Nebraska Stands Up.
The Journal has, time and again, re
ferred to the solidity of our home banks
in the crisis through which we have been
passing, as an evidence of not only con
tinued good management on the part of
bank officials, but also of the entire con
fidence of depositors and people gener
ally. Now comes the Lincoln Call
with a statement showing how Nebraska
generally has stood the pressure. It
speaks volumes for the state:
In all the turmoil and panicky times
of the past three months there is scarce
ly a state in the union that has made
such an exhibit of solid financial strength
as Nebraska. The banks in this state
have stood up remarkably and today
show a strength and solidity that other
states can look upon with surprise and
admiration. On the first of January
last there were 522 banks in Nebraska,
operating under the state banking law.
Of these 522 banks, through all the
serious times to nnanciai lnsuiuuuuo
that have followed from that day to tnis,
onlv sixteen of them have suspended,
and of the sixteen that have suspended,
only four of them have proven to be in
solvent while the rest are paying out
dollar for dollar. This is a record on
the part of state banks that is fairly up
to the record of any year and shows to
the world that Nebraska is one of the
safest states in the Union in its local
banking business. Coupled with this
showing of state banks the record of na
tional banks in Nebraska is equally
flattering. In the entire state, since the
first of January, there have been only
five failures of National banks. Those
are the Capital National of Lincoln, the
American National of Omaha, the Ash
land National bank, the first National of
Ponca and the Nebraska National, of
Beatrice. Of these five banks, two of
them, the Capital National of Lincoln
and the First National of Ponca, were
looted and ruined by officials of the
banks, entirely outside the condition of
the timeB and tne nnanciai stringency.
Of the other three, the American Nation
al of Omaha and the Ashland National
are preparing to resume business, while
the Nebraska National of Beatrice is
said to have ample assetB to meet liabili
ties when such are collected. This is
the Nebraska record of the hardest year
for financial institutions in the last
quarter of a century. The Call submits
it to the public at large as a record not
surpassed by any state in the Union.
Incrcaxiug Their Circulation.
It seems that no considerable number
of people have been calculating upon
the national banks relieving the strin
gency of money matters, but the report
of the treasury department, issued the
first of the month, indicated that in July
the circulation of the national banks
was increased over $5,000,000. Comp
troller Eckels was asked the significance
ot the increase. "It is due," he said, "in
a large part to the low price of govern
ment bonds, which makes the issue of
currency, even when restricted to 90 per
cent of the par value of bonds deposited
to secure it, a profitable venture for the
banks. Four per cents are now quoted
at $1.08, which is quite a fall from the
maximum figure which they have at
tained. Then the stringency of the
money market makes it desirable that
the circulating medium shall be in
creased as much as possible national
bank notes, secured by government
bonds are a very satisfactory currency.
"In the quarter ended July 31 the net
increase of the national bank note cir
culation was something over $8,000,000,
and it will be increased this month at
least that amount, in my opinion. The
department sent out over $500,000 today
and received applications from three
New York banks for the issue of $900,
000 to each of them, $1,000,000 being de
posited with each of the applications."
In this period of depression when a
good many older periodicals have been
hard beset, it is interesting to learn that
the Review of Reviews, although com
paratively so young, has won a position
as impiegnable as any other periodical
that could be named in the United
States, and that its circulation is not
only solidly maintained, but steadily in
creasing through the intrinsic merits of
the periodical. The Review has become
a necessity to a large constituency; and
whereas in times of financial depression
many people give up their luxuries,
there is always a steady market for the
plain necessaries. Fortunately for the
Review of Reviews, its readers consider
it as a prime requisite rather than a
casual luxury, and so its editions are
not curtailed by the influence of current
financial disasters.
ADDITIOSAL LOCAL.
Died.
Friday, 3 a. m., at the residence of
Henry Abts, Anton Miller, aged 84
years.
He leaves his children, Frank Miller
of Bellwood and Mrs. Augustus Schu

He was a native of Austria and came
to America three years ago. He died a

last breath as though going to sleep.
The funeral took place from the Cath

There is not a glass factory in opera

Hon. A. J. Bauocr delivered an ad
dress Thursday at the lord mayor's
residence, London, to a large attendance
of legislators and financiers in which he
said that "a gold standard could never
satisfy the commercial wants, the double
standard alone would prevent dangerous
oscillations in trade. He deprecated
isolated action by single governments,
recommended on international agree
ment fixing a ratio between gold and
silver." Just so, but the Uuited States
should not pin its action on even the
probabilities of what some future con
tention of nations may agree upon.
Sensible independents in Nebraska
admitted, says the York Times, that
their party could not elect Ub candidate
for president last fall. They said they
wanted to defeat the republican party,
however, and the republican party was
defeated. The result is evident to all.
Are you pleased with the job? You old
soldiers who fought bravely for the un
ion but thought the republican party
was not good enough for you. You saw
your brave comrades fall, bleeding, by
your side; you saw them tortured with
the anguish of disease that ruined their
constitutions and made them invalids
for life. How do you like the idea of
having their pensions cut off or reduced
now by a young southerner, who has
learned well the lesson of the war from
rebel teachers? How do you like to see
your old crippled comrades turned out
of their jobs in the departments at
Washington, because, as the head of one
nf those departments has said, "there
are plenty of crippled southern soldiers
who need the places?" Farmers, how
do you like to see the price of wheat and
other grain lower than it was ever be
fore, simply because the home market is
destroyed by democratic threats to
break down American industry. How
do you like the financial situation now?
How do you like to have a million in
dustrious men, who would be glad to
buy your products at a fair price if they
had the money, thrown out of employ
ment? Are you pleased with these con
ditions? Do you enjoy ruin and havoc,
the demoralization of finance, the pau
perizing of labor and the destitution and
misery of tli9 poor? These are the
fruits of your victory over the republi
can party last fall. The result was in
evitable and you were warned often
enough before election, but empty
promises won your hearts and ground
less charges prejudiced your minds so
that you would not listen. The only
remedy now is to return to the repub
lican party at once and right the wrong
as rapidly as possible.
At the residence of his daughter, Mrs.
J. B. Delsman, in this city, August 2d,
J. G. Heitkemper, aged 78 years.
Mr. Heitkemper was born in Germany,
came to America, settling at Cincinnati,
in his young manhood. He was engag
ed in the manufacture of cigars about
thirty-five years. In 1882 he came to
Nebraska where he has since lived. He
leaves his aged widow, with whom he
had lived happily twenty-five years, to
mourn his departure; also his children,
George Heitkemper of Sionx City, and
Mrs. Anna Beckman of Cincinnati; and
his step children, Herman, Henry and
Gerhardt of Portland, Oregon, and An
ton and Mrs. J. B. Delsman of this city.
His departure to the Summer land
seems but the natural sequence of a life
Bpent here for the good of those he loved.
The funeral was held Thursday, Rev.
Father Pacificus preaching the sermon
and a large concourse of friends follow
ing the remains to their last resting
place in the Catholic cemetery.

Mand Mnller on a summer day
Baked the meadow, sweet with hay.
The judge, with whiskers in his hair.
Came down the road and saw her there.
"How is it Maud," 6he heard him say,
'That you are out hero raking hay?
"Where are the men, whose work it is?
Why don't they knuckle down to biz?"
"The men," she sighed, have gone to save
This bleeding country from the grave,
"To resolute and wag their jaws.
And clamor loud for better laws;
"And while they froth and froth away
The women-folks must rako the hay."
The jurist, of his sex ashamed,
Keniarked: "Well, well! I'll bo gosh-blamed!"
Ir Republican speakers in last year's

The Tribune, Olymphia, Wash., Aug.
1, announces the death, the day before,
of Francis Hoffman, a former resident of
this city. Mr. Hudson tells us that Mr.
Hoffman came here in 1864 and started
a hardware store on Seventh street, in
the building afterwards occupied by J.
P. Becker as a grocery. He was a splen
did tinner and a man of wonderful en
ergy, an untiring worker; in anything he
undertook to do, he never let up until a
finish was made. He built the first grist
mill here, equipping it with the best of
machinery then to be had. He had
quite an extensive warehouse and place
of business on the corner of Twelfth and
North streets, which stood for many
years after he left here in 1870. He
came here from Wisconsin, where he had
been in the newspaper business. We
believe that from here he went to South
America, traveling for "a while with a
view to locating. It seems that he went
to Olympia in 1872. He was born in
Prussia in 1830, came to America when
18 engaging in the lumber business in
Michigan. It is Baid he made and lost
three fortunes, yet leaving hiB widow all
his property, about $200,000. For the
past eight years he has had by his side
two German dueling pistols, and his
wife passed all of Saturday and Sunday
nights in constant dread that he would
terminate life by his own hand. He was
constantly fingering the pistols which at
all times were loaded. For ten years he
would consult his physician once a
month, asking if he could live a month
longer. The Seattle Intelligencer (a
copy of which is sent us by John Schram)
says that his great trouble was hernia,
with another complication. He had
survived three surgical operations, but
died three hours after the fourth.
He was so perfect in his business
methods that everything was closed up
to the last moment. He was a model of
system and method, which was his rule
of life, and was noted for his exacting
precision, his simplicity, inexorable will,
determined, unyielding and immovable
spirit. He gave his body to his physi
cian 'It is my special wish and request
that a complete and thorough examina
tion be made of my remains, that the
knowledge to be obtained thereby may
in the future aid in the benefit and re?
lief of humanity." On his death bed he
prided himself on never having owed a
dollar. Such is a portion of the record
of one of the most remarkable characters
that ever lived in this city.
