BY President Roosevelt.
CANTON, o., Jan. 27.-President

By reference to the advertisement
at the head of the fifth page of today's
REPUBLICAN it will be noticed that
the Garrett County Bank has been
converted into a National bank and
is now known as the Garrett National
Bank of Oakland, with a paid-up
capital of $4,000 and surplus of
$4,000.
The change in the system took
place Monday, the Goth inst, at
which time a savings feature was in
augurated, which is easy, compre-
hensive and practical and to those
who adopt it, it will prove that no
matter how small the income may be
something can be saved out of it.
With the plan men, women and chill
dren are enabled to save small change,
large change and bills at time when
it can be best spared. In the savings
department of the bank an account
may be opened with one dollar or an
amount larger, when the bank loans
the depositor one of it's little home
savings banks which is kept at home
and into which nickles, dimes and
coins of larger denomination are
dropped from time to time. About
once every go days the depositor
should take it to the bank and there
it is opened and the amount found
therein credited. The bank has gone
to very large expense in establish
ing this feature and it is done in order
to take care of the small savings of
all the people.
By the conversion of the bank into
the National system, bank notes must
necessarily be printed and put into
circulation. The plates are now be-
ing made from which the bills are to
be printed and within a month the
currency will be in circulation.
Another very important matter is
being held under advisement by the
erection of new front to the bank
ing house which will carry it to the
building line on the street and thus
give an additional space of eight feet
to the banking room. If the contem-
plated improvement is made the new
front will be modern in every respect
and tend to give the building an i'm
posing appearance. With this accom-
plished and the new building of the
First National completed Oakland
will have two of the finest equipped
and handsomest bank buildings in the
State.
The reserve agents for the Garrett
National as selected Tuesday by the
comptroller of the currency are: Han
over National Bank of New York
First National Bank of Pittsburg;
Merchants National Bank of Balti-
more, and the National Exchange
Bank of Baltimore.

In our last issue a statement was
made that owing to the prevalence of
diphtheria in the vicinity of Hoyes
the Flatwoods school had been closed.
Instead, however, the Hartman school
is the one affected.
No new cases of the disease have
developed in that section and those
affected are recovering slowly.

killed by west bound train. His re-
mains were taken to Newburg where
they were prepared for burial and
shipped to Oakland last night on

PAIN a STRANGER TO HIM.
Cincinnati Man Whistlcd While His
Toes We're Being Cut or.

Toes We're Being Cut on.
Filled to the brim with true Irish wit
and with a heart wholly impervious to
care, Thomas Tracy Of Cincinnati, O.,
left the City hospital the other day to
go forth ana hustle for a livelihood I'M
til fate ordains his return to the insti-
tuition, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Many times has Tracy been in the
hospital and many times have the doc
tors marveled at his fortitude. Pain to
him seems a stranger and suffering but
a nightmare. The last time Tracy
came to the hospital a wagon wheel
had run over his right foot. MASKING
his toes to a pulp. Amputation was
necessary, and Tracy scoifed at the
idea of taking an annsthetic. Instead
Of groans he gave voice to laughter as
the doctors piled their knives to his
flesh, whistling a tune as one after an
other his toes dropped into the basket
until the last one was gone.
There's many a kick left in that old
foot yet" he said to the doctors. May
be some day l will come in and have
the other foot trimmed up a little SO
they will look more like mates"
Then Tracy was rolled away to a
ward to wait until the next day, when
it was decided that he was we'll enough
to go home.

A Big Colonization scheme.

Announcement was recently made in
London of a big colonization scheme
for the development Of South Africa.
One of the chief promoters is General
Botha. The plan embraces the forma-
ton Of n land bank with a capital Of
$1O,OOO,OOO, says the New York Com
mercial Advertiser. 1t is said that the
company will start with the control Of
100000 acres of land. The British gov
eminent is said not to look too kindly
on the scheme regarding it as a pos
sible attempt on the part of the shrewd
Beers to gain political advantage for
the Dutch. This suspicion has been in
creased by the recent revival of the
Bond influence in Cape Town.

usually go when you search for them
this is a pretty good price, but arctic
fox feas can't be picked from any old

In Dollar q Scalp Bounty.
The county commissioners Of Lane
county, Kan, have stopped paying
bounties OH wolf scalps pending the
investigation of a story that a wolf
breeding ranch has been established in
the northern part of the county. says a
Dighton dispatch to the Kansas City
Star. With the price Of scalps at a
dollar each, the business of raising
wolves pays better than many of the
industries in this part Of the state.
1t is reported at Dighton that several
OF the ranchmen in the northern part
Of the county have established a breed
ing place for the animals in some Of
the canyons along Walnut creek. A
surprisingly large number of pelts have
been brought in from that part Of the
county, and an investigation will be
made.

The President Caught Him.

1t is said OH excellent authority that
every morning President Roosevelt aft
err glancing through several New York
papers looks e the headlines of a
large stack Of western publications,
says the New York Tribune. The sur
prising part Of this feat is that the
president never appears to miss any
thing of Importance and never forgets
what he reads nor where he saw it.
When he was in the far west he was
looking over an eastern newspaper Of
rather ancient vintage when he was
heard to utter a somewhat explosive
ejaculation. Turning to one Of the
newspaper men present, he said, "Do
you know BlankT" On receiving an
affirmative reply lie said: We'll, Blank
Is a fool. l had a little confidential
talk with him about six weeks ago.
He knew l didn't want him to publish
what l said, but now because I ANA
couple of thousand miles west and he
imagines / do not see his paper he has
put it all in print. The next time
Blank gets any tips from the White
House he'll be Il much older nan than
he is today" When the president got
back Blank called at the White House,
as usual, but he didn't get an audience.

Another Room launched

lSecretary Schultz Of the Milwaukee
health department is framing an ordi-
nance creating a legal standard for he
food used in boarding houses and hotels.]
AT last the boarding house brigade has
found a candidate.
The man of destiny is here; we see the
hand of fate.
No more the custard cup shall be a puzzle
to our spoons;
NO more the famished boarders shall be
forced to feed on prunes,
And every boarder in the land arises and
salutes
And cheers the name and sounds the fame
of Secretary Schultz.
Here is a man at last who knows his
country's pressing need.
Who knows the legions now compelled on
doubtful stuff to feed,
Who knows the way the butter stands
defiant on the plate
And how the coffee is too weak it's steam
to radiate;
He knows the s~econdhanded pies and
plaster paris fruits.
Each boarding place will boom the race
of Secretary Schultz.
Hurrah, for now, at last. the man who
boards shall get a steak
That is not adamantine stuff, too stiff to
bend or break,
And all the secret, hidden things shall
swiftly go to smash;
Well know exactly what is put into the
dish of hash.
Each boarder says this is the man who all
requirements suits
And makes a note that he will vote for
Secretary Schultz.
The leather covered griddlecake must fly
to other scenes,
For Secretary Schultz is apt to say just
what he means.
So up from all the boarding houses now a
cheer is wildly blent,
A cheer that means that here's the man
to run for president.
Star boarders n d~elinquents are pre-
pared to bet their boots
That every voice will cheer the choice Of
Secretary Schultz.

City Building Concrete Sewer.

DEBORAH has had few if any city
councils which have done as much per-
manent improving about the city as the
present one. During the past two
years they have been constantly at
work on some kind of public work
that would be permanent, and while
they have expended good deal of
money, it has been devoted to work
that was absolutely necessary and that
will be lasting. All agree that the
bridge work done by them is of the
very best, and there has been much
more deserving of compliment, includ-
ing the immense concrete abntment
at the Main street bridge, the paving of
Washington street. etc.
They have now begun work on a
concrete sewer on Washington street,
running from the south side of Broad
way to Dry Run. The purpose of this
sewer is to carry into the creek the
surface water from the street, through
mani Dles. The sewer will be three
feet wide and three feet eight inches
high, with arched top. When in place
it is expected that it will take care OF
the water which will run down Wash
ington street.
