BEATRICE BANK FAILURE.

Beatrice. Neb., Sept. 1.-The First
National bank of this city was forced
20 close its doors this afternoon. The
failure vas a complete surprise to the
general public, although 1T appears sew
eral heavy Withdrawals were made in
he last few days. The cause OF the
failure is attributed to the continuous
crop failures of the last four years,
coupled with steady Withdrawals OF de-
poslts by customers to meet current OBJ
legations. and the banks inability to
secure assistance in the east, which Ia
charged to the present financial con-
d.tions there. The liabilities OF the
bank to depositors had been reduced
10 about $110. 900, while the assets are
in excess of a quarter of a million of
dollars. Following the failure. the Off
cials made voluntary conveyances to
the bank of all their real estate, includ-
ing their handsome residences. The
failure carries with 1T the Beatrice Saw
ings bank with deposits of about $780,
900.

This afternoon several hundred people

was enthusiastic and the delegation ap-
plauded nearly every sentence Major
Mckinley spoke. The presentation of
the Republican Press association was
by w. P. Morris and he said:

was such a n as to make you
dear to West Virginia people and
causes West Virginia republicans with
other reason to believe you are the

find. 1t is because West Virginia has
beneath her rugged surface enough
coal for the world. iron ore in vast
quantities; has great forests and sheep
and cattle upon a Thousand hills, has
fertile valleys and rich hillsides. With
out protection our vast natural wealth
Is chained and helpless"
Major Mckinley was greeted with
the greatest OF enthusiasm. He said:
