BEAN CREEK, No., Sept. 81
Mr.. ]. A. Hollopeter gave a con-
cert at the Bean Creek school
house, Monday, September %. 1t
consisted of vocal and instrumental
music and Rotations, interspersed
with magic lantern views. 1t was
an elaborate programme and was
well rendered. The recitation of
Miss Grace Ho.lopeter deserves
especial notice. She is indeed and
in truth an accomplished elocu-
zionist. The community hopes to
be favored by another concert at no
distant day.
Sowing wheat seems to be the
order of the day, but we have hardly
had sufficient rain as yet. Thanks to
the'Giver of Every Good andPerfect
Gift" for the showers He favored
us with, but we implore the public
spirited Christians of Bean Greek to
pray until they receive another
blessing.
The Bean Creek Debating So
ciety met last Friday evening with
a good attendance-quite an inn
provement over the other time.
The question was very holly dis
cussed on both sides, and finally
the judges decided for the affirma-
tive. The society then appointed
Miss Clyde Eubanks editress and
Mr.. Fred Gilmour assistant editor
of the Bean Greek Sitter. The
paper will be read Friday, October

To PROTECT BOTH SIDES.
Mr.. Bryan Explains the Advantages OF
His National Bank Tax Bill.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Repre-
sentative Bryan of Nebraska, in ex-
PLANTATION of his bill to tax bank de-
posts at the rate of 4 of 1 per cent
for the creation of a fund to pay de-
p~ositors in national banks, says:
"The bill has many advantages and
so far my attention has not been
called to any disadvantages. TWAS
a benefit to depositors in giving
them security for deposits, it will
bring to national banks an advan-
tage which will far more than bal
ance the small tax, because the
greater security will bring to the
banks greater deposits. Then the
tax is suspended when the special
fund reaches 10 million dollars and
afterwards the tax will be insignif-
cant. 1t benefits the community
because when depositors are secure,
money will not be boarded. Thus
banks will not be crippled and the
worst features of panics will be
avoided. 1t will compel states to
protect depositors in state banks in
the same way or state banks will
get no deposits. By paying depos-
itors at once, money is put in circu-
lation and embarrassment to the
business community prevented.
The issue of greenbacks equal to the
fund prevents contraction of cur

26.-The House Committee on Mill
tary Affairs to-day considered the
resolution Of Delegate Flynn, of
Oklahoma, calling upon the Secre-
tary of War for information re-
garding the action of troops in the

committee authorized a favorable re-
port on a substitute for the resolu-
ton requesting the Secretary of War
to inform the House what part the
United States Army had in the open
ing of the Cherokee Strip, under
what orders and whether the orders
were violated and outrages commit
ted on any citizen of the United
States.
Tue settlers on the Cherokee Strip
who entered from the side on which
the Indian reservations are located,
which was forbidden by Secretary
Hoke Smith, are attempting to SUBJ
stantiate their claims. In answer
to a communication from J. L. Bar
ton, of Kansas City, asking for def
mite information on the subject, the
dispatch was sent by Act
ing Land Commissioner Bowers:
The Secretary's order prohibits en-
try from reservations. Violations in

TRAIN ROBBERS BURIED.


sT. JOSEPH, No., Sept. 26.-The
funerals Of the dead train robbers,
Frederick Kohler and Hugo EngeI,
took place at so clock this morning;
the former from the home of bis
parents, at Chestnut and Eiwood
streets, in the far northwestern sub.
urbs Of the city, and the latter from
the home Of his stspfather, H. f.
Gleitze, at the Occidental Hotel.
The services were conducted by Rev.
Carl Nestel, pastor Of the German
Evangelical church. The burial
took place in Ashland Cemetery,
and the remains were followed to
the grave by only the immediate
family and relatives Of the dead
men.
In the back parlor in the rear of
the bar room in the Occidental Ho-
tel lay the body of Hugo Engel in a.
plain casket. A little table at the
head Of the coffin was covered with
wreaths Of white flowers and a
small pillow with the name ''Hugo"
on it resting in the center. In and
out passed white men and negroes
to take a look at the dead. The pale
features were composed and tranquil
and nothing but the highly discolor-
ed right eye gave evidence of the
ragged wounds in the back of the
head that caused death. When the
minister came the friends and fam.
lily entered the room where the cof-
fin lay and, the boys mother weep
ing Historically, was half carried in
and placed in a chair at the foot of
the coffin by a couple of lady
friends. Rev. Nestel read the short
burial service OF the Evangelical
Church and then spoke in German
of the necessity of training children
in the Christian faith. After the SER
vice the coffin was closed and the
minister drove out to Kohler's,
where a similar scene was enacted.
Fred Kohler's parents live in a
three story frame house, both exter-
ior and interior indicating ease and
domestic comfort. In the neatly
furnished front room the remains
lay in an uncovered casket. The
dead mans young wife and his
mother sat by the side of the coffin
and their agonizing cries could be
heard blocks away. After the burial
service they fell upon the corpse Of
Kohler and kissed and caressed it
repeatedly. Kohler was attiredin a
neat suit of black and his breast
was covered with small religious
pictures, crosses and a hymn in
German. In his right hand was
clasped a bouquet Of pink and white
flowers.
