Washington Street Solomon was reputed to be the wisest man of his times, in fact he is still recognized as- a man of won- I derful ability in solving problems that the average person would find difficult. Just what he would do in the present day with its many complications is hard to tell and for that rea- son it would be just rifbt to compare him with Mayor William H.

Dunlap and some of bis problems which require time and considerable effort to adjust in anything like a satisfactory manner. The latest problem of the mayor was that which occurred last night. A certain South Mill street store reported that the cash register had been touched and a certain young man under twenty years of age was isuspected. The police were not long in solving the matter. The young man was rounded up and soon admitted that he had tapped the cash register of the store, owned by a friend, for the price of a license for his machine.

He had not been working for several months ana was without money. Tn fact he bad touched the cash register on several occasions according to the police. The friend and owner of the store did not want to prosecute the young man. Mayor Dunlap was of the opinion that the case merited punishment of some kind. By agreement of the parties concerned, the matter was finally adjusted through the kindly offices of the mayor, by the young man turning over his car, a second hand one of little sale value, to the man, whom be had been robbing.

Everybody is satisfied, there is no need of prosecution, a young man has been taught a lesson and if is hoped that he will not repeat liis offense in the future.

WINTER 210 CWash ington Pennsylvania Making Quota Accidents Being Down 111 Campaign On Railroads Jn Owen Penfield Fox this city has one of the coming magazine artists of the country. 11 fact, lie has already arrived, in the strict sense of the word, as his drawings and sketches are now being used in it least five of the magazines of the day, and the prospects are bright for an enlarged field of operations, either with a larger group of magazines or some magazine desires the exclusive services of a talented artist such as he. At the start of his effort to realize his life ambition as an illustrator, a number of years ago, Mr. Fox specialized in drawings of in- Jians, which race lie studied from avery possible angle, and soon in he limited field of this line of work he was recognized for the accuracy with which he depicted thesvJ people. In the course of his work he realized that to reach his full ambition there were other types of drawings that would help him reach 1 is goal.

Now ho draws every type of stiil and living life for use in magazines and his work shows the effect of hard study of the various types of life represented, such as horses, bears and all types of wild animals, ships, ancient, and modern, and in fact anything that might be required. One of the magazines with which he has been, associated to a very considerable extent in the past year Brief Stories, a short story magazine. I 11 the past year this magazine has used numerous drawings of Indians, cowboys, horses, ships and many other timely designs. In the current issue of this magazine the frontispiece is made up of drawings made by Mr. Fox.

Depositors of the First State Bank of New Castle, closed considerably over a year ago by Peter G. Cameron, secretary of banking, may look forward to another dividend on rhe amount that was owing them at the time the bank was closed, Attorney R. L.

Wallace, counsel for the secretary of banking, stated this morning. The amount of the dividend, which will be the second and final dividend, depends to a considerable extent on the collection of monies due the institution and as yet un-1 collected' and the collection of the! assessment made against the stock-; holders of the institution, which was forty percent of the par value of the capital stock of the bank. Indications are that it will be from ten to twelve per cent, making ninety percent or slightly bet- er than the depositors will receive back as a result of the excellent work done by the bank examiners and other connected with the ad- of the affairs of the bank. Some of the stockholders have already paid their assessment, while others have been sued and judg- nent obtained. It is planned to 010 others who have not yet been Tiied and who have not paid their assessments.

The final dividend cannot be paid before April and it may be slightly than that before it is made but it will be made as soon as the affairs of the bank are in such shape as to permit it.
