Tt has always been the policy of this bank to carry a large amount of available cash, but at this time our surplus is unusually large. Parties desiring loans can be accommodated. MISSOURI STATE BANK.

C, Star, lst. Sam W. Fulkerson, who recently organized the Benevolent and Pro- tective Order of Stenographers and later induced the members to organ- ize on union lines at a banquet given by him at the Midland hotel, wasad- judged insane yesterday and was taken to the state asylum at St. Joseph by J. C. Greenman, humane officer. Fulkerson had an office in the New Ridge building aud it was there that he evolved plans which he believed would prove of immense benefit to the stenographers and typewriters of Kansas City. He organized the pro- tective association withont much trouble and started it on its career with about sixty members. The em- ployers were notified that no effort would be made to increase the sala- ries paid employees, but later Fulker, son changed his programme, invited his allies, by messenger boy service, to be his guests at a banquet and then broached his union plan. 1tmet with favor, for the food was good and Fulkerson was an ideal toast- After the banquet-he forgot to pay the hotel management forthe banquet and the messenger agency for tie service rendered in delivering the invitations. It was believed he had left the city until it was learned that he was at his mother’s home on the East side. When he again ap peared at his office a messenger boy confronted him and demanded money for services rendered. A fightensued and Fulkerson was roughly handled. He and the messenger boy were tak- en to police headquarters, but neither was prosecuted. Then it was told that Fulkerson had been an inmate of the Nevada state asylum for the insane at Reno, Nev., and had been at liberty only a short time prior to his return to this city: ‘The order for hisincarceration - inthe asylum at St. Joseph was issu- ed at the request of his mother. Tribute to Paul Rayboura. — Remarks of Walter Williams at -faneral of Paul D. Raybourn, student. of State University in Columbia, Mis- -eruri, Jannary 25, 1903: sa When a friend dies, a faithfil dend, worn wearied though yet with flush of youth upon his face; when silver cord is lovsed and the itcher broken at the fountain; when e eyes fill with tears and the heart chee—there are no worde.to be said \ PERCIVAL, ment. save those of sorrow, sympathy and —faith! Sorrow, said I? Nay, grief. Sor- row is a cold and clammy cloak, but grief is keen like the piercing of the winter wind and its wounds are slow in healing. Paul Raybourn was your friend and mine. For three years a mem- | ber of the class which it is my privi- |lege to teach in Scripture-study, I grieve with you at his going-away. His was a pure and gentle life, love was in his heert, devotion in his nat- , ure, courage in his character. He | had lofty ideals and lowered them | never despite difficulty and tempta- {tion. He studied hard. He held with grim determination to his high jendeavor. He taught the Bible and in open-hearted, modest, manly fash- ion, lived the Bible that he taught. He remembered always the home ties and no week passed without a mes sage of love and gratitude tothe dear ones who sit in the shadow thissunuy ' Sabbath afternoon—a shadow which our sympathy so largely given may | not lighten or make less. “From sudden death,’’ thus saith | @ petition venerable, “Oh Lord, de- | liver us.”’ Not sudden, in the mean- ing of unexpected, but sudden in the sense of unpreparedness. From this sudden death the Lord delivered him. Our friend—wnd—feHow-student had planned for the unending to-morrow not merely for the brief to-day. He had taken God into his calculations and God has taken him into hisever- lasting care. Though his sun had not reached the zenith it sank amid the prophetic splendors of an eternal dawn. Thecoverlet of snow isontheearth, Each bough of every tree bends leaf- less in the winter breeze. Soon the green carpet of the spring will lie up- on the hills and tree and flower will burst in leaf and bloom again. The seasons teach the story that the Scriptures tell—first, death, then res- urrection. His final examinations have been held. His life-grade is fixed.

Bank Officers Elected. The annual meeting of the Board of Directors of the Farmers Bank, elected the following officers for the ensuing year: E. A. Bennett, Presi- dent; A. L. McBride, Vice-President; E.D. Kipp, Cashier; G. W. Newberry, Ase’t Cashier. It was very gratifying, indeed, to the officers to be able to report to the directors the most prosperous year in the history of the Bank. While it isgenerally conceded by financial institutions all over the country, that the detaile of the profit account of the bank interest the stockbulders ouly, yet it may be of interest to a good many friends of the iustitution to kuuw that the net profits on capital stock was fully four per cent. greater this year than inany previous year in the history of this Bank,and asa just recognition of this very meritorous management, the directors voted an increase in salary to each active officer and em- ployee. Another point that would probably interest the public, is the fact that in fifteen years business, loaning entirely on personal security, new loans and renewals of which amounts to several millions of dol- lara, they have but $75@ to their loss account, an average of $50 a year. The various bank examiners have always pronounced this a phenomenal record, We are certain- ly glad to see this strong institution continue to prosper. In addition to the active officers mentioned above, the clerical force will be Homer Duvall, who has ‘been with the bank for the past three years, also Wesley Denton, formerly deputy postmaster, but more recently manager for quite alarge manufacturing company of Kansas City. These two young men are certainly ideal in every particu: lar. They are both popular and courteous. Chas. Fix, of PrairieCity, Weds in Ilii- nois. The Marseilles (Ill.)

Te de- clares he helped to cupture Jefferson Davis, presidentZof the Confederacy and will lay claim to the $1,503 now in the United States treasury, as an unexpended appropriation for the captors offPresident Davis. His ac- count of the capture is especially in teresting because it explodes the old tradition that the Confederate leader tried to esrape from the Union sol- diersfin his wife's dress. Camm says he was with Captain Joseph Yoeman, First Ohio cavalry, and twenty soldiers of the Fourth Michigan cavalry, when the eapture was made, They located the Davis camp about two days’ march from Macon, Ga. , “When the march began, no one but Yoeman knew its mission,” said | Camm. “After the first day’s march | Yoeman drew up the men in iine and siid: ‘Boys, we are going tocapture Jeff Davis. He has seven wagon loads of gold. We all share it if we get him’” The original reward was $100,000, It has all been taken but the $1,500, Camm wants that. His lawyers say he has a good case.
