Markets In New York And Chi
Cago-Going On For tS Years.
Louisville, Ky. Especially August
Ropke, assistant secretary and book
keeper of the Fidelity Trust Com
pany, one Of the soundest financial
institutions in Louisville, is believed
TO have made away with S1,140, 900,
the entire surplus of the concern,
according to a statement made by
John w. Barr, president of the trust
company. Ropke is in the county
jail, where he has been for 10 days
unable TO furnish bail in the sum
of $4,000. Ropke was a heavy
speculator and lost large sums it is
said, in Wall Street and the Chicago
Board Of Trade.
Mr.. Barr's announcement was
made after a special meeting of the
stockholders. Mr.. Barr said that
the stockholders were told that the
capital stock of the concern was in
tact, but that the entire surplus was
gone as a result of the defalcations
The loss will be met by an increase
of stock, as announced several days
ago, aggregating S1,O00,000, which
will be issued to stockholders at par.
The Fidelity Trust Company rep
resents the wealth of Louisville, but
there is apprehension in financial
circles over the outcome of the
shortage. The stockholders have
agreed, it is understood, to sub
scribe the full amount of the new
issue.
August Ropke is a German, about
3 years old. He lived unostenta-
tiously, but began dabbling in stocks
and grain several years ago. He was
successful for a time, but the in
evitable losses followed. Ropke has
been in the employ of the bank for
18 years, and it is understood the in
vestigation into his books will cover
the entire period.
Ropke, because of his splendid
work on the books and his shrewd-
ness in handling deals for the bank,
gained the confidence of the officials
years ago.
About two weeks ago a shortage OF
$4,000 was accidently discovered by
one of Ropke's assistants and the
matter reported to his superiors.
This resulted in Ropke's arrest and
his incarceration on the charge of
embezzlement. He was sent to jail
in default of $4,000 bail and firm
of Chicago experts put to work on
his books. The shortage grew daily
until it reached the stupendous
amount just reported Some of
Ropke's property has been recovered
and turned over to the bank.

BORAH AND FRENCH MEETINGS

A fair sized audience gathered at
The Theatre last Friday night to hear
Senator VIM. T.. Borah discuss the
political issues. While the Senator
was laboring under the disadvantage
pf being quite hoarse, for an hour and
b half he discussed national issues in
his usual convincing and interesting
manner. He reviewed some of the
measures which were passed by the
Last congress, and in referring to the
much abused Payne-Aldrich tariff,
he called attention to the fact that
the duty had been either entirely re-
moved or greatly reduced upon some
thing like 674 articles which come in
to general use In this county, yet he
said he could not recall a single one
Of these articles on which the price
had been reduced by reason of the re-
duction in the tariff. This, he said,
was convincing proof that there are
other causes than the tariff which
enter into the high cost of living to-
day. Many times during his address
the audience showed their apprecia-
ton of his remarks by hearty ap-
plause.
/ On Wednesday evening ofthis week
Burton L. French, candidate for con
gress. and o. V. Allen, candidate for
state treasurer, addressed a large aud
fence at the First ward meeting house
III Paris. The Paris band furnished
lively music for the occasion.
Mr.. Allen does not profess TO be a
political speaker, but in fifteen
minute talk he reviewed the progress
that has been made i'm this state dur
ling the past six years, and called at
Mention to the splendid financial con-
Edition of our state today.
He was followed by Mr.. French,
who discussed national issues in his
usual able manner for an hour oil
more. He assured his hearers that
he is progressive republican and il
Ielected to congress he will be found
Il working with that element, because
as he stated, he believes that the
: needs of the nation today demand
legislation along progressive lines
Mr.. French was listened to most at
tentively, and his remarks wer,
warmly received.
Both Senator Borah and Mr.. French
regretted very much that they wer,
only able to make one speech in thi
county.
