An Old Certificate.

| 1t isn't often that an individual
makes bank deposit and leaves the
certificate of deposit long enough for
| the interest to amount to almost twice
as much as the original deposit. As a
general rule bank depositors use their
money at least once year. The laws
of Missouri compel a depositor to re-
new his deposit certificate every ten
years, and if this is not done the certif-
icate becomes outlawed and the money
| reverts to the bank where it is deposit
ted. 1t is very seldom that deposi-
tor neglects to look after his money for
over ten years, but when it does occur
the banks. as rule, allow it to remain
a reasonable time until something def
mite is known concerning the deposit
tor.
On February 27, 1858, when the
Boatmen's Bank was the Boatmen's
Saving Institution. Stephen Moriarty
deposited in that institution $75, for
which a certificate was issued bearing
interest at the rate of 6 per cent per
annum for the first thre.. months and
) per cent ..for all time after maturity
until presentation"
When the three months were up the
certificate was renewed for another
three months. From that time-May
%. 1S5S-until it was paid. on Decem-
Der 81. 1891. the certificate was not
seen at the bank. The certificate is
something of a curiosity. 1t is slight
ly colored with age, and is said to have
been the Oldest unpaid certificate in the
State of Missouri. 1t was signed by S.
Blood and Charles Hodgman, President
and Cashier, who are both dead. The
renewal of the certificate was made in
the handwriting of Samuel A. Gaylord,
then a teller in the bank, and the GER
tificate itself was written by w. III.
Thompson, who was also teller ut
that time, but is now the cashier of the
bank. Not only have principal officers
died, but the original bank itself has
ceased to exist. Mr.. Thomson said
yesterday that previous to the present
alton of the certificate at the bank for
payment in December he did not know
to whom the money belonged. He
knew there was an unpaid certificate
out, he had the number. the amount
and the date it was issued, and it was
carried forward every six months the
same as if the depositor was known.
The officials thought that some day
the certificate would show up, and the
offspring had no intention of taking
what the parent refused to accept, and
when Mr.. w. II. Thompson, of the
Bank of Commerce, who was the ad-
ministrator of the estate of Mr.. Mori-
arty, presented the certificate, the
Boatmen's Bank readily paid the prin-
cipal and interest. The interest at 6
per cent for three months was $1.13,
and interest for thirtythree years, sew
en- months and three days at 5 per cent
amounted to S125.96, making total of
5000. o9. which the certificate called
for and which was paid. The certifi-
cate-is considered by the bank officials
as one of the greatest curiosities in
their eollection.-G Globe Democrat.

Going Where the Woodbine Twineth

Something like a year ago one would
have thought, in fact most people did
| think, that the F. A. & l. L. was going
to overrun the country as badly as Hol-
| change has come with the attempt to
make the Alliance the tail of third
party kite, or the third party the tail
of the Alliance kite: for it is really
heard to tell which is the tail and which
is the kite. At the last state meeting
| there was a small attendance, no en-
thusiasm, and membership of less
| than six thousand reported. To those
inside, who know how such reports are
| made out. this means an actual mem
bership. Ia good standing. of one half
or perhaps two-thirds of that reported.
In this county the January meeting
was held on the 9th inst. and out of
thirty odd only thirteen unions were
represented; and these mostly by green
back and third party delegates. The
principal business done was to remove
their county lecturer because he reject
ed the sub-treasury bill. condemned the
income tax, and ridiculed the idea that
money could be made out of paper. He
is farmer: has long been a close stu
duent of economies: and bears the rep
utation of being ready off-hand speak
er, and. though an independent, he has
voted lately with the Democrats on ac-
count of their tendency toward absolute
free trade. He criticised a secret so
ciety that dealt in politics, but tolerat-
ed this because no political action was
under the obligation of secrecy: and
the passwords and ritualistic exercises
rendered to promote order in the meet
ings: while the discussion of public
questions was an undoubted good. But
he protested, persistently. against the
refusal to submit the organic laws of
on constitutional questions. to the in
dividual members, or the body polite.
as contrary to Democracy, a violation
of the principal safeguards of popular
government, and especially inconsist-
ent in a society whose professed object
was to teach the masses sound economy
and the principles of self-government.
He was not present at the meeting and
was given no opportunity to speak, or
defend himself. The state secretary.
who was present at the meeting. and
engineered the removal, was the organ
izer of this officers local union. Atthe
meeting at which this union was organ
lied the deposed lecturer criticised very
severely the very planks he is now
turning out of Office for objecting to;
but he was assured by the organizer
that he would be as free inside as out:
and il was pointed out that in the ritu-
al the candidate was assured. before he |
took the obligation, that there was
nothing in the Alliance that would con-
flict with his religious or political
views Thereupon the officer in ques-
ton said. with such explanation,
publicly made. / put my name down.
How many will follow?,' And forty
one men ali followed. He is serving
his second term as lecturer in his local
Alliance, but viii now leave it in dis
gust, and probably every man in it will
