CROOKED BANKERS.
Arrests to Be Made In Connection
With an indianapolis Failure.

CHICAGO, Aug. "a special to The
Tribune from Indianapolis says:
1t is learned here that there will.
likely be a number of arrests as result
of the Indianapolis National bank fail
ure. Evidence made public shows the
defunct concern was grossly misman-
aged, and that the $1,10O,0OO of de-
posits were strewn about with lavish
hands. 1t has been given out already
that the $1,500,000 of loans carried by
the bank are worthless to such de-
gree that depositors may not realize
rs cents onsthe dollar.
Loaned to Themselves.
The most serious charge, however, is
that individual stockholders were per-
mitted to borrow many times over what
is allowed by the 10 per cent rule. T. P.
Haughey, the president, is charged with
having borrowed 100000 from the
bank, and large manufacturing con-
Germ here in which he is interested is
said to have secured over 100000. Two
concerns operated by sons of President
Haughey are also said to have been
kept up by generous loans from the
bank. On the day prior to the failure
the clearing house committee was able
to pick only $4,000 of safe securities
out OF 100000 in the banks possess
sion. These events have brought about
steady runs on the other banks, which
are being kept up. and those we'll in
formed speak of the situation here as
decidedly threatening.

The "Cllange.'


Philadelphia Enquirer: Last fall
we we're solemnly assured that existing
conditions were ruinous and that the
country wanted change. The major
ity of the people seemed to be OF that
opinion. Well. the change has come,
and here are some of the details of the
change:
Depreciation of s2,o0o,o 100000 in the
value of American securities.
All the plate glass factories in Amer
lea shut down for an indefinite period.
Blast furnaces banking fires every
day in the week, curtailing the output
of pig iron enormously.
Textile mills of all sorts in New Eng
land either shutting down or preparing
to do so. ..
All the large iron mines of the Mich
igan districts shut down or running
with short force.
Wool at the lowest figures ever
known.
Wheat at the lowest price in two gen
erations.
Balance of foreign trade heavily
against us.
Money tied up in banks and vaults
with no accommodations to any but reg
ular customers, and few new loans o.
anv kind.
More men out of work than at any
time since the panic OF 1873.

Banker l. p Baker of Bismarck, N.
d., advances the following ideas which
apply equally we'll to this state:
think there will be plenty of money
in circulation, not only in North Dako-
ia. but in all the Northwestern states.
North Dakota alone will realize about
S25, ,O0O.OO from her grains, live stock,
etc. The Northwest is all right. Per
capita we produce more grain, cattle
and sheep-which sell for cash-than
any other part of the United States, and
in 80 days the Northwest will drain more
hard cash from the east and from Eu-
rope than any other section. This
must improve the financial condition Of
this part OF the country. L think the
situation is more hopeful, and will con-
tinue to grow so as we near the time Tor
making shipments.
The fact that $l,500,0O0 in currency
has been shipped from New York to the
west in the past day or two strengthens
Mr.. Bakers theory very materially.
The Northwest with its boundless agri-
cultural resources is all right as COM
pared with the purely manufacturing or
mining states. All we have to do is to
keep stiff upper lip and stand solid.
The nations of the earth must be fed,
and there is just as much money to feed
them with as there ever was. when once
it is returned to circulation.

COMMITTING DEPREDAr1oNs.
Kansas Citizens Suffering From
Hordes of Tramps.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 1.-The stream
of idle worlmen from Colorado con-
tinues to pour through Kansas. Re-
ports received here by the police de-
partment state that a great many
depredations have been committed in
the towns along the lines of the Santa
Fe and Union Pacific roads. Houses
have been broken into, valuables stolen
both in the towns and country. Re-
ports to the police authorities state
that tramps and burglars all along
these lines of roads have taken advan-
tage of this movement East of idle
workmen and are plundering residences
in towns and farmhouses in the coun-
try. At Stafford tramp ordered the
Santa Fe agent to hold up his hands,
and before the agent could turn around
the tramp shot him iu the neck, intiict-
ing a dangerous wound and then

Increase in Women Voters.

TOPEKA, Aug. 2.-Returns received
at the headquarters of several women's
political organizations in this city show
that the female vote at the school cleo
tions in the country districts of Kansas
last Thursday shows an increase of
about 100 per cent. The Woman Suf-
fragists claim that this is great victory
for them, proving that the large. ma
jority of the women of the state are de.
sirous of a full election franchise.

ADRIFT ON AN ICEBERG.
From the Chicago Times.

The noon observation had placed us
eighty miles south Of Cape Farewell, and
from the crows nest there were five laros
icebergs in sight. The wind had been dying
away for the last couple OF hours, and at
length as we rounded the west side OF q
great berg it fell dead calm and about
two miles away we beheld another whaler .
IL was early spring at the cape but a finer
day in that latitude no sailor ever saw. The
sun shone bright and warm, the air wa,
balmy, aud except for the icebergs Their,
was no reminder Of the season and It's
dangers.
Our bark was the John Stafford of New
Bedford and the other craft proved to be the
Mermaid OF Liverpool. When the whaling
ships can make it convenient TO do so they
always board each other and compare notes
exchange books and papers, aud if one ship
is lacking in medicines or supplies the other
always sells her what is needed. It had been
seven months since auy Of us had seen a
strange face, aud all we're highly delighted
at the idea of a gam" or visit. No mat ser
if only tive or six out Of our crew of fiftv
could go, they would exchange our books
aud bring back all the news. Ten minutes
after we caught sight of the brig
her captain was on his way to pay
officer, Mr. Davis, thus obtained permission
10 pull or to the stranger. Indeed, ic was
etiquette that we should make the exchange.
While the four of US who were to go with
the mate were cleaning up and rigging out
In our best he was gotlng the boat ready.
When we came on deck we found the men
slyly pokiug fun at Old Careful. as Mr..
Davis had been nickusmed. He had stocked
the boat as IL offending TO make a voyage
OF l,O00 miles. He had once been cast away
aud undergone great suffering, and after
that be would not even lower a whale with
out having his boat provisioned. While he
was splendid sailor ana fine officer, and
while every one gave him credit for bravery,
this notion of his was considered "womau-
isn' and he'd in contempt.
We reached the stranger after pull Of
ten or twelve minutes over a sea almost as
quiet as mill pond. aud for two hours
were royalty entertained. We did not put
of until the captains boat returned. He
sent TO Capt. Clark jar Of pickles, ak cans
or preserved peaches, Il pound of tobacco,
aud smoked ham. What articles were
given him in exchange / did not learn, but
1t was ''dicker" between the
two captains. When we left
the brig the sky was as clear aud the
sun as bright as you ever saw them. We
had not pulled half the distance when a
squall came down on US from the north
with the speed of bullet. There was not
the slightest warning Of what was coming.
In an instant the sky grew DARK and the

had transferred ourselves TO the berg and
erected another shelter, and we were not an
hour too sOon. The rift through the center
continued to widen and deepen, and by and

bergs were separated.

winds were light our craft had no motion
except with the current. The morn-
ing OF the fourth day, before day
light had yet come, our craft crashed
into berg which had probably
grounded and our escape from instant de-

TACOMA, WASH, Feb. 15.-The latest
Yokohama steamer brings news that re-
markable freak has appeared even more
curious than the famous Siamese twins
The other day a Kiangsi man visited
Shanghai, bringing with him his two sons,
aged about s years, who are in no wise diff
ferent from their fellows, with the excep-
ton that they are connected by an armlike
piece OF flesh as thick as a mans arm.
They are joined just.below the navel, max
ing the twins stand face to face. The con-
Meeting loop is a perfect piece of flesh, with
blood passages aud veins. When they walk,
they have to move sideways, or shoulders
first.
II seems TO be no difficulty for one TO sit
while the other stands. The twins never
fall asleep at the same time; while one
sleeps the other is sure to be awake, and
they take turns 10 this manner.
The twins have had an audience with all
the authorities at Marking. Crowds coll
lected about them whenever they went
about the streets with their father, and
much interest is conferred in them.

THE LATE JOHN B. NEWTON

HE LATE JOHN B. NEWTON.
 John Brinsmade Newtown, the senior warden of St Johns church, Washing ton, Conn.,, died on Sunday morning, July 30, 1893, in the S2d year of his age. En- dowed with unusual health and strength, he engaged in active labors till the end came, which was very sudden. But he was prepared to obey his Masters sum- mons to ''go up higher," having early sought and found his Saviour. For 50 years the superintendent of the Sunday school, he served his God faithfully and well. For GO years he never failed to be present at an annual parish meeting. During long and full lifetime, he was a devoted attendant, generous giver and firm believer in the principles and faith of his church. As public servant he was found, as steward should be, faithful and just" As husband, fath- CT, friend and neighbor he was ever kind, indulgent and obliging ,and his departure from earthly scenes will be mourned by his many warm friends. The vestry o1 l the church of which he was so long all active and honored member, desire to express their appreciation of him and
 their sense of his loss to the parish and
 the community by the above few words | ". c. Spencer, D. D., rector.

WHAT WE WANT IS CONFIDENCE.

People in panic are frightened at their own contuses the senses, dethrones reason and tor. gets conscienco. Tho blind instinct of self preservation bereft of the control Of the high or faculties, rushes trantically on to it's own destruction and imperils the lives of others, like herd of cattle in a stampede.
 So people cry hard times until they make the times hard by doing the very things which produce the results they fear and dread. When money is scarce everybody holds on to all they have, and so 1t becomes scarcer. Bus mess being dull, every man does as little as he can and makes 1t duller, until necessity en- forces enterprise. When there is Q lack of con idence in the bank, people make rush tor their savings and destroy what little conf. denee there Is, and the bank fails.
 Every word of distrust tends to weaken the bonds of mutual confidence and cooperation which bind the world together in all the in terests of lite Every dollar hoarded with fear and sala shnoss helps to block the wheels of industry and to hinder the car of progress and prosperity. Every petty scheme of econ omy, born Of n lack Of faith, flinders the free flow of the current of life, which is the right use of the things we have.
 Confidence begets confidence and the basis Of all business is mutual trust. The value ot money can be found only in the use of it. Ev cry dollar hoarded means somebody's loss every dollar put Into circulation helps to re store the normal condition of the world of bus mess.
 We must all eat and drink and be clothed and go on with the thousand and one activities Of the world. We are all In the proc ocession and the procession must move on whatever the price of silver.
 Money is very useful but after all we can get along without 1t better than we can without mutual confidence and intelligent self.control.
