 Car Fare with $5 Bill.
 A woman botrded an uptown Third avenue surfact car the other day, rendered the conductor a five-dollar bill and received in change four silver dollars and handful of small change. She looked at the silver, then cast a reproachful glance at the conductor, who was making his way toward the door,
 After handling the money for some time longer, and giving expression to her views on the inconvenience of sill yer, she turned around to the passen- ger sitting next to her-a well-dressed man. reading newspaper-and said:
 Would you mind kindly giving me bills for these silver dollars"
 Not at all, madam" replied the man. taking roll of bills from his pocket and handing her four single dollar bills, which she folded up and put away in her pocketbook. She was still jingling the small change in her hand. and the conductor passed she asked:
 Conductor will you let me have a dollar bill for this change"
 Certainly" said the conductor. talk Ing a bill from his pocket and handing 1t to her, in return for which she hand ed him the ninety-five cents.
 Beg pardon, but there's only ninety five cents here," he said, as he counted over the change.
 "Yes, you know gave you five cents before," was her rejoinder.
 That's all right, but l need five cents more to make up the dollar" in sisted the conductor.
 Don't you see," persisted the wom an, "the ninety cents and the five gave you before make one dollar"
 That nickel you gave me was foi your fare, madam" said the conductor
 "Yes, and that with what I've given you now make up the dollar" insisted the woman.
 Emptying the change in her lap and picking up his dollar, the conductor went forward to collect other fares Turning to the obliging passenger next to her again, she said:
 "I don't like to trouble you toe much, but could you give me one dol lar for this change"

WOMAN OF FORTY IS A POWER.
At That Mature Age She hould Be tn e Happiest of Human Beings.

The object In womans career should be to be beautiful till she is 40; after that she should become a power, is the way a Frenchman sees the question. Another Frenchman said that after 40 woman should either take the veil or be abolished. Miss Achurch, an actress. featuring on the subject, inclined to the former view. She said: "The woman who has passed the confines of youth has come to be regarded as of much greater impor tance than she was twenty years ago. This change can be seen in words and in life. From the period of Fielding to that of Thackeray the girl of 17 was always the center of attraction and she always disappeared after her wedding day. After Thackeray came the long inning of the woman of 30."
 The woman of 40 ought to be the happiest of women. She has peculiar privileges possessed by no other wom- an. She is not troubled like her young CT sisters at the crossing of the bor- derland of youth, for she is already on the other side. Her future is more clearly defined, for at 40 has she not chosen and settled down in her career
 A professional woman is at her best at 40. She can act better, paint bet ter, write better, not only because her powers are more matured. but also be- cause she will not be interrupted by love affairs. The age of 40 should be looked forward to as an inheritance rather than be dreaded by every woman.

Little Things. Little drops of water,
 Little grains of sand, Make the mighty ocean And the beauteous land. And the little moments, Humble though they be, Make the mighty ages Of eternity.
 Little deeds of kindness, Little words of love, Make our earth an Eden Like the heaven above. So our little errors
 Lead the soul astray, From the path of virtue Into sin to stray. Little seeds of mercy, Sown by useful hands, Grow to bless the nations Far In heather lands.

MORE BANKS FAIL.
The Crash at Beaumont, Texas, caus.

Beaumont, Tex, Aug. 21.-Rod oliver
president of the failed Citizens Ma

Interested, to close their doors and do
no further business until the affairs of
the bank are here Strengthened out.
These banks are located at Groesbeck,
Hubbard City, Frost and Thornton, and
all of them are involved in the way of
oyerdrafts against the Citizens. 1t is
not possible TO learn whether they are
involved, aside from these overdrafts,
but 1t is suspected that their funds ara
low, as Oliver has been plunger, and
has been investing large amount Of
money in oil, cattle and cotton seed oil
mills lately.
w. T. Campbell, one of the directors
of the Citizens said last night that the
failure here was directly caused by the
support which had been given these
other banks at the instance of Oliver.
Oliver himself is sick in bed, and the
house is guarded to prevent the en-
trance of anyone save the most inti-
mate friends and business associates.
The people of Hubbard City and

known, are dazed by the sudden closing

CAR TO GO 100 MILES AN HOUR
Plan of the Aurora, EIsin and Chicago
Third Rail Line.

Chicago, Aug 21.-One hundred miles
an hour is the speed which the Aurora
Elgin and Chicago Electric Railroad
company expects to make this fall in
test run to be made with specially
geared car. The trial run is to be made
at the request of the General Electric
company which will supply the motof
car for the occasion. The result of the
test is counted upon to demonstrate. az
never before. the possibilities of electric
railroad traffic.
Since the Aurora. E;lgin and Chicago
line has been in operation its running
schedule has attracted the widest at
tention among electricians and railroad
men generally. Scarcely day passeS
that the regular trains fail to attain q
speed of sixty miles an hour. Many
times the cars have been run at speed
.of seventy miles an hour, yet this high
rate of loconlotion has been scarcely
noticeable to the patrons of the road
because of the nearly perfect equipment
of the line.
The speed test to be conducted this
fall is expected to establish a new
worlds record for railroad in practi-
cal operation. To achieve the speed of
100 miles an hour a car equipped with
a special gear will have to be manu-
factured The construction of this car
is now under way and will be COM
pleted at an early date. In appearance
the car will be no different from the
cars now running over the line.

they are located, and the blow will be
a hard one, as 1t falls on business men
and farmers alike at a time when ready
money is absolutely essential for the
conduct of business.
No figures are obtainable, but the de-
posits of the Groesheck bank exceed
100000, and the other banks are To-
Gated in towns having a business as
large as that of Groesbeck. The for
tune of oliver is estimated at half
million, most of it represented in bank
and bank stocks. He has partners in
each of the four banks named above,
and these men We're all caught without
any sort of warning. Examiner Logan
does not believe that hes is called upon
to take charge of the other banks, ani
is awaiting orders from Washington as
to what is to be done about them.
Other Beaumont Banks Safe.
The failures had no effect upon the
other Beaumont banks, all being open
for business today as usual. Local
merchants. as a rule, had no accounts
with the Citizens National, but the
savings of many poor people are lost
in the failure. The examination MADE
by Examiner Logan and the committee
of the Clearing House Association
showed losses in the accounts OF the
Citizens National estimated at S229,ooo
and doubtful items amounting to Si9,-
600. This wipes ont the capital stock
of 100000 and about SlSO.OOO addition-

SULLIVAN GUILTY
First Trial of the Missouri 5oodlers
Results in a conviction-others to
Be Tried Soon.

Jefferson city. Mo. Aug. 21.-Stats
Senator William p. sullivan, accused
of soliciting a bribe for three votes
on the anti-a alum bill during Vhe ses-
sion of the legislature last winter, was
found guilty by q jury here this after
noon and his punishment fixed at Slop
fine. While this is the maximum for
the offense, the penalty could have
carried two months in jail sentence,
The prosecution is satisfied. 1t has
driven in the entering wedge and thf
solid legislative ring is broken. From
this time on the fight against cor
ruption viii be unremitting.
In this particular case tile moral
conviction was sought and has been
secured upon evidence the defense
scoffed at and pretended to believe
could not be broken down chiefly by in
fluence.
The attitude of the defense was In
dicated by the statement of c. j. Ware,
speaking for Sullivan, who declared
that Whitney Layton, the baking
powder lobbyist, had bought the Ar
kansas legislature, and when he came
here with $4,000 in his pocket that fact
was prima facie evidence that he meant
to try to corrupt the senator's. Vim
dictiveness, he declared, had caused
Layton to appear on the stand againsl
Sullivan.
The other legislators under indict-
ment are more than uneasy and view
the situation more seriously than they
did heretofore.
Several more bribery cases are ye
to be tried.
The next batch will begin on Mon
day next, commencing with the cas.
of Senator Frank F'arris.
Politically, the jury was evenly di~
vided, there being six republicans an"l
six democrats. When the verdict WAS
read it was not in due form, stating
that the punishment be assessed az
s1O0" The defense made no objec-
ton to its being corrected. and it WAS
made to read that the punishment
assessed be fine Of $100."
