Lexington. Ky.. Jan. C. A four
hour run on a local bank, together
with the starting of a grand jury
investigation of rumors that caused
the run and news that Gov. Edwin
P. Morrow has under consideration
conference to bring about the settle
ment of the tobacco situation, were
the chief developments in the central
Kentucky tobacco district today.
County mass meetings of growers
who forced the closing of most state
markets this week, when they refuesd
to accept prrces offered, today se
lected delegates to a general mass
meetine to be held here tomorrow.
The meeting :s to decide whether or
not tobacco shall be planted in 1921
and to attempt to devise means of
marketing tLe 1920 crop.
The Bank of Commerce was the ob
ject of the run. Rumors that the
bank had loaned so much money on
tobacco that it could not pay depos
itors were alleged to have been re
sponsible. It was said that the ru
mors reached bank officials last night
and Cashier F. G. Stilz asked the
clearance house committee to exam
ine the books. This committee to
day issued a statement that the bank
was solvent. Mr. Stilz supplemented
this with a statement that all depos
itors were fully secured.
These statements with heavy de
posits by business men and trans
fers of large sums of cash from oth
er institutions to the bank appar
ently quieted depositors before clos
ing time and withdrawal slackened.
The bank, in its statement of De

"Even before I had taken half a
bottle of Tanlac I noticed u wonder
ful improvement in my condition,"
said Mrs. Elizabeth Finnell, 1C41 X
street. Lincoln, Neb.
"For five years, everything I ate;
fermented and bloated and distressed
me terribly. I had to be taking
something constantly for constipation
and at times my feet would swell un
til I could hardly stand. My nerves
were shattered, I couldn't sleep and
bad awful headaches. I often got so
dizzy I had to sit down and was so
weak I could scarcely do any of my
housework.
"Well. I read a lot about Tanlac
and decided to try it. My appeti'e
was never better and I don't think
anyone has any better digestion than
I have. The headaches, dizzy spells
and weakness have left me and, my
nerves are calm and steady so that I
sleep peacefully every night and get
up feeling fine and my housework is
not a bit of trouble."
Tanlac is sold in Plattsmouth by

had the misfortune to injure his left
foot very badly the latter part of
last wee when he jumkped from a
wall onto some hay. He struck his
foot against a stone that was con
cealed in the hay and Dr. Worth
man was obliged to put his foot in
a plaster cast. He was unable at
first to determine whether the foot
was broken or not, but after keeping
it in a cast for a few days, he will be
able to tell more about it. It may
be necessary to have an X-ray taken
of the foot. After the first day and
night he did not suffer very much
from it, and it is to be hoped that
it may not prove so serious as was
at first feared.
