ST. PAUL, Aug. 4.-The National German
American bank, of St, Paul, with capital
of S2,CC0.0o0, did not open its doors this
morning Joseph Il. Lookey. president of

public, in which he says: "The prolonged
drain upon the assets, which has been
steady and unceasing for many months
past at u period of the year when orr agri-
cultural and business community are
awaiting the gathering Of the crops. and
increasing just when the financial skies are
apparently Frightening, has forced this
step upon the officers and directors.
This bank has felt steady drain by its
depositors and has lost 81, So, 600 since
j 'uuary, while it has been impossible to
cOrrespondingly reduce its loans at II
period of the year when every one of the
agricultural sections like ours is so largely
relying upon the maturing harvest The
bank has sustained no serious losses of
any nature. and has ample assets to meet
all its liabilities, but when the temper of
its depositors is so unreasonable and unre-
lenting no other course but a temporary
suspension is possible
"No person will fail to see that this one
of our largest and strongest institutions
has thus been needlessly forced into a
situation which all good citizens will re-
greet, solely on account of the groundless
want of confidence that appears to be at
this time national epidemic" On July
IL this bank resources were s., 4sS, 900.

A census bulletin recently received
states the population of Idaho as a..
385 souls-of &C, 900 are native, and
l7,45G are foreign born. The total
colorrd population, including negroes,

These figures are for 1889, the
census having been taken early in
1890, before the annual migration had
set in. At that date the population
of Idaho had increased at the rate of
1877 per cent. during the preceding
decade. Nearly four years having
elapsed since tho census was taken,
and the increase in population having
gone on at an Increased ratio, it is
safe to place the present population
