In Our Banking Rooms in
Masonic Rall Building.
Being centrally located, having recently installed new and
modern office fixtures, and having efficient and accommoda
ting office force under direct supervision of an officer of the
Bank, we feel justified in making the assertion that every
consideration consistent with good banking is accorded our
patrons.
Organized in 1903 with >15,000.00 capital and no resources
we now point with pardonable pride to our capital of
>25,000.00, undivided profits of over >10,000.00 and deposit
aoocunt of >70,000.00. In our SAVINGS DEPARTMENT
we pay interest at the rate of 4 per cent per annum.
In addition to our capital, stockholders’ liability and sur
plus„for the further protection of our depositors, we carry
insurance against burglary and daylight hold-ups.
If you are not a customer of this bank you are the loser.

LATE NEWS NOTES.
General.
Patrolman Freitage of New Or
leans' is a believer in the doing ot
one’s duty, however Spartanlike it
may be. He arrested his own wife
when she and a neighbor engaged in
a difficulty. He marched both women
to the police station and preferred a
charge against them of disorderly
conduct.
Vice President C. S. Sims of the
Delaware and Hudson Railroad,
speaking at a dinner in New York
City, declared that it was now the
general opinion among railway man
agers that government control of
steam railroads was an absolute ne
cessity. This control, however, Mr.
Sims explained, was not to apply to
the minor details of railroad-busi
ness. The charge that the railroads
of the country were heavily overcap
italized was no logger founded on
fact Mr. Sims declared. Whereas,
the railroads of the world, were cap
italized at $87,000 a mile, those or
the United States were capitalized at
only $5,000 a mile.
The good roads movement took
form at St. Augustine, Fla., when a
coterie of jprominent citizens met
with John A. Stewart of New York
in the Hotel Alcazar and organized a
national highway association. The
association will incorporate at once
and organize into a permanent band
of good road advocates. The associ
ation will urge upon congress to
have the war department construct
four great trunk roads, the same to
be in the nature of military roads.
The highways in question are pro
posed to reach across the nation,
one from Maine to Florida, one from
Maine to Oregon, one from Washing
ton to San Francisco and one from
Florida to Los Angeles. The propos
ed trunk roads, it is estimated, will
cost $20,000,000. This association, it
is believed, will spread to every state
in the union and result in strong
pressure on the administration to
father the plan.
Washington.
By an amendment to the naval ap
propriation bill, adopted by the sen
ate, the size of the two battleships
authorized is limited to 21,000 tons
and their cost, exclusive of armor
and armament, to $4,500,000 each.
The house provision was for two first
class battleships to cost, exclusive of
armor or armament, not exceeding
$6,000,000 each. It was the idea to
construct ships of 26,000 tons dis
placement. Mr. Clapp offered an
amendment, which was adopted, mak
ing the type of ships built similar to
the Utah and Florida, the two 21,000
ton Dreadnaughts now being con
structed and limiting their cost.
The problem of dealing with the
rapidly increasing Alaskan insane
has again been presented to con
gress. Secretary Garfield of the de
partment of the interior has request
ed an additional appropriation of $75,
000 to be made available because
practically all of the money provided
for contract obligation has already
been expended. Secretary Garfield
has reported to congress that the
number of insane from Alaska is in*
creasing constantly, and the reason
advanced is the extreme cold and iso
lation from civilization of many of
the inhabitants of that territory.
There is no place in Alaska where
the insane may be cared for.
Claiming that there is no suitable
memorial of Thomas Jefferson with
in the boundaries of the original
Louisiana purchase, David R. Fran
cis president of the Louisiana Pur
chase Exposition Company, appeared
before the house committee on ap
propriations to urge a provision in
the sundry civil appropriations bill
by which the government would re
linquish its claims to moneys in the
treasury of the exposition company.
This request is based upon the con
dition that the exposition company
erect a statue of Jefferson on the
grounds which were occupied by the
St Louis exposition at a cost of
about $200,000.
Mrs Joel Myers of Copley, Ohio,
near Akron, is the first woman in
the country to come forward to claim
the pension that was suggested by a
Missouri farmer in President Roose
velt's message on farm life for the
mother who has seven living sons
born on American soil. On her s<th
birthday Mrs. Myers writes: ‘I have
read the president’s message on the
condition of the farming commun
ity in which a Missouri farmer sug
gests that pensions be given to the
mothers who have raised seven stal
wart sons, all living on American
soil I lav claim to that pension, and
I will head the list of the American
mothers who come under the provis
ion. Today is my fifty-seventh birth
day anniversary and I have always
lived on a farm. I have spent 34
years on the same farm in Bath town
ship.”
The solicitation of campaign con
tributions from civil service employ
ees of the government is in violation
of the civil service act, according to
a decision of the United States su
preme court, and it is stated by per
sons who have studied the decision
that the republican leaders who sent
out letters to Georgia postmasters
during the last presidential election
campaign are liable to prosecution
and imprisonment.
No Americans lost their lives in
I the fire which destroyed the Flores
I Theater at Acajulico, Mexico, accord-
I ing to a dispatch received at the
state department from American Con
sul Maxwell K. Moorhead. Over two
hundred people were burned to death,
according to Consul Moorehead.
