Hi f the First Bank Ot Ligoni Mier State Bank began with the business transactions of Solomon Mier about the year 1856 when the people, having gained confidence in the young man, began to leave their surplus with him at his store in Ligonier and received in return certificates of deposit. In the latter part of the6o's Sol Mier entered more extensively into banking and hisplace of business became known as the Banking House of Sol Mier. On January 1 1900, the men who are now the officials of the present institution associated themselves with the late Solomon Mier and the Banking House of Sol Mier became known as the Banking House of Sol Mier Company. On June 15 1905, The Banking House of Sol Mier Company qualified under the State law and became Mier Stateßank, thereby being the QOLDEST BANK in Ligonier, the LARGEST BANK in Ligonier and the FIRST STATE BAWK in Ligonier. : ' The redasons are evident as the Mier State Bank has always been known as the "“Old Reliable” and the “Bank of Secrecy” where no outsider knows your business. The standing and responsibility of this old institution are the very highest and the depositors have always known:that their business was not alone safe with the Mier State Bank, but that business entrusted to its care was unknown to the public, and the results are that the Mier State Bank has depositors in all parts of the state, who do their banking by mail. There are names on the Bank’s books today that were on . the books 50 years ago. Children’s children continue to bank with the “Old Reliable.” If not a customer why not join our large family and become one of us? We will extend to you all the courtesies and you can always get any accommddations you might need from the Mier . State Bank.

Works Ruse On Robbers. A ruse by John Hite of 1101 -Erwisy strect after he had been victimized by two colored stick-up men near the western edge of South Bend, late Monday night resulted in the capture of the men by Scuth Bend police a short time later. Yesterday the men were bound over to the circuit court charged with robbery. . According ‘' to Hite, the two men Jumpe‘d on the running board of his sedan near the corner of Scott and Division streets and, at the point of a gun ordered him to drive them to a secluded spot near the western limits of the <¢ity on Division street. There they commanded him to stop and after handling him roughly robbed him of about $3 in change and a pocket Jknife. After being robbed, Hite said he pretended to be philosophical about the loss and good naturedly offered to drive the men back to town. They fell for the idea and he let them out near the New York Central tracks. Hite immediately found a policeman who summoned several other officers, aud the squad raided several soft drink. saloons before coming upon theg two whom Hite identified as his aq% sailants. They were among a group of five that fled when the cops entered the place.where they were but were chasd and captured in the railroad vards.—Elkhart Truth. :

HAVE NO STANDING IN LAW Exponents of “Spirit Mediumship” Find Little Comfort in Appeal- : v : ing to Courts. - Subtle though the judicial mind may be, writes L. Arthur Wilder in Case and Comment, it has no place for spirit mediumship. The Michigan supreme court once had occasion to con--Bider the case of one who advertised himself as “a modern day seer,” “clairvoyant trance medium” and “clairvoyant physician,” “thoroughly conversant with the occult sciences,” permitting “a peep through the keyholq of the mysterious future” and oﬁering advice “with a strange certainty” on all business affairs and affairs of the heart, “restoring lost affections, peace and confidence to lovers and discordant families” ‘“on a positive guare anty,” locating lost, stolen and buried property and treasures and calling his business “psychometry or soul reads ing” or “prognosticating.” The court held that he was properly convicted of being a disorderly person and fur, ther that no intent was involved, sincq the offense itself was a misdemeanor, and either specific acts or advertises ment itself constituted the offense. A like attitude is taken in New York, Delaware and England, and there ig & record of a conviction in France of an impostor who claimed the power not merely to materialize a spirit bug to photograph it.

ROYAL IN ITS MAGNIFICENCE

“Founder’'s Room” In Pittsburgh Car negle Library Is a Splendid ‘Apartment. j '

A recent report of the Pittsburgh iCarnegie library contains a picture of the “founder’s room,” of which a writer in the Boston Evening Transeript says: : " “It seems to be a vast apartment,; about fifty or sixty yards long and nearly as wide. It has indirect lighting and a flagged floor, ‘upon which one might play hopscotch if one felt 4nclined. There are four or five thrones in the room, one‘on each side of the fireplace, and there is a table with a lamp on it. The room is very magnificent; it has- all the spaciousness and discomfort of a royal palace. : “What Mr. Carnegie does in this room we are not told. There are no sleeping accommodations, unless one of the thrones is really a folding bed. It does not look cozy enough to use for an office.” T

Typhold In War Time.

In the Franco-Prussian war in the year 1870 there were 73,000 cases of typhoid fever in the Germany army, Out of this number there were 7,000 deaths. In the Boer war the British prmy suffered from typhoid fever to the extent of 57,000 cases, of which &000 died. During the war with Spain e United States army was ravaged with typhoid fever. In 1898 there werq P 0,738 cases and 1,580 deaths among ES,OOO men. In other words, one man every flve contracted typhoid fever. Even among the troops which ever left the United States, but res gmlned in the various concentration t:.mps at home, one man in every six came down with the disease. In 1898 pine-tenths of the deaths which occurred among the troops in the United Btates were caused by typhold fever, =—Scientific American. ; . Subscribe for the Ligonier Ba.nner.J

Sounds Rather Fishy.

The serwvices of Harry M. Moberly as land agent for the state highway ‘commission were ended today -because the work for which he ‘was employed had been practically completed, said John D.- Williams director of the commission. Mr. Williams denied that any over friendliness of Mr. Moberly with the state board of accounts had anything to do with the termination of, Moberly's" services. A report by the state board of -acconuts was the basis of indictments returned more than a year ago, against Mr. Williams and Earl Crawford former memher of the highway commission charging them with irregularity in the disposal of surplus war material turned over to the highway commission by the government. : Elkhart Exposition.

Bl e g g -—-j:_;?‘"-‘""—‘"-¢li WORKING IN OGEAN’S DEPTHS

Most Remarkable Divers Are the Pear! "Fishers of Torres, Who " Work With Simple Equipment.

The greatest depth recorded of work done by a diver in a suit is 182 feet; this depth was reached by the Bpanish diver, Angel Erostarbe, who recovered $46,000 in silver ingots from the wreck of the steamship Skyro off Cape Finisterre. The sponge divers pf the Mediterranean work at a maximum of 150 feet, and the Australian pearlers at 120 feet. The greatest depths reached by divers without apparatus were by the pearl fishers of Tarres, mostly Malayans from the smaller islands. They go down with the aid of a stone and a loop in the rope thereto attached which they clutch with their toes, these organs being far more prehensile than in races| normally shod. They seldom venture to descend below 50 feet, & depth at which they can remain for two minutes. The stone enables them to remain at the bottom while they are sweeping the pearl oysters into a basket attached to*the stone. When the diver feels that he must come up to breathe he releases his toes from the becket in the rope ~and at once floats to the surface. Young and healthy Malayan divers working oyster beds below six fathoms make four descents an hour during four hours in the morning and the same during four hours in.the afternoon following a four-hour rest. A civilized man at a depth of 42 feet finds such a dive-in-tolerable after a single minute. TRIED TO “BEAN” THE HAWK ‘New York City Employee Flings Pa- - per Weight Ineffectively at . Daring .Pigeon-Eater. There was a hunt for game yesterday atop the municipal building. The game was variously described as a hawk and an eagle. The hunters were a couple of score of city employees, led by Alderman Carstairs and Jack Kennedy, chief clerk of the water department. The ‘“guide,” if such he could be called, was Elevator Dispatcher Peter Kearney, whose office is on the roof of the building, and whp has been watching the big bird capture and devour pigeons. “The bird is two feet high at least, and his wings spread four feet,” said Kearney. “He’s black, but his breast has streaks of white on it. He has a brown bill, with a black spot right on the end of it.” ; The hunters trooped out on the roof just after Kearney had informed them the bird had settled on a ledge 15 feet below, with a pigeon in its mouth. There was a long discussion, and finally Frank Halliday tied a paper weight to a long string, and tried to “bean” the hawk. The weight fell pretty close to the hawk’s head, and' it soared up, taking refuge in the folds of Civic Virtue’s bronze skirt.—New York World. ~ Practical Trade School Idea. London has elaborated the trade school idea to 4nclude the work of outfitting women with an equipment to face life’s struggle. In the six trade schools 6f London, four of which are under the direct control of the London county council, and two of which are connected with the polytechnic .institutions, aided by grants from the lLondon county council, various trades of the traditional feminist classes, such as dressmaking, ladieg’ tailoring, corset making, millinery, embroidery, walstcoat making, cooking, laundry work and upholstery, are being taught. In addition to competent teachers these schools have enlisted in their interest advisory committees of emPployees of the classes of workwomen being developed by the schools, one result of which is that employment at profitable wages awaits the capable students of these schools. The vocational school idea is spreading and extending through the civilized world, -with the result that it brightens the pro@pects of youth and heartens young people with the knowledge that they will enter upon their career with some technical acquaintance with and some ‘manual dexterity in those lines of work in which the world stands constantly in need of workers.

: Wanted Quick Settiement. ' The humors of that type of lawyer Wwho is known as the “ambulance ghaser” are not lost upon Representative Howard of Georgia, who, by the way, has not even sympathy for the type. He recounts the story of an elderly negro who was run over by a wagon. A sympathetic attorney rushed to the hospital and offered to handle the case on a contingent fee. “Go 'way f'um me, white man,” said the old darky, feebly. “But I want to help you,” said the lawyer. : "The old man showed a gleam of interest. ‘ - “Does you?” he said. * The lawyer nodded. , “Den,” said the victim, “you go out an’ find de man dat run into me and bus’ his haid wide open!” : : _Hen Was Practical. The Johnsons had an old hen which insisted upon neglecting her comfortable nest to lay a daily egg in the coal cellar. - “I can’t think,” fretted Mrs. Johnson, ‘as she and her small son, Joe, together hunted for that particular egg, ‘“why this one hen insists upon using the coal cellar.” . “Why, that’s easy, mother,” exclaimed Joe in astonishment. “I g’pose she’s seen the sign, ‘Now is the time to lay in your cosal’” -y Mary Pickford at Crystal next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. i x ¥ ITP 4 See Mary Pickford as a pert scrappy but tender hearted girl of New York’'s Kast Side in “Little Annie Rooney” at Crystal next Tuesday Wednesday‘ and Thursday. . ,
