Broom Conn Harvest Reaun.

Charleston, ILL.,, Broom corn har-
vest began here Thursday. The acre
age in the Central Illinois district is
less than one-half of last years, and,
the season being late, the quality will
be poor. Careful estimates by growers
indicate that the entire crop of the
country will be 10000 tons short OF the
annual consumption. AS only about
1900 tons OF old brush are being car
ried over, the growers of this years
crop expect to realize fancy price.
Old brush Is selling now at $40 to $50
ton, but there are those who conf
IDENTIFY expect that 5000 will be paid
before the crop OF 1904 is ready for
the market.

state convention was called to order
at s o'clock Tuesday evening by Chair
man w. r. Weber OF the state central
committee. Ex-Gov. Poynter nominal
ed Judge Parsons of North Platte for
temporary chairman and he was elect
ed. On taking the chair Judge Parsons

ton at once proceeded TO the nomin-
alton of a ticket. T. H. Tibbles NOM

chief justice of the supreme court, for
the office of supreme judge, and he

Assassin's Bullet Missed Vice Consul.
London: A dispatch of Fridays
date from Constantinople says that
Mr.. Magelssen, the American Vice
Consul at Beirut. was not assassinated.
The report that he had been murdered
was due to a mistake in a telegram.
An attempt was, however, made on his
life by an individual, who has not
been arrested and whose identity is
unknown. This man fired q shot at
him and just missed hitting him. The
vail of Beirut has just called upon Mr..
Ravndal, the American Consul, and
expressed regret for the occurrence.
The vail has ordered that measures be
taken to discover and arrest Mr.. Ma
gelssen's assailant 1t is stated that
the PRECEDENT will not countermand
the order to Rear Admiral Cotton to
proceed with the cruisers Brooklyn,
and San Francisco and the gunboat
Machias to Turkish water, because
the attack on Mr. Magelssen is re-
garded as an incident which points to
the necessity of a demonstration
which will have the efTect of insuring
the protection of Americans in the
| Turkish empire.

but not ingloriously, by the unap-
proachable Yankee yacht The time
of the defeat might have been reduced

minute and tifty-seven seconds TO

notwithstanding that the breeze was
varying from only six to twelve miles,

(3;14:54) was one minute and thirty

OPENS A SAVINGS DEPARTMENT.
The Yakima Valley Bank Adds a New Depart
ment TO Its Banking Business

The savings department of the Yak
ina Valley Bank is now open for bust
ness and deposits will be received from
one dollar up, interest at the rate of 4
per cent per annum.
Accrued interest will be placed to the
credit OF depositors semi-annually on the
first days of March and September, and
if not drawn out will be added to the
principal and draw interest from the
date credited.
Pass books and deposit slips will be
furnished all depositors free Of cost, and
the business transacted Just the same as
general banking business.
The advantages of this system are
manifold. 1t stimulates the principles
OF saving and inspires all depositors
with the desire to lay away something
for future use. 1t is of inestimable
value to the young people for the reason
that the system adopted by this bank
enables them to become acquainted
with the methods of banking, familiar
with the banks and accustomed to the
line Of business usually transacted there
which is very essential to their business
education.
Their accounts will be handled just
/
or stock men, and they will always be
welcome at our bank, the only restric-
ton being that their deposits must not
be less than one dollar.
The Yakima Valley Bank is owned by
Yakima people, and is responsible to the
depositors TO the extent OF tl50,000.
The funds Of this bank are protected by
a modern Manganese burglar proof safe.
1t transacts general banking business
and sollcits the accounts OF farmers,
merchants and stockmen and is always
ready to extend such accommodations to
its patrons as may be consistent with
the proper management OF a conserva-
tive banking institution.
Out OF town deposits may be RENTED
by checks, postoffice orders or registered
letter. Very respectfully,
l6-lt MILES CANNON, President.
