shot and killed his father, Peter Drost
at their dairy near North Bend, said

Some men are afraid of
success and when it comes
and takes them by the hand
they draw back in a kind of
panic and cannot, of their
own free win, be induced to
lay their fingers on the
treasure before them.
\ And some men, as Mark
Hanna once remarked,
wouldn't know a good bust
ness proposition if they saw
it on the street corner.
Then, again, some men
lose by believing too much,
while countless thousands
never know success by be
ieving too little.
The open minded man of
Judgment and action is the
man who knows success.
Success in life is measured
by a mans investments.
Now is the favorable time
to invest In FL Paso real es-
tate. FL Paso real estate is,
in some respects, a more
staple investment than gold,
because the production of
gold fluctuates.
Gold has decreased in
value nearly 40 percent in
the last Is years, while all
the time Ell Paso real estate
has consistently increased in
value and will continue to
increase so long as popula-
ton increases.
Splendid opportunities are
everywhere in Ell Paso, and
he who sees them not is
blind; he who sees them and
passes them by is missing
the chance Of his life.
Invest now and invest in
the greatest real estate gold

tinent- Ell PASO.

GUARANTY LAW NO GOOD
OKLAHOMA BANKERS DISLIKE
IT-FAILS TO WORK WELL
AS TAFT PREDICTED.

A stampede of Oklahoma State
bankers to get from under the pro-
visions of the Oklahoma State guar
anty law is in evidence. The Offices
of Comptroller of the Currency Muir
ray are flooded with applications of
those desirous of converting their
institutions into nation banks.
The guaranty law went into effect
in Oklahoma on October l, 1908. In
the year 1908 only one State bank
was converted to the national sys-
TEN. In 1909 there were three, in
1910 there were seven. Thus far
in 1911 there have been eighteen
conversions, and during the last three
months the applications for conver-
sion have numbered between seventy
five and a hunderd, about siXty-five
of them coming in within the last
thirty days, Action on nearly all of
these is yet to be taken.
1--WE are tired of the guaranty
law" say the bankers.
THE guaranty law Is too expen-
sive," one writer says. The banking
board had just levied against him an
assessment of 1 per cent. on his aver
age deposits for the last year,
amounting to more than 100000
Such expressions as 1--WE have had
enough of the guaranty law" 1--WE
are disgusted with the guaranty

FAIR At CAPITOL
W. c. Norton, Waymart
To Head Commission
If JONES BILL PASSES AS
SCHEDULED HARRISBURG
WILL LAND STATE FAIR.

Luzerne county will not land the
Harrisburg, either at a point near
Rockville or on the Cumberland
side of the capital. This is the pro-
gram mapped out and it will be car
ried to completion Notwithstanding
the contrary wishes of all the north
eastern legislators.
The Jones bill is scheduled to go
through within fortnight 1t pro-
vides for a com mission of nine per-
sons who are to take full charge of
all the arrangements for the fair,
such as erecting the buildings, ar
ranging with transportation COM
panies for special rates, encouraging
exhibits and spending $150,000 each
year, the last-named duty depending
of course, on whether or not the ap-
preparation committee will allow
$300, 600, thersum asked to run the
State fair for the coming two years.
w. G. Norton, Waymart, Wayne
county, an ex-legislator and the one
person who for twelve years has
been leading the fight for State
fair, will head the commission. He
was in Harrisburg last week in con-
sultation with the governor regard
ing the project, but they only talk
ed over the subject generally. I'm
like his predecessor, Governor Tener
appears to be anxious for the estab-
lishment of Pennsylvania State
fair. He has knowledge of the good
such an institutions has done in New
York state and feels the opportuni-
ties for benefits in the Keystone
state are even better.
The purpose of a State fair is to
encourage industrial activity, me-
chanical science, live stock breeding,
domestic arts, and, of course, all
matters pertaining to agriculture
According to Mr.. Norton the horse
racing end will not be a feature of
Pennsylvania State fair.
Residing in northeastern Pennsyl-
vania, Mr.. Norton would like to see
the fair go to Luzerne or Lackawan-
ma county, but believes that such a
scheme would not be countenanced
by the powers that be. Williams
port and Lancaster are also appli-
cants and the last named county
has some formidable backing. But,
as already stated, Harrisburg has the
call and will get the fair if the fair
bill is enacted. Harrisburg is con-
sidered the best railroad city in the
state, being a veritable hub for eight
lines to every part of the common
wealth. The men who cast legisla-
tive destiny are opposed to the fair
going to any place but Harrisburg
and in their efforts to locate the ex-
hibition grounds on the capital city
soil they have the hearty support of
the powerful Pennsylvania Railroad
company.

MORSE GOING MAD
Former Ice King Losing
His Mind From Worry
CONVICTED BANKER HOPES FOR
PARDON BUT HAS LOST CON-
FIDENCE.
Respectfully yours,
FREDERICK GREGORY,
Honesdale, Pa.

Charles w. Morse, the former ice
king, is becoming insane in his cell
at the Federal Prison, Atlanta, ac-
cording to the statement of John F.
Gaynor, just reIeased from that in
after serving four years for
grating in army contracts.
Morse" said Gaynor to-day, as
he paced Pullman car which was
carrying him North, sis in bad, bad
shape. He is losing his mind from
Imprisonment and worry. He is
surely going crazy. Even now you
can see his mind is failing, and /
feel sure--I know-he will be in
sane before long unless he gets out.
l told Mrs. Morse about it yesterday,
and she is prostrated. He's awfully
bad"
According to Gaynor, Morse is
hardly able to leave his cell. He sits
for hours at time looking bfankly
at the walls of the prison. He dis
likes to see visitors, eats little and is
in poor physical as we'll as bad men
tai condition.
Gaynor says Morse constantly
hopes for pardon, but has appar-
emily lost confidence in the move
ment in his behalf

WHY BOYS LEAVE FARMS
VICE PRESIDENT OF MINNEAPO-
LIS BANK HOLDS CITY GIRLS
RESPONSIBLE.

THE city girl who goes into rural
communities to teach is a menace to
the agricultural future of the ma
ton. She strikes at the backbone of
the country's prosperity.
From her position on the rostrum
of the little red school-house the
teacher from the city turns the
thoughts of her boy pupils into 9TH
er channels than those leading to the
raising of cattle and corn"
Joseph Chapman, Jr., Vice-Presi-
dent of the Northwestern National
Bank of Minneapolis, pictured the
city girl in this new role in talk in
Chicago.
Not ony teachers, but the city girls
on vacation, give the young men sug-
gestions on city life that take them
from the soil.
They have much to do" he said,
with the big migration of boys to
the cities"

BAD STORM KILLS
HEAVY FINANCIAL LOSS IN
PHILADELPHIA AND PITTS
BURG,

A windstorm throughout north
eastern Ohio, a portion of West Vir-
ginia and western Pennsylvania late
Monday afternoon caused at least
one fatality in Pittsburg, injured a
number of persons and resulted in
heavy financial loss. In that city
the wind reached a velocity of fifty
two miles an hour. Many wires,
billboards and plate-glass windows
suffered. In the country districts
the wind played havoc with barns
and fences.
A severe electrical storm, accom-
panied by a high wind, which at
times blew with cyclonic force, swept
over the northern section of Phila-
delphia shortly after o'clock Mon
day. Buildings were demolished,
houses unroofed and the New York
division of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road was placed out of commission
temporarily.

The TWO ANDREWS
CARNEGIE TO AID 10th, THE
WRONGLY IMPRISONED MILL
HAND.

Andrew Carnegie has interested
himself in the case of Andrew 10th,
the man who served nearly twenty
years in the Western Penitentiary for
murder he never committed, and is
having an investigation made to as
certain whether the Ldortunate man
is worthy object for his bounty.
Secretary F. NJ Wilmot, of the Car
negie Hero Fund Commission receiv-
ed letter from Mr.. Carnegie. The
envelope was addressed in the crab
bed handwriting of Mi. Carnegie and
within was clipping from a New
York newspaper telling of the re-
lease of 10th and his penniless con-
dition. At the bottom of the clip
an indelible pencil: "Glad to help if
true. Please investigate and oblige."
The resources of the commission
were at once turned loose and a re-
port will be prepared under Mr.. Will
mot's direction as thorough as any
possible to make.
What Mr.. Carnegie will do for
10th lies with himself. The money
will not come out of the hero fund,
for 10th is not a hero; nor will it
SOlllS INC IGllGl DGCduS6
10th did not serve the required num-
Der of years with the Carnegie Steel
Company, though he was in the en-
ploy of the Carnegie company at the
time he was adjudged guilty of the
crime committed by another at the
Edgar Thomson furnaces. Mr.. Will
mot said: ''Mr. Carnegie often does
things of this kind, and what he does
in this instance will come from his
own pocket and not from any of the
established funds"
Representative A. C. Stein by re-
quest INTRODUCED a bill Friday to pay
$4,000 to Andrew 10th, recently
pardoned and released from the
Western Penitentiary as compensa-
tion for detention through miscarri-
age of justice. The details regarding
Toth's conviction are set forth to-
gether with the fact that he served
nineteen years and two months. The
bill will never get out of committee,
however, as it is unconstitutional.
The State cannot appropriate money
for such purposes.
