4 GREAT BANKING HOUSE.
National Bank Of Commerce in Which
Abilene d interested.

Through the courtesy Of President
N. S. Woods, a prominent Abilene
capitalist was last week shown
through the National Bank Of Com
nerce Of Kansas City and his des-
sription Of this splendid banning
house, one Of the largest in the Nation
will be Of interest to the people Of
this city.
1.-The bank" said he, "has capital
Of q, 900, 900 and q surplus fund Of
nearly 100000. 1t has $4,000 de-
positors whose average daily deposits
approximate 100000. Its total de-
posits are $lS,OOO,0O0, its cash and
sight exchange $s,OOo,OoO,it being the
largest bank in the West except one
bank in Chicago. St. Louis cannot
touch it. An idea Of the magnitude
Of its business may be gained from
the fact that it pays $4,000 a year
for postage. There are ll2 employees
and a special dining room in the
building is arranged for the officers
and clerks. The bank resembles .
bee hive. Near the closing hour it is
NO unusual thing to see 800 to 4oo
customers in the bank transacting
business. Under the efficient man
agement Of DR.. Woods and his CASH
iers. W. H. Winants, W. A. Rule,
Chas. H. Moore, J. G. Stream and l..
Il. Prindle, the immense business Is
transacted without the least jar or
confusion. The National Bank Of
Commerce is the correspondent OF all
the Abilene banks and there is from
$4,000 to 100000 Of Abilene money
in its hands all the time. Its busi-
ness is conducted on conservative
lines and reaches cut over the entire
Mississippi Valley. 1t is an institu.
tion Of which the West should be and
is proud and reflects credit both on
its managers and on Kansas City o1
which 1t is the leading financial in
stitution."

THE LAW AND THE GOSPEL.
Interesting Services Were Held at
the Hall Yesterday.
TFrom Mondays Daily.l

Sunday was a full day for Evangel-
ist Thomson. Three great services
on Sunday and two five days Of the
week, besides personal interviews and
the care Of plans for the work, keep
him diligent in business, fervent in
spirit, serving the Lord. Yet with
all this be seems not to grow weary.
He must have bread TO eat that we
know not Of.
He preached on the Southside in the
United Brethren church yesterday
morning. He will probably preach
in the Lutheran church next Sunday
morning and then round up in the
Methodist church the Sunday next
following.
At the service yesterday afternoon
for men only the hall was we'll filled
and his sermon on "lnAuence" was
manly, heroic and truth-telling. His
portrayal of the next to the most dan.
gerous man in the community (the
man not Christian, but 50 nearly
| like q Christian as to make it difficult
to distinguish the Christian from him)
was vivid but not overdrawn. Then
his dashlight on the most dangerous
man in the community (the careless
Christian who does not find enough to
do for Christ and frequents the bill
lizard hall, the card table and the
dance) was a surprise, but scarcely
less true for that. The searchlight OF
Evangelist Thomson makes insects

while some Of them creep into their
holes and pick their picaroon strings

and impressive sight. The chorus

The United States circuit court Of
appeals, in an opinion given at St. Louis,
rules that "boycott" is not a legal
weapon. The case was one in which the
coopers' union boycotted company
which had put in machinery for hoop
ing barrels. An injunction against the
union, granted by lower court, was
sustained by the circuit court OF ap-
peals on the ground that the defend
ants had no right to organize conspir-
acy to deprive the plaintiff Of the right
to do its business In its own way; and
that, II this were lawful, the use Of
thousands Of useful inventions might
be prevented. Judge Caldwell dissent
ed from his associates In on opinion
in which he denounced trusts, and de-
clared that workingmen had the right
to use the strike or the boycott, SO long
as they did SO in an orderly manner.
