It nhows a very material In crease In banking bus'lnS3 all over the slato and In conclusion Secretary Hall adds that tho Btato banking system of Nebraska Is second to that of no other state In ciriclency nnd safety. Already over $31,000, 000 of nsso'.s nro Hold by tho banks under tho nupervlMlon of the stato authorities, which docs not Include tho national bankx, nnd thero Is every promise that theso Insti tutions will keep pace with tho growth of tho state. They aro Nebraska Institutions and are created and controlled by Nebraska laws. During tho period covered by Secretary Hull's report twenty-three new banks wcro nuthorlzed nnd chartered, of which number tivcnly were Incorporated with n total paid up capital of $200,250. and three wcro prlvato concerns with a total paid-up capital of $IK,000. Klvo banks wcro changed from private to Incorporated and ono bank was changed from a corporation to a prlvatci In stitution. Kour Incorporated banks were reincorporated and reorganised and ten banks wont Into voluntary liquidation, pay ing all creditors In full. Only ono bank was closed and placed In the hands of i receiver tho Farmers' and Merchants' bank of Iliitte, Royd county.

SPECIAL AGENTS BUTTETtlCIC PATTERNS AND ALL THEIR NEW PUJBLICATIONS KELLEY, STIGER So COMPANY CORNER PA RNAM AND PIPTRENTH STREETS that tho banking act of 1S93 for the first tlmo established n State Hanking Hoard and provided for tho appointment of n secre tary, and adds that In his opinion if tho restrictions of the law of 1S93 had been provided and enforced prior to tho year 1893 many of tho failures that occurred during tho period of business depression would have been prevented, SiiKKi'st" Anirniliiients. Sevoral amendments to tho existing banking laws aro suggested, chief among which aro provisions restricting otllccrs and employes of a bank from borrowing or In any way converting to their own uso uny bank funds, for a statutory definition of the word "bank," for better protection of depositors and for a change In the present fee system of compensation for stato bank exnmlners. Concerning these proposed amendments, Secretary Hall says: "An amendment prohibiting tho odlccrs and employes of n bank from borrowing or In upy way converting to their personnl uso any of tho funds thereof, would be a protection both to tho stockholders and de positors. Such an nmendement was Intro duced In the houso by Representative Kvans of Adams county in tho last legislature, but failed to become a law. Such an amend ment Is almost a necessity. "In former reports I havo called attention to the unsatisfactory results obtained by the present methods of winding up tho af fairs of banks when placed In .tho hands of receivers. While thero nro many Instances whoro receivers havo discharged their duties with caro and fidelity, yet all too often tho appointment to tho position of a receiver ship has been considered by the appointee ns i personal snap nnd the assets of tho bank legitimate prey. Tho history of re ceiverships of both state and national banks In tho stato has ibeen a fruitful sourco of complaint and with reason. "An nttcmpt was made to remedy tho evils arising under tho present system ap plying to banks under stato supervision at tho Inst session of tho legislature. A bill was Introduced by Senator Kowler cf Kill moro county, senate Hie No. 61, which would have dono much In that direction, but It nlsa failed to becomo a law. This matter should be called to tho attention of the next legis lature. "Kfforts were mado nt the last two ses sions of the legislature to nmend tho bank ing net by providing for a reserve fund, to bo collected from the banks for tho protec tion of depositors. While protection to tho depositors of a failed bank Is a matter of tho greatest Importance, nnd protection along tho Hoes attempted, as above Indicated, meets the approval of many experience 1 bankers whoso opinions I highly prize, yet I have never been able to bring myself to seo that such a plan would ibo equitable. Thero Is, however, opportunity for dlfforeneo of opinion and, to use a common expression, two good sides to tho question. "Tho present fee system by which stato bank examiners recelvo compensation should bo changed, so that a fixed salary and noces sary expenses would bo paid them. "Tho feo system In any public position Is objectionable for many reasons. Provision should bo made for banks to pay an ex amination feo direct to tho state treasurer, by him to bo disbursed, through warrants regularly drawn by tho auditor of public accounts." OrKiiuUltiK tor the CiiinjinlKM. The preliminary arrangements for the re publican campaign In Lancaster county were begun today, with the reorganization of the county central committee and the appointment of T. C. Munger. now county attorney, as Its chairman, to succeed J. II, McClay. The candidates nominated at tho convention yesterday afternoon met this morning nt headquarters In tho Capital hotel and discussed plans for carrying on an active tight In overy precinct In tho county Mr. Thompson attended this conference and had much to say concerning the selection of Munger for chairman of the committee.

MAN IS DANGEROUSLY SHOT ('linn ClirlNtmnii of Waterloo In Shot Tivli'f liy One lliiilnon Keiillier. WAT KR LOO, Neb., April 7. (Special Telegram.) At 7:30 o'clock this evening Hudson Feather shot Cass Chrlstman twice, once through tho left hip. the ball passing entirely through tho hip. then through tho testicles nnd lodging In tho right leg. The doctor has not been able to locato the ball. Tho second shot was a llttlo lower down and went entirely through the right limb. Tho shooting was dono with a 38-callber revolver, and whllo tho parties wcro about thrco feet apart. Roth mon live on tho Klkhorn river, a mile south of town. Hudson Feather lives In n smnll shack on tho river bank, nnd ns thero was no roa 1 to his place, Chrlstman allowed him to cross through his place; also allowed him to uso his boat nnd let his cow run In the stalks and befriended him In every way possible ho could. Lately Chrlstman Ins had to be away from heme, working at his trado as a plasterer, anil as thero wn no man nround tho place, Mrs. Chrlstman had to carry water for the cattlo running In the stalks. Sho asked her husband to sen! word to feather to tako his cow out. as shu could not carry water for It. This seemed to havo angered him, and when ono of ChrlBtman's nnlmnls got out Feather locked It up. When Louis Zwybold, Chrlstman's helper, went after It Feather told him ho ought to pay him something for It, but gavo It up without Insisting on payment of a.vy nmount, but told him to tell Chrlstman to como down and got his boat. When ho returned to the houso and gave Feathor message both Mr. and Mrs. Chrlstman walked down to get their boat, Intcnllng to tlo It up further up tho river. When they retched the boat Feather was appar ently waiting nnd expecting them. One word brought on nnothcr, nnd Chrlstman turned to go home, when Feather shot him. Tho wounded man walked probably a block before ho fell to tho ground exhausted. Hudson Feather canto to town and gavo h'm self Into tho custody of Town Marshal Campbell, saying he had shot n man In self defense. Ho Bays that when Chrlstman started for tho house ho thought ho was going for a gun and that he had better shoot while he had a chance. Hudson Feather bears a bad reputation, having run away with another man's wife about a year ago, nnd six months ago he threatened to shoot Arthur Hlakc when ho refused h'm permission to crofs his farm In getting to the main road. Mr. Chrlstman, on the other hand, Is ono of the most quiet men In tho vicinity nnd bears the best of reputations. Ho moved from Omaha horo about threo years nso and Is well known there. The injured man Is resting easily and tho doctor has some hopes of his re covery. Hudson Feather will bo taken to Omahi tomorrow, as thero is talk of lynching. llnllroail Work' llruun.
