A BANK DRAINED DRY.
MORE FACTS IN RELATION TO DILL
COMING TO LIGHT

At Various Times Daring the Year He Had
S1,O0O,oOO Credited to His Personal
Account-s3O,OOO Worth Of Good Paper
Discounted by Him.
CLEARTIELD, Oct. 16.-[ Special. RE
ceiver Richard Haywood, of Mercer, is
here, and has charge of the First National
Bank. Examiner Miller had affairs in good
shape, so that the receiver can go ahead
with the settlement. Neither will say any,
thing regarding the affairs, but facts regard
ing the bank have leaked out.
1t seen:s that Dill has been doing a tre-
mend0us business during the past wear, his
accounts reaching nearly 81 ZOO, 900 since
last fall That is, he has had that much
credited to his individual account at various
times Another secret just out is that of
the $40. 900 claimed to have been drawn out
by depositor during the last three days
before the bank closed. Dill and his people
drew S37 900. This left not So, 900 to be
drawn by the depositors. 1t is also to be
shown that Dill took away during the last
Two DAYS S35, 600 worth of good paper and
had it rediscounted, putting his own indi-
vidual paper in its place The officers claim
that they can recover this, and will try to
do so. Some of this paper went to the
CurweEsviIle bank, of which Dill's son-in-
law is cashier
Efforts are now being made to trace The
rest of the paper and enter proceedings
against the holders. officials say there are
six separate and distinct charges to be made
against Dill, and that they will insist on
having him tried separately on each. The
officers of the bank are doing all in their
power TO aid the receiver in saving some
thing from what is now known to be the
mere wreck of bank When the doors
closed Wednesday, September 30, there
were but 81, 400 left in the bank vaults,

This recalls many of the jokes that
were perpetrated on Senator Tabor
during his brief career in the Senate,
one Of them being to the effect that he
made a scratch on his desk with a dla-
mond, declaring that he had not long to
say in Congress and was determined to
make his mark at once.

w.t ylretula AT no worlds Fair.


The Legislature will be asked to up
propriate 100000 to prepare and main
tain at the Worlds Fair worthy ex'
hibit Of the resources and activities
Of West Virginia. II was to be expect
ed that somebody would think this
amount too large for the State to bear.
For the Centennial exhibit West Vir'
ginia appropriated $4,000.
That exhibit should have been much
better than 1t was. Yet with all its
crudeness and inadequacy it attracted
the attention Of capitalists and made its
impression on the country. From that
exhibit West Virginia has pro6ted ini.
mensely. II 1t had cost SlOOOOO the
money would have been well Invested.
The State is better able now than it was
then 10 appropriate money 10 advertise
itself, and there Is much more encour-
agement to dot.
Every move that has been made on
the line of development has paid i'm
mensely. Vast areas of land without
market value have attracted the keen
eyes Of investors; comfort, even wealth,
has come to the "land.poor;" the wilder.
ness has been quickened by the touch
Of industry railroads have found their
way where there was not 80 much as a
bride path; the State is one Of tho mar
wells of the time.
To meet the country's expectation
West Virginia must stand in the front
rank Of, exhibitors at the Worlds Fair.
The amount OF money asked, If well ex-
pended, will place West Virginia where
she ought TO stand by comparison.
The appropriation can be taken out Of
three annual levies, that for 1901, for
1892 and for 1903.
But this Is not oil. A fair revaluation
oflands, to place the 80 called wild lands
on the books at some nearer approach to
their value, will bring into the treasury
revenues so much greater than the
present that tho appropriation will be
met without being felt.
That the Legislature will provide for
this revaluation OF lands which now are
virtually not assessed at all, cannot be
doubted. The proposition is so plain
that there is no room for plausible oppo.
sition. The way is clear for the appro.
printicn and the need and justification
apparent.
