that is missing was borrowed or taken
without our knowledge. There is no
collateral whatever to cover the short:
age The bank examiner was at Free-

uot discovered until Wednesday night
when we found that the balance sheets |
on our accounts with banks where we
have part of our surplus did not tally.
Following this Cashier Everett con-
fessed to me and the situation was ex-
plained to the board of directors.”
Everett and Beckley claim the
money was sunk in the Pennsylvania
paper mille of Catawissa.
The capiial stock of the bank is
$50,000. It was organized in April, |
1902, and Mr. Everett has been its
cashier ever since. He is under $15,- |
000 bond with a Baltimore surety com-
pany. It is said al! the depositors will |
be fully protected.

85 DEAD IN BLAZING CARS
Head-On Crash On Denver & Rio
Grande Near Pueblo, Colo.
Pueblo, Colo., March 17.—Thirty-five
persons were crushed to death in
a collision of two passenger trains
near Adobe, Col, on the Denver & Rio
| Grande railway, and more than a score
| of the victims were incinerated beyond
identification by a fire that destroyed
the wrecked coaches. More than a
score were injured, but all will prob-
ably recover.
The wreck was due to undelivered
orders, heavy mountain grades, a
| blinding snow storm, a sharp curve
and the slippery condition of the rails.
Only the locomotives, baggage and day
coaches were wrecked, the sleeping
cars escaping almost unscathed.
The impact was scarcely noticeable,
but the trains crashed and ground into
each other. The helper engine of the
westhound train acted as a cushion,
minimizing the force and weight of the
heavy mountain engines. This helper
was crushed together like so much
paper, and the larger locomotives ran
through the mesh of iron and plowed
each other to pieces.

The rope broke and the negro's body
fell, and the mob quickly riddled it
with bullets. Sheriff Shipp and the
jailer were locked in a bath room
while the mob secured the prizoner,
Boy Shot In Quarrel.
Philadelphia, March 20.—A quarrel
over a 10-cent brass ring here resulted
in the killing of Herbert McArthur, a
16-year-old boy, by Willlam Johnson,
8 companion, who is only 14 years of
age. They had a dispute over the pos-
| gesgion of the ring and began to fight.
Before anyone could interfere John-
son took a small revolver from his
pocket and shot McArthur. The latter
died in a few minutes. Johnson was
arrested.
Struck By Train In Snow Storm.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., March 20.—While
driving through the snow storm, Frank
Strussor, of Wapwallopen, failed to
see an approaching Pennsylvania pas-
genger train, which struck the wagon
he was driving. Both horses were
killed and he was so badly injured
that he died at the county hoapital
here shortly afterward.

4 SATISFYING STORY.
It Worked Both Ways In Behalf of
the Congressman,
Some years ago there came to Wash-
ingion a representative in congress
from lowa who was an ardent cham-
pion of the cause of prohibition.
One day a friend from home dropped
in to see the congressman, During the
course of his stay he had oceasion to
use his pocketknife, which the repre-
sentative much admired. This knife
had in it a hook, “designed,” so the
friend said, “to remove stones that
might become fastened iz a horse's
hoof on a rocky road.” Finally, seeing
the intense admiration of the congress-
man for the knife, the friend gave it to
him. When the statesman had reached
home and had shown the gift to his
wife she laughed.
“Jobmn,” said she, “any man who has
served three terms in the state senate,
been lieutenant governor and had two
terms in congress must be a pretty
good man if be doesn’t know a cham-
pagune opener from a hoof cleaner.”
Somehow the story got out and was
copled by nearly every newspaper in
Iowa. One day the cougressman met
the newspaper man whom he under
stood to be the author of the first squib
in the matter. .
“You did me a great service,” smil-
ingly said the representative to the
correspondent, “All the prohibitionists
are taking my wife's view of my ig-
norance, and all the ‘antis’ are insist-
ing that I'm a devil of a good fellow
for imposing so successfully on my
wife. It works in my behalf which-
ever way you take it.” — Saturday
Evening Post.
Obedient,
“Now, Tommy,” said the mother of a
small boy as she paused in the disecl-
plinary slipper exercise, “what made
you eat the whole of that pie?”
“'C-canse,” sobbed Tommy, “you
t-told me to n-pever do t-things by
b-halves.” Chicago News.
She Got the Blessing.
“That young groom,” said the minis-
ter after the ceremony, “gave me a fif-
ty ollar fee. What a blessing!”
“308” said his wife, with her hand
out, “it is more blessed to give than to
receive.” — Exchange,
Strangers.
Mrs, de Fashion (at a children's par-
ty)—Marie! Nursegirl — Yes, ma'am.
Mrs. de Fashion—It's time for us to go
home. Which of these children is mine?
