of the leading merchants, who was af-

quarters in this city and the fact that
he had been in conference with Mr.
Taft in Cincinnati. The truth of the
case is that Senator Crane arrived in
Chicago because he was requested by
Mr.. Hitchcock to meet him here at
this time. The real purpose of the
senator's visit is the financial end OF
the campaign work. Senator Crane is
a member of the advisory committee
Hitchcock to consider ways and
means.
Funds Coming in Slowly.
Funds for campaign purposes have
been coming in slowly from the West
end Middle West region and Senator
Crane was asked to visit Chicago and
confer with Fred w. Upham, the as
sistant treasurer of the national com
mittee. AT the same time Mr.. Hitch
cock desired to meet him in confer
ence, as he has met him several times
in the past, to consider phases of the
campaign work.
Chairman Hitchcock arrived in Chi
cago at $3.50 a. m. and went to the Au
ditorium Annex, where he met a mum
ber of men identified with the man
agement of the Western campaign
Ever since the campaign opened Mr.
Hitchcock has been confronted with
complaints that there has not been
sufficient activity. These criticisms
have been difficult to meet for the rea
son, he said, that he cannot take the
public into his confidence concerning
all matters being handled at national
headquarters. 1t has been Mr. Hitch
cocks belief that nothing could be ac
complished by pouring into a state
ammunition directed at the nationa
campaign when there is conflict going
on in the state over some local issue
that entirely overshadowed the nation
al issue. Practically all of Mr.. Hitch
cocks advisers agreed that it would
be the proper policy to settle these
state quarrels before opening the ma
tional campaign and it so happened
that it was in the states regarded as
doubtful that these conflicts were be
ing carried on.
There will be plenty of noise in the
campaign within another week to sui
everybody, Mr.. Hitchcock said. He
refuses to be ruffied by the criticism:

Rhinelander, Wis, Sept. 22.-Gagen

First Bank BANQUET.


The First Bank OF Troy held their
annual meeting Friday afternoon and
in the evening gave banquet to few
OF their friends. This was their second
banquet, having given one just sixteen
months previous. The occasion for the
spread was the banks second anniver-
sary, and the officers were rejoicing
over the excellent growth the institu-
ton has enjoyed. The spread was
given at the Rietmann hotel and was
most excellent one, the management
doing itself proud in an effort to serve
a meal that was complimented by all
present. John P. Vollmer, vice presi-
dent of the bank, was present and after
expressing surprise at the fact that
Troy has a hotel able to give such
creditable service, proceeded to say
a few words about the First Bank Of
Troy. Mr.. Vollmer spoke only few
minutes and then left on the train for
his home. He said that he was graft
fed at the rapid growth the bank had
made, and gave it as his opinion, based
on years Of experience, that the First
Bank Of Troy had made record few
banks could equal, and was today
sound and permanent. President o. A..
Johnson was also present, but confined
his efforts entirely to the satisfying OF
the inner man." Cashier S. A. And
erson responded to the toast, Some OF
the pleasures of cashier" and did
nicely, giving some of his experience
as financier." Postmaster Olson
told about Troy's postal business, and
August Johnson related some ancient
history of the business side Of Troy. P
L. Orcutt responded to the toast
THE biggest little town on earth. .
A. H. Oversmith acted as toast master
and proved himself an apt hand il
that capacity.
The announcement was made during
the banquet that the directors had ad
ded $4,000 of the earnings of the banl
to the funds OF the institution, decid
ing to strengthen the bank rather thai
turn the earnings over to the stock
holders.

Got Caught.

John Toskey, well known in Troy,
has recently come in for some unsavory
notoriety as the following from the
Moscow Star Mirror will indicate:
John Toskey, barkeeper for G. E.
Tonning, proprietor of the Club saloon
on Third street, was fined SOS and costs
by Probate Judge Lukens Wednesday
for selling liquor to Toney Grendahl, a
minor. The complaint was o. M.
Grendahl, brother of the youth to
whom the liquor was sold, and who
gained some notoriety in Moscow a
short time since by his alleged attempt
to commit suicide. The case was a
record breaker for swiftness in melting
out justice. Not more than one hour
and fifteen minutes had elapsed from
the time the complaint was made until
the accused plead guilty and was fined
the amount stated. During this time
two witnesses had been summoned
by the prosecution, and Toskey,
recognizing that a defense would be
futile, expedited matters by pleading
guilty"
