There is change in the directory
of the First National bank of this
city. A week ago Henry w. Kerker.
the oldest director of that bank after
the late August Steffen, resigned that
office with the bank. Mr.. Kerker is
off for California, and if he finds
things to his liking out there he will
stay there. In this uncertainty he
deemed it best to withdraw from the
directory, after % years of accept
able and continuous service with it.
His resignation was accepted with re-
gret. At the regular meeting of the
board of directors yesterday the
vacancy caused by the resignation
of Mr.. Kerker was filed by the cleo
tion of Wilson McClelland to the Of
flee of director.

NOTES FROM NEARBY

y DlNOn girl, the Otner nlSnJ- says
an exchange, stole out over the sleep
ing form of her mother, eloped with
and married her lover. That is the
kind of wife worth having. If she
can slip out over her mother with
out awakening her she ought to be
able to slip out over her sleeping
spouse without awakening him-and
llindle the kitchen fire.-Fulton Jour
nal.
If anything more were needed to
show the fraudulent character of
Miss Catherine Dansmure, the "al-
legged head nurse of all the Philip
pines" who represented Capt. McGirr
to be down with yellow fever, and to
be in n dying condition when she left
Manila, it is letter received here to-
day, by Barney Waggoner, whose
son is employed in a printing office
in Manila. The letter bears the date
Oct. 3, il is said. Mr.. Waggoner
speaks of seing Capt. McGirr on the
street alive and well. This settles
the discussion. \ man who is on the
streets of Manila Oct. 3, the day
after Miss Dansmore left Manila, is
certainly not down with the black
spots that presage death. And here
Iatherine is dropped.-Galesburg Re-
publican Register.
At the home of her son, John
Coney, near Deer Grove, the vener-
able Mrs. Mary Cooney died Tues
day, Nov. IL, at the advanced age of
% years. She was believed to be. the
oldest woman in Whiteside county.
Mrs. Coney was born in Ireland in
1906, and married there, coming to
this country with her husband and
family about forty years ago. The
husband died soon after, and his
widow has since made her home with
her son John, who, with two broth
ers, Thomas and Luke, survive. The
funeral was held at the Catholic
church in Tampico.
Representative James III. Andrews
