A Columbian Convoy.

The United States cruiser Newark, in
command of Admiral Benham, arrived
at Cadiz, Spain, few days ago, accord
ing to cable dispatch received by the
navy department, and her officers will
set to work Immediately in suparin-
tending the fitting out of the Columbus
caravels Nina and Pinta for their
voyage across the Atlantic to take part
in the naval review in Hampton Roads
in May and to be exhibited later at the
worlds fair. The Newark will act as
convoy to the caravels on their west
ward journey. After the work of
fitting out is completed, she will pro-
ceed to Naples and secure the vatican
manuscripts and Columbus relics; thence
to Marseilles to get the French-Colum-
bus relics and back to Cadiz- The
Newark, with the Nina and Pinta and
Spanish warship acting as convoy to
the caravel Santa Maria, constructed by
the Spanish government, will sail from
Cadiz about the middle of February and
it is expected that they will arrive at
Hampton Roads in time for the big re-
view.
Down in Sussex county, Delaware,
life runs pretty evenly and so does
death. The people change little in
character from generation to genera
ton, and the increase of population
has been slight in half century. The
tale told by the last quarterly mortuary
report for the country is curious and
significant. There were ninety-two
deaths during the quarter, the dead
were equally divided as to sex, and all
were natives of the United States,
while eight were over eighty years of
age. During the same time there wsre
seventy-two births, and here again the
division as to sex was equal.

THE STATE LOSES.
The Bank Failure at Lincoln Dis
astrouS to Nebraska.
Her Treasurer Caught for About
$3.50, o,ooo-The Total Liabilities
Are Estimated at 100000.
A HEAVY LOSS.

| LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 25.-Thes Capital
national bank has passed into the
hands of receiver. Its failure catches
the state treasurer for $3.50, 900, the
county and city for large sums, and
over 100 of the leading business houses,
besides large mum bers of small depos-
itors, who will lose from $500 to 81, 000
Liabilities 100000.
| The immediate cause of the failure
was the fact that the state treasurer
had notified the Capital national that
he should require 500, 900 within the
| next week. Treasurer Bartley arrived
Monday morning and said that mas
much as the governor, secretary of
state and attorney general had ap-
| proved the bond of Mosher &c Outcalt
| for 500, 600 under the law which went
into effect when he took charge OF the
state funds, he and his bondsmen are
released from all liability. The loss,
| qualifying on the board Mosher swore
that he was worth $500, 900 and Outcalt
$500, 1000. The total liabilities of the
| bank are about 5000, ZOO.
The bank has been for some time
hard pressed for ready money, not
being able to call in the loans fast
enough to meet demands. 1t is be-
lieved that there will be no loss to de-
positors in the bank, and it is
altogether likely that its affairs may
be SO arranged that business may be
resumed in the course of two or three
weeks. The directors made no appeal
for aid to the other banks, preferring
to meet the difficulty on their own as
sets, which are believed to be ample to
finally carry them through. President
Mosher is out of the city.
VIII Lose Nothing.
OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 25.-A CONNER
cial agency at this place has given
| notice to Omaha banks that the Capital
| national bank of Lincoln will probably
be able to pay depositors in full. In
order to do this its stockholders will be
obliged to pay from 25 to so per cent.
on the claims of depositors- 1t is
claimed that none of the Omaha banks
/ will lose ANYTHING.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, October 1890
Irecently had the opportunity of testing tho
celebrated Pastor Koenig's Nerve Tonic in
very severe case. A poor widow to whom have
frequently given aid and assistance in my
capacity as City Missionary, sent her u year-od
daughter 10 me one evening to procure neccs-
sary aid; while she was relating her destitution
and stating that her mother was now nearly To-
tally blind the poor child suddenly fell into an
epileptic fit. l gave her two bottles of Your
medicine, and the girl is now well and happy
and the support of her aged mother The Lord
be thanked! I think that such a case as this
rebounds to your honor and to the glory of Him
above, who has given you the nowledge to pre-
pare such blessing for suffering humanity.

1t is not, now, so much question
of securing ready money with which
to move the crops, as it is to secure
the crops for the money to move. The
farmers, all over the country, seem
determined, by fair means or foul, to
force an adequate market value for
their products before offering same
for sale, and while the law abiding
people of the country may deplore the
means which they have adopted for
securing same, yet the great masses OF
the people are the farmers friend
and are in hearty sympathy with him
in the accomplishment of the desired
end. Indeed many good and law
loving citizens go SO far as to say "the
end justifes the means" While we
cannot go thus far, yet our sympathy
and good will is always with the far
mer, when not opposed to law and
good government.

BY reason of Its size, population and
commercial Importance, as well as its
qualifications under the federal postal
avs, Texarkana is undoubtedly en-
titled to system of free mail delivery,
and the necessity for same increases
daily. OF course it is, in one sense,
merely a matter of convenience to the
city's inhabitants, even that, however,
is no unimportant item. Then, too,
the city's position, in the eyes of the
general public, depends very largely
upon its conyeniences, Aside from
this "free delivery" is an indication of
the size, progress and Importance of a
city and adds much to its pretentions
in the eyes of the public at large
Therefore if Texarkana is justly en-
titled to the system, an effort should
be made to obtain it, and that without
unnecessary delay.
