Kru-rmc * , Nob. , July 1. [ Special Tele

failures In Beatrice today ono a national

The following notVo appeared on the door
or the Nebraska National bank this mornIng -
Ing :
"Owing to the stringency of the money
market , this bank Is temporarily closed. By
onlcr of the board of directors. "
The American bank opened Its doors ns
usual , but shortly afterward closed them
and posted tun following notice :
"Bunk closed because of heavy with
drawal of deposits. Bank turned over to
stnto banking department und xvillnwait Its
action. "
The American this morning remained open
about nn hour , but it becoming evi
dent that n run was Imminent , tno di
rectors dri'ldcd 'to close the doors
pending the action of the Htato Banking
board. The directors nro O. E. Whlto ,
president ; Charles U Schcll , vice president ;
J. Henderson , ambler ; Ohurles H. Jackson ,
Nathan Blakely nnd John A. Forbes. The
capital Is $100,000 , considerable of the stock
being hold by eastern capitalists' . The deposits -
posits will not exceed $ 0,000 nnd the nsscsts
of the hank nro entirely sufllclont to pay all
demands.
Hlttmtlnn Not AliirmliiR.
The Nebraska National bank has a capital
of $100,000 nnd the directors nro John Ellis ,

ley. W. Q. Boll an ! W. C. Koohle.
No run is being made 01. the other hanks.
Five hundred thousand dollars In cash was
received by them yesterday.
U has been known for several days that
the Nebraska National would be obliged
to close. Yesterday morning thcro was not
BUfllrlcnt cash on hand to warrant opening
the doors , but nt the request of the other
banks they did so and before 3 o'clock were
obliged to refuse payment of check for
want of funds , although no notice of the
failure was given until this morning. Da-
yiosltors nro , however , not In the least
nlarmcu either In the case of the Nebraska
National or the American bank , us to ulti
mately' being paid the full amount of their
deposits. '
A slight run was commenced on the Gor
wan iMUlonal this morning , but It soon be
uame evident that It was prepared tc
l > ay all demands , nnd by 11 o'clock no unus.
unl excitement was noticeable. The Beat
rice National and First National banks urc
known to bo perfectly sound , ready nnd wil
ling to pay in full each deposit , but no unus
ual demands have been mndo on them.
Opinion of the Kxnminor.
Bank Examiner Morris gives it ns hi ;
opinion that the American bank will not
only pay every dollar In full , but will , lnsld (
of thirty days , bo able to resume business
The amount of money on deposit'when the
bank closed was $02,000. The assets an
$1 J,000 to say nothing of the individual lia
bllltlos of the stockholdersmany of wh6m an
worth SaW.OOO. Such Is the confidence of , tin
depositors that many offers of UO per con
were refused this afternoon. The run was
caused by the closing of the Nobraski
'National and the suspension to the fallun
of funds , which were in transit , to arrive.
No exact statement of the affairs of thi
Nebraska National bank can bo given untl
the arrival of Wr A. Latlmcr , bank exam

CITY TA.XE3.
Prompt I'aymonts on the Day They lie
cniuo DoltiHiunnt , lor 1H03.
City taxes for 1893 became delinquent yes
tc relay , and by a legislative net n pvnalty o
1 per cent n month is now attached untl
they are paid. Treasurer Bolln's office wu
thronged yesterday by people paying tholi
taxes , and Deputy Coulter found bu
few idle moments on his bauds
Nearly 50,000 was passed ever th
counter , swelling the total rocolpt
of the 1803 tax to about $125,000. This sun
appears very small in face of the tola
amount of $000,000. , It is a fact that a ma
jorlty of the property owners fall to pa ;
their taxes boforc the day of delinquency
nnd Invariably they got caught for the pen
alty. In this respect this year is no worsi
than former ones , und the receipts so far ar
in excess of those of last your.
Owing to the oxlatlnir stringency in mono ,
matters thcro is a movement on foot to giv'
the pcoplo relief in the matter of paylnj
taxes und escaping the penalty. Thu chai
tor provides that taxes become dolliiquon
July 1 , and that the penalty of 1 per cent-
month shall bo collected for non-puj
nient at that tlmo. With a charto
provision existing to that effect the flnanc
committee finds that the council has not th
power to extend the date of delinquency a
requested by the Commercial club und wl
BO roiKirt. A majority of the members c
the council wore favorable to the propos
tlon if it could bo legally uono and nro disai
pointed because the request cannot t
granted.
However , the finance committee has bee
instruclod to confer with the city treasure
upon another proposition , and sometliln
may oomo of it. Whatever is done will I
by mutual agreement , and -not made a roi
ord. A llttlo investigation reveals the fai
that by a bit of strategy the charter pr
vision can bu overcome. The tax lists can I
made out , dated back and held for thirty i
sixty days to be taken up at that tlmo. 1
this way the penalty can bo escape
The books of the treasurer will she
that the lists were called for pr
vlous to the 1st of July , and that owing I
u rush they could not bo mudo up an
sooner. If a property owner calls for h
Hat before the 1st ho eacaiioa the poiialt
uud pays his taxes the diiy thu trcasun
says they will be in readiness , Hollof wi
thus bo afforded thu property owner , who ;
finances are not flush id thcso trying time
and at the same tlmo there will bo no direi
violation of the laws of the oommonwoalt !
The power to make such an arrangomoi
has been loft entirely in the hands of tli
tluancu committee and Treasurer Bollu at
they will Immediately got together.

creditors several days ngo , nnd the blinds
have been drawn ever slnco until yesterday ,
when ho reopened , n.fricn < \ having bid in
the stock nnd placed htm in uhai-go.
Mr. Berry , of the llrnt of Pers'ons & Berry ,
it seems is the ngont for the building , nnd
had closed a cojitract to lo.iso tbo place to
another firm , lie strolled into the store
yesterday ana seemed surprised nt seeing
his old tenant nt the helm again. A spirited
conversation took place between thorn.
Hcymnn tendered him pay for the July rent
nnd he refused to accept , tolllnir Hoy-
man that ho would have to vacate. He.vman
refused to entertain any such proposi
tion , whereupon It Is claimed Berry
called him a nnmo that stuck In the
craw of JMOSO Block , who is Hcyman's
brother-in-law. The epithet had barely es
caped Berry's lips when Block landed n
shoulder stroke on Berry's proboscis. Berry
was staggered for a second , but in an in
stant there was an all around scramble.
which was participated In by several
parties. The air was filled with nrms , legs
nnd saucy literature , but the melee was
stopped before any real good punching was
done. Mr. Berry's shirt sleeves looked ns
though they had. boon "run through a corn-
shelter , mm one young man , whoso name
was not learned , was thrown through space
for several foot. Citizens were called In
and the fracas ended without : my arrests
being mndo. Mr. Ilcyman. it is said , de
posited tbo rent for July in the bank to the
credit of Mr. Berry and will continue to do
business at the old stand for a few more
days at least. _

The collecting of the city dog tax hns
proven a great nuisance In South Omaha.
John Sniveloy is the man who has the matter
in charge and together with his deputies bo
has succeeded in collecting a good percent
age of the tax already. It has not boon nn
easy job by any means. Ho has caused the
arrest of n dozen or more people and has
been chasca with kettles of hot water nnd
threatened In strong terms. A few days ago
ho caused the arrest of Jim Sweeney for not
taking out a dog tax. Sweeney had paid
his tax to City Treasurer Hector and when
this fact was shown up m court the case was
dismissed. Sniveloy felt grieved nt his defeat -
feat nnd yesterday evening caught Sweeney's
dog and placed it in the pound. Sweeney
got an order from the city attorney tt > re
lease the dog , but Chief Beckett told Snlvo
loy not to recognize any orders that did not
come from the mayor. As a consequence
Sweeney had to got his $2 back from Houtor
nud pay it to Sniveloy in person. Now
Suivoley smiles. _

About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the

twenty minutes there was commotion ontho
streets all over the city. The heavens had
every appearance of an approaching cyclone

came moro apparent. People who were fortunate -
tunato enough to have a cave got into
It , whllo others closed their doors and
windows and waited Impatiently for the
worst. The storm came , but not in the form
of n cyclone. The wind blow hard nnd the
rain poured down in torrents for almost an

nnd debris. A few collars were filled , but
the damage was not extensive in any of the
places. Tno motor cars were stopped for a
