Here she added to her fame as an emotional actress. During the years that followed she was seen in all of the chief cities of Amer lea and also appeared with success on the English stage. In the early '90's she was compelled by ill-health to quit the stage and since that time she has been prominent chiefly a story writer and tournaH

As was to be expected the Republi- can iingoes are trying to show that the cost of the big fleets jaunt around the world was but little more than the ex- pense of keeping it at home. The Phil adeiphia Press, for example. says the extra cost was "too triiing' for dis cussion. We suppose these apologists would have us believe that these ves- sells burn as much fuel while at anchor as they do when under full steam.

Senator Foraker has fallen into the habit also. He has just finished his Senatorial career and announces that he does not intend to enter politics again "of his own voiition." That means that he is ready to serve the dear people again if they call him. Like many others who make like declara- tions he will keep his ear to the ground to hear the call.

 brooches,
 I hear the droning of the bees, I smell the blossoms of the trees With old playmates again I play. Back in the Land of Yesterday. And once face fairer than the rose That in a twilight garden blows. One face with twin grey stars for eyes, Wherein the lovelight ever lies, Stands out alone from all the rest The face of her I loved the best And I wonder why she went away From that dear Land of Yesterday.

A New Banking Institution

Cresco is to have new banking
institution Citizens Saving Bank
the articles of incorporation therefor
having been filed last week with the
county recorder.
A national bank is not allowed to
make real estate loans and as this
branch of the banking business is very
essential in rural communities, the
directors of the First National Bank
have followed the plan adopted else
where and have Incorporated under the
state banking laws so as to enable this
class of business to be handled.
The new institution will be conducted
in the e.same building as is the First Ma
tional, but with capital stock of $685.
600, which is entirely separate from
the National Banks capital, and with
an entirely different set of books.
The directors named in the articles
of Incorporation and who serve till the
regular election in January, 1910, are
S. A. Converse, H. c. Burgess, B. F.
Davis, w. L. Converse and Ole Natvig
Jr. The officers named are, President
S. A. Converse; Vice President H.
C. Burgess; Cashier ohm Kakac.
This does not mean that Mr.. Kakac
will leave the Treasurer's office, for
the business of the new institution will
devolve upon others until his term as
county treasurer expires, but it does
mean that Mr., Kakac and his estimable
family are to become permanent resi-
dents of Cresco.
To accommodate this new enterprise,
the American Loan and Investment
Company have arranged to enlarge the
building now occupied by the First
National Bank, giving the National
and the Savings Bank all the room now
in the south half of the building. They
will erect one story addition "a feet
in length east of the south half of the
building, and this will be occupied by
the abstract Office. The basement will
be occupied by the Times Office. The
present vault will be greatly enlarged,
with compartments for the Bank, the
post office and the abstract Office.

THE FOUNDATION OF CHRIS.
TIANITY.

At the Methodist church Sunday
the pastor. Rev. J. II. Barr, comment
ed upon the apostles creed, in part,
as follows:
The beliefs enumerated In the
apostles creed are the foundation of
all Christendom. Though in its de-
tailed Interpretation the different
bodies of Christendom may vary
slightly, yet in substance all agree
We all believe in God, not simply
as God but in God, who at the same
time is our Father, and the one whom
We call the all mighty one. We all
believe in Jesus Christ as His Son
and as our Lord. accepting with all
confidence the Bible narration of His
miraculous birth, the Bible account
of His life. death, burial, resurrec-
ton and ascension. Also in the Holy
Spirit, the third person in the Holy
Trinity. Take away this foundation
and the hope of man is blotted out.
Blot out hope and life Is extinct.
We do not attempt to explain the
mystery of the Trinity persons
in the God head-tiie true. living and
eternal God. AB yet man has been
unable to unraveI this mystery. II In

The anti-gambling league appears
to have made good progress with its
work and to be in shape TO hand the
legislature a bundle OF petitions that
will give that body occasion to real
lie that there are a great many peo-
pie in the state who do not endorse
gambling and wish a repeal of the
laws of the state in that respect.
While we still doubt whether the
present legislature will stop gamb-
ling, there can no longer be doubt
but that the movement against the
evil has made much Roadway in the
state and that the next legislature
will do something if this one does
not.

cials gave the names of the dead
passengers as MRS. EUGENE
LYNCH, of Boston, and w. Il.
MOONEY, IA banker, of LangdoR,
n. ID.
The injured We're Mrs. NJ. VI. Muir
ply, wife of the financial agent of
the Union Central Life Insurance Co.
of Grand Forks, ~ D., and Eugene
Lynch, of Boston.
How the passengers of the Repnb-
lie were killed, or the nature of the
injuries to Mrs. Murphy and Mr..
Lynch is not known by officials of the
White Star line, who have communi-
Gated with relatives OF the dead and
injured. Mr.. Mooney and his wife
were bound, with Mr.. and Mrs. Muir
ply, on a pleasure trip from the west
to the Mediterranean and occupied
state rooms on the port side. Mr..
and Mrs. Lynch occupied an adjoin-
ing state room. The company can
not understand how the passengers
were killed or injured in that part
of the Republic, which il Is under
stood, was struck from amidships.
Anxious friends and relatives be-
sieged the White Star offices with in
quiries as to passengers on the Re-
public. Other than brief wireless
messages of Captain Ransom of the
Baltic, which We're made public, no
news was received.
Fitful news of the disaster came
from numerous wireless stations
along the New England coast line.
The story though in bnef. but potent
message, tod how the passengers
OF the Republic and Florida spent
many anxious and uncomfortable
hours following the wreck and not
until all were safe on the Baltic did
they have a feeling of security.
After trarsf of the passengers
from the IL public 10 the Florida,
which had no accommodations for the
400 and more additions 10 her al
ready heavy list. Captain Voltolon of
the Italian ship gave orders to stand
by until further help arrived. An
examination of the Florida showed
that her eutwater and bow had been
crumpled as if she had crashed into
a stone wall and her two forward
compartments were filled with water.
The Florida. however showed no
signs of sinking, though she was
slightly down at the head. 1t was
deemed best. therefore. at a late
hour, 10 transfer not only the Repub-
lies passengers, but all those on
board the Florida as well. Captain
Voltolon believed his passage to New
York would be slow and there were
insufficient accommodations and sup
plies for so many passengers.
