THE MODEL MACHINE OF THE DAY-SEND
 FOR DESCRIPTIVE CIRCULARS.
 MOBILE, Ala, Oct. F, 1894. Mcssrs. Louis V. Clark & Co.,, State Agents fThe New Yost,' Etc.
 GENTLEMEN: Having constantly used the New Yost machine since it's purchase from you on the 9th January last, I desire to express my complete satisfaction with the advantages claimed for it over other machines I have tried. It combines strength and simplicity beyond any have used, and is more easily cleaned--the types in great measure cleaning themselves by the pad.
 The pad replacing the ribbon gives the triple advantage of clearer print, greater power in manifolding without woolly edges Of letter, and far greater cheapness. have used this machine nine months for corre- spondence, newspaper and literary manu- scripts, table work, etc., and can discover no failing or change in impression from first day.
 But the greatest advantages l find in the Yost are its absolute accuracy of align ment, the convenience of the pointer and the adjustable line-lock.
 In my opinion the lost is the best ma chine, by all odds, that have tried. Very truly yours, T. c. DELEoN. 12-13- tn us-suns

THE KANSAS CITY SUNDAY SUN WILL BE
 SOLD IN BIRMINGHAM NO MORE.
 There is wailing and lots of talk in the city among those who derived benefit from the sale of the Kansas City Sunday Sun, due to the sudden stop that Chief McDon- aid put to the sale of it last evening.
 For some time this move has been con- templated, but no section of the code could be found to cover it, until after much dis cussion section 56l of the city code was found to cover all the points, and imme- diately Chief Mcdonald gave all the news dealers notice to stop the sale of the paper, which went into force last night.

THE banking bill framed by Secretary Carlisle and introduced. in the House by Mir.

A DEFAULTER
Cashier Frank A. McKean Departed
Suddenly for Parts Unknown.

NASHUA, ". H., Dec. 13.-The rumored
detalcation Of Frank A. Mexican, cas- hier
Of the Indian Head National Bank here,
was confirmed this morning by the
bank officials. The amount of the
shortage cannot be ascertained as Nc
kean had so many and varied interests,
until the books are thoroughly examined.
The directors and Bank Examiner Dore
OF Somerworth, are now working on the
accounts. IL is thought that the amount
will exceed $4,000.
The defalcations became suspected last
Friday, when Bank Examiner Dorc made
his official visit, and in going through
the note and security department sever
and McKean's attention called to the
matter. He stated that the thing could be
Strengthened out and made to give proper
showing. Last Monday the president
OF the bank, David A. Gray, received
q note from the cashier stating that h ,
crit tIcisms OF the bank examiner seemed
just, and that he had gone TO Boston to
consult his bondsmen. Since that time
no trace of the man has been sscdr-
ed. His family, which consists OF his
wife and son, Alfred j. Mexican, are Of
the opinion that he has committed sui
eide. Yesterday the son endeavorcd 20
borrow from the president OF the bank
sum sufficient to cover the shortage IN his
fathers accounts, but his request was re-
fused. The son then went 10 Boston for
the purpose OF raising the money.
Mexican was elected twice Mayor OF tho
city and was the Democratic candidate
for Governor in 1873, and was city
treasurer for many years. He succeeded
his father rs cashier in the Indian Head
Bank.
