Nj MERCHANTS NATIONAL BANK,
Assets to BE Sold Two Days After Bryan's
Election.

Election.
Louis G. Phelps, receiver of the Mer-
chants National Bank of Great Falls,
which suspended July "a, 1893, and has
never resumed, Monday filed in the
district court petition for authority to
make final settlement of the affairs of
the bank, and ayers that he has been
directed by the comptroller OF the cur
rency to apply to the court for such au-
thority.
He states that there yet remain in
his hands assets of said bank which can
not be collected or realized on without
great Inconvenience and long delay and
in many cases nothing will ever, in his
Judgment, be realized on some of them,
The said assets above referred to, yet
remaining in his hands, consist of over
drafts of customers of said bank, bills
receivable, notes discounted and colater-
ais held for same, unpaid assessments
on stock and some real estate.
He asks that the court make an order
authorizing and directing sale of all of
said property.
Judge Benton, upon reading the peti-
ton, ordered that the receiver be au-
thorized to advertise for 30 days the
terms and conditions of sale of the prop.
erty described in the petition and, after
eaid advertising, to sell, on a day fixed
by him, all the property and assets de-
scribed in the petition and to make said
sale for cash only.
In accordance with such order Mr..
Phelps Immediately announced that at
10 o'clock in the morning of Thursday,
Nov. s. 1896, at bis Office in the Phelps
block he would offer for sale all the as
sets OF the bank that are in his possess
sion.
The lists of assets is very engthy and
it is apparent that very little, If any,
thing, will be realized on them. On the
overdrafte, which amount to about SILL.
600, probably not more than 10 per cent
will be realized. The greater portion of
the bills receivable consists of worthless
notes, and against these as collateral are
thousands of shares of wildcat" min
ing stock. There are several judgments
and on them perhaps so per cent will be
realized.
The proceeds Of the greater part of
the notes we're evidently used by the
makers and indorsers for political put
poses, There is very little real estate
among the assets and the little that there
is is OF little value.
The assessments of stockholders yet
due amount to about $4,000.
1t is possible that the assets remaining
will pay out 20 per cent, which will make
the total of dividends so per cent, but it
is not probable that dspositors will re-
cover any more.

Fatal Accident at Belt,

Special TO Ths Tribune.
BELT, Oct. 5.-This city was today the
scene of fatal accident that has caused
quite gloom. The victim was Mrs
Lucas, wife Of Henry Lucas of the firm
of Lucas e. Casey, saloon keepers. This
morning the lady attempted to light a
fire, with the aid of coal oil. and an ex-
plosion followed, in which her clothing
ignited, and before assistance reached
her she was enveloped in flames and
seriously burned. Medical aid was sum-
moned and all that was possible done to
relieve her. but without avail, for at
about o'clock this evening she died.
Deceased was about 30 years of age and
left no children. The room in which the
explosion occurred did not catch FIRE.

is yet forced to the conclusion that il by
any mishap Bryan should not secure the
election the victory for Mckinley would
be barren one. While the World is
right in its premise, it makes mistake
in it's conclusions and places Mr..
Bryan in false light. 1t calls
on Mckinley to declare himself
against "the insolent aggressione of the
law -defying, law-peryerting, corrupt
trusts and monopolies" 1t knows that
the Canton man cannot do this; that to
the trusts and monopolies he is indebt-
ed for his nomination, and that they are
contributing millions to secure his cleo.
ton On the other hand. the World
does wrong to Bryan when it says that
he believes that return to bimetallism
will cure the trust evil" Mr.. Bryan
does not think or say eny such
thing. What he does say and
believe is that the laws properly enforced
IAN break up the trusts, and, if they

However, the article is given that all
who read it can interpret it to sui!
themselves. If it means anything, it
means that at the present time the cleo
ion of Bryan is an almost certainty.

SeWall Accents.

BATH, Me-, Oct. 6.-Arthur Sewall,
the democratic candidate for vice presi-
dent of the United States, tonight made
public his letter of acceptance, in the
course of which he says:
"We know we'll the nature of the
struggle in which we are engaged; we
are anxious only that the people of the
land shall understand it, and then our
battle is won. Behind the strong en-
trenchments of the gold standard are
gathered all those favored classes it has
fostered, the only dangerous classes OF
the land. Avarice and unholy greed are
there; every trust and combination is
there. Every monopoly is there, led by
the greatest monopoly of all, the
monopoly of the power of gold. With
us in our assault uphn these entrcnch-
ments are all those unselfsh men who,
not now suffering themselves, cannot
rest content with the conditions so
full of suffering for others, and
that vaster number of our people who
have been sacrificed to the small and
selfish class who now resist their at
tempts to regain their ancient rights and
liberties. These are the patriots of 1896;
the foes of the "dishonest dollar which
enriches 10 per cent of our people to rob
the rest; defenders of the homes of the
land, public morals and public faith,
both of which alike forbid the payment
/ of government obligations in coin, cost
lier to those who have to pay it than
that which the contract calls for; the
defenders OF the honor of the nation,
whose most sacred charge is to care for
the welfare Of all its citizens.
1.-THE free and unlimited coinage OF
silver is the sole remedy with which to
check the wrongs of today, to undo the
ruin Of the past, and for our inspiration
we have the justice of our cause and
those cherished principles of Jefferson
and Jackson which shall be our guide
on our return to power: Equal and ex-
act iustice to all men; absolute acqui.
escence in the decisions Of the majority,
a vital principle OF the republic; the
honest payment OF our debts and the
sacred preservation Of the public faith ~
