How "A Wild Cat Banking Scheme was
Worked In Dakota.
WASHINGTON, May 29.-The National
Bank of North Dakota, at Fargo. and
the First National bank at Lakota n. D.,
we're closed today on orders issued by
Mr.. Ecllles, comptroller OF the currency.
Both of these banks were organized by
f. Ashley Mears, who was also organi-
ger of other national banks and of many
state banks and other Institutions His
plans, says the comptroller, appears to
have been to make loans to various in
stitutions subscribing to the stock of
the two national banks in amounts
which in some cases exceed the amount
of stock subscribed to by them. The
management of the Fargo bank was
ostensibly conducted by board of i've
directors. Consisting most of the time
of E. Ashley Mears, Mrs. NJ. B. Mears,
Mrs. d. c. Mears, and Miss L. ID. Mears,
respectively, wife, mother and sister of
the president, and one other director
who was not a member of the Mears
family. This bank owes the treasury of
the United States about Sli 900 for mon
ey expended by the treasurer in redemp-
ton of circulating notes Of the bank
coming into the treasury for redemption,
and which the bank has failed to reim-
burse to the treasurer.
The comptroller says he ordered Ex-
aminers Brush and Diamond to close
these banks because Of repeated viola
tions Of the law on the part of the man
agement ard refusal to pay assess
ments thereby producing condition
rendering them insolvent and danger
GUS as banks OF deposit.

Building inspectors Don't Inspect.

The falling Of buildings in the various
large cities is becoming more and more
a common occurrence. Building is now
reduced to an exact science, and when
ever structure falls, except from tor
nado or an earthquake, it is through
criminal carelessness and nothing else.

The Great Storm.

A storm which swept over New Or.
leans on Sunday night demolished the
Soraparu market and did considerable
damage to other houses and upset luauy
fences and trees. At Pointe-a la Hacl,e
aud neigLborhood, on the lower coast
the storm developed into a rrightful
tornado, several persons were killed
aud the devastation Of property was
enormous.
Later adyices are to the effect that
between 300 and 400 lives were lost in
this frightful catastrophe and that near.
ly all the inhabitants of Bayou Cook
and Grand Isle have perished. The
lower coast is scene of utter desolation
and the New Orleans papers are filled
with beartrendiDg stories of human suf-
fering and despair. On Tuesday the
sent rescue boat to
Grand Isle and a steamer also went to
the relief OF those who may have sur
vived at Bayou Cook.
Still later advices make the disaster
in it's hideousness and i'm
mensity. The Chandelier, st. Malo and
Ship islands and CLeniere Caminada, in
tie gulf, some 130 miles from New Or
leans, are among the places which the
storm swept with greatest fury, and it
is feared that the death list will foot up
two thousand. The Picayune has sent
out steamer for the relief of the sur
vivors, who are ON the verge Of starya-
ton. The disaster is the most appalling
in our annals.

The weather lag been cooler and
much more pleasant this week than
last and harvesting operations went on
until Thursday at noon uninterrnptedly.
A heavy rain fell in the afternoon and
at night. The yield of coru, cotton
and hay is satisfactory, but the rice
will hardly average a half a crop
throughout the parish; while some
fields will yield three fourths
crop, others are not worth cut
ting. Cane is very promising, and the
notes of preparation at the Camp Ham
ilton plantation indicate an early begin
ming of grinding operations there.

In another column will he found a
certificate from Mrs. S. Loeb, testifying
to the prompt payment by the American
Legion Of Honor Of the Insurance on
the life of her late husband, Solomon
Loeb. Mr.. Loeb was insured almost
eleven years, paying 10 assessments
(premiums) less than $500. in such small
amounts as to be scarcely felt, and now
his heirs receive it all back, plus over
$4,000 more! Surely this was wise in-
vestment. Aud we'll may widows and
orphans throughout the land rise up
and call blessed the fraternal and bene-
fcent organizations which like the
American Legion OF Honor offer to men
(aud women, too) of the most moderate
means the opportunity of making such
Investments. Under the very easy and
favorable conditions offered by this no.

who has dependents should be without
insurance another day. Mr.. w. A. Sau-
doz, Secretary of Opelousas Council,
will cIeerfulIy give particulars on ap-
plicat ton.

The game of base ball played here
last Sunday afternoon between the ODe-
lousas and Morrow clubs, for the cham
pionship of the parish, was a spirited
and interesting affair. Both sides did
some good playing, Messrs. Garland,
Skipper, Major and Voorlies, of the
Opelousas team, in particular, distin-
gushing themselves very cleverly. The
laurels won from Morrow on Sept. Sd re-
mained with the Opelousas boys, the
score being % to 1s-but Morrow bad Q
innings while Opelousas had only y; the
latter being ahead, they did not care to
play the 9th. The game was umpired
to the satisfaction of all by MIR. Burleigh

large crowd, among whom were many
people from Washington, Grand Co.

Rice.

| We extract the following from a
circular addressed to the trade through
out the United States by Mess,s. Dan
Talmage's Sons, New York, Sept. 80:
AS ia known, the crop of the present
year is far short of the previous One.s
1t is very generally held that the crop
caDnot. by any possibility, exceed that
of 1891, with probabilities favorin2 an
outcome similar to those Of 1890. The
market has materially advanced since
the opening of the crop and higher
prices assured, it planters continue to
exercise discretion and deliberation in
the disposition Of their product.
The above is gentle intination that
prices for cleaned rice may no up to
those OF 1891 will, probabilities favor
ing those of 1890, i. e. SC to &c per pound.
This is encouraging it would mean
$3.50 to $3.50 per barrel u6e pounds
rough). Apropos of the subject Dan
Talmage's Sons state in private letter:
" Fancy figures ought to be realized
this year but as conservative men, we
give you tip and say, don't wait for
top notch. 'Feste lente' is good
motto. We do not use the ancient
quotation to air our Latin but that we
may impress its meaning-make haste
slowly. This you see, implies action
but at the same time, discretion and
deIiberatiou. Market quietly some of
your product each month this will give
you ready money by which you can be
more independent; again, it will give
supply with which to meet the prevail |
lug demand; but being restricted, will |
keep prices taut. II planters but exer-
else their power wisely, there will be no
falling away from present prices, Oh the |
a steady appreciation of !
values as the amount in hand dimin- |
