ton is required.

cality. Whenever such stock is Is
sued to state bank or trust company,

amount Of capital stock In the federal
reserve bank OF its district, equivalent
to six per cent. of its unimpaired
stock.

shall also file with their application
for membership copies of their char
tiers with a digest showing the powers
they now exercise and those they ex-
pect.
1. In order to be eligible to mem
bership. the state banks and trust
companies must have unimpaired cap
ital stock. as follows:

900 inhabitants, $4,000.

Itants. $4,000.

They Fail To Force An Entrance To

Building with Skeleton Keys.

Des Moines. la. Feb. 25.-FOur
masked robbers overpowered two
guards in the office of the state treas,
urer, w. G.. Brown, at the state CAPT
toll at one o'clock this morning and
worked for three hours upon the big
safe to secure $500 in cash therein,
but failed to force an entrance with
two charges of nitro-glycerin. They
got away with only S. from the cash
drawer, leaving NJ. V. Carpenter and
J. NJ. Russell, the two night watch
men, both Civil war veterans, bound
and gagged on the floor. The police
were not notified for an hour, when
the two men succeeded in loosening
their bonds. 1t is thought that the
robbers gained entrance to the build
ing by using skeleton keys on the
south door. They entered the
treasurer's ONCE from the south cor.
ridor with skeleton keys, held up the
two watchmen, and while one guard
ed the watchmen, the three other
robbers worked on the safe. They
drilled two holes in the door and two
charges of nitro-glycerin were set off
but the door proved too strong for
them. Carpenter and Russell say
that the thieves wore long overcoats
and soft hats while the remainder of
their faces was covered with masks
and they could give no accurate de.
scription.
The police have been working on
the case all day, but this afternoon
had made no arrests. One remark
