The Missouri National bank, of Kan
sas City, Mo, closed its doors Monday.
It is understood that the Goodland
City bank had a small balance there and
that G. H. Lee, the loan broker of this
was a depOsitor in the sum of 1880 in
the defunct institution. No other local
interests are thought to be interested.
The sudden closing of the bank in the
face of the "all pervading prosperity"
which is sweeping over the land, calls
attention to the fact that something
besides confidence is needed to insure
stability in the business world.

The Episcopal church has been COM
pleted and is an ornament to the COM
munity in which it is located. As usual
with church building, woman is justly
entitled to the credit of the establish
ment of the edifce. Last at the cross
and first at the tomb of Christ, woman
has ever since did more than man to
sustain and spread the teachings Of
Him of Gallilee. And yet, shameful
though it be, man is in the habit of
claiming all the credit, while letting
the women do the hustling for the
preachers salary and for the money to
pay off the church debt.

A thunder storm as late as the 18th
of November is a very rare occurrence
in this latitude, and yet northwestern
Kansas was treated to such an eXper-
fence last week. The strange part of
phenomena, however, lies in the fact
that few miles away a blizzard was
raging. Wednesday evening last, while
showing here, flashes of light we're
seen in the northeast which is explain
ed by the following dispatch;
OBERLIN, Kan, Nov. 26.-Last night a rain
storm visited this vicinity, accompanied by
heavy thunder and lightning as brilliant as dur
ing any summer shower.
In addition to this diversity, Norton

same time. Wonderful is Kansas

The receivers of the Sherman County
bank will pay a 5 per cent dividend on
Monday. While this is not all that is
expected, the preferred claims will eat
up pretty near everything else. 1t is
seldom any bank pays out dollar for
dollar, and the Sherman county bank
evidently is not of the sort that will.
At the recent term of court Judge
Smith ordered the Exchange bank re-
ceiver to wind up the affairs of the in
stitution and sell the property. It
has never paid a dividend to its deposit
tors, and the proceeds of the sale will
only pay a percentage of the preferred
claims. These two failures are monu-
mental for their completeness.

There is several cases of measles in
town, and there will be more unless
steps are taken to quarantine the pat
tents. A fortnight ago the disease ap-
peared in a south-end family, but no
steps were taken to prevent the con
tagion spreading, even so far as to keep
the other children of the family out Of
school. There could have been but one
result, others caught it. Now every
one, of course, should have had the
measles when they we're young, but
they didn't, and while child will gen.
orally pull through all right, it very
often kills an adult. Even when not
fatal, the measles are no joke and the
