Yesterday morning Cour- sey went home. Ho complained of being very sick, but at first his wife did not real- ize that there was anything serious about the case. He grew so muck worse, how- ever, that Dr. Ernhout of South Omaha, the family physician was sent for. This wus just before noon. The doctor prescribed for him and said he would return again in the ovening. He did so about 4 o'clock and found Coursey in a dying condition. Inside of an hour was dead. Symptoms of Poisoning. Dr. Ernhout is positive that the man died of arsenic poisoning and will hokla post mortem examination this mornini. Just where or how the man was poisoned is not known.

As soon as the rush began President John Rush and Cashier Dexter L.

The run on this bank continued up to the above hour and while the officers were tendered a loan of 000 they concluded to protect themselves by giving the depositors notice. This bank paid out over 211,000 1 small sums and Mr. Taylor said they still 1d besides $100,- 000 worth of good securities.

Thecrowd about the doors was composed largely of curious ones, the same as hung around the other bank or drifted from one place to another to see what was going o dent Metz smoked complacently and Fowler remuarked that if the 157 kholders of the bank, with a personal liability above the assets of the institution of 2000.000. and some of them worth from £1,000,000 to $2,000,000 each, did not feel alirmed, he saw no reason why anyboay else should be encouraging perspiration on a day like this. The line in front of the paying teller's window increased two or three times during the afternoon, but prob- ably at no time were there more than twenty peoble in line, while from all apbearances, the money was going in at tho window of the recoiving toller nearly as fast as 1t was com- ing out of the other.

Realizing the hardship that might be, imposed upon our depositors if we should take advantage of the sixty-day notice law, we have been and are very loath to take advantage of it. We would rather suffer the inconvenience and annoyance of a run than o take advantago of the law, which was made for the pro- tection of savings banks,in just such emer- gencies as this. The people of Omaha need have no fear with regard to the security or stability of any of the old estab- lished “banks, whether operated under the state or national law. I am of tho opinion that when they realiz that the no foundation in good sens this excitement and runon the banks that it will speedily cease, Ihave no question but that the depositcrs who have money in both the McCague Savings bank and the American National will ultimately get every cent of their money.

Millard of the Omaha National bank said: ‘1 am convinced that the financial institu- of Omaha are safe and solid. We have cellent list of savings banks, and if I had $25,000 or 50,000 in the Omaha Savings bank I would not feel a bit alarmed about it, for this is one of our most solid institutions. There is not the shightest cause for alarm. Collections are good and all the mercantile f aro cnjoving a season of prosperity This flurry will not last another day, for as s00n as people begin to think a feeling of con- fidence and security will prevail. The fa ure of the MeCague Savings bank started a run on all the other savings banks, and whilo some of them were probably not in shape to pay off all their depositors, they could do so ina few days. You may say that I think the financial prospects in Omaha are excel- lent, in fact, above those of mostof the other cities, The people who drew out their money during today's excitement will be looking for a place to put it tomorrow. A bank failure is such an uncommon oceurrence in t those or last evening and today ted the people 7 Yates of the Nebraska National bank said: “The financial situation in Omaha is good. Our merchants and jobbers are doing a good business and the com- mercial banks are all strong. 1 believe there will bo no further trouble in_the national banks and think the savings banks can all pull through. It is unrcasonable to_expect that the savings banks can pay all their de- positors on demand, owing to the nature of their securities. First-class mortgages are good security, but they don’t realize on de- mand. There appears to be no further cause for alarm among depositors.” aggorated Rumors to Blame, B. B.Wood of the Merchants National, said: “This financial flurry is not as bad as has been anticipated by the Omaha bankers. I regrot this run on oucof the best banks (the Omaha Savings) wehaye, but there is no doubt that they will he abje to prompily meet all demands. Because it had the largest line of depositors the Omaha Savings bank had to stand the brant of this run, but they have ample resources and there is no danger of any kind of axun ¢rippling them. All their depositors will get thewr money when they want_it, for two of the leading national barks of this_city are behind them. “The failure of the McCajgue Savings bank precipitated this run_on , the savings banks. The failure of the American National was duo to & lagk of good securi: tics. The members of the Clearing Houso would have assisted th culties if they could have approved of their sccurities. The members of the Cleaving House hold a mcoting Monday evening, which lasted until after midnight, looking over these securities. After mature delibera- tion they decided that they could not assume the responsibility of tiding the ‘American National over iu its trouble. I thimk this storm has spent itself. Tt came on the people suddenly, and now that they have had time to study over the matter, they will readily see there is no real occasion for any alarm about our financial condition,” Stampedes Without Cause, President Lyman of the Commercial Na- tional bank said: “I believe that the un- called for excitement will subside with the day. Already there scems to bean easier feel T can sce no reason for the distrust continuing, and there was no call forit in the first place. The promptness with which the demunds of the aepositors were met by the savings banks has had the effect of re- assuring the people. The national banks have the fullest confidence of depositors, and there is no reason why they should not. Iam told that those who withdrew their de- posits from the savings bauks have opened accounts with the commercial banks, clearly showing that the people still have faith in banking institutions. So far as the Commercial bank is con- . we have had a very quict day, and L there has hardly been the usual number of people in the 3 A run on a bank oceurs and it is dificult many times to tell the cause. But it is sufficient to know that when it does come the people lose the power of reasoning, and_perhaps they aro not so much to blame, The distrust passcs away in a short time and confidence is again established. Ianticipate that this will be the case tomorrow in this city, and the flurry of the day will disappear.” Cashier Powell of the American Suvings bank said last night: *“There was no percaptible runon our bank today and we aid a good busines: At the close of business this afternoon we had a reserve cash balance on hand which was severdl thousand dollars larger than when we opened up in the morning,” 'm over their diffi- Cloaring House Report, The clearing house reported that the clearings amounted to over $1,600,000 and that none of the other banks were affected by the failure of the Amorican National, The German Savings bank paid out be tween £25,000 and 0,000 in small sums. The Omaha Savings bank paid out from $10,000 to $45,000 in six hours. The Dime vings refused to pay out any money while thero is $0 much excitement and say they can and will pay any depositor who wants his money after the flurry is over. The Amer- jcan Savings bank officials say that they paid out only a little more than usual and did not have much of a run. They enforced the sixty-day notice on account of the depositors delaying regular business. The Nebraska Savings people say they paid out £30,000 in smull amounts.
