Judge Holmes of the Lancaster county
district court entered up a final decree to

ings bank receivership. The court finds
that the upsets of the Institution have been
exhausted, that Its entire Indebtedness. Is
$156.!i3S.2!i. all of which Is unpaid, and that
there Is still duo the creditors, less the
amount on hand, $154,627.70.
Tho court finds that u large number of
tho stockholders, both past nnd present, aro
Insolvent, nnd th.V. unthlng can be roaized
upon their liabilities to the bank and Its
creditors nnd that In order to pay the In
debtedness of the Institution It l.i necessary
to call on all the stockholders of the c n

stock subscriptions and make a further .13
serament of 100 per cent of tho stock held

Tho bnnk was organized with $250,000

as tho union was organized tho oaddles
went on a strike for higher wnges. They
hnd been getting 5 cents for going tho
coumo, which takes about forty-flvo min
utes, and as tho Golf club had adopted a
ruling which prevented Its members from
paying their raddles more than 5 cents por
round they were never paid any more than
that amount. Hut the sudden demand fcr
their serviced caused the caddlni to go out
yesterday on n strike for in cento por
round and from present Indications they
will succeed In getting the price they de
mand, ns tho golf links havo been entliely
deserted since the strikers went out.

YORK. Neb., May 26. (Special.) "York
county will roll up a heavier republican 1
voto than ever before," -was tho remark of '
a Yerk county fnrmer who has kept tab I
on votes of neighboring farmers. "That
populist Heard of Transportntlon who re- j
fused to Increaso the valuation of assess
ment of railroads In Nebraska over valua
tion!! made by the republicans years ago
will hear from York county when votes are
counted, or I will miss my guess," he con
tinued. The farmer has Just bad the valu
ation of his farm Increased 20 per cent.
York county farms havo not increased In
vnlue n.s much proportionately as Nebraska
railroads. York county farmers have been
so prosperous since 1S06 thnt county records
show that they havo paid off In excess of
new farm mortgages made between $SOO,000
and $1,000,000.
