that opposed the arrangement Mosher was influential enough with the powers that be at Washington to have the order rescinded. Already in a Tight Place. His opposition to the project was based on the fact that if Lincoln was made a reserve city right away the banks would have been compelled under the law to increase their reserves from 15 per cent to 25 per cent. The Capital National was already pressed for funds to meet the ordinary requirements of business and consequently was in no position to increase its reserve. The directors of the broken bank are C. W. Mosher, C. E. Yates, H. J. Walsh, Henry Guerner and R. O. Phillips. The officers are: C. W. Mosher, president. and J. Walsh, vice president; R. C. Outcalt, cashier. Among the stockholders are the Putnam estate, the Funke estate and the Holmes estate. and the trust money held in Escro by D. L. Thomson. The directors who retired at the last election were A. P. Stewart and D. E. Thomson. To Avoid a Run. A meeting of the bankers of this city was held at the Lincoln this evening to discuss the situation. It was feared that the trouble would precipitate a run on some of the other banks tomorrow morning and one of the first things done was . to make arrangements to prevent it. The Omaha banks were called on and they immediately responded by sending a representative on a special engine to assure the bankers here that every courtesy would be extended and that all needed assistance to meet any run that might take place would be forthcoming. How the State Stands. Secretary of State Allen stated tonight that the special bond given by the Capital National bank was approved by ex-Governor Boyd. Attorney General Hastings and the secretary of state. As to the amount of money that was on deposit with the Capital National bank, State Auditor Moore said the treasurer told him a day or two ago that it was about $250,000, or $75,000 more than there was on the 30th of November, when the report was made at the end of the fiscal year. The situation will undoubtedly result in the appointment of a special committee by the legislature to investigate matters.

BIG INTEREST. How Deposits Were Drawn to the Capitol National Bank. LINCOLN, Jan. 23.-The Capitol National Bank failure is the sole topic of conversation. Hundreds of people surrounded the bank all morning, but the doors remained tightly closed. The bank numbers thousands of depositors and many of small means. They will lose $500 to $2000 each. Their savings were drawn to the bank by the payment of 6 per cent interest. A committee of the bankers of the city was in consultation all night concerting means to prevent undue excitement and a run en the other institutions. President McFarland of the First National said to-day he believed the bank would pay all depositors in full, but the stockholders would be compelled to put up a large amount. The immediate cause of the failure was the fact that the State Treasurer notified the Capitol National that he should require $100,000 within the week. Treasurer Bartley arrived this morning. He states that inasmuch as the Governor, Secretary of State and Attorney-General approved the bond of Mosher and Cutwelt for $700,000, under the law which went into effect when he took charge of the State funds, he and his bondsmen are released from all liability, which will fall upon the State. The official findings in the matter of the failure will not be ready for several days and possibly a week. The directors held a meeting this morning. but the result of their deliberations was not made public. Moser, the president of the bank, is out of at he will the city, but no one doubts return within a day or two.

FAILURES. LOUISIANA, Mo., Feb. 23.-John W. Fritz failed today. His liabilities are $35,000 and his assets $32,000. He gave a deed of trust on all his property to Taylor Frier, trustee, for the benefit of his creditors. Too much wheat speculation is the cause. ATLANTA. Ga., Feb. 23. - Bank Examiner Williams assumed charge of the Gate City National bank today. The latest developments put the amount of the defalcation of Assistant Cashier Redwine at $70,000. President Hall says that the depositors will be paid in full. The bank owes depositors $800,000. LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. - -The state banking board has taken charge of the Farmers and Merchants bank at Elk Creek, whose affairs are in a bad shape. The true condition of the concern cannot be learned now. The deposits are not large. Cashier Holmes is under arrest. ST. PAUL, Minw., Feb. 23.-An assignment deed of the Baupre Mercantile company to Theodore Borup was filed in the district court this afternoon. The firm, which is old and prominent, at last succumbed to adverse circumstances which have been gathering around it for a long time. The members will make no state. ment, but from outside sources it is learned that the failure is a general one; that there are nopreferences, and that no releases from creditors would be req uested. The assets foot up about $200,000, while the liabilities approximate $400,000. LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 23.-Another lot of forged paper, aggregating $200,000, has been brought to light in the Capital National bank case. One batch of the notes, now in the hands of attorneys for collection for eastern banks, amounting to $175,000, is signed by an employer of Mosher's, named Hurlbuti and indorsed by Mosher as president of the bank. They were floated by Mosher and the money sequestered by him. Mosher admits that he got the cash, but refuses to say where any of it went. It is now stated by conservative men who are intimate with the affairs of the institution that the bank's liabilities exceed $1,200,000, with the assets practically nothing. It is not expected that the bank will pay 10 cents on the dollar. The Lincoln business men who have had faith in the statement that a full settlement would be made, are greatly excited tonight. It has also come out that the amount of county and city funds on deposit is- greatly in excess of what was at first given out. NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-It is rumored that a receiver will be appointed tomorrow for the United States and Brazil Steamship company, of which C. P. Huntington is one of the directors.

TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. A run was made on the Plankinton, Wis., bank to-day, but money was sent by a special train from Chicago which reassured the deposits. One thousand women of Owensboro, Ky., have banded together and pledg. ed themselves to wage a continuous crusade against the liquor dealers and manufacturers of that city. A watchman named Humbach has confessed that he set fire to the new Methodist church in Scranton, Pa., recently erected at a cost of over $172.000, and which was destroyed by fire Two men suppposed to be those who robbed the Mobile and Ohio express car ou the night of the 11th, were arrested at Barkley, Ky., and taken to Laketon last night. The grand jury at Chattanooga, Tenn., yesterday returned twenty-five indictments against citizens alleged to have been concerned in the lynching of Alfred Blount, a negro, who outraged an aged white woman. There is a prospect of a duel between Colonel Louis J. Brumby, aged 21, editor of the Free Press, and Colonel Thomas Harris, aged 45, editor of the New Capital, of Ocala, Fla., a challenge having been sent and accepted. C. W. Mosher, who as president of the Capital National Bank, of Lincoln, Neb., wrecked that institution some months since, causing a loss of more than $1,000,000, made his escape from the custody of the U.S marshal last night.

For a long time a feud has existed between members of rival mining camps in the Sierra Madre mountains, sixty miles east of Mazatlan, Mex. A few night ago, an employe from each camp met on the narrow mountain road. One threw the other over a precipice and he was dashed to pieces on the rocks below. The fatal encounter led to a general conflict between the two camps Thursday, in which ten men were killed and a number badly wounded. Deputy.Sheriff C. B. Schutts, of Grand county, N. M., was murdered by three Mexican prisoners whom he was conveying to jail at Silver City yesterday. B. B. Bowenby, another deputy, was hit but escaped unhurt.

Bank runs are almost always and everywhere a deterioration of bank fundamentals.
But not for you.
You are the measure-zero exception: great fundamentals, solid bank, and yet the Diamond Dybvig fairy spread its rumor. Depositors woke up. Your collateral was not prepositioned. The Clearinghouse had it for you.
Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Go directly to jail… or worse.
