NILES BANK IN A BAD WAY
Missing Cashier Now Charged with For
geries Aggregating 100000.


Niles, Mich, March 1.-the direct
ors of the suspended First National
bank yesterday filed declaration
against Charles A. Johnson, the miss
ing cashier of the bank, alleging that
forgeries amounting to 100000 against
leading citizens of this county have
been committed by him. 1t was found
that there was a great quantity Of
forged paper held by the institution.
Bank Examiner Selden filed papers
with the county clerk at st. Joseph,
attaching all of Johnson's property,
but it will not cover the shortage by
many thousands. No trace of Johnson
has been discovered.
Of the forged paper found $4,000
was against 4. L. Wilkinson, of st.
Joseph, a member of the abstract firm
of Dix & Wilkinson, which did large
business with the bank. So many To-
cal manufactures and business firms
are embarrassed by the suspension
that it is vital to the town that the
banks affairs be settled up with all
possible speed.
Columbus, O., March 1S.-Charles A.
Johnson, cashier Of the First National
bank of Niles, Mich, was arrested
here on charge of wrecking that in
stitutiOn. He was placed in the emer-
gency hospital at the police station
because of his physical condition. He
was surprised at his arrest, but
promptly confessed his guilt and ex-
pressed a desire to return to Michigan
as soon as possible. He is badly brok-
en- in health, much emaciated and very
nervous, due partly to the severe nerv-
Gus strain of the last ten days and to
excess in drinking.

thus afforded will be q notable feature
of the Exposition. Prominent among
the organizations engaged is Sousa's
Band which is known wherever there
are lovers of music and whose sue
cess in the rendition of military music
has been remarkable.
The most notable achievement in the
history of International events was per-
haps the trumphal tour made by Sou

tending from April to September, 1900.
1t was % years since an American
band had been heard on the European

composer that the tour became a series

RARE COMBINATION.
The Floral and Electrical Display Mt

che Pan-Americon Exposition.
There is a saying that BLOWERS are
the poetry of earth. as stars are the
poetry of heaven" If this be true, the
beauty of the floral effects to be seen
at the Pan American Exposition will be
pronounced as rare combination of
both for never yet at an exposition
have such magnificent effects been
seen as will be visible in some of the
fountain basins at the Pan-American.
There beautiful plants and flowers,
kissed to a state of dewy daZzlement
by the falling spray and the glow of
concealed incandcscent lamps, will de
light the visitor.
At the exposition in Omaha some
little success was obtained in thus
lighting up the flowers and the foliage
of plants in the water basins, and this
has led Henry +. Rustin, chief of the
mechanical and electrical bureau, TO at
tempt to enlarge upon what he accom-
pliShed in Omaha. When thus lighted,
the flowers and plants take upon them

more beautiful than the color displayed
under full sunlight Then the little
mystery of where the illumination
comes from is delightful, and, knowing
this, the skilled electrician is most care
full to conceal his lamps where least
likely to attract the eye. Perhaps an
artificial leaf. an artificial flower, is
used to-hide the lamp, but its full bril-
liancy is allowed to beam upon the
plant and flowers, making picture
that is lasting. 1t is when such effects
are obtained that the full appreciation
of enjoyment is expressed in the single
word beautiful" 1t was so at Omaha,
and it will be more so at the Pan
American.
