ENTERPRISE BANK CLOSED.
TWO FAILURES IN OUR NEIGH
BORING CITY.
]. N. Van Norstrand, Leading Mer-
chant, Closed Under Chattel Mort
gage-The Bank Failure Not I'm
expected The Case Funeral.

Special 10 the Reflector.
ENTERPRISE, May 31--The Bank OF
Enterprise was closed last evening by
Bank Commissioner Brcidenthal. The
failure was not unexpected. Indeed
for several months IL had been looked
for by those posted on its condition.
The bank was incorporated in 1888
with capital Of $4,000 of which
100000 was paid in. This was in
creased to $50, 900 in 1889 and $780,
900 in 1892. A large portion Of the
stock is held by New England invest
ors, friends Of the late G. NJ. Case
who has been since 1887 its cashier
and manager. The bank was a heavy
creditor OF the machine shops and
their interests were considerably
identified. With the industrial de-
preston Of last summer the banks
business fell OF and interest pay
ments drew heavily on its resources.
c. Is. Hoffman had been president
until short time ago when he sold
his stock and no successor had been
elected.
There was no presidents; j. NJ.
Van Norstrand is vice president. In
Jan. 1898 it had $lI, 900 deposits with
assets worth at face value S1S5, 600.
When closed yesterday its deposits
were only $4,000. There is other in
debtcdness Of about $4,000 Assets
are abundant nominally but actually
will probably realize but little. The
loss will fall mostly on eastern stock
holders, although the fact that during
its prosperous years the bank paid
large dividends will to some extent
lessen their grief. The heaviest local
loser is DIR. A. &. Eyth who had about
800 in the bank. Chas. Renneckcr,
aljudged insane two weeks ago, had
$3.50 in the bank. A receiver will be
in few days.
j. NJ. Van Norstrand, leading
dealer in general merchandise, was
closed last evening under a chattel
mortgage held by the bank. He had
been in business here two years.
The G. A. X. also attended in a
body. Rev. W. l.. Seabrook made n
most appropriate and earnest al
dress, dwelling upon the dcceased's
love for Masonry and paid tribute
to his strong character. Rev. A. S.
Dechant offered the prayer and the
Enterprise choir furnished the music.
There was a remarkably large crowd
present, many from Mcpherson and
Salina attending.
The physician in charge stated that
Mr.. Cases decease was due to con-
gestion Of the brain, induced by
stomach troubles from which he has
suffered. lie was unconscious for
about 80 hours before his death. He
hal about S25, 900 life insurance of
which $1,000 was in fraternal associ-
atoms.

Hoodwinkinr the Farmers.

One of these days the farmer Popu-
lists Of Kansas will get their eyes
open to the pcriidy and demagoguery
OF the men they have elected to
Office. The Wichita Eagle calls at
tention to fresh instance OF the
Pop congressmen's hoodwinking pro-
clivities; ''PelTer, Simpson, Davis,
Hudson and Baker all reached Wash
ington, fame and five thousand dollars
each, per annum, by bowling over the
wrongs of the farmer, Nobody denies
that. Everybody knows It to be true.
No single one of them was n farmer
himself. We will not say that they
were all industrial parasites, but only
that they got their living by employ
ing their wits to the best advantage.
Last Thursday all the Pop United
States senators. including PETER,
voted against tabling the Wilson
iniquity. This bill repeats the
bounty ON Kansas wool, takes away
the bounty on Kansas sugar, repeats
the reciprocity clause which has open
ed markets for millions of Kansas
wheat and meat for Germany and
other countries. All OF the Kansas
Pop contingent in the house voted
for the Wilson bill, aud Jerry simp-
son helped to defeat the anti-optior
