Religiously, Dodd is behind none of
her sister towns. Here are organized
bodies of Baptists, Methodists, Cum.
berland and Old School Presbyterians
and Christians. One neat little church
sufiices for four of the denominations
and the Christian brethren meet
at the school-house. The town is in.
corporated and is orderly, and the
people hospitable and pleasant to
dwell among.
One of the best advertisements the
place can have and recommendations
TO responsibility is the excellent

Brother Stevens, who not long since

ST. JOSEPH, MO.

ST.. JOSEPH, May 1.-THE State
Savings bank of this city suspended
and assigned to-day. G. B. Grover, the
president, makes statement tonight,
which will be published tomorrow,
to the eff sct that the bank was init
mately connected with Donnell, Law
son 81 Simpson of New York, and has
been for long time large depositor
in the New York national banks which
suspended to-day thereby necessitaiing
suspension. One suspension was made
upon receipt of a telegram from the
firm of Donnell, Lawson II Simpson,
informing us of their suspension and
directing US to close in order to protect
our iepositors. Mr.. France further
states: "We hope to resume in few
days. Our affairs here are in good con-
dition, with no local embarrassment OF
losses. Our assets are intact and avail
able. 1t is our belief that Donnell
Lawson Il Simpson will resume very
soon, and that we are fully protected
in New York, and will pay all de.
positors and stockholders in full, and
have our surplus intact"

Special 10 the Gazette.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 1.-THE finan-
cial crash in New York had the effect
here to cut down transactions per-
ceptibly, but caused no great excite
ment. At the stock yards heavy
buyers for shipments east were en-
tirely quiet. .On Change there was lit
tie disposition to trade. Prices fell,
but the belief and hope is still strong
that the crisis is only due to specula-
ton, and that business will not suffer
seriously. Perhaps this feeling of con-
iidence is largely due to the fact that
ulatiye market lately.
The failure of Donnell, Lawson &;
Simpson was the one most calculated
to affect Southwestern interests. Don
nell IL Lawson were formerly of St.
Joseph, and Simpson of Kansas City.
The firm was formed in New York
with n heavy capital. From their
known wealth and extensive Western
business acquaintance they have
established very wide connections in
this section, and We're correspondence
of many banks in Missouri, Kansa.
and Texas. Their failure results from
that of the Metropolitan bank, and IL
the only one which excites anxiety
here.

Special Correspondence OF the Gazette.
DoDD CITY, May ll.-Possibly you
have several times passed by this little
town of Dodd, and looked from the
windows of the Trans-C Continental
train and apeculated none at all as to
the possible Importance of the station.
But 1t Is important. 1t is in the midst
of one of the finest farming regions in
North Texas, black waxy land SO rich
and productive as to well repay the la.
Dor of working it. If you have passed
this way you must have noticed the
handsome two.story hotel just cpro-
site the depot, and that alone indicates
the spirit of the residents. Along
the one business street
are some ten business houses,
and two of the buildings are substan-
tial brick, containing stocks of goods
quite full and well selected. This
brick building is occupied by Sadler &
Sweeney, dry goods, and Vannoy &
Organ, druggists. The grocery firms
are Glover, Lee q Co., J. A. KincaId
& Co., b. S. Stevens g. Co., w. A.
Mundell & Co. and b. l.. Royse are in
the dry goods business. McDade &
MCGEE carry snug stock of hardware.
and seem as successful as they are
pleasant. Marsh & Bedford deal out
drugs and kindred things, and Miss
| Matte Organ provides millinery for
tile fair ladies OF the town and sur.
rounding country.
One of the largent trades conducted
here is by $. ID. McGee, who handles
grain and lumber. He tells me thai
Dodd City is quite center for grain
handling, and the extent of his bnsi.
ness proves ii. Indeed, so great ia

CHICAGO, May 14.-There was album

day. j. G. Neeley, cashier of the
Merchants National, voiced the gen.
eral sentiment when he said: "The
banks of Chicago are perfectly sound;
we do not hold the railroad stock
which gave the trouble to the
New York banks. There are
no speculative banks ia Chicago,
and there Is no occasion
for alarm here. We were never in bet.

York caused the widest excitement,
