STERLING, 111., Jan. 3.—Arriral of a Government bank examiner today was expected to be followed by a detailed itatement of the condition of the Bank of Prophetstown, near here, which failed at an estimated loss of $150,000 to depositors. Stockholders have ordered a thorough investigation of the causes of the bank's failure. The bank was owned privately by George E. Paddock, who had been regarded as one of the wealthiest men in this section. The failure aroused the people of the vicinity to such an extent that they stormed the institution after Uie doors had closed. About SI,OOO in cash and $3,000 in notes were found in the ▼a tilts. Behind the bank room proper the enraged depositors found a secret room with wire connections with brokerage houses in Chicago. This has given rise to the belief that the failure of the bank was due to unsuccessful stock speculation. Marines Held After Fight at South Bend Special to The Times.

Teeth That Match In replacing natural teeth with what one old fellow called artificial ones—"store teeth,” it is an art to match your remaining natural teeth. Not only is it vital to your good appearance that the new teeth be the right size, shape and color, but unless they are exactly the right, size and shape, they will not be either comfortable or properly useful. Much of our reputation for good dentistry rests upon our ability to provide artificial teeth with EVERY QUALITY necessary to the complete satisfaction of our patients.
