Banking Act is Constitutional. Some weeks ago the constitutionality of the stato banking act was attacked by Messrs. istabrook and Webster of Omaha, attorneys for a Chicago firm of commission merchants. The case arose out of the old case krown as the state against the kix- change baok of Milligan. This bank had been closed by the state backing board and & receiver appointed by the supreme court. After the business of the bank had been wound up the Chicago house referred to ap- peared with a claim for §5,000 that had not before been heard of. Mossrs. Estabrook and Webster attacked the constitutionality of the banking act, alleging that it cou ferred orlginal jurisdiction upon the supreme court in cases not contemplated by the constitu- tion. In an stitutional, by Judge Post, declares: “The purpose tho act, viz, to protect depositors and in sure solvent banking institutions is not only within the constitutional powers of the legis- lature. but is certainly a judicious exercise of such power. The levisiaturo has by this act not only prescribed the conditions upon which any ‘corporation, firm or individual may engage in business of banking, but has of its provided that in cases of a violation provisions by a failure to comply with the conditions or terms imposed the state may 1nterfere by means of the agencies provided oy law in ordec to protect those interested and to provent a diversion of funds from the purpose to which they should be apbliod. hother the application for receiver is ad- dressed to this court or to the district court It is an exercise of the effect is the same. the sovereign power of the state for purpose and in a manner plamnly proviaed by law.” Walting for the Mandate, A great doal of commont has been engen- dered by the alleged fuiluro of the mandato in tho Boyd-Thayer case to reach tho clork of the Nebraska supreme court and the srionds of General Thuyer are freoly assert- ing that it is bcing withbeld by Governor Itis known that the mandato was delivered to Governor Boyd and his friends laugh at the idoa that the attorneys have any ulterior motive in Boyd’s attornoys for siister purposes.

Up to midnight last night the maximum velocity of wina re corded at the United States weather bnreau ofMce was forty-two miles per hour. Ever sinco the gale commenced the ayerage veloc- ity per hour had been thirty-six miles. Woile the wind has whistlea around the cormers at a pretty lively gait tho present gale s hardly to be compared with others which Omaha has experienced in tho past. In May of 1873 the wind blew at the rate of fifty miles an hour from the south, and in November of the same year tho signal service instruments registered fifty-one miles por hour. During a storm in June, 1875, a record of sixty miles was made, aud the same thing occurred in June, 188). A Dblizzard about this time in March, 1880, sent the wind whistling down the Missouri valley at the rate of fifty-two miles in sixty minutes. A heavy northwest storm in June, 1854, caused the signal sorvico anemometer to re- cord a velocity of fifty-six miles an hour, In Fobruary, 158%, Omuha was visited by & hurricane which blew down tho walls of the old Max Meyer building at the corner of Ileventh aud Farnam streets, causing a con- sideruble loss of life, During this gale the north wina blew at tho rate of forty nine miles an hour. At 7 o'clock last night the wind was blow- ing through the streets of Sioux City at the rate ot forty-cight miles. The maximum velocity reported was tifty-six wilos, Yank ton, 8. D., reported tweuty-eight miles at 7 p. m. with & maximum of forty-eight miles. Some of Its Freaks, All day yesterday pedestriaus were kept dodging $igns and fragments of roof which had beon loosened by the wind and were blown about the stroets. A bigh cnimney at the new St. Josoph's hospitul was blown down aud crasned through the siate roof, doing consideravlo damage. Several of the orpaments on tho turrets of Trinity cathodral were torn loose and fell to the ground. The tin Cornice on the building occupied by Hospo on Douglas street was looseued by tho gale and toreatened to fall any moment. In order to avoid accidents a rope was strotched across the sidewalk, thus compelling bodestrians to walk in the street while passing the dangerous locality. Owing to the dificulty of keeping up stonm in such a gale the cable cars were run very slowly all day yesterday and last night. ''né motors suffered to some extont, and the motormen found it impossible to run as fast as usual, A trolley wire on the_ Sixteentn street line at Sixtecuth and Capitol avenue broke about 7 o'clock last ulght, and fell to the street. The fact that the wire was | & live one was 'apparcnt to every- one in the vicinity, foras the deadly wire was shaken and swung by the wind a really fino pyrotechic display. was given to tne spectators free of cherge. All the cars on the line were stopped for about an hour while the damage wus beiog repaired. Chimaeys alljover town were blown down, causing move or less damage, The telephone and telegraph service was coustantly iuterferred with oy the breakiug and crossing of wires. A window in the cupola of the court house was broken by tho wind guring the afterucon and the shatiered glass fell with a crash to the bottom of the rotunda, Oue of the glass fronts at Stonehill's, one at Morse's and one at the Golden Eaglo adjoloing Stonehill's, wero blown in within u few minutes of each otner, The aamage will amount to several hundred dol- Lars. A heavy plate, 8x10 foet in size, in the front of the north store room on the ground floor of the Goodrich block at Twenty-fourth and Paul, was smashea by the falling of the awning, which was torn from its fastenings. A smalter lightin the front of the Ne- ovraska Steam laundry at Sixteonth and Howard was also wrecked. Hard on the Firemen. The firemen probably have more cause to complaiv about the storm than anybody else. Kor nearly twenty-four hours thero was trouble in the department wires. Frequently during the day and almost constantly last vight loosencd and broken wires were coming in contact with the fire linos and the big bell on top of the head- quartors bouse, s well as all the fire alarm gongs in the cily were kent ringing. 1t was useless for the men o try to sleop and 50 the majority of them sat around the stoves in their houses with their running clothes on in order to be ready at a moment’s notice in case a bona fide call wus sentin, The horses were driven noarly wild by the excitement and constaut ringiug of the bells and pawed and stamped in their stalls, anxious to be free, The drivers did the best they could to quiet the rostive animals but without success, for overy time the bell tapped the intellizent beasts would make a jump toward their pluces 1n the barness, Nearly all the wires between hero and | Chicago wero either down or in troubie and cousequently tho weather office ofticials could 1ot get any eastern roports on which 1o base the predi-tions for today. - - My wife has used Bradgorotine for head- fcho with tho best imaginablo rosalts. 1 state this withovt solicitation.

Jan. 18, 1802, To whom It May Concern; This is to_certify that I have boen a constant sufferer for many years with catarrh, asthma and ‘bronchial affec- tions of the throat, and tried all tho patent medicines and remedies I over heard of, but with no success. I treated with doctors in various parts of the country, but none of them could do me any good furthor than giving mo shor temporary relief. T suffored night an- day. and continued to grow worse not withstanding all the medicine I had taken. I had almost given up my cuse as hopeless when L wus informed by a fr ml\ of Dr. C. Gee Wo, the Chineso doctor, and advised to go and soe him in the hope of getting reliof at loast, if not a permanent cure for my trouble. I was slow in making up my mind to mako such a radical change 1n iy treatment, as [ knew a trial with the Chinese doc- tor would bring me, but I finally con - cluded to give him a trial, so I called at his office with that intention. I tound the doctor a clever, entertaining gentie- man, thoroughly postod on my condi- tion, and it took only a vory short time to convince me that he was the party [ was 80 long in search of. He told me my caso was curable, and that he could cure mo, and prepared me a special treatment to suit my condivion, and in two weeks I was so much better that T had the fullest confidence in the doctor’s ability and committed my case to his treatment. I continued to grow botior rapidly and am now entirely well. I owe my cure to Dr. C. Gee Wo, and am not ashamed to admit it. I advise all who want relief from their troubles to call on Dr. C. e Wo, and they will be cured. Kor all particulars apply or write to MARTIN L. ANDERSON, 3121 Cuming St., Cmaha, Nob DR. C.
