been in q tsngle for some days, closed
Its doors this morning. A strong fight
had been made to pull the bank out of
muddy water. strong fnsncial interests
having come to the rescue, but the
effort failed. This morning the Board
OF Directors, some OF the principal de.
poistors and counsel for the bank, met
and discussed the situation. 1t was
agreed that further efforts to pull the
bank through were useless and the
doors were ordered closed.

aminer, was present and took charge of
the banks affairs. The news OF the
banks failure soon spread and crowd,

mutterings regarding alleged misman-
agement By the bank officials.
There were rumors sfoat today that

and the results taken into consldera-

schools, cost OF books, &C., will easily
add another $4,000, making not less
than $40 900 paid out in the city for edu'
catioual purposes. For this sum there
should be rich returns. Some have
undou btedIy profited by the educstions'
advantages afforded them, while Others
who have received little "book learn

tributes which go to make the good

some that viciousness has kept pace

not elevated by education are made un'

A GERMAN missionary in China In
forms q Cologne newspaper that the
Boxer trouble is not ended, but only
repressed temporarily. He asserts that
another and worse outbreak ia ex-
pected by those who understand the
Chinese and are In position to inter
pref the signs of popular unrest. This
missionary's wish Ia, more than prob
able, father to his thought. The mis-
sionaries had more to do with bringing
about the troubles in China than any
one else and the reports that they
pro6ted thereby are generally credited.
Officers In all the armies stationed In
that country say that the missionaries
are at the bottom OF most OF the troubles
they are called upon to settle and
strongly intimate that they do more
harm than good. These people
should remember that they are
sent to foreign countries to teach
Christianity and to preach the gospel
and that unless they set good examples
the cause OF Christianity will suffer TO-
stead of being advanced at their hands.
