The conclusion arrived at was that the

yielded twice the mileage when the
ears were turned nj each end of tho

Peoria Banks Ready to Meet Demand.


PEORIA, Ill July l9.-On account OF
the failure of the small private bank
of Oberhauser & Co., Saturday there
have been fears of run upon the other
savings banks, and every preparation
was made to meet the demand, Ar
rangement was made with the
other banks to secure all the
money needed, and great piles
of coin and bills are piled up
in plain sight. A storm which came
up, however, just at the opening of
banking houses helped to prevent any
crowds assembling, and while there
was a numb Der of Withdrawals by small
depositors there was nothing APP
preaching the nature of run. A
number of prominent Germans have
arranged to pay every cent owed by
the OberhauSer bank.
