BANK SUPERVISION.
The Able and Practical Address OF Mr..
J. T. Thomas, Cashier Of Gre.
NADIA Bank.
An Article Well Worthy of Careful Psrusal.

On an inside page of this issue of
the SENTINEL we publish an address
delivered by Mr.. j. T. Thomas before
the Mississippi Bankers Association
at McComb City, on State Bank SUI
pervision." 1t is an able and well
written article and would do credit to
the oldest and most sagacious imam
cier of the country. In this day Of
aggregated wealth, combinations of
interests and pooling of issues, banks
are more nearly than yer before the
keys that open the gateways to indi-
yidual enterprise and industrial pros
perity. They hold the miser's savings,
the widows mite" the laborers'
bread and the rich mans all. They
are in touch, as no other business in
stitution is, with the high and the
low, the rich and the poor, and as Mr..
Thomas aptly states they need the
confidence of the people and the peo-
pie need to know that their funds are
being wisely and judiciously handled.
He further shows that a c%ontiding
public can in no other way ascertain
the status Of a bank than by state
supervision and official examination
as well. And indeed we say that well
managed institutions will not object
to this; but will court the greatest
publicity Of their arrangements, rea-
lizing that the confidence of the peo-
pie is their best asset, and that their
annual statements will show that it
Yields the largest dividends.
We commend Mr.. Thomas for the
wisdom of this article. 1t is just in
keeping with the open and candid
characteristics which has Yer mark
ed his dealing with the public. His
career has been one Of success and of
promotion from the time he became
deputy chancery clerk. lie was then
made circuit clerk, then chancery,
then cashier Of the Grenada bank.
The bank mas had almost a marvel
Il success and everywhere Mr.. Thorn
as has always shown himself the
broad-gauged man; the man Of quick
intellect: the man that could lift the
veil and with telescope vision dis
Germ the breakers ahead and set the
sails to evade that which might cause
Others to encounter serious delays and
perpleXities.
Besides all of his qualities as bust
ness man and a inancier, "Tol," as
he is Familiarity known. is Il man Of
tender heart and of broad philanthro-
ply. and few men dispense more chari'
ties than he.
The paper referred to, together
with d picture Of Mr.. Thomas. wa,
published in fun in the New Orlean:
Picayune, as well as a majority of the
papers in the state and we commend
it to all thoughtful people.

Senator Spooner is worth about
$3.50, 600, and says he doesn't want
any more. Being the ablest corpora
ton lawyer in the northwest he could
easily make a fortune simply by work
ing at his profession. But he says that
if he piled up fortune his sons, who
are steady, industrious, ambitious
young men, might be spoiled by a
desire to spend it, and 50 he prefers
things as they are.-EX.
The above is worthy of remember
ing. Very few men look at things
in this ligh-tbut very few men reach
as high a place as Senator Spooner, 50
what he says should be of considerable
weight.

enue, almost directly In front of the resi-

SHoPLIFTERS ARE CAPTURED
Succeed in Getting Goods Out of store,
but Fail to Get out of
Town.

ATLANTIC, Ia, Oct. 31.-(Special.)-One
Of the boldest attempts at shoplifting has
been successfully carried out in Atlantic.
There are three men in the deal and from
all that can be learned they have been
making q regular run along the Rock Island
road.
Just as the clerk opened the dry goods
store Of Gillette & sons two men stepped
in. One Of them asked to see some goods
that were kept in the back part of the
store. The clerk went back with him. The
other man remained in the front part. They
were In the store only a short time, but
after they had gone It occurred to Mr.. Gill
Iette, who had arrived in the meantime,
that they were there for some other pur-
pose than to buy goods. The silk shelves
were checked up and it was found that over
500 worth OF silks had disappeared. it
happened that no trains leave Atlantic at
this time and there was time to get men
stationed before any came, so that avenue
Of escape was cut off. Search was made
and the goods we're discovered in a restau-
rant. Just before noon one of the men was
discovered and recognized as the man who
left the goods. A little later another one
was caught and about 8 o'clock the last
man was found. They are now in the
county Jail.
1t is believed that these men, with posi-
bly, others, are in an organization for the
purpose OF doing the kind Of work at
tempted at this place. There a been
several other instances where goods have
mysteriously disappeared here, as well as
In other towns. 1t may be that the capture
Of these men will lead to the capture Of
others, or at least will help explain where
the goods Of some Of the merchants in
other towns have gone to.

KING TREATED FOR CANCER
Ulcer at Root of Nose Removed by X-Rays
Treatment.
OBSCURE PHYSICIAN is EMPLOYED
He is, However, a Pioneer in the Use
of Electricity for ANGER and
His Death AXE the
story Public.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-According to Il
medical periodical which will be issued
here tomorrow, a letter has been received
from the London correspondent of the
paper to the effect that the death OF DR..
Arthur Barry Blacker on September 10, in
London, discloses for the first time the fact
that King Edward was treated with X
rays sixteen times last spring for a rodent
ulcer at the root of the nose. This was
prior to his abdominal crisis which de-
layed the coronation. The letter says:
DR.. Blacker, who was just 40 years Of
age, was one Of the pioneers OF the light
treatment in this country and had for the
last year or two held the post Of super
intendent of the X-ray department in a
London hospital. To his obscurity he owed
the honor of being chosen. The king had
a small rodent ulcer near the root of the
nose, which was successfully death with
after sixteen applications.
By a strange irony Of fate the physician
himself fell a victim to cancer In the very
moment OF his success. He was attacked
by epithelioma of the axilla. Amputation
at the shoulder joint was thought Of. but
the disease spread so rapidly that the idea
of surgical Intervention had to be aban-
doned.

Special Term of Court.
The supreme court will meet again in
Des Moines, December 16, for the purpose
OF finishing up the business of the year
and filing decisions which have been pre-
pared and are ready at that time. 1t is
customary to hold a December term each
year. but not to listen to arguments at
that time or receive the submission OF new
cases. The greatest interest attaches to
what the court will do with the cases Of
Brooks and Phillips, who have appealed
to the court for a new trial. Their day
for being hanged is December IS. The
court might announce a decision before
the time of converting, but is not likely to
dc SO. This means that Brooks and Phillips
will not know until two days before the
day set for execution whether they are
to be hanged or get a new trial. The stu
alton is likely to become intensely inter-
esting for them and for the warden Of the
penitentiary about that time.
