A strong wind is blowing and already
several of the principal buildings are in
flames. The entire department was sum-
moned and assistance has been asked

and additional assistance has been asked
by the town.
3:25 A. m.-The southern building, con-
tanning all the woodwork, is doomed. The

,pa7E BANK pEPOslToRs.

ATLANTIC, Ia, Feb. 12.-J. c. Yetzer,
president of the defunct Cass county bank,
was brought here this afternoon, under
arrest. He was found at Council Bluffs
Yesterday, where he had been living at the
residence OF Dan Carrigg. He was taken
before Justice Straight, waived examina-
ton, and was bound over, to await the
action of the grand jury, in the sum OF
s. OCO. Yetzer said that the report that he
was trying to leave the country was false.
He claimed to have turned over for the
benefit of the creditors of the bank S. 900
worth Of real estate and other property.
He is inclined to think that he Is being
prosecuted, and says that he has had no
active part in the management OF the
bank for seven years, leaving 1t ali to
Cashier Dickerson.
The return of YetZer has only added to
the intense but suppressed excitement
under which the people OF this city aud
most of the Inhabitants of Cass county
have been laboring since the failure OF the
Cass county bank on Dec. q. District
court and the grand jury will be in session
this week. The receiver OF the bank,
Theodore Steinke, is also expected to make
his report of the condition OF the bank.
There have been threats OF summary pun
ishment being administered to the ofhcers
of the ill-fated institution. AS usual In
such cases there has been much talk,
many idle rumors, aud little action. Now
that the real facts will be ascerrained
through the aid of the grand jury much
trepidation is felt by timid people, as they
do not think that any of the bank officials
will then be safe.

INDIA AND SILVER.

CALCUTTA, Feb. 12.-The Indian Currency
association has entered a strong protest.
which has been addressed to the government,
against the disorganization of trade in con-
sequence of changes in the silver policy The
protest says that the present state of affairs
shows that the closure of the mints did not
do any hahn, thought its advantages were
temporary, and were suspended by the alb
normal importations of silver, and through
other causes. The association says that the
government abandoned the minimum price
for council bills at the moment success was
assured. and that this resulted in panic, and
that it is now imperative to restore conf
dence The association recommends the
fixing of a minimum price for council bills,
the prohibition of the importation of silver
for private account, and that the sale of
council bills be entrusted to an agent ap-
pointed by the Indian finance minister.
A few firms dissent from the above recon-
mendations, and advocate the reopening of
the mints
