‘•Owing to the stringency of the money
market this market is closed, with the
usual remark, 'Depositors will be paid

notice to place on the door of a meat

trouble—lack of confidence (cash).”
Athlen, it is said, has gone to Okla

A Princeton dispatch says that the
long continued dry weather and the hot
winds of lust week have done great in
jury to crops in the southern part of
Lancaster county. Oats are turning
out from ten to twenty bushels to the
acre. Corn will not make more than a
half crop, and if the dry, hot weather
continues a few days longer there will
be very little, if any, raised. Some
farmers are cutting up their corn and
feeding it.
Grasshoppers have again appeared

of Maple Creek has a field of corn
stripped of leaves by the hoppers.
With drouths, cyclones, hailstorms,
grasshoppers and occasional lightning

quite a mixed experience.

whom he was separated, out of the
way so that he could mortgage some
land, she having refused to give her
consent to the transaction. Some of
the excited villagers wanted to lynch
Kesler, but the officers had no trouble
in taking him to a place of safety.
The Gage County Democrat says:
Thirty-six years ago last Monday.
July 17, 1857, Nathan and William
Blakely, together with George and
Isma Mumford, and some others whom
they had fallen in with at Weeping
Water falls, reached Beatrice. At that
time there was not a finished house in
the city. “Pap's cabin” having been
only commenced, and its walls of logs
having reached the height of about
three feet. Mrs. Isma Mumford, who
was one of the party, was the first
white woman to settle in Beatrice.
A sad accident resulted in the death
of the infant child of A. O. Smith, a
hardware merchant of Newport. The
child was playing on the floor and it is
supposed picked up a nutshell or some
other hard substance and put it in its
mouth, and in swallowing the sharp
edges stuck in the child's throat. After
all had been done for it that was pos
sible by the local physicians, the
stricken parents started on the train
for Omaha, in hopes that the doctors
there might give some relief, but the
infant died on board the Elkhorn train
near Fremont.
Tiik agitation begun some weeks
since to secure to Lincoln the National
Grand Army of the Republic encamp
ment for 1S94 bids fair to result in
something. The Grand Army men have
been talking the matter up. and it is
probable that a public meeting to take
the preliminary steps will lie called,
shortly. It is generally believed by
gentlemen who have been looking into
the matter that Lincoln can get the en
campment without a struggle, and all
that is necessary at present is to ap
point a committee to visit Indianapolis
and ask for it.
Thk Nebraska City News takes this
incident to point a moral and adorn a
tale: “When boys want to hug the
girls we advise them to go to their
homes, or at least wait until the ‘sun
goes down,’ so that others eannot wit
ness the performance. We saw one at
that kind of business last Saturday
evening right on the most public cor
ner in the city and at the front door of
a store, and it almost became neces
sary for us to push him aside to get into
the store, but he did not evten see us,
he was so interested in his occupation.
What amused us was that another
young lady stood near by looking on,
and pefhaps wishing there was another
young man. Who knows?”
Thk weekly crop bulletin issued by
the Nebraska weather service for the
week ending July 25, compiled by Cap
tain G. E. Hunt at the United States
weather bureau in Omaha, is as fol
lows: Seven days of hot sunshine
without any rain caused unfavorable
reports from most correspondents this
week. The growth of all vegetation
has been checked, but it is doubtful if
any injury lias resulted to the principal
crops that will not be repaired bv the
good rains within the next few days,
and as this morning's weather bureau
reports show that the drouth has al
ready . been broken by showers last
night in the northern and western por
tions of the state, we may reasonably
look for more cheerful reports next
week.

Investigated—Buffalo Bill Gives the
Waifs of Chicago an Opportunity to
See the Show Free—Electrocution of
Taylor, the Murderer, at Auburn. N. Y.
—City Electrical Power Secured to Fin

The Advocates of the White Metal Give
Expression to Their Thoughts.
Nkw York, July 29.—A meeting of
the delegates from this city to the bi
metallic convention, to be held in Chi
cago next week, was held for the pur
pose of effecting an organization. A
preamble and resolutions were adopted
by the delegates, as follows:
Whereas, Official statistics prove that
the market price of silver bullion has
controlled prices for most products of
American labor, and those especially of
wheat and cotton ever since silver was
demonetized in 1873; and.
Whereas, Decline in the price of sil
ver bullion and contraction in the vol
ume of legal tender money has caused
such a fall in the price of American
products as would require more pounds
of cotton and nearly as many bushels
of wheat to pay the remainder of our
national debt now outstanding as would
nave been required at prevailing prices
in 1805 to have paid its entire amount
at that time; and.
Whereas, Depreciation in the price
of silver bullion since 1873 has caused a
decline of over 200 per cent in the price
of our cotton and over 200 per cent in
the price of our wheat, and about 100
per cent in the price of silver since that
year; -and,
Whereas, England’s control over the
coinage laws of silver-using India ena
bles England to put the price of Amer
ican wheat and cotton on the same
level with the gold cost of India wheat
and cotton when laid down in English
markets; and,
Whereas, England requires cheap
wheat to feed her people and cheap cot
ton to keep them employed in her cot
ton factories: therefore her influence is
behind nearly all efforts to put down
the price of silver bullion in order that
she can obtain the products of labor in
all countries at the starvation prices
paid for labor in that country and its
dependencies; therefore,
Resolved, That it is the first duty of
congress to carefully study the effect
the price of silver bullion has on other
products of labor in this country before
determining on any fixed policy chang
ing its present ratio with gold, or be
fore ruining all American producers by
withdrawing the slight support silver
now has under our laws; anil, be it fur
ther
Kesolved, That it is the best judg
ment of the delegates from the state of
New York to the Chicago Conference
that congress should at once thorough
ly investigate the operations of the
Treasury department, and especially
the action of the director of the mint
in selecting the market price of silver
in a foreign country to govern his
action in purchasing silver bullion
under the act of July 14, 18110. and that
if any officer, or officers, shall have
violated that law, either in that regard
or in relation to purchases required
under it. proceedings of impeachment
should be immediately commenced
against the person or persons so offend
ing.
Resolutions were also passed deplor
ing the riotous proceedings precipitated
by an organized body of men, which
invaded the meeting recently held in
the Fifth Avenue hotel for the purpose
of creating a disturbance and bringing
the meeting into disrepute.
The delegates adjourned to meet at
the Palmer house, Chicago, at 8 p. m.,
Monday, July 31.
Buffalo BUI'* Bit Heart.
Chicago, July 28.—Six thousand rest
less heads tossed on' what passes for
0,000 pillows until late last night before
they quieted down to dream of the time
when the possessors of those heads
should win halos of glory by slaughter
ing Indians until the yales should run
red with gore and kill buffalo until the
plains were dotted with the dying
brutes. For today was the day of the
waifs' annual picnic.
Since the time picnics were invented
there has never been such a one as this,
for the crowning event of the day was
a visit to Buffalo Bill's Wild West show.
The youngsters paraded to the Central
station. Here the children were loaded
into special trains and taken to Sixty
third street. At Sixty-second street
and Stony Island avenue is a tract of
vacant ground. Here a booth was
erected for serving the lunches and
here the races, fourteen in number,
came off. It was intended to form in
line and march into the Wild West
show in a body. But at 12:30 o'clock
the children began to gather at the
gate, though the performance did not
begin until 3 o'clock, in ten minutes a
stampede for the gate begun that even
the news of the arrival of two wagon
loads of ice cream could not stem.
At 12:30 the gates, though tMy had
been braced extra strong, yielded be
fore the sheer weight of numbers, and
whooping and yelling like mad the
children raced in. The boys took the
appearance of Indians in the grand city
in comparative quiet; the French and
Herman soldiers stirred their blood a
little, and the cowboys roused them to
enthusiasm, which was increased by
the appearance of the United States
cavalry. But when Buffalo Bill gal
lopped in they just went wild. They
rose, swung their caps and hats, and
screamed until they were exhausted.
Colonel Cody smiled and waved his hat
at them and the cheers burst out louder
than ever. Every time he appeared the
scene was repeated.
After the Dead wood mail had been
captured and rescued come something
that docs not take place every day.
Buffalo Bill was sent tor. He galloped'
up on his handsome charger. Superin
tendent Daniels stepped forward, sup
ported on his right by a diminutive
messenger in uniform from the Waifs
mission and on his left a picturesquely
dirty urchin with only one leg, but a
pair of sparkling brown eyes and a
keen countenance showed beneath the
dirt The messenger was James Dur
■V" j I?-, *V ',V ' ■ . .1
gan, the one-legged boy was John Tar
tuff. Superintendent Daniels expressed
tile gratitude of all the boes and girls
there for the rich treat Colonel Cody
had given them.
Then little Johnny balanced himself
on his crutch, and reaching up a small
box to the figure on horseback, piped:
"Here, diill; here’s somep’n f'om de
gang.”
I Bill bowed his acknowledgments and
took the "somep’n.” It proved to be a
red morrocco case containing a plate of
solid gold, 3x6 inches, in imitation of a
messenger ticket.
Tajlor Electrocuted.
Auburn, N. Y., July 28.—William 0.
Taylor was electrocuted at 13:45 p. m.
The electrocution of Taylor was not
a success. The foot rest of the chair
broke and the dynamo gave out, so that
a second current could not be applied.
He was not dead from the first contact
and soon began breathing heavily. He
was placed on a cot and conveyed back
to his corridor, where he continued
breathing and groaning, with the pulse
growing stronger. It is now thought
power will have to be conveyed from
the city electric plant and Taylor will
have to be placed in the chair and elec
trocuted to death. The physician says
he was unconscious after the first con
tact of 1,700 volts. His condition at
present is analogous to a man stricken
with apoplexy. Morphine has just been
administered. The witnesses are not
permitted to leave the prison.
Auburn, N. Y., July 28.—Taylor was
rtlrried again to the chair at 1:55, and a
current from a city electric light dyn
amo was passed through his body. The
second attempt proved successful.
Estimate* to Congress.
Washington, July 31.—No special
haste is being1 displayed in any of the
executive departments in the prepara
tion of estimates of expenses for the
next fiscal year, as the secretary of the
treasury will not submit such estimates
to congress until the regular sesson in
December. He has called on the differ
ent departments for their estimates
‘‘not later than September 15,” and
none of them are expected much before
that date. It will be impossible to sub
let them to the extra session of con
gress unless that shall extend at least a
month beyond September 15, as it will
.take the treasury experts at least that
long to put them in shape after they
have been received. This statement
applies to estimates of the regular ap
propriations for the support of the gov
ernment and the river and harbor im
provements, etc., but not to any special
estimates that may be required to meet
deficiencies in the appropriation for the
current year. It is the purpose of the
treasury department to have all the es
timates of regular, expenses in the
hands of the committee on appropria
tions before the 1st of November in
order that that committee may be en
abled to consider them in advance of
the regular session of congress, and
thereby facilitate the presentation of
the appropriation bills for the consider
ation of the house.
The failure of the treasury depart
ment to arrange for the submission of
the estimates to congress at its extra
session would seem to indicate the be
lief of the administration that the leg
islative branch of the government will
not consider any of the appropriation
bills before December next.
Senseless Bank Runs,
Washington, July 28.— Comptroller
Eckles has broken over precedent by
again making public a part of the offi
cial report of D. A. Cook, examiner in
charge of the Missouri National Bank
of Kansas City, as follows:
“This bank suspended on the 17th
inst., because of a run on the part of
its depositors. There was nothing in
the condition of the bank to warrant
the run or to occasion suspicion as to
its solvency. It seems to have been
prudently managed and its resources
are unusually free from items of ques
tionable value, there being no bad
debts. The bank is solvent and should
be permitted to resume. The deposit
ors very generally express a desire to
have the bank resume and promise
every assistance in their power. The
available assets of the bank amount to
$964,283.95; its liabilities, $708,258.75.
The remainder of its resources consist
of cash and items readily converted
into cash.”
The idea of the comptroller in mak
ing this statement public is to show the
fallacy of the theory that everything is
going to ruin because banks are closing
their doors here and there. If the peo
ple who have money on deposit were
not panic stricken and did not join in
wild and unjustifiable runs many banka
which are now closed would have re
mained open and be doing a healthy
business. The comptroller thinks that
to give publicity to such cases will
show the public the folly of being
frightened without cause.
Populist State Convention.
Lincoln, July 27.—The executive
committee of the state central com
mittee of the people's independent
party met in this city yesterday to
issue a call for the state convention.
The members present were: Chairman
O. W. Blake of this city, Secretary
Pirtle of this city, O. Nelson of Colfax,
Daniel Freeman of Gage, and D. Clem
Denver of Douglas. Messrs. Barry and
Brooks were absent, but were repre
by letter. Mr. Small was also
absent. There was considerable dis
cussion as to the best time for holding
the convention, some of the committee
holding for a late meeting, owing to
the approuching session of congress.
Fhe dates discussed ranged all the way
from the middle of August to the 10th
of September. The 5th of September
at 2 p. ra. was the time finally selected
and this city the place. The represen
tation was based on the vote for Van
Wyck for governor, one delegate for
each 100 votes, or major fraction, and
two at large from each county. There
were 08,000 votes cast for Van Wyck,
so that the call provides for a conven
tion of nearly 900 delegates. Judge
Maxwell was the only candidate dis
cussed and. the sentiment was about
equally divided, some of the members
holding’ that there was plenty of good
material in the middle of the road.

national Bank Failure*.
Washington, July 29.—Comptroller
of the Currency Eckles gave out the
following statement tonight: “Recent
dispatches having appeared in the
newspapers to the effect that since Jan
uary 1, 1893, 200 national banks have
failed, the following statement has
been prepared that the public may be
properly informed: Instead of 200
having closed their doors but 105 have
gone into the hands of the comptroller
of the currency. Fourteen of this num
ber have already resumed business
under favorable conditions and pos
sessed of the confidence of the commu
nities where located, and during the en
suing week it is expected several
others will have complied with the re
quirements of the comptroller and re
opened, while prior to September 1 an
equal number will resume.
•‘Out of the total of 105 closed but
thirty-seven have gone into the hands
of receivers, the balance either having
reopened or are still in the hands of the
examiners with strong prospects of re
opening. Five of the 105 banks arc
capitalized in the am'ount of $1,000,000
each, one at $800,000, six at $500,000,
thirty-six at $50,000, and the remaining
at $300,000, $250,000, $100,000 and less,
but more than $50,000, the greater
number, however, being from $100,000
to $150,000.
“By Geographical sections the fail
ures are distributed as follows: New
England states, 2: eastern states, 2;
middle and Mississippi valley states,
15; northwestern states, 6; western
states, 55; southern states, 25; total,
105.
_ “The following table shows the na
tional bank failures in the states men
tioned and also the number of national
banks yet in operation-in each state:

“In twenty-one states and territories
there have been failures of national
banks. No national banks have failed
in Boston, Brooklyn, Philadelphia,
Pittsburg, Baltimore, Washington,
Buffalo, Cincinnati, St. Louis, New Or
leans, San Francisco. Minneapolis, St.
Paul and numbers of other great com
mercial centers, and but one has closed
in New York, two in Chicago and one
in Milwaukee. The causes of the fail
ures in New York and Chicago are due
largely to mismanagement, as were
numbers of others. Local scares have
caused many of late to suspend. Nine
of the banks that failed were robbed by
officials who are now under arrest. ”
Nebraska's Sugar Production.
Washington, July 29.—Commission
er of Internal Revenue Miller declines
give out the figures of the production
and bounty of each of the two beet su
gar industries of Nebraska. There is a
law which prohibits any revenue officer
from making public the operations of
any private business of any man or
firm which he may visit in an official
capacity, under the severe penalty of
$1,000 fine, a year's imprisonment and
total disability from future office hold
ing. The law was passed before the
sugar bounty was created, but Commis
sioner Miller, in answer to the repeated
request for a detailed statement on the
beet sugar industry, has decided that
it applies to that as well. The aggre
gate production of beet sugar by the
two factories in Nebraska, Grand Is
land and Norfolk,was 3,803,500 pounds,
and the sugar was all of the first grade
and secured the full two cents bounty.
Revenue Taxes Must Be Paid.
Washington, July 89.—A petition,
signed by many of the leading distill
ers of the state of Kentucky, has been,
presented to Secretary Carlisle, asking
that the collection of the internal reve
nue taxes due on spirits remaining in
bond that were distilled and bonded in
May and June, 1890, be postponed for
ninety days. The forced payment of
these taxes at this time will not only
embarrass the distillers, says the peti
tion, but will also withdraw from cir
culation and also from the banks large
sums of money which are now needed
for the mercantile use of the commu
nity. Secretary Carlisle replied that
the law providing for the collection of
the tax was obligatory and that he
could do nothing to relieve them.
Siam's Only Hope Gone.
London, July 39.—The Bangkok cor
respondent of the Times says: The
prompt enforcement of the blockade,
which virtually damages only Great
Britain, has, seemingly, convinced th#
Siames that the assumed friendly at
tempt at intervention by Great Britain
st Paris has not availed to modify the
conditions of the ultimatum. Siam,
therefore, will probably concede imme
diately the last difference remaining
between her and France by accepting
the ultimatum, puqe and simple. Siam
has not received the slightest official
support from Great Britain throughout
the difficulty.
No Time to Addrcia Negro Democrats.
Washington, July 39.—A call was
