Loaned Lincoln a Horse
Honest Abe" when he made his
memorable canvas over the state of
Illinois for the state legislature in 1886.
appealed to the Wilson family for
help, and the bride of scarcely a year
loaned the backwoods statesman her
own saddle horse, the wedding gift of
her father, to bear him from city to
city.
When Lincoln became president he
did not forget his old friends, and in
the front ranks at the first inaugural
stood Robert Wilson, who had come
on to see his old associate take the
oath of office. The newly made presi-
dent was anxious to do something for
his former comrade and he offered him
any office Mr.. Wilson desired. In a
short time this offer was accepted.
When the first mutterings of rebel
hon began to excite the northern cap
ltal and the Union troops were still
far away, Col Wilson was one of the
members of the famous "Clay's guard
which kept watch around the White
House till the Massachusetts, troops
arrived.
Becomes Paymaster
The army seemed to offer Mr.. Will
son the chance he wished, and he en-
tered the army as paymaster, his
former services permitting him to en-
ter with the rank and pay of a major.
He served in the capacity of pay
master throughout the war, handling
in all over $1,000, 900. During this time
the books of the paymasters were
audited four times, and of the $50 paw
masters in the army only four We're
absolutely correct in their accounts.
Wilson was one of the four, and each
time the auditors found that to be the
case they sent him letter of congrat-
ulation, letters which have been kept
In the family as helrlooms ever since
After the war Mr.. Wilson was
breveted lieutenant colonel by con-
gress. He died in March, 1880, at the
age of 70 years.
Mrs. Wilson continued to live at the
old homestead after the death of her
husband, and 1t was i'm this house that
she died Tuesday. She was one of the
organizers Of the First Presbyterian
church In Springfield and survived ali
her associates.

stuck in a bad rut in the turnpike

plunged it completely under water
in the slough surrounding the pike.
A team, block and tackles, engi-

floundered auto to the surface and
the next day the tourists went upon
their way. This turnpike is in a
very bad condition and should have
the attention of the road overseer in

went to park and labored industri-
ously laying out the walks and spad-
ing off the sod and making the walks
ready for the gravel. In the after
noon teams were kept busy hauling
gravel from the village gravel pit
east Of town, and this with the men
at work gave the park quite bust
nesslike appearance. This was very
commendable and shows enterprise
on the part of the people. A we'll
kept park adds greatly to the ap-
pearance Of the town.

1t was, in fact, surplus of mony that

'l DEPOS|7ORS
A PENNSYLVANIA BANKER HAS A
= PROPOSITION.
Would Have All National Banks In a
Protective Association Provided
for by Act OF Congress. No panics
Would Occur IL Depositors Were
Secure.

In a proposed bill for the security oi
national bank deposits, @. F. Allis, vice
president Of the Second National bank
OF Erie, Pa. renews the plan presented
by him for consideration at a former
session OF congress, with some changes
suggested by recent experience. His
scheme 10 to have great "Co.operative
Protective association" of which all the
national banks shall be members. and
the creation of fund in the treasury de-
pertinent of the government which shall
be drawn upon to pay the depositors in
any national bank that fails.
Briefly. the plan is this: The comp
troller OF the currency to be authorized
to levy an annual assessment on every
national bank as follows: 800 on those
having a capital Of $4,000; $3.50 on a
capital over $4,000 and not exceeding
500. 900; $500 on a capital exceeding
$4,000 but not exceeding $500, 900; $4OO
where the capital exceeds $500, 900.
These assessments to be collected by pro.
ceedings at law if not promptly paid.
The assessments are to be continued
until the fund shall reach $4,000, 900,
and whenever the fund shall be reduced
to 5000, 900 or less the assessments
shall be renewed to bring it up to Sc, ,OOO,.
600. This fund is to be known as "de.
posit insurance fund.-" and out of it
dividends are to be paid to depositors of
suspended bank after or concurrent
with dividends payable fram the assets
of the bank collected by the receiver.
Full payment of depositors is to be made
within two years. If q number of banks
should be in the hands OF receivers and
there should not be sufficient money in
the "insurance fund" and available from
other assets to pay depositors in full
within two years, the payments are to be
made out Of assessments Of succeeding
years.
Az the average annual loss to depositors
in national banks since 1868 has been
only $1,000. 900. it is considered the fund
of 5000, 1000 will be amply sufficient to
guard against all losses. At the rate of
assessment 1t would take, perhaps, three
or four years for the fund 70 reach the
maximum amount, but thereafter there
would be a steady and ever available
fund.
The plan does not mean government
insurance. the government being simply
custodian Of the fund. Depositors of
broken banks would be paid possibly
within two months and almost certainly
within two years, and every depositor
would be protected from loss without

More than this, most of what the Coast
has to sell is In the form OF necess aries.
while much of what it buys in the East
is in the form of luxuries. This financial
stringency has made the people more
cautious. and they will be careful about
spending money. The purchase Of neces-
saries will go on just the same as usual.
but there will be decrease in the pur-
chase Of luxuries. This will he to the
advantage of the Coast and keep more

the experience of 1905. 1t was then said:
"Wait until after the Lewis and Clark

and you can pick up property for song"
But the slump did not come, for the res-
son that everybody wanted to buy real
estate. People who have been gradually
drawing their money out of the banks.
or who wish to do so, will be hunting for
an investment in the next few months.
The banks will have more money than
they can loan and they will hesitate
about sending it East again. In the alb
sence of subject of investment there
will be strong demand for real proper
ty. II the Coast were debtor part Of

this bogie last evening. The mayor
called up the library matter by saying
he felt sure that large sentiment pre-.
vailed in the city against using Carnegie

be submitted at the city election next

The state supreme court has handed
down decision in the case OF Sudden &
Christianson va Bert Morse and remain
ded it for q new trial. The action grew
out OF an attempt by Morse and others to
purchase the steamer M. F. Plant at
San Francisco. Morse gave Sudden &
Christianson check upon the Aberdeen
State Bank for 5000 to be used in get.
ting an option on the steamer, and later
stopped payment Of the check.
At the trial in the lower court, Morse
contended that Sudden & Christianson
had not secured the option according to
his instructions. and was given a verdict
by the jury. Owing to two errors made
BY the trial court. judgment was reversed
and thu case remanded for a new trial.
