Financial.

The First National makes its usually
good showing, the salient feature being
the fact that it has more cash on hand
than any bank in the county-over l35
thousand dollars.
The Midland National, still young
institution, is rapidly approaching the
POO thousand dollar plane. Its steadily
growing business, manifested i'll its
statements, show good management.
Frostburg is well represented i'll its di-
rectorate, and then Lewis J. Ort,
cashier, is one of the most capable bank
officers in the county.
In addition to its statement the Fidel-
ity Savings Bank of Frostburg presents
the report of Committee of Stock
holders who have gone over the business
and find all its affairs i'll excellent shape.
Two provisions not generally known
mark the management of this institu-
tion-ND il thorough review every 30
DAYS of the business and condition of its
accounts, securities and cash, by dIrec-
tors, who are also deposturs, and CD the
same ordeal scmi-annually by Il COM
mittee of three or more stockholders.
The directory, therefore, is determined
that the operations of the bank shall he
carried Oh under the supervision of all
classes of its clientele, hence, cOnserva-
lively and safely.
The JOURNAL has not closely investi-
gated whether there is a bank i'll the
county whose stock is worth more than
- times par value, but that is the case
with the Homecoming Savings an III
sttution that has been Il continuous
success from the beginning. With ''in-
dividual deposits subject to check
amounting to over half million popu-
lar confidence i'll its stability cannot be
discounted.
There is one good thing to be said of
banks-there may be much rivalry
among them for growing business, b"t

DEMANDS BIG SUM.
W. M. CoweII Of This City Asks
$3.50, 900 Damages For
Criminal Libel.
CHICAGO ATTORNEYS SUED.

Attorney Walter M. Cowe11 of this
city who has recently been in the
lime light of the courts on account of
his alleged connection with the wild
scat''insurance companies has begun
a system of retaliation, and as result
of this action, suits have been filed by
him in the superior court of Cook
county claiming damages for ma1ici-
Gus prosecution, blackmai1 and
criminal libel to the amount of
$150,0OO. Further the Kenosha man
states that this is only the beginning
of the campaign against the men
who have prosecuted him and that he
has now in preparation another batch
of suits. It is claimed that the total
amounts of the suits will be over half
a million of dollars.
The first series of suits, known as
"Series AZ we're filed on last Satur-
day, and the defendants named were
Stah1 & Sewall, Ains1ey, Hitz and
others, all well known attorneys of
the city of Chicago.
CoWell Claims that all charges
against him in the federal courts and
in the circuit courts have been dis
missed, and that the men who caused
his arrest failed to appear at the
time for the prosecutions of the ac-
tions. He alleges that the actions
were brought without any foundation
in fact, and insists that his arrest has
been great detriment to him.
Cowel1 is. a fighter from the word
go, and he claims that he will be able
to make good his demands for dam
ages. In the meantime the hearing
of the eases of the other insurance
men continues to take up the interest
of the Chicago courts. Cowe11 claims
that his suits we're brought at the sug-
gestion of the states attorney of Cook
county,

along Pleasant street to the south
limits Of the city.
Also beginning at the west limits of
the city at the intersection Of Charles
and Park streets and easter1y along
Park street to Maiden Lane.
In regard to the construction of the
road, the ordinance gives the COM
pany the right to put up cedar poles,
to be arranged in such way that they
shall not interfere with the poles now
in use by the city or any private COM
pany.. The ordinance provides that
two miles of track, that named in the
original right Of way, shall be COM
p1eted within eighteen months, and
the company shall have the right to
take FIVE years for the completion Of
the other portions Of the line. At the
end of five years all franchise to
streets not occupied by tracks shall
cease and determine.
The ordinance specifies that the
company shall have the right to carry
passengers, packages, express and
United States mail, and that the fare
charged for trip over the entire line,
including transfers, shall not be in
excess of 5 cents. No provision is
made for half fares or Communication
tickets.
The ordinance provides that the
company shall run one car an hour
over the entire route, and that in case
the operation of cars is suspended for
thirty days, when in the power of the
company to operate the line, the
rights granted shall cease and deter
mine at once.
Of what is offered to the city there
is little to be said. The company
promises that it will bear it's share of
the expense of building roadways on
the streets occupied by the tracks of
the company. It agrees to pave, I'M
der the orders of the city, sixteen feet
where double tracks arelaid, and seven
feet where single tracks are laid, but
it expressly states that the company
shall not be asked to pay anything
for curbing streets, nor shall it be

time as this work is ordered by the
city for the entire street.
Of course the franchise contains
the usual clause in regard to bond
to prevent loss to the city from acct
dents during construction.
The franchise did not create much
of sensation with the council, and
there was little argument over the
question. The ordinance and appli
cation were ordered published at the
expense of the promoters, and the
people will have full chance to pro-
test against the passage of all or any
part of it. The ordinance will have
its first reading at the next meeting
of the council.

The old soldiers Of Kenosha county
who ave been filing claims for land
Id tf1S Red Lake Reservation will be
interested in the following letter
which has been sent out from Wash
ington in regard to the workings of
certain land agents in this section of
the state. It is addressed to the d. J.
Morey Company of Racine and Keno
sha and is as follows:
Washington, D. c., Dec. is, 1904.
Messrs, D. ]. Morey & Sons.
Gentlemen:-I am in receipt of your
letter of Nov. %, 1904, in which you
state that you are informed that old
soldiers may make entry on the lands
located in northern Minnesota, and
may prove up their claims by doing
certain labor thereon for a period of
five years without residence; also that
the actual service performed by the
soldier will be credited upon this five
year term of residence.
In reply you are advised that the
advantage is granted a soldier of the
war of the rebellion who makes a
homestead entry that he may receive
credit for the term of his military
service, not exceeding four years in
lieu Of residence thereon, and he may
file his declaratory statement by an
agent, but he must make the entry in
person and must reside upon the land
at least one year, whatever may have
been the term of his military service,
and he is not relieved of any pay
ments which under the law are re-
quired Of other entrymen. The sol.
der may make entry of any vacant
public lands, but there is no land set
apart especially for entry by the sol
der. Very respectfully,
.se J. H. Fimp1e,

Patrick F. Haynes, Of Chicago,
Starts a New Suit to Col
Iect on Old Bonds.
SAYS GOODS WERE DELIVERED
Work Done for Famous Doodle Fran
chise Forms the Basis for Suit
for $4,000 Against the Kenosha
Street Railway Company.

Patrick F. Haynes of Chicago who
associated with Gustav L. Claussen
promoted the first railway franchise
ordinance through the city council of
Kenosha has started a suit in the
United States circuit court at Mi1wau-
kee demanding the sum of thirty
thousand dollars. Bion J. Arnold and
pany are named as defendants in the
suit and an effort is now being made
to get service on the different
officials and employees of the COM
pany. The suit is slated to come up
the second Monday in January and
Haynes expects to win great victory
over the local company.
The suit is brought for the purpose
of collecting the face value of thirty
bonds issued by the Kenosha Street
Railway company to Messrs. Haynes
and C1aussen iii return for the work
which was done by them in securing
the passage Of the franchise ordinance
by the Kenosha city counciL 1t is
alleged by Haynes that this was the
stipulated price for the franchise and
as soon as>the Kenosha Railway COM
pany was organized the bonds we're
issued to the promoters. Later the
supreme court declared the franchise
ordinance invalid and Mr.. Arnold and
once organized a new company known
as "The Kenosha Electric Railway
Company" All the bonds of the old
company were declared null and void
and new bonds were issued under the
new corporate name. Since that
time Haynes and C1aussen have been
making efforts to collect the amounts
alleged to be due to them but they
have never managed to get the case
into the circuit nor supreme court.
The position taken by the managers
of the Kenosha company is that the
Chicago promoters sold them a
franchise which was worthless and
that for this reason the officials of the
company had repeatedly refused to
pay the alleged purchase price.
The franchise in question caused
no end of trouble in Kenosha and as
result of the scandal which attended
it's passage three Kenosha aldermen
were arrested on charge of accept
ing brides. A warrant is still in the
hands of the officials of the county for
the arrest of G. L. C1aussen, the Chi
cago man in connection with the
passage Of the ordinance.
Mr.. Haynes was in Kenosha yester-
day and in speaking of the suit he
said: "There is no way in the world
that the railway company can get out
of paying those bonds. They were is
sued in good faith and accepted by us
in good faith as payment for our work
and we are going to push this suit
until every cent is paid. Our demand
is $4,000 and we will not accept a
cent 1eSS.''

TO PROTECT FARMERS.
Brighton Star Creamery Files Bond
With the Register of Deeds.

w. M. and Martin Van Lier, the
operators of the Star Creamery of
Brighton, have taken an unusual
way to assure the patrons of that
creamery that they will secure the
pay for the delivery of milk to the
creamery, and this morning the pro-
prietors of the creamery filed with the
Register of Deeds bond for the sum
of 81, 500 which is filed for the pur-
pose of covering all accounts which
may exist between the creamery men
and the farmers. In connection with
the bond trust deed is filed by which
the property of the company is trans
TERED to Nicholas Arnold and he is
named as trustee to see that all the
demands of the bond are carried out.
For some time the farmers in the
town of Brighton have been selling
milk to creameries in other towns, as
by the failure of a former creamery
many OF them lost large sums of mon
ely. The idea of the Van Lier broth
ers IS new one, and it is more than
probable that the farmers in other
parts of the state will demand similar
bonds from other creameries.
