at the outskirts of Long Prairie by
the w. r. C. and G. A. R. OF Long
Prairie, who escorted the honored re-
mains to the cemetery.
Mrs. Brewers maiden name was
Carey. She was born in Batavia, N.
Y. July %, 1914, and was educated
in the public schools of Batavia. At
the age of %, she was married to
Abraham d. Brewer. Shortly after
their marriage Mr.. and Mrs. Brewer
removed to Ypsilanti, Mich, where
they remained % years, Part of the
time Mr.. Brewer was engaged in the
mercantile line, later, in farming. In
1859 M. and Mrs. Brewer removed to
Round Prairie, Todd county, Minn.,
and settled on farm. At the time
Of the Indian outbreak the Brewers,
along with other settlers, left their
home in search of safety. They tar
ried at Watab, in Benton county for
eighteen months, and then returned
to their home at Round Prairie. Mr..
Brewer died there in October, 1884.
Mrs. Brewer remained on the old
place until 1887, when she went to
live with her son, Walter C. Brewer,
remaining member of his family at
F'aribault. Mimi, until 1903 She then
took up her residence with her grand
daughter, Mrs. Bertha Spears, in
Birchdale near Sauk Centre. Here she
spent the remainder of her life.
The immediate cause of Mrs. Brow

ceived a pension from the government

ly. she came to Sauk Centre to get
her money. On the fifth day of this
month she made the trip to this
city for that purpose. 1t was disa-
greeable day and she took cold which
resulted in the attack that caused her
death.
For a woman of her age, Mrs.
Brewer was wonderfully sprightly.
Some six weeks ago her grandson,
Hon. R. B. Brewer, of St Cloud.
visited her. Just before leaving, af-

Man Who Settled in Sank Centre
Many Years Ago Tells a Tale
of Prison Life

D. s. Hale, who was a resident in
this vicinity in the early days, now
living at Hale's Mill, Va, and who
has occasionally sent communications
to The Herald telling of his expert
ences, sends the following for publi-
cation:
Editor Herald: On April %, 1866,
first reached Sauk Centre. The
stage driver, Frank Darling, took
me and my small family up to the
Widow Hoffman's. Across the little
Ashley lived William Vessey, and
his sons, Thomas, David, Henry, and
| Alan, your esteemed fellow townsman.
Henry, like myself, had recently
been discharged from the Union
army. In giving me his war history,
he said:
Il was captured by the rebels and
put in Andersonville prison. and
two other Union soldiers made our
escape by a tunnel. We became sep
| arated. / never knew what became
of my two comrades
Last week, one night at my home
here, after supper, l had gone up to
my room to read and write some
letters. 1 heard rap on a door
down stairs, but paid no attention to
it. In minute or so the little girl
| we are raising, came up and said:
"a man is down stairs who wants to
stay all night
| went down stairs and found an
elderly gentleman sitting by the fire,
who greeted me with: my name is
Moore. I want to lodge. I have been
turned away at several houses up the
road. am weary and if you will
not let me stay, 1 will have to lie
out all night
l told him l never turned man
away in my life and did not pro-
pose to begin on him. After he had
had his supper, in the course of con-
versation, he said:
Il belonged to the list Pennsylvan-
ia Infantry, and was captured at the
battle of Gettysburg. l was put in
Andersonville prison. and two 9TH
er prisoners escaped by tunnel.
Not agreeing on a course to go we
became separated. got through the
mountains to Cumberland Gap. This

l asked him if he knew their

"Yes, Henry" he replied. Il think
that was his given NAME"
then related to him the long ago
tale of Henry Vessey. So you may
suppose, that We were deeply inter-
ested, that after the lapse of years.
probably one thousand miles from
here some 38 or 80 years ago Henry
vessey should have told me the
same story.
f The morning Mr.. Moore left my
home, he said: 81 am now thankful

and that l fell in with YOU"
Mr.. Moore even described the size,
complexion and other personal ap-
pearance of Henry Vessey, as Henry
appeared to me in 1866.
Henry Vessey is nowliying atGeptry,
Ark, and his brother Alan of.this city
frequently hears from him.

BANK GUARANTEE
FinanCier's Opinion of This I'm
portant Subject
CONSIDERED UNSAFE
Minnesota Bankers Association
Adopts Resolutions at the
Duluth Convention


The Minnesota Bankers Association
at its nineteenth annual convention
at Duluth July 24-25, 1908, adopted
the following resolution, relative to
the proposed plan of the government
guarantee of bank deposits:
Resolved. that we heartily endorse
the following statements made by
Prof Laurence Laughlin, one of
the most noted economists of the
country and recommend them to the
careful consideration of the general
public:
There is no more justice in laying
the depositor's losses, for which he
is not responsible, upon others VINO
are, also, not responsible for the losses
than it would be for A, who has been
robbed by B, to ask that his honest
neighbor C should be robbed to make
un for his loss. No matter how
confidingly A had trusted B, c is not
responsible for AS voluntary acts.
Similarly, The honest and efficient
banks cannot, in Justice, be asked to
make up to depositor in a failed
bank, losses for which the honest
and efficient banks had no response
bility whatever. 1t would be clearly
unfair to hold a small, conservatively
managed country bank responsible for
the 'frenzied finance of some large
bank in great city All reason, all
Justice, demand that the punishment
be inflicted on the doer of the wrong
and not on the innocent neighbor. In
fact, the ethical justification for tax
ing sound banks to cover the lapSes
Of unsound banks has no existence
whatever 1t is morever, a question
whether the courts would enforce such
a law against the rights of property.
Obviously, the deposits of a bank
are as safe as the value of the as
sets in the loan item, no more, no
less. Apart from fraud and stealing,
what is bad banking? Clearly, it is
the lending of too much to favored
o. inside parties; and the inability to
know good from bad paper, and
quick from tied-up investments. Ev-
cry conceivable reward should exist
to bring pressure on banker to
have courage in declining questionable
loans The moment such pressure is
removed, the. opportunity is enlarged
for taking on assets, which, at the
first real emergency will crumble in
value, and leave the depositors unse-
cured even by long and difficult liq-
uidation. Therefore, to relieve the
banker from logical consequences of
his own mistakes, of his own weak
nesses, is to take away practically
the only real safeguard effective on
human nature in a business touching
the trusts of countless financial inter-
ests. The result of such a guaranty
would, in my opinion, tend to put a
premium on the popular and 'oblig-
ing banker; to spread throughout the
country the influence of men who
care more for bigness than safety in
their accounts; to build up credit un-
supported by legitimate trade; and in
the end would bring on financial con-
vuisions proportional in disaster TO
the extent of the doubtful banking.
Not only would it be unjust to meet
the losses of the inefficient, but it
lis poor policy to stimulate the inef-
ficient to try to do that for which
thev are unfit

He sustained injuries which caused his death about 80 min utes afterward It is believed that GoOdale was suffering with temporary insanity when he was killed.
 Goodale's actions this morn ing were very strange. He ask ed one man to shoot him and when seen walking down the railroad track later it was sus- pected that he might try to kill himself, in some way. Efforts to rescue him, however. proved un- successful.
 Coroner Vaughter of Little Rock conducted an inquest over the body late this afternoon The verdict of the coroner's jury was to the effect that Goodale came to his death by being hit by train while temporarily insane due to continuous bad health. It is said that Goodale has been sick for some time.
