HE DECLINES
THE ELECTION
MAN CHOSEN AS BISHOP OF WYO-
MING MISSIONARY DISTRICT
WRITES DECLlNATION.
Or. Frederick Focke Reese Believes
Altitude Would Be to Disadvantage
of Wife's Health and Sends Deep
Regret That He Cannot Come-ln
Hands of Bishop of Boise.

A letter from DR.. Frederick Focke
Reese to Dean Bode states that he has
declined his election to be bishop of
Wyoming. In his letter DR.. Reese
says: Il want to assure you n the
clergy and people of Wyoming that |
only arrived at this conclusion as the
result of conditions which / believe
were compulsory, and with deep regret
and sincere disappointment" He then
gives IS his reason the health of Mrs.
Reese, who has been seriously i'll with
nervous prostration and other compli-
cations. Specialists, after consultation,
have %concurred that she must not ven-
ture to try to live in such a high alti'
tude. 1t was this which settled the
question.
Occasion for Deep Regret.
DIR. Reese goes on to say: Il do
most sincerely regret the loss to my
self of the privilege and opportunity of
the work to which the church called
me, though at the same time l feel
keenly my insufficiency; and l also
deeply regret it if any loss shall be
realized to the work Of the district
By the delay in filing the episcopate.
But | hope that in Gods providence 1t
may urn out that nc serious loss Will
come, and that the house CT bishops
will be guided to the selection of a bet
ter man for the work when they meet,
which | suppose will be early in the
spring.
May | ask you to convey to the clef-
gy and people as you may AVE oppor'
tunity, the assurance of my interest
in their work and of my prayers to Goo
for his blessing upon them" (Signed)
Frederick f. Reese
Bishop Funston in Charge.
The Episcopal church of Wyoming
will receive with sorrow the news OF
his declination. The district will be
administered by Bishop Funston oil the
Diocese of Idaho, at Boise, until the
house of bishops shall have held an
other meeting and named a bishop,
The people of the church are greatly
| nleased that the state has been made a
sparate missionary district and were
allotting upon the coming of DR.. Reese
as the episcopal head. Laramie Is
the see city and his residence woull
have been here.

SPLENDID
SHOWING
FIRST NATIONAL AND ALBANY
COUNTY NATIONAL MAKE VERY
GRATIFYING STATEMENTS.
Every Item Showing the Stability Of
the Institutions Has Increase Over
Last Statement and Cash Has Al
most poubled-Not a Single Item
to Discredit Of Banks.

The reports Of the condition of the
First National and Albany County Ma
tional banks of this city at the close
of business on December 3 are printed
in this issue of The Republican. max
ing two OF the most remarkable state
ments ever issued in the west. In both
banks there has been an increase OF
loans and discounts. a decided increase
in deposits, the cash on hand has al
most doubled, and every item indicat-
ing the stability of the two institu-
ions has an increase over the last re-
ports.
Paid Demands in Cash.
The banks paid every demand in
cash last month, covering a much
larger payroll than usual by the rail
road company in its several depart
ments, and in the face of this there
has not been a falling off in any n
item that affects the standing of the
two institutions. 1t would do well for
the people of this city to preserve these
statements and to e that they are
quoted to the people outside of the
city who believed the Laramie banks
could not stand the drain of the heavy
railroad payroll.
Conservatism With Business.
Conservatism has marked every
move of the officers Of the two banks,
but there has not been the turning
down of a single worthy demand for
leans. The banks agreed at the be-
ginning to go through the recent furry
with gold and notes, and they have
done SO. Not a check has been turned
away, not a cashiers certificate is
sued, and there is still money on hand
to "do it all over again." All honor
to the officers of the pride of the whole
state in the banking way!
County Funds Forwarded.
In addition to the vast sums paid on
railroad and city and county pay
checks, the county bias paid SIS. 900 in
county Indebtedness, the cash having
been paid to retire that smount Of
bonds of the county. The bonds fell
due on the 10th Of November and the
money was in the New York banks to
take them up as they were presented.

trained nurse. Mr.. Spence will have
a regular house physician at Keystone
and will be prepared to handle all ac-
cidents and sickness in that locality.
He will spend the whole of his time
there. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Spence are
experienced as hospital superintend-
ents and both hospitals will thus be
given the best of attention.
