The farmers of Cando, Towner

build road from Cando to Leeds to
connect with the Northern Pacific
at the latter place. They offer to
furnish the right Of way and grade
free of charge. They will probably
get the road.

An indianapolis Bank Fsils.

Indianapolis. June 1.-THE Bank of Com
merce this afternoon suspended business
as result of meeting of the board OF
directors last night. No more deposits
will be received.
William POISSON. the cashier, said this
evening: we have simply suspended for
the present. We have deposited Suiiic-
lent amount of money with the Indiana
National bank to pay all of our deposit
tors, and no one will lose a cent The
reason we suspended is because OF lftlga-
ton that is now pending. and we did not
want to do anything that would In any
way ealdangesr our depositors.
Only a year ago the bank closed It's
doors for a short time, and the knights
and Ladies of Honor secured Judgment
against il for the sum named, and few
days ago the supreme court issued an ex-
ecution against the bank. The officers OF
the bank today turned over for execution
its building and some other property.
which Cashier Bosom says will be sufti-
cient to pay the judgment. The bank IS a
state concern. with a capital stock of
5000 1000. It's liquidation has been expected
for several months. and this fact makes
its suspension un'mportant. in the opinion
OF the other bankers OF the cfty Inc
principal stockholders are the Depauws.

making a personal inspection he could not
say what should be the exact locality OF
the necessary defenseS. Troops should be
where they can best get ar the enemy and
be properly supplied and cared for. on
account OF it's short front, the Sound

Speaking of the notice of the Lighthouse
hotel an old SteiIacoom landmark recently
reported TO have burned down. in which ii
was said that Generals Grant. Mcclellan
and Sherman had lived. the general said
that he had not known hotel of that
name, and that if Grant had ever put up
there il must have been before 1853. About
that year Mcclellan was over this way
looking for pass for a railway through
the Cascades. II Is also possible that Sher-
man saw the Sound while he was con-
nected with the work of surveying the In
dian reservations. The hotel may be like
