A Nebraska Bank Fails.

OMAHA, Neb., June 13.-Bradstreet
received report Friday that the doors
of the Central National bank of Broken
Bow had been closed. In commercial
circles the report created much surprise,
in view of the long and substantial ca
reer of the institution. The deposits of
the institution were the heaviest in the
interior of the state. No idea can be OBJ
tanned of the situation. It is said the
trouble is the result of the great amount
ofpaper the bank was carrying for farm
ers and business men in the surround
ing country, and its inability to realize
on the same in view of recent crop
failures. Depositors will lose nothing.

Worth It's Weight In Gold.

times it's weight in gold In Nanchuria
the same root under different name

which in order to be highly valuable

only by the mandarins, priests and

roots of this wonderful (?) plant not
weighing more than the tenth of an

An Assumed Name.

There is quaint old man in Man
chester, Eng, who goes by the unique
name Of Gagadig Gigadab. His original
name, SO tho story goes, was John
Smith. but many years ago be began to
brood over the possibilities of mistaken
identity involved in such a common
name. The name figured frequently in
the criminal records. and he became
abnormally apprehcnsivo lest he might
be confused with some of these bad
John Smiths. At last what he feared
so much actually happened. One morn
ing the papers recorded the capture Of
an accountant in bank for cmbezzle-
ment, and through some blunder of the
reporter the identity of the cmbezzler
was confused with the subject of this
paragraph, who was also bank NC
countant. Then and there he deter
mined to assume name like unto no
other ever borne by mortal man. And
in Gagadig Ggadab most people will
agree that he has done so.
