PEOPLES BANK
HAS MADE GOOD
Continues to Grow and Prosper.

Continues to Grow and Prosper.
A stockholders meeting.of the Peo-
pies Bank was held the llth inst.
The seventeen months which the
bank had been in existence closed
most satisfactorily to all those inter-
eSted in it.
A dividend of 4 per cent was de-
clared; Sl5OO.OO was added to the sur
plus fund and the furniture and fix
ture account was reduced S50OOO
which in reality means that S2OOO.OO
was added to the assets of the bank
When the bank was but ten months
old a dividend at the rate of s per
cent was declared and $4,000 was ad-
ded TO the surplus fund. 1t is some
thing unusual for a bank the age
il was to makesuch a showing.
The success which the Peoples
Bank has made has far surpassed the
most sanguinc expectations OF ITS or
panizers. The organizers knew well
the conditions which had to be met II
the bank succeeded They were cog
nizant of the fact that the many fail
ures precipitated by the panic OF 1907
and other causes prevalent at that
time had caused people in general 10
have feeling of miStrust and lack
of confidence in banks. They select
ed rs officers and directors some ol
our best citizens, several of whom
had been previously tried in positions
of trust To inspire confidence and
To give an additional safeguard to
their patrons, they Incorporated into
the bylaws Section l6-No officer or

=. indebted thereto in any sum by a
loan, ovcrdrait or in any other man

ed upon by a recent state bank exam

QUICK JUSTICE IN CASS.
Two Horse Thieves, Paul and
Mcdonald, Sentenced to
Five Years.
Five Years.

The two horse thieves, Paul and
Mcdonald, captured near Old Cres-
cent Hill last week by Deputy Sheriff
Stith, and taken back to Cass county,
waived preliminary before Justice
of the Peace, were arralgned IN CIR
cult court and pleaded guilty and
were given 5 years in the peniten-
tiary.
The Cass County Democrat says:
"The arraignment in circuit court
of two white men on their charge OF
stealing horses, their pleas OF guilty
and their sentences of five years each
in the Missouri state penitentiary is
the climax of little drama Of crime,
in which the first act was staged ON
Sunday night, and the curtain Will
fall on the last act when the culpritS
are dressed in" at the jefferson
CITY prison some time on next Satur'
day. And incidentally, this is about
as quick action as has been taken OF
anything of the kind in this pant o
the country lately.
"The two sentenced men give the
names of c. w. Paul and Charles Me
, Donald. The former is nearly :
! years old, and the latter is about :
years of age. They are sent up nv
years for stealing a team OF horse
from the farm of George +. Scott
|. + near Bolton, on last Sunday night
u They got away with the team and
spring wagon, but were arrested be

Suddath in Butler.

Hon. Jas. w. Suddath made a
scholarly address to respectable SIZE
audience of voters at the court house
Saturdayevening. Mr.. Suddath sad
dress showed study, thought and re-
search. He devoted most of his time
to discussion of the tariff question
and made some telling points against
the iniquitous Payne-Aldrich law. AT
the outset he quoted Cooley on the
Constitution" work recognized by
the courts and lawyers, that to levy a
tax for protective purposes was un-
constitutional, and showed that Con-
gress recognized that decision by
making the enacting clause for all
tariff bills read ''For the purpose OF
raising revenue" etc. He quoted
case after case where manufactured
products of this country have beer
shipped abroad and after paying
transportation charges sold in foreign
markets cheaper than at home. II,
showed how the Republican party
had proved itself the champion anC
friend oftrusts and special interests a
AGAINST the masses. He paid a yer,
high tribute to the ability and higl
moral character of Senator {. {
Dickinson and urged all Democrat
to 90 the polls on February lst, 1903
and cast their votes for Dickinson.
