toTnr. HBE , ] The heaviest I1nnncl.il crash
that has struck this city In a Ions , ' time was
announced this morning by this simple notice
jested on the door of the Citizens National
bank
Owing to slow collections , the hniml of di
rectors of tills bank have ordered the same

In lean than an hour after the closing of
tlio lilyik anxious creditors and depositors
occupied the corner of Third nnd Ix > cust
ffrreets , where the Citlzcn unlc Is located.
There wcro no tingry worm , nor was there
any sccna of tliat kind , oven depositors sym
pathizing \vltli thu Institution , which luis
liccn liberal and enterprising. Jt was
rumored that deposits amounted to fl3WX ) ,
with only Slfi.OKO cash on hand. Tills could
neither bo ascertained to bo correct nor was
It denied.
l ! . A. ICocnlp , president of the bank , was
seen by Tun Ben representative and told of
this rumor , but said he could say nothing
about It.
\Vnltlnt ; for thu r.x.inilnm. -
"Wo can make no statement , " ho said.
' You must wait until the batik examiner
conies nnd can make his report. Certainly
If wo had the cash to pay the depositors wo
would not liavo closed. Wo wcro below the
legal icscrvo. "
Bank Examiner , f. M. Grlfllth has tele-
fcraphcd that he will arrive tonight. Upon
Ills rcnorl to the comptroller of the currency
n receiver will bo appointedand It Is thoupht
by sotno there Is plenty of collateral In the
bank to moot every rent duo the depositors ,
but It will take time. At the sumo tlino
tlicrn uro othcrb who are not so sanguine as
to the outcome.
Largo holdings of real estate , slow collec
tion or farm and other notes are unautborl-
tattvcly eiven as factors in the bank's closj
condition , which was aggravated by n largo
withdrawal of deposits , such withdrawal
being Increased by Individual suits against
several of the stockholders , fho street rail
way Is closely connected with thu bank and
It IB feared It will bo seriously affected.
There have been no runs on any of the other
bunks and none is feared. Assistance was
nought from other banks , but was declined ,
the reason being given thut the Cltzous
paper did nnt war-ant It. The bank was
the oldest In Grand Island. It was organ-
i/cd In 1371 and had a capital stock of ? GO- ,
000. TJio directors were : .Tonn Jj. Means ,
O.A.Abbott , liust.ivu ICochlor , Henry A.

Ono Katlmutu of tlio Situation.
The following figures as to the condition
of the Citizens National bank nro given by n
loo.il paper tonight : Liabilities , deposits ,
JIKV.UO ; rediscounts. $20.000 ; assets , notes
discounted , TOiil.lS ; ( ; cash on hand , $13.-

IPJVVP. after the payment , of deposits , a sur
plus of t7'J,811.i7. ; But there is soruo doubt
that n part of the assets are collectable.
How largo this portion is nobody can tell
now and during tl.o present depression of
business and of the money market it will un
doubtedly take n good whllo to realize on
outstanding notes , which are collectable.
U-'ho ortlcials are meeting with the best of

by Illness , Two years ago ho suffered from
nn attack of the grip , nnd when ho recov
ered his physical vigor It was found that his
mental faculties had become impaired. Ho
was not considered at all dangerous , and so ,
instead of being sent to an Insane asylum ,
ho was cared for by- his friends. Ho was. re

Ho never developed violent symptoms until

however , that ho was extremely irritated
over something and baforo the day closed
she realized that bo had at last become-
violently Insane. She tried In vain to quiet
him , but before she could secure assistance
or alarm the neighbors ho attacked her

Ha evidently intended to cut her throat ,
but only partially succeeded. She received
a dcop gash on the left side of her neck ,
which caused a painful but not dangerous

The controversy over the existence of the

Hov. Mr. Shepherd , a Methodist minister of

have galnod his Information by personal in
vestigation. Mayor Weir and the excise-
board seemed to doubt his statements , and
together they made a tour of the prescribed
districts of the city , going over the same
ground covered by the clergyman. As a re
sult of their Investigations the mayor and
thn members of the board published u state
ment denying the assertions of the reverend
gentleman. Not satisfied with this the
mayor has laid the matter before Elder

Church llo ve' Serious Case.
The announcement made this' evening for
the first time that Hon. Church Howe of
Nemahn county was lying seriously ill at
the Hotel Lincoln from the effects of a
painful burgical operation , created genera
surprise. None but his most intimate
friends had been apprised of the'reason for
his visit to Lincoln Friday. Hoarrivcd in
the city in the evening nndthenixt morn
ing consulted a physician in regard to a
tumorobs growth in the right bide of
his throat and neck. Ho" was Informed
that an Immediate operation -was nec
essary. Saturday ho was subjcctol tea
a severe test to see whether ho was
In proper physical condition for the opera
tloa and yesterday forenoon ho submitted
himself to the surgeon's knife , the con
ditions having been found perfectly favor
able. Mr. Howe was under tno influence of
nn anesthetic for an hour.
The tumor , which is described by the sur
geons as a tubercular growth or enlargement
of ono of the principal glands , proved to bo
as largo as an ordinary hcn'.i egg. It had
grown downward and Inward and in order
to remove it It was necessary to expose the
Jugular vein for several iuches. The physi
cians who performed the operation state
that the tumor would have been attached to
the jugular vela In another thirty days and
that In that event the removal would bays
been fatal.
Mr , Howe stood the dangerous operation
remarkably well. Ho suffered intense pain
yesterday all day , but Is feeling much better
today and his physicians say that ho will bu
entirely out of danger by tomorrow or next
day. 2 Ho is being cared for at the hotel by
his son , Herbert.

Mr. Edward lloscwntor. oaltor of THE
Ben , w s nvitcd to address tbo board on
thoniiUior. 11 3-U tint no did not sio
why ihcio should bj any further delay la
this matter , as thcro could not bo a decision
of the supreme court before January , 1804.
Ho tnoupht It oven possible that If tlio ques
tion wcro declilea tomorrow It might not
settle the matter definitely. ' 'It Is only
necessary for the board to comply with the
law,1' said Mr. liosqwator , "anil the board
should order tlio notices printed in the paper
having the largest , circulation two weeks
baforo the granting of licenses , so that if
nnvono bus a remonstrance to inako against
the granting of a license ho may he Informed
of Iho application In duo season. A notice
published in the Sunday edition of n news
paper is not legal , although THE SUNIUT UEIS
lias the largest circulation of any paper In
the western country. "
Ho referred to the fact that in a similar
contest , in which the Chicago Tribune was
concerned , the decision of the supreme
court of Illinois was to the efleet that no
publisher could Include moro than one
edition in n statement of circulation. The
AVorld-IleralQ Includes tbrco editions in its
statement against ono from THE BIE. : In the
past such Jugglery as now attempted by the
World- Herald never took place , when the
old Hepubllcantand Herald had greater circu
lations than the World-Hernia now has.
Mr. Hosowater showed up the falsity and
absurdity of the claims of the World-Herald
regarding Its circulation. Ho wanted this
question decided uv the boar 1 as a matter of
prinriplo and ho want HI it decided on Us
mci it land the notices ( .1 von to the paper with
th : largest bom lldocirculitionin compliance
wllh Judge Kpysor's decision tnat only on
edition of any paper should bo considered In
the matter of circulation.
Mr. Uosewatcr requested that the board
specifically designate which paper is en
titled to legally print these liquor notices.

Whereas , Last year much confusion , delay ,

fore ,
\Vo the undersigned brewers , .saloon keepers

iiiust | your honorable body to aslc the different
now.sp.ipcrs In thU county to ( submit to you at ,
once statement , under oath of thu circulation
of that edition ot their resoectlvo papers
which has the largest circulation In this
county , HO ns to enable us to determine lu
which paper our notices ahull bo published.
The Fred ICrug Brewing company asked
that the board designate the newspaper
having the.largest circulation In this cits'
and in which publication of notices of appli
cation for liquor licenses may bo mado.
Mr. CoburnN Ill-solution.
Commissioner Cob'irn ' IctroJucel the fol
lowing resolution :
Resolved , That the publishers of "news
papers In Douglas county , Nebraska , are
hereby requested to submit to this
bourd , at or before 7 o'clock p. in. ,
of i the Gth day of December , 1833 , u
statnment. under oath , showing the number of
copies of tholr respective newspapers in circu
lation In this county during thn months
of .September , Cctobur und November ,
180.1. Under the decision ot the courts
only ono edition of nay newspaper
can bo considered us coming wltliln the meanIng -
Ing nt the statutes , therefore publishers are
requested In making tholr statements to this
board to designate the edition ( or which they
claln the largest circulation In this county , ex
cluding from said statement any edition pub
lished on Sunday and all sample copies and
papers returned "not sold" by newsboys and
newsdealers ; be It further
Hesolved , That the clerk nf this board Is
hereby Instructed to ttansmlt by mall to pub
lishers copies of those resolutions.
"How the .Mayor Stood.
Mayor Bomls called Commissioner Hartman -
man lo the chair and seconded the resolu
tions. He said that the board had been ap
pealed to by all the parties concerned to
settle this question in order that they may
secure tholr licenses and avoid the trouble
which occurred last year. Ho wan in favor
of settling the matter at once by giving the
publishing of the notices to the paper having
the largest circulation.
Ktrlcklnr'H-"Legal Opinion. " '
This would Knock out the World-Herald
and Commissioner Strickler came to tlio
'front with a legal opinion in which ho sought
to show that any paper could publish thcso
notices and they would be legal. It was
learned that the World-Herald would not
submit n sworn statement of its circulation.
Air. hiuiin saiu no was wining to noiuo uy
the decision of Judge Koysor. Coburn and
the mayor stood by the resolution and the
matter became the subject of a general dis
cussion , Mayor Bomls censured the board
for its delay In the inattor , and said that the
question should bo settled at once in justice
to more than 250 persons who deal in liquors.
Votoil llio llekoliitloii Iloirn ,
Attorneys representing the brewing coin-
panics nslted that the board ascortata the
circulations of TUB BEE and World-Herald ,
so that they might have something by which
they could bo governed in the printing ot
those applications for licenses ,
Tlio commissioners seemed to bo undecided
as to the best plan of procedure and they
looked for the easiest way out of the matter.
Thpy wanted the men who would mai'e
application for licenses to go to the pub
lishers of THE Bee nnd World-Herald and
get from them statements of their circula
tion.
