THE TELLER is MISSING.
And so is $4,000 Belonging to the
Bank he Worked For.

CHICAGO, H., Sept. 19.-Ross @. Van
B0kklen, receiving teller Of the Mer-
chants Loan and Trust o., is missing.
So is $33, 600 of the money belonging to
the institution, which is the second large
banking concern in the west. Ii is
thought that Won Bokklen has gone to
Mexico.
The discovery of the shortage came
about when a representative of the Nc
COrmick Harvester company called at the
bank in regard to a deposit of $33 600
made last Friday. An examination of
the books showed that it had not been
entered, and further that Van Bokklen
had suddenly left on Saturday on his
vacation. The bank officials becoming
suspicious, made hasty examination of
the missing teller's books and it showed
that in the last year and a half the
amount appropriated was almost $50, 600.
Another Teller Gone Wrong.
CHICAGO, Sept 19-Joseph H. viii
son, receiving teller ofthe National Bank
Of Illinois, has confessed to taking 81
900 of the banks money. Benjamin B.
Jones, paying teller of the same iustitu-
ton, Is charged with stealing $l2, 500.
Their plan Of working the thing was
simple. Money passed from one to the
other and their accounts always were
to balance. Whenever one was
short, the other simply made a"dummy"
entry, and the thing was fixed, Both
men are in the city and are under sur
veillance. No arrests have been made
yet.

THOSE who clamor 50 loudly for
Government ownership and opera
ton of railroads should first look
into Government service as it is TO
those now in it. Employment of
the same grade is better paid in
private than in public service, and
the employe is less at the mercy
of his superiors. A black-l sted la
borer set adrift by a railway or
manufacturing corporation may
claim redress through labor or
ganization, or the courts, or find
work despite the black lister. In
the Government service combina-
tions against the employer mean
the axe in the neck, and it is well
known that dismissal from this
service is, in ninety-nine cases in
n hundred, final. Only gigantic
pull can overcome this black list.
As to remuneration, a railway mail
clerk does work for S75 to SS3 a
month that is twice az laborious
and for which he is held far more
strictly accountable than that Of

The President has been having
great time shooting ducks among
the islands along the coast of South
Carolina. He had no congress to
contend with down there, and was
free to turn himself loose, SO he
pulled the trigger with a vicious
ness that sent the shot several
yards further. 1t Is interesting to
note that most of the ducks he
bagged were "English."

The best way to promote the pros

played with a better purpose would

RELIGION and morals are quite
distinct things. A person may
possess a large store of either with
little of the other, and this is often
seen in the experiences of practical
life. A man of much religious
zeal often goes wrong, and people
wonder at it, when the lapse was
simply the result Of lop-sided de-
velopment of the religious nature.
Correct moral training will oftener
keep a man in the narrow path
than subscription to all the relig-
ious creeds extant.

insane asylum at Mendoza, where she died
some time ago. Mr.. Horton, who was
called home by telegraph when his wife
was taken i'll, was found dead in bed a
short time after Mrs. Horton had bcen re-
moved to the asylum
Eliza Cutler, the old servant, was hand
somely provided for in tho will of Mr..
Horton, and il was this that induced her
TO keep peace for so long. Portions of tho
story were disclosed by Mrs. Horton In her
rawlings, and although many people have
heard OF the secret OF the old house, no ex-
animation of the place was ever made, as
il was considered foolish to pay any atten-

After the death OF Mr.. Horton the resi-
dence was taken possession of by the ad-
ministrator, who disposed of all the furni-
ture, plate and books for the heirs, who
are now scattered and gone. For the last
three years the house has been unoccupied,
and has gone rapidly TO decay. The
grounds around it have been neglected,

desoation and ruin seldom seen in real
lifo The contractor who purchased the
place, and who is now erecting row OF
flats on the site, has caused tho bones
found by the workmen to be decently

official investigation no one will ever know
where rests all that is mortal of Mrs.
