An order was signed by Judge H. M.
Towner. this week, granting the re-
ceiver of the Corning State Savings
bank to pay third dividend Of 10 per
cent to the depositors of the defunct
institution and Mr.. Andrews is now
busily engaged in writing the checks.
1t requires S14, $50 to pay dividend OF
10 per cent and after declaring the
dividend the receiver had just ST. on
hands. The distribution Of nearly
$l5, 200 will be quite a sum for those
who We're so unfortunate as to be doing
business with the bank at the time OF
the failure. This dividend all goes to
the depositors and none of it to those
who only established general claim
against the bank. 1t is thought, by
those who are familiar with the situa-
ton, that there will be another divi-
dend of 10 per cent and quite probably
still another for a less amount. Ii
everything works to the best adj
vantage of the defunct institution it
is possible the fifth dividend will be for
| 10 per cent, but it cannot be depended
upon. The depositors will have to be
content with from 40 to so per cent and
to get that amount they were fort
innate enough in getting certain legal
points sustained, not only by the lower
court, but by the supreme court. The
receiver says the Carbon mill is one Of
the most difficult assets he has to real
ize on. The bank has claim for about
$500 against it and it is the intention
to sell the same at ''piece meals. y

Is Starving Himself.

One of the most sensational eases that
has occurred in Osceola for many years
is the deliberately planned and carried
out intention of Chas. Armstrong, who
has not eaten a bite since the first day
Of August, and who says the reason he
does not eat is that he has already lived
long enough and doesn't want to be in
anybody's road. At first it was thought
by everyone that it was a joke, and that
after few days he would partake of
food, but he has pers1stently refused to
indulge and although he was in very
good health at the beginning of his fast
he is now too weak to walk and saws he
will die by Sunday. He is one of the
wealthiest men in Clarke county, having
come here at an early day and practiced
the most rigid economy, he accumulated
a large amount of land and much money.
and he has made disposition of this
property among his wife and children
preparatory to making his long journey.
That he will not last more than few
days is evident and the people Of Osce-
ola are wondering who is to blame for
allowing man to deliberately murder
himself in their midst.-Osceola Sen

Benton Latta, a we'll known farmer
residing south of town, has recently
arrived at the conclusion that the
Lariat is a good counselor when it
advises its readers to trade with home
merchants and stay clear of the mail
order houses. The Lariat, however,
does not desire to take undue credit
and candidly confesses that it had but
little if anything to do with convincing
Mr.. Latta. Sears, Roebuck & Co., are,
we believe, entitled to all the honors.
Latta conceived the idea of buying
new cook stove and sewing machine
and, without consulting local merchants
as to prices and quality, ETC., he hied
himself to a bank, secured a draft for
S31. 40 and fired it into Sears, Roebuck
u Co. Then Mr.. Latta anxiously haunt
ed the freight house pending the arriv-
al of his goods. In due time the sew
ing machine alone arrived and while it
looked pretty good to Mr.. Latta it
wasn't the whole works by long shot.
He had all along jollied himself with
the thought that the cook stove would
certainly be a warm number-after he
had filed it chock up to the lids with
soft maple-and now it beg N to look as
though he might get his fingers burned
but not on the cook stove he had
ordered. And time sped on, likewise
the mails, which carried to and frc
letters of complaint and howls for his
money back, from Mr.. Latta to the
Chicago men, and letters of coincidence
and excuse from them to LAtta
Eventually the mail order house tiree
of Mr.. Latta's seemingly bulldog per
sistence and plainly wrote him to tn,
effect, sarcastically advising him to g.
to Gehenna or New Buda, get in thu
shade, fan hard and eschew pale pill
for pink people. Up to the presen
writing Mr.. Latta is standing tied, bu
, shy-about twent-one simoleons.-

There is only one way TO cure deafness,

closed Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition
