50-year-old farmer of Flushing, who
disappeared on the night OF Jan. 3.
1908, was found In the Flint river near
Montrose, Friday, by three Indians,
Frank Davis, Alexander Jackson and
john Williams. of the village OF Tay-
mouth, who were trapping, and one of
Tie most mysterious affairs that ever
eooarreA - the vicinity has thus been
cleared up. II has been the belief of
many since the disappearance that
Morrish had been foully dealt with,
but the finding of the body establishes
the accidental drowning theory which
has been generally accepted.
A scar on the forehead is explained
by a physician as being caused by the
rubbing of the body on the stones on
the river bottom. When taken from
the river the body was almost COM
pletely encased In a slime caused by
the action of the water In which II
had lain so long, and was identified
only because of missing toe on the
right foot.
On the night OF Jan. 8, 1908, Nor
IRISH started for his home from Flush
ing, where he had spent most OF the
day, during a severe rain and sleet
storm. At point a short distance
from the village the road on which he
was walking makes sharp turn al
most on the high bank of the river,
which at that time was running bank
full from the heavy rains. Ii is be-
lieved that the old man became con-
fused in the darkness and storm and
instead OF turning walked straight on
into the river and was drowned.
For months after his disappearance
searchers patroled the river banks
and the stream was dragged from
Flushing to Saginaw, but without re-
suits. A large reward was offered,
and after the unsuccessful search OF
the river the officers have been work
ing on the foul play theory.

well-known druggist here at home,
when asked regarding this prescription,
stated that the ingredients are all harm
less, and can be obtained at small cost
from any good prescription house phar-
macy, or the mixture would be put up
il asked to do so. He further stated
that while this prescription is often pre-.
scribed in rheumatic Affections with
splendid results, he could see no reason
why it would not be splendid remedy
for kidney and urinary troubles and
backache, as it has a peculiar action
upon the kidney structure, cleansing
these most important organs and help
ing them to sift and filter from the
blood the foul acids and waste matter

News From a Lively Town.

Signs of spring are at hand on every
side and every one is beginning to feel
better for it. Everything points to q
prosperous summer to come. Riverdale
ought to make bigger showing than
ever this year. Several business men
are planning on charging their quarters.
A number are expecting to put up
handsome residences, and there is the
early prospect of more business firms
locating in the village.
But while these will of course be well
come it is well to bear in mind the old
reliable firms already here. There is
not a merchant in the village who is
not carrying bigger and better stock
today than he ever did before. Keep
this in mind when you are thinking Of
buying something. Spending your
money at home will help your merchant
as we'll as yourself After the long hard
winter through which many have been
obliged to accept credit it is ohly fair
to give your home merchant your cash
trade.

been under the impression for some

that underlying its various and muI-

While Colorado has suffered little,
comparatively speaking, from bank
defaIcations and failures, yet If only
in a precautionary way, our people
are vitaIiy Interested In the propos.
ed legislation to safe guard deposit
guarantee bills under consideration
by the Colorado legislature. These
bills differ only in one particular.
The first bill is a close copy of the
Oklahoma law and provides that one
per cent Of all deposits Of all the
banks be set aside as a guarantee
fund and that all loses sustained
are to be assessed against this COM
mon fund, thus compelling every
bank to contribute its pro rata to-
ward the adjustment Of all losses sus-
tanned through the mismanagement or
the eriminaIity Of all other banks.
The second law is moulded after
more conservative and we'll tried
statutes Of Massachusetts, and New
anu tUdI CdCU
bank set aside 10 per cent Of it's
deposits, thus creating an individual
fund for the adjustment Of the In.
dividuaI losses Of that Individual
bank. We believe that justice as
we'll as expedieney favors the latter
plan. Both Of these methods have
been tried In other states and Colo.
RADIO should not fail to benefit by
shelr experience. In Oklahoma where
.he mutual guarantee has been In
force there is consensus Of opinion
that not only has the mutual plan led

banks but that the whole banking
system Of the state Is seriously
threatened by this unfortunate pro-
vision. The bank guarantee fund
