was found that Brown had been fore

the total of $4,000 had been with

Criminal Proceedings.
The examiner further said that the
matter of criminal proceedings had
been referred to United States Dis
trict Attorney Hill, of Louisville,
who would cause warrant for
Browns arrest to be issued. The ex-
aminer himself had not taken this
step because he knew that Brown was
absent. The only bond which the bank
holds is that of Paris c. Brown, the
father of the assistant cashier, who is
well-know river man. and president
of the Consolidated Boat Store Co.

This bond is an open one, condi-
toned to cover any shortage by the
son. 1t is said that though Paris C..
Brown has voluntarily offered his en-
tire property to meet his obligation,
not more than $20,0O0 can be realized
from this source. The examiner stat
ed that while he had been named as
temporary receiver, the appointment
of permanent receiver was in the
hands of the comptroller of the cur
rency.
The Stock of No Value.
The stock he says, is of no value, as
double liability assessment must be
made. Depositors may receive a divi-
dend as soon as the comptroller of
the currency will authorize it, but
this may be weeks and even months.
Dcpositors will be notified of the
amounts to their credit and they will
be required to make proof of their
claims.

HOSPITALITY
OF Marietta Required for Convention Of
Women'S Clubs.

The committees appointed from the
Womans Centennial Association, and
the Marietta Improvement Association
to forward the. work of the coming
| Convention of Women's Clubs to be
| held in Marietta, October oath, 25th
and 26th, are actively engaged in pre-
paration for it, and are succeeding in
their efforts with one exception, and
that one of the most important fea-
lures connected with the work, viz
Accommodations. 1t was hoped and eX-
pected that private families would un-
der the circumstances readily respond
| to the canvass made, and it is mat
ter of surprise and even dismay that
more do not The Hotels will reserve
all the rooms they can, but they are
constantly overtaxed
1t must be remembered that the
members of these clubs do not ask for
| free entertainment, but expect and
prefer to pay for their Accommodations;
and no one need have the least hesi-
fancy in accepting it, The local Exec
utive Committee cannot too strongly
urge the residents of Marietta to as
sist in this matter. There is no one
coming who will not be an acceptable
guest, or whose presence in the family
will make any material difference, as
her attention will be largely given to
the sessions of Convention. 1t is fur
thermore stay of only three or four
days.
The following uniform rate has been
established for private houses: $1.50
a day including board; and rs cents
for each person without board, wheth-
er one or two in room. Single meals
at boarding houses or restaurants, %
cents each.
This is a test of Marietta's hospital
ity; but either from misunderstanding
or indifference, residents are not re-
spending as fully as the needs of the
case require. 1t will be large and
notable gathering of the Club Women
of Ohio, prominent in education, liter
ature, and philanthropy. Between
400 and 500 will be in attendance, and
Accommodations must be secured for
them.
All who can and will receive guests
are requested to notify Miss Alice

AN INDIAN ROMANCE.
Story of Frances Slocum and Her
Life Among the Redmen.
Monument Unveiled over the Spot
where She Now Lies Buried-Cap-
tured by Indians when nut
Five Years Old.

An impressive ceremony was OBJ
served at the little village of Peoria,
Miami county, Ind, the other day in
the unveiling of monument to mark
the resting place of Frances Slocum.
The story of Frances Slocum dates
back to period in the revolutionary
war. When she was five years old she
lived with her parents near the Wilkes
barre (Pa.) fort. One night the log
cabin in which they lived was besieged
by Indians. The father and brother
were massacred by the savages, but the
mother and children were spared;
Frances was taken west with the In
dians, and her people were in ignorance
of her whereabouts. The mother did
not abandon hope. She said her soul
constantly communed with that of her
lost child, and she often said that she
knew by intuition that Frances was
alive and that she would again see her.
Finally, the family heard of white
woman who was living with a tribe of
Indians in western Pennsylvania. The
brothers left the mother and, taking
guns and provisions, began their long
tramp through trackless forest TO
the point they had been directed.
Their efforts were rewarded, for, on ar
irving at the village, they found their
sister, now grown to nearly woman
hood.
She finally consented, after much de-
liberation, to accompany the brothers
home. The Indians were 10th to give
her up, but on her promise to return to
them they acquiesced to her plans.
Mrs. Slocum cherished her with moth
er's tenderness, but the wild flower
from the forest pined for life of free
dom. At last Frances returned TO the
Indians who had reared her.
In 1897, SO years after her capture.
her relatives again heard from her.
She was living near Logansport, Ind.
Her brother, Joseph Slocum. and
sister journeyed from Pennsylvania to
visit her. Soon after the death of her
foster parents her hand was sought in
marriage by young chief of the tribe.
and she was happy in her domestic re-
lations. Her first husband died. and
she again married, taking for hus-
band one of the Miami tribe.
She died in 1856. and was buried IN
what is now the village of Miami with
considerable pomp. for she was regard
ed as the queen of the tribe and wom-
an of much more than passing conse-
ouence

HOAX ON BRITISH MUSEUM.
Mysterious Box, Bequeathed In 1884,
Opened and Found to Contain
Only Trash.

The British museum trustees, who
include Premier Salisbury, Lord Rose
berry, Alfred Rothschild and several
other eminently important person
ages, have just been made the victims
of an extraordinary hoax.
Francis Douce famous antiquary,
who died in 1884, bequeathed box to
the British museum trustees, stipulat-
ing it should not be opened until 1900.
At meeting of the trustees the box
was solemnly unsealed and unlocked
by the curator of the museum, when
1t was found to contain nothing but
old fragments of paper, torn book COW
ers and other rubbish, with note
from Douce saying that, in his opin-
ion, it would be wasting any more
valuable or interesting objects to leave
them to persons of the average intelli-
gence and taste of the British mu-
scum trustees.
The trustees tried to look amused,
but the meeting dispersed in silence.
The janitor was called to throw
Douce's bequest into the ashbin.
