A SOUND BANK.

The official report of the condition of the Valley Bank of Phoenix made by the bank controller of the territory, ap. pears in our local columns this morn- ing.
 The report is one fattering alike to the bank and to the valley. It shows that the people are prosperous and that the bank is doing 8 profitable but safe business.
 The Valley Bank is one of the oldest and the soundest in the Southwest. Its stockholders and of ficers are men of ample means fully identified with the territory and con- versant with the requirements of the banking public. The bank has been identified with the growth and develop ment of the valley and city from the start, and many of the largest enter prises have been made successful by the aid of the Valley Bank.
 There is scarcely rancher and hardly a merchant who has not been aided at some time by this bank and been enabled to pull through crisis. In the panic two years ago the Valley Bank stood by it's customers like stone wall and they all weathered the storm.
 The banking policy of Col. Wm. Christy, formerly cashier and now president of this bank, has always been to build up and never to pull down. h this policy he is ably seconded by Nj W. Messinger, the present cashier This method Of doing business has made the Valley Bank an exceedingly popular institution and tower ot strength. By it's age, many ramlfca tions and intimate business connections with all parts of the valley, the Valley Bank has really become part of tht whole people.
 The report of it's excellent condition made by the bank examiner is, there fore, of more than passing interest, anc THE REPUBLICAN congratulates botf
 
 the bank and the people upon it's pros porous and sound condition.

4 CHICAGO COUNCILMAN has introduced a measure providing for the ownership and operation of one of the street-car lines by the city. It will be interesting to see Chicago make the experiment of municipal ownership of transportation facilities. She can afford it and if it prove a success other cities can follow.

was out in the garden, and he ate the
breakfast that she had made ready, and
hurried away through the usual exit Of
the kitchen door without suspicion. He
was one OF the first to file into Star

man at the desk looked at him and thon
retired for consultation with the other
young man.

any longer, said the other young man.
Mr.. Crest, we haven't got $500 in the

That was the reason why Startling g
bank closed its doors some hours earlier
than the fugitive had anticipated.
Joshua did not speak word. He
nodded to some men that he knew and
went out, not quite steadily, to his
wagon. Myron and his own wife were
standing by it.
Joshua did not seem surprised.

tone, @I've lost all that money -

was Myron, who remained bewildered,
having considerably put Judith to bed
at the hotel without agitating her by
question.
But, mother, you hadn't got no
check; how could you get the money!"
said Joshua.
Judith was sobbing. "oh, guess you
won't be able to forgive me. I didn't
have no check; made him give me the
money"
She had been taking the notes out Of
her bag. Myron put in his fingers and
drew out the pistol.
"Ah-h!" he exclaimed; Il perceive.
Why, Aunt Judith, you dear little high
wayman!" ''
No one else knows OF 1t, no one else
would believe If he did know; Mrs.
Crest is such harmless, timid woman:
but Myron Dwight, now prospering and
helping Joshua to prosper, keeps the
pistol in his drawer as memento. No
one else but he knows another interest

tho great seal of the United States.
Beneath this is the seal of Ohio,
pierced by the stats thut support the
Stars and Stripes, which fall in grace
full folds on either side; and beneath
this is the seal of the city of Cincin-
natl. Medallions of the deceased
donor and family complete the design.
On the ecclesiastical half, under the
surmounting tiara, is medallion of
Pope Leo Kill, with his seal beneath
it. Just below is the medallion of the
Right Rev. William Henry Elder,
Archbishop of Cincinnati, through
which are crossed the stats of the
Pspal banners. Right and left of this
medallion are two others-of Arch
bishop Purcell and Bishop Fenwick,
the first Bishop of Cincinnati. Be-
meath the central medallion is one of
Vicar-General Albrink.
Around the crown, in Gothic relief,
are two verses of mediaeval Latin
hexameters relating to the bells, which
read as follows:
Laudo Deum verum, ple5um voco congreSo
clerum;
Funera prango, fulgura frango. sabbata
panSo.
This may be approximately, though
not completely, rendered by the quaint
old English lines:
To Gale ye !olde atte meeting tyne,
= We chyme;
When ioye and nyrth are on ye wynge
We rynge;
When we lamente a passyng souIe,
We tole.
It will be noticed that great SYM
aaetry has been attained by this ar
rangement. The eagle is opposite
The tiara, and the American flag to the
Pspal ensign; the seal OF the United
States corresponds to that Of Rome,
and the same artistic balance ID main

This ornamentation of bells is pc.
culiar and difficult task. The decora-
tions must be in relief to avoid inter
f.rins with the tone. The medallions,

the artist, and passing through whole
series of transformations, must at last

Masks for Soldiers in Warfare.

Masks for soldiers engaged in war
fare in the colonies, not as defense
against the sword or the bullet Of the;
enemy, but as protection from the
no less dangerous cohorts OF fevers--
such as the original proposition which
has just been submitted to the French
Academy of Medicine. 1t emsnates
from DR.. Heurot, professor at the
Rheims School of Medicine, who ar
CUES that the use Of this mask would
prevent the germs from penetrating
to the lungs Of the soldier engaged in
colonial warfare, who, as he is not
acclimated, and is overworked. is

copper and tin in the ratio of 78 to
%. No other metals or proportions
give so satisfactory a result. The
idea that an admixture of silver will
sweeten the tone is a popular de-
lusion.
From the foundry the bell will be
taken to vacant space adjoining
Fedora! square, there to be exhibited
for a month. Finally, before being
placed in position, the great bell will
be consecrated according to the Roman
Catholic custom. The bell will then
be raised to the belfry, where it is to
be mounted in connection with a
chime of twenty.six smaller bells, yet
to be cast.
A novel feature in the proposed
peal of bells will be its connection,
by an ingenious device, with the
organ, so that it will be under the
control of the organist, and may be
used to reinforce the rendering Of the
solemn anthems. Frank Wilson, the
organ1st, is looking forward to the
time when he will be enabled to
achieve something unique in the his
tory of music.

nor in the hearts of the peo-
pie. In those respects it
will ever stand unrivalled. But, in
size, at least, rival IS now being
made ready for massive belfry in the
suburbs of Cincinnati, where it is
soon to ring ont the loudest peal that
has ever vibrated upon the free air of
America. The new bell is to weigh
nearly fifteen tons, and the great bell
in the cathedral at Montreal, hitherto
the largest on the American continent,
weighs less than thirteen tons. The
largest in England, the Westminster
bell. weighs about the same, while one
in Vienna, the largest in actual use in
Europe, weighs about twenty tons.
The monster of Moscow, which lies
broken and prostrate, weighed more
than 200 tons, but it was simply
q huge mistake, which having failed
as bell is now used as chapel. 1t
is stated, too, that there is " mon
stronsity somewhere in China that
weighs about sixty tons.
The great Chinese cat call is said to
be about fourteen feet in height and
shaped like a barrel. The Cincinnati
bell, which is modelled after bell in
Erfurt, Prussia, is accounted the
sweetest in the world, is seven feet
in height and nine in diameter at the
base. The clapper will weigh $40
poudds. It is stipulated that the bell
shall he so poised that one man can
ring it.

began to talk in rambling way about
