Estimate of the Shortage.
KNOWN AS a FAMILY" BANK
One Family Ran the Whole Thing
Million in Cash.

The institution was known as a
family" bank. The Stensland family,
for years well-known residents of the
northwest side. owned much of the
stock, and members of the family OPP
Grated the bank. 1t was organized in
1891 and succeeded the banking firm
of Paul @. Stensland < Co. 1t was
launched with a paid mp capital of
S2J0.000. \ statement made by Vice
President Stensland showed $1,051. 900
in cash on hand due from 9th
er banks. He said that the
hank carried deposits of $4,200.O00,
and had 22.0C0 depositors
Stensland was trusted implicitly by
the people who placed their savings in
his care, and he had an equally envia-
Bile reputation for integrity among the
bankers downtown. 1t Is evident, how
ever, that the published statements of
the bank did net show its true condi-
ton. No downtown bank is involved
with it in any way and there is no
chance of a loss by them. President
Stensland is the owner of the largest
amount of stock. being credited with
$40 shares, or nearly 40 per cent. of
the total. For nearly thirty years
President Stensland has been promi-
nent in Chicago business life
G. c. Jones, state bank examiner,
who is investigating the affairs of the
institution, said: 1T will take at least
! a week before / will be in a position
of make a reliable statement of the
/ affairs of the bank When the exam
nation of the books is completed I
think it will he found that Cashier
/ Herring is not entirely to blame for the
closing of the doors. While there have
been reports that Herring has been us
/ ing the funds of the bank for his own
| personal benefit am not prepared AT
the present time to state that such is
j the fact. On the hand. however
| I believe have fe and enough to justi-
fy me in making the statement that
there has been some juggling of the
1 banks funds and that Cashier Herring
is not the only one that is involved"

CONSCIENTIOUS RoeUEs.
The Big and Formidable Sinners Are
Cray of SOuI, Not Black.

The Big and Formidable Sinners Are
Gray of SO'uI, Not Black.
No paradox is 1t, but demonstrate
fact, that in a highly articulate society
the gravest harms are inflicted not by
the worst men, but by those with vir
tues enough to boost them into some
coign Of vantage. The boss who sells
out the town and delivers the poor over
to filth, disease and the powers that
prey owes his chance to his engaging
good fellowship and big heartedness.
Some of the most dazzling careers Of
fraud have behind them long and reas-
surfing records of probity, which have
served to bait the trap of villainy.
Not that these decoy virtues are coun-
terfeit. They are, in fact, so genuine
that often the stalwart sinner perse-
veres in the virtue that has lifted him
into the high places he abuses. The
legislator conscientiously returns the
Doodle when he finds he cannot de
liver the goods" The boss stands by
his friends to his own hurt. The lob
bying lawyer is faithful to his client.
The corrupting corporation president is
loyal to his stockholders. The bought
en- editor never quite overcomes his
craft instinct to print "all the rows
there is"
In a word, the big and formidable
sinners are gray Of soul, but not black,
so that chassisement according to their
character rather than according to their
+ deeds lets them off far too easily.-E.
i A. Ross in Atlantic.

Al ideal combination Is TO soap the
body all over. using tepid water before
plunging into q cold bath. But there
are many good folks who cannot face
q cole bath daily and who after taking
one are apt to be cold and shiyering
al the day through For these the best
plan IS, after warm bath. TO sponge
the throat and chest with cold water.
which is most stimulating and espe-
cially so where the bather suffers from
chronic colds To insist on a cold bath
is just as unwise as to have bath
that is too warm and to remain in 1t
too long. That is the more general
mistake.

Features of the ATair.

Riotous scenes attended the an
nouncement Of the failure, and large
force OF police struggled all day to
keep an excited crowd of depositors-
nearly all Of them foreigners and many
Of them women from rushing the
doors of the institution The fact that
the bank was on the verge Of failure
was first revealed by President Paul o.
Stensland, one of the absent officials.
A letter 10 his son, Theodore who is
vice president, written from st Paul
and received last Saturday started the
investigation which brought about the
suspension. Another sensational feature
of the affair was the disappearance of
the cashier Henry W. Herring. and the
issuing of warrant for his arrest on
charge of embeZzlement.
Estimate of the Shortage.
The shortage is estimated to re be-
tween $750,OOO and $1,000 900. Disas-
trous speculation in real estate and in
he security market is said to be re-
sponsible. Members of the clearing
rouse committee were told that most
Of this amount was wholly unprotect-
ed by adequate collateral.

HAD ITS EFFECT.

The exceedingly close fight be-
tween the two tickets at our recent
city election is but another indica-
ton Of the growing sentiment
against bossism in Condor and Gill
liam county, The citizens Of Con.
don neither demand or will toler-
ate political dictator. However
wise they may deem his choice Of
candidates, however great may be
their respect for the men Of his
choosing, they naturally revolt
when they begin TO realize that the
black hand Of bossism threatens to
overbalance and outweigh their
very right of suffrage. The oppo-
sition in our city election was de-
feated by small margin but it in
dicates very plainly that the senti'
ment against the lone man power
is growing rapidly.

nomination for Congress, The
Judge lie standing entirely upon
his past record, He is not max.
ing an aggressive campaign for the
office but is willing to go back to
Washington, to serve and to work
for the people Of Oregon as he did
a few years ago when he represent
ed this district in the National
halls of Congress. A careful study
of his public and private life is his
best endorsement. If the Second

Wm. X. Ellis back to Congress,
they will make no mistake.

The following, where moral is
clearly shown, is taken from an ex-
change: Recently church con-
gregation in a little Kansas town
built new church. To pay for it
they we're obliged to call on the
merchants Of the community tor
donations. The merchants re-
sponded libe rally and $500 was
raised from this source. The last
man asked to subscribe was John
Smith, Jeweler. II will give you

to the subscription list" he said.
The permission was accorded him
and he wrote at the foot of the list:
John Smith, Jeweler, Us

Montgomery, Ward & Co. 80
The church people saw the point
when the minister read the list
of donors to the building fund from
the pulpit, and since the dedication
of the church there have been no

HARVARD-CAMBRIDGe RACE
The Crimson Crew Has Advantage in
Weight Over BritisherS.

Arrangements have been concluded
for a race on the river Thames, Eng
land. between the Harvard university
crew which defeated Yale at New
London, Conn. last month and the
Cambridge university crew which beat
oxford last April. The race will be
rowed over the OXford-CamDridGe
course Sept. s. which extends from
Putney to MortlGke. 4 distance of four
miles and three furiongs.
All the members of the Harvard
eight are now in Europe.
The Harvard men want it distinctly
understood that The race Oh the
Thames will not be for the interna-
tionaI championship or anything of the
kind. They cheerfully acknowledge
he pre-eminence of Cornell and make
no pretensions to superiority over any
crew except the one they defeated at
New London last June.
The race in England VIII be purely
for sports sake. The Harvard men
say that incidentally they hope TO gain
from their English opponents some ad-
ditional knowledge about rowing.
The Harvard crew Will stay at
Bourne End. on the Thames, above
Windsor, until the race.
The statistics of the Harvard and
Cambridge crews as they rowed this
year show that Harvard will have an
advantage of eight pounds in the mat
ter of weight. The makeup and
weights of the two crews as they were
DOated follow:
