Isn't it about time to discard that old clumsy solid bookcase, that
never accommodated your books or your space, and start a
Globe-Wernicke “Elastic” Bookcase
that grows with your library and always fits it, that is made up of units
and can be arranged in a variety of artistic shapes. Easily moved, one
8 unit at a time, without disturbing the books. Fitted with the only per
fect dust-proof roller-bearing nor-binding door that positively cannot
get out of order. Call and see it or write for our illustrated catalogue.

The total footings of the current
statement of the Fidelity bank, at
the close of business Nov., 27, 1908,
speak eloquently for the ability of the
popular cashier of that Institution,
Jas. F. O’Donnell. When Mr. O’Don
nell took the position of cashier of
the bank on June 11, 1908, the total
footings amounted to only $38,154.22;
or deposits of only $13,154.22, after an
existence as a bank of two years
During the five and half months
Cashier O’Donnell has been at the
helm the total footings have increased
to $69,273.02, and the deposits have
increased to $41,155.66. This is cer
tainly a splendid record to be made
in the short period in which he has
had control and one that should be
highly gratifying to Mr. O’Donnell
and his many friends.
O. M. Collins, who from 1893 to
1897 was deputy clerk of the district
court of this county under Clerk
SkirvSng, died at the hospital for the
insane at Nevada, Mo., on Nov. 23,
1908, at the age of 44 years and 7
months. Mr. Collins lost his mind in
June, 1904, and became so bad that he
had to be taken to the insane asylum
where he remained up to the time of
his death, except six months of the
summer of 1906 when he was at home,
but he had to be returned to the
asylum. Mr. Collins and family made
many friends during their residence
in this city who will regret to ifarn of
the misfortune that has befallen them.
He leaves his wife, and three children,
Cecil, Mabel and Mira. They live at
Sedalia, Mo., where Cecil has a posi
tion as stenographer with the Mis
souri Pacific Railroad where he has
been employed the past four years.
