The late failure Of tie Bank Of
Beresiord emphasizes the fact that
the legislature should pass some law
for the protection OF courty treasur-
ers. Few counties are provided
will, burglar proof safes, and the
~treasurers are forced 10 deposit their
funds in banks aud take all chances
0f the banks failing. Some law
should he enacted making it obi
gatory on the pnrt Of the county
commissioners to either furnish
burglar proof safes or name the
banks where the funds are to be de-
posted and thus let the public take
the chances rather than the individ.
ual treasurers. The commissioners
could require bonds Of the banks,
and thus protect the counties. AS
the law now Is the treasurers take
MI the chances. They give bonds
for honesty in Office, but should not
be held for the dishonesty or acct
dents Of bankers where they are
iorcod to place their savings for safe
keeping.

This cornmnnity was shocked
Srndny morning 81 tie runlor that
United Staies Marshal Cyrus J. Fry
of VeFn,illion was dead. The report
~ first said that he Ind been killed
while trying to make an arrest. But
this proved TO be incorrect. The nc
tuAI cause III his death Gems to be
IN overdose Of anti-pyrine. United
States Attorney Miller Of this city
who was with him at Deadwood
Gays Mr.. Fry complained Of head
ache aud sleepiessness and was TAX
ing this drug to remedy it. The
facts No gathered from various re-
ports are that on Friday last he pnr-
chased three ten grain powders OF
anti pyrine md took two OF them
that afternoon and evening. He
was found in his room Saturday
morning early, and doctors were
called. They pronounced it NOR
pl,ine poisoning, but Mr.. Fry, who
was then concious, said lie had only
taken anti-pyrine. He continued
to sink away and at 8 o'clock in the
evening died. The deceased was
we'll known in Elk Point, and a I'M
iversal hyorite among all who knew
him.
Cyrus J.. Fry was one Of the best
known and most popular public
men in tile state. lie came to Yer.
million seventeen years ago from
Barton county Kansas. He was foi
four years treasurer Of Clay county
and in November, 1889, he was up.

BANK OF BERESrORD FAILS.
The Institution Goes Under Last Saturday
and Catches q Large List Of Derositors.

and CatcheS q Large List o. Uer0S1t0re.
The failure Of the Bank Of Beres-
ford, which occurred last Saturday
after a run on it OF n few hours had
been made. is quite a shock to the
business interests of the county at
large, aud Beresford in particular.
The bank IVES owned by Ames Bros.
and was generally considered a
strong institution. Beresford as
well MS Union county is particularly
prosperous, aud it is hard TO see how
a bank doing a legitimate business
should be forced to assign. OF
course there are various rumOrs
given as the direct cs.use OF the fail
ure Of the Bank Of Reresford, the
most plausible Of which is that OF
wild speculation and fast living Of
the p%roprietors.
One Of the heaviest losers by the
crash is county treasurer Compton,
who had 1901 ,05 in the bank at.thc
time it closed it's doors. This was
money belonging to the county
which had been collected by the
bank and left there by the treasurer
OH deposit, as has been the custom
OF oil t~reasurers OF tie county. No
| blame can attach to treasurer Comp
ton, nor will the tax payers lose a
cent by it. The loss falls heavily
on Mr.. Compton, who is compare.
lively a poor man. Nothing can be
learned Of the actual condition oil
the assests and liabilities Of the con-
Germ. In their papers fled on which
they ask for a receiver they stated
their liabilities to be $4,000 and
assests $4,000, but people have
learned to look with suspicion on
the assests claimed by those who
fail, and it is highly probable that
every depositor will sustain quite a
loss.
II is rumored that several school
districts in this and Lincoln c0un.
ties have their money tied up in
tue failure, but the amount cannot
be learned. Ames Bros. have made
application 10 nave III. X. Webster,
their cashier, appointed receiver
He has no qualified yet or furnish.
ed the $4,000 bonds required by
the court.
The Bank Of Beresford owned The
Commercial Bank at Wakonda, oi
which r. z. Bennett was cashier
Last month the Clay County Bank
OF Vermillion bought it, but vas no,
10 take possession until July 7th
last Saturday, Bennett, to protect
his own interests and TO keep the
bank from falling into the hands o
4 receiver, turned it over to the Yer
million bank, and as a result thu
Wakonda institution will not ap
pear among the assets Of the de
funct Beresford bank.
Anes Bros. claim they have pa.
per and real estate enougl, TO pay
every cent Of their liabilities il til,
matter is carefully handled II j,
TO be hoped this 10 true, rs the out
look nowis anything but encouraging

THE JUDICIAL CONVENTION.

For three days there has been a
genuine dead lock in the Judicial
Convention and at this writing (Fri.
day morning) il looks as if the dead
lock would continue indefinitely. es-
pecially If to break it depends on the
nnfaithfuIness Of Worcester to Wi
comico or rice rer.e. Over 1000
ballots have been taken and every
ballot has been the same Dorchester
and Somerset casting eight vstes FOR
Page for Chief Judge and the same
hcmber for Lloyd for Associate.
Worcester and Wicomico are voting
just as steadily for Holland and Pur-
hell and are prepared to spend the
remainder Of the days of this month
and more at the city by the sea,
where Governor jackson says his
physician has recommended him to
soiourn. 1t is hard to tell just now
what will be the outcome If the con-
vention, but it is safe to say that
Worcester prospects for having a
resident Judge are very bright. The
convention was organized with ex-
Governor Jackson as Chairman and
Thomas II. Spence of Worcester and
w. 8. McMaster of Somerset as Sec
fetaries.
On the roll call for nomination Col.
4. g. Polk. Of Somerset, was first TO
rise. He placed in nomination Judge
Henry Page. BY prearranged pro.
gramme Mr.. Oscar Purnell. of Wor.
cester. nominated Judge Charles F.
Holland. of Wieomico county, as CHIEF
judge. 1t became the duty Of Wicom.
leo 10 accept the honor prohered by
Worcester, and Senator +. Stanley
Toadvin made the speech. This was
the first move ON the floor of the con.
vention to indicate the understanding
between Wicomico and Worcester
counties. a
Mr.. W. Laird Henry. Of Dorches.
ter, nominated Judge Lloyd. Mr.. VIM.
Travers. Of Dorchester, seconded the
nomination of Judge Page.
Col. John Walter Smith placed in
nomination Mr.. Clayton j. Purnell,
of Worcester, for associate Judge. a
nomination which was seconded by
Senator +. Stanley Toadvin, of Wicom-
leo. Henry Page. Jr.. seconded the
nomination Of Judge Lloyd.
The importrnt speech was that ot
Senator John Walter Smith. Of Wor-
cesier, who was very direct in present.
ing the claims of his county and those
of Wicomico for recognition. He poin.
ted out that these two counties furnish
ed over 800 Democratic majority in
the circuit below the Choptank and
he doubted the wisdom Of continuing
in Office men who had been appointed
by the Governor simply because they
had been so appointed. lie claimed
that the elective privilege rested with
the people only. Colonel Smith was
frequently and loudly appIauded while
delivering his speech.
