Rlchey'aCoal Field.
The Richey Unw. have leasee 1000
acYes of land fit L'lmwood mid will
drill for coal, the Kclio lia-i the fol
lowing to say it regard to the mat
ter. Nearly six years ago the first dis
covery was nnide that coal lay bcd
d 'd in the earth beneath Klmwood.
At that time a small vein wan
struck butlfl feet under the ser
face, but no further prospect was
made. Last Monday Ritchey Hros.,
of Plattsmouth cam? out .and
looked over the ground, they have
a good deal of experience in that
line. They soon became convinced
that the prospect wan good enough
to warreut them in placing machin
ery here and making an investiga
tion. They at once secured n 20
year lease of over UXX) acres of land
in and near Klmwood ami within
sixty days the drills will be set to
work and we shall soon know the
result. Kitchey Hros. have a dia
mond drill' and have the money to
buck them and they mean busi
Mess.
Police and Schoolchildren.
The school boys of Lincoln with
assistan ;e of their teacher defined
the police last Friday and came out
on top, following is (lie account of
the alfair as given to the papers.
Two boys, one the son of A. 1). Hurr
a wealthy citizen, snowballing
oach other when a street baud pass
ed the High school building at
noon. One . of the missiles came
dangerously near smahing the
trombone player in the face, and
Officer Carder, whj was present, at
tempted to arrest the boys. The
crowd, which speedly grew to
large proportions, interfered, and
dared the policeman to make the
urrest. He called for aid, and two
officers came dashing up in the pa
trole wagon. They, too, attempted
to make the arrest, but the principle
of the school interfered and prom
ised that the ouiccrs would be
roughly handled if they made the
attempt. The principle was backed
by the crowd, who threatened to
wipe out a few of the officers, and
after a long parley the bluecoatB
decided they didn't want to arrest
anybody and retired in good order.

IT HAS BEEN HIT-HARD.
The Capital National Bank of
Lincoln Closed.
WILL BE NOTHING SAVED.
Bank Examiner Griffith Orders The
.Capital National to Close its
Doors-The State of Ne
braska a Loser.
Closed Sunday Night
National Hank Kxainiucr J. M.
Griffith of Wahoo went to Lincoln
last Saturday and examined the
Capital National bank of Lincoln
and closed it up Sunday night
about 11 o'clock. The report says it
is a bad failure and that the state is
caught to the tune of about $2T0,.
(NX).
The capital stock is $:)30,000 all
paid up. Cashier Outcalt staled
that the assets would protect the
depositors but there is great doubt
expressed as to the correctness of
this statement.
J. K. Hill ex-state treasurer in dis
cussing the situation could not re
frain from expressing a feeling of
relief that he had transferred his
office to his successor before the
crash came. In this connection it
may be stated that the bond given
by Treasurer Hartley was for $31,
100,000, which was$OU),000 more than
required by law. His bond includes
nearly all the bauks in Lincoln, two
at Fremont, Lemder Girard of Col
umbus and the Globe and Trust Co,
of Omaha.
The bank skipped a dividend the
last time, which was the first occur
rence of the kind in its history.
The last statement showed $34,000
charged to the account of profit and
loss. Some time ago the bank ex
aminer required the bank to turn a
large amount of ga9 bonds into
money, and also compelled the as
signment of the penitentiary con
tract. It is stated that the contract
was a losing investment, but other
information is to the effect that it
had always been claimed to be good
property.
State Treasurer Hartley is not In
the city having left Saturday to
spend Sunday with his family. It
is stated that the statement of the
law calling for a special bond from
every hank in which state money is
deposited had been complied with
in this case, and the bond is said to
havt been filed ten days ago. It is
signed by the Capital National
bank, C. W. Mosher and R. C. Out
calt. The bond is therefore worth
less. The Capital National bank was
constructed from the ruins of the
old Marsh Harvester bank, which
died from pure exhaustion about
eight years ago. Mosher was a
nephew of C. W. Marsh, and was
connected with the Marsh bank,
Well known bankers of Lincoln
have known for some time that this
bank wns in a bad fix, but thought
Mosher would help it along with
his private fund. They now be
lieve thatJMosherand Outcalt are in
such clo.se quarters that they could
not save anything even were they
disposed to have done so.
Another One Closed.
WAtioo, Jan. 24. The state bank
of Wahoo closed its doors today
with n card hung in the window an
nounced that the institution was in
the hands of the state banking
board. Creighton Morris, state
bank examiner was in charge dur
ing the day and announced that the
atlairs of the bank was in such con
dition that a receiver would be ap
pointed to take charge of the in
Stitutioiv. The last statement show
ed but $19,000 on deposit.
W. II. Dickinson, the proprietor
and principle stockholder of the
bank, a few weeks ago quietly dis.
posed of all his real estate.either by

A Break Down.
Wult Mason In Washington News.
I hitched my wagon to a Mar
when I was very young; I said, said
I: "Some day my name will through
the world have rung; some day I'll
wear a stove-pipe hat and smoke
high-priced cigars, I'll he a sort of
growing orb among the lesser
stars." Hut luck has never been
with me; my hopes have fallen tlat,
a chunk of plaster ntver falls, but
that it hits my hat; whene'er I yearn
for butter-milk the waiter brings
me tea; I. never tried to ride a horse
but that the horse rode me; whene'
er I fall asleep in church they tell
me I snore; if I drop bread the but
tered side is sure to strike the floor
and so it goes forever thus; 'twould
make a niarter scolT; I hitched my
wagon to a star, and all the wheels
came off.
