The state police and the local officers
have questioned every one In town who
would be likely TO throw any light on the
case. but little important information
has been obtained.
Theories are numerous but none OF the
officers on the case has as yet fixed upon
satisfactory motive. The rain OF yester-
day retarded the police to some extent
especially In making a thorough examina-
ton OF the Page premises.
The weather was fine today and many
people came here to see the Page place

His findings have been sent TO the dis
trict attorney.
The state police were on the scene
early today and Immediately instituted
a rigid investigation. Mr.. Page. who
discovered the body of his daughter. could
afford the police but little basis upon
which to found a theory. However. what
little the officials have in the way OF
theory may be summed up as follows:
The police suggest that some man ac-
qainted with the family called at the
house and told Miss Page that her broth
er had ben injured In Boston At his
suggestion she wrote the note to her
father, which she left on a table. and
then. after putting on her hat. went up
stairs TO change her skirt.
Creeping after her went the murderer
and as he entered her bedroom he stabbed
her in the back. Turning. she clutched at
the weapon, but the man wrenched II
away, and plunged Il first deep into the
abdomen. and then before she fell drove
the blade into her heart. II isl likely

BANK FIGURES

|$157,e13.03, the Tyler County
bank comes in second with a gain
of ST., SO4.63, the Farmers & Pro-
ducers' third with gain of $780,
563.15 and the First National
last with gain of $15, 447.11.
These figures show beyond ques-
ton all the banks are solid, gain
ing steadily, and that a fourth
bank has not shut up any other
bank, but, on the contrary, all OF
the banks have made substantial
increases. That is exactly what
The Review predicted. There has
been more hustling for business,
the competition has been keen
and active, but for the most part
in good humor, and the final re-
suit of a years work shows each
bank made gains in its total re-
sources.
The individual deposits for 1904
in the four banks aggregate the
sum of $7O9,793.S3. On June 9,
1903, the total deposits were
$645, 110.62. The increase over last
year was $64,6o3.21.
The Tyler County bank increas-
ed, including its saving account,
from 1904, S2S.S6, in 1903, to $751;
954 40 in 1904.
The Peoples increased from
$171.542.6S in 1903 to $500, 34l.o3
in 1904.
The Farmers & Producers de-
creased from 1903, when it had
$1O6,479.1S, to $97, 313.14 in 1904:
The First National decreased
from $162, 259.90 in 1903, to $l44,-
1874. 46 in 1904.
The time certificates, which
means the amount OF money de-
posted for six months or one year,
and for which all the banks pay
40 interest, in 1903 aggregated the
sum of $724,32O.72, and in 1904
it had increased to 929,7ll.46-
an increase of over 100000. The
total increase for the year OF the
amounts of the deposits and mon
ey loaned to the banks shows an
increase of nearly half a million
dollars.
Taking the round numbers only
the TYLER increased from $273,0OO
to 100000. The First National
from $223,OOO to $254,OOO. The
Peoples increased from $4,000
in 1908 to $22S,000 in 1904, and
the Farmers & Producers increas-
ed from 100000 to $4,000.
We challenge any city on earth
the size of Sistersville to show
better bank totals.

Steamer Barnsdan Sinks.

Yesterday morning the steamer
Barnsdall, running in the Mari

in the Ohio, opposite Waverly,
through having been snagged.
The low stage saved her from
being completely emerged, but
she sank only to the first deck.
The boat was insured, and when
an adjustment of loss has been
made she will be taken to the
Parkersburg docks for repairs. In
the meantime the steamer French,
which was forced to abandon the
Creston trade, has been chartered
in her trade.

The statements of three Ma

this city called June 9 of this and
on the same date last year show
some interesting totals. AS a
whole the total resources OF the
four banks show from June 8,
1903, to June 8, 1904, an increase
of $275,427.92, or considerable
over a quarter of a million dollars
in twelve months time. The total
resources of the four banks on

These figures are interesting
from another standpoint. 1t will
be>recalled when the Peoples Ma
tional bank was started in Janu-
airy, 1903, it was predicted among
other things that the Farmers &
Producers bank would 60 up
the fume, the Tyler County bank
would lose heavily, and there
would soon be only two banks
here-the Peoples and the First
National. The comparisons above
made from the printed reports OF
these four banks shows in the year
the Peoples have made by far the
