The Association was formed about
seven years ago and has been one OF
the leading concerns of the kind in
the State. Last December it had a

The Withdrawals had been very
heavy for seven months, and were on
the increases. The association also

Many Hopkinsville capitalists have

always the safest plan to send youl
capital away from home for invest

vile that her electric light plant, her
waterworks and other enterprises have
been set on foot by outside capital and
street railways, turnpikes, and mills
of various kinds are waiting to be
built while our monied men are vast
ing their money by investing in wild
cat schemes in other towns. Suppose
we all try the plan this year of keep,
ing our money at home and investing
in enterprises that will benefit the town
and at tue same time prove safer than
the sink-holes some of our wisest aud
most prudent iinanciers have been
of late.

GEORGE CROCK Err COMING
The Colonel at Uplands Holding
His Own in Spite Of
Odds.
Little Change Reported in the Con-
ditions Accompanying the
Paralysis.

SAN MATEO, CAL, July A-Late this
evening DR.. Chismore, acting as spokes-
man for The four physicians who had just
held their regular evening consultation at
Uplands over the condition of Colonel
Charles T. Crocker, made the folio wins
statement:
''Mr. Crocker to-day passed q more
favorable day, and tonight he is doing as
well as could be expected. Each day that
he passes without any marked setback
renders his recovery more probable"
Early this morning Drs. Gardner, CHS
more, Whitwell and Mac MonagIe held their
usual consultation. Early in the after
noon Dr. Gardner stated that so far as the
paralysis was concerned the colonel had
slightly improved, but that the other con-
ditions RENAME as before.
DR.. Whitwell, when seen just as he was
leaving Upands after the evening consul
tation, said that very little change had
taken place in the conditions accompany
ing the paralysis. In regard to the pa
TENTS mental condition he stated that
when The physicians and attendants
aroused him and asked him what he
wanted or how he felt he readily told
them.
About all that can be said," he con-
cluded, 'is tina. no change has taken
place one way or the other and that the
colonel is holding his own"
William III. Crocker called again this
evening and went into the sick cham ber
Tor few minutes.
my brother was awake at the time" he
said, "and | think ne recognized me. He
looked a me, but l quickly left the room,
as did not want 10 disturb him."
George Crocker, the colonePs brother,
who was informed by telegraph Of his
brothers illness shortly after the attack
last Friday, is on his way across the con-
tinent from New York. He is expected to
arrive at Uplands next Saturday.
Manager J. A. Film ore ami General
Passenger Agent Goodman, of the South
ern Pacific, and Russell J. Wilson went
down to see Colonel Crccker yesterday at
Uplands. Manager Fillmore said in re-
gard to Colonel Crockers conition:
1T had improved little, and there was
more hope of his recovery. There is now
no fear of the paralysis. That the doctors
think they have under control. 1t is the
other thing thet is the trouble-not any
blood cot on the brain, but the difficulty
growing out of the kidney ailment.
Colonel Crocker is resting pretty well.
He takes nourishment, too, right along.
Tne nourishment consists OF milk. DR..
Gardner is with him all the time. Dr.

ocean and drowned forever her hopes and
her sorrows.
Three hours later, when the sea was
glad with the dawn, a man who passed
that way read upon the san is this message,
written in bold letters with the point of a
stick:
Violet loves kindness, and
she does not always get it in
this country.
The words were written in a slanting
line, thirty feet long, and when they were
read by eyes other than her own they
were as legible and as clear cut as when
written by the woman as her last will apd
testament to the world which she had al
lowed to make her miserable.
She did not get kindness in this coun-
try, and she sought it in the unknown
land beyond the gates of life.
The man who read the strange message
cast his eyes oceanward and saw bundle
of white clothes tossing about in the surf
near the pier of the Olympic Cluo. He
drew near and distinguished the body of
a young woman attlred in her under
clothing.
The Iife-saving crew took the body
and the other outer garments had been
made into a sack and filled with sand.
Then the young woman had jumped in o
the water, and the sack of sand had an
chored her where she was drowned.
The suicide had been deliberately
planned. Miss Cloves boarded an Ellis
street car late last Tuesday night and rode
TO its terminus at Golden Gate Park.
Then she got on the last car OF the Park
and Ocean Railroad on it's last trip for the
ocean. 1t being unusual for lone woman
to go out to the beach so late al night, the
She looked sick and respondent, and the
dyed hair of an auburn hue, so much af
fected by women of romantic or reckless
disposition, made her all the more con-
spicuous. She handed him a note and re-
quested him 10 mail 1t for her.
On arriving at the ocean terminus the
conductor notified the men at the life saw
ing station that the woman intended to
commit suicide. Then with stupidity
almost unparalleled a man was detailed to
watch her, when the woman should have
been arrested on suspicion of insanity.
the watcher hid behind the sand dunes
and kept his eye upon the woman as she
sat on the beach about fifty feet from the
line OF surf. She knew that he was there
and she made no demonstration, but sat
with her knees tucked up to her chin.
This went on from midnight until in
the morning, at which houI the watcher
grew cold and went back to the station,
he says, for an overcoat. When he re-
turned the woman was gone. He explains
his passiveness i'll the matter By saying

family quarrels and home separations would
never occur II you would always acknowledge
mistakes and show your sorrow for them. So
many times you believe you are not in the
least to blame when others think you are, and
consequently do not feel called upon to ask
forgiveness, inasmuch as you think there is
nothing to forgive. But you must remember
that you are always prejudiced in favor of
yourselves and your actions. and can
not clearly judge in such matters,
but if you take the matter
TO your spirit guides and ask our guidance as
10 what you should do ana abide by our an
swer we will guide you the right way,
and you will many times be surprised at the
different outlook that comes to you after you
ask our help.
You should, as spiritualists, take up your
work willingly, cheerfully and gladly relying
on God and the good angels ior strength, and
whenever there is the slightest chance that
you may be in the wrong, right it by asking
