LINCOLN, Neb., JAN 27.-The Capital
National bank failure has taken a still
more sensational turn. In inspecting
the books Examiner Griffith discovered
a number of discrepancies, especially
as regards the certificate es of deposit of
state money. so serious in their nature
that he went before the United States
grand jury now in session here and
laid the facts before them. President
Mosher was brought before the jury
and made voluntary statement He
acknowledged that he was responsible
for the whole trouble and was ready 10
bear the blame for it all. 1t is said
that lie broke down and cried like a
child making a clean breast of his con-
uection with the bank: that it had not
been making money for some time, but
dividends had been paid in order to
avoid any investigation. The grand
Jury examined number of witnesses,
among them the cashier of the bank,
r. C. Outcolt, and returned number
of indictments 1t is not positively
known but generally credited that three
of them are against Mosher. He is
locked up in room at the Lincoln
hotel.

IN TRUE BORDER STYLE.
Bandits Rob a Bank and Commit
Murder Mt Wayerly, Kan
Caught After Long
Fight.

Waverly, Kan, Jan.-Two masked
and heavily armed men this after
noon robbed Mrs. Jennie Fishers
bank, shot and killed A. P. Ingle-
man, farmer, and escaped only to
be captured q few hours later after
long running fight. The raj was
as daring as any in the long list the
border furnishes. The men rode in,
to town on horse back about three
o'clock and hitched their horses to a
corn crib just west of the bank.
They then put on masks, and Win
chesters in hand, boldly entered
the bank and ordered Cashier Duvall
and Assistant Cashier Converse to
throw up their hands. They com
piled with alacrity. One of the rob
bers kept the two men covered with
his Winchester while the other
coolly went to the front of the bank
and pulled down the curtains so that
any chance passer by could not see
what was gong on within. Return
ing form this task both of the rob-
bers proceeded to go through the
drawers in the front counter. They
found only 5000. Most of the
money was in the safe at the time,as
there were only two officials in the
bank at the time and no press of
business. just then I. O'Neil, a
merchant entered to make deposit.
Cashier Duvall called to him to run.
The robber who was guarding Du-
vail and Converse turned and fled.
As the robbers left the bank A.
P. Inglemen, a farmer who happen
ed to be passing by, took in the sit
| uation and started in pursuit down
the alley, firing on them as he ran
They turned ON him and fired two
f shots. Both took effect, one passing
through his head aud the other
through the right breast Inglemar
t dropped dead in his tracks. The
' robbers then mounted their horse
: and passed out of the alley into &

| whose sole consideration to notoriety
| is a heavy bank account.
Although not a worshiper of Eugene
Field, think that his name will live
for many years as that of the first
western writer who recognized the i'm
portance of delineating western char
/ acter with perfect truthfulness. His
short stories are marvels of perfection,
perfumed with the fragrance of the
prairies. He ignores the mushroom
society" of western cities, the fin de
steele upstarts and plutocrats who
firmly believe that money will buy
anything, from wife up to culture;
and introduces to the world the men
and women who have developed the
west, whose honesty is not mere policy,
whose faults are redeemed by their
virtues.
Stanley Waterloo, too, has done
much to make western literature re-
spectacle. In "a Man and a Woman"
he presents some charming pictures.
He has gathered together, with infinite
patience and consummate skill. the va
rious links which constitute the grand
chain of the material development
of Michigan and other northwestern
states, and surrounded them with a
literary fligree SO delicate that one is
almost panied TO follow his hero into
the mire of darkest Chicago and mu-
nicipal politics. Taken as a whole "a
Man and a Woman" Is the strongest
western story yet published, and one
that is even more readable than the
same authors exquisite "Odd Situa-
ton"
Opie Read, whose fame must always
rest upon the delineation of south
western character, has a natural apti-
tude for storytelling. His Kentucky
Colonel and Emmett Bonlore" are
types of southern manhood. They are
crude, like the country they inhabit,
but they are sound to the core-faith-
.Il representatives, OF moribund south
ern chivalry and incipient southern
progress. They win be Of tremendous
value 10 the student of the next century
and the historian of the future. Reads
southern stories win live, not because
they are finished literary products, bu;
because they reflect real life. The
writer may be pardoned for remarl1ing
Ia this connection that Mr.. Reads
latest work, "The Colossus, " a Chicago
story, although full of bright ideas
and. from a literary point of view, SUI
plrior to his other works, is too con-
vantioual and narrow TO add TO the
clever authors fame. The great south
west is Mr. Reads peculiar field In
it he has already found enough ma
tcrial to make himself famous For
the sake of the reading world it is to

FATHER NARDIELLo, of Bloomfield,
N. j., in a sermon preached last
Sunday advised wives who received
brutal treatment at the hands of a
drunken husband to retaliate. If the
latter construed their marriage
vows to give them a right to beat
their wives, the wives, he said, had
an equal right to beat their husbands.
The priest further told the women not
to be afraid of drunken brutes, as in
nearly every case they would be found
to be great towards. Father Nardiello
In this matter preached sound doctrine.
Any husband, whether drunk or sober,
who beats his wife thereby merits
such retaliation on the part of the
latter as it is within her power to in
fiict. Many wife -beaters would be
cured if at their first attempt to
chastise the wife the latter carried the
war into Africa instead of weakly sub
mitting to the outrage. John L. Sulli-
van'sfrst wife cured him of the practice
by waiting till he was helplessly
drunk and then giving him a sound
beating, the first he had ever received,
and the example then set is worthy
Of imitation by other injured wives

WESTERN LITERATURE.
0t~nwth Of tho Literary Movement
in Chicago.
An Analysis or the Causes which Have
Hitherto Retarded Devciopment-The
Glass OF Works which Is Max
ing the West Great.
lsnecIal chIeago Lettorl


Ono need not be a cynic to snarl at
many of the articles published during
tho past year on Literature i'm the
Vest and Literary Chicago" As a
western man who takes pride in the
literary developments of the progressive
section which has been his childhood's
and manhood's home the writer cannot
but regret the publication and circula-
tion of so-callcd essays and criticisms
which eNtol one set ofwriters at the ex
pcuse Of another
Not being a literary" man myself
in the sense of being a producer Of
fiction, poetry or history have for
.evcral years watched, with consider
able interest the peculiar antics of
the two principal factions of writer's
who make Chicago their "ccntcr" "
Caudor compels me to admit that while
! enjoyed the bloodless strife waged
by the elect whose distinguishing
mark is swallow-tail coats and decollete
dresses, have at times been brought
10 the VERGE OF despair by the petty
jealousy exhibited by the sack coat
fraternity towards members Of its own
class. As long as this state of affairs
continues, Chicago and the west will
not occupy the place in the intellectual
world to which the real merits Of
many of their authors enutle them.
Not until individual work isrecognized
by all members of the literary profess
sion, irrespective Of the wearing ap-
parel or previous condition Of it's pro-
ducer, can the west expect to com
mand respect in other sections of the
country.
Professional authors are few in the
region west Of Chicago. A score or
more of clever dilettanti have made
strenuous, but in most instances futile,
efforts to depict western life. Instead
Of drawing pictures Of western prairie,
river and town life, they attempted to
portray the doings of society which,
to be charitable, is too crude to impress
the average reader with respect for
either the west or the originators of
clumsy characters who usually do the
wrong thing at the wrong time and

must not be forgotten that the ele-
ments which make a city truly literary
are rapidly concentrating in the west
ern metropolis. The increase In the
consumption of books in the region
lying west of the Alleghanies has been
so phenomenal that eastern book
makers will soon be compelled to pro-
tect their interests by establishing
branch houses in Chicago for the pub
hcation Of works appealing TO the In
telligent masses. Illiteracy is vice
almost unknown in the prairie states
of the Mississippi and Missouri valleys,
and new armies of readers are con-
stanty growing up eager to patronize
and encourage the writer's and publish
ers of good books
To centralize western thought q
magazine is needed and viewing this
proposition from business point of
view / am inclined to think that the
cation in Chicago would prove prof
table. Even now we have enough
good writers to fill the pages of first
class magazine and the recent black
and white exhibition at the Chicago
Atheneum demonstrated that we also
have the artists TO illustrate the arti-
cles A magazine edited on the broad
principle that a good thing deserves
circulation, even though its author
be a poor man, and an unknown one,
would give a tremendous impetus to
western literature and foster fellow
ship among writer's which is sadly want
ing in existing conditions.
A revolution of this kind might of
course, be a serious handicap to the
