Those deceived by ad in
this column last week. which led
people to believe that Henry Schill-
ing. of Pittsburg, took a course OF
shorthand in Marion, to know the
real truth and that he studied
shorthand elsewhere and not in
Marion. The only Henry Schilling
that ever took a course of short
hand in Marion. took II at the
Marion Business College. After
completing his course he accepted a
position with the American Malle-
able Castings CO., this city, as
stenographer and has been there
ever since.

The National bank call was made
Thursday and the State bank call was
made Friday, both for the same date,
December 8. The condensed state
ments Of the four Abilene banks is
published today and the city has rea
son to be proud Of the showing made.
Not only are the banks in splendid
condition generally but they have
more cash and exchange in proportion
to their deposits than last summer
and more than they have had in many
years. The total deposits of the city
are 1888, ,O58 while the cash, exchange
and bonds held by the banks make
the handsome total Of $44l, ,521, prac-
tically fifty per cent Of the deposits in
the banks. This is a remarkable
showing and is evidence of the sub
stantial condition Of the banks. All
the banks have cash far in excess Of
their legal requirements and it is
doubtful if SO good q condition was

For six weeks Mrs. Fred Meyer Of
ElDorado carriedfive 500 cash In her
waist during the daytime and hid
them in her bed at night, being afraid
to put the money in a bank. Satur-
day morning when she went to get
the money it was gone. Mrs. Meyer
and her husband slept in the bed
from which the money was stolen.
1t is believed someone saw her look
ing at the money before retiring,
watched where she put it and slipped
in and stole it while they slept.

wheat money from bank but could

banks $307, 1858 is in currency and ex-
change; $1SS,66S is in government
bonds, school bonds and other listed
bonds at their market value, as good
as gold.
The late fall is always the time Of
low deposits. The depositors draw
out their money to buy winter sup
plies and to pay taxes and the returns
from the farm products have not yet
come in, For instance, September
LIST, 1906, the banks Of town had $780,
900 on deposit; in the last week Of
November they had $S74,075. They
now have $8S3,058 or 1895 more
than they had year ago.
The loans made by the local banks
have been paid off in proportion to
the decrease in deposits and the liqua-
dation has been q healthy symptom.

Judge Reese and
His Office Seeking

Judge Rees has announced him
self as candidate for congress in this
district. He is on the bench and his
term will not expire for two years.
The people Of the state, embracing
the people Of this congressional dis
trict, have decided and have crystal
lied their decision into constitutional
law, that no man shall be eligible for
any other Office during the time for
which he is elected to the district
bench.
In the face Of that constitutional
provision Judge Rees is q candidate.
In being a cadidate he violates the
law. True, it has been determined
that the house Of representatives is
the sole judge Of the qualifications OF
its members. Therefore, the house
Of representatives may, ia the exer-
else Of its prerogative, seat Judge
Rees II he is elected. But in doing so
the hoase must ignore provision Of
our state constitution.
This power OF the house Of repre-
sentatives does not minimize, or tend
in the least to palliate, the ofiense Of
a district judge in openly and fla
gTAntly violating the state constitu-
tiOnby being candidate for another
Office while be is yet Judge.
Even II he should resign his present
Office that does not qualify him, un-
der the state law, to become q candi-
date for congress. But to hold on to
his present Office and be a candidate
for congress is not only violation Of
law, but 1t is q prostitution Of public
position that should not be tolerated
by the people.
Judge Rees is man Of good repu-
tation. l am told he has made a
good Judge, l. bslieys him to be .
good man. But is oil the worse for a

CARLTON, Dec. 7.-Minta, the ten
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. E.
r. Eliason, was killed almost instantly
Thursday morning Of this week,
in most distressing accident. The
father, innocent cause Of her death, is
distracted with grief. The little girl
was on her way to school. Mr.. Ella
son had loaded a wagon with wheat
and started to town with it. His
daughter got on the wagon to ride as
far as the main road which led to the
school. -
AS they reached this road Mr.. Ella
son heard scream. He turned and
looked back and saw, lying in in the
road, his daughter, with one side Of
her head crushed. He hastened to

1t is very probable that the scream
she gave as the wagon wheel passed
over her head and then died instantly.
Mr.. Eliason can account for the ac-
cident 10 no other way than that when
the road was reached the little girl
attempted to jump from the wagon
but slipped so that she fell under the
wheel of the heavily laden vehicle.
Mr.. and Mrs. Eliason have resided
here for many years. They are known
throughout this part Of the county.

good man and good Judge to violate
the law. 1t establishes a precedent
that makes only for evil.
1t is believed that Judge Rees is a
candidate Of the square dealers, So
called, yet it is quite certain that the
machine inspired his candidacy. His
candidacy originated from certain Sa-
line county politicians, some Of whom
are for Calderhead and others who
want to beat Calderhead.
Bristow has recently received a
valuable sineoure position from the
president. This could come to him
only through Senator Long. No
matter what the appearances are,
man is political fool who does not
know that Bristow could not have
received the appointment except
through the influence Of Senator
Long.
His position is directly under secre-
tary Taft. Long is the champion Of
Taft in this state. Long is the special
representative Of Roosevelt In this
state.
I know certain square dealers In
Saline county think they originated
the idea Of Rees'S candidacy, but they
are mistaken. They did not see the
wires that were hooked ON to them
and cunningly pulled under cover, by
Long, Taft and Roosevelt, through
Fitzpatrick and Bristow.
In the plan Of Rees's candidacy is
involved the judgeship Of the Saline
Ottawa district. Saline county Is to
have the judge.
Less than dozen men In the two
counties have been consulted in this
affair. The people Of the two coun-
ties have not been consulted. The
people Of the district have not been
consulted. [Salina Union.

were very pretty.
