Run on the Bank

When the bank closed its doors this
afternoon more than 1000 depositors
were clamoring for their money. Nearly
$1,0OO.OOO had been paid out in the
course of two hours and but a. small
percentage of the customers demanding
the closing of their accounts had been
served. One of the first callers was
business man who presented check
for 100000, the entire amount of his
account. He was followed by the city
treasurer, who drew out $500 900 Of the
city's funds. Withdrawals in sums
ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 quickly
followed, and by 2 clock in the after
noon a line of people extended from
the bank entrance east to Broadway
and in the other direction around the
corner and north on East Water street.
The chamber of commerce was one of
the firms that was quick to withdraw
its funds. AS soon as the news of
the defalcation reached the offices of
the chamber meeting of the directors
WAS called and the entire amount of
deposit with the First National bank
was ordered withdrawn. Secretary
Langsan called at the bank and took
out the account in person.
He refused to state the amount
Withdrawn. The state of Wisconsin had
several hundred thousand dollars de-
posted in the bank, and it is thought
that Will be also withdrawn at the
open for business tomorrow.

BigeIoW's Confession

President Bigelow's confession was
made at a special meeting of the board
of directors held Saturday evening, and
continued yesterday and all of last
night. In addressing his fellow di-
rectors President Bigelow said he had
painful statement to make, con-
fession that he had misdirected the
funds of the bank, and that an exam
ination of his books and a comparison
of figures would show that he was in
debted to the bank to the amount of
over $1,45O.00O. This money, he said,
had been lost in speculation in wheat
and stocks. Not dollar of it could
be recovered, and the only sum he could
offer toward recompensing the bank
was personal securities valued at ap-
proximately 100000.
The confession of President BigeIow
astounded the directors of the bank.
Mr.. Bigelow had been recognized as one
of the foremost financiers for many
years. He has been associated with the
First National bank in various capaci-
ties for more than fifteen years, and
his business connections in the trust
companies, manufacturing concerns,
real estate deals and other similar VEN
lures number scores. He was honored
a year ago by election to the presidency
of the American Bankers association
and by it's members was looked UPON
as n leader. I'm financial ,natters

Had Been Specializing

In making his statement to the di-
rectors Of the bank Mr., Blgelow said
he had been involved in speculat ton
several months ago. This was I'm Wall
street. Later he had been persistent
bull IN the wheat market and recent
losses there had added to the heavy re-
verses on Wall street. From small
manipulations of the banks funds he
had extended the defalcation until his
shortage had reached the present stage.
He saw no opportunity nor possibility
of making up the amount and there
fore confessed.
II is stated that the meeting of the
directors, which was almost continuous
for thirty-six hours, was stormy at
times. Several plans We're suggested
for protecting the interests of the bank

periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer so severely. Menstrual

vitality. If it is painful or irregular

set right or it will lead TO serious de-
rangement of the whole female organ
