MILWAUKEE'S PANIC.

Two Banks Forced to the Wall and Runs
Started All the Rest.
MILWAUKEE, July 22.-The Milwaukee
National Bank failed to open its doors this
morning and the South Side Savings Bank
failed at 1920 o'clock. Judge Noyes, presi.
dent of the Milwaukee National Bank, has
given out the following statements for
publication. This bank I consider
perfectly solvent 1t has $500, 900
assets above Liabilities. In ordinary times
il would pay all depositors in full In three
months. leaving surplus OF 200 cents on
the dollar for distribution among etock-
holders. The reason for closing to-day is
the one that has been so much repeated in
the last six days that the public know 1t
without being told. The shrinkage and
withdrawal of deposits and the inability of
customers to meet their obligations to the
bank led the directors to the conclusion
that il Is for the best interest Of all con-
cerned to close the doors at this time.
Fortunately depositors in this bank
are such shat no one will be seriously
injured by delay in obtaining their money.

Truth VS. lngersoll.

John Shaver Of our city has
written a pamphlet entitled Truth
VS. Igersoll ct al. Mr.. Shaver, for
number of years, was himselfin
doubt about the truthfulness of
christianity, but has become
thoroughly convinced, and has
written a pamphlet which he is
selling at 20 cents. We quote the
following from page 5 of the pam
phlet.
On page 81 of his book, Mr..
Ingersoll says: christianity takes
no step in advance. This is true
but it is no more true than that
water never runs up hill, snd for
the same reason, VIZ. that both
start at the highest point. How
could christianity advance? Every
man who tried TO advance 1t by
his self-will and free thought has
left a stain upon it's fair name. All
the absurd creeds, every false and
foolish doctrine, and all the
crimes and prosecutions done in
the name of christianity have been
libel upon the perfect law of
love as delivered to the world by
Jesus Christ and his apostles. The
motive power that has driven
men away from the true principle
of christianity has been free
thought, just like the thought of
Mr.. Ingersoll. Go back of chris
tianity-go back to the law of
Moses take the ten command
ments, and every man who ever
violated one of these command
ment5 was a free-thinker, and act
ed upon his thoughts just like Mr.
Ingersoll. Suppose it to ha, Q
been possible to have woven
creed around those ten command
ments SO far as to prevent mans
free thoughts from breaking them,
would there have been crime or
sin of any kind? l now assert
that there hs, not been sir COM
mitted upon the earth from the
murder of Abel to the present but
what has been the act of free
thinker putting his free thoughts
into practice.

THE CHAIN Or THE PAST.

When the grey softly fringeth the rehead.
When shadows deepen IN eyes,
When palior dims the colors OF youth.
When unnoted the step growcth slow
Then the things We have known in the rnst
face. a flower, perfume,
a word or the gentle rel rain of q song,
Come back like visions of peace
To soiace the soul
When bewilder.d we find the L resent
Beginning to elude our grasp,
We who fancied the palm OF onr hands could
hold
All the good of the Past, the Present, th e
Future,1
When the taste Of our daily bread grows
bitter,
When the present pu.hcth away our friends--
Atone in the circle of iife-
When we stand thus alone
Sailed out from the stronghold of the Past,
And the strokes of the two edged sword
Burn deei, in the soul
Then from the shadowY gateway
Str etch forth white hands,
| Dear hands, soft hands, firm hands to
strengthen;
And from over the unyielding walls
Bendeth boughs of the tree of the Past
| (The tree planted fast by pure waters
Dropping balm--healing in our wounds
| Gold, oh, my friends! buyeth pleasure,
And uccess flleth flattery's measure,
But he Past, the beautiful Past,
| With its memory flowers immortal.
With its Loves of the Angels

For the poor! And who are The Poor?

The moniei man, proud, the sue cess full
Are poverty stricken, yea, as are all the ch il

With their promise that spans like a,bow
