The bank was established in 1874, and has always done a large banking business. Information as to the cause of the as­ signment seems hard to get. President H. M. Ayres and Vice President Potter have nothing to say, and Cashier Spon- sterisnotto be found. J. B. Brodnix is the assignee. Several township treasurers are caught. BETWEEN 300 and 400 delegates were on hand when the big reciprocity con­ vention was called to order in the Audi­ torium Building at St. Paul.

The reso­ lutions cover only the subjects of reci­ procity, deepwater ways and transpor­ tation. CHICAGO business men, according to the best advices, coincide in the opinion that there is nothing in the local finan­ cial situation to warrant any sort of panic. They have the utmost confi­ dence in the solidity of the banks and their ability to successfully with­ stand the causeless runs that are being made upon them by timid depositors. Not one of the institutions that have closed their doors belonged to the Clear­ ing-House Association. Most of them were banks in name only, their business being mainly in the line of note and loan brokerage and real estate deals. They had no standinc of consequence in the commercial world and were not con­ sidered first-class in any respeet. Their failure occasioned little surprise in financial circles and should cause the public no alarm. That the seeming panic that bad seized the savings banks depositors is entirely sense­ less and is without cause or founda­ tion is proved by the utter calm that marKS the general trend of business an'd the absence of all anxiety or flurry in other branches of the banking business. Men at once very wealthy- end very conservative see no danger in the existing financial and commer­ cial conditions. Every bunk in Chicago has on hand cash enough to meet all demands, and has, besides, immense resources upon which to draw. The disturbance of the past few djtys is confined entirely to a small percentage of savings depositors. SOUTHBRKT IT has developed in the trial at Chat­ tanooga.

The President further said: , While there has been no issystery or secrecy in regard to my intention In thie matter I think it not amiss that our people fhcraki be informed authoritatively that the time Is at linnet when their representatives ir Congress will be called npon to deal with a ikumcial condition which ia the only menace to the country'* welfare and prosperity, lt Is well tor the people to take np the Mubieet for themselves, andarrive attheirown oomlugions as to the merit# of a financial policy which oblipes us t© jmrcliaee idle, silver bullion with fcoM tf.ken fro«n p«ar refewe.

I think that be­ tween now and the mectinc: of Cordless much depends upon the action of these en- g^ced in financial operations and business enterprises. Our vast national resources and credit are abundantly sufficient to justify them in the utmost faith and' confi­ dence. If instead of being friffhteaed they are conservative, and if instead of gloomily anticipating immediate disaster they contribute their share of hope and steadiness, they will perform a patriotic duty and at the same time protect their »wn Interest. The thing* just now me*ced are coolness and calmness in financial circiee, and study and reflection among our people.

TEE first aocepted expression since he was suspended for heresy by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church is the letter published in the Evangelist, a religious newspaper which may be regarded as an organ of the Briggs wing of the Presbyterian Church. In his letter Dr. Briggs eays no one should feel obliged to retire from the Presbyterian Church on ac­ count of the decision of the last As­ sembly. A minority of the church, he says, has violated the constitution and overridden the eafeguards of Presby­ terian law and precedent The majority should rally and use every lawful method 1o undo the damage which has been done to the fair fame of Presby- terianism. THE sensation of the hour in Montreal (Que.) political circles is the report that the Quebec Government has de­ cided to sell or lease the Jesuit estates throughout the province to a syndicate from Montreal and Quebec. A low estimate of the value of the whole prop­ erty places It at considerably over $1,000,000, while there is said to be due to it for arrears of rent nearly $200,000, and it is claimed that the Government is making a deal with eome of its polit­ ical friends whereby to reap a benefit. This the Government denies, but it is positively asserted that a well-known Quebec man has already been selected to act as administrator of the new syn­ dicate, and certain law firms In Quebec and Montreal are fixed upon Ao conduct its legal business.

However you come, whether for profit or the pleasures of sight-seeing, your Eurpose will be defeated if a hap- azard method is follow. d. Before you leave home read up on the fair. A cata­ logue is a very good thing in the* Fine Arts Building', or If you are making a study of a special line of exhibits, otherwise it serves but to pile up your mind with useless lumber. Decide upon What you want to see before you come at, all, and see that firsts Eijieh day have a clearly defined idea of What you want to do and how to do it with the least ex­ pense of time and energy. Don't be di­ verted from your purpose by the thour sand and one distractions that will beset you on every side, for the World's Fair "will have maijy gorgeous and ab­ sorbing tale3 to tell, ana each will in­ sidiously suggest another, as they did in the fertile brain of Scheherazade. You have to consider that the World's Columbian Exposition is & great city in itself, that extends over an area of 500 acres and measures a mile and a half within its northern and southern limits; a city laid out on such spacious lines that to cover its streets and Waterways Is a day's journey; a city ideally planned, where every house is a palace enriched beyond description within and without, and to any and all of which might be applied the name bestowed .on S t . P e t e r ' s i n " T h s M a r b l e F a d n a great jewel casket. " ^ Don't Ke Temp:eel Aside. The buildings will seem huddled to­ gether inoonsequently to the visitor who oomes upon them unprepared. The vastnees of the Fair, the distances lent by the fine study of perspective, and the endless succession of beautiful vis'.as IWrANTR* CAMP NEAR RABiOfe and detail will bewilder the senses so that you are likely to leave lt all con- jfused and dazzled as if you had been lost in an Oriental lab} rinth. You will be enraptured by a hundred things. A noble dome wrought In a sad sincerity, a classic oolonnade, a bridge like the Bridge of Sighs, a statue, fountain, fresco, some untold wonder of flori­ culture, a roof of red Spanish tiles, a cluster of aerial minarets, or a glimpse of the Midway Plalsance, that, like the green fairy of absinthe, is not to ba looked upon and resisted. Then there will be the babel of strange tongues and the briberies of foreign wares and un­ holy rites and customs to beguile you from your purpose. A strong temptation will be upon you to see the whole fairgrounds the first day, or rather to drift whithersoever the fancy of the moment listeth--a temptation that I am not sure I should be able to resist, but one to which it would not be wise to yield unless you have at least a month for your visit. Let the wonders untoii themselves in sections for the traditional nine days, and on the tenth day bind the fragments of your impressions together by taking the grand tour. Study the plan of the grounds as a lesson at school, and the arrangements apparently so complex will be seen to be very simple and easily divisible into groups, taking any point as a center. The west boundary fine of Jackson Park is pierced by gates at every street, so that to reach the most remote part of the fair It is necessary to walk only the width of the grounds. On the lake front the entrance is at the south end through the casino. On the first day of a visit to the Fair, or If I had but one day, I should go by water, see the great statue of the re­ public from the long pier, walk to the arch in the middle of the peristyle that connects the casino with the Music Hall and look up the fcrand court. This is the Arc de Triomph of the exposition. On the top of it a colossal group repre- will eomeupoa Jroats* gorgeous tor- prise. After the white Wonders ol the grand court, the warm terra cotta walls, brilliant frescoing of the frieze, bronzed statuary, series of ornate arches of Bomanesque design, and the glory of the golden door will seem «n opulent dream that runs the whole chromatio in riotous splendor. This is beautifully set off by the greenery in the horticultural hall to the north and the architectural scheme of the west side of the lagoon is com­ pleted in the classic repose of the woman's building. To these last two seems to belong especially the sylvan beauties of the wooded island with its hunters' ".amp, odorous rose garden and the almost feminine delicacy of treatment of the Japanese phoenix palace. The fourth groiip lies at the north end of the lagoon, and inoludes the THE, ROLLER CHAI& beautiful Spanish Bomanesque fisheries building, whose exterior is a joy for­ ever; the Government building directly south of lt, with Uncle Sam's interest­ ing exhibit, and the curious headquar­ ters of all foreign countries along the northeast shore. There remains then to be seen the Fine Arts Building with the headquar­ ters of the States grouped about lt and the Midway Plaisance, in which, in your least responsible hours, you may find endless diversion, eat heathen fare and part with much money. For the Mid­ way Plaisance will be like the Joppa gate of Jem Salem when the Nazarenes wont up to pay their taxes; the tax gatherers will be there also. These suggestions are for the great majority who, ha\ ing no special object in view, would see the most In a limited time. Just the seeing of it in this way will be a liberal education of all the faculties, and to many some dormant tal­ ent will coma out and give to life a more absorbing interest. The student will follow a different method and like a bee find the flowers whose honey Is for him, scattered though they are over the Wide field of the Fair. > LaAt Day's Grand Tonr. Having seen lt all in sections, sys­ tematically, on the day you pay your last visit bind the fragments of your impressions together by taking the grand tour. Get a bird's-eye view from the elevatea railway, another from the Ferris wheel on the plaisance; another out over the lake and along the shore from the roof garden of the Casino. See It all from below; from the canopied cushions of a gondola or the deck of a steam launch. Take your morning cof­ fee in Constantinople, on the plaisance, your noon lunch at the Japanese tea house, your dinner at the Casino, and watch the lights of a myriad gay water craft flash back from the ripples.

Later dispatches fully eon Arm the first reports as to the extent of the dis­ astrous conflagration at Fargo, Nort i Dakota. Over half the city was laid in waste by the destructive element. The flames were not got under control until after 3 o'clock the following morning. Thirty-five stores and business blocks and 228 residences were burned, enta 1- ing a loss of fully $}.2"0,0i0. Three thousand people are homeless, anr.l all the churches, school houses and public buildings left standing are being used as places of shelter. The good women of the town whose houses escaped turned out in briuades and organized to feed the unfortunate ones. The fire was started by hot ashes from the (Jem restaurant thrown out behind, ignltlne some loose paper back of Hoseman's dry goods store. Some­ body left the front door open. Inside of three minutes the wind had driven the flames through the building and burst out of the roof. During the next fifteen minutes the flames ran two blocks west, taking brick buildings and all, then jumped across the street to MastlU's big machinery warehouse con-i ta ning $9,u00 worth of twine and $5,000? machinery. North and east of this for two blocks each way are the big ma­ chinery depots, mostly two-story wooden buildings, and at this time of the year ate filled to the roof with a year's supply of farm machinery for North Dakota. lor perhaps a quarter of an hour the iiremen kept the flames from jumping the rail­ road track; then first on one roof, then another, tongues of fame broke out as whirling fire iiakes settled on the shin­ gles. Inside ha!f an hour the whole space for four bi cks was a whirlwind of flame. The only machinery houses saved are the Waiter A. Wood and Moni­ tor Press Drill. Both were on fire sev­ eral times, but the flrem n m<ide a stub­ born fight and managed to arrest the flames, so preventing them spreading east to Moorhead. The firemen now tried to confine the flames south of Northern Pacific avenue, tut the <wind was carrying einders a couple of blocks. Cole's stable caught fire and the opera- house block soon followed; while the Grand hotel was burning on the oast. An eddy of wind sent the flames over toward Front stteet, carrying everything in their path. The dames then took a shoot north toward the Great Northern freight depot, burning the new Method­ ist Church on Bobert street, and a large number of residences and small stores. The secret societies su iered severely. The Masons, Templars, Knights of Pythias, Knights of Honor, Odd-Fel- lows, Cantons, Rebeivahs, Grand Army, United Workmen, and Woodmen all lost the.r halls, with nearly all their prop­ erty. Every opeft space is filled with oonfused collections of household goods, buggiee, merchandise, legal libraries, etc., hurriedly carried ther^. The militia was called ou^ and placed on duty to guard property as much as pos­ sible. All night the people were in a panic, as the flames seemed not to diminish, while the sky was lit by the great flames making the night almost as light ns day. The relief corps organized re­ ceived many reports of people who are missing, and without doubt it will de­ velop that a number of lives have been lost. Six persons are reported killed.

Make your flnst enhance here and your last exit and you will have two piotures hung on the walls of memory that will never fade. _ It is the Venice of the days when the Doge wedded the sea at his feet with a golden ring. Befpre you is a basin of water ten acres In extent, with shelv­ ing banks of green turf and broad flights of steps that lead up to palaces so vast, so white, of such aeiial grace that they seem to be of the stuff that dreams are made. At the farthest end, completing the lnclosure of this Venetian grand Canal, Is the architectural glory of the World's Fair--the lofty golden dome of the Administration Building, piercing a sky blue as lapiz lazuli. On the one side stretch the Corinthian columns of the Liberal Arts Building, arid on the other the renaissance facade of the Agricult­ ural Hall, with the St Gardens Diana poised on the dome. East of this, on a little promontory, is the ancient mon­ astery of La Babida, with its historical treasures. Beyond there are glimpses of other palaces and of bridges span­ ning the streets of water between. Oiuries T<Ucen tn <>roui«.

Judges Woods and Jenkins, constitut­ ing a ma ority of the United States Court considering the case of the United States against the World's Columbian Exposition, rendered decisions in favor of granting an injunction compelling the local directory to close the World's Fair on Sundays. Judge GrosscuD dissented from this find­ ing, and Edwin Walker, counsel for the Exposition companv, prays for an ap­ peal from the decision oi the majority of the court. This appeal is based on the allegation that the decisions of Judges Woods and Jenkins, especially the one of Judge Jenkins, go far be­ yond the mere matter of Sunday open­ ing or closing, establishes new liabili- I ties for the looal directory and should be considered at once by the Court of { Appeals. When the judges took their feeats on the bench It was evident, according to a Chieftgo correspondent, that they were divided in opinion. Judge Woods said as much when he announced: "Each judge will give his decision &ep- arately," and then proceeded to deliver his own.. Judge Woods held in favor of granting the injunction on the ground that the United States Government is In actual possession of Jackson Park, and Congress has a right to pas* any law regarding tbe conduot of the Fair it may think best. He thought that the act of establishing the Fair made it a national institution, and that when the State Legislature of Illinois and the South Park Commissioners af­ terward legislated go as to allow tbe use of Jackson Park, they did It with a full knowledge of this fact. The peo­ ple of the State of Illinois satisfied the legislative action by voting to allow Chicaco to issue bonds in aid of the Fair, so that the Legislature, the Park Commissioners, and the people them­ selves all united to give the use of Jack- eon Park to the Fair after the General Government had established that Fair as a national enterprise. On these grounds Judge Woods held that when the Local Directory last fall tendered Jackson Park to the National Commissioners as the representatives of the United Sta'es Government it tendered the actual possession of the park, and the present temporary title to the park is now in the United States. Having this title Congress has the right to pass any law it pleases regarding Sunday opening, and also can go into a court of equity to enforce its riglpt. . f':' ClfY '8 ANNUAL PAjbAGE* tihmjwfl Preparation* An Mn§ VkA$tM| tbe Annual Cora Flateee at Sleux CUT, Iowa--Will OJMMI SEJ»te*n»x»r M MMI Close October IS, SMS.

IT is known that the notorious Starr gang committed the Bentonville, Mo., tivities. With us, as with these prim­ itive people, it is the most important grain product, nearly equalling in value that of all the other cereals. It is the foundation of the marvelous prosperity and growth of the West Then it is so graceful and lends Itself so effectively to decorative purposes; Its leaves, its tassels, its ears, with their varied tints, make it unrivalled for aVtistic use. And abcye all it is always only American.

' -A.'i. But the wide Republic's emblem IB the bounteous golden corn The unique Corn Palace Festival originated by Sioux City in 1S87, has yearly grown in interest and attract­ iveness until it may now be said to be a carnival of truly national interest, lt is natural that it should be so, for the Corn Palace is symbolic of the wonder­ ful evolution of the West and replete with the life and activity of a country which has had no superior at any time or any place. Ilere an all-wise Provi­ dence has stored in the bosom of ths earth a golden reserve, to be revealed to man when the time has ripened, more precious than that which glist­ ened and shimmered in Captain Su.ter'3 mill dam and changed the history of the Pacific Coast, l or countless agea the prairie lay a vast monotone of sound and color. But at last, like the en­ chanted Princess in the fairy tale, at the kiss of the Prince, It awoke to magle life at the touch of the settlers' plow and the mellow soil yielded up its treasure of buried wealth in thousands upon thousands of rows of yellow corn. In the early days when the Indian and the bu.Talo were still lords of the prairie, the country along the Jiui, the Bi^r Sioux and the Floyd Rivers was a semi-neutral ground, where, even then, the squaws raised the winter supply of corn, and carefully "cached' it in the fall to save it from the depredations of rival tribes. Tbe red man in his wanderings had fixed with unerring inatlnct upon the region most responsive to his prifhitlye cultivation, and following in his foot­ steps the white settlers raised tbe na­ tive plant and after thirty years of cul­ ture offer the record of unfailing crops, year after year. When the perennial bounty of the crops of this region had been thus satisfactorily demonstrated, the people naturally were eager to proclaim their good fortune to the world. A sort of harvest home on a grand scale was proponed n»i'l the thought liually ma­ terialized at the first Corn Palace. The natural evolution of the idea, to­ gether with the growth of the sur­ rounding country and thecity have de­ veloped the Corn Palace frost an cxper* iment costing $-.'r>,000 to an annual car= nival not to he thought of at an expent dlturo less than Sioo.ooa Year aftei year the brains of tho management have been taxed to devise new features} year after year the ladies of tioux City have vied with each other in designing and executing as a labor of love, deco­ rations, which If performed by paid labor, would have cost thousands of dollars. The people are more enthuslastio than ever before this year, as they wish to attract the multitudes who will visit the World's Fair from all parts of this country aud from foreign lands. The Corn Palace Fes­ tival will begin September 20, continu­ ing until (etober 1?'. inclusive, and every nerve will.be strained to make it the culmination of all previous seasons, as Sioux City people have a reputation to maintain as the originators of the most distinct National Carnival of the country, which they expect te triumph­ antly vindicate in this World's Fair Year. Those who have attended any of tbe Corn Palace Festivals ef previous years do not need to be reminded what wonderful specimens of creative art they have been, and so far as they are concerned it is only necessary to add that the Palace of 1803 will eclipse its predecessors to the full extent that ex­ perience gained can add to the boauty of design and decorations, backed by tbe most generous outlay of money that has ever been made for the purpose. It will amply repay people arranging to go to the World's Fair to time their visit and route their journeys so as to include that unique festival, the Sioux City Corn Palace. Taey should bear in mind the fact that Sioux City is in the center of the greatest corn producing territory in the world--that Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota pro­ duce considerable more thanoae-fourth of the corn raised in the I nitsd States --that this change In the center of production frtom the middle West to the Missouri Vallev has been almost entirely wrought during ths past ten years; and then try to Imagine tbe won­ derful condition of commercial activity that has accompanied it. It is impos­ sible to reach anything like a true conception of "the busy West" without visiting the Sioux City Corn Palace, be­ cause in no other way can a cor­ rect iaea of the magnificent resour­ ces of this vast agricultural region and of^the genius and enterprise which has so rapidly transformed it, be obtained. The like of the Corn Palace can be seen nowhere else on the globe, and the experience of this most me­ morable year in the history of the con* tinent will be incomplete without It. The expense of attendance will be very slight, as there will be low rates from all points. Tbe Cora Palace is the a-rtistio tribute of the West to the most dis­ tinctively American plant and product which we h&vea and the tourist who goes to the World's Fair needs to visit It to understand the Great West, as In* the recreations as well as in tbe in-' i us tries of* * people are revealed ibeir social and economic conditions. -v.; sir >&-£%•>'i \ X ;
