Stert a Bank U Account Better be a hank-account man than a no-account man. The way to prosperity and happiness is paved witn good intentions put into exe cution. If you feel that you really ought to be saving something out of earnings for after life, don't let the good impulse go unheeded. The person who is soured on life is the one who has neglected to put into force the simple rules of success. Start an account with the bank to day.

King Hill, Neb., Aug. 24, 1908. A few days ago George Smith (our worthy king snipe) and family con cluded they would spend a day on the river fishing and having a good time. They loaded their buggy with good things to.eat and went to Fred Patter son's, where preparations had also been made for a good time. The first thing was something to eat, after which the seine was loaded on the boat and both families went fishing and wading in the warm water. The river bottom is very uneven and Mr. Smith got out to lift the boat over a shallow place, when he took one step too many and under he went, all but his hat. After clawing off about one hundred feet of the seine, he kicked loose and got hold of the side of the boat and got in (he said he got wet) and said he did not find bottom. After the first catch, with Mr. Smith in the seine, the fish were small, but nice. Thursday evening, August 20, 1908. Mr. Louis Ranard came in from a hard day's work, and was getting ready to spend a quiet evening with his family, when he was surprised to see his friends come in, and two at a time, until some one asked him how old he was.

It has been brought to the notice of the well known manufacturer of Trin er's American Elixer of Bitter Wine that in some part3 of the country a special tax is required for the sale of this remedy. He at once notified the government and received the decision that Triner's American Elixer of Bitter Wine and Triner's Abgelica Bitter Tor.ic are both recognized as medicines and can be sold without a special tax. Our people have known this for years, because in maladies of the digestive organs these remedies always give the j best satisfaction. The factory of Mr. Jo?. Triner is a model of cleanliness, and the herbs and wine used in the manufacture of his specialties are of the best possible quality. Use Triner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine in all cases of loss of appetite and of bodily strength. All drug stores. Jus. Triner, 616-622 So. Ashland Ave., Chicago, 111.

BROWN & CO., BIG BROKER AGE FIRM, GOES TO WALL. LIABILITIES VERY LARGE May Be Over $1,000,000 Stock Market Made Nervous by Result of Last Saturday's Spectacular Session. New York, Aug. 26. The failure of the big brokerage firm of A. O. Iirown & Co., for a sum popularly estimated as running well above $1,000,000, sent a nervous thrill through the stock market Tuesday. Coming as a climax to the bewildering trading in last. Sat urday's market, the suspension cre ated an extraordinary degree of pub lic interest, but was looked upon by high stock exchange InJerests of fering an early sortition of the tangle growing out of the most remarkable two hours' session the New York stock exchange has known in many year. While there was no question In Wall street that the situation created by the failure could easily be taken care of, there was distinctly a feeling of apprehension lest other firms might unwittingly be drawn into the affair as . a result of the extensive orders scattered through commission houses during Saturday's spectacular pro ceedings. Enormous Trades Not Settled. The transactions of A. O. Brown & Co., covered nearly 75 per cent, of the trading in the sensational week-end session of the stock market and it was stated officially by a member of the firm that delivery had been made on only 277,000 of the more than 700,000 shares handled. How many of the outstanding shares represent the deal ings ef customers and how many were carried on the firm's account it was impossible to learn. The afternoon was filled with ru mors as to various outside sources that may have been responsible for the course of the firm in Saturday'8 market, when the total sales record ed on the floor of the exchange for the two hours of trading amounted to more than 1,100,000 shares, as against one-third of a million during the full .five-hour session of Monday, but most of these were dissipated. Mr. Bu chanan, a membej of the firm, an nounced positively that the firm had had no relations whatever with Thom as V. Lawscn. Was a Very Large Firm. A. O. Brown & Co. were members of the New York stock exchange, New York cotton exchange, Chicago stock exchange. Chicago Board of trade and the Cleveland stock exchange. They bad branch houses in Chicago, Cleve land. Buffalo. Erie, Pa., and. Toronto. In this city they maintained expensive branch offices in four of the fashion able hotels and at two uptown ad dresses. Their principal office was at 30 Broad street, but a few doors from the stock exchange building. Within the past few months the firm had spent $75,000 in refurnishing Its Broad street home. The membership of the firm In cluded Albert O. Brown, Lewis Ginter Young, G. Lee Stout, Edward F. Bu chanan. Samuel C. Brown and W. Rhea Whitman. Private wires were maintained to all principal cities. The extensive trading of the firm, Bought, ami Avhkh lias bcea lias borno the hiaaturo of and has been, mad o mnlrr his per sonal supervision since its infancy. Allow no ono to deceit you in this. Signature of It Is believed, was confined largely to New York, despite 'ie fact that th house had made a specialty of western business. Although orRanlzed only In the latter part of 1902, the firm had come to take a prominent part la trading on the stock exchange floor. John W. Rhoads, cashier of the firm, was named as assignee, with D. W. Noel as counsel. Creditors Force Failure. Whfn the failure was announce'! i member of the firm said that Its af fairs were In a badly tangled condi tion as the result of Saturday's trad Ing and that it was thought host to make an assignment at onro. It H understood that brokerage firms who were awaiting the delivery of stoc! from A. O. Brown & Co., became Im patient along toward noon and sent word that they would allow but a few more hours of grace. All attempts to secure further d"lay were futile and the suspension followed. It was also said that the bunk which carried the accounts of the house declined Tuesday, because of the unsettled condition In the affairs cf the firm following Saturday's Kpec tacular business, to further certify any of its checks. SCORES CHURCH; KILLS SELF. Fcrmer Presbyterian Pastor Commits Suicide in New York. New York, Aug. 26. Ill, half blind, criticising the church on the score of untruthfulness and insincerity and de claring that he could not worship "America's trinity success, pleasure and gold," Rev. Albert H. Trick shot and killed himself in a room In Mills hotel Tuesday. He was once pastor of a Presbyterian church In Chicago, and later had a charge at Saratoga, N. Y., but had no regular pastorate for sev eral years, obtaining an insecure live lihood as an Insurance agent. In a remarkable letter, which he left to Charles N. Dowd of this city, who had befriended him, the former pastor declared that he was lonely even in the church when he attempt ed to "square his soul by the teach ings of Jesus," and asserted that the modern church more nearly follows the example of Robert Ingersoll than those of Jesus.
