JESSE JAMES is FORGOTTEN
Bandits Old Home in ST. Joseph, Mo-,
No Longer Attracts Wis
itors.

st. Joseph, Mo.-Surrounded by
weeds and underbrush, squat and
weather-beaten cottage of four rooms
stands almost forgotten near the
heart Of st. Joseph and within two
blocks Of two trolley lines. The house
was once occupied by Jesse James,
the famous Missouri bandit, and there
he was shot to death by Bob" Ford
the morning of April 8, 1882, as he
was hanging a picture. The bullet
hole in the wall Of the room and the
place where the blood stains are said
to have been are pointed out to the
curious.
A score or more years ago visit to
st. Joseph was not considered COM
plete without jaunt to the home Of
Jesse James. But times have chang
war and everything" the old
couple who are completing nearly
twenty years. residence in the former
bandits dwelling explained-and visi-
tors are rare. In the last six months
only one person came to see the house
where Jesse James lived and died.

BANK DEPOSITS
SET NEW RECORDS
MOSCOW BANKS HAVE $3,386, 900
DEPOSITS-THE LARGEST
EVER KNOWN

A new record for bank deposits has
been set by Moscow's three banks.
When the statement of condition on
November IL was called for ad given
it was found that the three banks had
$3,386,000 on deposit, which is new
high record and the first time they
have ever gone above the three mil
lion dollars. This record at the close
of the driest season this section has
ever known and with poor crop (for
Latah county, but which would have
been regarded as a good one any
where else) shows the general pros
perity of the people of this section.
The deposits were divided as fol-
lows: First National Bank, 1886, 1000;
Moscow State Bank, $778,000; First
Trust and Savings Bank, 81 ,622 900.
This is new high record for each of
these banks, showing that all are
prospering and their business increas-
ing.
Few towns the size Of Moscow can
make such showing as that made
by the banks of this city and few
towns the size of Moscow can make as
good showing as Moscow does in
)ther respects.

ROOSEVELT DEFENDED STORY
Late Ex-President Proved Quick and
Doughty Champion of 'The Unpar-
donabIe Sin" When New York
Library Baked.

The late Theodore Roosevelt, ex-
president of the United States, whs
was engaged in adding to his reputa-
tion as one of the doughtiest of Amer
lean fighters in any field where right
seemed to need champion, when his
untimely death resulted, had an i'm
portant part in the controversy which
developed in New York City sooR
Rupert Hughes well-known book, was
published. The big photoplay has been
secured as the attraction at the Or
pheum theatre for two-day engage
ment, beginning Monday.
Major Hughes, who will always be
grateful to Colonel Roosevelt for the
part he took in defending the book,
remarked not long ago, when he saw
the picture version in New York, that
it would always remain one of his re-
grets that Colonel Roosevelt had not
lived to see the power for good which
had been evolved from the story and
so strikingly presented in the photo
play.
'The objectionable Sin,' in story
form first appeared in a serial in the
Red Book, and was later published in
book form by Harper & Bros, New
York. 1t had already achieved nation
al popularity, when Major Hughes
himself, quite by accident, discovered
that New York City public library of
ficials were hampering the circulation
of the story on the grounds that its
suject matter was not conducive to the
best interests of the general public.
Investigation proved that while ''The
objectionable Sin" was available in
a number of the branches of the New
York Public library, the number of
copies on hand was not nearly adequ-
quate to supply the demand of those
who wished to read it and, moreover,
that it was not the desire of the public
library officials that the general pub
lie be afforded the same opportunity
to read "The Unpardonale Sin" that
was accorded them in the case of other
pieces of popular literature
When this condition was brought to
light, ex-President Roosevelt wrote
one of his characteristic letters, criti-
cizing the public library people for
their unauthorized censorship, and ad-
vocating the widest possible circula-
tion of the story in the interests of
public welfare.
"The objectionable Sin" had sold
in the hundreds of thousands before
the little controversy developed, but
upon the publication of
he Roosevelt letter it's sales were al
most doubled, until it became the best
seller of its day. 53

Medicines.

Craiova, Roumania.-Riding on the
roof of box car through $50 miles of
Roumanian mountains, Miss Georgia
Watts of Lexington, KY, carried a
consignment of much-needed medicines
and surgical supplies from Bucharest
to the American Red Cross hospital
here.
The outbreak of a sudden epidemic
of typhus demanded the immediate re-
ceipt of certain supplies which could
only be obtained from the American
warehouses in Bucharest. Miss Watts
offered to make the trip The crates
of medicines were tied to the roof of
a box car and Miss Watts mounted
to place beside them, where she
clung as the train climbed tortuously
up a crooked mountain trail, across
many bridges and through numerous
tunnels.

DOCTOR BULG|N
TOLD OF CHRIST
sEVANGELISTS THANKSGIVING
SERMON HEARD BY LARGE
CROWD LAST NIGHT
(By Rev. Dean Hamilton. }

DR.. Green pastor of the Methodist
church at Lewiston attended the ser
vices at the tabernacle last night and
led in prayer. The chorus was in fine
form and the great audience attentive.
Pleasantries were passed as to how
the day was spent and the Thanksgiv-
ing dinner. DR.. Bulgin had been out
to a home with his party where he
cooked the bird. He is reported to
be famous cook. He preached a
clear and gripping sermon on the
Triumphants Of the Cross. The text
is Matt. 1918. upon this rock l
will build my church and the gates
of hell shall not prevail against it."
There is first the setting of the text,
as usual. One Of the great miracles
of the ages is the church. She sur
wives. She has successfully passed
every difficulty. The evangelist re-
viewed some of them. The first rested
in the fact that Christianity was born
in a small and obscure nation. Pales-
tine was the subject of ridicule. The
founder was born in stable in a
calf's stall. In Kansas very wealthy
man came to the preacher and told
him he thought it would be better if
he did not tell that he was born in
obscurity, in log cabin in the noun
tains of North Carolina. In Jesus
days it was a drawback indeed. The
second difficulty presented was the
fact that her founder died a felon's
death. "Cursed is everyone that hang
eth on tree" A young woman who
comes to this university and of whom
it is known that her father is hung,
is at decided disadvantage. Old
bachelor Presbyterian minister of As
engaged to hitherto unappropriated
blessing of 40 She worth million
and half. He feels he must confess
