DEAD CAPITAL. {"

There are strong arguments In favor
banks. Few people probably have any
conception what a vast amount of what
may be called ''dead capital les in
various obscure sections of the coun-
try. There are thousands upon thou
sands of hard working people who are

who have no confidence In banks OF
any kind, and who hoard their savings
in some convenient hiding place and
are liable to be robbed or perhaps
even murdered in defense of their own.
This deal capital amounts to millions.
If the government provided an invest
ment at low rate of interest, where
the question of security would be sll

thrift and better citizenship and bring

MAKEIT FIVE STORIES.

There is more Significance than a,
first appears in the movement for a
five story Masonic temple. The time
is ripe just now for such an enterprise.
1t would pay the projectors and it
would be for the general good. Not
only would such a building set the
pace for buildings to be constructed in
the future, and end the era of one
story buildings. but it would effectual-
ly open up channel into which would
pour Unlimited eastern capital for in
vestment here and for loaning
purposes at low ratse.
Every material interest in the city
Is in favor of the project, and it is to
be hoped that complete success will
crown the efforts OF those who are
working for it. To w. S. McCutcheon
Is due the credit of initiating the en-
terprise, and he has managed it ad-
mirably SO far. The thanks of the
community are due him for what he
has already accomplished. The mem
bers of the com mittee are all active
business men who can be trusted to do
what is best. Let US ali join hands
now with the Masons.

THE following dispatchwas printed
in the Philadelphia Inquirer last Sun
day:
Ell PASo, Texas, Jan. ia
criminal is to be executed in the Guar
tel at Juarez within the next few days
The man will be shot inside the walls
of the prison.
An admittance fee of % cents will
be charged all persons desiring TO
witness the execution and the money
will go to the widow of the condemned
man.
In the same edition of the Inquirer
the following editorial note stood out
boldly:
Down in Texas they are going to
shoot q criminal and the charge to To q
entertainment is 25 cents, the pro-
ceeds to go to the widow. Thrifty
widow!
In the first place the dispatch was sent
out from here by q sensational CORES
pondent when it had not the least
foundation in truth. In the second,
third, and fourth places Juarez Is in
Mexico, not Texas; they don't shoot
criminals in Texas, and they don't
have public executions. When will
eastern people cease to regard Texan
ss semi-savage?

To ERECT a bridge in Washington
that shall be a memorial to all the
| brave men whom the nation delights to
gaging the attention of men prominent
10 public affairs for more than q dozen
years. The suggestion was first made
in 1856 and since that time the subject
has frequently been discussed in con-
gress. Several bills have been
reasons they have failed
of passage and it was not until the past
few weeks that the friends OF the meas
ure had much hope that it could be
carried to completion. Then it was
announced that President Mckinley
was heartily in favor of the project and
tn at he had expressed the hope that
the initial step might be taken during
his present term of Office. The bridge
that Is to constitute this national
memorial will extend across the Po-
tomac river from Washington to Ar
lington and il is the presentintention 20
make 1t a memorial to the valiant men
of every period of our history and of
every section of the common country.
Sectionalism will have no place in it's
construction. There will be no north,
NO south. no east, and no west. No
particular wars will be represented,
but every hero from 1776 to 1899 will
be accorded his proper position and
all will unite to form a standing memo
rial to all men known as Americans
throughout the world.

and to them it is a boon indeed.
1t was Mr.. Gladstone who fret
brought the scheme OF postal savings
banks to successful issue in England.
This WAS in 1868. Since that time
other countries have taken it up with
success, and it ia now one OF the few gov
eminent accommod alton systems Anne
rica has not adopted after discovering
how valuable IL is. Mr.. Mckinley
could mark his administration with no
greater distinction than by urging d.

THREE CITIES WITH A GRIEVANCE

Chicago has a grievance. The mem
bers of the common council want ali
automobiles provided with tenders.
Washington has a grievance. The
press is conducting q crusade against
the rsmshackle coaches and cabs
which disHgure the streets of the
capital, and say that the prayers Of all
good citizens will go with those en-
gagged in $50 lsudable an under
taking"
Ell Psso has greater grievance
than either Chicago or Washington.
Our hacks are up to date. Automo-
biles we do not see except when a
circus comes to town. Mule cars are
our grievance The citizen with q
touch of dash and go in his make up
positively grosns when he tries to get
to particular place quickly on those
cars. It is no use saying: 1.-THE mule
cars must go!" There Is no ''go" to
them. Hence Ell Paso's grief.

AN "snti-sin society" has inaugurated
q crusade against the violation of the
Sunday laws by the saloons In Dallas.
The method OF the workers is to Gall

permission to speak in his house. On
their rounds last week one saloon man
said: "Webster, like your plan in
trying to close Us on Sunday. You
treat US kindly. You don't try to force
us and think shall take your advice.
Come and preach all you want to ia my
saloon" Thus far only two saloon
men have refused them a hearing in
their houses, but all the saloon cash
registers were merrily ringing to full
houses last Sunday

and it was decided to be mumps. lie
was given medical attendance for
about three weeks when the doctor
said it was scrofula and ordered a
salye. lie wanted to lance the sore,
but | would not let him and continued
giving him medicine for about four
months when the bunch broke ir two
places and became a running sore.
Three doctors said it was scrOfula and
each ordered a blood medicine. A
neighbor told me of q case somewhat
like our baby's which was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla. / decided 10
give it to my boy and in a short while
his health improved and his neck
healed so nicely that | stopped giving
him the medicine. The sore broke
out again, however, whereupon | again
gave him Hoods Sarsaparilla and its
