The guards are eutitled to §1 a day for the first ton davs and at the rate of $13 amonth thereafter. As there were nearly eight hundred and fifty men who were in service twelve days on an average, this item will foot up to about §0,000.

No Nebraska home will be in mourning for a member of the National guards killed in bAittle, thanks to kind Providence. But yet the leaving of home home on & moment's no- tice, the willingness to defend the border against an invasion of savage nd the conse- quent hardships of military duty in the mid of winter, demonstrates fully that the Na- tional guirds are worthy sons of the men of 1861, The officers and men of the Nebraska National guards who have taken part in this campaign should carry a badge of recognition in commemoration of theevent, and Brigadier Gepgeral L.

THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, JANUARY 20, BIG CRASH 1N KANSAS CITY, The Amerioan National Bank is Foreed to Close Its Doors, SENSATION IN BUSINESS CIRCLES. President Stimson Blames the Clear- ing House—Climax of a Week's Run—Sccrotary Blaine a Stockholder, Kaxsas Ciry, Mo, Jan. 10.—[Special Tele- gram to Tur Bre,|—The American National bank, capital #1,250,000, one of the largest in- stitutions in the city, closed its doors this morning. A run is being made on the Kan sas City savings bunk, 8 poor man's institu- tion, and great excitement prevails. No statement of the liabilities or assets can be obtained. During the early partof last week it became known to the members of the Kansas City clearing house association that the bank was in need of assistance, A meet- ing of the associution was called and o reso- lution adopted assuring the American that upon a proper showing assistance would be rendered to the amount of $1,000,000. A committee was appointed to examine the col- laterals, and Suturday they reported the paper offered not such as thé banks of the associntion would accept. This decision made the failure of the bank inevitable, and the nk examiner assumed charge of the concern. As a resuit of the failure a great deal of uncasiness has been created. The deposits of the bunk ars about §1,20 000, having fallen to that amount from #1,000,- 000 since tho first of last October. 1t is as- tained that the bank owes over 300,000 rrowed money, Gentlemen ina condition to know the condition of the other national banks of this c nid this morning they are inun vnusnally good condition and would not be materially affected by the failuve, A big run was made on the Kausas City safe doposit company on account of the Americanuational bank failure, and t institution was forced to suspend. It is the largest concern of the kind in the state and is anse excitement has been kuown iu oral - days that the in bad shape the average citi- zen had 10 idea of the crash, There was a runall day long on the Kansas y safe deposit and savings bank in the me building with the American, but it will kely tide over the trouble. There were runs on other banks, but the American has beon the only one o' go under so far. The Birmingham car works failed this morning, thus adding to the general excite- ment. Of the stock of the broken bank Secretary of State James G, Blaine beld £50,000 worth and many other prominent castorners were interested. President H. P, Stimson was closeted all day, but in theafternoon he made a state- ment in which he practically accused the clearing house with bemg responsible for the failure. He says that the clearing house met and offered the bank aid before it had asked for it, thus creating a strong fecling of distrust, In less than o week nearly 2,000,000 of the $5,000,000 deposits were withdrawn and, Saturday there was another strong demand without™ any of “the excite- ment of arun, If the other banks of the city get over the present trouble there will be good cause for thunks for the situation is st alarmin, he feeling of unrest is widespread here and itdoes not require much to put affairs on edge While the Kansas_City bank failure ocea- sioned some comment in this city, it did not cause any surprisein banking circles, Tho American National bank of Kansas City has never been regarded in a very favorablo light by the Omaha banks, ‘and from recent developments they were rather anticipating its suspension, The bank was organized about four years ago, and from_the very first Degan to antagouizo all the old and avell es. tablished institutions.

The President's Statement. Maxsas Cury, Mo, Jan, 19.—President Stillson in a public statement says: “The cause of the fuilure scems to have been the lack of confidence which has pervaded the business world for the past few months. A rumor gained currency three months ago that the bank was not in the best condition. Withdrawal of deposits followed immodi- ately, and with the growth of unfavorable reports increased to an alarming extent, On October 1 the bank’s statement showed de- posits of $4,200,00. December 10 they fell off fto 2,500,000, and Saturday night when the clearing house committee made an investigation they aggre- gaoed only £1,400,000, The cash available at that time was $100,000. The increase began with the strlngency M castern money mar- kets and when the bank found itself obliged to negotiate a loan of 300,000 in the eust it compelled to give as collateral gilt-cdged rities. When these drainsupon the bank’s resources became generally known confidence was impaired, The membersof the clearing house could mot agree ' on any plan of assistance and the bank examiner was no- tified by me, The clearing, house meeting was first called without our knowledge and other banks voluntarily offered assistance 1f needed. Unfortunately the meeting b public, causing increased rumors, whi sulted in a run Friday and Saturday, and wo applied to the clearing house for aid, but they failed to sgreo on & plan of assistance and we wero obliged to close, although in my opinion this ought never to have oceurred,as the bank has always been solvent.
