Peoria, ILL.,, Feb. Faced with ruin

made during the past two or three days
concerning his private character, Rev.

First Baptist church, president of the
Interstate Savings bank and the Peo-

on the East Bluff by swallowing cya-
hide of potassium.
Last Saturday complaint against DR.,
Simmons was made to the states attor-
ney, following testimony by members
of the Boys Baptist brigade, at a
church investigation.
Saturday afternoon he was advised by
three prominent citizens to leave Peoria
because of the reports against his char
acter and his seeming inability to make
a proper defense.
He had been a persistent advocate for
reform in politics.
Runs were made on both banks of
which he was president, and Tuesday
morning the Peoples Savings bank
did not open it's doors.
The Peoples savings bank has liza

No Longer a MYTH.

Latter-day iconoclasts-or, more
properly, knockers-have attempted to
destroy what they call the myth" re-
garding George Washington and his
little Ratchet. They have contended
that the alleged incident never trans.
pired. for they said that no proof OF
1t was in existence. They are now
undone, for a man in Virginia has
found the Ratchet. That Is, he has
found q Ratchet, imbedded in a tree

on the Ratchet handle appear the mi.

the face OF such proof, says the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat, who will deny
that the father of his country did cut
down the cherry tree, and then refuse
TO lie about it? 1t Is gratifying that q
tradition so dear to the American
heart should be so strikingly proved
true. And the calumniators should
now be forever silenced. We should de-
post that Ratchet in the Smithsonian
institution, and whenever a mocker
arises to deny the truth of the cherry
tree episode we will crush and con-
vince him by showing him the Ratchet
And, hereafter, we must be more care
full in the preservation of material evil
dence Of historical incidents. We
Would suggest that the presidents
"big stick" be put away for future ref
erence before it is quite worn out. We
will need it some day to prove that 1t
was used to preserve the worlds
peace. And the president does not
need it now. He needs a spade and
pick to dig the Panama canal with.
These, too, should be carefully pre-
served to show to future generations,
for otherwise they may not believe we
dug a canal at all. With the perversi-
ty Of a doubling class they may say:
"Show us the canal" but the pick and
spade should convince them. They
might at least convince us that the
canal was to be dug.

The relation of the nerves and gen.

that nine-tenths of the nervous pros

sleeplessness and nervous irritability
arise from some arrangement Of the

Fits of depression or r~estlessness and
irritability spirits easily affected, so
that one minute she laughs, the mex

Nothing will relieve this distressing
condition and prevent months of pros

Mrs. M. e. Shotwell, of 103 Flatbush

THE YEAR 5667
Ceremonies By Orthodox Jews
Began at COS O'clock
Last Evening

The celebration Of the Hebrew New
Year festivities began at COS, the Off
cial hour for sunset, last night. with
special services in the synagogues.
This marked the advent Of the year
5667 of the creation of the world by
the Jewish calendar. The ceremonies
by the Orthodox Jews viii continue
until sunset tomorrow, while those of
the Reform Jews win close at sunset
this evening.
New Years Day marks the begin
ming of a series of celebrations, includ-
ing the most sacred on the Hebrew
calendar, the Day of Atonement. which
occurs on the tenth day after New
Year; it is also known as the Day of
Memorial and the Day of Judgment.
AS the Day of Memorial the Hebrews
recall all their deeds Of the year and
Seek forgiveness for all the sins that
they have committed during that time.
They also pray for renewed strength
with which to battle the evils and
temptations Of this world. This day
with them is, as 1t is with the gentiles,
a day for the framing of new resolu-
tions.
1t is interesting TO note the different
manner in which the Jews and gentiles

It looks as though the fighters them

quicker than the law is.
About three years ago there were many
heavy-weights who were clamorlng for
the titlo. They were accommodated one
by one by Jefries.. He even went back
and gave them another chance, and after
cleaning them up he retired to a farm in
Southern California.
Since that time this country has not had
a heavyweight who was worth a dash Of
beans.
There has not been a good ripe man
I'm the big division since jon left. and
from the looks Of the crop now it will
be quite a while before one does show up.
There is another fighter named Cans.
Ho had been peddilng lofts and rights
for about fifteen years, gradually killing
of a certain class known as light-woights.
In the last two years Cams has wiped the
map clean.
Nelson was the last Of the good light
weights Right now there Is neither a
good lightweight nor good heavy
weight excepting. OF course, the two de-
mons who have trimmed the ring.
