FIRST STATE BANK
The Oldest Bank in Dewey County.
CAPITAL- $10,000
Some people have an idea that in or
der to have a bank account, they must have
a large sum to deposit that the bank doesn't
care to be bothered by small accounts.
This, however, is a mistaken idea, as we
welcome all new accounts, and the same
courtesy and service is accorded the small
depositor as those in more fortunate cir
cumstances.
It is our object and wish to serve the
public in financial matters in a manner that
shall be satisfactory to all.
Your valuables will be secure if kept in
our Safety Deposit Boxes, which are en
closed within our fire proof vault.

MAINE GUNS FOUND
BE MUZZLED
THE SPANISH CONTENTION THAT DECKS
WERE CLEARED FOR ACTION IS
PROVED FALSE.
Havana, June 17.—The Spanish
assertion that the battleship Maine
was cleared for action as she lay
in the local harbor just prior to
the explosion of Feb. 15, 1898,
was proved false today.
As the giant pumps cleared the
water from the cofferdam and re
vealed the twisted, torn masses of
rusted steel of what was once a
powerful fighting machine, they
showed the rusted guns in the port
guns aft ranged to the rear and at
rest with the muzzle caps in their
places.
Gazing at the shattered wreck
age covered with mud and slime,
members of the American board
wondered tonight how any person
on board escaped with their life.
All forward of the engines was
shattered and destroyed. Aft,
however, the old sea dog is solid
and it is believed could be made
watertight should it be decided to
do so later on.
The explosion seems to have
been forward on the starboard side,
but the experts refuse to hazard a
guess whether the magazine ex
ploded after the initial' detonation.
It was expected that some of the
bodies known to be in the hull
would be uncovered, but none
were seen. It is presumed that
many of them are covered with
the thirteen years' accumulation of
mud and salt, and the workers are
proceeding slowly and deliberately.
There is a general feeling of pro
test among the Americans here
over the program of the govern
ment to bring tlip bodies of the
heroes home in the collier Leoni
das. They assert that the least the
government could do for the hon
ored dead is to send a battleship
for them, and it is understood a
suggestion will be made to Wash
ington to that effect if many bodies
are found,
The Cuban government lias al
ready arranged to honor the
Maine's dead when they are sent
to Arlington. The harbor forts
will be manned and, as the special
carrying the caskets passes the har
bor mouth a national salute will
boom from the big guns in the
fortifications.

TWO ILLINOIS FARMERS WILL GARNER
GRAIN IN SAME WAY FENCE WAS
WHITEWASHED.
Henry O. Whitmore and T. L.
Oakland, Illinois farmers, residing
between Dekalb and Sycamore, are
going to have their wheat fields
harvested and the grain stacked
and thrashed through much the
same ruse as that employed by
Mark Twain's youthful hero in
enticing his playmates into hard
work.
In this instance the "playmates"
will be staid bankers, lawyers, mer
chants—men of affairs in the com
munity around the two farms—
and they are expected to wield
sickles, scythes and cradles with as
much enthusiasm as Tom Sawyer
infused into the boys whose envy
he aroused by expatiating on the
responsibility involved it} white
washing a fence.
The inspiration is Mr. Whit
more's. As his and Mr. Oak
land's wheat grew higher—togeth
er they have about nine acres—he
began to worry about getting
enough hands to garner it. Mr.
Oakland also worried. Then came
the inspiration. Mr. Whitmore
recalled that the people of his sec
tion were proud of the circum
stance that on their soil the first
Marsh reaper—antedating the ear
liest of similar contrivance—was
tried and parfected.
"Aha!" ejaculated Mr. Whit
more to Mr. Oakland, "we'll just
work on that."
"Aha!" echoed Mr. Oakland.
"We will, but how?"
Mr. Whitmore reminded his
neighbor of the exploit of Tom
Sawyer and unfolded his plan.
So communications were sent
out recalling the Marsh reaper epi
sode and stating that when the two
fields were ripe, which will be in
about a month, a "cutting bee"
would be held—to demonstrate
that when the hand of a worker is
drilled to the use of a certain tool
it never looses its cunning.
So old-time harvest hands—the
bankers, lawyers, merchants and
men of affairs—who not since their
early youth have wielded a sickle,
cradle or other farm implement,
will gather on the nine acres and
swing the same t6ols they did fifty
or sixty years ago, in an effort to
outdo each other. For all the re
cipients of the invitation have re
sponded joyfully, even as Tom
Sawper's friends responded to his
cunning.—Chicago Record-Herald.
OPEN AIR LIBRARY FOR HOBOE8.
William Wheeler Fippen, justice
of the peace of Penryn, Cal., has es
tablished a library for hoboes in a
grove of trees near his place. It is
believed that his hobo library is the
only one of its kind in the United
States. Books, magazines and daily
newspapers are supplied.
In addition to having shelves sus
pended from the limbs of the tree*
and cases standing against the large
trunks of the oaks and pines, Fip
pen has placed a long table in the
grove, supplied with two benches
and several armchairs for the read
ers. Fippen has few hoboes to deal
with in his court, because they all
know him and respect him.
A PRETTY COMPARISON.,
Daughter—But I don't, intend to
marry yet I want to study.
Mother—Absurd! The men will
only think less of yon in the end if
you know much.
Daughter—Oh, now, mamma, you
always expect other men to be like
papa.
