A CASHIER TAKES FLIGHT.
The National Bank at Watkins Re-
lieVed Of $4,000.

The Cashier Supposed to Have Lost
the Money in Real Estate Specula-
ton at Muncie, Ind.-He lie aves a
Letter Saying He Was Insane and
Would Commit Suicide.
Watkins, N. Y, Feb. 9.-The greatest
sensation that has been in Watkins and
the surrounding country IN years was
caused to-day when the doors of the First
National Bank were closed and the fol-
lowing startling announcement posted on
thern: "Closed because the cashier has
run away"
The cashier is John w. Love, the presi-
dCnt of the village, and for several years
cne of the leading men of the town.
It has been learned that Love left
Watkins some time last night and
the amount that he took from the
hank is estimated at about $50, 900
For some time Love and others of this
place have been interested in city boom
at West Muncie, Ind, and it is generally
believed that he became involved through
speculation there. Love is 35 years Of age
and has a family. The bank has many
depositors in Watkins and vicinity, and
groups of men are to be seen
on every corner in the city discussing the
matter.
LOVE LEAVES LETTER.
Love left a letter for his
brother James, stating that he
was insane and would kill
blmself by shooting or jumping into the
lake, but this is thought to be a bluff on ac-
count of his taking the banks funds. 1t
is reported that there was $4,000 of state
money in the bank. The funds
of the town of Dix were also
there, and among the heavy depositors
were H. L. Lembeck g. Co., the Glen
Spring Sanitarium Company, Durland,
Smith & Co., George d. Morgan and
other leading business men. The excite
ment has been intensified by the finding
Of Loves coat and hat on the dock at
Magee's boat house. 1t is rumored that
a Watkins girl, to whom Love had been
attentive is also missing.

THE CLAIM WASN'T PAID.
Trouble Over a Small Death Policy in TIN
Metropolitan Insurance Co.

Trouble Over a Small Death Policy in the
Metropolitan Insurance Co.
Adolph Delkescamp, who lives at 43
West Porter street, came to the DEMOCRAT
office Saturday night and told the follow
ing story He said his wife was insured
in the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co for
$50 at weekly payment of fifteen cents.
She died in November, 1898. This would
leave due her beneficiary $40 so.
He was unable to obtain this
money because of something
in connection with the doctors certificate.
He showed journal of the company is
sued in 1898, where opposite the name
Anna Delkescamp, 9S6 South Main street,
was marked paid S4O.50. Charles Miller,
he said. one of the companys superin-
tendents, went to the house after the death
and took away with him all the papers in
connection with the insurance.
To-day a reporter interviewed Superin-
teDdent Hancock and Charles Miller, as
sistant superintendent. They told the
following story: Mrs Delkescamp was in
sured by an agent named Wygand. The
insurance was for a certain amount without
n doctors examination. To obtain such
policy you have to answer truthfully GER
tain questions. The name of the last ply
stefan who attended the applicant must be
given. Mrs Delkescamp said she had no
physician. A list of complaints
was then read and when she was asked if
she had any such complaint she said no.
When she died Charles Miller went to the
house to fill out the death claim. The
family told him the woman had been at
tep ded by DR. Axtelle and others. DIR
AxtelIe filled out the papers for the COM
pany and said he had attended Mrs Delkes-
camp for three years on and off and had
doctored her for rheumatism, the COM
plant that caused death. If the company
had known these facts the policy would
not have been issued. She misrepre-
scented the facts. However, the company
received the check in due time, but the
officials of the home Office thought there
might be some mistake. DR. Axtelle again
confirmed his first report. The check still
lies at the local Office and will be paid the
beneficiary, Adolph Delkescamp, if he
brings a certificate from DR. Axtelle that
the woman was not attended by him be-
fore the policy was issued.

A New Departure In Telephone Service

n NJ" DtPNItUTo III HoFeP 'I01r0 o0r ''0o
The Southern New England Telephone
company has adopted new rule in con-
nectlon with its toll service between points
in the state. Hereafter the party calling
for station out of town will be asked the
name of the person he wishes to talk with,
and if the party desired is not at the sta
ton called no charge will be made for the
connection. This new rule will be appre-
ciated by users of the toll service of the
telephone company, as it does not require
one to pay for calling station to talk with
some particular person who may not be in.
Users of the service should be careful to
ask for the party with whom they wish to
talk, otherwise the rule will not be opera
tive, as a charge will be made at the regu-
lar rates where any station alone is called
and no particular person stated

Chsan Ratss. Poor ssrrios.


The DEMocKAT has no circulation liar to
travel aud swear to a circulation three
times as big as the facts warrant. We be-
ieve it is a conservative estimate to say
that the paper. is read by from Il, 900 to
$4,000 daily.
1t does not take advertising at cheap
rates in order to get it. If a newspaper is
what its publishers say it is it can fix a
rate and maintain it.
If publishers claim big circulation and
take what they can get for advertising, IN
less there be a special reason for special
case, you may bet they have liberal views
regarding the truth.
Cheap advertising is poor investment,
as a rule.
