Meeting Of state Rank Creditors.

SIDNEY, Neb.,. July A.-[Special Tele-
gram to THE BEE. There was a large meet
ing of the creditors of the State bank held
resenting Frank b. Johnson, of Omaha was
present. He evidently came loaded with
propositions for q settlement on the part of
Frank b. Johnson, in the nature of COM
promise. The proposition which contained
the greatest exhibition of cheek was as fol-
lows: Frank B. johnson asked the creditors
to take the assets of the defunct bank at so
cents on the dollar. On the nominal
showing of assets, as made by the state
ment, he made some reductions, one being
that of the debt of $4,000 which he
claimed Morgan owed to him. The assets as
estimated amounted to little less than $685.
600. He then offered to pay the remainder Of
the liabilities estimated at.SS6 900, S26, 900 of
which consists Of .Morgan's paper beld by
in cash and half in Omaha and Boone county
real estate. In other words, he would pay
$21, 500 in cash, impelled by his moral obliga-
lion TO take up his own paper in the Omaha
banks, and in addition ask that the creditors
sell his real estate for him and contribute a
full $1,000 from the proceeds to make up the
balance, remunerating themselves from the
son propose to keep his promise to see that
the creditors lose nothing by the failure of
the bank. The creditors are now determined
to accept no compromise. They laugh at his
propositions and propose that unless
Mr.. Johnson has something better
trouble in the codrtsthan he has experienced
for some time ins1he past. The people Of
Sidney are noteino mood to be gulled by

CHICAGO, July A-Insurance agents are
rejoicing over the decision rendered by Judge
Clifford today. The statutes provide that
all insurance companies incorporated else
where than IN this state shall take out Ii
censes. The law has not been complied
with to any considerable extent, and
as q result the states attorney begun
several hundred suits to recover the statu-
tory penalty of $500 in each case. 1t was
necessary, in order to prove the charges here,
to get at the books of the companies in this
city. Therefore, as a test case, the states
attorney moved for an order on one company
to produce it's books. This order Judge Cliff
ford declined to grant, and unless the su-
preme court reverses the decision the statute
