the insolvent Columbia Bank ana
Trust company, which failed more
than q month ago, and there remains
more than 100000 in deposits to be

facts are shown in q preliminary state
ment issued by A. M. Young, state

The statement also shows tna1
James Menefee, treasurer OF Okla
homa, owned $4,000 in the stock OF
the bank; that he owed the bank $780,
900, half Of which has been paid ana
the other half has been secured by ad.
ditional collateral; and that total OF
$450,00O Of public funds were In the

secured by specific collateral and part
Of which has been paid. These public
funds included $4,000 Of state treas
ury money, $4,000 Of school funds,
and $4,000 of the guaranty deposit
fund.
When the bank failed 1t had $1,165S
TAT Of individual deposits, and $685.

In the next four years New Yorh

The p.p,omatic Druexs.t.

A certain druggist who does not like to answer night calls, especially as he has found by experience that he of fends people who call him up at night by his displeased abrupt manner. has devised scheme by which he does not have to get up and at the same time does not lose customers. In his own words he works it this way:
 q disconnect my bell so that 1t can not ring. After waiting some time the person who wants to get in gives it up as bad job and goes down the street to the next store. This man opens for him, but is naturally very much dis pleased, and, as usually do, he shows that he is disgruntled and offends the customer. Early the next morning the customer calh at my store to inform me that my bell is out of order and tells me what low opinion he has of the other druggist. whom he considers a very impolite man. .'-New York Times.

ELLSWORTH OPPOSED LIKEWISE RICHARDS
New Manager and Captain Chosen By Crane No. 1
 Baseball Team
ACTION A BIG SURPRISE

Hello! What's this? George Tan quay Ellsworth deposed as manager of the Crane Valve co, No. team of the Industrial league. Is such a thing possible after three seasons of faith full services, one as chief rooter, and ether two as leader and adviser. Yet, the members of this years club at a secret meeting held Monday afternoon, threw genial George down, and elect ed Benjamin Stewart as their leader for the rest of the season. This was not the only decapitation arrived at as Captain Dutch Richards was sup planted by Flank" ODay, the crack third baseman in the league.
 The players have advanced several reasons for the throw down" of George, the showing of the team. the harmony which did not exist, and last but not least Ellsworth stand in the Yost matter, it being alleged that after verbally agreeing to the Yost's using Regnery. he voted opposite in meeting: the work of Assistant Manager Joe KenneH and have retained him. Stew art the new man, has been playing championship team of 1907, the first year of the Industrial League. It is not known whether the news of the new leader has reached Ellsworth as yet, as he is way off in the wilds of Kent, hunting blue berries. A com munication notifying him of his de- posal has been forwarded to him, signed by most of the members of the team.

BILL M'CLELLAND
 A BIG SURPRISE
Winner of One Mile Novice Had Been Training Only
 a Short Time
Interest In Coming Meet

After the splended showing of the r. M- c. A. relay team at the games of the United Irish Societies at Stee- plechase last Saturday, the stock of the local institution as a possible win ner of the point trophy at the coming Y. M. c. A. championships at Seaside Park on Sept. IS. has gone up consid- erably. The men, though not yet trained up to top notch form. ran like veterans last Saturday. They were pitted against the relay teams Of Hartford and Torrington, and, assun- ing a commanding lead on the first relay and drawing away bit more on each succeeding one. won out with snap that stamped them as ''com- ers.'' 4, m
 The work of William McCIelIand in winning the one-mile novice and then later being the first Bridgeporter to finish in the three-mile, was particu- lar1y gratifying to the local athletic sharps. "Bdll" a few months ago a runner. but by training conscien- tiously all summer, is now beginning to climb into the limelight.
 Letters from every Connecticut city are pouring into the Y. M. c. A. and show the enthusiasm with which the championship meet on the 18th is be- ing received. New Haven has a fast team, their captain, McKeon, being one or the IdSleSI mile runners rSSio- ing in Connecticut. He is a member Of the New York Athletic Club and has a record of minutes 30 3-5 sec onds for the mile. One of the mem bers of his team has been credited with 10 4-5 seconds for the 100 yards. Meriden Y. M. c. A. has a distance runner who recently ran ten miles on a poor track in 1 hour and 2 minutes. If three mile run is added to the program of championship events on Sept. IS he will undoubtedly start as the favorite. MT. H. H. Reinhaldt, physical direc- tor of the Bridgeport association, has returned from his vacation and has taken active charge of the training at the field every Tuesday and Thurs day evening.
