LINCOLN', Sept. l.-(Spcclnl.)-"Thoro Is no better criterion from which wo can Judge tho financial condition of any locality than Its bauklnK facilities and bank de posits," said President S. II. llurnham of tho Klrst National bunk, today, In speak ing of the general prosperous condition of tho city of Lincoln. "The gains made by the Lincoln Institutions during the lost four years are almost beyond comprehension. Over the year 1800 there has been a gain In deposits of nearly 200 per cent and In de posits carried In Lincoln by outside banks of over C72 per cent. That docs sound a llttlo remarkable, doesn't It?" Tho figures quoted by Mr. llurnham. In speaking of tho percentage of gain In tho Hems of deposits, arc computed from the official report of all national banks In the city. They show n condition of business such as has never before existed In tho city, a, feeling of confidence on the part of de positors and a general state of unexampled prosperity. "Never in Its history was Lincoln on as sound a basis as It Is today," continued Mr. nurnham to The nee correspondent. "It has passed ihrough Its liquidating process and values are on a basis that bring legitimate returns for the capital Invested. There Is scarcely an Idle man In the city and any ono who wants employment finds no trouble In obtaining It and at good wages at Hint. Four years ngo It was almost Impossible for women to walk along the streets, owing to the men who congregated at every corner discussing politics. Now men are loo busy to stop and bother with politics and right hero Is one danger which threatens the com ing campaign; that Is, tho wage-earners, as well as tho business men, will neglect their duty at tho polls, owing to their tlmo being so fully occupied. When llrynn rim! Hun. "It Is especially worthy of notice at this time to contrast tho condition of the Lln roln banks with what It was four years ngo. There wore at that tlmo three nutlonal bnnks In Lincoln and there are thrco nntlonal banks hero now. 1 hnve tho statements of tho banks made in October, 18!i6, Just before the Inst presidential campaign, mid you couldn't find anything more Interesting thnn a compari son of thoso statement! with tho ones re cently made under tho comptroller's last call.

The authorities believe that an ounce of pre vention applied In this way Is better thnn a pound of cure. At last night's meetlns of the street fair committee It was derided to Increase the appropriation for the amusement committee by J75 In order to provide awnings for the gun club events and additional seats for the bafe ball games. The lighting and dec orations committee was given an extra sum to bo expended In decorations for tho bandstand and arches at Sixth and Dewey streetB. A profusion of flowers, bunting and miscellaneous decorations will be used for this purpose and a string of Japanese lanterns will bo hung from buildings on the four corners to the bandstand, which Is located In the middle of the street In tersection. Chairman A. II. Davis of the public com fort service reported that he had made a thorough canvass of the city for lodgings for street fair visitors and had found that several hundred of them could be taken care of In private homes In nddltlnn to the number which the hotels can accommo date. The cxccutlvo committee Is arrang ing to supplement this with n thousand cots and beds, which are to be placed In tents and vacant building.

Judge llclmes In the district court this afternoon took under advisement the case In which the middle-of-the-road populists appealed from the decision of Secretary of State Porter re fusing them the privilege of a plnce on the olllclal ballot under the party designation ' DODullst." The argument today was en- I tlrely on the question of Jurisdiction of tho court. Judge Hlalr of Omnha was present In behalf of tho nppcllnnts, and T. J. Doyle and James Mauahan of this city appeared to contest tho caso for tho people's Inde pendent party. At the closo of the argument judge Holmes announced that tho contro versy had narrowed down to tho question or the constitutionality of the law under which Secretary Porter assumed to act, aud that If he decided the law valid there was no rea son why the party should not bo allowed to use the designation "populist" as It pleased. The argument continued during the entire nfternoon. Secretary Porter, agalnBt whom tho appeal Is directed, made no appearance In court.
