Think Russian Designs Peaceful.

1t was thought that Russia was only
seeking to achieve valuable points prior
to the Forthcoming conference over 4
renewal Of the treaty in order that these
advantages might be represented to the
conference as already accomplished. The
ST. Petersburg government was doing
this with the knowledge that China in
recent months had been sending commits
sions to Mongolia and Iii province to
study conditions there in order that this
government might be prepared to enter
the conference possessing full knowl-
edge Of its own interests. an advantage
that it has lacked in earlier conferences.

he would file suit later in the day for
$4,000 against Assistant Chief of Police

little girls by the name of Chester, living
In the country near Hayes showed judg-
ment few nights ago which would have
down credit to older people. They left

ing the trail which led to their home,
and realizing that they were not on the
right road for home, turned their horse
and followed their own track back to the
school house. Then not taking any more
chances in the dark they made themselves
and their horse as comfortable as pos
slble and "camped down" for the night
Their father in searching for them was
lost for some time. but finally reached
a fence, which he followed until It took

COLUMBUS. o., Dec. 4-The Union
National bank today posted notice of
suspension by a resolution of the board
of directors. 1t was further stated that
the bank is now in the hands OF the
comptroller Of the currency.
As the action of the directors had been
expected II is not thought the closing OF
the bank will have any effect on the local
financial situation
The capital stock of the bank was
$3.50 900. its surplus 100000 and It is esti-
mated that its deposits approximated 81
100000.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.--The failure Of
the Columbus Union National bank in
volved possible loss of about ssGO,OO0

Of the currency. Assets TO that extent
covering the Institutions capital, surplus
and undivided profits appeared to be Of
