The music of STANCE and Edwards
new patriotic comic opera when

will be presented at the Opera House.
Tuesday, April 10, by the Whitney

the songs that have established them
selves as prime, popular favorites are.

CITIZENS SAVINGS BANK
 AND TRUST COMPANY.

We call special attention to the state ment in todays issue of the Citizen S Savings Bank and Trust company, No. 2oos First avenue, adjoining the Alabama National bank.
 The Citizens Savings Bank and Trust company opened up on the first of last month. Their statement shows a thirty days savings bank business. The public must appreciate the strong showing when they take into consideration that the de- posits as shown are made up of several hundred savings accounts.
 This is the only exclusive savings bank in the city, and they accept no commer- cial business They regard the borrowing public as their customers, as their busi- ness will be done on strictly a collateral basis, first mortgage loans, realty etc., which is a guarantee to the depositors of absolute safety under any and all cond- tions, as we all know that the strength of a bank is Its individual loans."
 The same management that has made the Alabama National bank a success are the managers of the Citizens Savings Bank and Trust company. The officers of the Citizens Savings Bank and Trust company are follows: II. H. Mayberry, president B. F. Roden. vice-president; j.. B. Cohbs, treasurer, and C. G. Davidson, secretary.
 I as follows: J. R. Cobbs, president; H. H. Mayberry, e-president; w. A. Porter. cashier; c. M. Williamson, assistant cashier
 The management of the Citizens Saw ings Bank and Trust company is a guar antee to the public that its affairs will be safely managed, as the stockholders and management of this institution are not only largely interested in the banking business but they are also among the largest realty owners. in fact nearly their entire holdings are centered in this dis trict and they have lived here in ex- cess of twenty years.
 MT. H. H. Mayberry, president of this institution, was formerly president of the Mayberry Hardware company. which re- gently consolidated with the Gray X Dud- ley Hardware company. Every one throughout this district is familiar with the name Since his retirement from the hardware business, MT. Mayberry has been arranging so as to devote his en- tire time, with his associates, to the up- building of their banking interests. We

predict for them a steady growth, as we have long needed bank that devoted it. self exclusively to the savings bank ana trust business, as such a bank Is able to so place it's loans, as to make its posi- ton absolutely secure during the most congested finacial period.
 The officers and stockholders of the Alabama National bank contemplated for sometime opening up this savings bank, but delayed the matter from time to time until such state laws were passed as would give to the depositors in state bank the same protection as afforded them in the national bank. viz, the ad- vantage of an expert examiner, who would make regular examinations, and require published statements of the con- dition of the bank. Immediately this law was passed. they organized the Citi- zens Savings Bank and Trust company. However from the published statement today the Citizens Savings Bank and Trust company have shown that they did not await a call from the state exami- ner, but they published their statement on the day that call is made by either state or national examiner. This is certainly an up-to-date movement and convinces the public of their worth.
 The Citizens Savings Bank and Trust company pay per cent interest on all ac- counts, interest computed on the first of June and the first of December which is added to the deposits. unless customer desires 10 withdraw the interest They furnish their customers, free of charge. one of their little steel saving banks, which assist every individual in saving small amounts from time to time. The bank is operated on an economical basis; no high rents or large salaries are paid, as every one connected with the bank fully determined that the bank should be a success from the day it opened for busi- ness. and today's statement convinces the most skeptical of the present and future success of the bank.
 The directors are B. F. Roden, J. H. Robinson, C. o. Simpson, J. B. Cobbs, c. O. Burns of New York, and H. H. May berry. sss

asking his name told him that he was wanted at headquarters. President Eliot was escorted to the presence of the chief and then learned that he was desired at the telephone exhibit. On reaching that point the full nature of the errand was explained to him and he was soon placed in telephone communication with Har- yard university. What was done that day. probably for the first time has now become of common occurrence, and it frequently happens that telephone mes stages are sent broadcast to locate some man who is travelling from place to place.
 The early operation of the line to Chi eago afforded marked illustration of the happening of that which has pre- viously been demonstrated to be an i'm possibility. A distinguished English cleo trcian was among the visitors to the eX- position, and was given the courtesy of the line to Eoston, in order that he might experience tne unprecedented opportunity of srealSing over such a great distance. Ey one of the ieyenges of time, when this occur. ehce took place, the subject ct the conN ersation was the sale of book on electricity of which the visitor was the author, and in which he had con- chsively proved that it would never be possible to speak a distance of over 500 miles by the telephone.
 Pessimistic Philosophy has Precedent.
 Such peSSimlStlc prophecy IS not With out nuremous precedents, as one electri- clan of great ability lent the weight of his authority to the statement that cleo tricity for incandescent lighting could never be distributed from single central station over an area of more than quarter of a square mile. An earlier in stance is that of the great English phy- sicist who prophesied during the building of the first transatlantic steamboat that it would be impossible for d steamer to carry sufficient coal to cross the Atlantic and as a matter of fact, this man him self came from England to America as one of the passengers on the first trip of the steamer

Numerous Changes M; de.

In the quarter century whil' this ex- pansion has been taking place here have been numerous changes and improve ments in the apparatus. The first pur- pose and conception of a tell phone eX- change was merely to afford communca- ton between individuals in one village or town through a single switchboard, and it was Il coincidence that the maget switchboard in general use vas easily adapted to provide connections to switch boards in other towns. In certain DOT tions of the country, whera the Law switchboard was used, when he systems were extended to afford communication from town to town, 1t was necessary to build an addition of dlssimilar design to the switchboard. like the addition of store to a dwelling house. But such ex- pedients were known to ha temporary, and apparatus and methods were rapidly brought into harmony witl new condi- tions. So universal is long distance tele- phoning that 1t Is hard tc realize that 20 years ago it was practically unknown. Many business men talk d;ily with asso- ciates hundreds of miles tway, and one concern in an eastern cty uses every morning a line 15O0 miles. in length.

ABANDONS YOUNG WIFE
Cleo E. Barnhiu, Recently Employed
in Wheeler's Store Leaves for
Parts Unknown

Last Friday morning Cleo E. Barnhi
boarded the west bound train and left
for parts unknown, leaving young
wife in Wenatchee, to whom he had
been married less than a year, with a
baby about two weeks old. Mr.. Barn
hills home is in Wenatchee, where his
parents reside, and with whom his wife
was staying. For the past month he
has been in charge of a clothing store
at this place which belongs 10 J. L.
Wheeler Jr., of Wenatchee. He left
letter directed to his employer with
a statement and what money belonged to
him, in the store. Mr.. Wheeler found
his account all right and nothing miss
ing.
He also instructed Mr.. Wheeler to
pay any money coming to him on sal
airy to his wife and stated that he was
going away and was not coming back.
That it would be useless to try and find
him as he was going where he could
not be found. He also left letter ad-
dressed to his wife.
He told W C. Pendleton that he was
going away and would not come back
and gave him some instructions in re-
gard to turning the business and money
over to Mr.. Wheeler.
Mr.. Barnhil was married sometime
last October in Tacoma to very at
tractive and estimable young lady with
whom, however. he had only been &C.
quainted short time. He worked in
that city last summer and became ac-
quainted with her at that time.
Mr.. Barnhill was quite well known
here having worked in Mr.. Wheeler's
store off and on since the first of the
year, and in the spring, for a short
time, bis wife was here also. He was
of steady habits, sober and industrious,
and how to account for the unmanly
conduct OF abandoning his wife and
baby is somewhat of a mystery. So far
as the public knows his married life
was not unhappy, but the public does
not always know, and undoubtedly
some kind of family trouble is at the
bottom of his conduct.
The news of her sons conduct pros
trated his mother, and for time her
life was in danger. Mr.. Barnhill's wife
also suffered a nervous shock. Her
family live in Tacoma at present but
will leave soon for Missouri, their old
home.
On Tuesday night Mrs. Barnhill and
her baby were put On the train at We
she will join her family and accompa-
ny them to Missouri.

a school district and build school
