Mark Laughnan
Dead.

Died, at his home, at one o'clock
Thusday morning, March IL, Mark
Laughnan, aged 46. Seldom has it
been our duty to chronicle so sad
death. He was taken sick the first
of the week and passed away in a
very short time. He had been fail
ing for number of years and as
soon as he was taken to his bed little
hope was entertained for his recov-
cry.
Deceased came to Beach about
two years ago from Jackson county,
Wisconsin, where he was pioneer
and where he had been engaged in
the mercantile and stock business,
and of later years in farming. He
was reared and received his educa-
ton in Black River Falls and later
moved to Roaring Creek, where he
lived until coming here. On coming
to Beach he filed on homestead
just east of town, where he and his
family have since resided. Last De-
cember he sold his farm and other
interests in Wisconsin and purchased
the business of the Beach Mercan-
tile Company and had justgot nicely
established when death overlook him.
He was highly respected and much
thot of where ever known and Beach
loses a good citizen in his death.
Deceased leaves wife and adopt
ed child here and three brothers,
William, Dan and John, in Wiscon-
sin, who are expected tonight.
The funeral will take place to-
morrow at ten o'clock a. m. and the
remains will be inferred in the new
Catholic cemetery, it being his wish
to be buried here. The M. w. A.
of which he was member, will take
part in funeral. ).

KEEP MONEY
AT HOME
Minneapolis Leading Banker
Sounds Word of
Warning.

O. E. Naegele, president of the Germa-
MIA bank. calls our attention to one source
of financial drain upon the northwest which
he thinks should be taken into consider.
alton, and remedy applied. In this re-
markable situation" he said, when every
body is prosperous and there is not enough
currency 10 60 round. it is important that
every dollar possible should be kept at home
until the banking business is again on a
cash basis. In the cities this is being done
with good degree of success, sand the
clearinghouse certificates and cashiers
checks prevent serious embarrassment
But out in the country, where there are no
clearinghouse. every dollar boarded or
sent away from home counts double.
AT this time the patronage of the foreign
catalog houses is factor that ought to be
considered seriously. Bytheir owa reports
two of these catalog houses located at Chi
cago. which deal in almost every commod-
ity of use to the home or farm, do bust
ness of $oo, 900, 900 year. This is $780,.
900 for each of the six business days of the
week. This money comes largely out OF
the country towns within radius of 1000
miles of Chicago. These catalog houses
do not sell to Chicago people. 1t is from
the farmers and residents of towns of less
than 5000 population that e5 per cent of
their business comes and at least third of
it is from the northwest. And remember,
too, that there are other catalog houses,
and that the combined business done by
them is at least 5000, ,ooo, 200 annually.
II am informed that all thru the state of
Minnesota this competition of the foreign
catalog houses has been very seriously felt
by the merchants of small towns, to such an
extent that some have been driven out of
business ent;re,;;', -
If this has been the case during the great
prosperity Of recent years, when money
was circulated freely, what must the effect
be now when the currecy is needed at
home? Money spent with the local mer-
chant is disbursed in the locality, at least
the profits on his business are. but money
sent to Chicago is lost from local circulation.
II notice that John ]. Mitchell. president
Of the Illinois Trust and Saving bank, of
Chicago, declares that cash has accumu-
lated in the bank to the amount that war
rants its return at once to the usual meth
DDS of doing business. This banking insti-
tuition is named as the depository of cata-
log house that is said to receive 100000 a
day in postofice money orders alone, to say
nothing of what comes thru the express
money orders and bank drafts. Thisseems
rather significant to me. 1t at least illus
trates one way in which money is accumu-
lating in Chicago banks that is drawn di-
rectly from the country section where it
is badly needed.
Without going into the home trade ques-
ion, it seems plain to me that those who
buy from foreign catalog house at this
time are directly injuring themselves. for
this question of keeping money in home
circulation involves people of all condi-
ions. s."-Minneapolis Jour nal.

be voted upon next Tuesday, March 17th.
About IS per cent of the voters were
present and complete ticket was put in
nomination. The old board of trustees
we're all nominated by acclamation for re-
election. There was some discussion as
to whether MIR. Noble was resident of
the third district and c. E. Barber's name
was mentioned, but he promptly withdrew
in favor of MIR. Noble who was then nom.
mated without opposition. Following is
the complete ticket:
