Waiiie Sharp Has Piled Up $4,000 in
Twelve Years.

Howard, S. D., July 15.-Wallic
Sharp, of Forestburg, who owned and
operated an elevator here, has disposed,
of the same to the Canton Elevator
company. MI. Sharp is one Of the
wealthy working men of the state.
Raised in Sanborn county he has
grown to manhood and still resides
there. During the hardest of times he
settled at Forestburg n began to
raise cattle n buy a little of the
grain offered there. Then he picked up
an elevator at Roswell, then one at
Howard and Artesian. He is probably
the richest MAJ in the state that works
for $25 per month. When the railway
company opened the depot at that
place they induced Mr.. Sharp to be-
come their agent, which capacity he
had filled before. He has made his
money by foresight and industry,
where not one man in a thousand
would have seen an opportunity. For
tune knocks at every mans door once
in q lifetime, it's said, and Mr.. Sharp
got a tail hold, hung on and is pretty
comfortably fixed ir his worlds goods
at the present time. It is estimated
that he is worth 100000. What other
man i'll the state can show a like
amount in twelve years work without
bond or stock speculation?

ST. sERAPH1N OF sARoFF.
Russia's New Saint and the Ceremonies
at His Canonization.

at His Canonization.
From the London Times.
A most profound impression upon the
Russian people is said to have been pro-
duced by the participation Of the car and
grand dukes in the stately removal Of the
relics Of st. Seraphin from their temporary
resting place in one of the churches Of the
monastery to the new marble tomb in
which they are now permanently enshrined
in the Uspensky Cathedral at Saroff. His
majesty and his imperial relatives all as
sisted In carrying the cedar wood coffin
through the vast crowd of kneeling and
ecstatic worshipers, and they formed the
central group at all the elaborate services,
and in the professions Of gorgeously appar-
eled clergy and choristers outside the
churches. The rich vestmentS, covered with
gold and silver embroidery, which were
worn by the metropolitan of st. Petersburg,
the bishops and other priestly dignitaries
present. were the gift of the car for this
particular occasion.
The newly created saint was a merchant
son from Kursk, who died some thirty
years ago. after having led the austere
life Of a religious recluse at Saroff. Be-
sides ready help given to human kind, ira
dition says that he used to feed the bears

of which his remains have just been sane

Enormous crowds Of pilgrims, cripples
and sick folk f1ocked to the monastery for
this event from all parts of the empire

TWO KINDS OF F1NANc1ER1Na.
The Scheme Of Bank Clerk and That
Of the Bank Directors.

Aue Scueme Oh BANK CLERK and That
Of the Bank Directors.
From the New York Sun.
II saw man on the street the other day
who got away with one of the simplest
bank frauds 1 ever heard Of" said a bank
inspector who was In New York last week
on his regular tour of duty. This man was
employed in a bank in a city up state.
1t turned out when the bank closed its
doors that it had been run very loosely,
but that had nothing in particular to do
with this mans operations. He was
clerk in the bank and made up the quar-
terly interest account
This was sheet showing what was due
each depoSitor for interest. 1t generally
ran to three four sheets. and the footing
Of each had to be carried to the top of the
next one. Well, about the third sheet the
clerk would enter the footing properly, then
let a drop of ink fall on the first column
Of the figures. He would let 1t dry there,
thus obscuring the footing of the sheet.
I'm carrying over to the next sheet the
footing that was blotted he would add
81 600, so that the total of the report would
show $1,000 more chargeable to interest
than actually was a charge against the
bank. He'd let this report go to the d.
rectors of the bank. With the idea that II
the error was detected he would account
for it by the blot, saying he had made a
natural mistake. When the sheet went
through unquestfoned he proceeded to get
possession of the LOCO by opening an ac-
count in the name Of a fictitious person
and crediting this account with 81. 600 The
banks accounts were thus forced to a bali
ance.
"Then by drawing checks on the account
Of the fictitious depositor he would draw
the money out. When we nabbed him he
made a confession. He had been stealing
about $4,000 a year in this way. That was
the bank" continued the inspector, "wheres
when the directors found the hole in the
bottom, they fitted up presidents office In
magnificent style. went out and got an
ambitious millionaire, showed him the of>
Ace. asked him If he wouldn't like to be
president and then sold him their stock at
