FIRST NATIONAL
A BEAUTY SPOT
Its Banking Facilities UnsurpRSs-
ed and Its SOundness I'm
questioned.

The First National Bank is now fully
settled in its newly remodeled quar-
ters on West Market street
Several thousand dollars we're expend-
ed in remodelling the bank building and
it is safe to say that today the First
National Bank of this city has the finest
quarters, and the most up-to-date and
safest vault in this section of the state.
The interior of the new home of the
First National presents a handsome
appearance, while every convenience
possible for the business public has been
embodied in the remodeled structure.
At the suggestion of Judge Day, presi-
dent of the bank, ladies' rest room, of
ample dimensions with toilet and loung-
ing chairs has been made on the left of
the entrance, while business consulta.
ton room, with toilet, for business men
has been arranged on the riget of the
entrance.
The safety deposit boxes of the bank
are located in the bank S fire and burg
lar proof vault, but are made separate
from the banks safe and private mat
ters by a steel enclosure.
All in all the Bank is complete in
every respect and their fast growing
business will no doubt rapidly increase,
when people learn of the accommodating
features of the new structure, together
with the stability of the institution,
backed by the always attentive force

ON THE BRYAN BAND
WAGON

Berlin, August 23.-Emperor William
is reported to have joined the ranks of
teetotalers. 1t is known that during his
recent northern cruise the Emperor aban-
doned the use of practically all alcoholic
beverages, and it is understood that he
has permanently forsworn even the
Fatherland's famous beer and choicest
wines.
As a substitute he has taken to lemon
ade with dash of orange juice.
In imperial circles it has long been
known that Emperor William was great
ly impressed with statistical study of the
effects of alcohol. He often expressed
the opinion to members of his court that
immoderate drinking was one of the
greatest factors in retarding the devel-
opment of nations, and while he was
swearing in naval recruits at Wilhelms-
haven recently he took occasion to de-
liver a lecture on temperance.
He also recently told army officers that
he would be we'll pleased if toasts to his
health were drunk in water.

jerome Goes TO Quebec to Appeal
to Provisional Premier-COn-
fident of His Mission.

Prisoners Attorneys, Having Won the
First Round In the Legal Bout, Are
Resting On Their LaureIs-contend nd
That Thaw Can Not Be Taken From
Jail Unless He Himself Applies to
the Court.
Sherbrooke, Que, Aug. William
T. Jerome of counsel for the state Of
New York left for Quebec, where he
will appeal to Sir Lomer Gouin, pre-
mier of the province and head of the
attorney generals department, to
have the charge against Harry K.
Thaw dismissed Thaw is confined in
Jail on a commitment which is so
faulty that there is apparently no way
of getting him out while he wants to
stay.
Judge Arthur Globensky, sitting in
the superior court, granted Harry K.
Thaw's application for withdrawal Of
the habeas corpus writ, which had
been set for argument. He also de.
MED a Canadian lawyer retained by
the state of New York, the privilege
of objecting to the withdrawal.
Mr.. Jerome lost no time in his de-
parture, because Thaw may now be
admitted to bail by any magistrate in
the district of st. Francis who is
willing to take the chance. So con.
fident was he of his mission that
Jerome said before leaving that Thaw
will be in the United States within a
week.
Thaw's attorneys are, to outward
appearances at least, resting on their
laurels. They say that Thaw can not
be taken from jail unless he himself
applies for a trial or dismissal of the |
commitment on which he is held If |
he wishes, they say he may demand |
the jury trial in October and can not |
be refused Meantime they have made |
provision to throw Thaw into the |
courts on almost a moments notice |
by attaching to their withdrawal OF |
the habeas corpus writ a clause which |
permits them to renew 1t on notice.
Undoubtedly this is what they will do
if any attempt to have the commit.
ent papers dismissed is made by the
attorney generals office.
There was a courtroom demonstra-
tion in Thaw's favor. Six hundred
men and women, entirely forgetful Of
the prescribed dignity of court pro.
ceedings, sprang to their feet to shout
and yell and throw their hats in the
air, all because the attorneys for
Whites slayer gained the point at
stake

TO LET FACTIONS
FIGHT It OUT
PresIdentIWiIsOn Inaugurates His
Policy Towards MexicO-In-
structs Diplomatic Agents.

Complete Embargo Placed Against the
Shipment Of Arms and Ammunition
From the United States Into Mexico
and Americans Urged to Leave the
Southern Republic Soon as Possible
Neutrality Laws to Be Enforced.
Washington, Aug. 2S.-From the
state department went out to all
American diplomatic and consular
agents in Mexico dispatches inform.
Ing them of the new policy proclaim-
ed by President Wilson toward the
southern republic and giving them
definite instructions as to how this
policy shall be carried out
With the issuance Of these dispatch
es, the United States entered upon a
new relationship with the Mexican re.
public. A strict embargo will be
maintained by civil and military Off
cials against the shipment of arms or
munitions of war across the border
or from any American port into
Mexico.
The diplomatic agents of this gov
ernment have been directed to inform
all Americans in Mexico that officials
of the United States believe they can
remain there no longer with safety
and to urge their immediate with.
drawal. The American representa-.
tives in Mexico are notified further
that this government stands ready to
facilitate the exodus in every way pos
sible, even to the extent of supplying
money and warships for their trans.
portation.
Close on the heels of these instruc.
tions to American diplomats and con.
sular representatives will come an
emphatic note from this government
to all civil and military authorities of
every faction in Mexico. This note
will serve notice that the leaders will
be held personally accountable for
any injury to Americans and damage
to their property.
These first steps in the new policy,
will be strengthened within |
a few days by the dispatch of an ad- |
ditional military force to the border |
The purpose Of this movement of |
troops will be merely to enforce more |
the neutrality laws and to |
prevent all shipments of arms across
the border If it appears necessary
additions will be made to the section
Of the Atlantic fleet now in Mexican
water, in order to facilitate the de.
Darture Of Americans from the gulf
ports.
But of more immediate importance
han any of these steps is the likeli-
lood that the United States will have
he cooperation of the powers of the
world in the embargo on shipments
# arms and ammunition into Mexico.
