AN OUTGROWTH OF
DEVL|N FAILURE
The Closing Of the City National
Bank Of Kansas City.
ORDERED BY COMPTROLLER
The Failure II Incidental to That
of G. j. DevIfn, of Topeka, Kas.,
q Large Amount of Whose
Paper Was Held

Kansas City, Mo-, July 21.-The City
national bank has closed its doors. The
bank held paper of C. J.. Devlin, of
Topeka, to the amount of upwards of
500, GOO, and the failure is the direct
result of the closing of the First ma
tional bank Of Topeka, Of which Mr..
Devlin was the principal stakeholder.
Some time ago the comptroller Of
the currency at Washington instructed
the officers Of the City national bank
to repair its capital. This was done by
borrowing. Following the failure OF the
First national bank at Topeka, the
lender became insistent on repayment
of his loan, and this demand caused
the officers of the City national to de-
eide upon closing their institution.
The bank was closed by e. E. Ames,
bank examiner, under instructions from
the comptroller of the currency.
The comptroller had, it is stated, in
formed the officers of the bank that it
must take up $500, 600 bad paper i'm
mediately OF they would not be per-
mitted to open.
Within the past GO days $600,000 has
Eeen withdrawn from the bank.

THE STRIKE is CALLED OFF
The Long-Drawn-Out Chicago Team
sters' Strike is a Thing of
the Past.

Chicago, July 2I.-The teamsters-
strike that has SO greatly disturbed
business conditions in this city for the
last 105 days was, at 1890 o'clock
Friday morning, officially declared off
by the members Of the teamsters' joint
council. The men have been ordered
to seek their old positions, and it is es-
timated that less than one-half of them
will be re-employed.
The strikers have made a complete
surrender, and will apply for work as
individuals and without an agreement
Of any kind with their employers. The
action of the teamsters' joint council
was taken at the end Of a day whose
events clearly foreshadowed the col
LAPSE of the strike. Three Of the IN
ions had already voted to return to
work as far as possible, and it was.
certain that the unions which had not
yet voted on the question of ending the
strike would take similar action. The
council, believing that further effort
was useless, decided to call off the
strike at once.

The judges at a Nevada (Mo.) baby
show last week gave every child a

otherwise.
A Mexican and full-blood Pawnee In

HUSBAND.
Wife Made Wise Change in Food.

Change of diet is the only way to
really cure stomach and bowel trouble.
A woman says:
my husband had dyspepsia when
we were married and had suffered
from it for several years. 1t was al
most impossible to find anything he
could eat without bad results.
Il th~lght this was largely due to
the use of coffee and persuaded him
to discontinue it. He did so, and be-
gan to drink Postum Food Coffee. The
change did him good from the begin
ming, his digestion improved; he suf.
fered much less from his nervousness,
and when he added Grape-Nuts food
to his diet he was soon entirely cured.
my friend, Mrs. -- Of Vicks.
burg Tiny former home), had become a
nervous wreck also from dyspepsia.
Medicines had no effect, neither did
travel help her. On my last visit
home, some months ago, / persuaded
her to use Grape-Nuts food. She was
in despair, and consented. She stuck
to it until it restored her health so
completely that she is now the most
enthusiastic friend of Grape-Nuts that
I ever knew. She eats it with cream
or dry, just as it ome from the pack
age-keeps it in her room and eats it
whenever she feels like it.
Il began eating Grape-Nuts food.
myself, when my baby was two
months old, and don't know what I
should have lone without it. My APP
petite was gone. l was weak and nerv-
Gus and afforded but very little nour-
ishment for the child. The Grape
Nuts food, of which ! soon grew very
fond, speedily set all this right again.
and the baby grew healthful, rosy and
beautiful as a mother could wish. He
is two years old now and eats Grape
Nuts food himself. i wish every tired
young mother knew of the good that
Grape Nuts would do her"

EXCESS OF EXPENDITURES
Government Running at a Loss, Eut
Situation VIII Soon Equal
ize Itself.

Washington, July 22.-For the first
20 days of the present month the treas
ury- deficit has reached an amount in
excess of one-half the whole deficit for
the last fiscal year. The deficit at the
close of business July 20 reached $15,-
35S,235.29. This deficit is shown in the
daily treasury statement under the
item excess of expenditures over re-
ceipts this fiscal year"
Counting cut Sundays and legal hol-
idays, it would appear that the gov
ernment is operating at a loss Of ST.
coo, Coo per day. This, however, does
Lot create the interest, and has moth
ing of the sensationalism in it that
might be supposed. Every year, imme-
diately after July /, there is a rush on
the treasury and a great drain on its
resources. This grows out of the fact
that On the first day of the fiscal year
the appropriations made by the last
congress become available.
The situation will eQualize itself be-
fore the close Of the year.
