The First State Bank OF Alma viii
Have New Cashier
c. /. WAsHBURN THE Man
The Bank Was Organized With Capital OF
$4,000 Thirty Years Ago

The First State bank of Alma will
soon have a new cashier. c. H. Wash
burn has been appointed to fill the
position which was left vacant at the
death of Ely Brewbaker some months
ago and which has been filled in the
meantime by one of the banks first
stockholders, G. S. Ward. The pro-
motion of Mr.. Washburn to this re-
sponsible position is source of great
qualification to his many friends
among the business men of the city
as he is a young man who richly de-
serves this success and is one who
because of his pleasant method OF
doing business has made himself solid
with the banks numerous customers.
The First State bank was estab-
lished in 1880 as a private bank with
a capital of $4,000 There were six
stockholders at that time. w. s.
Turck, w. E. Winton, J. H. Seaver,
c. E. Webster, A. B. Rarragh and
John Lewis were the six men who
furnished the money with which the
budding institution carried on its
business. Alma was then a village
and most of the banks patronage
came from the farming districts sur
rounding the little town. G. S. Ward,
the present cashier, was made cashier
Of the organization, although at that
time Mr.. Ward had no stock in the
institution.
This organization lasted for three
years and then a reorganization was
effected Lewis Darragh and w. E.
Winton withdrew from the bank, the
institution then being composed of
w. S. Truck, A, w. Wright, G.. S.

known as Turck, Winton and COM
pany, but on being reorganized the
name was changed to that of w. S.
Turck and company. During the life
of this company G.. S. Ward was the
cashier at all times. 1t was stall a
private bank at this time and it was
not until nine years ago, in 1901, that
it was brought under state supervision.
its name changed to the First State
bank and a general reorganization
again brought about At the time of
its becoming state bank its capital
stock was increased to $30,0O0

signed his position as cashier on ac-
count of his health failing him and

MODERN kACCABEES

Friday and Saturday Of This Week Days for
Reinstatement

A matter of great interest to the
Ladies of the Modern Maccabees is
contained in the announcement of
Transfer Day" for all members of
this order. 1t, is also of special sig
nihcance to suspended members.
From authentic information, it is
learned that under a recent diSpensa-
ton, suspended members do not have
to pay their arrears for per capita tax
or life benefit assessments and are
permitted to re-instate most advan-
tageously at the present time. This
is certainly good news for these mem
bers as it must be to all others who
are interested i'll the success of this
great women's society, the Great
Commander of which is our neighbor,
Mrs. Frances +. Burns of St. Louis
All member has to do is to call on
Mrs. Burns at her Office in St. Louis.
November rs or 20, and bring with
her the old certificate and her first
receipt if she has it,
Mrs. Burns has just returned from
most satisfactory trip through the
western part of the state and reports
most gratifying condition of affairs.
AS soon as members thoroughly
understand what the new change in
rates means, she said, they have not
hesitated to at once transfer TO the
new schedule. Their lack of informa-
ton of the meaning of these changed
rates has caused many of our members
to hold back, but as soon as they
understood them, our members were
entirely satisfied.

cashier. John Knoertzer was ap-
pointed teller at the same time. Upon
the death of Ely Brewbaker, some
months ago, G. S. Ward was again
called to the position of cashier until
some further definite arrangements
could be made. AT the same time that
Mr.. Ward assumed the Office of CASH
ier, c. H. Washburn, up to this time a
clerk in the bank, was made the as
sistant cashier. However, MIR Ward
had no intention of retaining the
Office which carried with it SO much
responsibility and labor permanently
and at the last annual meeting of the
stockholders held last September Mr..
Washburn was definitely chosen as
cashier and John Knoertzer as assist
ant cashier
The growth of the bank to its pres
net size has been steady and con-
sistent. Starting as it did thirty years
ago in what is now Wheaton's drug
store, it has developed with the city
and as a part of it. When the Wright
house was first built a portion of it
was planned especially for the con-
venence of the bank and Immediately
upon completion of the building the
banking firm of W. S. Turck and COM
pany moved in. AT present it is
doing a most excellent business, its
latest report showing its resources
to total nearly $500,0OOO0. It's Off
GERS and stockholders are among the
strongest business men of the city.
A. w. Wright is president, w. S.
Turck is vice president and as has
been said, Messrs. Washburn and
Knoertzer are cashier and assistant
cashier respectively. It's directors are
Messrs. Wright and Turck and G. S.
Ward, L. A. Sharp, Francis King and
p. M. Smith.
With the new cashier at the helm
there is no reason why the affairs of
the institution would not be conducted
in the future as they have been in the
past, with the wisdom and carefuness
of hardheaded experienced business
men.

Evangelistic Meetings.

Evangelist Edward Clutter and wife
of Lincoln, Nebraska, will conduct a
series of evangelistic services in the
G. A. R. hall of this city for a period
of FIVE weeks in the very near future.
Mr. Clutter comes here under the
auspices of the Church of Christ which
processes no creed but the Bible, no
leader but Christ. The gentleman and
his wife will treat such subjects as
"How to read and understand the
Bible" "What if the Devil should
come to Alma? What if Alma should
go to the Devil?" and "What if Christ
should come to Alma? What if Alma
should go to Christi"
Mr. Clutter has just closed series
of successful meetings in Clearwater,
Kansas. Here fifty-three additions
were made to the church which he
represents. An enthusiastic farewell
was given him and his wife last Mon
day at the Kansas town in the way of
reception. The dates for the local
meetings have not been definitely de-
termined upon but it is assured that
he will be here at least by next Sun
day to commence the services.

KILLS THOUSANDS
10000 to $4,000 Gases of InfantiIe
Paralysis in the U. S.
LARGE PER CENT FATAL
OF Every 100 Gases IS Have Died and 90 Have
Been Permanently Crippled

The most alarming danger to the
children of this country today is the
rapid spread of the disease known as
infantile paralysis. According to an
article in Hampton's Magazine for De-
cember there are from 10000 to 25,-
600 cases of the disease in the United
States at present, and authorities place
the minimum number of cases since
1905 at 100000 The article is writ
ten by DR.. Jacolyn Manning, who was
trict Medical society and in charge
of the work of stamping out the epi-
demic there. During the past year
DR.. Manning has made a speciality
of the study of infantile paralysis and
her field has been national in scope.
The following extract from her article
shows the fearful ravages of the di-
sease:
"This disease, infantile spinal
paralysis, has prevailed in epidemic
past four summers. In 1907 it swept
the North Atlantic seaboardf In 1908
Wisconsin was visited by an epidemic
of 500 cases reported by me. The
Massachusetts, epidemic of 923 cases
in 1909 was reported by DR.. Robert
reported 800 cases for the summer of
1910, Rhode Island, Minnesota, Iowa,
Lovett, of Boston. Pennsylvania has
the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Wash
ington and Idaho-all have paid fear
full toll, while other states have not
not been exempt.
Statistics are difficult to get as the
disease has been placed but lately on
the reportable list by the boards of
health of the most seriously menaced
states. a conservative estimate from
authoritative sources places the mini
mum number of cases since 1905 ut
10000 There are from 10000 to 25,-
600 cases in the United States at pres
ent. OF every hundred cases fifteen
resulted in death, ten completely re-
covered. and sixty or more were left
with permanent paralysis of one or
more limbs. This means that six or
seven children in every ten attacked
by the disease, are doomed to go
through the years without the COM
plete use Of their bodies, small per-
centage with both legs useless, some
with a leg or an arm withered. some
with feet dubbed and misshapen-
but all handicapped in some degree
for the race of life"

SERIOUS ACCIDENT
May Carter Had Arm Broken In
Two Places

A nervous colt, which was frightened
by cat crossing the street was last Sun
day evening the cause Of serious acci-
dent in which Miss May Garter sustained
several serious injuries.
Miss Garter who is employed at
the Arcadia hotel, spent Sunday with
her mother near Vestahurg She re-
turned to Alma accompanied by a friend
whose name is Fred COrder at about
1890 Sunday night. Driving to the
front of the hotel, throwing the reins on
the dash board and leaping to the
ground Corder was about to assist Miss
Carter 20 alight, when cat scurried
across the street, frightening the four
year old colt. Before Corder could grab
the reins the frightened animal sprsng
into the air, throwing the lady to the
sidewalk Her left arm was broken in
two different places near the shoulder.
After leaving the buggy hanging TO a
hitching post and brea' ing two
windows in Chedesier's grocery store
the animal bounded down the street and
was later found about half a mile from
town tangled in the harness. Because
of recent vaccination the broken arm is
in more serious condition than would
have been otherwise. At first it was
thought blood poison would set in, nee
cessitating amputation, but due to the
prompt and efficient work of the doctor
it is now thought that her arm will be
saved.

The Men Who Did 1t

Sixty-three counties in this state re-
ceived back more primary school
money this year than they paid in
taxes. while 20 counties pay more to
the state according to figures made by
Auditor General Fuller These latter
counties pay total of $433, 3,56655 into
the state treasury in excess OF their
apportionment of primary school
funds, while the 63 receive 81, ,296,
0l0.4S more than they pay, leaving a
net balance of $780,, 2,44393. which is
sent out through the state for the
schools, more than is sent here for
state expenses. 1t is noticeable that
the older counties of the state are
the ones which have the wrong bal
ance. The list is as follows: Branch,
