EDITORS HERALD: Regarding the re-
cent investigation by the bank commits
sioners of the so-called National
building and loan associations, wish to
say that few people who have not in
vestigated the subject for themselves
know the difference between the
Nationals and Locals. The Nationals
employ canvassers, the Locals do not.
The Nationals charge from 81 to SO per
share entrance fees, which goes to the
canvasser. The Locals charge 10 cents
per share. In the Nationals one-sixth of
the monthly dues goes into their sex
pense fund.- and the stockholder never
gets any of this back. Locals pay to
Withdrawing stockholders all they have
paid in, no matter how soon they may
Withdraw i this no National does. The
profit in National goes monthly to the
officers, ina Local, to the stockholder.
In Los Angeles there are four Nationals

cartrid2, not explode. The second
shot ent.. the back Of Mr. Fricks
neck, and glancing downward passed to
the outside below tho armpit. Prick
made an exclamation and jumped to the
circular window on 9TH avenue and tried
In vain to open it. The assailant passed
quickly in front OF the desk, and, APP
preaching close to Mr.. Frick, frel again
The ball entered the muscle en- the left
side Of the neck, and passed around to q
Judgment under the right ear, where il
was later reached by the probe.
At this instant Mr.. Leishman threw
himself on the would-be assassin and
wrestled for possession Of the revolver.
Leishmau clutched the barrel and turned
the muzzle upward as the cartridge ex-
ploded, the ball entering the plastering
near the glass partition With agility
the desperate man drew dagger and
attempted to stab Leishman, who was
holding the assailant by the shoulder
and body. Mr.. Frick saw the CLEAN OF
the steel, and, although staggered by
the shock of the wounds and bleeding
profusely, jumped between the men and
seized the mans arm. The latter freed
himself from Leishman's grasp, and
plunged the dagger into Tricks right
side just above the hip, making an ugly
wound three inches long. He made an
other lunge. This time the knife struck
higher up, but the point struck q rib and
glanced down without inflicting much OF
an injury. Twice again was the knife
thrust at Prick, but he was merely
scratched by these last attempts
to kill him. By this time the Office
boys and Deputy Sheriff May, who en-
tered the office just as the first shot was
fired, threw themselves on the assassin.
May had drawn his revolver and was
about to shoot the fellow in the back
when Frick cried out: Don't kill him.
We have got him all right. Leave him
to the law" The man broke away and
tried to escape, but was secured and
taken to the Central Police Station.
In five minutes half-dozen surgeons
were at hand. Dir. Prick was told to lie
down on lounge, and after his clothing
had been removed the wounds were
washed and the bleeding stopped. Dur
Ing all this time the wounded man was
calm, had a perfect command of his
faculties, and apparently was less ex-
cited than any other person in the room.
From time 10 time he made suggestions
as to how badly he was hurt and q half
hour after the shooting dictated a mes
sage to Andrew Carnegie about the as
sault, In which he told him that he
thought he would be all right.

for many years, the scourge tho dreaded

But ia these days tho worst scourge that
threatens us, Is that dread invader, Con-

Pure Water.

Chicago is at the present time max
ing tremendous hubbub over its
drinking water. Some inventive
genius tied muslin rag over faucet
OF his water-pipe, and after allowing
the water to run for an hour discov-
cred in it large assortment Of strad-
dle-bugs that under the microscope
astOnished him, and greeted his nos
trils with very powerful and sicken-
ing odor. Since then every person
who could afford it has patronized the
soda fountain. If you feel that you
have taken too much ice water, or any
other that is bad, go and get box OF
the LAXATIVE GUM DROPS, and take
them according to directions, from
four to six every night. This will re-
move all the morbid matter from your
stomach and bowels, and act as Il
gentle laxative, restore the tone Of
your stomach, and entirely renovate your
whole system. These Gum Drops are
made of perfectly pure material. They
contain nothing deleterious and can be
given to the smallest child with perfect
impunity. They are the cheapest laxa-
tive In the world, for the 10-cent boxes
contain 10, and the 25-cent boxes from
SO to 40. Ask your druggist for them,
and do not take anything else.

The Suicidal Mania.

1t is worthy of note that the greatest
number of suicides are committed by
the Germans. The form of Geath they
choose is usually poisoning. In every
country three-quarters of all the suicides
are OF the male sex. 1t is almost inn
possible to realize the readiness with
which the Chinese commit suicide. II
requires the merest tride to induce a
Chinaman to hang himself. The first
instance OF suicide recorded in scripture
is that OF Samson b. G. lid. The
second is that OF Saul (B. G.. 1860

Desperate Effort Made to XIII III. Q. Frick
I'm His Pittsburg ONCE.


in His Pittsburg ONCE
A desperate and almost successful at
Tempt was made Saturday afternoon to
lssassinate Henry Clay Frick, Chair
man of the Carnegie Steel Company,
limited. His assailant was Alexander
Bergman, Russian Jew. who came
here from New York, says Pittsburg
dispatch, with the evident intention OF
removing the man who has been the
principal on the employers side in tho
great struggle now going on between
capital and labor in this city.
Mr.. Prick took lunch at noon, an re-
turned to his office at 1870 o'clock. He
! went 10 the fifth floor. where he remain
ed bat few minutes. He then came
down the elevator TO his private room
on the second floor, fronting on Fifth
avenue, where he seated himself at his
desk. The office of Mr.. Leishman, u
business partner of Mr.. Tricks, adjoins
that Of the chairman. Mr.. Leishman
came in and the two were holding u
private conference, no one else being
In the room. A few minutes before 3
o'clock Harry Heckley, the office boy,
noticed a man hastily push open the
swinging gate In the railing that runs
betweens the public Iortion and the in
closure whre the desks of the stenog "a
piers and clerks are located. There
was no one near the private Office door,
and the boy hurried up to ask the intru
der what he wanted, but he was too late,
as the stranger had already entere the
private apartment. AS he entered the
office Mr. Prick looked up, as did also
Mr.. Leishman, to see who it was. Mr.
Prick was examining bundle OF papers.
The man sprung within about five feet
Of Mr.. Prick, and, quickly drawing his
revolver, pulled the trigger. The first
