The first results of the Oklaho-
ma law for state guarantee of
bank deposits are proving very sat-
isfactory to the bank depositors 1
A bank failed at Colgate, Okla,
with $4,000 on it's books, $4,000
in it's vaults aud 81, 1000 deposited
in other banks. A commissioners
at once took charge of the bank,
paid to the depositors the money
in the vaults, checked out that in
other banks and then issued war;
rants on the state guarantee fund
which were as good as cash, for the
balance Of indebtedness. The
bankers association of Iowa re-
fused to endorse such system on
the ground that it destroys the
prestige gained by years of judi
cious banking; that this prestige
is a valuable asset to them under
present conditions; that under a
system of guarantee one bank
would be considered as safe as an
other and they would thus lose
their prestige. However this may
be it will take much argument to
convince the depositors in this de-
funct bank of Oklahoma that the
cash in hand that they received is
not much. better than any bank
prestige.

The Sioux City Tribune seems to
have three important missions to
perform-to criticize the republi-
can national platform stir up
party strife in Iowa on account of
the defeat of Gov. Cummins; and
explain to the stalwart republicans
of South Dakota the Importance of
party loyalty and the duty that
they owe to the insurgent candi-
dates. Strange to say the Tribune
doesn't seem to see any inconsis-
tency in it's position.

The weather Of the past week.
has been favorable TO the growth
of corn aud il has made rapid
progress. While We have had more
rain than WAS needed during the
past six weeks those who have trav-I
eled through the country cay that
most Of the corn fields are in good
shape. The greater part Of the
land has been in condition for cul.
tivation and the fields have mostly
been well tended. The corn is a
little smaller than usual at this
time Of the year, but there is an
unusually good stand and plenty
OF time yet to mature big crop.
The bottom lands along the Jim
river have suffered from ovsrfows,
and the crop IN that section will
be nearly ruined.

I bushes near the roadside while the
President and friends were returning
from a horseback ride last Saturday
The President and his companions
galloped away without an investiga.
ton, though the President, it is said,
would have dismounted and gone into
the bushes but for the opportunities
of his friends who dissuaded him from
the purpose. The general opinion is
the shot was fired by some hunter
who was unaware of the President
being about.
Major fWadSwOrth, cousin of the
speaker of the New York assembly,
was the man riding with the Presi-
dent when the shooting was heard,
He says the President remarked that
some one was shooting at target.
Later when both were bathing they
heard other shots. The President
started an investigation and learned
that Jack Roosevelt, son Of w. RooseA
velt, mad been shooting at a target.

alleged to have been intended for the

riding with him were about a hund-

fired, and no one thought for minute
that it was meant for the President,
says Wiednefeld.

Mineola, L: l., Sept. S.-Jno. Cough
while trying to reach President Roose
welt at Sycamore Hill yesterday, was
examined by two physicians today and
pronounced insane. He will be sent
to an asylum at Kings Park, L. l.
Coughlin was disinclined to talk to-
day, yet when arrested he declared
that he was trying to deliver a mes
sage about the criminals who were
shot in the battle with the Boston
police force at Forest Hill cemetery.

Was Another Attempt Made?
Oyster Bay, L. 1. Sept. S.-Sensat-
ional rumors of an attempt having
been made to shoot President Roose-
welt, apparently had their origin in
the fact that the hunting season has
opened on Long Island and there is
lying districts. A close investigation
fails to show any overt act directly
against the President. On his riding
trips it is not unusual for him to en-
counter parties of hunters. Secretary
Loeb said today it was not believed
that anyone had tried to harm Roose-
velt No attention has been paid to
the matter officially he said.

The fire started presumably from:
defective wiring on the top floor az
bout four o'clock and spread with g.
mazing rapidity. There were about
one hundred guests. many of whom;
found all means of egress cut ofh
when they were aroused. At least five
jumped from windows and many
were carried down extension ladders
building is estimated at $4,000.
Patrick Treadwell, fireman or
Cripple Creek, who was sleeping in
the Belmont when the fire started Is:
credited with having saved at least
ten lives by inducing the entrapped
guests to jump from the upper sto
ry windows across five foot alley
to the roof Of an adjoining building
and catching them in his arms. More
than a score of persons jumped from
the windows before the fire depart
ment arrived. In the opinion Of the
department officers the building was
set afire. Within a week a half dozs

participated.
After the parade, which was des,

crowd assembled at the court house

on the long tables the waiting people
were entertained by speakers, includ'

Mayor G. A. Richardson, VIII Robin
son and Elder c. C. Hill.
Upon the announcement that din
ner was ready the tables were soon
filled, and there were many people
to spare. Several times the tables
we're filed and several times the peo-
pie went away satisfied, but still there
were more people. The crowd was
larger than the committee anticipat.
ed, and the meat fell a little short of
supplying the demand. Among the
provisions were seven barbecued
beeves, fifteen ba-becued mutton.
200 gallons of coffee, twenty gallons
OF pickles and five hundred loaves OF
bread. That should have been enough
to feed three or four thousand peo.
Pile. The fact that some people carried
off large pieces of beef as well as
whole shoulders of mutton probably
accounts for the shortage. The meat
was of fine flavor and properly cook
ed, and everyone enjoyed the dinner.
