ent statement shows that there haa been
a healthy development all along the line

nothing extraordinary In the increase tn de
posits except what can be accounted for
by the natural development of the state.
The Increase In depositors as well as In the
total cash entrusted to the banks Is sign
that the growth has bean even and
Healthy."
The great addition to the number of
depositors is one of the most noteworthy
things about tbe report. Never before has

Search for Ralph tieorate.
Relatives and the police are searching for
Ralph D. George, whom they fear has met
with foul play. Nothing has been heard of
him since Sunday evening. September 27.
at which time he filed a telegram at the
Postal telegraph office In Lincoln to be sent
to a friend In Sioux City, stating that he
was sick and Intended to stay with a sister
In this city. He left 8loux City that Sun
day morning. It Is believed, and arrived In
Lincoln the same afternoon, going direct to
the telegraph office. Previous to this he
had written his relatives here that he In
tended to visit them during Ak-Sar-Ben,
consequently his coming here In September
cannot be explained by them. None of
them saw him and the only evidence they
have that he was here Is the telegram on
file. George Is years of age, has black
hair and brown eyes, five feet and ten
Inches in height, and weighs about 153
pounds. He waa employed on the Sioux

The report of the commute regarding the
selection of some plan for an official organ
for the state federation occasioned a re
petition of the debate on the same subject
the day before. Three recommendations
were made to publish Its own monthly or
gan; second, that a committee be appointed
to secure advertisements to Insure lis pub-
lication for the year; and third, that the
president appoint an editor of the publica
tion. As nothing definite had ben ascer
tained regarding the publishing of the
paper, the question regarding sending such
a publication through the mails arose, sev
eral of the women who have had experience
fearing trouble on this point. Its discus
sion consumed the greater part of the
morning, several authorities being pre
sented. It was finally decided that the mat
ter be referred back to the executive com
mittee and they were empowered to act
without further instruction from the house.
This closed the morning session.
