Merchants National Bank of Port- Iand, Ore., Closes Its Doors. HAS DEPOSITS OF $5,000,000 Officers Declare the Institution Is Sol- vent and Expect to Resume Shortly, but Agsert They Were Unable to Meet Recent Heavy Demands. Portland, Ore, Nov. 1 .—The Mer- chants National bank of this city has suspended. The following notice was posted: “Having been unable to realize on our securities rapidly enough to meet the heavy demands lately made upon us we have been compelled to tempo- rarily suspend ~payment. Since the commencement of the holidays we have liquidated about $1,500,000 of our deposits without aid other than that granted by the Clearing House asso- clation. The association loaned us up to the limit permitted by the na- tional banking act. The bank is sol- vent. We have sought the advice of the comptroller of the currency and confidently expect to resume business within a short time.” K. Frank Watson is president and Ralph W. Hoyt is cashier of the Mer- chants National. The bank was capitalized at $250,- 000 and on the last call of the comp- troller of the currency the report showed deposits of $5,216,052. SWAMPED WITH WORK. Brokerage Houses Unable to Handle Their Business. New York, Nov. 1 .—Brokerage houses here which make a specialty of dealing in small lots of standard industrial and railroad shares con- tinue to be swamped with work and houses with foreign connections re- port a wave of buying orders from Europe, which is -unprecedented. Probably the most striking feature of the financial situation at present is the big“scale on which this Invest- ment buying by persons with small savings is going on. 3 James L. Carter, In charge of the stock transfer department of J. P. Morgan & Co., is authority for the statement that in practically every important railroad stock listed the new stockholders who have recently invested their savings, chiefly in small lots, represent from 25 to 50 per cent of the total number of stock- holders enrolled. . Mr. Carter says that the purchases average not more than twenty or thirty shares to the individual, that they appear to be for investment rather than speculative purposes and that the orders come from all parts of the country. The transfer office of the United States Steel corporation is a week be- hind on its routine work. The Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads report an increase in the number of stockholders at the rate, since the first of the month, of 300 a day. The Rock Island road has open- ed between 500 and 600 new accounts in the last six weeks, mostly in the common stock. The number of stock- holders of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul has increased by 500 in the last two weeks. The activity in FORCED T0' SUSPEND| which has been in progress for several weeks, in which the unprecedented total of nearly $60,000,000 has been engaged abroad for import, still con. tinues. The total, which passed the $66,000,000 mark Monday, was increas- ed when the Illindls Trust and Sav- ings bank of Chicago completed ne- gotlations for the Importation of $1,000,000. This engagement makes the total to date $56,000,000. Heldelbach, Ickelheimer & Co,, also engaged another $1,000,000 in gold, An Amendment.

T, Cooper during the past year with his new preparation has ex- ceeded anything of the kind ever be- fore witnessed in most of the leading cities where the young man has intro- duced the medicine. Cooper has a novel theory. He believes that the hu- man stomach is directly responsible for most disease. To quote his own words from an interview upon his ar- rival in an eastern city: “The average man or woman cannot be sick if the stomach is working properly. To be sure, there are diseases of a virulent nature, such as cancer, tuberculosis, diabetes, etc.,, which are organic, and are not traceable to the stomach, but even fevers can, in nine cases out of ten, be traced to something taken into) the stomach. All of this half-sick, nervous exhaustion:' that is now so common, is caused by the stomachic conditions, and it is because my rem- edy will and does regulate the stom- ach that I am meeting with such suc- cess, . “To sum the matter up—a sound di- NEW THEORY Human Life Seems Centered In Stomach. All Else Is Secondary. gestive apparatus that is doing its full duty, getting every particle of vitality out of all food by transferring it to the bowels in a perfectly digested state— this above all else brings health.” Mr, A, C. Brock, chef of the Brock Restaurant, Market District, Boston, Mass., who is a staunch believer in Mr. Cooper’s theory and medicine, has this to say: “I had chrenic indigestion for over three years. I suffered terribly, and lost about thirty pounds. I was a physical wreck when I started this Cooper medicine, 2 month or so ago. Today I am as well as I ever was in my life. . I am no longer nervous, my food does not distress me in the least, and I have a splendid appetite. I am gainicg flesh very rapidly—in fact, at the rate of a pound a day. I would not belicve any medicine on earth could have done for me what this has done. It is'a remarkable preparation and Mr. Cooper deserves all his suc- cess.” ‘We recommend the Cooper prepara- tions as being remarkable medicines. «E. N.

Georgetown, Ky, Nov. 13.—When the case of Caleb Powers, charged with the murder of Governor Goebel, was called it wag found that the im- portent defense Witnesses Were pres- ent and Commonwealth Attorney Frapklin promptly answered ready. CALEB POWERS. As soon as this announcement was made Major W. C. Owens, chief coun- sel for Powers, arose and gaid: “Before the defense answers ready i we desire to offer as a plea of abate- ment the pardon given the defendant by Governor W. 8. Taylor, after the commission of the-crime.” This is the same pardon that has been produced at all the former trials and which the courts have passed on .and held invalid. Judge Morris overruled the motion of the defense to file the plea and pardon after a vigorous.objection by i the prosecution, the court holding | that the validity of the pardon was not within the jurisdiction of the court, as the court of appeals had al- ready passed on-that phase of the question.
