BEST NEW YEAR RESOLUTION
To Live More Faithfully by the Golden
Rule, Says Edwin Markham.

The noblcst resolution that any citl-
zen could make for the New Year
would be the resolution to live more
faithfully 10y the Golden Eulc, that
sublime principle Of conduct for this
world and for all worlds. FalSurc to
live 10y this law causes the chief scr
rows and collisions among men.
Let each earnest man search into his
words and ways determined 10 ind
the special manner I'm which Inc breaks
the golden law, his special habit that
works injustice or mhlppiucss I'm his

fee he Is in the habit of being late In

BOOM IN STATE
BANK CHARTERS
One Result Of Proposed Deposit
Guaranty Law.
MANY REQUESTS Are RECEIVED

May Have Effect In Many Instances Of
Forcing National Banks to Come IN
der It's Provisions 49, Suggestions
From Governor Shallenberger.
Lincoln, March 16.-'rhe committee
on banking and currency has received
some suggestions from Governor Shal.
lenberger of what he thinks should be
in the guaranty banking bill. The gov.
ernor thinks N provision should DO
made whereby banks which come UNI
der the provisions OF the proposed
law may advertise this fact, in order
that their patrons may know their &C
counts in these banks are guaranteed.
He would furnish certificate to these
banks showing they come under the
provisions of the law, and permit them
to SO state on their letter heads. A
penalty, he believes, should be pro
vided Tor misrepresentation The pros
pective law has resulted in q boom in
bank charters, many requests having
recently been received. 1t is believed
the advertising will have the effect in
many instances Of forcing national
banks to get within the provisions OF
the law.
Other Amen dments Suggested.
A number OF other amendments
were suggested by the governor. He
suggests that the board Of directors
OF bank be OF not less than three
or more thar fifteen members selected
from the stockholders, whose terms
shall be one year, the latter to be full.
ly bonded Directors shall have two
regular meetings a year and the in
spection of the books and holdings Of
the banks shall be thorough. Alter
each meeting a certificate of the con
dition of the bank shall be forwarded
to the state banking board.
The executive suggests that the pro
bank when declaring semi-annual divi-
dends may set off one-tenth Of the net
profits to surplus until this shall reach
20 per cent of the capital stock, be
| changed that the bank snail set apart
onetiith of the net profits until the
surplus shall reach in amount 90 per
cent of the capital stock
Directors, the governor thinks,
should be given authority to assess
stockholders to restore the credit of
the bank if for any reason this may
be desirable.
Suffrage Bill on General File.
Despite standing committee report
to the contrary, the senate placed the
woman suffrage bill on the general
file. The expected also happened
when the Hatfield prohibtory amend
ment was indefinitely postponed by a
vote of 16 to 10. Consideration of
both bills was had to crowded gal
leries, the women forming the greater
proportion Of the spectators. The wom-
en- refused to leave until the two bills
had been voted on, although they
we're forced to remain nearly two
hours.
Appropriations were again the or
der in the house. The Wayne normal
school bill, carrying 100000 was &C
cepted, but an attempt to purchase
the Fremont normal was turned down,
after considerable debate. The state
deaf institute at Omaha got 100000.

AMERICAN STORE SIIRS LONDON
English Firms Make Frantic Efforts
to Guido New Connection.

London, March l6.-When the doors
of the first American department

vehicles and people, and the business
OF the underground railways leading
to this point was almost unprecedented.
