YOUNGSTERS AS BANKERS
A Plan for Saving Money That Prom
Uses Much for Our Boys
and Girls.

The little savings banks that are be-
ing. placed in homes by many of the
savings institutions of the country are
not only accommodating fortunes for the
but are educating young and
old to the virtues of saving money.
The. saving habit is soon acquire ed by
having one of the little banks in the
home, ready to receive deposits every
hour in the day, and the results are
really surprising. The nickels and
dimes grow into dollars so fast, that
people find more pleasure in saving than
in spending their money. Sixtyfve
thousand Of these banks have been
placed in Chicago by one savings in
stitution during the past three years
and the returns from them have run
well up into millions.
The State Institution for Savings of
this city has placed nearly five thousand
of its banks in Minneapolis homes in
the past eight months and is adding
rapidly to the numb er. One dollar
opens an account and secures a bank,
and there is probably no other way in
the world to make a dollar do more for
family or an individual. Call and get

SOMEBODY'S Fatal, ERROR
The Coroner Promises Vigorous Investi
ton Of Kurilla's Death.

Investigations by Coroner U. G.. Will
Jams into the circumstances surrounding
the death Of John Kurilla, who was
killed last Saturday while working in a
sewer ditch in Northeast Minneapolis,
may result in one or more arrests for
criminal negligence. Several Of the
man g friends affirm that the place was
known to be unsafe before the man be-
gan his work there.
Kurilla, with a gang of laborers, was
excavating for sewerpipe at Universe
ty avenue NE and Twenty-third avenue,
and the ditch was nearly twenty feet
deep. It was boarded up, apparently in
the usual manner, but while he was on
his knees, a mass Of earth and rocks
near the top broke in the boards and
came down upon him. He was rescued
alive by his fellow workmen, but was
SO badly crushed that he died that even
ing i'll the city hospital.
When Coroner Williams was sum-
moned he was told that the curbing had
not been put in according to the general
rule and was unsafe from the start. His
personal investigation corroborate0 this
and he is now looking FOR the persons
responsible for the conditions. The
boards he says were loosely put in and
had the construction been inspected be-
fore the men were allowed to go to
work, the accident never would have
happened. The case will be thoroly
sifted, end it is probable that some one
will answer for careless work.

BOARDS.

Somnambulism got Con Kirkland, a
transient laborer, into trouble.
He was in police court this morning
charged with stealing coat and vest
from Robert Brown, another transient,
at the Union City mission. Kirkland
protested that he knew nothing about
the coat and vest, altho it was found on
his bed, and as the state could prove
no intention to steal, he was dismissed.
Brown and kirkland occupied adj

retired first, placing his coat and vest
under his pillow. He was awakened

Kirkland had taken his coat and vest.
He went to Kirkland's bed and there
was the coat and vest lying in plain

Kirkland was arrested.
