rational bank which has been talked
of In tnis city for the past few weeks,
Is now a certainty. A sufficinet num-
Der OF names have been secured for
the application for charter, and the
application is now on ats way to Wash
ington. 1t Is understood that the cap
ital stock of the new bank will be
between 100000 and 100000. The
new institution will either occupy the
greensboro Savings Bank build
ing or that of the defunct
Daviess County Bank & Trust
Company. 1t is rumored that
e. T. Farnks, who mas been Collec-
tor OF Internal Revenue for the Sec

Is connected with the new bank and
will probably occupy the office of

and body are strong.
There is a coincidence in his life
worth mentioning. Edward Eisten-
laub was a school mate and playmate
of Uncle Louis" When Uncle
Louis" was twelve years of age he
and Eistenlaub bought some musket
caps from the German soldiers. Els

the sight.
A few years ago John Gorman,wno
was born In Ireland, sold Uncle Louis
hog. When he delivered 1t, Uncle
Louis discovered that he also had
lost his left eye. Questioning him
ne found that German had lost his
eye from the accidental discharge OF
pistol In the hands of Edward Els
tenlaub In Pittsburg. Writing Eisten-
laub, Uncle Louis found MIN to be
his early schoolmate, and he accept
ted an urgent invitation to visit him
He found him wealthy still manu-
facturer anxious to have him remain
with him the rest of his life.
Uncle Louis takes moderate amour
of exercise In the open air every day,
and bids fair to remain with his
friends for many pleasant days yet
to come.
1t is the sincere wish Of the writer
along with his many friends that his
span of life may be heightened out

place occupied by Governor Johnson

Sorrowful Scene at State
Capitol at st. Paul.

People Of Every Walk Of Life Mingle
in the Continuous Stream of Silent
Mourners Who Gathered to Take a
Last View Of Their Beloved Gov
srnor-State Employees Among the
First to View Remains Of the Dead
Executive.
st. Paul, Sept. 23.-All day long and
until far into the night a continuous
stream OF people of all walks of life
viewed the remains of the late Gov
ernor Johnson, which lay in state in
the rotunda of the state capitol,
guarded by a detail of militia.
The rotunda, q scene of black and
solemn gloom relieved only by the
uniforms Of the militia and the Stars
and Stripes, which, separated, hung
from the balcony rail and disclosed
the governors picture framed in the
field of blue, was presently trans
formed into a bower of sad beauty
when floral tributes began to arrive.
There were wagonloads of them--a
stream of tributes which seemed in.
terminable. They were sent by friends,
public and private, and by people who
never knew the governor, but admired
him.
Chief among the early callers were
the employees of the state, clerks and
assistants, stenographers, both men
and women, from the various offices,
employees who in their daily work had
come directly or indirectly with the
governors personality and who knew
him to love him. They passed by in
silence, or now and then with an ex-
clamation of grief and pity. Girls
with tears streaming down their faces,
men with handkerchiefs pressed to
their eyes went from the bier to their
homes inssolemn silence. The event
was their personal sorrow. Death had
invaded their own heart interests.
Guards Keep Line Moving.
AS the people entered to view the
body they were quietly formed into a
line leading around the bier to the
right and out again to the left. A
detail of guards kept the line down
to single file, to prevent a crush, and
as each person passed the guards
again kept the way open for the exit.
A continual stream of people went
In this fashion by the bier and at
noon, when the city was away from
business for the lunch hour, there was
a massing of thousands on the cap

noon and night, when business was at

cation under the dome Of silence and
sorrow.

COAL. AS FUEL.
IL Was In Use as Far Back as the

II Was In Use as Far Back as the
Time of King Solomon.
The first mention OF coal in the an
nails OF mankind occurs in the Bible
Proverbs XVI, 81, as follows: "As
Goals are to burning Goals and wood to
fire, SO Is contentious man to kindle
strife" This was written about 1O1G
=. c., at the time King Solomon came
into power. Part of his dominion was
Syria, and ancient coal mines are
worked in that country today. There
are several other references to coal in
the Bible, all Of later date. Tools
and cinders have been found near the
Roman wall, indicating that the Brit
ons were familiar with the use Of coal
prior to the Roman invasion I'm "a Il. c.
The first actual record of coal
transaction is the receipt for twelve
cart loads Of coal written by the good
abbot of Peterborough, \. -. SD.
Years before the Christian era coal
was in common use I'm China. Anthra-
cite coal is powdered. mixed with wet
clay and rolled into balls. These are
dried in the sun, and the poor use this
fuel in little hand furnaces precisely
as they did centuries ago. Marco Polo
speaks of seeing in 1919 "a kind of
black stone in Cathay that is used to
burn better than wood" Marco Polo's
countrymen refused to believe the
travellers tale.
The earliest historic mention Of coal
In the United States is by the French

There was a certain comic opera

The manager VI the theater offered
very large percentage Of the receipts:
but, oh, dear, no, the willy comedian
