notice was posted on the bank door this
1norning:
Owing to the great stringency in the
money mar ct, we find ourselves wholly
unable to meet our obligations, and are
forced TO suspend payment. All creditors
will be paid in full a full statement Of
the condition of the affairs Of the bank
will be furnished in a short time.
lSgnedl II. II. BELL, Manager"
The liabilities of the Bell & Eister bank
are S7l5, 900: assets, 81 200 O00. The bank
WAS on the bonds of Forestall Bros, the
big ST. Paul contractors, who failed
short time ago. and this led to a dlstrust
that weakened the bank, and made it
impossible to secure ready cash to meet
accruing obligations
GUTHRIE, Ok, Nov 26-The sheriff,
who Is now in charge Of the Commercial
bank. has been busily engaged IN taking
a" inventory Of the assets. The creditors
are taking steps TO break the assignment,
claiming that il was "a bogus one, made
FOR the purpose of covering up the fraud
which has undoubtedly been perpetrated
According to the sherift's admission the

HUMILITY.

The hird that scars on highest wing
Builds on the ground her lowly nest;
And she that doth most sweetly sing
Sings il t5a shade, when all things rest
IN llrR and nightingale we see
N4at honor hath humility.
When Mary chose the better part,
She meekly sat az Jesus feet;
And LydL4's gently opened heart
Was made Tor Gods O.u temple meet
Faires, anI best adorned IS she
Whose clothing IS humility.
The saint that wears heavens brightest
crown
In deepest alteration bends;
The weight OF glory boss him down
