Farmers Bank stock.

Nearly every day during the last week stock
in the Farmers Bank has been offered for sale
on our streets, S5l and upward being the price
paid for shares on which $50 had been pail.
The bank is doing well and the stock is
worth It's face value To all such citizens as can
afford to loan out their money at Nix per tent.
But as matter of fact a large per cent. OF
the stockholders are borrowers themselves
and they have begun 10 learn that the owner
ship of bank stock is Improbable 10 the man
who has To borrow money at ten per cent. dis
connt, and investors are begipning TO learn
that $50 loaned at S per cent. brings more
money than 500 at six per cent. The dullest
OF our citizens are beginning to learn thing
or two In finances.
This may be said TO be one of the best les
sons which the Alliance has taught the peo-
pie.
The leaders in that noble order who induced
poor men to subscribe for bank stock at such
serious loss 10 themselves will likely be re-
memhered with great affection by their
brethren.

Fatally Injured-The Fall Was Sud.
den and Without Warning,

CCNC1SNAr1, O., June 17.-One of the most
fearful accidents in the history of this vicin-
fly was that of a fall of bridge which was
in course of construction over the Licking
river, between Cov,ngton and Newport, Ken
lucky. Forty-6ve wOrkmen were on the
escaped unhurt The others were either
killed by the crashing of the iron and tim
bers or were drowned in the water.
The cause is surmised to be the weakening
of the false work. The river has washed out
the earth about the supports. and it is said
one of the contractors SAID day or two ago
that he was afraid the structure would not
stand under the weight of the heavy material
But still they kept at work.
A force of fOrty-tEree men. under the direc-
ton of Robert and William Baird, contrac.
tors. were engaged in putting in place the
heavy iron work on the main span. Sud-
denly, without warning, there was q crack
hing sound of breaking timbers, q sudden
swaying of the structure, and q headlonS
plunge of the whole mass of timbers, iron
and helpless workmen into the muddy waters
of Licking river, fifty feet below. 1t was al
most like the laundering of q ship. A very
few forms were seen to be struggling on the
surface; others were drowned or crushed by
the material. In short time the river was

Seventeen bodies we're taken out of the

Results at Chicago Figured.

NEW YORK, June 15.-Up to this week the
managers of Senator Hills canvass for the
presidential nomination, had not given out
any figures tending to verify their claim that
the senator has more than even chance 10
win at Chicago. Last week a prominent
leader of Tammany said Hill would have at
least 26O votes on first ballot and Cleveland
probably 500. The national delegates from
the midwinter state convention yesterday
canvassed the roll of states carefully, with
these resulting totals: Total delegates, 1913;
necessary to choice, (two-thirds), 500. Cleve-
land 49,, Hill 1856: Palmer AZ; Carlise 35 !;
Boies %. These figures are arrived at by
splitting delegations, but it is believed most
of the states will adopt the unit rule. If
they do, Hills vote will be reduced to 215
and Cleveland's increased to SIS; or within
% of the requisite number. In this event the
vote of either Iowa or Illinois would nomi-
nate the ex-prcsident, unless South Carolina
and Virginia, whose delegations are claimed
to be equally divided, should cast their AZ
votes for Hill. They feel confident that if
Cleveland does not win in two ballots his
chances are destroyed. Richard Croker,
Edward Murphy, and Lieutenant Governor
Sheehan, start for Chicago to-day. Senator
Hill held protracted conference with Lieu
tenant Governor Sheehan and Edward
Murphy.
