Juniors Play Tricks
Upon the Graduates
GRAND ISLAND, Neb., June (Spe
cial.) The graduating exercises of the
high school were disturbed last evening
by the Junior class In a demonstration
of the usual class rivalry that went a
little beyond the usual bounds and led
to the arrest of Ray Menck and a search
for several others. When in the middle
of the program the Junior yell broke
forth. It , was apparently a signal for
action from different parts of the' house.
From the fly-loft ' there came down a
fine snow of white confetti, falling for
fully two minutes. From the gallery
thero came a shower of paper ribbon.
thrown, into' tho .audience below and to
ward the stage.
The demonstration was taken good
naturedly until a heavy thud told of
cabbage thrown from the gallery to the
stage. 'The school authorities then called
the police, Menck was, however, re
leased several hours later and no charge
was preferred. Officer Grant Hadlock
made the arrest on the highest portion of
the opera house roof. One of the grad
uates Immediately thereafter took up the
war, prefacing his essay with the re
mark that the juniors always had been
troublesome, but It had given the seniors
no concern until it was evident, looking
at the cabbage, that their rivals were
beginning to lose their heads. The class
numbered forty-four.

Report on Sutton Institution.
WB0N0 ENTRIES MADE IN BOOKS
Affidavit Tiled In Connection vrlth
Ilc.port Drclnrrn thnt Affnlrs of
Flrnt National Hare nrrn
Very Much Ttrlstcd.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Neb., June (Speclal.)-A
new turn In affairs was shown today In
the failure of tho First National bank of
Sutton when Expert Accountant K E.
Wettllng, who has been employed to make
an accounting of the affairs of the failed
bank, filed In federal court a statement
which showed that Instead of Thomas 11.
Matters being Indebted to tho bank, tho
bank Instead owed Matters sums In the
aggregate of moro than $20,00).
The affidavit filed In connection with
tho findings of the accountant shows that
the books of tho bank were Improperly
and fraudulently kept as faras the Mat
ters account was concerned and that by
going Into a very deep Investigation of
the affairs of the bank only can tli true
condition bo found.
In addition to the affidavit of Mr.
Wettllng was another fro m Superintend
ent of Collections G. 1L Johnson of the
Nebraska Telephone company, which
shows In effect that no phone calls were
registered from Mr. Matters to President
Luebbon of tho failed bank on Septem
ber 10 or 11, 1913, when the latter alleged
that Mattesr called him up and eported
the deposit of $2,600 In the Merchants Na
tional bank of Omaha to the credit ot
the Sutton bank.
Wettllna'a Affidavit.
The affidavit of Mr. Wettllng Is about
as follows:
Affiant further states that the examlna
tlon, as far as It has progressed, leads
him to a knowledge of tho fact that tho
bank's books, so far as they pertain to
tho Matters account, wero not correctly
or accurately kept and that any credits
due Mr. Ma' ,ers were entirely omitted
from the account and that these aggre
gated many thousands of dollars during
tho nerlod under consideration. Also,
aftlant says that a large number of
charges were entered Into Matters' ac
count Improperly and fraudulently and
that these aggregate many thousands of
flnlb.ru. The ahowlnit transmitted to the
affiant and purporting to be an exact
copy of the Matters account showed over
drafts of $490.00, when In fact a correction
of the erroneous charges and prffper
crediting of tho Items omitted disclosed
a large balance In favor ot Thomas 11.
Matters.

Good News for Sufferers From
Kidney Diseases
The kidneys from their delicate non
structlon and the filtering work required
of them, are more susceptible to disease
than any other organ in the wonderful
machinery of the human body. The most
deplorable feature of kidney disease con
sists in Its subtle and delusive character,
and so Insidious are Its ravages that
many victims do not even suspect its rx
Istence until the advanced stages have
been reached. Few people, after reach
ing the period of maturity, are in posses
sion ot absolutely healthy kidneys; It
follows that the greatest care and vigi
lance must be exercised to keep these
organs free from the dangers that con
stantly beset them.
Since the discovery of Warner's Safe
Kidney and Liver Remedy about 37 years
ago, many sufferers from kidney diseases
have been benefited by its healing proper
