TIE NEWS IN BRIEF
Another bank Defalcation.

Cashier Abbott Of the Dover, ". H., Ma
ton"l Bank shot himself After lie
Was Found to be n Defaulter to the
Amount OF $4,000.
The bank defalcation epidemic struck the
city of Dover, N. H., Monday. During the
morning it was announced that Isaac f.
Abbott, cashier of the Dover national bank,
was a defaulter i'm the sum of $4,000.
At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and
before the people had recovered from the
establishment, came the announcement
that the cashier had taken his life in his
beautiful home on Arch street, by shoot
ing himself through the hea with his
revolver.
The discovery of the defalcation was
made by Bank Examiner DOrr, who began
an examination of the bank Friday. He
asked Mr.. Abbott certain questions which
the cashier said he would explain the next
morning, When the examiner came again
Saturday morning it was found that the
safe could not be opened, and Mr.. Abbott
failed to appear. He was at home, and
stated that he would explain all on Mon
day. The refusal of the cashier to say
anything was brought to the attention of
the bank officials, and Examiner Dorr at
once declared Abbott defaulter. District
Attorney A. A. Branch of Manchester
and United States Marshal Campbell were
at once telegraphed for to place Abbott UNI
der arrest, but they did not arrive until
after the cashiers death. 1t is limited that
Abbott made his first inroad on the bank S
money to help out friend.
The first suspicion that Mr.. Dorr had of
the defalcation was the discovery Of a note
for $4,000 among the banks resources,
signed an. Nelson" The name of Mr..
Abbott's young housekeeper is Miss Mer-
tie Nelson, and it was her signature, it is
alleged, that appeared on the note. Mr..
Abbott was also cashier of the Five-cents
savings bank of Dover, and was city treas
urer. The depostors will lose nothing,
but their money is tied up. State Bank
Commissioners Lyford and Hatch have
taken charge of the savings bank.
Mr.. Abbott's two sons and his daughter
were at home when the fatal shot rang
out. Mr.. Abbott had been cashier of the
bank 20 years, and before that was con-
nected with it in a minor capacity. He
lived in house that cost $50, 900, but il
was built with his wife's money. He was
a member of the Baptist church and was
never known to gamble.
Later---The Savings Bank Involved.
The Five Cents savings bank of Dover is
also involved in Cashier Abbott's criminal
ity, and it is thought that the depositors
will lose 80 per cent of their money. j. E.
Hall has been appointed receiver of the
bank. 1t is supposed that Abbott at first
robbed the savings bank and that the EN-.
bezzlement from the national bank was
made to cover up the deficit The depos-
itors in the savings bank are people EN-
ployed in mills and they will feel their loss
keenly. 1t is difficult for the bank exam
liner to find out the exact condition of the
two banks, as Abbott destroyed the book
containing evidence of his guilt.

Emerson says:
III eyes were made for seeing,
Then beauty is its own eXcus for b ing"
Beauty of feature and elegance of form
have ever been the desire of the feminine
mind And it is perfectly laudable and
and natural ambition Women are born
to sway the hearts and minds of men as
much by their beauty and attractiveness
as by the subtler charms of goodness and
purity.
And yet, how few women attain the
beauty which should be theirs, and in
those few who are are beautiful how
quickly their beauty fades. This is wrong
Women are naturally beautiful--at least
of pleasing and attractive appearance
and in nearly all the cases where women
lack these physical charms, the fault is
their own.
Good looks and beautiful forms are en-
tirely dependent upon good health. One
must have strong nerves and pure blood to
be beautiful. Failing to have these is to
fail of good looks and fine figure, and the
woman who becomes broken in health

The estimates of the area product, and

The corn crop of 1894, in rate of yield is
one of the lowest on record. In the past
Is years the yield per acre of but one year,
namely 1881, was lower, the yield for that
year having been1S.6 against 1914 for the

40, 900 bushels, having an estimated farm
value of Sod, 900.
The wheat crop is above an average one
in yield per acre. The entire product OF
the country is AGO, 267, 4l6 bushels, which
is below the average for the five years 1896
to 1894 inclusive. The farm value o. the

South DakOta's Treasurer.
Took S3sO,OOO---the Commissioner of
Public Lands Implicated.


The suspicion that there was conspir-
acy to defraud the state of South Dakota,
resulting in Treasurer Taylor's defalcation
and flight, was proved Saturday by the
discovery that the commissioner of public
lands had also been abusing his opportu-
mites. The legislature has ordered an in
vestigation, and it will lay bare consider
able rascality in the land office.
Thomas II. Ruth, banker at Desmet,
is the commissioner During the summer
of 1913, Ruth refused to send to the various
counties the school money, which at that
time amounted to 100000, although the
statute is mandatory that it be sent by
June 10. 1t is believed by officials that
Ruth was privy to Taylor's crime and held
up the money to give Taylor a chance to
get state money and escape. 1t is now
tolerably certain Taylor's actual shortage
was about $4,000 in addition to the
S2OO,0O0
New England Cotton Mills to Move
South.
Four Lowell mills intend, if charters
can be secured, to establish mills in the
South. They are the Merrimac, the Mass
achusetts, the Booth and the Whittier.
The southern movement of cotton indus
tries is felt in New Hampshire, and the
jackson and Nashua manufacturing COM
panies of Nashua will ask the right to
build mills in any state in the United
States. The Dwight company of Chico
pee will establish a southern factory.
Cheap help, cheap coal and small charges
for transporting cotton are some of the adj
vantages claimed for the South. The finer
grades of cotton goods, however, can still
be manufactured to advantage in the North.
