An Unsafe Bank.

James II. Maher, dong business as the
Bank Of Vernango. OF Yernango, Perkins
county, JAILED TO stand inspection under tIe
new banking law at the hands of Examiner
Sanders. AS required, proceedings were
therefore commenced in the supreme court
for the appointment of a receiver a day or
two ago. The petition, built upon the report
of Mr.. Sanders, shows That Maher has been
operating upon a capital below tho minimum I;
that he has been transacting an unsafe bust
ness, thus jeopardizing the interests of de-
positors. The court inquired into the report
and the recommendation Of the state board,
consisting Of Attorney General Leese,
Treasurer Hin and Auditor Benton, and
promptly appointed George w. Goodell, of
this city, To take charge OF the bank. This
action was taken yesterday, but OWING to
the inability of Mr.. Goodell to reach the
place in advance of the news, il was with
held from the press. These are the first pro-
ceedings taken against any bank doing busl-
ness In the state under the new law. MIR.
Sanders expresses the opinion that Mr..
Goodell will be able to save depositors from
serious loss, but that timely work might be
necessary,

The farmers of Lancaster county met in
mass convention at Bohannan's hall this
afternoon at 2 O'Clock. G. A.. Bronson, of
Yankee Hill, was called to the char. The
convention was called to consider the best
means to shut out the importation of dressed
meats to Lincoln, and other points in the
state, from Chicago and Kansas City. Wig
orous speeches were made by q number of
prominent farmers. Some of them urged
that Lancaster county alone entailed a loss
OF 81, 600 per month from the encroachment
of foreign butchers. The fact was cited that
dressed meats were shipped here from Kan
sas City and Chicago and sold to local
butchers at prices that killed nome markets,
and the necessity of combining against such
importation was strongly urged. Fully 500
farmers attended the convention. A large
number OF commission men and butchers
were also present. They took a lively in
terest in the proceedings. The chair ap-
pointed u committee on resolutions. and tho
convention adjourned to await It's report and

HEY SAW LITTLE TO ADMIRE.
Don't like the Town.

Omaha's delegation of bankers who at
tended the national convention at Kansas
City last week have very little praise Tor
that town, and more especially its social fea-
lures. While the citizens there did every
thing possible to entertain and interest them,
the place IS so provincial, so far behind, as
compared with Omaha, in public improve
ments that they saw very little to admire.
With all her boosted facilities for taking
care of large crowds, the bankers couven-
ton of 800 delegates almost swamped her.
The big Midland, the mammoth Coates and
other hotels seemed to be so crowded that
the Omaha party, who three weeks
ahead engaged nine bedrooms, discovered
on their arrival there that they would be
compelled 70 put up with three, and there
fore had TO sleep on cots. In addition to
three bed rooms, the delegation had a double
parlor AT the Midland, which served them as
headquarters, where they could meet their
friends and discuss matters OF business.

FARNUM SCHOOL.

This branch of the State Normal
School, well endowed, with its fine
library, its scientific apparatus, its
instructors in every department of
learning, especially in the useful and
solid branches, is an institution OF
which the people Of Beverly are justly
proud. At the exhibition last Friday,
music and declamations were most
prominent, but the every day work
life Of the school is the best test of its
value. How the people appreciate its
exhibitions may be realized from the
fact that the room is always crowded
and none going away dissatisfied. The
faculty deserves much credit for their
virtues, which is known as tact. The
ladies in charge of the several depart
ments are not merely skilled graduates,
but competent, experienced, and all
have the faculty of getting good deal
of hard work out of the scholars. This
is the distinguished feature Of Prof.
Dilk's management, From the pro-
gress made by pupils, with whose studies
and department we have been familiar
for long time, we can vouch for the
desirableness of the Farnum School,
as one of the highest character. The
school commences again on Thursday
January End.

Congress, as chaplain. Mr.. Cheadle
naturally resents any attempt to dis
ciplic him, and by this recommended
ton has the unique dis inction Of being
the only member Of the House who has
no place ON any committee. Speaker
Reed has therefore, one more bitter
enemy III his own party.
Congressman Harmer looks further
than Speaker Reed for the author of
his sorrow. He believes that Senator
Quay is his enemy who has done this
thing. With Il long and honorable
Congressional experience and success
full service as Il committee chairman
during the last Congress that the Re
publican party controlled, he naturally
expected, despite his friendship for
Mckinley, that he would receive some
thing more than a signments to fourth
or fifth positions on few important
committees. He was the leading Re
publican member of the Committee on
Naval Affairs during the last Congress,
and naturally his friends thought that
IHe Clldll ludllslll1 VI IllaC NoIhiliiUeoo
would come to him.
With the announcement Of Commit
tees Congress adjourned until after the
Holidays and the Hobbies are deserted,
for even the lobbyist has home or a
boarding house or hotel substitute for
one, to which he retires once year to
pay tribute to the domestic gods. The
amount of restitution to be spasmodi-
cally alleviated this Christmas time
has been materially lessened by the
mild character Of the weather. Hun
ger is perhaps enormously presumed to
be quite pleasant sensation so long as
the thermometer is above the thirties.
The display of Christmas goods is the
most remarkable ever seen in this city,
but the volume of trade is not so large
as during recent years, except last year.
Not even low prices tempt purchasers.
Senator Ingalls, took occasion on
Saturday to tender his compliments to
the Tenth Census and to express hope
that the next one would not be repe-
tition of the last in reckless expendi-
ture of money and the gathering of
useless data.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our regular Correspondent
Washington, d. c., Dec. %, 1889.


Washington, d. c., Dec. %, 1885,
The announcement of the House
committee chairmanships was made on
Saturday and the comments of his
friends on the individual assignments
are highly complimentary to Speaker
Reeds good sense. Twenty-Five out of
the fifty-six places go to the Western
States the Middle States receive six
teen, New England seven and the
Pacific Slope three, while the South
gets only one. The promptness Of the
selection of the committee is surprising.
The first howl of disappointment
come from the West, where the sup
porters of Mr.. Reed in the speakership
contest have been carefully rewarded
and where many of the leaders have
been unceremoniously turned down in
the selection of committees. Mr. Reed
seems to have felt an obligation to his
party to take good care of his oppon-
ents in the race, but there his self-im-
posed obligation ended. He could not
be expected to take care Of all the men
who had carefully searched his record
last summer and fall, to try to defeat
the pet ambition Of his life. Farmer"
Wade, of Missouri, secures the Labor
committee. Mr.. Reeds three Kansas
supporters have received substantial
evidence of his regard. Funston heads
the Agricultural committee Perkins
gets that of Indian Affairs, and Morrill,
receives the Invalid Pensions chair
manship. Carter, of Montana, who
endeavored to swing the new States
into line for Mr.. Reed, gets the appro-
pirate committee on Mines and Min
ing.
On the other hand had Representa-
tive Thompson, who is believed by the
Speakers friends to have pushed Nc
Kinley's candidacy by unfair means as
against Reed, is badly left. He is an
old and able member and ambitious
for leadership. To be practically
ignored is hardly pleasant, and al
though Mr.. Thompson said nothing
very publicly, he cornered the Speaker
in the members lobby and told him a
few things that fired the blood in the
Speakers face. AS he walked indig-
nantly away Speaker Reed looked like
a mammoth school boy who would like
to lick the boy he has just quarreled
with were that boy not too small to
strike.
But this was not the only disagree
able episode of the day. After the
Committees had been fully announced,
Mr.. Cheadle, of Indiana, in few
dignifed words, resigned his position
as member of the Committee on
Claims. A place on this committee
was offered Mr.. Cheadle in the Fiftieth
Congress and fatty refused, and the
repetition of the appointment was re-
garded as a downright insult. The
recognition of a solitary appointment
to such an important committee could
not be regarded by Mr. Cheadle as a
rebuke for having led the Republican
bolt that reelected DIR. Milburn, the
blind Democratic chaplain of the last |

THE New York City authorities
made another raid on the electric light
wires and poles a few days since and
demolished and confiscated many thous-
ands of dollacs worth of property be-
longing to the several companies. The
war on the overhead wires goes on
spasmodically, breaking out afresh
every time a poor lineman is killed by
electricity, and Che newspapers start
afresh the crusade against the wires.
Getting the wires underground, how
ever, seems slow and tedious job, not
withstanding the New York Supreme
Court recently dissolved the injunction
which had prevented the authorities
from continuing the work of removing
the wires.

IT really appears to be more than
probable that numbers Of persons are
buried before there is any justification
for funerals. 1t is not many days since
the disinterring of young woman's
coffin disclosed the fact that she had
turned around in it and torn her flesh
in the agony of premature burial, and
now comes a story from Williamsburg
of a man who was aroused from a
trance by the application Of the under
takers ice. AS in many other matters
there is often too much nervousness
about funeral arrangements.
