I'M PRESIDENTS NAME.
Deed to Building Owned by Defunct
Peoria Bank.

Peoria, ILL.,, Feb j Receiver John
B. Wilton of the Peoples Savings bank
has discovered the deed to the bank,
building, which had been missing
since the minister killed himself.
While the building was bought with
the funds of the bank the deed was
made out to George H. Simmons only,
thus revealing an effort to swindle his
partner, Rev. E. f. Kelly, who owns
half interest with him.
The discovery of the deed has
caused CONSERVATION among the 900
depositors of the bank. This property
had been regarded as the chief asset,
it's value being placed at $4,000. AS
it is in the name of DIR. Simmons the
widow will receive her dover rights
and the. PERSONAL creditors of the
estate an allowance of their claims,
the residue, if any. going to the de-
positors pro rata.

FINAL EFFORTS BEING MADE sY
wAsHiNeT1toi,n Z, AND BERLIN
GOVERNMENTS.
SITUATION is NOT WITHOUT HOPE
PRESIDENT, SECRETARY ROOT
AND GERMAN AMBASSADOR
u
CONFER DAILY.

Washington, Feb. Between now
and March l, the date of the lapsing
of the trade arrangement between
this country and Germany, a final and
determined effort will be made by the
Washington and Berlin governments
to come to some agreement that will
prevent a tariff war between the two
countries, the evils of which are mu-
tually understood The prime movers
in this last effort are Baron Speck Won
Sternburg, the German ambassador,
and Secretary Root and the president.
The ambassador was at the state de-
partment during the day and will have
other conferences within the next few
days The success of this last effort
depends largely upon the extent to
which this government can modify it's
customs regulations, by which it is
hoped certain in1ustices against for
eign merchants may be remedied.
Throughout the negotiations Germany
has shown great readiness to do all in
her power to come to satisfactory
agreement. The president and Secre-
tary Root are equally anxious for the
success of the negotiations and the
cordial personal relations between
them and the German ambassador is
another factor which makes for the
success of these extremely delicate
negotiations. 1t is too much to say
that the success Of the negotiations is
assured, but it can be announced that
the outlook is not without hope of
favorable issue.

GLOBE WANTS AN
 IMPROVED POSTAL SERVICE
(From Wednesdays s Daily)

(From Wednesdays Daily)
 Petitions are being circulated about Globe which will be sent to the post. master general requesting better postal service for the local postoffice. Copies of the petition have been placed at various business houses for the sigma lures of Globe citizens. More help is needed at the postoffice, but it seems to require an act of congress to secure ad- ditional clerks. Postmaster Allison has but four assistants, one of whom is a night clerk, and the postmaster himself is compelled to work twelve to four teen hours daily. The public has been seriously inconvenienced at times by the delays caused by insufficient help. No effort has been made by the postofiice department to keep up with the in crease in business here by an increase in the force. The registry business alone in the local postoffice for the past four months exceeds that of Phoenix and that of Douglas by g per cent. The foreign money order business ex- ceeds that of any office in Arizona with the possible exception of Bisbee.
 The Globe office needs at least four additional clerks and those who are now employed are entitled to more pay for their services.

 J. c. Erman, who is in charge If the Bryan group of mines in Pinal ctunty, between Kelvin and Troy, arrived here last evening and brought the news of an oldfashioned, orthodox stage hold up except that it had to be done in the daylight instead of by the ght of the moon, for the reason that the stage makes day run, says the Repr blican. Ii was the Kelvin-Troy stage, with Jehu Billy Mankins pushing on tne ribbons. At lonely and more or less secretive spot about a mile from Troy, and at about 3:3O p. m. Friday, cou- pie of bandits bold with masks on their faces, stepped into the road and drew down on the startled driver. He was alone on the vehicle. as it was poor day for passengers, and the robbers just had to have something, 50 they in vited the driver to contribute. He only had about fifty dollars with him at the time, but he came through with that. II wasn t enough, SO the robbers decided to take fall out of Uncle Sam and forthwith cut their way into the mail sacks. What that feature of the enter prise netted them was not learned.
 The driver told his story as soon as he got where there was anybody to lis ten and the word was passed along to the Pinal county authorities and to Ranger MeGee. who chanced to be in those parts. They took to the saddle as soon as possible, with what result was not known when Mir. Erman started for Phoenix.

TO DEEPEN WE'LL.
Government Work Abandoned Fifteen
Years AGO.

The A-terprising people of Buffalo
Gap and vicinity are raising the sum
of $4,000 for an interesting and i'm
portant purpose-the sinking 500 feet
deeper of an artesian we'll which was
commenced about fifteen years ago by
the United States government, but
which was afterwards, for some rea-
son. abandoned.
Through the efforts of Congressman
Martin engineers of the geological de-
partment were ordered to Buffalo Gap
to make thorough examination of the
we'll, then down 500 feet, and the sur
rounding country, and make a report
on the same Nearly an entire sum-
mer was spent by Prof. barton and his
men in making geological surveys. A
careful eyat lination of the abandoned
we'll was made by both Mr.. barton and
the chief engineer. Mr.. Newell, and as
a result of their labors they recon-
mended that this we'll and three 9th
ers in different portions of the state
west of the Missouri river be put down
as test wells.
On this recommendation the depart
ment ordered that the we'll be drilled.

commenced in circuit court at Huron.

ings that the promoters of the COM
pany, together with it's principal Off

ital stock without rendering services
therefor, and that they have made
large profits at the expense of the com
pany by selling options on it's treasury
stock at prices below those demanded
by the company. The plaintiff also
claims that the dividends paid monthly
