Thirty miles of the line were built, and at the

America and Australia, though when began
to analyze the points of similarity they did
not amount to much beyond wooden houses

Neuralgia and the Nutmeg.

Mr. Gould has been quite free from his old
enemy, neuralgia, for three months past. 1t
is interesting to note here that just three
months ago suggested to Mr. Gould that the

nutmeg and wear it hung around his neck.
Almost Immediately subsequent 10 my sug-

DEATH OF A WILDCAT.
n Typical Case of Bank Failure Be-
fore the War.


As a typical case of the abiectest failure
the Nemaba Valley bank of Brovnville ma
be taken After the time when the cashier,
seeing reason to anticipate run, had thought
fully locked the front door and slipped out
the back one, the editor of The Brownville
Advertiser obtained leave to examine TIN.
books, and announced in the next issue of his
paper that everything was sound, only tina
was needed. According to his account thera
was $50. 900 of the Nemaha Valley currency
in circulation. The assets of the concern con-
sisted of stock notes, S73. 900; discounted
paper at thirty and sixty days, over S., 100;
cash, over $1,000" 1t surely required q
western journalist, Enthusiastically i'm
pressed with the need of maintaining public
confidence to state that such condition Of
things indicated soundness.
Suppose, for instance that it should trans
pire that the "stock notes" were virtually
worthless. Such thing was not uncommon
as the stockholders of the old state banks used
often to pay up their capital by giving
their personal notes, and then when occasion
offered they could take measures to make
these notes entirely worthless. Suppose,
further, that the discounted paper had been
received from those who were not reliable, at
least in financial crisis. Suppose also that
the alleged leash" consisted of the bills of other
banks as worthless as the one under investi-
CATION and suppose, finally, that the books
had been fixed" and that in reality much
more than $4,000 Of currency had been
issued
Such was very nearly the condition of the
NenIaha Valley bank. The machinery of the
courts was put in motion to enforce the re-
demptlon of the currency, and nearly 81 .O0J
of the old bills are stored among the records
of the district court Property was levied
upon that usually turned out to belong to
some one else, and finally the sheriff reports
having levied upon and sold q safe, a table, o
stove and letter press, which altogether
brought S63. The last plea which the absen.
president ventured to make was. that the So
called "Nemaha Valley bank" could not be
sued, since in reality it had not been legally
incorporated at all Overland Monthly.
