Two Banks and Jobbing Firm Go to
the Wall.

Two Banks and a Jobbing Firm Go to
the Wall.
Sioux CITY, Nov. 20.-The First Ma
tional bank of Sioux City has closed its
doors as result of heavy Withdrawals
since the failure of the Iowa Savings
bank last week. The bank has always
been considered one of the most solid
financial institutions in the northwest.
1t was organized in 1870. E. H. Hub
bard, attorney for the bank, has made
the following statement: "There is
nothing to say further than that the
bank is closed on account of steady with
drawals and the inability to get neces-
sary money. Whether it will reopen
again 1 cannot say. No definite state
ment can be made until the bank ex-
aminer comes. The comptroller of the
currency, Mr.. Eckels, has been notified,
and until the examiner comes we shall
have nothing more to say"
The bank had nearly $400,O0O in de-
posts; loans and discounts, $780,, 900;
capital, 100000. The failure of the
First National caused run on the Sioux
City Savings bank, T. j. Stone being
president Of both institutions. The
officers took advantage of the 60-day
law, but late in the day F. B. Ross was
appointed receiver for the protection of
the stockholders and creditors. No
further trouble is looked for by the
bankers of Sioux City. j. K. Prugh &
Co., china and queensware, made an as
signment as result of the failure of the
First National. Liabilities are given as
$50, 900, with Sal, 900 assets.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-The comp
troller of the currency, ON being mott
fed of the failure of the First National
bank Of Sioux City, Ia, has directed

Hardware Store Robbed and officer s.
Pusey's Bank Entered.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Nov. 24.-P. @. De-
vols hardware store at 504 Broadway
was burglarized at an early hour this
morning and considerable plumber
stolen. The cash register was burst
open and about IS in change taken from
it. All the revolvers out of one of the
show cases were stolen, as well as lot
of razors and miscellaneous assortment
of other goods.
Officer Custer, while passing Officer
& Pusey's bank, noticed that the light,
which is always left burning at night
near the safe, was out. A hasty inves-
tigation showed that one of the windows
on the east side had been broken and
the top sash lowered. 1t seems probable
that the burglars, after gaining admis-
sion to the bank, realized that the job Of
breaking the safe was too big and that
they abandoned it and decided to plum
der the hardware store instead.

some of the nonsense out of them, and
let the objectors see just how nonsen-
sical they look and are
Some women declare, II have all the
rights I want" You have? Have you
the right to merge your individuality
into some other Individual? Have you
a right to suppose the masculine nature
comprehends the needs of the feminine !?
Gould the feminine conceive what would
be the real or just demands of the mas
culine? If you have rights there are
thousands of women who have them not,
and hundreds who dare not say their
soul is their own before their lord and
master. You ought to be ashamed to
deny them the opportunity of having
the same rights you enjoy.
