1t is impossible today to make a
statement OF liabilities and resurces
owing to reports from the various
Branches not being at hand
The mining and other stocks of
the Banks clients are actually in
hand. except those covered by the
orders OF the past two days, and
these Will arrive, and are subject to
delivery on demand as soon as ar
rangements can be made for the
opening of the Bank at certain hours
for that purpose. and for the uses OF
renters of Safety Deposit Boxes.
The Nye and Ormsby Bank contin-
ued 10 do business this morning after
the other bank had closed it's doors
and this fact did considerable toward
quieting the fears of the people.
Gradually though reports were circu-
lated about and little after 10
o'clock depOsitOrs began a steady file
toward this institution All checks
were paid in full as presented at
the paying counter until at about II
o'clock for policy sake the bank clos
ed its doors.
When this became known many of
the people became panicy and all
kinds OF rumCrs We're afioat. The
conservatives, however. got busy and
in few hours the feeling against
this institution had cooled down CON
siderably. A number OF deposits of
various amounts were made in this
! bank this morning which showed
| that the lack OF confidence in its
| management was NOT felt by every
! one.
George w. Cowing. cashier OF the
Nye and Ormsby Bank in speaking
| Of the situation this afternoon TO a
representative of the Appeal had the
! following to say:

ing stair we go and | am think
ing thisi is like the stairs we read
about in the Spider and the
fly" for there were certairly
many "pretty things" to be seen
once down those winding stairs.
These stairs were carpeted
handsomely and we landed in a
hall which was also ell gantly
furnished, its appointments be-
ing in striking contrast to the
rough weather beaten exterior
of the vessel. Well in this hall
we were shown pipes, matches,
swords and executioners' axes
until was glad indeed to leave
and enter the officers quarters
proper. Now words fail me
in giving a description of
these parts. You would have
to see them to appreciate Their
magnificience. l will tell you
something Of the officers cabin.
1t is about 14x14 feet square
The ceiling was painted white
excepting the large supports
which were hand carved and
with chrysanthemums (the
national flower) and these were
painted red and gold. The
sides of the room were in
panels-one side was almost
covered with odd shaped
swords. We were told that
these swords were never used
in war, but each was symbol
of rank which the officers were
at different times on different
occasions. The queer hats and
gorgeous gowns we saw here,
all emblematic of an official
career. The enclosed photo
will convey some idea of the
elegance of the furniture of
this cabin. The chairs, small
and large tables, settees and
mantle piece were all of solid
ebony, inlaid with genuine
mother of pearl. The back of
each chair contained a piece of
beautiful blue marble. This
furniture was polished beauti-
fully. In this cabin was a
Chinese vase over 100 years
old and valued at $500. 1t
was certainly an odd treasure.
On reaching the deck again,
we were shown the anchor of
this queer old ship. It was in
shape like this VI the verticle
piece being about 10 inches
square and the oblique pieces
about 6 inches square. This
anchor was made Of solid ma
hogany and is very heavy. 1t
took the whole crew of 48 men
to throw it overheard. / am

Clergy Bureau No More

The Western Passenger
association has decided to with
draw the clergy bureau and all
clergy permits, except in such
states as have the Scent fares.
Attention will be given to
clergy travel and courtesies
will be extended to this class of
travel only in the Dakotas and
such other states not yet af-
fected by 2cent rate legisla-
tion. Clergymen in Iowa and
all other states where 2.cent
rate laws have been passed will
have to pay full fare, the same
as all other classes of passen-
gers. Clergymen in South
Dakota, North Dakota and
other states with Scent rate
laws may continue to ride for
half fare.
The association also will
abolish all branch agencies for
the present, the reason given
being slack business and the
general disposition to practice
economy wherever possible.
"Speaker Henderson is dead,' .
says the Des Moines Ca ,ital,
"Lacy defeated, the republican
party is split wide open, the
population of the state is fall
ing off, valuations and taxation
increased, number of employees
multiplied, salaries advanced,
loafing and idleness the rule by
those paid for work-this is a
schedule of ach; ;evement that
ought to make any bo-s or fac
ton proud"

From a letter in the New

Auburn, Me-, recently made
her go-to-bed prayer in these
words: ''Dear God, be awfully
carefully of yourself, for if we

body but the president, and
papa does not like the way he

I was just in time to rest and

"Think, said she, "he is the
city clerk cf the town in which

that Mr.. Tsmisiea had lost his
umbrella and told her Eyes. .
She then said. eff you will pay
me four bits, I'll tell you where
you can find it"

about his old oh'.ella anyway,

Now | don't know what to
make of it, but am anxious to
find out if it is in Mayor With

have much faith in what she
said but I'd like for some one
to look there and if Tamisies
finds it there TIL just charge
him the so cents I'm out.
This is a marvellous country

markable. and when properly
cultivated produces a bale OF

August. He said he cravec
tobacco as much now as he die
the first hour after he resolved
to stop. We have an idea thai
had we been witness to &
struggle similar to our own in
boyhood; had our father ex|
planned why boys should not
chew or smoke, instead of shak-
ing a switch under our nose
with the observation that ne
boy of his could use tobacco un.
disturbed, we would have avoid.
ed the distressing habit. We
had an idea that the head OF
our house was selfishly enjoy.
ing a pleasure. and refused tc
divide with h;s sons, and the
result was that all of his sons
now devour tobacco in the most
disgraceful fashion. The habit
is a very distressing one. We
hope parents will discard the
old methods of prohibition and
endeavor to save their sons by
a new plan.

truthfulness: A deaf old
gentleman had a prescription

the price. "Seventy-five cents"
responded the polite clerk,
whereupon the old gent handed
him five cents. Il say Is cents"
roared the clerk through the
ear trumpet. "Well, there's
your money!" came the answer.
After a few manouvers of this
sort with the same outcome the
clerk resignedly dismissed the
customer saying, "Well, 60 on,

cents on the deal, anyhow"
