in Grand Rapids, that bankruptcy
does not threaten that town, and
that something is being done a that
hub of Wisconsin to turn out cur
rency. In other words, the financial
strength of their banks in a place
no larger than Grand Rapids is at
the present time, proves the pros
perity of her commercial institutions
strength and productiveness of the
soil by which she is surrounded, as
all this money has not been made
in manufacturing plants by any
means, but much of it has come
from the soil through the sturdy la
bors of Industrious agriculturists,
who are becoming wealthy on pro-
ductive farms in this section.
The officers of the Wood County
National Bank are: F. j. Wood, pres
ident; L. M. Alexander, vice-presi-
dent; Guy o. Babcock, cashier.
Of the First National Bank: Geo.
w. Mead, president; Edward Lynch,
vice-president; Earle Pease, cashier.
Of the Bank of Grand RapidsJ
Isaac P. Witter, president; Geo. w.
Mead, vice president; E. B. BEDFORD,
cashier.
The Bank of Grand Rapids is To-
Gated west of the river and the other
two on the east side.
A cut of the First National Bank
building appears in these columns. 1t
is a beautiful structure and an orna-
ment to the city. T he Wood Coun-
ty National has received bids. for a
new building, which will be erected
on the northeast corner of Second
and Vine streets, directly opposite
their present location. 1t will be
imposing in appearance, modern in
equipment, thoroughly up-to-date in
every particular, and will fairly
reflect the progressiveness and COM
mercial strength of this great institua
ton, which is the Oldest of it's kind
in the city.

Of appearance from his vast power,
Sem was a Diogenes, with his Ian
tern constantly searching for new
truths. He was Socratic teacher
instructing from the oracleS and solid
ground of nature.
Senn's essential characteristics
were marked originally, unbounded
genius and persistent industry. He
grew great by industry. Greatness is
a growth. His genius was, uncom-
promising industry, his fame vas
from labor, his reputation was found
ed on work.
Work dominated his career and we
will reap the harvest of his toll
Simple greatness grew in Sem as
in Hunter, Jefferson, Lincoln, Bacon,
Socrates. He had a profound but
modest nature.
Sem had the discernment to build
on the solid ground of nature which
lives forever. He possessed a mar
velous power of observation and the
rare gift of solving problems during
D.
mentation the important elements of
progress and with him experimental
ton displaced traditional authority.
Sem was a genius unbounded by the
ordinary standards His flights OF
thought were frequently grand, not
cabined, cribbed or confined by or
binary environments. He had a
ceaseless active mind. His soul of
progress was industry.
He was the architect of his own
marvellous success and universal
fame. Sem had a fertile, fruitful
brain.
Sem was quiet man of simple
life and habits, not given to talk,
but dwelt much alone in the seren-
ity of his own thoughts He counsel
led much with his own mind as
strong men are wont.
He keenly analysed phenomena AMI
keenly realized the facts at hand
His memory was so tenacious that
he could read a book and repeat
practically it's essentials. He had no
use for theaters, clubs athletic
games or social functions. He was
always ceaseless, tireless student

studied men and methods the world
over, he lived an intensely active
life; we are lonesome without him
DR.. Sem could have received all
ovation in every land, but he con-
stantly avoided this form of publicity
During over two decades of in
innate acquaintance, never once did
hear him claim priority of discov-
cry, advocation or invention. He was
tolerant and credited his rival col
leagues.
Sem was conscientious as to duty.
He shirked no obligations, asked no
quarters and claimed no favors
He was confident that his labors
rested on the solid ground of nature
and were his exponent. Sem was
ambitious for honors and achieve.

BANKS OF GRAND RAPIDS.

The following article is taken from
the Jobber and Retailer published in
Milwaukee this week in it's write
up of Grand Rapids
There are three banks in Grand
Rapids, all financially strong, doing
a prosperous business and enjoying
the utmost confidence of her citizens.
They are the Wood County National
the First National and the Bank OF
Grand Rapids. The following figures,
compiled from the last annual re-
port of each, will give some idea
of their commercial strength and re-
fleets perhaps better than anything
else would the wealth which is to
be found in this little city, which
has attracted to herself in recent
years SO many great manufacture
veal, and which holds out induce
ments to other like institutions Sec
ond to no other city in Wisconsin,
and is destined certainly to become
a city of considerable magnitude.
These banks combined have on de-
posit s1,742,2O8, surplus s125,o00, un-
divided profits $24,424.11, while their
total assets amount to 81, 066, 206.50.

DRY. The great teacher of teachers

The American Socrates has de-
parted May no suffering, sorrow or

ments-he had a passion for author
ship, he was soul of promptness. His
devotion to his chosen profession was
an inspiration to his fellows.
AS a man he had no superior. He
was charitable toward the weak and
poor.
Sem possessed unlimited power to
grasp the essential of his subject to
suggest to students the practical
trend of the matter at hand, to i'm
press the characteristic of the dis
ease indelibly on his hearers.
AS a skillful diagnoStician, a deX-

er, Sem was the worlds sceptered
physician.
Sem made the age in which he
lived progressive. The signs of pro-
gress are the changing of questions
and the shifting of grounds. DR..
Sem put old questions in new forms
and discussed old grounds on new
principles. The progressive tendency
perVaded his life. He saw in the
progress Of life unlimited possibility.
The advancement of every age is
marked by some distinguished char
acteriStic.
DR.. Sem boldly distinguished be-
tween truth and error. individuals
like Sem make the progress Of the
race possible. The individual is the
center of growth and change, the
regulator of movements, he is the
handspring and pendulum of progress
Through the individual efforts of DR..
Sem the characteristic progress of
American medicine may be discerned.
The glory of America consists not
SO much in her rigid laws as in her
conditions for individual growth and
the stimulus she offers for independ-
ant effort. The progress of the race
demands bold, individual men who
will assert the truth from original
research.

bounded energy and unconquerable
perseverance. He possessed the rare

THE LYMAN TWINS
PLEASE AUDIENCE

Despite a raging snowstorm pre-
vailing, a fair sized audience greet
ed the Lyman Twins at Days Opera
House Thursday night. Those who
attended report the entertainment ex-
cellent throughout; the singing, drills
and dancing were of the best and
the entertainment given was far SUI
perior to other entertainments of
this kind which usually come to
this city. The program consisted of
specialties that were unique and
pleasing, and clean and refreshing.

Income Of $4,000.

Pittsburg. April 26.-Declaring that
they had been disobeying the word of
God by charging rent for pews in their
S750000 house of worship, members
of the East Liberty Presbyterian
church. the richest congregation in
Pittsburg, voted unanimously to abOl
ish this practice and to throw the pews
open to the public without reservation.
The scripture bearing on the ma ter

as follows:
Upon the first day of the week let
each one Of you lay by him in store,
as God hath prospered him, that there
be no gatherings when l come"

There are five American women quar-

who has been sending out appeals for
help; Miss Virginia A. Billings and
Miss Bowman. The authorities have

HEART BURIED WITH WIFE
Minister'S Request, Made Before His
Death, Is Carried Out.

Newburgh, N. Y, April 26. A
strange horror of being buried alive,
which seems to have been characteris-
tic of the Prime family for three or
four generations. was responsible for
the burial of a mans heart in the
grave with the remains of his wife,
who died thirty-two years ago. The
strange burial took place in Cedar Hill
cemetery.
Rev. DR. Wendell Prime died in
Switzerland in 1908. Pursuant to a
wish expressed to friends before he
died an autopsy was performed, in &C
cordance to the family custom, to
guard against premature burial. His
heart was removed, also. according to
a wish expressed before his death,
and placed in a leaden box, sealed and
this in turn placed in an iron case.
The case was brought to Newburgh
and inferred in the grave where the
remains of his wife are buried

THOUSANDS MASSACRED
25,ooo Dead In Adana and Other Places

Beirut, April 26.-The situation in
Asiatic Turkey is one of extreme grav-
ity. How many thousands have been
massacTed cannot even be estimated.
because the disturbances have been so
widespread that it is impossible to Sc
cure details of the happenings during
the past ten days. The latest estimates
of the number killed in the villayet of
Adana reaches approximately $4,000,
and thousands have been done to death
in the towns and other districts. The
state of siege which several places are
undergoing has brought their inhabit-
ants to the verge of starvation, and
each day brings it's tales of further
atrocities and the depths of misery
and despair to which the savagery of
the fanatics has brought the people.
Several warships are now in these
waters. but the disorders are so far
reaching that the efforts of the powers
to restore normal conditions have as
yet hardly been felt
One of the missionaries at Alexan-
