COSTLY BANK BUILDINGS.

Another false idea tenaciously held In many
quarters is that dormant accounts pay for costly
bank buildings. The estimated market value OF
all the savings bank buildings In the State Is over
Hi0cOO0O or almost eight times the total amount
OF the dormant accounts. Only fourteen such
buildings are occupied exclusively by the banks
owning them. while nearly seventy yield some
return upon their cost besides the rentals they

MYSTERIOUS ST. LOUIS MAN
STRANGE LETTER TO HIS PRO
POSED VICTIM.
Wrote That He Was Employed to
Kill Banker Madill, but Would
Desist if Advanced $1,000.

st. Louis, Jan. 2S.-The case of the
young man who was arrested in an at
tempt to hold up President MadiH of
the Union Trust company last Tues
day and secure $1,000 at the point of a
pistol, is as mysterious as. ever.
Today the following letter, which was
handed to Mr. Madill by the man at
the time of the attempt, was made pub
lie for the first time:
Mr.. Madill-I have been employed to
come here on a most unusual errand,
which, though very distasteful, is very
urgent. To save words, l have tried
to put the nature of my business in
writing. which 1 want you to read from
beginning to end before making any
comments. for the end may seem bright
er than the beginning. 1 will tell you
now that l stand ready to blow your
brains out if you make the slightest
cutlery, so ] warn you not to do so.
Mr. Madell. 1 have been employed
TO murder you by two people, whom [
suppose viii benefit richly by your
death, for they have offered me $4,000
to kill you. 1t was planned to kill you
at night, but before committing such a
crime l decided to first come here and
give you a chance to save your life. l
am a desperate man, desperate for
money. and when tell you that 1 must
have that money to save my life You
will understand why l am willing to
commit murder and takes a chance at
the gallows to get it.
Mr.. Madill, l do not want to kill you
1 am doing this for money only. and if
you want to save your life there is but
one method. and that is advancing me
1000 l am not a common criminal.
and do not wish to either kill or rob
you, and if you pay me this money and
promise not to prosecute me, l wiz
promise you, upon the honor of a man,
to repay every cent of it to you.
MIR. Madill, 1 think you understood
the situation. 1t is a matter of money
or death. If you want your life spared
say so. If not. SO say, and may God
be with your soul if you say no.

GULLIBLE PEOPLE WARNED.
Fake Agents From Dawson With Ger
tificates of Worthless Mines.

Ottawa, Ont, Jan. 27.-The Canadian
government has just received a report
from Major Walsh written on Christ
mas evening at Big Salmon river, in
which he discusses the food problem as
it will have to be faced after the terri
tory is filed up with the new pOpula-
ton that will go in neXt'spring. He cal
culatos that the river boats will not be
able to land more than one-half the
supply necessary to sustain the esti
mated population next summer. He
does not believe that $4,000 people can
get in. One part of his report contains
an important warning, of which the
public should take notice. He says:
Il am informed that 10 or 20 agents
and brokers have come out from Daw-
son City, carrying with them, some say
hundreds, some say thousands, of GER
tificates for entries of mines on all the
streams in the neighborhoOd of the
Klondike river (upon which streams /
believe there never was an ounce of
gold found, and on all other streams
in the district and the mountain tops,
with the hope that they can be put on
the market and be readily seized by the
gullible public of the United States and
Canada. They are trying to initiate
the brokers of South Africa and Ross
land, and there is no question but that
it will be injurious to the country and
to the good properties that may be put
on the market.

n. Maitland Kersey's Anger Mey
Cost Him $4,000.

New York, Jan. 2S.-H. Maitland
Kersey. formerly the agent of the
White Star line in this city. and who
is now the head of a Klondike mining
syndicate composed of well-known Eu-
ropean capitalists, was arrested last
night in a suit for $1,000 damages for
alleged assault, brought against him by
Julia Gleason, his FORMER cook. The
arrest took place in the corridors of the
Waldorf-Astoria hotel, where Mr.. Ker-
sey had gone to attend the Manufac-
turers' association banquet. Mr.. Ker-
sey gave bail in So, coo cash to the dep
uty sheriff, and took part in the dinner
without further interruption.
Mr.. Kersey's lawyers have put in an
answer. denying the complaint. The
allegation made in the complaint is
that Mr.. Kersey attempted to kiss his
cook, and that because she prevented
him, he slapped her face.

FIELD DAY FOR SILVER.
Conclusion of the Great Debate o.
Teller Resolution.

Teller Resolution.
Washington, Jan. 2S.-In accordance
with agreement, the senate convened
at 10 a. m. today. The chaplain being
absent. the vice president opened the
session without the usual invocation.
BY unanimous consent the routine
business was waived, and Mr.. Stewart
of Nevada opened the last days dis
cussion of the Teller resolution. In
supporting the resolution, Mr.. Stewart
maintained that money. whether it be
silver or gold or paper, was a creature
of law. the creation of money being
inherent in all independent nations.
He said that this statement had been
upheld by the highest of tribunals. and
cited historical instances of such Gre
alton Of money.
PRESIDENTS BANQUET SPEECH.
After a legal discussion of the money
question, Mr.. Stewart said. referring
to the speech of President Mckinley in
New York last night. that he regretted
to see that the president had not
studied this question more deeply and
that he was utterly misguided. He
quoted the following sentence from
the presidents speech:
Nothing should ever tempt us-noth-
ing ever will tempt us-to scale down
the sacred debt of the nation through
2 legal technicality. Whatever may
be the language of the contract, the
United States win discharge all of its
obligations in the currency recognized
as the best throughout the civilized
world ct the time Of payment"
Mr. Stewart thought this was a re-
znarkable statement, which meant sim
ply that nothing but gold was good
enough for the bondholder. Mr.. Nc
Einley, said Mr.. Stewart, refers to the
option of the government to pay its
obligation in either gold or silver as
a mere technicality. and he did this.
too. in the face of his own vote in ia
vor Of the resolution We are consider
ing. Vow the president calls this op-
ton of the government-worth thou
sands of --7illions-a mere technicality.
What Tuage for a president to
user' excl ed Mr.. Stewart. We
cannot use this money in the treo surv
unless it is recognized by other ma
tons of the world as the best money. !
The despots and gold syndicates of Eu- !
rope are to name the kind of money. /
regardless Of what the law Of the I,
