Praising President Roosevelt to the skies and claiming that he fougA with Teddy" at San Juan hill Fred Lucz of Torrington walked into the police station about 1 o'clock this afternoon and asked that something be done to have Roosevelt lead the cowboys again. II have been wait ing for more than a week for our former captain to appear said the en- thusiast and I firmly believe that some harm has befallen him.

BANK IS CLOSED
One of the Oldest and Largest Institutions in Kansas
 City
RECEIVER IN CHARGE

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec 5.-The National Bank of Commerce of Kan sas City, Mo-, failed to open its doors to-day and is in the hands of the na- tional bank examiner. The bank is one of the oldest here and is the largest financial institution in the city.
 The following notice was posted on the door of the bank:
 This bank has been closed by order of the board of directors. It is in the hands of James T. Bradley, na- tional bank examiner, by order Of the comptroller of the currency
 The bank had been in weakened condition since its last statement, is- sued August %, last. It was stated then that the bank owed the clearing house close to million dollars.
 When the financial disturbance came and the clearing house declined to issue clearing house certificates, rumors regarding the banks condl- tion were current and the clearing house recently has discussed means Of keeping the bank open.
 Yesterday surprise was expressed when the request of the comptroller for a statement of condition of banks was not responded to by the National Bank of Commerce. Other local banks published their statements, showing healthy condition, but the officials of the Commerce announced that it's statement would not be forthcoming till this morning. This created fur ther distrust and after conferences lasting into the early hours to-day the clearing house officials decided they could not aid the failing bank.
 When the statement of the National Bank of Commerce appeared it show ed that since the statement of August p. last, the deposits had been reduced from close to $35.0O0.000 to S16,952,- 969. The statement showed also that the item of loans and discounts had been cut down four millions of dol lars.
 The statement issued this morning
 
 follows:
 Resources-Loans and discounts, SIP ,656,0G: real estate, $697,542. O1 five per cent redemption funds. S5O,0O0: furniture and fixtures 500; premium on bonds. 500: cash in sight ex $5.343. .46O. 10: United States bonds. par. S1,2S0.O00: other high grade bonds, S4O06.

 The New York correspondent of the National Bank of Commerce of Kan sas City is the First National bank. An official of that institution said to- day that the Kansas City bank had a large credit balance with the First National. The stock market was af- fected by the news of the failure, but not to a serious extent.

ORIGINALITY.
The Secret of Advertising Exemplified
 by the Curran Company.

X specimen of up to date advertis- ing is now in operation by the Curran Dry Goods Co in connection with their 18th anniversary celebration and sale.
 This being the last week of the sale this concern decided to make every hour remaining of special importance to their customers by offering some item each hour at exactly half it's regular price.
 In their space tonight in this paper will be found clock faces representing every hour in the day from d. m. to 6 D. m. and underneath the clock is stated just what is to be on sale be- tween the hours.
 At the entrance to the store is a large clock face to which is attached a sign stating just what is on sale, as the day progresses and the hands on the clock are changed, as are the various cards to correspond with the advertisement in this issue, thus show ing visitors to the store at a glance just what is being sold at half price the hour they arrive. Each department contributes con- Secutively one item at half price which is sold only at the hour designated and ill connection with that item are other extra special values which can be had all day ill the same depart ment.
 Care is given that the things offered at half price are such as every pur- chaser is familiar with, SD there can be no doubt of the genuineness of the offer.
 This is quite simple and gives every department q showing for it's allotted hour-the many departments occupy ing the whole day in rotation.
 This is the sort of advertising that causes tue public to appreciate the value of reading advertiscmcnts-tha method is expensive. but it is most convincing and holds the attention of those who have become indifferent to advertisements in general. The Curran Dry Goods Co is to he congratulated on their promotion of so clever and original q scheme.

HAYWOOD SPEAKS
Says Miners Have Been Fair and That There is no Need
 of Troops.

Denver, Col, Dec. 5.-When Will liam D. Haywood, secretary treasurer of the Western Federation of Miners, was informed yesterday that Cover nor Sparks of Nevada had asked that federal troops be sent to Goldfield New, he said:
 "The miners at Goldfeld have been fair with the mine owners and l cannot conceive how federal troops could be necessary unless capitalists have been interruptions. l have just returned from Goldfeld, where l in- vestigated the disputes between min CTS and mine owners. There had been talk of a reduction in wages owing to the financial panic. But this talked of decrease has not come, to my knowledge.
 Secondarily, the miners were dis satisfied at the cashiers check system. They were willing to put up with the panic, however and offered to ac- cept half of the wages in cashiers checks and the other half in gold.
 'The value of cashiers check has greatly decreased in Goldfield. Not generally accepted. the miners were willing to save them until the pam icky situation had been alleviated But it was necessary for the miners to live, which in Goldfeld necessit- ated that a portion of their salary be paid in gold.
 'I personally interviewed Cover nor Sparks on the situation. Nevada has no state troops, and therefore there is no danger of a riot. Spark seems to know this and my impress sion of him was that he would hesi- tate to permit government troops tC enter Nevada because their entrance might mean riot.
 He did seem to favor government intervention as suggested in Presi- dent Roosevelt's message. This by nc means had reference to troops inter- vention. It suggests that a strike or dispute be investigated by govern ment officials, pending efforts to bring about peaceable and satisfactory agreement between miner and mine owner.
 ''I do not believe that there will be any disturbance in Goldfield because the situation there does not furnish such indications

can get more liquor when he buys it

in bottle for less money at the drug

supplies this same dope disguised as
