most exposed lighthouses to reduce
the force of the waves It is thought
that this end might be attained by
placing, say, a couple of small
steel buoys in the most exposed direc-

some $50 feet. There should be a pull
ley on the buoy and slight rope, so
that the bag or appliance for distribut-
ing the oil could be hauled in when re-

A Bank President Rims His Associates In
business.
KANSAS Cry. Nov. S.-The directors
of the Maine Banking company are
hourly expecting telegram from
Maine announcing there the arrest OF
A. E. Blanchard, president OF the COM
pany, OH charge of obtaining money
by false pretenses. II is claimed ihat
Blanchard, by series OF shady trans.
actions, including forgery, has de-
fraudcd tho creditors out Of thousands
OF dollars. Blahcnard in 1890 went into
the banking business with capital OF
$4,000. Ee was made president OF the
bank, and while in the east secured the
services OF ]. r. Clark rs cashier. Mr..
Clark is young man and tho son of
Horatio Clark, director and wealthy
capitalist Of Maine. From Mr.. Clark
he secured $500 on 4 forged deed to
property which he did not own, but
which he pretended to sell TO Mr..
Clark.
DR.. B. A. Harding, OF Blackstone, ILL.,,
Blanchard's father-in-law and man OF
considerable wealth, is one OF Blanch-
ards victims. Blanchard would pre-
tend to make loans on gilt-edged se-
curity, would receive the money from
DR.. Harding with which to make the
loan, and then. it is charged, would APP
propriatc it to his OWL use. DR.. Hard
ing says The has been ruined. but de-
clines to say how much he has lost.
Another loser is said to be Bates Col
legc, the amount being $4,000. The
officers in Maine have been telegraphed
to arrest Blanchard.

where else in the world" asked he,
have the results OF great civil conflict
been SO wisely dealt with as in the
United States? Where else has such a
tremendous debt been so promptly dis
posed OF? Where else on the globe
could hostile flag pointing to hun
dreds OF United States flags decorating
the hall been found floating over a re-
united and happy people in the lifetime
OF men who fought against it? How is
this to be accounted for but by the in
telligence and patriotism OF the people

evening in Mozart hall, in the Eighth

are good many members OF the de-

are so remote from the one church in
the city that it is very inconvenient for
them to attend the services, and this
led to the movement. Those interest.

correspondent has discovered horrible
conspiracy on the part OF the Rcpubli-

majority OF the people who come into
tho state in consequence are Republi-
cans. Would the Register have the en-
terprises which bring these Republicans
in to develop the resources OF the state
abandoned? 1t leaves one to suppose
that it would prefer eternal stagnation
