-ba in creased by tbe news that a serum has bean discovered which, it is claimed, will prove xt lis absolute cure for tbe disease in its stage, and will greatly benefit patients and arrest tbe progress of the disease in its advanced forms. The serum is the discovery of Professor Maria Giano, of Geuoa, Italy. A small quantity was brought to this country aod physicians of St. Luke's hospital began experimenting with it a week ago. Tbe serum is obtaiued from tbe blood of horses which have been inoculated with tuberculosis germs io small quantities and continued under this treatment for several months. Its effei t is to produce n the bload of horses soma quality ol re sistance to death, which, when intro duced into the human system, susUlns the reeistiug power. The serum theory ii therefore sx actly opposite to the theory of vaccina tion, which, introiluces'garms of the dis ease into tbe system, and by producing the disease in a mud form reoders the body impervious to its further attacks. The New York board of health estl mates that G00O erons died of con sumption in that city during tbe past year, that upward of 20,000 are afflicted with it now and that from thirty to fifty are infected daily. It is the belief of the board that the disease can bo extermi nated if proper precautions are taken and it urges the adoption of measures to that end. It seems these opinions are shared by similar beards in other largo cities ol tbe East and it is likely that far-reaching efforts will be eventually mad to Btatnp out this plague. Tiio stale road cotumiationer of Ohio Is advocating the construction of steel wagon tracks instead of macadam roads. The time may come soou, on account ol the decreasing cobt of Its production, when a steel trsck will oe the cheapest that cau be built, cousidoriog durability. But any other kind of permanent high way would make a good foundation,-. Stiteaman.
