BRYAN'S VIEW.

Dallas, Tex, June 24.-On his
way TO Stephensville, Tex, yester-
day, William J Bryan was looking
at newspaper cartoon which

through the transparent coating.
Mr.. Bryan said to former Attor-
ncy General Charles X. Bell of
Texas:

OF the best I've seen yet. 1t does
appear that the friends of President
Roosevelt can do no wrong. | re-
greet from the bottom of my heart
that he has seen fit to apply the
whitcwash instead of permitting
the chips to fall where they will in
rough hewing to the right. In the
Loomis matter it looks as though
President Roosevelt regards it as
hcing worse to inform on wrong
than it is to commit a wrong.
Everyone can read Il picture,
and never was a question more
clearly depicted than in this car.

weakened public confidence in
himself and discouraged genuine

a couple of days ago, but which be-
came public tonigh, that w. d.

izen OF Mexico, whose name cannot

that Thomas might be located in
London, England. This letter, with
n photograph of Thomas, was sent

Louis, with instructions to com.

Three days ago a letter came

Washington making inquiry as to
whether one w. D. Thomas was
wanted here, information on thai
point having, been asked of the

government. A prompt reply was
sent that the right w. D. Thomas

DEPOSITORS ARE MAD.
Cashier Squanders sos 900 of q
Banks Money.

Clinton, Mo, June 27.-This
afternoon Henry county, through
Prosecuting Attorney Hinkle, filed
suit against Salmon & Salmon and
the secureties of Salmon & Sal.
mon upon the county depository
bonds, in the sum of 500, 900.
Writs Of attachment were issued
and leyied upon the bonds of all
the persons who signed the bonds.
The announcement that the total
amount of Cashier Casey's irregu-
larities amounted TO $9S, 900
caused a profound sensation, but
the facts cannot be disputed. Yes.
terduy Casey went over the copies
of the notes held by the Salmon &
Salmon bank and assisted Bank
Examiner Cook in picking out the
straw" notes, their total value
amounting to $98,O 900.
When the bank was sorely in
need of funds to tide over the cri-
sis in its affairs, Cashier Casey put
up these bogus notes with the gen.
uine ones in order to secure a
larger loan from the city banks.
The city banks will never loan the
full face value of notes, and in Or
der to realize as much as possible
on the genuine notes Casey put in
the bogus ones in order to swell
the total and thus secure a larger
amount of money than he would
have been able to secure on genu-
inc notes.
There has been considerable
talk of mob law" and" lynching"
but not enough to cause any I'M
easiness among the law abiding
people. However, in order to be
be prepared, should any emergen-
cy arise, Capt. Mckinley of the 10.
cal company telephoned to Sedalia
for ball cartridges. as the supply
here was completely exhausted.
Capt. Mckinley anticipated no
trouble, but did not want to be I'M
prepared in case the services of his
company should be needed. A few
extra deputies have been sworn in
TO guard Mr.. Casey at his home,
as he was under arrest and could
not be taken to the county jail.
The people as a whole are taking
the matter calmly, and are willing
to let the law take its course, sat
isfed that guilt will be punished
and the innocent acquitted. Rober
Cook, state bank examiner, de.
clined today to indicate the amour
of the straw notes, adding: How.
ever, l will say that the Kansar
City and st. Louis banks are still
amply secured. The Kansas Cit.
state bank holds 1907 900 worth o
securities of the Salmon bank
more than sufficient to cover tn
loans, even after the straw note
have been deducted from tina
amount"
