AFEDERAL ASS.

Bourbon, Ind, is deeply humiliated.
II is 4 town Of about 1900 inhabitants,
each citizen Of whom must be severely
chagrlned in sizing up the asanine
procliyltIes Of their assistant post
master, one Johnny Snepp. Said
snepp is decidedly overcome by the
Importance OF his job Of stamp licking
and is beside himself In quest Of an
opportunity to spring into greatness
through a manifesto OF some sort.
This same Snepp permitted the
NORTHWEST to lie dead In the Bourbon
Office for eighteen months, not having
enough brains in his triangular head
to know that his duty was to notify
us. We wrote Snepp and suggested
in no uncertain language that ifan ex!
planatlon be not at once forthcoming
we would place his inefficiency before
the department.
His reply shows him not only to be
deplorably ignorant Of his business but
also wanting in common school edu
cation. Fact Is, from his botched up
reply, any one would size him up as
a very crude article, hunk ofanatomy
for whom his friends are kept con-
stantly apologizing for his existence.
His penmanship is 30 dlsgustingly poor
that any Of our nine-year-old lads
would laugh at It in derislon. He
says:

Continues to Get in Its Work in Various
Parts of the Country.
INDIANAPOLIS, July 25.-The Indian
apolis National bank, capital $500, 900,
has closed its doors.
For some days rumors have been
current to the effect that the bank was
in trouble.
For many years the Indianapolis Ma
tional has been regarded as among the
strongest banks in this city. The sus-
pension of the bank is due to the gen.
eral financial stringency.
According to the statement OF the
bank made July is, the loans and dis
counts amounted to S1,645, 1854. IS,
while the cash and securities on hand
aggregated $6S3, 900. The individual
deposits subject to checks were $685.
5000.
The bank was United States de
pository, and had all the fedora
money in it, amounting exactly tt
$500, 900.
The doors of the Bank of Commerce
did not open Tuesday morning. Thii
was not unexpected, as the bank was
owned by the Depauws and the Depauv
estate, and because of the failure Of G
w. Depauw Saturday run was made
on the bank Monday. The bank is the
Oldest in the city and one of the oldes
in the state. 1t has capital stock o
$500, 900 of the Depauw estate. Mrs
Washington G. Depauw, N. T. Depauv

S5,OOO,0O0 and are liable for twice tn
amount of their stock.
Vice President John W. Ray says tn
nervousness about the Depauw. estate
was the cause of the run. Assistance
he said, was promised, but was no
Forthcoming. He said that the suspen
sion was only temporary.

, EVERYBODY speaks well of the
Democratic county ticket nominated
this spring. Even Republicans have
no words against the men nominated,
and many of them no doubt will vote
and work for the Democratic ticket
this fall. Our Republican friends
should forego nominating county
ticket this year, and all vote for the
men on the Democratic ticket, making
their election unanimous. Shall 1t be
done?

An English Interpretation.

LONDON, July rs. = The London
Times publishes an editorial which.
it is thought, expresses the general
English opinion of the Franco-Siamese
dispute. In commenting upon Slams
answer to the French ultimatum, The
Times says:
"Siam's refusal to go beyond just and
reasonable limits, or to concede terri
tory to which France never put in an
effective claim until the other day, is
mo excuse for a measure of hostility,
ostensibly directed against the Siamese,
but really striking at the commerce of
England and other countries having
commercial relations with Siam"

The Secret Of his w ealth.

A millionaire said "the secret of my
wealth" is in the word, SAVE; and
the secret of my heath is in the word,
SAGE. BY this last he meant DR..
Sage, whose Catarrh Remedy cured
him of one of the worst cases of Catarrh,
and thereby saved him from much suf-
fering and premature death, enabling
him to make his millions. and enjoy
life. The cures made by this medicine
are simply wonderful.
