No | member of the firm appeared at the house [ during the day. Among those who called | and conferred with Frank Mitchell, who lis in charge of the books, were Messrs. Green & McKinstry, representing the .ondon, Paris and American Bank. They looked at the books for some time and sked many questions. Such information as they gained they refused to give out. While the partners kept out of sight, the situation was the subject for animat- ¢ | ed discussion on Callfornia street until | offices and banks were closed for the day. | The general version of the causes that |led to the disaster were summed up by | @ person near to the firm as follows: | “The house speculated heavily. The price of December wheat went up. There were heavy payments of interest money to be carried along. The firm lost heavily on charters. That is the story in a nut- &hell.” COMPLETE SURPRISE. The failure of Eppinger & Co. produces great surprise all around. This is suf- ficiently indicated by the number of | tanks that hold the firm’'s paper, both in this city and outside, as security for money loaned in large sums. The most careful and conservative men in the com- munity are supposed to be the bankers. The list of banks that are creditors, as published in the foregoing. is eloquent tribute to the commercial belief that Ep- pinger & Co. was solid. The significant feature of the case, as it is viewed by | grain men on California street, was that | the firm, without the aid of powerful al- lies, such as it possessed in the other members of the “Big Four” combine of last year, continued to try to pursue the old tactics alone. Before the crash that led to the disso- lution of the old combine the strong | fight possible was put up against Eppin- | ger and his business assoclates. In 1%02 | the Grain Growers’ Assoelation was form- ed. This included a combination of in- | dependent grain producers whose avowed purpose was to war with the “Big Four.” This association managed to secure a pledge of one-third of the wheat crop of California. It also proposed to charter vessels, 10 employ agents to represent the membership in Europe and to proceed 1o market the wheat of this State without the intervention of the San Franciseo brokers. The grievance of the farmers was that the price of charters was kept unduly and unreasonably by the com- ot . | WHY FARMERS ARE RARELY BALD HEADED Explanation Offered by a City Bar- ber as to Singular Fact. Sver see a rcal back country farmer with a bald head?" asked the suburban barber, replying to the request of his teliectual sitter for a reason for the thin- ning of his capillary thatch. “Now, I have worked in fully half the States in| the Unior, in town and in country, and I | never bave. The farmer I'm thinking of may be well sup- pliec with hayseed and barndust, but the hair is generally very silky and well nour- ished “No, I don't believe that dust or seeds are good for the bair. Dox"t make any mistake there. But I am sure that the centinual washing of the scalp is about the worst thing possible for the roots «f the hair. Now, gentlemen think nothing of taking a bath every day. Some use a little ammonia in the water to soften it. Most of them make sure of a clean scalp b using soap. The effect upon the head’ is the same in both cases. The natural oil which ought to exist about eyery healthy scalp is completely removed. Ana that just starves out the roots of the halr really as though you wash a lily bulh clear of its soil and set it to grow on that slab. Pomatum? Say, I can sell you cheap as you can buy anywhere, pretty nearly every kind used in the pro- fession! Maybe they are pretty good; most of them, anyway. But no maker has yet discovered a halr preserver quite as good as the natural oil which you find about the heads of healthy voung chil- dren, for instance. If I could discover how to make that and how to apply could strike a fortune in no time. k country farmer I am talk- inz or three times a year, that is, in thresh- ing time creek. And you see the resuit “There there's ancther thing to remem- ber. The farmer lives pretty physical labor. That means he does not, | as a rule -overheat his head by planning and thinking, like the city man or the rest who get their living by their brains. Such men dry up all the natural ofl springs nature stuck about the hcad by | their inside heat. We find when we cur it | that thelr hair is quite crisp and hnrd, | what there is of it.” ““Then your advice would be, ‘Keep cuol and let your hair grow,’ as the boys used | to say “Sure, and, more important still, never sh your head with anything which will make a lather unless you are obliged to. If you have to, be sure you wash all| the Jye and ammonia and such like well | out of the scalp with water, to give the | 0l a chance to do its best. —Washington Star. “Next! CANINE COMMUTER ON NEW YORK ROAD Takes Train at Mount Vernon for City Regularly Every Day. | For the last ten days the employes at the Mount Vernon station of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rallroad | bave been curious to learn the identity |of a dog who seems to have become a | regular commuter on the road. The dog | answers to the name of Jack and is a mongrel. Jack usually arrives at the station | panting from exertion to catch the 8:47 train for this city. He walts until he secs a good chance to get on the train and after all the passengers are on board he makes a dash up the steps and into a coach. He hides under a seat. At first the conductors and brakemen chased him and kicked him when they caught him stealing rides, but he has since made friends of them and they have come to respect his rights, at least as much as | they do the rights of the other com- i muters. | The dog when he reaches the Grand | Central station bounds off the train and | disappears in the crowd. In the evening he returns and by watching for the Mount Vernon commuters manages to |nnu the train for that city. Yesterday Jack was put off two trains {and then disappeared. In the afternoon ih: was seen getting off a train from this city, showing that he had come here de- | spite the efforts of the station employes Ilu prevent him. When he can not get on a train. Jack goes about with his tail between his legs whining disconso- | iatcly.—New Yerk Tribune. | ———— { Mr. Knox Tells a Story.

Harrington, cashler of the Bank of Colusa, says that the bank is amply secured for the money it loaned to Eppinger & Co. MONTEREY, June 6.—The Bank of Monter¢y is not affected by the failure of Erpinger & Co. Vice President T. J.

Henry, cashier of the bank. WOODLAND, June 6.—Eppinger & Co. transacted bpsiness with the Bank of | Ycle and the Bank of Woodland. In both | instances the accounts are overdrawn, but the banks are amply secured by re- ceipts for grain in warehouses. STOCKTON, June 6.—Eppinger & Co. have no warehouse here, but do their storing with Dickinson & Guernsey. At this time the firm has no grain here, it having been moved out some time ago. The local representatives of the firm are not affected by the failure. The *mar- ket fell off here 3 points this morning and then went up to $1 32%. The reason for the fluctuation was not known until a telephone message was sent tg San Francisco to learn the cause. Local grain men say they have been expecting some | BYRON HOT SPRINGS.
