UNCOIL , Nov. 3. ( Special. ) The an
nual report of Secretary Hall of tlio State
Banking B ard has been received from thj
printers. The- report In very flattering and
Miows that the number of banks transacting
business under slate Jurisdiction at the close
of the period covered by the report was 393 ,
with a total paid-up capital of $7,532,023.70.
Of this number 311 were Incorporated batiks ,
slxty-nlno were private banks and ten were
savings banks.
The report covers the period trom Decem
ber 1 , 1S ! > 7 , to November 30 , 1898. It was
submitted to the banking department until
this morning.
"I can safely make the assertion that
never In the history of Nebraska were her
hanks In as folvcnt a condition as today , "
nro the words of Secretary Hall In opening
the report. Since the expiration of thn time
covered by the report the condition of the
banks has Improved and lu now even better
than then. The following extract Is taken
from Secretary Hall's report :
Comparisons with the report of the de
partment for the year 1S ! > 7 nhow an In-
en-axo of three in the number of Incornor-
ntoil banks , with a decrease of the paid-up

number of private banks , with n decreimo

Value ol' ASNCM lmiir < M ON.
The vuluf of the iissetri of the banks of
the state ha * Improved to a remarkable
extent f-lncc my l.ut report , under the In-
lltiencc of butter cioi , which hnvo materi
ally Increased the holdliiES of borrowers ,
thus strengthening the security of the
banks. Prudent bankers have utilized the
Improved conditions to collect or further secure -
cure Blow anil doubtful paper and , In addi
tion , have used prollt > unsparingly to ellmt-
imto from their banks this class of paper.
I can safely make the assertion that ,
never In the history of Nebraska were her
hanhH In at , solvent condition as today.
While It IP true tlmt we still have home 111-
niamiRpd banks , and probably will never be
entirely free fioni such , yet this Mate has
reason to bo justly proud of the banks un
der statfi jurisdiction , and the rapidly In-
oi easing diMiosltn show that the people are
aware of their safety U Is. however , a
lamentable fact that men , successful per
haps In some other line of business , cm-
bark In the bunking business to learn by
experience that something more than capi
tal ns expressed In money Is nece * nry to
successful banking. I know of no wny to
prevent the recurrence of this evil , and
nothing Is left to do but weed these people
out when discovered.
The banking business of Nebraska is passing
ing through u process of evolution by which
It Is rapidly approaching- true sphere ,
which is receiving deposits , "av'ng ' checks ,
loaning money and buying and wiling ex
change. The speculative banker either re
tired under the Influence of drouth nnd
panic or received ruch a wholesome lesson
that he has reformed. The plethora of reserves -
serves , so marked for the last year , has not ,
ah a rule , led the banks to forge paft les
sons and expand lo.ins by taking greater
risks than would be approved by Bound
undines * judgment. Doubtless the'clbsoness
with which HWurltlen are scanned has had
something to do with keeping the reserve
so large. This condition Is abnormal and
even now gives some evidence of passing
away.
While it Is < true , as stated before , that the
banks of the state are unusually strong , yet
the profits of the business have shrunk 10
a icmurkablo extent. Thnro arc several
ruuses which have contributed to the de
cline In hank profits during the lart few
yoaiH , nrul some of which will remain per
manently with us.
In past years the insurance agencv bus
iness nnd land loan business have been im
portant adjuncts , to the Interior banks es
pecially , and brought to them no Incon
siderable revenue , at the same time reMulr-
ing little or no Investment of capital other
than labor and energy. The mutual insur
ance company has almost ejitlrely de
stroyed the insurance business ° f Iho
banks , anil the local Investor , competing
wijh the outside Investor , has reduced the
profits derived from the land loan 1ms-
InesH until there Is but a narrow marjrln
of profit. If any , to the agent. These two
sources of nrolli are to some extent per
haps lost for all time.

ment postal note nnd the pjcprrsi tnonev I
order. It is uiele s nnd probnblv Irrational
to crlllrtse the government postal note ,
but the express money order li n competi
tion tlmt the banks should not IIP compelled
to meet. It It a llnfirniit Injustice to the
banks to peitnll H. corporation organized
for the purpose of transporting commodi
ties to assume the privilege o denllnc In
ixclmiiKO which Is clearly the nrerosatlvp
nt a bank. While the oxjiroM company Is
a nlrate in thlM Held , It owes 1H HUCCCIS
largely to the fact that tlio banks rproR-
nlzf ! its orders a * cxehnnKC. While they
do this It Is useless for thorn to nsk relief ,
for II is this fnrt more than nny other th.it
makes the express money order a conveni
ence to the peorilc.
Thr > accumulation of Idle funds lias ma
terially reduced the rates of Interest iialrt
on deposits by the banks , yet no Inconsld-
r-rablr amount of the profits of banks nro
dissipated In this wny. While I believe the
Imyment of Interest on deposits Is not a
correct principle In banking , the practice
1ms been thoroughly established In the
west nnd will require tlmo to rnullcatp It.
j Doubtless It has had much to do with odu-
pntlnc thr people of the new west to the
uses of banks , but necessity Is forclnc nn
j elimination of the practice. Payment of
, lntcrr.it on deposits Is nothing more nor
loss thnn borrowing : money , and to borrow
money merely for the purpose of liavlnr ;
the responsibility nnd risk of caring for It
would hardly seem sutllclent Inducement
tn u practical hanker , nnd vet this It what
the practice amounts to , to a large extent.
Itntcn Fn1. !
In n greater portion of the state the rates
nt which money Is loaned hns fallen per
ceptibly. This Is due to several caus > ts
which It Is unnecessary to speak of here ,
nf. the Tnlted States ns n whole Is meeting
with the same experience. There Is one
factor , however , which ! s operative In Ne
braska which Is not general to the whole
country and which la of much Interest to
the Nebraska banker. I refer to no-vailed
rnttlo paper. This has grown to be n dis
tinctive security on the market nnJ is
eagerly sought after by Investor ! * with Idle
funds. At certain reasons of the. year no
Inconsiderable amount of the funds of our
hanks are Invested In this security and due
to the demand for It low rotes prevail. The
low rnta offered on this paper has cer
tainly had Its effect on other forms , of In
vestment and added to the downward ten
dency of rates. I do not believe thill ah-
normnlly low Interest rates ar& a benefit to
the state as a whole. When rates fall be
low what the iiroducthe capacity of the
licoplu warrant commercial Inactivity pre
vails.
From the foregoing It will be seen that
new conditions confront the Nebraska
banker. He must adapt himself to the new-
order of things. To be successful nnd at
the same time ; irotect the stockholder In
his rights to n fair prollt for his Invest"
ment nnd risk an adjustment of the affairs
OI nis imtlK musi DO maur , i no exuonsc
' account must be made a matter of close
fCrutlny and study. The department does
not believe thp capable bank oillcrr In this
state is overpaid now and It will be poor
economy to attack him. The incomsttent
bank ottlelal , however , must go and with
him the supernumerary help. The useless
son of a prominent stockholder must sock
other fields to exploit. Hlgld economy along
all lines and the gradual elimination of the
practice of paying Interest on deposits only
will Insure dividends to the stockholder.
These matters adjusted and with no fur
ther special privileges granted the national
banks , giving them an undue , advantage
over banks operating under the state
ystem , and the 'banks ' of Nebraska have a
jture of promise nnd usefulness.

A Severe Cold.
"A very simple measure In the very be
ginning of a cold , " says the Baltimore , O ,
News , "is to take a hot bath until the
perspiration in established , and then wrap
the body tn two or three warm , dry blank
ets In a warm room , eo that there will bo
free perspiration for an hour. The body
should then bo rubbed and dried , and the
Individual should go to bed without any
exposure , and remain there from 12 to 3 <
hours , or until the symptoms of the coli
have entirely disappeared. " If you shouU
venture out before 'bo end of 36 hours
you would bo almost certain to contract a
worse cold and perhaps pneumonia. Wouli
it not bo bettor to take a tabiespoonfu
( four times the usual dose ) of Chamber
lain's Cough Homedy Just before going to
bed. That would effectually break up th
cold. Then you could go about your busl
ness aa usual without any fear of pneumonia
as It counteracts any tendency of a cold to
result In that dangerous disease.

abuse. There was much enthusiasm and

Gentlemen I am very pleased to acknowl
edge the very valuable curative merits of
Pe-ru-na , especially In cases of stomach
trouble and general debility. It restores
lost strength and builds up the entire system
to Its normal condition. 1 have had good
opportunity to test its value and speak from
pcirsonal experience. Several of my friends
have also used 1t and I have eo far found
that they were all well pleased with the
effects of Pe-ru-na. I can conscientiously
recommend it as a first-class medicine.
Yours very truly. MRS. ANNE NELSON.

return of the trouble 1 shall write you. I
advised one of my neighbors to take Pe-
ru-na , who alao Improved.

I pleasure It Is to have good health ! I wna
i sick for flve long years. I doctored all the

I had been so sick ,
suffered nlmo t death ,
vomiting three or
four times dally ; no
strrnftth , not able to
walk , nnd now for
one year nnd a halt I
have bcon a well
woman. People are
surprised to ace tne
so well , I tell them
that Dr. Hartman.
cured me with Pe-ru-na. My husband la R2
yearn old. He takes Pe-ru-na every days and
says "Dr. Hartman nnd Pe-ru-nn are worth
all the world to me. ' There are three or four
people hero taking Pe-ru-na for rheumatlo
troubles , and like It so much. There are a
Brent many here that Use It altogether. I
wish every poor soul would try his medi
cine. "
Mrs. J , A. Basher of Knoxvllle , Tenn. ,
writes : "It gives me much pleasure t
recommend to the public such a valuable
remedy as Pe-ru-na. My health was com
pletely broken down , and had been for al
most a year. I could not rest day or night ,
but wittered untold misery. I tried remedy
after remedy , but found no relief until Pe-
ru-na was recommended to me by n friend.
I have taken one and one-half bottles and
am today well nnd hearty. 1 shall always
pralso Pc-ru-na , for I feel It saved my llfp.
My family has received such benefits from
the use of Pc-ru-na.that we consider H the
best medicine on earth , and we are seldom
without It in the house. "
Good blood Is the result of good food.
well digested. Bad food , evn though It
be well digested , cannot make good blood.
Good food must be well digested to raako
good blood. Therefore , diseased nerves are
traceable directly to poor digestion and poor
digestion lo directly traceable to catarrh.
With the slightest catarrh of the stomach
no one can have good digestion.
Very few of the many women who have ca
tarrh of the stomach suspect what their real
trouble Is. They know they belch after
meals , have fiour stomach , a sensation of
weight or heaviness , a fullness , Irregular
appetite , drowsiness , gnawing , empty sensa
tions , occasional pain they all know this ,
but they do not know that their trouble Js
catarrh of the stomach. If they did they
would take Pe-ru-nn.
Pe-ru-na cures catarrh wherever located.
As soon as Pe-ru-na removes catarrh from
the stomach the digestion becomes good , ap
petite regular , nerves strong and trouble
vanishes. Po-ru-nu strengthens weak
nerves , not by temporarily stimulating them ,
but by removing the cause of weak nerves
poor digestion. This is the only cure that
lasts. Hemove the cause. Nature will do
the rest. Pe-ru-na removes the ciiuae.
