When they entered the bank they found notices posted on the walls compelling depositors to give eixty days' notice before they could draw their money. Great indignation was caused by these notices. Threats were made, but as these were of no avail the crowd went away in an ugly mood. Slight runs were also made on the South Brooklyn Savings institution and on the Dime Savings bank. UPPER SANDUSKY, O., July 31.-The Wyandotte County bank went into the hands of 8 receiver this morning. The bank officials claim the assets are sufficient to pay depositors three times over.

Pendleton Savings Bank Suspends. A notice on the doors of the Pendleton Savings bank announced the temporary suspension of that institution. When the tumble occurred among the Portland banks some anxiety was expressed regarding the Savings bank. Information has been given out that the suspension was temporary. Mr. R. M. Cox said: We have temporarily suspended because of inability to collect at this time matured notes due us, owing to the general stringency, and expect to be able to resume* within a very short period. The bank's assets are in round numbers $250,000, and the liabilities, other than the stock holders, $135,000. The management thought it best to temporarily suspend rather than push collections and force the people who owe us to make undue sacrifices.

The Pendleton Savings Bank. A new feature of a closed bank's methods presented itself in the United States court today, says the Portland Telegram. Hon. L. B. Cox, attorney for the receiver of the Pendleton Savings bank, appeared before Judge Bellinger this morning and asked for an order to the effect that the receiver could loan some of the bank's money on hand, in order to make another good loan. It seems that a farmer who raises wheat on an extensive scale owes the bank the money due on a good sized note. He has a big crop, and can pay the amount when he realizes on it; but has no money with which to move it or pay the hands. By this order the bank advances the necessary money, and hopes in that way to get returns soon on the whole indebtedness. The request was granted and the order issued.

It Should be Opened. The sooner the Pendleton Savings bank is opened the better it will be for Pendleton, for the people and for the depositors. If the bank stays in the hands of the receiver all the notes due the bank will have to be collected by action in courts and the depositors will not receive all their money within anything like the time stated in the propisition to reopen the bank. In truth, if the bank is not reopened, not only will the depositors have to do without their money but those who owe the bank will be put to much expense and in many instances be made bankrupt by enforced collection of their obligations due the bank. It would mean much hardship and would result in great loss to many worthy men who cannot stand to be pressed and made to pay at the present time.-E. O.

Farmer of Oregon, Arraigned for Incest, Skips Out. APPEAL AGAINST CIGARETTES. The Folsom Prison Directors Take Their First Action Under the California Parole. About 1000 bales of Lane county's hops are yet unsold. December 15 at 1 P. M. is the hour set for the Oregon Pacific sale. Another 4000 clean-up has come into Baker from the Monumental. The Pendleton Savings Bank has resumed with increased capital. Some 170,000 mutton sheep have been shipped from The Dalles in 1893. Snow is six inches deep on the moun-tain road from Linn county over into Crook. Prineville for the first time in six years could not hold a public school this winter. "John the Baptist," a 156-pound black mastiff of Scio, has been bought by a Sacramento man. J. T. Cargill and Alexander McKenzie, of Pendleton, have assigned to Senator Raley. Assets and liabilities are about even. The shores of the Columbia along by The Dalles are thickly lined with wood piled high, in anticipation of a cold winter. Attorney-General Chamberlain is said to be pushing the case of the state against Baker county for the payment of taxes. The young man in the Salem boarding house who would rather pray than eat, was sent to the asylum. Such reflections on the great American boarding house must be punished. At Portland the United States grand jury has returned an indictment against E. Brighton on the charge of smuggling 72 five-tael cans of opium. Brighton was placed under arrest. John Savage, a farmer, was arraigned in the circuit court at Corvallis on a charge of incest. His 17-year-old daughter is the victim. When confronted by her two aunts with their suspicions she confessed the facts, and declared the intimacy had existed for several years. Savage fled before the court convened. The evidence was very strong against him. It is possible that Mansen, who was arrested for opium smuggling, is the same Mansen ho led little boys at Vancouver, B. C., into committing burgiaries. The boy Radalet has admitted that the person who took him into Mr. Sharpe's house was a man and not a boy of 15, as first described. He says he was afraid to tell the truth until sure that Mansen was out of the country. C. Noley, of Vancouver, B. C., has written to the city council begging them for God's sake and humanity's sake to enforce the law against the sale of cigarettes to minors. He says he is driven to ask them to do this by the fact that his son, 10 years old, has been driven crazy through smoking cigarettes, and he says he knows of several other cases. He says cigarette smoking and unnamable practices are rampant in the city schools. The game law made by the last legislature of Oregon, only allows grouse, pheasants, quail, etc., to be sold in the market one month in the year.

APPEAL AGAINST CIGARETTES. The Folsom Prison Directors Take Their First Action Under the California Parole. About 1000 bales of Lane county's hops are yet unsold. December 15 at 1 P. M. is the hour set for the Oregon Pacific sale. Another $4000 clean-up has come into Baker from the Monumental. The Pendleton Savings Bank has resumed with increased capital. Some 170,000 mutton sheep have been shipped from The Dalles in 1893. Snow is six inches deep on the mountain road from. Linn county over into Crook. Prineville for the first time in six years could not hold a public school this winter. "John the Baptist," a 156-pound black mastiff of Scio, has been bought by a Sacramento man. J. T. Cargill and Alexander McKenzie, of Pendleton, have assigned to Senator Raley. Assets and liabilities are about even. The shores of the Columbia along by The Dalles are thickly lined with wood piled high, in anticipation of a cold winter. C. Noley, of Vancouver, B. C., has written to the city council begging them for God's sake and humanity's sake to enforce the law against the sale of cigarettes to minors. He says he is driven to ask them to do this by the fact that his son, 10 years old, has been driven crazy through smoking cigarettes, and he says he knows of several other cases. He says cigarette smoking and unnamable practices are rampant in the city schools. The game law made by the last legislature of Oregon, only allows grouse, pheasants, quail, etc., to be sold in the market one month in the year. During this month, which expired on the 15th inst., dealers accumulated a stock of Mongolian pheasants in cold storage. Now Fish and Game Protector McGuire will commence suit to prevent dealers from selling birds from cold storage. He tried the same thing last spring in regard to salmon and the dealers won in the supreme court. They look on the new suit as merely intended to make fees and costs. Ground has been broken for the Ann Hathaway cottage at the Midwinter Fair, which will be the British headquarters. The site is on the south arm of the fair grounds, which extends along the borders of Strawberry lake on the south. The grounds will be laid out in an artistic manner, and as nearly identical with old English ideas and practices as possible. The box hedges have already been arranged for, and on the quaintly designed flower beds will be planted marigolds, daffodils, sweet Williams, lads and lasses, and other flowers that Shakespeare knew. In the superior court at San Francisco C. A. Spreckels and H. M. Wooley have commenced suit against the Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Company. The suit is for an accounting of all moneys and property in possession of the corporation. An order is asked for restraining the defendant from transacting any business. The plaintiffs also ask for the appointment of a receiver to assume control of the company's affairs. The complaint at the same time makes serious charges of fraud and other irregularities. There is involved about $1,000,000. The clearance sale of stallions and brood mares from the San Simeon stud of the late Senator Hearst took place recently. A great number of breeders were in attendance. The average price was the largest ever realized at such a sale in California. Paloma, the dam of Armitage, brought $7500, the highest price. Coset, a chestnut mare, brought $5000. Surnam, a bay horse, brought $3600. Forty-two head brought a total of $40,721, an average a little short of $970. The average was reduced by the sale of one or two crippled animals and an old mare or two. Really well bred mares averaged about $1500. A special from Folsom, Cal., says the prison directors, at a meeting Saturday, took their first action under the parole law. A prisoner under sentence from Shasta county for murder was granted a parole, and John Mackey will give him employment and be responsible for him. A Pitt river Indian chief was also paroled. He was sentenced for killing a medicine man who had failed to cure his (the chief 's) brother. This was the custom of the tribe, but the people of Modoc wanted to put a stop to it and caused the chief to be arrested and prosecuted. The superior judge and others, believing the desired end to have been reached, recommended the chief 's parole. The application of Calvin Pratt, the embezzler, was referred by Gevernor Markham to the board. Poatt was called before the directors, but declining to state where the money is and referring to serve the remaining two
