GERMAN POSTAL BANK PLAN.
Government Decides to Introduces
Check Sysfem.

Government Decides to Introduces
Check System.
The German government has decid-
ed to establish a postal check system
modelled after the Austrian system.
The government proposed the intro
duction of postal checks eight q
ago but Ink reichstag demanded GER,
tain conditions which the government
was unwilling to accept. The present
system is to be put INTO operation by
decree, which will remain in force III
1911. This will give the government
time to accumulate sufficient data TO
serve as the basis for a general la"
on the subject. At present 1t is ini
tended to open check offices in only
nine OF the larger cities. These are
Berlin, Breslau, Cologne, Dantsic.
Frankfort. Hamburg, Hanover, Karls-
rune and Leipsic.
Each person wishing to avail him
self Of the check system regularly must
deposit 100 marks and always keep
his balance up to that sum. He re-
ceiyes a number for his account, which
must be used on all his checks. Pay
ments to his may be made not
only by other account holders. but By
any other person at any ~postofice in
the imperial system. Payments upon
account ma be made by means of so
called pay cards. by ordinary postofice
money orders. or by means Of transfer
orders from other accounts.
An account holder can ask to have
all moneys received at the postofHce
for him carried to his account. He
can draw against his account in MAX
Ing payment to other account holders
or to outsiders. In the latter case the
postoffice will send the money to the
receiver through a messenger. Small
fees will be charged for various forms
of service in connection with the serv-
Ice. They are placed just high enough
to owe the estimated cost of opera
ton. Checks cannot be Endorsed and
passed from one person to another.

PROMINENT FARMER MISSING.
Disappearance of Oliver Nelson Puz
ZIes His Friends.

Disappearance of Oliver Nelson Puz-
zles His Friends.
Quite a sensation la been created in
Bonhomne county by what appears to
be a voluntary disappearance Of Oliver
Nelson, for years one of the prominent
farmers Of that county. AS his family
relations We're of the most pleasant
character and he was a man who did
not drink or otherwise squander money
there is keen speculation as to why he
should have disappeared under such
mysterious circumstances. After dom
ming his best suit Of clothing and tell
ing his wife he was going to haul a
load of hay he made his way out of
thu country. He was last seen at Mo
brara. Neb., southwest OF Bonhomme
county. He had partially disguised
himself by cutting off his mustache,
and when %accosted by an acquaintance
who called him by name, he denied his
identity. Mr.. and Mrs. Bulls. resi-
dents of Sturgis, and parents OF Mrs.
Nelson. ave provided her a home
with them. When Nelson disappeared
it was for a time feared he had been
the victim of an accident and search
ing parties put in considerable time
securing the country for miles around.
