LINCOLN , Aug. 18. [ Special to Tna BKE. ]
There la n fair prospect that n number of
law suits Will grow out of the failure of the
Nebraska Savings bank. The first of what
Is likely to bo a series of nulls was filed In
the district court this forenoon and Is
brought by Van Valkcnburg & Son of this
city , li H. Tingloy , cashier of the broken
bank , and Receiver Morroll being the do-
fondants. The plaintiffs nllego that on No
vember 23 , 18' 3 , Tingley was indebted to
them In the sum of $ ' .H5. In order to settle
this Indebtedness ho induced them to
purchase from him forty-throe shares of
the bank's stock , representing to them
that it was rnluablo stock , ns the
biinlt wai in a prosperous condition. But
(20 had boon paid in on each share , but the
stock was represented to bo worth at least
< 23 per share. They now allege that the
bank wai not in a prosperous condition and
that the shares of slock wcro valueless.
Being convinced of these facts they do-
cllncd to p.iv tlio assessment on their stock
last Juno when It was made by order of the
State Banking board , but tendered the
forty.three shares back to Tingloy and de
manded their money. Tingloy refused to
repurchase the stock. They now ask the
court to cancel the transfer of the stock
from Tingloy to themselves and restrain
Receiver Morroll from collecting the balance
on the assessment. They also ask Judgment
against Tingloy for $ U1U.

others to the amount of several hundred
thousand dollars , all of which is a
totnl loss. It is alleged further that the
directors stated that the capital
stock was all paid in , when as a matter of

its running expenses for several years ; that
thin fact wns well known to the directors ,
who could h.ivo suvcd the bank If they had

a very liberal response.
Investigation disclosed the fact that
many families wore actually Buffering
for the necessaries of life nnd that
hunger was staring hundreds of them in
tlio face. The sutrorors are Swedes of
recent arrival , who have been induced
to put all they earned into homos as fast
as the.v made it , leaving themselves no
provision for a long siege of idleness.
It is feared the preaent business con
ditions will not imprpvq for some time

idle will go to the wall' . This will ren
der it necessary for ever 1,000 workmen

Hankow correspondence North China
Dally News , July 7 : I have Just sent you
n telegram with the sad news of the murder
of HQV. Messrs. Wickholm and Johans
son , two Swedish missionaries belonging to
rVuchang , In an anti-foreign riot at Sungpu
on Saturday , and now in a hurried note send
ou the particulars as far as thay can bo
fathered at present.
Sungpu is a market town in the district ot
Matstuhslou , sixty miles from here , on thereat
; roat road loading to Poking. It is a place
if considerable. ) trade ; being near tlio bor
ers of Ilonan , many of the merchants of
hat province go to It instead of Hankow.
The Inhabitants , who number about 20,000 ,
are largely natives of other places , and , be-
ng strangers themselves , have nlwaysbcon
very friendly to strangers. Sungpu , indeed ,
las always had the good word of the
orolgnors who have frequently vUltod it.
A few months ago the Swedish mission
routed a native house in ono of the back
strcots , hoping in tlino to settle down and
carry on work thoro. They got on with the
icoplo remarkably well , but after a time
outidtltat certain gentry a ud bad characters
vcro Rotting up an agitation against the m.
Some of the people concerned in routing
hem the house wore seized and put in prison
at Mitsln'aml very severely boat. In con
nection with this the matter was brought
> oforo Mr. John Thyon. who Is In charge or
Swedish Interests at this port , nnd by him
represented to the Taotal , with the result
.hat the Imprisoned men wcro set free nnd
.ho Matsin magistrate was to sco to it that
there would bo no further trouble.
The next news they got , however , was to
the effect that nt a great feast and procession
on Saturday , the 1st Inst. , the foreigners
were to bo killed. This Information reached
the two murdered gentlemen who wore then
staying hero , and the consul In Hankow at
the same tlino. The consul's information
come from the Taotnl with the request that
10 , the consul , should therefore order the
nisslonarics to withdraw. This the consul ,
icing informed by the missionaries thorn-
solves that all was quiet and that they an
ticipated no danger , declined to do.
llngUmlng the Trouble.
The 1st inst. was Saturday , but the feast
began on the previous Wednesday , when
many thousands of the country people were
gathered into the town. WednesdayThurs-
lay and Friday largo numbers of people vis-1
itcd the missionaries' House , but all kept
quiet , and when Saturday morning came
they fondly hoped they hud outlived an
other false alarm. Alas , early in the day a
crowd began to assemble , evidently bent
ou mischief. They began by stoning , and then
is their courage rose , attempted to rush the
liouso. Finding it no longer tenable ,
the missionaries made their way Into the
liouso of their landlord adjoining , and saw
their own instantly looted and everything
smashed. The landlord's house uas next
attacked , so they climbed ever a back wall
and Into another house , where they found
refuge for a time in a garret. They were
found out hero also , and ultlmatoy driven
put of the garret on to the roof.
The whole forenoon had passed In the
way , and it wns now 2 o'clock , the
hour of their appearance and the end. As
soon as they were seen on the roof , a great
shout went up from the mob , and four men
armed with iron rods sprang up after them.
The missionaries , followed by those , and
rjcltod with stones and tiles from every side ,
retreated along about a score of houses when
they could get no further , so they leaped
into the road and were immediately ilia-
patched.
Tbo mob sprang on them , plorcod them
with their spiked carrying poles , pounded
them with hoes , battered in their skulls ,
stripped every rag of rlothing off them ; In
more wanton wickedness inflicted nameless
barbarities on their now dead and senseless
bodies. Our informant saw thorn lying
stark and battered In the Suncrpu street
with no one to care for them save the native
dogs.
The Taste of Itlooil.
As soon as the foreigners were killed a
rush was made to iind the natives associated
with them , most of whom , however , escaped ,
but ono was caught and very DJIdly beaten.
Ho only escaped death through being a
Sungpu mnn , and several people therefore
taking his part. When there was no moro
killing to be done the missionaries' house
was set on flro , and that and the ono adjoin
ing burned to the ground. Tlio above par
ticulars have boon gathered from ono of tlio
servants , who escaped and made his way as
fast as ho could to Hankow.
I have no time just now to comment on the
above , but I would point out that the anti-
foreign feeling created by the Chou Han prop
aganda proves to have done unspeakable
mischief in all parts of central China. It was
only by rare good fortune tliat the bicyclist ,
Mr. Lonz , escaped with his llfo from un un
provoked attack. On their lust Journey our
veteran missionary. Dr. Grifllth John , with
Dr. Gilllson , were In a similar way attacked
by country people with their hoes and pikes ,
and had a very providential escape from
death. Yet Chou Han has never yet been
punished in any way. None of the parties
concerned in the two Ichang riots wcro ever
punished , and oven the man who in the last
one was caught by the foreigners and handed
over to Justice was dismissed free and unro-
bukod. All this has but ono moaning and
can tend to but ono end.
Where Were the Authorltlei ?
But where were the Sungpu authorities ?
Although the danger to the foreigners was ,
accordlng.to themselves , so great and immi
nent , they never did anything to ward It off.
At Chlttng , only elirht 11 away , was a military
force ami- the yamon of the Iluangchowfu
sub-prefect , n great ofllclal In these parts ,
but no stops wore taken to prevent trouble.
There is a small military nfllclal located at
Sungpu , with a few soldiers , and ho turned
out , but could do nothing. The crowd at
tacked him early and drove him from the
Held.
Held.Tho first thing to bo done now is to bring
the bodies in , I hear the Ho family , in
who.so vicinity this dreadful murder was
perpetrated , have covered thorn with mats
and are taking charge of them. Thu street
people were friendly throughout. The
rioters came from certain villages from ton
to lit teen 11 away , nnd the real attacking
parties wcro hired cutthroats. A part.v
leaves tonight to bring the bodies in , I shall
Join it and on my return hope to bo able tc
send you fuller particulars.

There is no sectional fooling about
'nlno'a celery compound. It Is found Iu
housanda of homos In the north , the

party and politics.
The strong and truthful statement
nado n short time ntro by an old physl-
oian In Now York that "Palno'a celery
compound is llfo nnd health to thousands
of sickly nnd suffering women , " is fully
\nd ably borne out by results obtained
n the Lndloa' Bonovolcnt Society's
iomo , Montreal.
People in every section of the world
invo hoard ot the churitnblo and Chris-
, Ian work done by wealthy and nhllun-
.hroplc Indies of Montroiil , in the noble
nstilutlon just referred to , which has
joon In existence nearly 05 years.
A year ntro it was doomed'advisablc to
ntroduco Pulno's celery compound Into

.ho physicians In favor of the great rem
edy. Indeed , many friends , contributors
ind workers for the homo had thorn-
solves used Pnino's celery compound
and obtained astonishing benefits.
"Novor in the history of this lonp-os-
.nbllshed institution , " roads the report ,
'was anything received with greater
demonstration of joy nnd thankfulness ,
'ully n score of worthy old ladles , suf-
oring from rheumatism , nervous com-
) laints nnd ether grave troubles , so
ound a now life , energy , vim and a frcu-
dom from pain that ether irio Icincs had
failed to accomplish. The old ladles rest
hotter , sleep bettor , oat bettor , and nro
freer from pain than they have boon for
years. "
The officials ot the Montreal Lndlos *
Benevolent Society have not boon slow
to recognize the fact that the old Indies
under tholr cure derived great good.
The Indy directresses hayo oflloliUly

tluuilcs for the good dono.

Nature meant old ngo to bo halo nnd
