Elsewhere will bo found a series ofresolutions adopted by the District Hank-ers' association, and it will be well for allhaving any business with our bankersto read them. Whenever n check ismade upon a bank, the war tax law re-

Our local bankers are anxious that their patrons willfully understand this provision of thelaw, in order that they mav escape, prosecution for its violation. The law becomes operative today, July 1st.

Abram Nave, one of St. Joseph'smost prominent business men, and thehead of the Nave McCord tnerchantilecompany, died nt his home in that city,on the 22d of June.

At the time of his death hewas in his ST5 year. Ho continued inactive business, until a few years agowhen he divided up his estate amonghis children, his son Samuel Nave, tak-ing charge of tho Nave interests. Thestock in the linn is equally divided botween the Nnvo and McCord families.Mr. McCord was also associated withMr. Nave in many other business ventures.

U. Wilson, a wealthy lumberdealer ot Forest City, on his way to Ex-celsior Springs stopped over at Dear-born last Saturday to exchange andtalk over reminiscences with his old-tim- e

Mr. Wilson's father kept a j

hotel .at which the Doctor boarded, andof course after forty year's separation,their recent meeting was greatly enjoyedby each. Ye editor hod the two at din-ner with his family Sunday and to henrMr. Wilson relate his boyhood experi-ences and escapades, in his inimitablemanner, was certainly entertainingas well as very amusing. Ibelieve the experience of ourour country verifies the statements thatmany of our most successful businessmen nre from this same class of boys,reared in small country towns and way-side hotels. Their active minds, earlydrink in the busy woys ot the worldthrough theso avenues nnd it makesthem better prepared to cope with life.

A little surprise was in store for ourForest City friends last week. Rev. A.R. Hunt announced his withdrawalfrom tho baptist and affiliation withthe Christian church, saying he hadbeen contemplating this step for thepast livo years. Rev. Hunt has tilledthe pulpit for our Haptist brethren forthree years and nine months. He is atalented young man, and by his pleasing manners nnd address made friendsand gained tho reepeot of every onewith whom he came in contact. Ourwish is, may Rev. Hunt in his now lieldof labor, meet as many friends and admirers, as ho leaves behind in forestCity.

-- Postmaster Curry has received a cir-cular letter from Perry S. Heath, firstassistant postmaster general, relating tothe act of congrees approved June 13,providing ways and means to meet warexpenditures, and especially to thatpart lixing a tax ot Z cents on everyorder for payment in the United Statesof any sum of money not exceedingclOO, on and after July 1. The circularcalls nttention to the fact that in lieu ofrequiring that revenue stamps be af-

fixed to money orders of the class described, the bill provides that the priceof such money orders shall be increasedby a sum equal to the value ot thestamps.

Tho receipts of hoes at the St. Joseph stock yards broke the record for asingle day, being 9,000 head, or 2,000 inexcess of the receipts ot any previousday. This phenomenal increase is drawnfrom new territory to this marKei. inefame of St. Joseph as a stock shippingpoint has been gradually but firmlygrowing, and consignments ot both swineand cattle are daily coming from regionscontiguous to Omaha and Kansas City.This menace to the markets of thesetwo points has resulted in a vigorousprotest to shippers to continue doingbusiness with their respective nearbymarkets. In order to protect these sameBhippers the fact of concealing-- f heirnames has been made imperative.

- Enoch A. Welty, of Mound City,has caught tho "itching," and at.ks forthenonunation of county clerk at thohands of the Republican county conven-tion. He is so well known to tb partythat it seems to us unnecessary to say aworu auoui nun. no lias iei-i- i for e irsone of the wheel horses of the partv ofour county, nnd as far as we know nevershirked a single duty imposed u:onmm by ins party, lie is tirilhantlv

ualiliod for the Hsition. His announcement can bo seen in its properplace in mis issue.

The name of W. H. Licev, of C'lavlownsuip, appears in this issue or ourpaper, as a candidate for circuit clerk.He is n young man of the highest mo.nlcharacter, of undaunted Republicanism,nnd who represenlsa family of Republicans that has ever been loyal and trueto the party. There can bo vn questionas to his litness nnd qualifications fortho ollice. He comes 'from Clav township, n strong recommendation also fortho young man. Should he receive thenoiiiiuatinr: he undoubtedly will make asstrong n r.iee as any one should ask.
