Is Where Mears gets it This Time.
The National Bank of North Dakota
at Fargo, and the First National
Bank of Lakota were both taken
possession Of by the national bank
examiner, on May 29th. These were
both controlled by II. Ashley Mears,
whose name is a hqqsehold word in
this state and whose business methods
are too well known to ned any dcs-
.cription. Fortunately, there were no
local parties interested in these banks,
almost all their. stock and securities
being held by eastern parties. The
probabilities are that number of
foreclosures of real estate will result,
as the eastern holders of mortgages
will wish to secure themselves. Mears
himself will probably lose not one
cent by the closing Of these banks his
interests being mainly in other insti,
.tutions. We clip the following from
the Fargo Argus:
The National bank Of North Dakota
At. Fargo, and the First National bank
at Lakota, N. D. we're closed today on
orders issued by Mr.. Eckels, compt
roller Of the currency. Both Of these
banks were organized By +. Ashley
Mears, who was also organizer o.
other national banks and Of many
state banks and other institutions.
His plan, says the, comptroller, ap.
pears to have been to make loans to
the various institutions, subscribing
to,the stock Of the two national banks
il amounts which in some cases ex-
ceeaed the mountof stock subscribed
to by them. The management ct the

by Z board of Eve directors, consisting

Office Of Board. Of Railroad Com

1898;
So many applications having been
received by this Office for forms to be
used in petitioning for platform ac-
commodations for loading grain and
other products into cars, at stations

printed such blank petitions, and will
be pleased to forward copies of the
same to any person desiring them.
As the annual inspection of the
railway lines Of this state will be COM
menced on June 27, and continue dur
ing July, it is the desire of the Rail-
road Commissioners that all such
petitions, or as many as may be, shall
be filed with them before or during
that inspection, SO that each case
may be acted upon intelligently after
personal inspection.
The blank petitions can be had by

dark and mysterious object lessons the
Republicans have in contemplation

1t was learned yesterday, however,
that some of the members OF the coun-
cilhave settled upon George L. Arnold.
the Machiavel OF local Republican
statesmen, as their choice for the va
cancy.
There is great pulling and hauling
over the attitude which the prospective
commissioner will have toward the re-
tention of Chief Glass as the head of the
department. and it is supposed George
Arnold is pat upon the proposition OF
holding the big chief just where he is.
There are some Republicans who are
not at all backwards about criticieing
the manner in which the chief allowed
eight of his men to be summarily dis
missed from the force, among them
some of his best men, without rising to
the dignity OF a protest sgaint it; and
this, it is said, has something to do with
the way some councilmen look at the
question.
In the meantime the Democratic MEM
bers of the council are looking on with
considerable amusement at the anxiety
of their Republican confreres, and are
taking very little part in the contest.
Quite lively time is anticipated when

POLICE CoMMIssIoNERSHIP.

The Council Expected to Fill the Va
cancy Today.
The question of the appointment of q
police commissioner by the city council
to ELL the vacancy in the board comes
up today.
During the latter days of last week
the probable action of the council was
discussed, but not very generally.
The members of the council who were
approached by reporters profesed ignor-
ance upon the subject, and were even
loath to mention the citizens who were
being considered for the vacancy.
An air of mystery was given to the
situation by this coyness on the part OF
the city's statesmen. which they showed
little disposition to clear up.
Under the law the political status oi
the commission is fixed. The vacancy
is to be filled by Republican. What

SANTA MONICA, Dec. 3.-Miss Laura
Perkins, the recently missing Burbank
girl, whose appearance at Santa Monica
on Monday evening in tattered, hun
CRY and cold condition, after So mile
walk, caused considerable excitement in
the beautiful seaside resort, was luckily
directed to Mrs. O. A. freeman, kind
hearted, motherly lady, who saw that
she was clothed properly and fed and
then secured for q good place, where
she will have q home, as we'll as getting
the just reward for her labor.
Marchant, who swore to the warrant
against her on the ground of unsound
mind, came down on Saturday on the
train. and after finding that she was
comfortably located left for Los Angeles.
Miss Perkins is undoubtedly of sound
mind, well-appearing young lady of 20
years, brunette, and conducts herself in
a ladylike manner. She mas evidently
seen the hard eide of life, and from rela-
tives at that.
Laura Perkins, w hen found by HER
AID reporter at the cozy home of Mr.. j.
G. Kneasel, in Santa Monica, appeared
to be not only in her right mind. but
was cheerful and apparently as happy
as could be expected of any young
woman. She said che left the home of
her aunt, Mrs. Richardson, because she
WAS entirely dissatisfied with her cir
cumstances there when she was treated
like servant, getting in return only her
living.
The only reason she gave for leaving
home on the sudden impulse was be-
cause her aunt spoke to her hastily.

she would 90 to, but kept on walking
until she reached Santa Monica. stating
