TWO FRI EsH FAILURES.
The Omaha Savings Bamk Forced to Close
Its Doors.


Its Doors.
OMAHA, NEBR., Jan. 2.-The Omaha
Savings Bank, the Oldest savings bank
in the city and the principal of the two
savings banks left in Omaha, closed this
morning
Ex-senator Mandersop, president OF the
bank, has made the following statement
concerning the affairs of the institution:
''In the fall of 1893 we had about 81. 900 600
in deposits, which grew until January,
1896, when there were $1,360, 900 in de-
poslts.
''On July 8 the German Savings Bank
closed it's doors and a steady and constant
drain was made upon our bank so our de-
posits have shrunk to $3.50 6G0, showing
that we have paid out about 100000 in
little over five months. The bank owes to
depositors $3.50, 600 and to hanks $4,000,
making the total Liabilities $500, 900. Taking
the real estate at cost and our real estate
and other securities at face value, we have
nearly $200,0 600 of assets beyond our liabili-
ties. While the bank is unable at this
time to pay its depositors on demand it is
amply solvent. and while it will take
some time to realize on the assets not a
dollar will be lost to any creditor or de-
positor in the bank. In addition to the
81, 100000 of assets with which to pay de-
positorss there is also the double liability
on the stock holders. which will swell the
amount to at least 81, 200, 0o0." ss's
General Anderson also said that an
effort would be made by the directors to
give suitable bond to the State Banking
Board for the protection of depositors
which would enable them to put in their
own receiver. This could be done more
economically than by an outsider ap-
pointed by the board
WHITEHALL, MICH, Jan. Bank
Examiner ANGEL this morning closed the
Whitehall Savings Bank. Much excite
ment prevails. The last report shows
$4,000 in deposits, $4,000 on hand and
loans and discounts $92, ,000 The officials
have made no statement.

RouEiaO House.

HoLLIDAYsBURG, Pa, Jan. 2.-Tbe
recent failure of the banking. house of
Gardner, Morrow & Co. of Holiday sburg
will result in many sensational suits in
court. To-day it was made public that
the strongbox or casket containing the
securities and title papers of the estate. of
the late Judge James Gardner. the senior
partner In the bank. had been lmpounded
in the Blair County Court TO help pay the

ney Hammond and the many depositors.

Fourteen Hunters Arrested WhiLc Shoot

FRESNO, CAL, Jan. 2.-Manager W.. ].
Pickett of the Laguna de Tache grant, in
the southwestern portion of the county,
Is having an interesting time with
hunters in his efforts TO keep them off
the extensive domain in his charge. He
had fourteen of them arrested recently.
They hailed from Leemore, Hanford and
the surrounding country. The trials of
three have already been held, but in each
case the defendant was acquitted by a
jury. The trials of the others have not
yet taken place.
The course of the manager was prompted
by necessity, for the hunters trespass!ng
was becoming serious. Some OF them
have been very careless, and many cattle
have had their hides filled with shot.
Some were seriously wounded. The
arrested hunters have employed Judge
Irwin OF Hanford to defend them.

CLEVELAND IN THE SENA TIE.

If Grover Cleveland should de-
eide to enter the roll for United
States Senator from New Jersey
and should be elected, the Nation
would pity the Nutmeg State. 1t
would be an awful affection upon
the people of that Commonwealth,
but it would be just retribution
sent on that overgrown egotist. In
a body of statesmen, men OF cour-
age and ability, where each Will
be on an equality, we think he Will
find himself in far warmer quarters
than when he, as President, had
the vantage ground, and exercised
| his powers to co-erce men into
doing his bidding by loyalty to
party. But the positions changed.
each having an equal showing,
we think the world would soor
learn that Grover Clevelend is no
a great man.
But he has too much sense tt
stand, aye he has.

and brothers as well as to parents

suffering but mellowed in
hallowed humility, the nature al

in which they are issued. Ii they
look healthy and prosperous, the
reader will very naturally conclude
that the city where it is published
is prosperous. On the other hand
a newspaper that does not contain
a liberal proportion Of the business
cards or its citizens, cannot be ex-
pected to carry abroad an impress
sion of prosperity and progress

ance belies-however much 1T may

These thoughts were inspired by
a comparison Of the Shreveport

newspaper of North Louisiana,
with its issue of Sunday, October
"a, 1897.
The business conditions are all

midst of one OF the greatest yellow
fever epidemics known, presents
spirit of enterprise sorely lacking

A girl in a home can WELD q won
derful influence, says an exchange.
| cannot conceive of more beautiful
sight than the affection OF sisterfo
a brother. A sisters love is one of
the sweetest flowers planted by God
in the heart of girl. 1t is born OF
filial sympathy and confidence, and
ripens INTO spiritual love, different
from any other affection. Powerful
as is the influence of a mother, there
have been innumerable cases where
the presence of a sisters sweet and
tender love, or the memory of d sis
ter's aiiection has been the saving
grace OF brothers life. The sister S
life in the home often formulates the
brothers estimate OF her sex. A sis
ter can haye a softening influence
upon her brother where everything
else fails. She raises his opinion OF
women by her actions toward him.

The late populist Legislature and
the present administration is being
defended at last by a reform press

The political sea OF South Dakota
is still rolling huge pillows, and
many remarkable statements are be-
ing made by our populist brethren
and their newspapers. What the
wild waves are saying would require
columns to reproduce, hence it is i'm
possible, notwithstanding the fact
that it would be interesting reading
to many persons. The legislature of
1897 and the distribution OF patron
age has torn that party asunder.
TO one member who appears to be
satisfied with the result, ten can be
found who are outspoken in their ex-
pressions of disgust and displeasure.
Few, if any, Of the party pledges
have been fulfilled, and leaders high
UP in party counsels haye expressed
n doubt whether populism ever could
be successfully carried out. Their
party newspapers and officials are
now, and have been for weeks, en-
gagged in ordinations and recrimin-
ations against themselves, calling
each other traitors, ETC. These cyl
dences can be found upon every hand.
There is no need for republicans to
exaggerate or misrepresent, and the
Press shall not do so. The populist
party is killing itself by factionaI
strife, by demonstrating to the peo
pie that it can not control itself. In.
deed it is strongly suspected that
this is the purpose OF certain leaders,
who cannot bear populism, and who
wish to disorganize it and build a
new party. What the outcome OF all
this dissention will be no one can
predict. We doubt, however, if the
sincere and honest rank and file oi
the populist party can much longer
be pulled hither and yon by leaders
whose whole conception of politics
and government is the pie-counter.
