The reduction of wages by the Pillsbury-Washburn company at the demand of its English owners was the cause of the organization which includes every mill and every class of employes, The union not vet affiliated with the' Knights of Labor or the Federation, but expects to choose one or the other soon. C. A.

The triumph of General of the bank of Kansas City." OLDEST BANK IN THE The following figures show falling off in the bank's busine panic_of 1893: On July 12, 1892, the total deposits were $1,890,000; February 28, 1894, $1,777,000; March 5, 1895, $990,000. The | total deposits aggregate $400,000; cash on hand yesterday, $200,000, The bank is the oldest financial institution 10 the city, having b en es‘ablished by Mess J. 8. and W. H. Chick before the war. Until the panic of 1893 it was rankzd as one of the stron banks in the west. In July, 1893, it succumbed to a run and temporarily closed its doors. Although the capital was reduced and the stockholders paid in a 50 per cent asseszment in the reorganization, the insti- | tution has never recovered from the blow if received at that time, and its suspension now is directly attributed to that suspension, The officers of the bank are closeted with several of the heavy depositors at this time, 1t s understood that It is the intention to| wind up the affairs of the institution and re- tire from business President J.

On Saturday over $60,000 was withdrawn and the officers saw that if the run continued they would not be able to continue payment today There is 1o probabllity that.any of the other bauks will be affected in any way. Whils there was considerable excltement when the suspension was first made public, yet there is the best of feeling among depositors for the officers of the failed institution At the othier banks the suspension was re- garded as an unfortunate affair, which will have no direct effect except to increase the | business of all the other banking institutions.
