Invents Telegraph Typewriter.

Frank and W. =. Pearne of Grand
Island. Neb., have left for Syracuse,
N, where the factory of a type writer
company has been thrown open to
them for the manufacture of a more
perfect telegraph typewriter, of which
Frank Pearne, a Young and very uc-
cessful electrician, is the %patentee.
The machine, IL practicable, and there
is much promise that it will be. would
be of vast benefit to the Western Union
offices all over the country as well as
to the offices Of the metropolitan news
papers. A typewriter in Grand Island
could, through the application Of this
machine, string out copy in a minute
in the Office Of the Journal, and the in.
ventors expect to see 1t larg ely used
by the large newsgathering and die
seminating associations.

FORCED TO CLOSE
National Bank at Newport, KY,
in Receivers Hands.
TOTAL STtALINGS FIGURE UP SIsl,5OO


The experts who have been working
with Receiver Tucker on the books Of
the German National Bank of New.
port. Ky, place the alleged shortage
Of Frank NJ. Brown, the missing
assistant cashier and indiv idual book
keeper, at si9l 800.
According TO reports from those who
were with Brown when he left Nov.
l3, he had less than $500 with him.
Browns salary was only 81 200 a year.
His bond was for $4,000.
Browns system required a wonder
full memory. The experts say he car
ried In his head the figures that en-
abled him Il call of correctly a lot of
false entries In a way TO throw the
clerks who were doing the checking
completely Oft the track. A depositor
would put in 80, 100. Brown, II is said,
would enter the proper amoun of
the deposit in one book and
enter II as 500 in another. He would
take the differences ,OOo-himself.
Then when IL came TO checking
up, he would handle one of che
books. Another clerk would check
and Brown would call off. Instead of
calling off 500 which appeared AZ the
amount of the deposit on the book
which he was handling he would call
IL rs %, 100 thus making IL correspond
with the book in the hands of the
other clerk. He also, IL is alleged,
worked it in another way. A deposit
or would draw out 500. Brown would
make the proper entry in one book and
enter 80, 100 in another. When the de.
| positor had his account checked up the
figures were taken from the book in
which the correct entry had been
made. When the bank officials looked
TO see what amount was due the de
positor they were given their informa-
ton from the book which showed So
100, was drawn. The general ledger
was correctly kept and balanced with
the cash, while the individual ledge,
1t Is alleged, was fixed to suit Browns
purposes, the former the one that the
bank officials examined. 1t is generaly
believed that Browns first shortage
started accidentally with an error o.
81, 900 In the individual account.
