A LIVE INSTITUTION.
the Commercial Bank Continues Active
In the Interests of Its Pstro,.

Inc commefcth BANK continues Active
In the Interests Of Its Patrons.
II might we'll be supposed that "On.
ward and Upward" Is the motto of that
sterling Institution, the Commercial
Bank, which has proved an important
factor in the upbuilding of Brookha-
ven, so steadily has it grown from its
inception and so alert are its offices to
embrace every new feature introduced
in the commercial world for the pro-
lection or convenience of the business
public. A fireproof vault and steel
safe which is in the highest type of
the safe makers art, affords ample
protection against the ordinary run of
burglars, but in these days of dynamite
as we read about every day, there is
no telling what may happen. To
guard against loss by any such means,
the Commercial Bank has just taken
out policy in the Fidelity and Cas-
ualty Insurance Company, of New
York, which insures against burglaries,
hold ups and all forms Of robberies,
and makes good all losses from such
causes. Such insurance is common
in the East but not much known in
the South. The Commercial Bank is
among the leaders in recognizing the
value of this insurance, as in all good
things. 1t has lately reduced the rate
of interest on loans to ten per cent, a
move which is appreciated these hard
times by borrowers when money is
hard to get hold of at any price.
Drafts are drawn direct on all parts of
Europe, fact which is priced by those
who have dealings with European
firms and a convenience afforded by
but few Mississippi banks. In fact,
the Commercial Bank is right up in
the front rank and means to stay
there. It is attention to such little
details which has won its popularity
little singly yet great combined. With
its facilities, its courteous and oblig-
ing officers, and its protection to pa
irons, it is no wonder that each sue
ceeding quarterly report shows an en-
largement of business and a prosper
ity which is gratifying to its stock
holders and friends. May its business
continue to expand.-Lincoln County
Times.
The LEADER takes pleasure in repro
ducing the above handsome notice by
our contemporary of one of the most
deserving and trustworthy business
institutions of our city and State.
Cashier Becker and it's other officials
have displayed business tact and en-
terprise of the highest order in the
conduct of it's affairs, and its last quar-
terly statement shows that it's re-
sources have increased since it's estab-
lishment from $4,000 to s146,332.

Pc CAN MAKE FRIENDS.
Something About the Youngest Member of
the Appellate Court.

Judge Cole of the eppelatc court has
already made hosts of friends in the
city. especially among the knights
Templar. of which he is a member. He
is a genial and companionable gentle
man and one capable of making friends
among any kind Of people. He comes
from judicial family, many of whom
have been and are now distinguished
in the law. He was for four years
county attorney Of Barton county and
made a very fine record as such. He
was one of the very ablest men in the
recent legislature and made some ex-
cellent speeches. In fact he was one
of the fine orators Of the house and as
a debater had very few equals. He has
convincing way about him in his
speeches that ii is hard to combat even
though his antagonist knows that he
is wrong. At the outset Of the session
he made his mark and was probably
the ablest tactician in opposition 10

neighbOring members We're on the 9th
er side. on that memorahle night
that the RurtoniteS wanted to force

who led the forces. He watched every
tactic of the opposition with the eye Of
an eagle and was ready TO combat il.

alton was tickliSh and had any other

bile 10 avoid a nomination. and nomi-

transactions, and when two honest men
trade together there is seldom any oc-
casion to appeal TO the law to settle
their differences.
One prominent attorney at the Wichi-
ia bar said yesterday that an attorney
did not dare to have a personal contro-
versy with a judge on the bench for
fear of injurying mis- practice. He said
he did not care cent whether the judge
on the bench was his personal friend or
not so far as gaining cases was con-
cerned If il were not for the fact that
the people had different idea.
He declared that the average citizen
believes that if an attorney is not on
friendly terms with the judge that his
cases will all go against him. There is
nothing whatever in this, but so long
as the people thing there is something
in it the attorney who would practice
must govern himself accordingly.
The farmers who come into town and
talk about the judgeship never ask any
other question than will this or that
man make good judge? The remark
is heard nearly every day that the judge
on the bench is looked TO by the great
mass of the people as being vastly su-
perior TO a congressman or even a SEN
ator.
LAWYERS as rule believe in long
terms for a Judge. and many of them
are every day heard TO remark that the
custom of appointing United States
judges for life is the proper way, but
at the same time these lawyers
will admit that the exalted idea Of
the jUdgeship entertained by the great
mass of the people always lnsures the
election Of good representative men as
judges. and when judge does go wrong
it is unusually because the people them
selves have first gone wrong.

ECKsrEIN ON GOvERNOR MORRILL,
lie is Not Wen. but the Householder 1nves-
tigation Needs Him.

From the Topeka Capital we clip the
following of personal local interest:
Hon. Otto Eckstein Of Wichita return
ed to the city yesterday, in company
with his wife. Although his health is
not greatly improved the strong urging
that he received from the other MEM
berS Of the Householder investigating
committee. of which he is a member,
induced him 10 return. Mr.. Eckstein
before leaving here took a course OF
baths at Pickett's for muscular rheu-
matiSm and says that they accom-
plished more good results in his case
than anything else he had ever tried.
At Wichita there was nothing of the
kind but he substituted absolute rest for
the other treatment securing this by re-
firing to the farm of his father-in-law
some miles from Wichita.
Mr.. Eckstein says that in Sedgwick
county Governor Morrill, is gaining in
strength every day and is generally in
dOrsed in the course tina he has hitherto
pursued With regard To the severe
criticism received by the executive in
some parts of the state. Mr.. Eckstein
said: 1t is the experience of every
new official Of high rank. If Abraham
Lincoln had had to stand a new election
three months after the first he would
have been Overwhelmingly defeated, so
great was the feeling against him.

HE CARRIES 4 GUN.
Seat Of War is Tranfered From China and
Japan to Goddard.

There is threatened war in Goddard
and considerable activity is manifest
ed about the gun shops and other places
where fire arms are stored or kept for
sale.
Deputy Charles Burrows came in
from Goddard yesterday and reports
that a battle may be fought now at any
time. The beligerant parties are the
leading druggist and most prominent
read estate owner in the the town.
Like most wars this one seems TO
have had domestic origin and origin
ated in the kitchen of the beligerant
parties. II is reported that the drug
gist and his better half threaten a
divorce suit while the owner of numer-
Gus town lots vows his determination
to protect the sancity of his home with
a shot gun.

mayor to fbe permitted TO cary fire arms.

crawling over into the hollow, closely
hugging his Winchester
Gradually closing in around the hill
the officers discovered a dead man
lying half upon his side, the right leg
slightly drawn up and his arms crossed
tightly over his Winchester. Upon the
body was two So calibre revOlverS with
two belts of cartridges, one of 1890
Winchester balls. The other man had
escaped by way of the arroja, which
was deep enough to conceal a horse
and rider.
The dead man was Tulsa Jack. identi-
fled by farmer for whom he formerly
worked, near Sterling, Kan, as William
Blake, and who. if the identification is
correct, was also at one time a school
teacher in Rice and Stafford counties.
Tulsa is described as a young man
about feet 10 inches in height, blue
eyes. fair skin. very soft hands neatly
gloved and hair and mustache dyed
black His horse was shot just above
the pastern joint, and is now at FL
Reno where he is about recovered.
Jacks pistols and rifle were also taken
to FL Reno.
In the death of Tulsa Jack, and after
wards Slaughter Kid and Dynamite
Dick, three of the western bad men
have gone over the divide" and their
deeds will doubtless live only in the 10
cent theaters of the effete east. The
really bad man is about as scarce as
troubadours and buffaloes.
The old time bad man, that is the
KILLER, or the reputation, was not a bad
man after all, and the writer reals
many pleasant acquaintance with such.
If in the early days man was so unfor
tunate as to be compelled by force of
circumstances to take human life he
soon obtained the reputation of being

donning somhrero and high heeled
boots became dime novel heros, and in
buckskin and with belted six shooter

swell with emotions prompting him to
so and do likewise.
The man with whom Il was really
dangerous 10 trife never advertised his
deeds or posed as killer. and one OF
the most quiet and unassuming men of
the writer's acquaintance today is one
who at one time had a single handed
fight with a troop Of cowboys and at
whom almost the whole population of
western town has taken pop shots.

HOW 1T WAS DONE
DEPUTY MARSHALL MOORE TELLS
HOW TULSA JACK DIED.
After Long Ride Two Desperadoes Were
mounted and Then the Firing Began
Step by Step the Narshals Closed i'm on
the Outlaws and After Two Hundred
shots Were Exchanged Tulsa Jack
Jumped in the Air and Fell Dead--His
Partner Was Wounded.

An Eagle reporter had an interview
last night with Deputy Marshal Moore,
who was in the party that was the
immediate cause of the demise of Tul-
sa Jack, and from the story Of the
marshal the following facts relative TO
the occurrence are CLEANED.
Upon the report of the train robbery
at Dover reaching the United States
marshaFs office a party Of deputies
wer armed and with thier horses placed
upon a train and conveyed with all dis
patch to the scene of the robbery. The
trail was easily found and as easily fol-
lowed The party started from Dover
at about daylight on the morning OF
April 4, and after rapid ride across
the prairies, over the sand hills and
through the black jack timber of the
Oklahoma country, party or SIX or
the officers who had become separated
from their companions, at about o'cloc
in the afternoon sighted some distance
ahead of them two men seated near the
foot of a sand hill covered with scrub
by timber. One of the men were seated
upon the ground, cross legged, at the
foot of tree with a Winchester rifle
across his lap. The other STOPPING i'm
mediately at his right.
Upon sighting the men the marshals
cismounted that they might get more
steady aim. They had no more than
done so when the men, sighting them,
Jumped into the dense brush and COM
menced firing.
The firing was briskly returned, and
the crack of Winchesters and six shoot
ers was kept up as regularly as that of
a skirmish line leading up TO battle
with the odds about even between the
parties. rs each was directed by the
smoke arising from the guns of those
opposite
At the end of the fusilade Of nearly 200
shots one of the men was seen TO leap
into the air and disappear over the top
of the hill. or rather over into hollow.
The other man was discovered slowly

Last night word came to the Santa

depot of the Santa Fe road at Well
