FOR A PERIOD OF YEARS.
etensIand Said to Have Systematicali
Piundered His Bank.

etensIand Said to Have systematically
Piundered His Bank.
Chicago, Aug. 9.-The Tribune says:
A state of affairs more startling and
shocking than had been hinted pre-
yiously In connection with the col
lapse Of the Milwaukee Avenue State
bank was revealed when 1t became
plain that through barefaced forgery
President Paul o. Stensland had plum
dered his own bank systematically
through a period OF years.
The question arose whether Cashier
Henry w. Herring proflted to any large
extent by this plundering. His friends
say he did not, although acknowledg.
ing that he may have had knowledge
of what Stensland was doing.
At any rate there has been discov-
cred In President Stensland's own
safety deposit box series of mem.
craEda detailing how the bank was
looted.
The amount thus taken from the
savings of $4,000 poor families. as set
down In Stensland's handwriting. is
$l,003,0OO The money went to sup
port Stenslands real estate specula-
tions, his cooperative building asso-
citation and his fine household In Iry-
ing Park.
Luxuries for Women Friends.
According to the police some OF It
also went latterly for luxuries for a
certain woman or women friends OF
Stensland's.
Information about the long list Of
forgeries-with detailed corrOboration
was obtained by the Tribune from
source Of unimpeachable authority.
The Tribune's informant saw the men,
orandum of forgeries, memorandum
notes and other fictitious paper which
the fugitive president and cashier left
behind them. The thefts consist OF
nearly 200 items ranging from $1,000
to $4,000 each. The names forged
are those of directors and stockhold-
ers in tbs bank and of persons asso-
ciated with Stensland In other bust
ness ventures. Some dummy names
are there, too.
II the entire amount of $1.003.000
Ia found on investigation to be CON-
posed wholly OF forgeries OF course
no part Of II can be recovered This
discrepancy alone will mean the loss
to each depositor of one-fourth OF his
savings 1t is furthermore feared that
Stensland may have taken with him in
his flight large supply OF the banks
cash.

American Negro Preachers May Be
Banished From Africa.

London, Aug. 9.--It is being sug-

! The agitation against the preachers
has been revived by the recent trou-
BILE at Capetown, for which they are
held by certain London papers to be
partially responsible. They have
made no secret of their mission to
South Africa, advising the natives to
use their efforts to secure black su.
premacy In that part of the world.

The large two story house on the Lee
Evans farm north of the fair grounds,
owned and occupied by Ira Sears and
family, burned on last Thursday morn
ing about daylight together with most
of the contents. The fire was caused
by an explosion of coal Oil while MIR.
Sears was pouring it into the stove in
starting fire. When the fire was COM
mnnicated with the wick and oil in the
lamp Mr.. Sears attempted to throw the
blazing lamp through the window, but
missed the window and striking the
wall bursted and threw the burning
oil over the room. He had barely time
to get his wife and children, who were
yet in bed, out of the house, before the
house was filled with flames and sitting
smoke. An organ and one bed was
about all that he was able to save of
the contents of the house. We are
informed that the house was insured
for about it's full value and for $500 on
the contents. Mr.. Sears bought the
farm and moved to it last spring. He
is engaged in building small plank
house to live in until he puts up bet
ter one. The house burned was erected
about 81 years ago by the late II. L.
Evans, and at the time was considered
the best farm house in this section OF
ountry.-Lineville Tribune.

PLANNING THE COUNTRY HOME.

The country home must be built upon a beauti-
full, healthful site, preferably upon gentle knoll
and cheerful outlook over some part OF the
farm surrounding country. All swamps, frog
ponds and the like should be avoided, especially
toward the southwest west, the prevailing
winds will bring malaria into the house.
The ground which the house should be built
should be free from stagnant water. To find out
If the subsoi is dry dig down six eight feet
and see If the hole will remain dry for a day or
two. There is direct connection between con-
sumption and certain fevers and the approach ef
the water line to the surface CT the soil 1t is
impossible to build healthy home on water
soaked subsol. If the soil and subsoil not free
from stagnant water make them dry by under
drainage
In planning the house the living rooms should be
on the eastern side where they receive the first
sunlight In the morning and be in the shade in
the afternoon. Even in summer time morn
ings are often chilly, but the afternoons are very
hot the hottest time being about o'clock The
worst exposure, both for heat and wind is the
southwest.
Winds from the east and south are usually gen.
tie but those from the northeast and southwest
are boisterous, and the house should be shielded
from those winds by evergreens. But these should
not cover up or overshadow the house to ex-
clude the sunlight ~ One imperative demand OF
mands light and air. The must shine at some
time Of the day on every wall of the house-Out-
