NEBRASKA BAVK COLLAPSE | chvtgme, s chpsman v v o ' Citizans National of Grand Island Foro:d to Oloss Its Doors. SLOW COLLECTIONS CAUSED THE TROUBLE ident of the Institation Refuses to Taik Further Than to Declars that the Depositors Will Suffer No Loss. Graxn Teraxn, Dec, 4.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bee.|—The heaviest Bnancial crash that hus stenck this city in a long time was announced this morning by this simple notice posted on the door of the Citizens National bank Owing to slow collections, the board of ai rectors of this bank have ordered the same 10 be closed 4 G. A, Monrexstecien, Cashier, In less than an hour after the closing of bink anxious creditors and depositors pled the cornerof Third nnd Locust ets, where the zenghank is located. Were no angry worus, nor was there sceno of that kind, e 1 depositors sym- the pathizing with the iostitution, which has been liberal and cnterprising. 1t was rumored that deposits amounted to $18,500, with only §15 ash on hand. This could neither be it denjed. H. A. Kocnig, president of the seen by T Bee representative and this rumor, but said he could say ubout it, scertained to be correct nor was ank, w told of nothing Waiting for the Examinet. “Wecan make no statement,” he said. “You must wait until the bank examiner comes and can make his report. Certainly if we had the cash to pay the depositors we would not have closed. We were below the legal reserve. Bank Examiner M. Grifith has tele- graphed that he will arrive tonight. Upon his report Lo the comptroller of tha currcney o receiver will be uppointed, and it is thought by somo there is plenty of collateral in the bank to meet ¢ ot due the depositors, but it will take time. At the same time there are ovhers who are not so sanguine as to the outcome. Large holdings of real estate, slow collec tion of farm and other notes are unauthori- tatively riven as factors in the bank’'s clos» conditioh, which was aggravated by n large withdrawal of deposits, such withdrawal being increased by individual suits ainst several of the stockholders, The street rail- way is closely connected with the bank and it is feared it will be scriously affected. There have been no runs on any of the other bunks and nono is feared. Assistance was sought from other banks, but was declined, the reason being ven that the Citzeus paper did not w it. The bank was the ola in Grand Island. It was organ- 1zed in 1871 and had a capital stock of $00,- 000. The directors were: Jonn L. Means, 0. A. Abbott, Gustave Koehler, Henry A. Koenig, William A. Hagge, A. H. Baker, George A. Mohvenstecher. One Estimate of the Sitvation. The following figures as to the conaition of the Citizens National bank are given by a loval paper tonight: Liabilities, deposits, $183,000; rediscounts. i assets, notes aisconnted, §276,320.18; cash’ on hand, $13,- 1. This, if itall were available, woula leave, after the paymeny of deposits, a sur- plus of §70,811.37. But there is some doubt that a pary of the assets are collectable. How lurge this portion is nobody now and during the present dey business and of the money market it will un- doubtedly take a good while to realize on outstanding notes, which are ble. The ofticials are meeting with the best of #00d will and no hard feelings exist against them. They all declare that the depositors «will be paid in full TEACREKS IN CONVENTION, Many Edacators ol Northwestern Nebraska Mect at Chadron. CrADRON, Neb., Dec. 4.—[Special to Tme Ber,]—Pursuant to a call from State Super- intendent A. K. Goudy a tonvention of the teachers of northwest Nebraska met at Chadron Friday and Saturday. On Friday about sixty teachers assembled to listen to a very ablo adaress by Supe tendent Goudy on “Educational Conven- tions,” Mr. Goudy reviewed the organiza- tion of the state association at Omaha in 1875 and compared the attendance of forty teachers at that time with the ‘attendance last winter at Lincoln of nearly 1,000 He also enumerated and traced the devel- opment of the various sectional associations of Nebraska, A paper on ‘“‘Hygiene,” by Mrs. Mereaith of Crawford, callea forth many interesting remarks. In the afternoon of the first day Rov. John Jefferies of Crawford discussed the ‘“‘Rela- tion of Bourd to School.” This subject pro- voked very earnest discussions from Princi- pal W. A. Norton of the State Normal school, Principal W, Siders of Crawford, Superintendent J. O, Taylor of Chadron and others, An addresson the “Study of P which was delivered by Princ Siders, was handled in a very able manner. He outlined tho subject of psychology, giv- ing its relation to pedagogy and the artof teaching, suggesting that teachers should found their methods upon the precise knowl- eage of the psychology of the growing mind. Mr. Goudy led in the discussion, and gave the teachers some valuable ideas of the ne- cessity of studying this subject. Rev. John Power also made some very apt remarks. In the evening of the'same day the con- vention met at Putnam’s opera house, where & largo audience was assembled to listen to an address on the “Educational Forces of the State,” by Superintendent Goudy. Mr. Goudy is always good, but this was unusu- ally interesting. After giving a brief re- view of the school forces of the state, he spoke of the annual and bienmal election of school ofticers, and gave statistics as to the number of school boards, school officers and teachers in the state. Music and recita- tions were interspersed throughout the even- ing's program. Judge Bartow ncted as chairman of the evening's meeting. On the morning of the second day Mrs. Goudy delivered an Intoresting address upon the subject of “School Library." rs. Goudy thinks the school library 1o be sadiy negleotad, and made a very earnost plea for tne attention of tho teachers to this all-im- portant subject. The enthusiasm of the speaker called forth a unanimous discussfon, Principal Bennet's paper on “The Field of the Academy mmparted some new and valu- ablo thoughts to the association. He stated that more students enter the higher iustitu- tions of learning from the academy than from the high scuool and that they were in- variably better prepared. “Duties of Outgoing Superintendents,” by Superintendent-elect C. E. FFoster, was next read, the opinion being that the outgoing uperintendent should ToLire as gracefully ny R, Boulblu The speaker was followed by Miss L.

HIS MIND IMPAIRED BY SICKNESS Violent Symptoms of Insanity Suddenly Developea—~Lincoin Minister Accused of Being Too Zealons in His Investigation of Kvil, Liscors, Dec. 4. —[Spacial to Tre Bee.] I, Newcomb, for some time a tesident ot Lincoln, was this afternoon examined by the insanity board as to his mental condition and sent to the insane asylum. Newcomb was formerly a Burlington engineer, but has been incapacitated for work for some time by iliness. Two years ago he suffered from an attack of the grip, and when he recov- ered his physical vigor it was found that his ental faculties had become impaired. He was not considered at all dangerous, and so, instead of being sent to an insane asylum, he was cared for by his friends. He was re- moved to the northern part of the state, where he was given a home with his rela- tives. Some few months since he was con- sidered well enough to come back to Lin- coln, since which time he has been living with his wife at 1635 N street. He never developed violent symptoms until yester His wife mnoticed yesterday, however, that he was extremely irritated over something and before the day closed she realized that he had at last become vivlently insane. She tried in vain to quiet him, but before she could secure assistance or alarm the neighbors he attacked her with a small penkife. He evidently intended to cut her throat, but only partially succeeded. She received o deep gash on the Jeft side of her neck, which caused a painful but not dangerous wound. Then she made her escape. While® she ran to a neighbor's house her husband tried to cut his own throat, using an old razor which nad been lying around the house for some time. He succeeded only in making agash in the side of hisneck. He then calmed down and offered no resistance to the ofticers that came and placed bim in custody, Will Expinin to the Elder. The controvarsy over the existence of the social evil in Lincoln has ussumed an en- tirely different phase. Sceme weeks ago Rev. Mr. Shepherd, a Methodist minister of this city, made some startling assertions in regard to the extent of the evil, claiming to have gained his information by personal in- vestigation. Mayor Weir and the excise board seemed to doubt his statements, and together they made o tour of the prescribed districts of ‘the city, going over the same ground covered by the clergyman, AS a re- sult of their investigations the mayor and the members of the board published a state- ment denying the assertions of the reverend gentleman. Not satisfled with this the mayor has laid the matter before Elder Sleeth of this conference. He charges Rev. Mr. Shepherd with distortion and exaggera- tion of the facts. Dead in a Box Car. The dead body of an unknown man_was found 1 any empty box car in the Rock Istand yards near the state fair grounds this afternoon. The man had evidently been dead for a number of days. There was ab- solutely nothing by which the identity ofthe man could be estaolished. The coroner, held an inquest and the jury returned a verdict to the effect that the man came to his death from causes unknown. Church Howe's Serious Case. The announcement made_ this evening for the first time that Hon. Church Howe of Nemaha county was lying seriously ill at the Hotel Lincoln from the effects of a painful surgical operation, created general surprise. None but his most intimate friends had been apprised of the reason for his visit to Lincoln Friday. He arrived in the city in the evening and the next morn- ing consulted u physician in regard to a tumorous growth in the right side of his throat and mneck. He was informed that an immediate operation was nec- essary. Saturday he was subjected to a severe test to see whether he was in proper physical condition for the opera- tion and yesterday forenoon he submitted himself to the surgeon's knife, the con- ditions having been found perfectly favor- able. Mr. Howe was under the influence of an auesthetic for an hour. The tumor, which is described by the sur- geons g8 a tubercular growth or enlargement of one of the principal glands, proved to be as lurge as an ordinary hen's egg. It had grown downward and inward and in order to remove it it was necessary to expose the jugular vein for several inches. The physi- claus who performed the operation state that the tumor would have been attached to the jugular vein in another thirty days and that in that event the removal would havs been fatal. Mr. Howe stood the dangerous operation remarkably well. He suffered intense pain yesterday all day, but is feeling much better today and his physicians say that he will be entirely out of danger by tomorrow or next day.~He is being cared for at the hotel by his son, Herbert. Lincoln in Brief, Walters and Fender, the men charged with complicity in the robbery of the store at Waverly some Lwo weeks agn, have been held to the district court. 3 Patrick Burke, the man accused of mayhem by John Markin, was today discharged by Police Judge Waters. He was immediately rearrested on the same charge and taken before Judge Foxworthy. ‘I'he case will be heard tomorrow forenoon.

HER VERACITY QUES1I0NED, Little Credeuce Placed in Mrs. Foy's Story of the Cronin Murder. Cu1ca6o, Dee, 4.—One of the assistant ate torneys for the prosecution in the Coughlin case emphatically denied today the state- ment that Mrs. Foy is insane. Mvs. Foy is the woman who told the sensational story of the Cronin murder alleged to have been gleaned from her husband, who, she claims, was one of the conspirators, The insanity tale is ridiculous,” said the attorney. “No insane woman ever wld a story like that. But the defense will undoubtedly bring wit- nesses Lo testify that the woman talked with them und told other stories, and it will come down o a question of voracity for the jury to deciae.” In the trial today the search for jurovs was continued, The defense exercised its peremptory challenge on Herman Busch, a restaurant man, who has lived in Chicago for three years and who said he had never heard of the Cronin case until last Saturday . Jerry Flyon, the clerk suspended a weels ago on suspicion of haviog tampered with the jury list, was reinstated today. Flynn filed an afidavit declaring his innocence of the charge against him. e Land Olaims in New Mexico. Saxra Fe, N.

Representatives of the nows- papers interested and of the breweries, were there to present their clains. The subject was brought up by the following communi- cation from the World-Herald : Wi A controversy exists botweon the World-Herald s 1o which paper ls cntitled to the \ing of liquor notices, and Wherens, This matter I8 now pending In the supreme court of the state in the case tuken up from this board, and \Whereas, The law contemplates that each applicant for a license shall decido for him- sell which newspaper has the largest clrcula- tion: and 3 Whereas, The supreme court ot Nebraska, in Lamt ugnlnst Stevens, 20th Nebraska, at if an applicant exercises king his seloction of n news- papen, o shall bo entitled to a licene whether 16 selects the proper newspaper or not; and Whereus, This decision protects ull honest applicants'in either the World-Horala or Be untll the supreme court rendors its decision and sotiles the doubt; Now, therefore, the World Publishing com- pany hiereby enters its protest against uny at- {empt by thls board to prejudico the qiestion botween the World-Herald and Tie BEE as beyenl the power and legal authority of this bourd ut this time Mr. Rosewater's Position.

A notice published in the Sunday edition of a news- paper is not legal, although THE SUNpAY Bee has the largest circulation of any paper in tho western country."
