The Merchants Bank has sent out
notices to it's stockholders announc-
ing the regular annual meeting, to be
held at it's banking rooms on October
16, 1908. Considering the financial
stringency of the past year and that
the period in question has made
times hard with the banks, the Mer-
chants has done exceptionally well,
and there will no doubt be healthy
dividend declared for those fortunate
to hold stock in this thriving young
concern. The bank will close it's
fifth year on the date of the meeting,
and ever since its opening Mr.. Geo.
r. Rea, assisted by Mr.. John b.
Spotorno, has been it's cashier. No
meade of praise too great can be said
of Mr.. Rea in behalf of his untiring
efforts for the banks success and in
a measure largely due to his own in
dividual attention can be attributed
this success. Mr. Spotorno, too, has
given his undivided attention.; his
work has been unceasing and his
duties at the bank are always of the
very first consideration.
Circuit Court convened in this city on
Monday morning, with w. H. Hardy on
the bench and P. B. Harrison repre-
senting the State. The docket is not
an extraordinarily heavy one, but, while
the court has been active, the work is
such as to consume much time, and the
session will go over to next week. The
report of the Grand Jury, together with
the deliberations OF the court, both civil
and criminal, will appear in The Echo
next week.

Dear Sir:
There are no secrets in this cam
paign. Strictly practicing what he
breaches, Mr.. Bryan would not win
victory with tainted money paying
the election expenses.
Not dollar is to be accepted
which requires any promise, either
express or implied, other than for
HONEST, IMPARTIAL GOVERN
MENT.
MIR. Bryan. will enter the White
House absolutely free from the en-
tangIing alliances, free to serve all
classes of honest citizens alike, or
he will not enter it at all.
Hence the. course is plain. The
campaign Of Bryan and Kern must
be conducted by the people.
ThepeopIe must pay the necessary
campaign expenses if they want pub
lie servants who will serve their in
terests.
Special interests and favored clas'
ses, having secured "SWOLlEN
FORTUNES" by purchasing favors
in the past with MILLIONS CON-
TRIBUTED TO CONTROL ELEc-
TiONS, Stand ready to give MIL
LIONS MORE FOR CONTINUED
FAVORS. But that class never gives
a dollar unless it buys pledge.
Mr.. Bryan says, from March 4th,
1909, "LET THE PEOPLE RULE"
This can come only if the people
pay their own bills, and control their
own elections.
"BEWARE OF THE TRUSTS
BEARING GIFTS"
That policy of the favored few
buying a mortgage on the Govern
ment meant that the candidate for
President knew few people only in
an entire State.

cause of PEOPLES RULE home to

able to trace any of the stolen prop
erty. During the past week, however
the Davenport police department has
succeeded in obtaining enough evil
dence to justify an explanation from
Heller. The Rock Island road has also
complained of similar thefts, and
doubtless there has been a systematic
job of stealing going on at night in the
local railroad yards. How far Heller
has been implicated remains to be
proven.
Solves Years Mystery. Detective
John Quinn helped solve years mys-
terry Saturday. 1t was something like
year ago that young lady here in
Davenport missed a fine pearl and dia-
she heard of another girl whose sister
had mentioned her having had such a
watch presented to her. Detective
Quinn was called in and told the facts.
He called on the mother of the girl,
who said her daughter had brought
hume SUCH WdlCH, Saying llieHu
had given it to her. She had never
known her daughter to lie, was sure
she wouldn't. and was indignant that
, the police should show any interest in
the matter. The detective was inter
ested enough to insist on seeing the
watch. But the lady didn't have it.
She referred him to her husband. The
husband, it proved, had pawned the
timepiece So Detective Quinn accom-
panied him to the pawn shop, where
the watch had been put up for $50. II
was the identical watch which had
been missing for year, and the chain
of circumstances left no doubt as to
what had become of it. Now its right
full owner has it again.
