BANK CASHIER MISSING.
Fears That He Has Been Eou11y
Dealt With

ARKANSAS CITY Kas.), Aug. 10
George A Kimmell, cashier of the
Farmers State Bank of this city, is
missing. His case is most mysterious,
and his friends fear that he has been
made away with.
Mr.. Kimmell left this city July Doth,
taking with him 5000 worth Of
township bonds to the State Treasurer
at Topeka. He delivered the bonds and
sent back to his bank a draft covering
the full amount of the transaction. On
the following day Mr. Kimmell went to
Kansas City and registered at the
Midland Hotel. During the forenoon,
it has been learned, he telephoned from
the hotel to a Kansas City bank in
which he had money deposited to send
him $500 to the hotel. The money was
sent.
An examination of the bank here
proves the cashiers books to be correct
in every detail. His friends fear that he
has been foully dealt with.

BATTLESHIP TEXAS.
Looks as Trim and Neat as If She

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Freshly
painted and looking as trim and neat
as if she had only gone into commits
sion, the United States battleship Texas
awaits a favorable tide to be foated
out of dry dock at the Brooklyn navy
yard. The needed repairs to her hull,
upper sides, superstructure and ma
chinery have been completed under the
watchful supervision of Naval Con-
structor Bowles, and if anything the
war vessel is stancher and more form
idable than ever.
The authorities at the navy yard ex-
pect the other vessels of the squadron
to arrive by the end of the week, and
the cruiser Brooklyn will probably be
the first to reach the yard. The new
dry dock will be ready to receive one
of the vessels within two weeks, as the
workmen who are removing the Golfer
dam in front of the big dry dock are
now cutting away the last row of high
wooden piles which obstruct the en-
trance.

PRESENCE OF MIND.
He Was a Keen Boy and Was Equah
to the Occasion when Caught
at Mischief.

The farmer crept stealthily along behind
the fence. Step by step he advanced, always
with his gaze fastened upon the cherry tree,
in the distance. -,
"Gol durn them town boys, anyway" he
muttered to himself, as he took a frmer grip
upon the ugly-looking switch that he had
cut from the hickory back of the barn, I'll
show 'em"
Nearer and nearer he drew to the spot
where the engagement was to occur. Softly,
like tiger advancing upon its prey, he
edged along through the weeds, from one
fence corner to another.
Meanwhile the boy in the tree kept crook
ing his elbow at 32-knot clip. The cherries
were large and fat and red, and he had a
wonderful tonnage. Ever and anon he would
smack his lips, and eject handful Of stones
from his mouth. 1t was glorious.
Suddenly a rugged form seemed to rise, up
out of the ground, and somebody bawled in
tones that were husky with emotion:
"Here,. drat your hide, what are you dom
up there"
1t was one of those moments when word
nay win all or cause all to be lost.
The boy dropped the biggest, reddest,
juiciest cherry that he had been able to
reach, pulled himself together, drew his bare,
brown legs up under him, and replied:
"Im rememberin' the Maine"
When he could speak again the farmer
said:
'If they amt enough here fer you, there's
another nice tree full of 'em, up yonder in
the orchard. d."-Cleveland Leader.
