They were compelled to depend absolutely upon themselves, and that they have so well withstood disaster and so few banking failures have followed is greatly to the credit of American bankers everywhere.

Two more games were played last evening in the billiard tournament, the first contest being between 0. France and Dr. Mangold, the former winning by a score of 100 to 48. In this contest France made the high run of the tournament, when he finished his game with a run of thirty billiards. Mangold played a steady game an d was in excellent form. Peterson again demonstrated his ability as a player when he won his fourth game of the series by defeating Elzey by a score of 80 to 87. Peterson has shown remarkable form in these contests and will prove a hard customer from all appearances to beat, and it now looks as though he would secure the champion, ship. A large crowd was again in evidence, and the many brilliant plays were roundly applauded. WANTS THE LAND (Continued from Page 1.) probably introduce in the senate after the holidays.
