Two Horse Thieves, Paul and McDonald, Sentenced to Five Years. The two horse thieves, Paul and McDonald, captured near Old Cres- cent Hill last week by Deputy Sheriff Stith, and taken back to Cass county, waived preliminary before a Justice of the Peace, were arraigned in cir- cuit court and pleaded guilty and were given 5. years in the peniten- tiary. ; The Cass County Democrat says: “The arraignment in circuit court of two white men on their charge of stealing horses, their pleas of guilty and their sentences of five years each in the Missouri state penitentiary is the climax of a little drama of crime, in which the first act was staged on Sunday night, and the curtain will fall on the last act when the culprits are “dressed in’ at the Jefferson City prison some time on next Satur- day. And incidentally, this is about as quick action as has been taken on anything of the kind in this part of the country lately. “The two sentenced men give the names of C. W. Paul and Charles Me- Donald. The former is nearly 21 years old, and the latter is about 24 of age. They are sent up five years for stealing a team of horses from the farm of George F. Scott, near Belton, on last Sunday night. They got away with the team anda spring wagon, but were arrested be- tween Archie and Adrian, across in Bates county, Monday afternoon by Lee Stith, one of the deputy sheriffs in that county.”’ Frank Bernhardt Dead. Frank V. Bernhardt died suddenly at his home in Webb City Monday al- ternoon at 2:30 o'clock of apoplexy He was employed at the Wright drug store, had gone to his work after eat- ing dinner, but returned home at & o'clock complaining of feeling bad. He lay upon the bed for a few min- utes and on attempting toraise up, be- came dizzy and fell forward on his face and expired. His body brought to Butler on the noon train Tuesday, accompanied by an escort from the Webb City Elks lodge, com- posed of Messrs. Moore and Ivey. Funeral services were conducted by Rey. Lamb from the Presbyterian Church at 10 o'clock Wednesday ‘morning, under auspices of Butler Lodge No. 958, B. P. O.

Suddath made a scholarly address to a respectable size audience of voters i house Saturdayevening. Mr. Suddath’sad- dress showed study, thought and re- search. He devoted most of his time to adiscussion of the tariff question and made some telling points against the iniquitous Payne-Aldrich law. At the outset he quoted ‘Cooley on the Constitution,” a work recognized by the courts and lawyers, that to levy a tax for protective purposes was un- constitutional, and showed that Con- gress recognized that decision by making the enacting clause for all tariff bills read “For the purpose of raising revenue,” ete. He quoted case after case where manufactured products of this country have been shipped abroad’ and after paying transportation charges sold in foreign markets cheaper than at home. He showed how the Republican party had proved itself the champion and friend oftrusts and special interests as against the masses. He paid a very high tribute to the ability and high ‘moral character of Senator C. Cc. John Carpenter came in from Lo- | ‘Dickinson and urged all Democrats | to go the polls on February Ist, 1909, ‘and cast their votes for Dickinson.

PEOPLES BANK HAS MADE GOOD Continues to Grow and Prosper. \ stocisholders’ meeting-of the Peo- ples Bank was held the 11th inst. The seventeen months which the bank had been in existence closed most satisfactorily to all those inter- ested in it. A dividend of 4 per cent was de- clared; $1500.00 was added to the sur- plus fund and the furniture and fix- ture account was reduced $500.00 which in reality means that $2000.00 was added to the assets of the bank. When the bank was but ten months old a dividend at {the rate of 8 per cent was declared and $500.00 was ad- ded to the surplus fund. thing unusual for a bank the age it was to makesuch a showing. The success which the Peoples Bank has made has far surpassed the most sanguine expectations of its or- ganizers. The organizers knew well the conditions which had to be met if the bank succeeded. They were cog- nizant of the fact that the many fail- ures precipitated by the panic of 1907 and other causes prevalent at that time had caused people in general to have a feeling of mistrust and a lack of confidence in banks. They: select- ed as officers and directors some of our best citizens, several of whom had been previously tried in positions of trust. To inspire confidence and to give an additional safeguard to their patrons, they incorporated into the by-laws Seetion 16-—No officer or employee of this bank shall become indebted thereto in any werdralt or in any It is some- sum by a other man- ner comment- ed upon by a recent state bank exam- iner as being one of the best protee- tions afforded the patrons of a bank he had seen.

Asa further means of protection one of the latest burglar-proof safes has been installed, Those desiring it are afforded fire protection for their valuable papers, ete., free of charge. In fact the bank is endeavor- ing to protect its, customers in every way possible. It is the purpose of the stockhold- ers of the Peoples Bank to have it at all times just what its name indi- eates—a bank which can serve every- body who is deserving the poor and the rich, the depositor and the money berrower. We employ none of the methods of the high financier, but endeavor to move along ina simple and safe w: We believe that econ- omy, conservatism and honest treat- ment win—such is our motto. Living up to it we have ina short length of time built up a large business. We appreciate the co-operation of our friends and customers, and the good will manifested by the public in gen- eral.
