the case, and Cox and Baker were
appointed by the court to defend
Cross. After few minutes spent
in consultation, they entered plead

This was done on account of the
youth of the defendant. The affair
created quite little stir in court.

BANK CLOSES DOORS
Big Pittsburg Concern has
Asked for Receiver.
Officers of the Bank say They eau pay
two Dollars for One-0ther Banks
Refuse to aid Institution when it
was Subjected to run.

The directors OF the Federal Nation
al bank, of Pittsburg, after being 10
session nearly all day on Tuesday,
found that they could not Withstand
the demands on the bank, and decieed
to ask for aid from other local banks
and bankers. This, in almost every
instance, it was said last night, was
refused. The clearing house commit
tee was In session several times yester-
day, and it was decided that no assis-
lance could be given the Federal Ma
tional.
At last midnight the Federal Ma
tional directors discovered that after
thorough canvass Of the local banks
and bankers they would be unable TO
get any assistance, and upon reliable
authority it was stated that resolu-
tion was then passed to ask the comp
troller OF the currency to appoint a
receiver for the bank. 1t was expected
that this morning message will be
sent to the comptroller to this effect.
Yesterday between $500, 600 and
5000, 900, it was stated, was drawn
from the institution by depositors,
and banks in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
West Virginia and elsewhere. The
deposits yesterday were small.
Most of the money withdrawn yes
terday was by banks for which the
Federal National was acting as reserve
agent. An ppesl was made to the
clearing house committee for assist
anee, and before noon the committee
was in session. The decision that no
help could be given the bank was not
reached by the committee until late
last evening The Federal National
bank is said TO have secured some aid
from the First National bank of Al
legheny yesterday, and the latter in
stitution took care OF $4,000 worth
of clearings for the Federal bank.
Officers of Morgantown banks say
that the failure will have no effect
whatever in local circles None OF
the Morgantown banks had any bush
ness with the concern except the Fed
eral Trust cmpany. The Pittsburg
people do not owe anything to this
concern but the Federal people owe a
small over draft to Pittsburg 1t is
also stated that information has been
received from Pittsburg to the effect
that the closed bank will be able to
pay two dollars for one when they
realize their holdings,
Further news was received this
afternoon from two of the most con-
sentative banking institutions in the
city say that there is no more trouble
anticipated. The clearing house has
agreed to protect all banks in the city.
A ticker dispatch received at three
O'Clock this afternoon says that the
First National Bank of Allegheny has
failed. This is unconfirmed.

DAD HELPS A LITTLE.

We happened into pleasant home
! the other day, says the editor of the
Stevens County Reveille, and over
the door saw the legend worked in
letters of red. "What is home with.
out a mother" Across the room
was another, "God bless our home"
Now what's the matter with "God
bless our dad" He gets up early
every morning to begin his day of
toll. Heights the fire, boils an egg,
grabs his dinner pail and wipes off
the dew of the dawn with his boots
while many mother Is sleeping.
He makes the weekly hand out for
the butcher, grocer, milkman and
baker, and his little pile is badly
worn before he has been home an
hour. He stands off the bailiff and
keeps the rent paid up.
If there is a noise during the night
dad is kicked In the back and made
to go down stairs to find the burglar
and kill him. Mother darns the
socks, but dad bought the socks in
the first place and the needles and
the yarn afterward. Mother butts
up the fruit; we'll, dad bought it
with the money he toiled hard for;
and the jars and sugar cost like the
mischief. Dad buys chickens for
the Sunday dinner, and carves them
himself and draws the neck from
the plate after every one else is
served. What is home without a
father" Ten chances to one it is a
boarding house, father is under a
slab and the landlady is the widow.

faults-you may have lots of EN-
but you're all right, and we will
miss you when you're gone.

fall.
