LINCOLN, July 27.—(Speclal.)—The bauking institutions of Lincoln are enjoy- | ing greater prosperity and are in a stronger condition than ever before in thelr history.

The number of state banks doing business o Nebraska has increased from 412 on December 13, 1900, to 429 today and | one application for a charter Is pending | with the State Banking board Following Is a comparative statement of | the deposits and loans of the three na- | tional banks of Lincoln: | First N City Columb| to tonal . National 1 e In 1895 the deposits of the First National bank, the largest banking institution in the city, amounted to $624,393.

Yesterday a man with an ‘“‘im- proved method” called at the executive ofiee to solicit a contribution of $5,000 to an interstate ralnmaking fund and the governor, after listening to the story, vol- | untarily agreed to drink all the rain he could produce. “I wouldn't walk across the street for all the rain these men could make,” declared the governor today. “I know something about rain and the conditions which pro- into a room nke duce molsture. You can go nd with chemicals produce a shower of water, but enough chemicals to make an inch of rain over one acre of ground would | cost over $400,001 The man who called on the governor and asked for the contribution was Rev. W. J. Pyle, pastor of the Harlam Place Meth- odist Episcopal church, St. Louls, He sald his method consisted in the use of ex- plosives and chemicals and he declared that for $20,000 he could bring down a liberal ehower of water over the states of Ne- braska, Kan: Missourt and lowa. He told Governor Savage the Kansas City Board of Trade, the St. Louls Chamber of Commerce and the governors of Kansas and Missourt had his proposition under ad- visement and that several thousand dollars had already been subscribed. Governor Savage gave the rainmaker no encouragement. Mr. Pyle talked with sev- eral citizens concerning his proposition, but as the subscription was not forthcoms ing he left on an evening train for Des Moines, where he will attempt to interest the Jowa state authorities in his plan. Two Convicts Transferred. On recommendation of the Medical Ex- amining board Governor Savage has or- dered two convicts traneferred from the penltentiary, one to the Hospital for In- urable Insane at Hastings and the other to the Hospital for Insane pear this city.

The removal of these two convicts will under a law passed by the last lej iture, which authorizes the governor, upon he recommendation of the warden and the [cdical Examining board, to transfer any in convict to one of the etate hos- pltals, The board met yesterday and ex- amined the two convicts and today the findings were approved by the governor, Error in Statt An error fn the last report of former tate Superintendent Jackson made it ap- that 7,163 certificates were issued to hers during the year 1900, This num- ¢ was about 700 less than the year pre- lous. The Bureau of Statistics today di vered an error of 1,000 in the total which should be 8,163 instead of the nume ber quoted. The discrepancy was discred- 1tug to the department of public instruce ti?n because the figures indicated a de- crease in the number of certificates issued. State 011 Inspector's Recelpt los.

Juryman nn Witnes Ganrd Can a juryman also act as a witness in the same case I8 the unusual question pre- sented by the Rock Island Railroad company In u brief just fled in supreme court. The court said, In an opinfon receatly filed, that it was not incompatible, but a rehear- | ing is now asked on this ruling. The case was one In which a woman Who was Injured In the big wreck near here seven years ago secured a round sum in damages from the road on the theory that | | a raiiroan is responsible for the safety of Its passengers, and must stand in damages for whatever Injurles may be sustalned from any cause, It le Insisted in the brief supporting the motlon for a rehearing that the court seems to have overlooked the point that the rail- road company objected to the man as a Juror and not alone to the taking of his evidence.
