The causes which affected so many of -them were not, however, local. The same causes operated in every state in the union and Neb ka was no worse off, and perhaps a great deal better, than many of her sistor states. Durmg the year the bank suspensions numbered forty-five. Of this number but fifteen were placed in the hands of receivers, the rest either beingsold or con- solidated with other banks o they went into liquidation. Six of the banks that laced in the hands of receivers paid depositors dotlar for dollar. In only five were the depositors subjected to any considerable loss. The listof state banks which went out of business during the year is as follows: Ansley, Porter Bros. & Co., Alli- ance; Citizens of Atkinson, Farmers and Merchants of Bassett, American at Beat- trice, First bank of Brewster, Bank of Champion, State of Cortland, Meridan State of Cozad, Bank of Dannebrog, Bank of De Witt, Saline County bank at De Witt, armers and Merchants of Klk Creek, Mer- chants of Fairmont, State of Franklin, J. M. Thatcher's bank at Fort Calhoun, Farmers and Merchants of Grant, Citizens xchange of Grant, Bank of Gresham, Peo- ple's at Gothem, Bank of Homingford, State of Hay Springs, Savings of Havelock, Bank of Imperial, Bank of Kenesaw, Nebraska Suvings of Lincoln, Lancaster County bank of Lincoln, State at Lyons, Banxk of Lyons, Bank of Marquette, American Savings of Omaha, Holt County bank at O'Neill, Keith County bank at Ogalalla, First Commercial bank at Odell, Citizens State bank of Ox- ford, Bank of Pender, Stato of Plainview, Platte County bank at Platte Center, Farmers and Merchants at Red Cloud, State of Rushville, Fillmore unty bank at rang, Farmers State at Shubert, Bank of Verona, W. H. Dickinson’s bank at Wahoo, More State Depositories Selected. The governor, attorney general and secre: tary of state this afternoon approved the bonds and designated six additional state depositories. The list of bauks so desig- nated together with tho amounts of their bonds is as follows: Nebraska City Na- tional, §0,000; Iirst National of Beatric $50,000; German National of Hasting: £30,000; Citizens National of Geneva, $15,000; First National of Ord, 810,000, and First Na* tional of Friend, $10,000. ‘The above banks combined will be en- titled to hold not to exceed $195,000 of state funds, Tho state is now drawing interest upon £45,000, with more bonds to be ap- proved by the board. Suill Aftor the Directors. The suits against the directors of the de- funct Capital National bank continue to pile up on the docket of the district court. Two more suits were commenced this forenoon, one by the Utica bank to recover $7,497.17, which it had on deposit in the vank at the time of 1ts failure, and tho other by Isaac Holt, who wants judgment for 5,000, the amount of his deposit. The petitions both allege that inasmuch as the directors signed their names to the quarterly reports of the bank, they must have been *thoroughly con- versant with its condition. W. J. Crandall has also commenced a suit acainst Receiver Hayden for $630. He al- leges that just prior to the failure of the bank he purchased H. C. Smith's interest in astoroat Firth. Av that time the store ad a credit in the Capital National of $580 Thne receiver refuses to recognize Crandall's claim to any of the monoy for tho reason mith also claims an interest in the de- Davey's Postmaster in Trouble, James H. O'Brien, postmaster at the lit- tlo town of Davay. in this county, was ar- raigued before Judge Dundy of the United States court this morning, on the charge of embezzlement. The amount of his alleged defalcation is $500.75. He entored a plea of not guilty, and was released on 8500 bonds to_appear’ for trial. O'Brien has been in- volved in no little amount of trouble during the past year. At the time he was ap- pointed postmastor of Davey he was under arrest for seling liquor without a govern- ment license, but he cleared himself of the charge. A short time sinco he was arrested and taken before & Lincoln justice of the peace, on the charge of disposing of mor gaged property. To finish off his unlucky career comes tho chargo of embezzlement proferred by the federal suthorities. He claims that he took tho monoy with no - tention of defrauding the government, On the day before tho inspector called upon him he was compelled to pay a large amount of mon He had cousiderable money duo him, and in order to help himself out of his dilemma ho borrowed the money from Uncle Sau. Against the Social Evil, Mayor Woir has taken another new de- parture in the crusade against the social ovil. In a letter to Chief of Police Cooper, dated yestorduy, hestates his position at length oo the question. He isnowise in sympathy with the methods commonly u %o suppress the evil. The system of monthly fines ho looks upon as an indirect mauner of license, and he states emphatically that he will under no circumstances concur in the custow of finiug the women alone, believing that all prostitutes, male and female, should be dealt with oxactly ulike. He therefore issues the following direct orders First—To notify all those responstvle for tho munagement and control of houses of Lll-fame within the city limits that they must discon- tinue all the customs, bublts snd practices pertaining to such houses and close what they call “business” on aud aftor the frst day of Murch, 1894 Secoud—Notity all known prostitutes that | thair real names onte | cil Bluffs on the THE OMAHA DATLY - BEE: WED SDAY, JANUARY 17, 1894 tholr prossnee fn this ity will not be per- mitted aftor that date. 1€ they decline to re- 110 ve, you will arrest and prasant them to the court for fine or imprisonmant every day until | Thoy nrw oithar wiiling to Inave the city of aro it to romain in confinement Third—All male visitors who are found in theso louses after the date given will have 1on tho records of the and fros access given to this 110 may care to seo it Fourth—File complaint ander the law aguinst all propurty ownors who rent property for use of o to prostitutes, and see that they prosected.

NEBRASKA'S FINE SHOWING Session of the State Board of Agriculture, Annual REPORTS OF THE VARIOUS OFFICIALS Coreal Yield ot the Past Year Very Good Especially in the Ircigated Sections ~Wheat Crop Rather Short. LiscoLy, Jan. 16.—[Special Telegram to Tne Bee. ] —The twenty-eighth annual ses- sion of the State Board of Agriculture met atthe State university at 5 o'clock this afternoon.” In the absence of President Heury, Vice President Barry presided and respondeds briefly to tho pleasant sremarks of welcome by Chancellor Canfield. The business of tho session was entirely of a routine character, consisting of reports of the secretary and treasurer, auditing com- mittee, delegates to various associations, ete. Secretary’s Annual Report. Secrotary Furnas presented his annual re- port to the board. The tirst portion of the report deals with the finunces of the board for the past year and goes into details. The following 18 & recapitulation of the report: The total roceipts or assets for the yoar 1893, including the balance on hand from last year and the annual state appropri- ation, was $41,717.33. The actual receipts, omitting the balance on hand and state appropriation, were 5 745.90. Amount paid for premiums, $17,704.82; other expenses, £21,014.45. Total d out, £38.770.28. Bal ance on hand nber 31, 1803, §2,035.05, There were paid $2,600.44 less premiums for 1803 than fer 1852, ‘The other expenses were $1.775.14 less than in 1502, it will be seen all expenditures for 1803 wero $4,387.58 less than for 1892, The deticiency for 1503 was by reason of shortage in receipts, the total being £15,340.47 less than for 1802, In gate receipts alono the receipts for 1303 were $11.324.25 less than for 1892, RECAPITULATION.

State C For reasons given in former reports it 18 impossible, at the present time, to give full agricaltural data pertaining to crops for the ar ending December 31, preceding. Suf- ficient, however, us to the leading factors, 1s at command to givea fair approximate. The corn acreage in Nebraska for 1803 1s close to 5,383,812, and the average yield per acre for the whole state twenty-three bushels. Total, 070 bushels. Tho wheat acreage,which is usually short, will not exceed 1,100,000 acres. Tho yield, too, is short, the state average being nine and one-half bushels to the acre, making a total of 10,450,000 bushels. ‘The acreage of oats is about 485,000, with an average yield of fifteen bushels to the acre, a total crop of 14,775,000 bushels. Barley 110,200 acres, with an average yield of fifteen Qushels, total yieid 1,653,000 bushels. Rye, 35425 acres at twelve and one-half bushels per acre gives a total crop of 442,812 bushels. A fact here worthy of note 18 that irri- gated lands for 1893 show better yields for all crops than those not irrigated, even in tne otherwise most favorable districts in the state. Full crop reports, as accurate as may be, will be obtaiued in time for the annual volume. While ilis, and many serious ones, have attended agriculture in Nebraska, as else- where throughout the civilized world the year past, the outlook is such as not to deter tho persistent husbandman from continuing his work. Invery many respects Nebraska has much for self-congratulation in com- parison with other states. Embarrassment and depression at the present time is the common lot of all, but less oppressive, 1 risk to say, than to almost any other vocation. Last Yoar's Exposition, To the casual and unthwking observer and from a purely financial standpoint alone the fair for 1893 would not be termed a suc- cess. Aud yet, all things considered, it was the most successful fair the board ever held. No one conversant expected to pay expenses. One principal object was to keep in line as it were. At one timo serious doubts were both entertained and expressed as to tho advisabitity of holding a fair during the Columbian year. Our exhibits in some minor particulars wero a trifle less than usual. As a whole, however, the aggregate exhibit excelled any preceding fair, and both patrons and exhib- itors were never better pleased. I¢was most fortunate that Nebraska held her an- nual fair in 1893, Here reputation and standing wero enhanced thereby ‘‘an hun- dred fold or more.” It was demonstrated that under adverse environments she could hold a most successful fair. With a carefully and wisely husbanded balance on hand, held forsuch an emergency, all pre- miums were paid in full and in cash to nearly all the winners before they left the grounds; paid all debts in full and in cash; do not owe a nickel, and have a little “pin money” on hand. Noother state association in the United States, as faras heard from, did ths. State Agricultural Museum The long entertained idea and project of the board to create and install a permanent state agricultural museum or exhibit, made upof the products of the state and from each county, now bids fair to be realized in the very near future. The consent of all counties but two—and it is hoped to obtain these—that had cabinet cases in the state builaing at the World’s fair was ob- tained to transfer them to the board rooms in the capitol building in this city. 'They arn now there, forty in all. Each contains twenty-eight glass jars to be filled with corn, wheat, oats, barley and the like. These it is now proposed to fill with products from the respective counties to which they belong, and not all from the same sack. These detaiis are here mentioned in order that members and dele- gates in attendance may be induced to take interesv and aid to the end indicated. There are reasons to hope thut all counties in the state will be prevailed upon to provide cases and jars for this museum. No better plan can be devised by which each county, and thus the entire stato, can be so advanta- weously advertised. ‘lhe cases and jars cost 0 each. The board rooms ave now open daily, where all interested are invited to call and make themselves at home. 8 The fair dates for tho year 1804, recom- mended for Nebrasia at the Western Dis- trict Faie association, which met at Chicago in October lust, were September 7 to 14, Nebraska follows Towa, as heretofore, The roport from the delegate from this board to that meeting will show the dates for all the states 1 the district. These dates, ler. it be borne in mind, aroonly recommended by the district association and must be confirmed by the respective states. So far as heard from the other states have ratified the dates assigned them. It remains for the board to act. After mature consideratfon and what seemed to be good and sufiicient reason the “oard has decided not to hold the annual winter corn exhibit this year. Treasurer's Annual Report.

[} 14.00 TRAIY 10D OF HARROWS The Lininger & Metoalf Company Re- ceive a Shipment of TWO THOUSND CUTAWAY PULVERIZERS Largest Single Shipment Known In the Implement Trade—Gold Medal Machine of the World's Falr that Will Rev- olutionize the Harrow Business. A carload of freight under existing fnan- clal conditions looks to the railrond man like an immense ¢ pany is called upon to haul a whole train of cars loaded with the same kind of goods \cross the country the freight man is in- clined to doubt his eyes, while the inhabi- tants of the torritory through which the train passed stand amazed at the sight of such enterprise, Last year the Lininger & Mete sold so many Cutaway pulvork conceived the idea of bringing to Omaha o whole train load of harrows this year from the factory at Higganum, Conn., and when they broached the subject to thie makers of the Cutaway machines the proposition was jumped at, as it was the first train ever sont out by the harrow company. But when th Lininger & Metealf people sent in their order for 2,000 pulverizers to constitute the train tho manufacturers questioned their ability to deliver so large an order, but “the triumph of sending out the largest single shipment of pulverizers ever kuown in the implement trade, appealed so strongly to the caster people that the train was arvanged for, th Pennsylvania company providing twenty- one of the iargestcars on their system, of the same capacity, equipped with air brakes throughout, in fact a train of palace freighy cars, and this train, with flags flying, pla arded from engine to caboose. announcin to the world that the Lininger & Metcalf company of Omaha were the consiznees, left.

Haller of the Lininger & Metealf company joined the train at Creston and came througn with it to Omaha, as did Mr. H. 8. Storrs, division superintendent of the Burlington at Creston. The train ran on passenger time, the Burlington people as woell as the Pennsylvania company exerting themselves to give the tram the rightof way whenever possible. On its arrival the train was met in the yards by President Lininger, Vice President J. M. Metcalf, H. P. Devalon of the Lininger & Metealf company, Jules Lombard of the Pennsylvania company, A. B. Smith, assist- ant general freight agent of the Burlington system, and a great numover of spectators, who examined the pulverizers with interest, one man remarking that there seemed to be enough harrows on tne train to work the whole of the United States. After the train had been vulled on a side track near the buildings of the Lininger & Metealf company a photographer made a negative of the long line of cars, which were decorated with banners and flags. This new pulverizer, which won the gold medal at the World’s Columbian exposition, is constructed on scientific principles, being different from other disc pulverizers in hav- ing the full biade notched, aud as the di: made of excellently tempered steel the action of the ground on the biade keeps i con- stantly sharpened. The action of the blade is similar to a mould board, lifting and turn- ing the soil instead of pushing it sidewise as other styles of discs do. Then again the draft is lighter and the discs enter the ground easier, penetrating deeper, stirring and pulverizing the soil more thoroughly than can be done wish tho solid or any other form of disc. The machine is composed of two gangs, linked together with ball and socket arrungoment, that admits of the machine being placed in almost any angle to strike the ground. It has wooden journal boxes over tho axles and a steel scraper at the side of each dise, which cleans the blade effectually at every revolution.

Queen Lill fuetined to Wait on the of Congross. AN Fraxciseo, Jan. 16, ence from Hawaii recoived by the steamer Australia thoro was an assertion that the doposed queen has givon up the contest and will suo the United States for damagos for the part taken by the former representatives of this country av the time the provisional governmont was substituted for the mon- chy Samuel Parker, prime minister of tho ox- | Quoen and minister of foreign affairs, and A. P. Poterson, attorney general, two membe of tho cabinet at the time of tho change of government, camo by the same steamer. “They briefly denied the statement, that it was unimportant Last night they noticed in the telegraphic dispatches from Washington that consider alie weight is given at tho capitol to this re- port. ln consequence, Mr. Parker last even- ing sent a strong telegram to Secrotary of State Gresham, signed as prime mun r and minister of foreign affuirs, positively denying these assertions and declaving that the queen has submitted her case to the ar- bitration of the United States and will pa- tiently await the verdict. Mr. Parker and Mr. Peterson said last evening that thoy saw tho queen half an hour bofore they left on the steamor Australia aud she was firm in her determination to maintaiu her claim to the throne. At no time did she or any of her advisers mention the possibility of pro- uting claim to the United States for pe- \ges. Her Only Recourse I8 to Congress WASHINGTON, Jan. 16,—The rumor that the ox-quoen is about to bring suit against the United States for a large sum of money, bas- ing her claims for the damages on the presi- dent's recent Hawa ud Secre tary Gresham's lettor, created a great deal of interest in officiabeirclos, Suit can not be brought by an individual azainst the government and there is no method of pro- cedure which she can pursue. The only course onen is to submit her claim against the United States. This congress would have to approve before the claim could be adjusted by the court of claims. In fact, the only recourse of the ex-queen is to congress, where, in view of her present unpopularity, she could hardly expect to meet with satis- faction or success. WITH A G Action In correspond deeming IN OF SAL Rumors fro fawail Which the London Times Takes with Reserve, LoNpoN, Jan, 16.—The Times in a leading article says: It is prudent to accopt all un- official rumors from Hawaii with reserve. It is possible that the report that the ex-queen is in danger of deatn is well founded, and 1t is easy to believe that her weakness of heurt must have been severely aggravated by the intense and prolonged anxicty of her present position. On the other hand, it 1s conceiv- with a stalk cutter, saving the cost of that machine, which the farmer is compelled to ve on his farm wheu using the ordinary bladed harrow. Ihe pulverizer cuts tho stallss, at tho same time pulverizes the soil and is a time-saver as well as a mon aver. With all the old pattern harrows it has been difficult to control certain conditions, such as light swards, sodded lands, flelds that have been plowed for several months, or wheat, corn, oats and other stubble lands; in fact, heretofore the tool to e used upon that class of linds has been the plow, but with the Cutaway pulverizer the conditions have been changed, for muny of the fields above mentioned can be cultivated in a much move perfect manner than possiblo with the plow, and in less than half tho time. This harrow not only commends itself to the farmer, for whom it was designed, but to the d well, for it is regarded in the trade as a “specialty,” only one firm in the country being engaged in the manufacture of the implement. Dealers, therefore, who sell these pulverizers and build up a trade in them are little affected by prices of com- petitors, as they can only be had through general agonts ropresenting the manufac- turer: In comparing this harrow with other disc tools, many reasons suggest thomselyvos why the Cutaway is superior, some of the reasons being that the dises enter tho ground much easier than a full disc; that there are no ridges left by the Cutaway pul- verizer, the ground being left smooth; be- cause the small grain put in with this har- row does not come up in rows; because it fills up dead furrows and small ditches; it cuts sod better and s the best ma- chine for back sotting or putting small grain into sod land: tho maiu axle runs in hard maple wood boxes, making less draft and finally it will work in wet land (not mud) where no other dise can move. These reasons are the result of a wide use of these pulverizers since their in- troduction to the farmers of the country some flvo years ago One of the strongest testimonials offered in benalf of a farm tool came to Lininger & Metcalf company from Huffman & Rollins of Neligh, Neb,, who state: *“The Cutaway harrow, bought two yeurs ago, has given the best satisfaction of any tool we have er used. We raised 4,000 bushels of oats from forty acres of fall plowing put in with the Cutaway disc," This shipment, which is the largest in the annals of the imblement trado, represents o value of $100,000 and is designed exclusively for the trade in Nebraska and western-lowa, the Lininger & Metcalf company showing great enterprise in bringing this train nearly 2,000 miles loadea with Cutaway pul- verizers. e Commission re ts Longue, The local League of Commission Merchants some persons concorned in the in- e of her down fa bo interested in fing faise reports in regard to her th. 1t is amusing and instructive o ob- serve that although the whole conspiracy whiel Me. Thurston concocted and executed by aid of the United States minister was sim- ply toannex the islands to the United States against the will of the queen, he imitates President Dole’s example and swageers about the international rizghtsof the iude- pendent rapublic of Hawail. The article proceeds o praise Mr. Clove- land for his firm attitude in the Hawaiian matter and continues: *What the ultimate issue will be, it is not easy to say, but in the face of Mr. Willis' dispateh it is sutisfactory to know that there is a naval forco available sufficient to protect the lives and property of the British inhabitauts. It is probablo that the risk of a violent attemot on the ex-queen is not serious, but it is both ludicrous and significant that the minister relies upon tho telephone from the ex-queen’s house to his room for her protection. Although Liliuo- kalani is no doubt well advised in assenting to_Cleveland’s terms, it cannot be denied that the objections she originally urged aguinst them have a deal of force. In the dramaticconversation reported by M. Willis, she exhibited acuteness of under- ding as well as queenly dignity of a really striking kind.” - Sl ¥. 0.

Wasiy Jan. 16.—Representative Sibley of Pennsylvania has prepared a bill pensions in a new issue of 2 per cent Mr. Sibley’s bill is desizned to give pensioners the beuefits usually accruing from bonds and also to give the govornment a ready means of mecting pension obliga tions. His vlan is to make the bonds in de- nominations of $20 up to #1100 and to make them lezal tender except for customs dutie This would allow it tos circulate as paper currency. His plan contemplates the issuc of such bonds until the amount reaches $x0 per capita for the population of the country Mr. Sibley intend to suggest his plan to Secrotary Carlislo and in any cvent to offer it as an amendment to the genoral provision if one comes up. ey Arrested as a Fugitive, Cmicago, Jan. 16 —Harry Hill, charged with being a fugitive from justice,was taken to jail today in default of 8,000 bond, He was arrested last night on a description that had been roceived from Atlauta, Ga.
