What a Change

We often hear men talk of
the changes in conditions in
this country during the last
few years. A man should
have lived way back in the be-

note the difference. Then our
school houses were the log

and the tea her arm.s. with a
CAD to keep the Children in or

Our mails were carried on
horseback in saddle bags, the
letters without envelopes. the

25c. prepaid or colIectable on

the distance travelled. The

Frank Harmon
Killed By Cars

Killed By Cars
Run Over While Switching in
East Yards
Frank Harmon, one of the
most popular young men of
this city, yard master nights
for the c. & N. w. Ry., Co., of
this city was run over at ten
minutes after ten Saturday
evening and died at six twenty
five Sunday morning. He,
with a switchman was switch
ing cars in the east end of the
railroad yards, trying to get a
string of cars in the clear for
No. 8 east bound passenger
when the accident happened.
His duties were to run the
yards, but as several of the
passenger trains were late, he
was out switching with the rest
of the boys trying to get the
yards in shape to let them all
out without delay. Whenever
the occasion demanded, Frank
would get out with his lantern
and do just as much work as
the best switchman.
Harry Withrow was the only
one near where the accident
happened and just how Frank
came TO his death will never be
known. He told Harry that
he would get on top of the
string of cars they were switch
ing and would signal from
there, and for Harry to stay
near the engine, where he
could signal the engineer.
After pushing the cars over
4 he Ninth street crossing they
dumped into another car and it
S presumed that he was knock
ed off at this point and run
over. Marks on the tracks and
ties showed that three cars
passed over his body and was
then dragged for sixty feet.
No one saw him fall and it was
not until a brakeman on a pass
ing train notified Withrow that
someone had been hurt, that
they found him. Withrow ran
Immediately to the scene of
accident and found Frank, ~
ing in between the rails, with
his left leg nearly severed just
above the knee cap. He was
conscious and directed Harry's
movements as to pulling HIM
out and to get a stretcher. He
was taken to the Heise hospital,
where it was found that his
right arm was also broken and
had a cash in the back of his
head. Four doctors worked over
him until six twenty-five Sun
day morning but the shock had
been too great and one of the
finest and nob!est boys who
ever lived, died. His mother
and sister and relatives were
with him during his brief suf-
ferings and though he was suf.
fering untold agonies he would
smile and talk to his mother
and try and convince her that
he would get all right.
Frank Harmon, Familiarity
known by his many friends as
Clutch" was born in this city
on December 6, 1885, and has
liv Il in this city all of his life,
dyi 3 Sunday morning, July 16,
at 6:25. In his death is removed
one of the best boys of this
city. His ambitious and con-
genial nature has made him
one of the few to be looked up
to. Whatever he started to
master in life, he has accom-
plished and had he lived, one of
the highest positions in the c..
& N. w. R7, Co, train service
would have been reached.

GOVERNMENT MAY
 GET AFTER BANKS
Special Nusse, Service.

WASHINGTON. Dec 1.-The gov crnmont bank controller in his annual report states that the government should look into the dishonest methods employed and practiced by many of the national bank officials receiving personal compensation for loans made, over and above what is the regular ate demanded by the banks.
 The controller calls such methods criminal, and reports this state of af- fairs Is growing to such an extent criminal action should be instituted to stop the same. The method invites greater risks on the part of bank officials. for they are after the extra one. two or three per cent demanded above the regular rate for loans asked by the banking institutions for good security
