eo,ual strength with President Mitchell,

. COOD SHOWING f OR ELGIN
Q. E. McCulley returned last evening
from Elgin where he went to attend a
share holder's meeting of the First
National Bank of Elgin. At this meeting
it was decided, without a dissenting voice,
to increase the capital stock of the bank
to $50,000. The present capitalization
is $25,000 therefore it will be seen that
the .increase doubles the capital stock.
The entire new stock issue was sub
scribed for. This speaks well for the
thrift and business enterprize of the
Elgin bank and also demonstrates that
the First National Bank of Elgin has
complete faith in the city in which it is
located.- ...''' .. .

DECIDED
Fred Savare, a Canadian, . died about
two o'clock this morning in one of the
boxes of the Union Star Saloon. From
information secured today at the saloon
in which he died, the deceased had been
drinking for several days and last night
about midnight was found lyins upon
the sidewalk, to all appenrances "dead
drunk." He was brought inside the sa
loon and placed in a chair where he re
mained a few moments, then he got up
and entered the toilet, where he was
found a short'timo after leaning up in the
corner apparently sound asleep. Some
men who were playing a game of cards
brought him out of the toilet and placed
him on a table in one of the boxes,
thinking that he would sleep off the ef
fects of the liquor, resumed their game.
About two hours after he had been placed
on the table his breathing became labor
ed and one of the players entered to
learn what was causing the trouble and
reported that the man was about to' die.
At this point it was thought best to call
the night marshal. This was d ma but
when he arrived the man was dead.
Dr. Smith was then called but found it
impossible to restore life.
Savard, was forty years of age, a lum
berman by occupation and a member of
the Order of Foresters of America. He
has one brother some place in Alaska
and another in Eau Clare, Wisconsin and
a father residing in Quebec. The body
has been placed in the care of Coronor
Heny but no igquest will be held.
The funeral will be held under .' the
auspices of the Foresters, but the exact
data of the funeral cannot be announced
until the brother in Eau Clare is haerd
from.
