Oman, Neb., Aug. 1.-Considerable
excitement prevails among the farm
ers of Butte county over communi-
cation received from the First Nation
al Bank of Alliance. The letter says:
Owing to the constant agitation of
the financial policy of the United
States and the socialistic feeling en-
mating from the Chicago convention
there has been a doubt thrown over
the minds of the people, and such
points to the possibility of a greater
panic than we have yet seen. Should
the laboring men of the country be
thrown out of employment NOW only
half employed, there will be great la
Dor trouble such as will call on our
military and cause much distrust as
to the future outcome. We prefer to
do nothing until there is more stability
rather than take chances of loosing
what we have, and would advise all
our friends to stay out of debt. We
will call in our paper this fall. We
have your note due. Please
be prepared to meet it promptly and
do not ask for further time.
