BANK FAILS.
Institution in Kansas City Goes into
Voluntary Liquidation-The
Cause.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 26.-The
Kansas City state bank, Wiley o. Cox,
president, failed to open it's DORIS
Monday, having gone into voluntary
liquidation. The bank had loaned
$16S,GOO to the bank of Salmon & Sal
mon at Clinton. Mo-. which failed las.
July. catching depositors for several
hundred thousand dollars. The Kansas
City state bank was organized in 1888
and had capital OF 100000. The last
statement showed loans of $4,OOO.OoO:
deposits. $4.75oooO; surplus, SRI 900.
Ever since the failure of the Salmon &
Salmon bank at Clinton, Mo-, the
banks business has been on decline.
Many large depositors withdrew their
accounts because of the fact that the
bank had advanced the Salmons more
than 100000 on collateral that is now
said by bankers to be gilt-edged. At
that time the value of the collateral
was problematical and timid deposit
crs fastened to close their accounts.
This caused heavy drain on the re-
sources of the bank. and in order to
avert trouble, the officers of the insti-
tuition decided upon liquidation as the
easiest way out of perplexing finln-
cial tangle. The Kansas City state
bank holds $5G7.O0O Of the city's mon
cy. Wiley o. Cox, president of the
Kansas City state bank, is one of the
eldest and best-known men in Missou-
ri. The Fidelity Trust company VOL
unteered to pay the city treasury the
amount of the city's funds on deposit
in the Kansas City state bank. but the
money was not withdrawn

in Spring gardens, and afterward in
Princes street, Hanover square. Hav.
ing made pair of skates to run on
wheels. he appeared with them at a
l"asked ball give1. by Mrs. Cornelys,
in Carlisle house, Soho. He was duly
invited to display his skill. Having
put on the skates he took violin
and began whirlinE about to his own
music. One thing he had not studied,
however, and that was how to guide
himself and to step quickly, and the
result was that before the perform.
ance had lasted very long he dashed
into an immense mirror valued al
$500. smashed his fiddle to bits, and
seriously injured himself. That ap.
pears to have dam opened the spirit OF
inventors, for VIZ hear nothing OF

century.

did not listen to the statesmen sum-
moned by him to Vienna, who represent
the majority in the Hungarian parlia-
