HERE is comedy always mixed UP
with tragedy. The bank failure of
last week was followed by some ludic-
rous proceedings on the part of de-
positors, which for time relieved the
stress of attention to the serious. The
express office is in the same building
IN which the State Bank was located.
The office has the appearance of a
bank and was often mistaken for if
even before the bank closed. On
Wednesday last an old German lady
rushed into the Office, burst through
the enclosure and fell on the floor as
IT completely overcome by anxiety
and distress. She would listen to
nothing Mr., Delano had to say and in
sisted on having her money. Finally,
when she became cool enough to I'M
derstand the bank was near, she made
a rush for the door, apparently feel
ing that seconds delay would be
dangerous She returned soon after,
evidently feeling that she had been
trtied with and pleaded with the BOYS
IN the express Office that her money
be given her.
Fritz Brandeis of Cato, with one of
his daughters, put in an appearance on
Thursday. Whether Fritz wanted ac
commodation, make deposit or learn
the fate Of his savings no one could
tell from the polyglot tongue he
speaks. Fritz is bent, twisted and
gnarled from rhuematism and has
lost the htheness of movement and
volume Of voice for which he has been
noted. Fritz appeared at the bank
door and kept turning the knob just
as If he was boring a hole with GIN
let. " hen q passerby would say.
Fritz, the bank is busted" he would
turn around slowly utter the one ex-
clamation "huh?' and proceed to bor
ing again. How long he remained at
the door Is not known. but he demon
strated to his own satisfaction that a
bank cannot be resuscitated by per
slstent efforts to make the door WELD.

NV AsHINGToN. d. c., June 9.-Ford's
Opera house, on Tenth street, now
occupied as the government medical
museum, fell in this morning. About
800 government clerks and officials
We're in the building at the time and
great loss of life resulted. 1t was in
this theater that President Lincoln
was assassinated. The first floor
collapsed through weakness caused by
excavating a cellar. In its fall it
carried down the other three floors and
with them hundreds of clerks. The
dead and wounded at 10:15 were being
taken out by the tiremen. All the am
balances III the city were summoned.
Tue wounded We're conveyed to the
hospitals. The scenes were terrible.
Some of the clerks, when they heard
the floors giving way beneath their
feet. jumped from the windows in the
third floor and were either killed or
badly manned.
The walls are still standing, but
every floor is down, while every win
dow was blown out as though shatter
ed by an explosion.
The building had been condemned
as unsafe and unsuitable for the pur,,
pose for which it was occupied and
the historic associations connected
with it saved it from repair or changes.
In the building were kept the records
of the pension division of the war de
partment The floors were heavily
lolded with heavy volumes, some Of
them weighing hundreds of pounds.
All of the clerks employed in the
building were men.
1t is stated that over 400 clerks were
in the building when it collapsed; not
one escaped more or less injury.
Twenty eight persons had been
taken out of the ruins up to 1915.
Toe emergency hospital is crowded
with the dead and injured. Most of
tn ose injured were crushed and main
ed in horrible manner, internal in
juries and broken legs and arms being
the character of most of the wounds.
At l o'clock this afternoon the best
information was that over
forty people had been killed and $50
injured, many of the latter fatally.

The Russian Marshal Suvaroff was
famous as jester, and was fond of
confusing the men under his command
by asking them unexpected and alb
surd questions. But occasionally he
met his match. Thus, one bitter Jan
uary night, such as Russia only can
produce, he rode up to sentry and
demanded:
How many stars are there in the
SKYE"
The soldier, not whit disturbed,
answered, coolly:
"Wait a little and I'll tell you"
And he deliberately commenced count
ing, Zone, two, three" etc.
When he had reached 100, Suvaroff
who was half frozen, thought it high
time to ride off, not however, without
inquiring the name of the ready
reckoner. Next day the latter found
himself promoted.

tlcally onl y one hotel in town is left,

saved. Only one restaurant is left.
Large numbers of people will sleep in

Only two grocery stores are left in

The majority of travelling men sleep
head foremost on a well ballasted
road and feet foremost on a road
where the cars sometims runs on the
track and sometimes on the ties. 1t
Is much pleasanter to sleep headfrst,
as it were, because it prevents the
swell head feeling which results from
toe much blood being forced in the di-
rectlon of the brain But in case of
an accident it is very much pleasanter
to sleep in the other way. Nature did
not provide the human neck with as
many joints as that of a giraffe or os-
trlch, aud when train suddenly
comes to a standstill and the whole
force OF the collision comes on the top
OF the skull, the feeling is unpleasant.
On the other hand the knees h ave q
kindly tendency to give" Oh the oc-
caslon of the collision, and hence if a
man is sleeping feet, first he is less
liable to accident if the train stops
suddenly.
