Daniel w. Wilder Dead
Hiawatha Kan, July 19.-Dan-
iel w. Wilder, author of the
"Annals of Kansas" and wide
ly known Kansan since the early
days of the State, is dead as a
result of injuries sustained when
he walked out of the window of
his bedroom. 1t is supposed he
became confused and mistook the
window for a door, stumbling
headlong into the yard.
Wilder was one of a mum Der
of young newspaper men who
came to Kansas from New Eng
land in 1857, full of enthusiasm
to keep the the State free from
slavery, at a time when men
wrote editorials one day and
argued about them with six
shooters the next-if they lived.
Wilder was born in Blackstone,
Mass, and was brought up in
all the culture which New Eng
land had to offer. At the Boston
Latin School he took the Frank
lin medal, and this had consider
able weight in his choice of a
career, according to the late
Noble Prentis.-The st. Louis
Times.

PRESENT ARGUMENTS.
American Ice Co. Valuation Question
Again Before Assessors.

The question of the valuation OF the
American Ice co. property at Pittston
was again under consideration by the
State Board of Assessors "Wednesday
forenoon when records We're filed by
the American Ice CO. relative to the
expenditures upon the property OF the
company in the town of Pittston since
1902 and the amount of ice shipped
from the kennebec river during the
past 10 years and the closing argu-
ments were presented by Hon. viii c.
Atkins of Gardiner. counsel for the
American Ice Co. and Hon. George w.
Heselton of Gardiner, counsel for the
town of Pittston.
Attorney Heselton contended that
the Pittston property of the American
Ice Co, which includes the John Han
cock. knickerbocker (Smith town.,
Great Falls CLedges). Independent,
Consumers tWeeks), Haynes & De-
witt (Nahumkeag), and Commercial
(Goodwin's Point) privileges and
buildings. had large holding value
from the fact that so many ice houses
on the Kennebec had been burned or
blown down during the past 10 years,
greatly exchanging the value of those
remaining Attorney Atkins insisted
that the valuation placed upon the
property by the town of Pittston
should be fair and equitable compared
with the values placed upon other
property in the town and contended
that the valuation placed upon the
American Ice co. property in the town
of Pittston. $4,000 was extremely ex
cessive.
The basis upon which the Ice Co
wishes the tax assessed is a valuation
of $4,000. The assessors after lis
tening to the arguments of counsel
took the matter under advisement and
the decision will probably he an
nouneed in few days.

More Complimentary
Words For American
State Bank.

We deeply appreciate the many
nice things said about our first
years record when the bank show
ed nearly $4,000 on deposit and
declared an s per cent dividend on
its stock.
All the officers and directors
we're reelected for the coming year,
showing the confidence in which
they were held by the stock
holders. There were no resie-
nations, which means that all the
officers and directors were satisfied
with their connection with the
bank.
But we have just heard from our
corresponding bank in New York
City: the bank that stands behind
us with their millions of money to
furnish us with what we need to re-
lend to the good people of Ben Hill
County. This is what they say af-
ter their first years connection
with US:
'''The statement sent you re-
garding the progress Of our bank
has made is very flatterinG one
and your MANAGEMENT mast feel
very much Gratified at the re-
markabie SUCCESS you have met
with so far, ard you have our
best wishes for continued pros
perity. We have every expect
ancy of being able to comply
with your wishes this cornming
year."
We honestly solicit the business
of every reputable citizen and
especially the FARMERS, for we
are here to do you all good as far
as our means will allow We loan
ed over 100000, the past year and
will be in a position to lend more
than this in 1912 on good, secure d
paper-the only kind we accept.
Thanking each and every one of
our patrons for their assistance to
us and soliciting the business Of
all others who desire to connect
themselves with a bank who appre-
ciates them thoroughly, and we
beg to remain. Very truly yours,
