ABSCONDTNG BANKER
SENDS BACK The COIN
Assistant Cashier RENTS $4,000 to The COHanChe
Bank--SayS He Was Drunk And Is
Sorry Now

Comanche. okla, March 20.-An-
other sensation, almost rivaling that
produced Monday night when It was
learned that John Campbell, assistant
cashier Of the First National Bank.
had skipped with over $4,000 in gold
and currency was produced yesterday
when a draft for $4,000 came in from
Denver in the form Of two drafts to
the Waurika National Bank from
Campbell. who accompanied the drafts
with a letter stating that he was drunk
at the time he left and that it was his
desire to right the wrong Of which he
was guilty.
He stated further in the letter that
when he recovered from the drunk and
realized what he had done that the
strain was more than he could stand
and that he just had to return the
money and tell the truta about how
he happened to leave. Had he been at
himself he says such an idea as taking
the money would have never entered
his head, but as 1t stands already a
deed in the past. all he can do is to
rectlfy the awful mis-steD the best way
possible. He kept out few hundred
dollars but stated emphatically that
just as soon as he could he would re-
turn that amount.
Immediately upon receipt Of the let

Sufferers are beginning to realize
that external applications will not rid
the skin of the disfigurements OF ecze
ma. pimples, blackheads, rashes, etc
The remedy must go deeper, to the
seat of the trouble-the blood.
And it is for this reason that the
preparation known as DR.. Taylor's
Remedy has been so successful, and
has become so widely known and used.
This really great blood purifier alb
solutely destroys all the poisonous
germs in the system, that cause skin
blemishes. Its quick and thorough ac-
ton, in even the worst cases of ecz p
ma, has surprised and deligted an
enormous number of patients who had
ldespaired of relief under the ordinary
treatment of physicians and "so-called
remedies. The record of DR.. Taylor's
Remedy is therefore one of unfailing
success. and in it's use is surely found
the secret of a clear, beautiful com
lplexion.

remedy will be mailed free by the Dr.
