Sacrificed Everything in Order to Do

Itisa pretty story. Its worth read
ing a second time. The Portland
Evening Journal tells it thus:
"The attempts Of a local morning
paper to cast slurs on George E..
Chamberlain, the democratic can.
didate for governor, because be has
not accumulated great wealth and
is unable to spend thousands of
dollars in his campaign, revives the
story that is so we'll known in Linn
county and throughout the Villa
mette Valley Because this story
is true; because all the people in
the valley know it, and because
George E. Chamberlain would do
the same thing again under the
same circumstances, are reasons
why Linn county is expected to
give him thousand or 1900 ma
jority at the June election. The
incident occurred nine years ago in
the city of Albany.
when the Linn County Nation
al Bank went into liquidation, Mr..
Chant erlain had for sometime
been a resident of that eity and had
by diligent and wise practice of his
profession accumulated some
wealth.
He had beautiful home and
had other assets, which made his
total holding, as it is understood
there, about $40, 900 in round num-
bers. Mr.. Chamberlain had accom-
modated friend by signing some
notes, which were held in the Linn
County National Bank. The bank
failed. To rrote ct his name and
credit. he turned over all his prop
erty and every dollar he possessed
in the world to discharge the obli-
ga'ion, which he had taken for a.
mother man, and then applied him
self to the payment of the balance,
refusing any proposition locking to-
ward settlement at less than 100
cents on the dollar plus the accrued
interest. Although urged so to do,
he refused to compromise any obli
CATION under which he rested. The
incident is cited by friends as in
dicative of his high sense of person
al honor

TO IND0RSE,-OR NOT?

It is impossible for Mr. J. O. Will
son and his friends to eliminate the
Job bank failure from this cam
paign. The 1amentab1e collapse of
that bank, and the circumstances
that surrounded it are facts that
will not down. The sacred funds
of public institutions, the savings
of old men and the mites of widows
and orphans were placed in that
bank for safe keeping. Mr. Will
son remained with the bank until
the collapse came. That collapse
swept away the all of many per-
sons.
AS a bookkeeper aMr Wilson
knew that the financial affairs of
the bank were rotten to the core.
He knew that upwards of $780,
900 had been placed in there for
safe keeping, and the night the
bank closed for the last time, he
knew that less than $4,000 was
on hand in the bank vaults. He
knew then as he knows now, that
$45, 900 of the bank funds had been
diverted improperly to the Niagara
Mill bubble. He knew then as he
knows now, that he was a stock
holder in this mill, and that the
$45,ooo of funds sunk in that
scheme belonged to the bank de-
positors. He knew then as he
knows now, that the bank had no
right to use the money of depositors
for such purpose.
1t is folly for his friends to at
tempt to excuse him with the claim
that ''He was hired man.. He
was the bookkeeper and knew,
possibly better than the Jobs them
selves knew, the actual condition of
affairs. Besides the unusual in
timacy between him and the Jobs
is well remembered in this commu-
nifty.
The real question then becomes,
is it, or is it not right for public
banks doing a public business to
use the funds of depositors in
such a way that those funds shall
be wholly lost? If it is not
wrong, then Mr. Wilson has a right
to expect support on his merits as
a candidate for public favor. If it is
wrong, then those who believe it
wrong should decline to support
Mr. Wilson for clerk. His defeat
would be public condemnation
of reckless banking in general,
and of the Job method in particular.
1t would be the voice of the people
declaring that wildcat banking
stands forever condemned. On the
other hand, his election would be
the voice of the people declaring
that no seal of condemnation
should be stamped on such lam
entab1e bank co11apses as that in
which he was part. i

OE COURSE.

The Gazette says Mr. Woodson
would be a good man for county
judge. Of course the Gazette
would say that. The Gazette is
Mr. Woodcock's paper. Mr. Wood
son is an employein Mr. Woodcock' S
bank. It is the natural thing un-
der the circumstances for the Ca
zette to whoop it up for Mr. Wood
son. The bank has tax matters
now pending before the county
court. Why shouldn't Mr. Wood
cocks paper say that Mr. Wood
cocks bank emp1oye ought to be
elected county judge?

kerchiefs knotted at the four corners.
Horns, tamborines and rattles we're carried
for use as a marching index. Canes were
swung, scarlet and cream streamers at the
end. The canes were heavy and stout, for
the Dents were out looking for trouble.
They were not asked to participate in the
parade, and dark groups Of them Swallowed
the lime light rollickers all the evening
in the hope that a few might become de-
tached and thus fall easy victims for haz-
ing. But the NEEDLES we're wise and hung

Mayor Moores was visited and cheered to
the echo. He responded in a neat speech,
congratulating the boys on their reception
to the state university and welcoming them
to the streets of the city. Every hotel was
visited, both theaters cast in an uproar,
and around the fountain In the court of The
Bee building special ceremonies were held.
Finally one grand Nebraska yell was given
on Douglas street at IL o'clock and the
parade disbanded, after having been en-
route since 1880, when It left the college
building. But apparitions in white were
seen on the streets singly and in pairs and
trios for many hours after that, and 1t was
not till the wee hours that all traces OF
Omaha's first shirt-tail parade had van
ished.

SHIRTS AND ovERALLS BURN
Fire at Eastern Manufacturing Conn
pany's Place Destroys
Some stock.

Fire was discovered in the room occu-
pied by the Eastern Manufacturing com
pany in the three-story brick known as
the Linten block, 921 South Thirteenth
street, at 1880 o'clock last night and did
damage to the amount OF 81, 900 before 1t
was extinguished by the department. The
company is under the management OF N.
NJ. Bass and makes shirts, overalls, etc,
and has occupied the room for the last
FIVE months, the rear Of 1t being used as
living apartments OF the Bass family. Most
Of the stock and machinery, valued by Mrs.
Bass at 81 1000. was badly damaged.
The fire was discovered by Fred Lemar,
who was passing, and at that time 1t was
burning in the rear OF the room and had
gained considerable Roadway, the smoke
issuing from it filling nearly every room In
the block and driving the occupants Of the
second story down on the street. Adjoin-
ing the manufacturing company on the
south is the grocery store OF NJ. Newman,
whose room was filled with smoke and con-
siderable damage done to his stock.
BY good work on the part Of the fremen
the blaze was confined to the one room and
very little damage was done TO the build
ing. How the fire originated Is unknown,
as none OF the Bass family was at home OF
the time and there had been no fire in the
| building during the day. Mrs. Bass said
that when she left home she left the gas
| lighted and knew Of no other way, that the
hre could originate. The stock was in
| sured for $500.
