BANKER TUPPER
SELLS OUT
His Interest and Place in Citizens
Banks Taken by S. M.
Stewart.
An Important Change That Came
as a Complete Surprise
To All.
An announcement was made Wed­
nesday morning of a most impor­
tant change in the business circles
of Worthington, that came as a
complete surprise to nearly every­
one, when it was made known that
Cashier C. T. Tuper of the Citizens
National Bank had sold his interest
in that institution to Mr. Sam M.
Stewart, a prominent capitalist and
former business man of this city,
who also takes Mr. Tupper's place
as Cashier of the bank.
The de»l was consummated on
Tuesday, and Mr. Stewart was at
once elected a director and cashier
of the bank.
Mr. Tnpper does not know yet
where he will locate, but expects to
sutde somewhere on the Pacific
Coast, and will leave in about
throe weeks with His tamily for a
trip through that country. Mr.
Tupper established the Citizens
National Bank about five years
ago, and during his administration
as cashier the institution has en­
joyed a profitable and steadily in.
creasing business. Mr. Tupper is
&n aggressive hustler and he al­
ways worked hard for the ubuild
ing of Worthicgton, and his re"
moval will prove a distinct loss
to the city.
Mr. Stewart is justy regarded
as one of our shrewdest business
men. and he has also had coosid
erable experience in the banking
business, both at Ashton, Iowa,
and at Brewster, this county.
While the Advance regrets the
departure of Mr. Tupper, it is
gratifying to know that his place
is taken by a man of Mr. Stewart's
stamp and standing in the commun­
ity, and we are pleased to see him
once more take an active part in the
business interets of the city. With
Mr. Patterson as president and Mr.
Stewart as cashier the Citizens Bank
could not very well escape a pros­
perous career.
Worthington Recreation Parlor.
There will soon be opened in our
nity by Ralph D. Stauffer rooms of
the above name. R. H. Sykes, of
Bay lis,.
111., arrived here last Wed­
nesday to look after his land inter­
ests, and with him his brother-in
law, Mr. M. T. Stauffer, wno is a
traveling man.
In looking over our city as to re­
creation and amusement, he found
we were short along that line in his
way of seeing it.
After talking with a few of our
citizens and meeting with encour
agemnt, he went before the city
council last Friday evening with
his proposition.
The rooms will contain two forty
two box ball alleys, and a merry
go-round for the little folks. Box
ball is a new recreation along the
line of bowling, but not so stren­
uous, and yet a game of science,
and enjoyed by both ladies and
gentlemen. The merry-go-round
is for the little folks only, and is
highly recommended ts a health
giver for the little one as he
works his own way. There will
be one afternoon given each week
to the mothers, and they will be
gladly welcomed to come and
give the little ones a ride.
Mr. Stauffer will perhaps remain
here untilhis son arrives from Den­
ver some time next week. Young
Mr. Stauffer will endeavor to or­
ganize recreation clubs. No prizes.
will be given, but in place will en
tertain you at luncheon when the1
series is out. It will be conducted
strictly in amoral way and if so we
cannot see Why it should not benefit'
all, and especially the young peo­
ple.
ED. RAINES A SUICIDE
Prominent Farmer of Dewald
Ended Life Last
Sunday.
Hung Himself in the Barn Alter
Eating a Hearty
Dinner.
Discouragement Over Financial
Affairs Assumed to be the
Cause of Rash Act.
The peope of this city were great­
ly shocked last Sunday afternoonSto
learn that A. E. Raines, a well
known young farmer living on one
of Senator Shell's farms in Dewald
township, had committed suicide by
hanging himself in the barn on the
place.
The body was discovered before
life was extinct by a young son of
Mr. Lee, bis housekeeper, and Mrs.
Lee cut him down and telephoned
for Dr. Weidow, of this city, and a
neighbor, but Raines died before
the doctor arrived.
Baines had eaten a bearty dinner
and seemed in usual good spirits,
but in the afternoon while in the
barn the suicidal.igapja seized him
and he secuwif* a^xope around a
joist, thenjtandingpon a pail while
he adjusted the noose about his neck
he kicked the bucket from under
him. When discovered he seemed
to have repented of his rashness,
and was evidently endeavoring to
save himself. He was quickly cut
down, and efforts made to revive
him, but it was too late.
Coroner Williams, of Wilmont,
was notified and went down to view
the remains, but decided,
was neueesary.
It is said the deceased had seemed
much depressed for some weeks
past by financial troubles and the
gloomy crop prospects, and had oc­
casionally dropped remarks that in
the light of subsequent events indi­
cated suicidal intent, but to which
no attention was paid at the time.
While possibly hard pressed for
ready cash there was no apparent
reason for his worry over the out­
look. He was a single man and his
parents, living in Illinois, were
well to do. It is said he had been
expecting help from home, but its
failure to arrive when expected
greatly depressed him.
The remains were taken in charge
by Undertakers Chaney and Mac
kay and prepared for burial. On
Tuesday three of his brothers came
up from Illinois to look after his
affairs, and took the body to that
6tate for burial. The funeral will
be held there today under Masonic
auspices.
The deceased was born in Vermil­
ion, Edgar county, Illinois, on uly
Uth, 1870. In 1895 he was married
ro Miss Kate Morrow, who lived
only three months after their mar­
riage. He leaves a father and moth­
er, three brothers and one sister.
Be was a member of the Fraternity
Lodge No. 101, A. F. & A. M., of
this city. He was a man of good
character, and well thought of by
those who knew him.
County History.
Arthur P. Rose, a former resi­
dent of Worthington, well known
to a majority of our citizens, has
returned to this city after an ab­
sence of four years in Washington,
Oregon and Montana, where he has
been engaged in the work of writ­
ing state and county histories. He
is now manager of the Northern
History Publishing Co., and is ar­
ranging to publish a very complete
and comprehensive history of No­
bles County. His early training as
a printer, his experience as a writer
and his long reidence in this county
particularly fit him for the work
proposed, and we anticipate that his
History of Nobles County will be a
work of accuracy and that it will
prove most valuable to all who
desire complete knowledge of the
hitory of the county.
