The Bankers Confession

7. l.. Mathews, of Fremont,
Neb., president of a building and
loan association, and at one time
United States Marshal for Ne
braska, delivered an address be-
fore the Nebraska Bankers asso-
citation. Mr.. Mathews is a re-
publican and in his address he
said:
j. P. Morgan has a controlling
influence in financial and indus
trial institutions whose capitiliza-
ton amounts to $4,000, 600, 900.
The wealth to the United States
is computed at $10S, 600, 900, 900,
so you see Mr.. Morgan controls
an amount equal to one-tenth of
the wealth of all.

fines banking power as being
measured by the sum of capital,
surplus, deposits and circulation.
The 1000 national banks have a
combined banking power of $6,-
000. 900. 900. Mr.. Morpans own
ership and control of wealth,
which is placed at $4,000, 00O,-
900, therefore, just double the
sum Of the banking power of all
the national banks of the United
States.

A Great Success
Was the Old Fiddlers' Contest.

SUCCESSFUL is the proper
word to use in describing the
"Old Fiddlers' Contest held at
the court house Saturday night.
It was a success in every partic-
ular, financially, socially, and es-
pecially from the standpoint of
good order and the courteous de-
meanor of everyone present. The
speech of Prof. Cisco at the be-
ginning was appropriate and well
received. The preliminary pieces
played by the string band were
well rendered and enjoyed i'm
mensely by the big crowd. The
contest was spirited and wig
orous, each contestant playing
three pieces of his own selection.
The winners were as follows:
Claude Wells, First Prize, $500;
Math West, Second Prize, $500;
H. 7. Dyer, Third Prize, $lIQ0.
Prof. Cisco and his classes are
to be congratulated upon the
success of the undertaking. The
manikin for the physiology class
is assured, and that without ex-
pense to the district or the man
agement of the school.

Queer Counting Of Distances.

In the rural parts Of Schleswig- -Hol-
stein people do not measure distance
by miles, as we do, or by hours, as
in other parts Of Germany. They say
that place is a pipe, or two pipes,
or three pipes off, according to the
number Of pipes one could smoke
while walking there. Shorter dis
tances are reckoned by dogs barks;
village under mile away would be
two or three dogs barks.

Judge and "sarmald's Blush"

Judicial ignorance is generally as
sumed, but there are occasions when
a judge is honestly lacking in knowl-
edge. The other day a witness in an
Australian court casually mentioned
that certain thing occurred just after
he had a "barmaid's blush" Judge
and counsel were for the moment
"stuck up" by this hitherto unheard of
phrase, but the fact was gradually
ELECTED that 1t meant a drink of COM
pounded beer and raspberry vinegar.
