This week every man in town is
a king for he controls vote. Now
that nomations are all made there
will be more liquid refreshments
dispensed in the next few DAYS
than will ever be equaled in like
period all summer. Meanwhile
the gaudy and grandly illumined
circus poster must have its face
covered by the public announcement
that Tom, Deck or Harry is the
peoples choice, and no ones else.
The period of an American local
election is trying one to the can
didate and his supporters, but none
the less trying to the lover of peace
and quiet. 1t is the saloon mans
harvest, and the wind that blows
favorably to the printer and the
bill poster.

PECULIAR BANkING METHoDs.



KANSAS CITY Mo. Dec H. More develop-
ments occurred today in the investigation
into the banking methods Of John Reid
the president of the Western Trust and
Savings association II appears from tho
evidence that Reid was president, board OF
directors, cashier and lot Of other
officials combined. Reid was on the stand
all day IL was testified that among other
papers, q debit slip containing the only
evidence of an Indebtedness of John Reid
Of $4,000 20 the bank was destroyed on the
day of the suspension Reid also testified
that he took ont Of the bank pupprs rep
resentinE real estate which. when the
bank was organized, had been turned in
az $4,000 of the capital stock Of $50, 900
and had substituted property in Kansas
City, Kas., scarcely worth the incum-
brauce
The deeds to the bank of Kansas City
property were put on record after the bank
had closed its doors The Home Saving
bank was afterwards succeeded by the
Western Trust and Savings bank. The
latter concern did business until law
was passed prohibiting the use OF the
word "bank' 10y trust companies, when
the word association" was substituted.
Then the banking house of ''John Reid.
with u capital of 5000, was organized
This bank then transacted the banking
business and the trust company, that is to
say, John Reid continued to deal in com
mercial paper. Reid reported at length
how the capital stock of the trust com
pauy was paid up. to the effect that "a lot
OF real estate which was not worth the
membranes upon il went to make up
the association stock
When the failure occurred there was but
e22 in the bank to cover deposits of over
10000 Thi. was because Reid took all
the real estate securities out, and the title
was made i'm his name

The scene is laid In the vicinity OF The pie

orphan. and the estates beQueatbed to her by
her dying father are in the hands OF hts former

A report that the British ship Grand

There has been some talk about the pos

Jerome explains that the Collectors action
in detainfng the vessel for searching was
based upon. section 3C59 of the Revised
Statutes. For want of proper means,
however-that is. a: welI-armed revenue

successfully exercise their authority.
