EXAMINATION OF
BANKS AFFAIRS
Continued from Page ~

State Bank Commissioner John NJ.
Davis.
Officers Silent.
None of the officials of the Bank of
Pine Bluff would last evening say any
thing regarding the condition of the
bank, nor plans for the future. Each
said statement would be issued by
the bank within short while, but
did not indicate when this might be
expected.
While some men connected in way
with the institution intimate that
plans are being made to resume bust
ness with a larger capital stock, from
other sources considered equally as
authoritative it is learned that there is
little likelihood OF the bank resuming
business; that if it can emerge from
the present trouble without causing
great loss to stockholders there will be
qualification.
There appears to be nothing definite
concerning the future of the bank.

TILLMAN'S FATHER
PLEADS IN VAIN
Governor Says otlling Would Justify
Him in Interfering With Decree
OF Cearts.

Little Rock, July 9.-From 1850
till 1890 today noon, j. F. Tillman,
father of Arthur Tillman, was closet
ed with Gov. Hays, pleading with the
chief executive for clemeccy for his
son. But Gov. Hays announced that
nothing new was presented that
would justify him in reversing the
decision he has already given nor to
interfere with the execution which
is to take place at Paris, in Logan
county, next week. At this time
there seems to be no hope whatever
for the young man, who still insists
that he is innocent of the crime fol
which he has been condemned.

YOUTH SUFFERS FOR
DANGEROUS PRACTICE
Raymond Everett, Aged II, Severely
Bruised When Thrown From
Wheel While Holding to
Auto.

The danger of the custom of young
bicyclists il holding to moving auto
mobiles was impressively demon
strated last evening at 6 o'clock at
the cost of severe bruises to Ray
mond Everett, the 13-year-old son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. Everett, who was
thrown from his wheel while hold
ing to the auto of A. Sheppard.
Young Everett, who is a delivery
boy in the employ of the Mann
pharmacy, was delivering a package
TO patient at the end of Pullen
street. When Mr.. Sheppard drove by
the boy caught hold of the automo-
bile and rode behind the car for sew
which threw him beside the machine.
The car, which scraped the boys
body, drove his head into the crush
ed rock, and it was thought for a
while that he would suffer concus-
sion of the brain.
Mr.. Sheppard Immediately picked
up the lad and carried him to the
Mann's pharmacy where he was given
medical attention. He was later
taken in Mr.. Sheppard's car to his
home at 1925 West Fifteenth avenue.
1t is thought that none of the bones
in the boy are broken, but he receiv-
ed several cuts about the head and
shoulders.
This is the SECOND accident that
has occurred to delivery boys of the
Mann pharmacy since July 4, 'Satur-
day evening Robert McClain, aged IL
and son of Mrs. Fannie McClaln,
was knocked from his wheel by al
auto and badly bruised.

coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When people realize the injurious
effects of coffee and the change in
health that Postum can bring, they are
usually glad to lend their testimony
for the benefit of others.
"My mother, since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drinker,
had been troubled with her heart for a
number of years and complained OF
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach. :
Some time ago / was making 8
visit to a distant part of the country
and took dinner with one OF b
merchants Of the place. l noticed a
somewhat unusual favour Of the cot
fee and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum.
Il was so pleased with it that, after
the meal was over, ! bought a package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were SO well pleased
with it that we discontinued coffee and
used Postum entirely.
4 had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart, and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was well and
hearty. .

self and the other members of the fam
