Failure OF a Missouri Bank Because of
Short Funds.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 30-The
Missouri National Bank, one of the larg-
est banks in this city, closed its doors to-
day and is in charge of H. A. Foreman,
National Examiner. the failure was due
to the money on hand running below the
reserve required under the banking laws
and the papers among the assets being
given a lower value by Examiner Fore
man than by the bank officials. The fl
GERS OF the institution say they VIII pay
de positors in full.
The failure created great surprise, as
the bank was generally understood to be
in sound condition. The last statement,
made October 6, showed resources of
$1S75, 537 "a. The capitals $250,000. Ex-
aminer Foreman says the condition of the
bank is practically the same to-day as on
October 6. The only difference is in the
value OF some of its assets. No trouble is
anticipated at any of the other Kansas
City banks.

State of Iowa has deficit of 100000 in
sight. By the end of the present biennial
period it is liable to reach nearer to 81, 000,-

Members of the Legislature have re-
Gently held conferences with State officers,
and the result is that an earnest effort will
be made at the special session in January
to bring the revenue laws before the Legis-
lature for general revision. The present
system is so inequitable and some coun-
ties pay twice as much tax per acre on
land as others, although the market value
Is the same. Personal property almost
entirely escapes taxation. State institu-
tons are seriously embarrassed and the
situation is getting worse constantly.

So There Is Mystery Surrounding the
Burning of Perkins Store.


Turning of Perkins Store.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Nov 30.-Early
this morning a fruitstore belonging to
Charles Perkins was discovered to be on
fire. The fremen found Perkins inside
the place with five wounds in his head
and in an unconscious condition. The
shop was totally destroyed. Perkins re-
gained consciousness during the day and
said that two men entered his shop while
he was asleep and one of them shot him
with buckshot and then robbed him. No
shot was heard by the neighbors and the
money had not been touched in the CASH
drawer. The physicians have found no
bullets or buckshot in Perkins head. Tho
case is surrounded in mystery, and many
people believe that Roman candle. or
one of the skyrockets, many of which
were in the shop, must have gone off,
hitting Perkins in the head ana setting
the place on fire.
