Chicago. NAV 22-wiIliam J. Bryan made plea
before the Bankers Club Of Chicago tonight for
emergency currency that would enable state
as well as national banks TO relieve money strin-
gency. and sounded a warning that the people would
demand the government bank unless absolute
security for deposits can be assured them
On the subject of emergency currency Mr- Bryan
said that he believed that this currency should be
issued by the federal government and loaned 20
the banks. One reason advanced for the belief
was that the state bank could De given the same
assistance in time Of need as the government IN
stitution.
Il do not know he said. why state bank
should not be thus aided in the Of relieving
distress In my opinion the state and the national
bank should be placed on the same footing when
it comes TO the question Of securing emergency
currency"
He said that he believed that our present bank
ing system. with 2o0oo independent banks. more
nearly meets the needs Of the people Of this coun-
try than a system like that of the Bank of England
would do. but he declared that the system needed

bank failures. and suggested the necessity for 4
law that would remove this temptation from per-
sons who handle other peoples money II is not

We must provide buIwark, he said not only for

Oh, DEATH!
Where is thy Sting? Oh! Grave,
Where is thy Victory? Young
Wife Of Carlos Hol1enbeck Dead

Though Sunday was bright beau
tiful day, yet some homes and hearts
were filled with much sorrow because
they were over Swallowed by the pail
of death. This was the case out at.
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. F. d.
Searles, whose daughter. Mrs. Carlos
Hollenbeck, had passed away on the
afternoon of Thursday Of last week
after many days of suffering at the
hospital in this city.
They had but recently set up their
household in the home of his brother
in-law, W. F. Griffith from which the
wife and mother who was sister of
Mr.. Hollenbeck, had been carried
away only few months ago. But
what promised long and happy life
has been broken up at the very be-
ginning.
The funeral services were held at
the Methodist Episcopal church Sun
day afternoon and was attended by q.
large number of their friends,-many
more than could be seated in the
church. The services were conducted
by the pastor, Rev. Vedder, after
which burial took place in Arlington.
Heights cemetery.
The following obituary was read by
Mr. Vedder: "Mildred Flay Searles,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. F. D..
Searles, was born in Audubon county,
Iowa, December Z, 1890, and died in
this city March 26, 1908. On Deem
Der II, 1907, she was united in mar
riage to MIR. Carlos Hollenbeck of
this county. This union was of brief
duration for it was but two weeks.
after they had set up for housekeep-.
ing that Mrs. Hollenbeck was taken
i'll with typhoid fever from which she
never recovered.
About two years ago she was con-
verified and united with the Methodist
Episcopal church of Audubon. Dur.
ing her illness she had faith in her
Lord that gave her complete triumph
even in the presence of death. Hers
was indeed childlike faith and con-.
sequently she committed herself so
naturally to her Savior, as she ap-.
preached the shadows.
She leaves a husband, father,
mother, three sisters and one brother
in the depth of sorrow, but not as
those who have no hope. What to-
them is such sadness to her is heaven
ly joy; and what to them is lostness,
to her is eternal gain. She is not
dead but liveth to die no more,
The entire community sympathizes
with the family in. their dark hour
of bereavement.
