Not only that, but he mended the draftineg of additional requirements to such mat ters, and insisted inasmuch as the law wa board must take such action as would protect the Interests of the state. He further urged that no bank should lowed to have more than £100,000 of the state funds on deposit at one time and counseled immediate action along that line. This was his position before the failure and he still adheres to it. The plan of some of the leading bankers of the state, limiting the amount of state de- posits in a bank to 30 per cent of its capital stock, mects with his approval, and he will send a special message to the legislature urging the amendment of the law in this particular. This plan will put all banks on an cqual foorng and at the same tume make provision against the laxity of the law. A > Will Be Recelver, There is ap interesting little contest going on over the appointment of a receiver to take charge of the affairs and business of the de funct Capital National bank. 1t has brought on a fight between the two syndicates of local bankers, both of which have the same object in view, as it is thought that it beto thew respective interests friend named for tne place, as he would have an opportunity to divert a cons erable portion of the busines the bankrupt concern to such a8 ho might name. The candidates who have developed are C. H. Boggs, Kent Hay- den und E. E. Brown. The first two named ropresent the syndicate headed by the First National banlk, while Brown is the prefers eandidato of the American Exchange Na- tional crowd. The reciprocity feature of the contest is shown by the fact that Boggs' can didacy is being managed by ex-Judge Allen W. Field, whose congressional fight during tho late campaign was managed by M.

A little sensation was created today, when Miiton M.

He swas tinally taken in charge by some of his friends, and the gun was taken away from him, He was temporarily insane, but recov. ered after being restrained for o time. ‘Thero are countless rumors of coming ar rests and suits in connection with the bank failure.

Al though the bank has been prac for the past three months, wsurer Hill placed in its keeping nearly 00,000, or an amount equal to itsentive paid up capital stock. How he could have been induced to entrust so large a block of state funds with such an institution is only to be accounted for on the assumption that was receiving a higher rate of interest_from the bank in_question than other banks would pay.

The story leaked out through some of the inti- mate friends of the interested parties and there has been a visible widening in the breach that separates the Thurston and Paddock men arged to the Little Papplo. Anent this state of affaus, it may be said that some of the inside history of the with- drawal of Thurston is beginning to see the light of aay in the Capital City. It is stated that not only was Thurston forced oft the track, but that the squeczing process was put in aperation through Mujor Joseph W. Paddock, who is of the government directors of the Union Pacific and a_cousin of the senatorial didate for re-election. Several prominent Omaha democrats ulso figured in the deal and assisted in bringing pressure to bear on the Union Pacific dir tory to get Paddock’s most formidable ri out of the way Copsidering Amendments, The senate committee on amenduments held its first meeting this_af ternoon.

A cage full of miners had been lowered half way down the shaft when the ground trembled, a loud rumbling report was heard and the cable gave suci a lurch that the lowering machinery broke. Air and dust, and the sound of crashing timbers and the cries of the men in the cage gave warn- ing to those above of the extent of the cat- astrophe, Help was summoned, and the shaft repaired, after a delay of h the cage was raised.

An hour later the superintendent mine and five miners from the night shift went down in the cage. ¥y were unable to go more than 100 yards from the shaft into the gallery, but they found fourteen dead bodies. Of the fifty men who were waiting for the cage, ten had been killed and forty had been partinlly crushed by fall ing timbers or half suffocated by the foul air. A short distance from the shaft the superintendent found four bodies which had been crushed beyond recognition by a falling m. he bodies and the injured were taken to top, where the whole mining settlement gathered to watch the work of rescue. The men who had been brought up from the bottom said that a few minutes after the explosions they had heard cries and groans from the mouth of the gallery about 300 yards from the shaft- There was heayv timber work at this place und they believed that the men in this gallery had been im- prisoned by the falling beams. They believed that some forty men had been at work there. Shortly before the cage came down they said the cries ceased, Another rescue party went down at once, and after three of them had been carried baclk to the shaft unconscious, penctrated to the entrance of the gallery. The entrance was _completely blocked by the wrecked woodwork. The rescue party could see sev- caal dead bodies on the other side of the timbers, but were unable to get at them, and returned to the top empty-handed. No Hope for the Imprisoned Men. It is believed that all the men in the gal- lery were suffocated or killed by the shock of the explosion. Twelve miners, who worked in the extreme interior of the mine, and who had not started for the shaft so soon as their companions, are also believed to be dead. Despite the apparent hopelessness of the situation a rescue party is still in the mine and thousands have gathered atthe pit's mouth, Whea the extent of the disaster began to become evident the women of the dead men's families attempted to mob the mine officials, accusing them of carelessn in _the munagement of the mine and of in- difference as to the fate of their husbands and brothers below. The mine officials sent to Dux fer police, and three companies of soldiers are camped in the fields around the mouth tonight.

Change In the Affuirs of the Whisky Trast Afe fect the Stock’s Pri New Youx, Jan. 24, —~There was quitea little flurry in the Stock-exchange yesterday over the announcement that the pool which has been manipulating the stockof the Distilling and Cattlefeeding company had decided to wind up its affairs and dissolve the pool. In consequence of the announcement somethin like 200,000 shares of stock were unloaded on the market, knocking the price down five points. It closed, however, within two | points of th opening figure, 30,50, |~ Fora timeall sorts of rumors were cur- veut. Chief among them was one to the feet that the orvganization intended to issue new stock Apropos of this, Mr, ireenhut, president of the Distilling and Cattlefeeding company, said tonight: *“The rumor that we are going to issue new stock is absolutely fa No such issue has even been contemplated, [t is absurd. That would necessitate calling a meeting, and no such meeting has been called, he pool has been dissolved though, that isa fact. 1t was decided upon at a meeting held Sunday, As a result allthe stock left in the pool at the time has either been sold or is now in the hands of members who are able to carry it, and who would not think of selling it at the present ridiculously low price," Concerning the cnuses that led to the sudden change of policy among those in_the pool Mr. Greenhut had little to suy. *“There was dissatisfaction,” was the way he pub it, and refused to be more explicit Concerning the effect of the dissolution of the pool, he said: “I think that the pool has done more injury than benefit to the stock, and thatit would, without any manipu- lation, have reached as high a figure as it has at any time during the past few months, | The stock is undoubtedly worth consideras | bly more than its present market price, on {ts morits, as the compuny was mnever. in better financial condition or had greater carning power than at present.
