Suspension at Fort Scott

FORT SCOTT, Kan., July 19.-The First National bank of this city, the oldest financial institution in Southeastern Kansas, has suspended payment.

Article Text

One large national bank in Kansas City failed Saturday, another on Monday and a few small institutions besides. In Denver three savings banks failed on Monday and as a result of the Kansas City failures, banks at Johnson City, Weir City, Pleasanton, Caney, Colombus, Meade Center and Armourdale suspended. Of all these disasters the Wichita Eagle, the the great daily newspaper, through which the people are supposed to get their news of events transpiring, published only an obscure item about the failure in Kansas City of the Missouri National. Perhaps the associated press failed to hear it. It is no wonder that they do not like to record the workings of the glorious system. The people have a right to know these things and they ought to profit by them. Government depositories will not be very far in the future. LATER.-On Tuesday three National and one private bank in Denver, the First National bank of Ft. Scott, a national bank in Ohio and one in Georgia, all failed, but not a line did the Eagle print about it. There may be still other failures as the associated press seems to be surpressing the reports.

President J. A. Thacher of the clear-house said: "I am confident today will see the worst of this and the people wil will come to their senses. At a meeting of the clearing house last night we decided we could not help the banks and so some of them have gone to the wall.

The Union National bank, which failed, has a capital of $1,000,000. No statement yet.

RUNS ON ALL OF THEM.

A run is now being made on the City Nationsl, German National, First National, Colorado National and all of the eleven clearing house banks. A panic is now on.

DENVER, Col., July 19.-No such scene was ever witnessed in all the west as could be seen here Tuesday morning shortly after 10 o'clock, when the banks were supposed to open their doors for business The failure of three savings banks Tuesday had excited the masses and the streets were crowded with anxious depositors. The eleven clearing-house banks, located within four blocks of each other, were surrounded, and far into the streets the crowd gathered until officers and special police were called out to clear the way for traffic. STARTED THE RUN. The Union national, with a capital of $1,000,000, posted a notice that they would not open their doors. This started the panic, and, following quickly, the Commercial national posted a similar notice and then the National bank of commerce. The Commercial national bank closed its doors within a few minutes after opening, for it became apparent from the size of the crowd in front of the bank that a run was to be inaugurated. The bank was in bad shape. It has a capital stock of $250,000 and only had $2,000 in cash in the bank. The Mercantile bank, a private institution, with a capital stock of $100,000, closed its doors at noon. The failure was caused by the failure of the Union national bank, through which it cleared. BUSINESS HOUSES CLOSED. The McNamara Dry Goods company, one of the largest institutions of the kind, failed Tuesday morning. The liabilities are placed at $260,000. The failure was brought on by an attach ment served at 1 o'clock Tuesday morning by the Union national bank, which failed to open its doors, for $71,780, and the Colorado national for $20,847.

KANSAS STATE NEWS

Wichita is about to proceed against physicians who failed to observe the rules of the board of health. All the firemen of Salina have resigned because one of the papers scored them for their conduct July 4. Claude Stewart, a convict in the penitentiary, made his escape the other day. He had only about eight months to serve. Six Kansas banks, located at as many towns, failed on the 17th as a result of the suspension of the Kansas City National bank. The financial flurry resulted in the suspension of the Northrup bank at Kansas City, Kan., and also the Armourdale bank. "Miss Jones," who wrote that silly letter to Chief Justice Horton, is pronounced by a private letter received at Topeka to be a lunatic. Among the banks carried down by the late storm were the First national and the People's savings at Fort Scott. A run on the other banks, however, was promptly met. Albert May, a tough character, was detected in the act of breaking into a store at Leavenworth the other night and captured by a citizen who brought him to time with a revolver. Twenty-one military convicts from Fort Sully,1 were recently brought to Fort Leavenworth and placed in the military prison. Most of them were sent in for desertion and theirsentences range from one to five years. A dispatch received at Leavenworth a few days ago stated that the board of managers of soldiers' homes had exonerated Gov. A. J. Smith, of the home at Leavenworth, and recommended the removal of Surgeon J. L. Weaver. A. L. Davis, an express messenger on the Santa Fe, was killed the other morning at Hunnewell. He was leaning out of the car too far and was struck on the head by a coal chute, which threw him under the moving train. Joseph Ebler was terribly mutilated with a razor while stupified by liquor, at his home in Kansas City, Kan., the other night and bled to death. His wife is under arrest charged with the crime. Ebler was 30 years of age and his wife 49. The state board of railroad commissioners has concluded the hearing of testimony in the case of the city of Wichita against the railroad companies centering there. The board has fixed August 10 as the day for hearing final arguments in the case. Attorney-General Little stated recently that his attention had been called to the fact that railroad companies were operating coal mines in violation of their charters, and that he proposed to institute an investigation with a view of forcing a forfeiture of the charters of such companies as are engaged in the coal business. The attorney-general has directed Secretary of State Osborn not to charter any more "bond investment" companies. Several of these concerns are already in operation. They promise to make people rich in a short time, but people who have investigated their manner of doing business claim they cannot do what they promise. During the financial flurry J. D. Carter, a stockman, drew his balance, amounting to over $700, from one of the banks at Wichita. Taking his money home in the country, he deposited it in a fruit jar, and this he hid in a strawstack in his corral. A few nights later the stack was struck by lightning and the money went up in smoke. Horace Rennie, of Springfield, Mo., died suddenly about 2 o'elock the other morning at a hotel in Wichita. He ararrived on a visit the day before and in the evening retired in apparent good health. Just before his death he awoke his wife and said he was ill, and a few minutes later died. A post mortem examination showed that death resulted from organic heart disease. The state campaign on behalf of the equal suffrage amendment to the constitution will be inaugurated at Kansas City, Kan., on the 29th and 30th of September, under the auspices of the woman's rights association. The various committees of the association will continue the campaign vigorously from that date until the November election, and will have the assistance of the most noted suffragists in the United States. Warden Chase, of the penitentiary, has completed a report of the habits and inclinations of the inmates of that institution, which shows some queer facts. There are more country boys than town boys. They are divided thus: City, 270; town, 157; country, 281. Profanity is common among 538 of the convicts, while 170 do not swear. Seven hundred and six want to reform and one says he does not. Three hundred and fifty-six say they were led to crime through drink. Tobacco is used by 603 of the men there, while 104 neither smoke nor chew.

Parkinson, of the Parkinson sugar works at Fort Scott, announces that the institution will begin this season's operation about the middle of August. The cane crop will be larger than ever before. The machinery is now being put in condition, and the yield of sugar is expected to exceed that of any previous season. Topeka Journal: Will Kent, a member of the street commissioner's force, made a record for himself. After he was through work for the day he went seven miles into the country to see his best girl. He was married there, and returned to Topeka bringing his household goods with him that night. The next morning he reported to work, without having lost an hour by the nuptials. Edward Shaw, a 17-year-old boy, died at Effingham, Atchison county, from the effects of an accident. The boy was engaged in repairing the roof of his father's hardware store, when he slipped and fell a distance of twenty feet, alightting upon the iron shaft of a pump, which was driven through his body. After the accident he started to walk home, but fell before he reached the house. His remains were taken to Beloit, Kan., where he formerly resided, for burial. Lawrence Jeffersonian: The old Judge Wakefield farm, on which was built the first good house in Douglass county and planted the first orchard, was sold lately for $20 per acre. Judge Wakefield settled on this place early in June, 1854, and built a large house which was burned with all its contents by the border ruffians September 1st, 1856, soon after which the Judge erected the present stone dwelling, which was headquarters for the free state men in the early days. Topeka Journal: Mrs. Emma D. Pack, supervisor at the insane asylum and editor of the Farmer's Wife, started from the asylum with her horse and surrey. About twenty rods from the asyInm barn two of the wheels, one front wheel and the opposite hind wheel came off, throwing her out and bruising her quite badly but not seriously. The burrs had been removed by some one connected with the asylum. Dr. Eastman, the superintendent, is doing all he can to find the guilty parties. The First National bank of Fort Scott the oldest banking institution in southeastern Kansas, has suspended payment. The following notice was posted in the windows: "Owing to a steady withdrawal of deposits and our inability to collect our assets, we deem it to be for the best interests of all concerned that this bank be temporarily closed. The assets are more than three times the amount of the liabilities, and depositors will lose nothing." The failure had no immediate effect upon the other banks. Kinsley Mercury: The storm caused considerable damage both in town and north of here. Jake Schmidt's large barn was partly unroofed. J. K. Miller's barn was broken in two, and whileit is yet standing it is in an unsafe condition. His cow stable and corral was entirely destroyed, and his windmill a new one was broken off at the top. One thousand dollars will not repair the damage he suffered. It is reported that Geo. Matheny's barn was blown to fragments and several other buildings were more or less injured. Jewell City Republican: Mr. and Mrs. Ed Weno's little girls, Edna and Ada, were playing in the grove near the house, and Will Glover's little boy was with them. The children were having a good time, when the Glover boy in sport picked up a common puff ball and while Ada was laughing he puffed it into her mouth.
