It is now the common talk on the street! that the liabilities of the bank will reach the stupendous nam of $5,^QfiiOOO. while the assets dwindle io proportion. °lt seems a foregone oonolusion that deposi .?.jtors will get next to nothing. This is f^phe general talk, but of course, this talk £1^13 unofficial and oannct be veriQed until |'j#the bank examiner completes his work •nd makes his report. It is stated to »^day that the memorandum whioh is the .'^bobstitute for collaterals shows that Wils'aire UBed $1,000,000 of the bank's money, and that collaterals for other Sloans were hypothecated in New York and elsewhere. It is the belief of some that WilBbire aoted.as the agent of Har per in conducting the wheat deal and waafcot really a borrower. There is still talk of more arrests. The morning papers are full of matter oonneotel in various ways with the Fidelity National bank's .dosing. Among other things is the statement tbat Bank Examiner Powell on Monday Ipikftereoon demanded a statement from .'A^tbe bank, and received one,. tthowing a Vi.balance on hand of $1,160,000 of cash. pvSfil'hea oalling for a view of the money-he wJ-Vwas amazed to be ahown a lead penoil '^memoranda reading: Wiltshire, Eokert Co., $900,000 w. Wilkahire, $48, ll&'OOO, and so oa through a long list. M^.-|L'here was no collateral aeourity what "^^BV8r* ^r* Baldwin and Mr. Hopkins I*-were unable to make any explanation and Mr. Harper oould offer none. Even after this, it is said, the offer to permit the bank to aontinun was mada if these .three men were expelled and new capital brought in. But. .when the inquiry was made ias to how much would be required the answer was a million dollars at least. That staggered the direotors, and although they' still hope to form a reorganization, it is most probable that the fear that a further examination would reveal a farther defioit deterred them. Thefaclis that Harper oonoealed from the directors his connection with the wheat deal. He is said to have admitted yesterday that he did not go into the wheat deal himself but that be honored an overdraft for Wiltshire of $i8.000 and put in the rest to save that, He ohargesthe whole, break to the action of the Chicago board of trade making all wheat regular. Mr. Engine Powell, the bank examiner, is credited with saying that the condi tion of the bank is woeful. He said it was singular how Harper had reoeived everybody about the matter. In this oonueotion it may be.reoalled that when the wheat panic occurred in Chicago and rumors were out of a run on the Fidelity bank, Mr. Harper staved repeatedly to parties .asking for information that he did not know who was in the wheat deal, and he went scalar as to say that he di'd not believe that it was managed at all in OinCinnatf, b"ut was'" conducted from California and Cleveland. More at tachments upon Harper's properly have been made and everything he has is now tied np. vj Hallway JPsatfengerg Held Up. {Detroit, June 22—An Evening Journal special from Port Huron says: This mbrning five men boarded the 1:15 Grand Trunk train, at 'Fort Gratiot, go ing east, and held up the passengers, Several lost what money they had and •one lost $160, Three men have been arretted and are now in jail here, and more arrests will probably follow.

New York, June 2l —A spooiai to the San from Washington says Colonel Wil liam Orown-in-ehield Eodicott, nominal secretary of war, reported for duty Mon day morning. After a period of seclu sion the secretary emerged: from his apartment and drove over to the white bouBe, walked up the stairs with great, dignity, carrying a great bundle of papers. In about one. minute the sec retary came down stairs again, bundle and all. There was a frown on his brow and dejeotion in bis air. He had been informed, so the report says, that the president was engaged—the old, old story that is told to the office-seekers and other unwe«#,ij!fce visitors of ten* but to Cabinet offioerB never. Eadioott got into his oarriage and wont straight to his home on Sixteenth street without returning to the department. There are many rumors afloat about the situation. One is that the president is so vexed at his secretary of war that he does not want to see him. Another is that he actually intends to freeze Eadioott out, and the third report has it tnat Endioott's resignation already has been requested. None of these stories oan be traced to any authoritative source, but tho pre diction is freely made that Endicott will be out of the oabinet within thirty days. He would have been out six mouths ago were it not for his constitutional inabili ty to take a hint, but this time it will be something more than a hint. This rebel flag business calls loudly for a vicarious saorifioe and both Endioott and Drnm mictht as well, paok their trunkB and have quarter-masters' wagons in readi ness to oart them off.

Two or three years ago Miss Howard was sent as an invalid to Hampton. Va., where she became greatly interested in General Armstrong's famous school for Indian boys and girls. Her sympathy was aroused by thei helpless condition in which the Indian girls who graduated from that institution find themselves on their return to their Indian homes. Armed with lettera of introduction from her father. Miss Howard oeonred baoking from tbe de partment of war and tbe interior, made personal inspection of several agencies in Dakota and satisfied herself that something ought to be done by christian women in aid of these friendless girls Henry Ward Baecher also gave her a letfoir which wail indorsed by her fa&er, after miioh persuasion and She set about to put into execution a programme whiofc inoludes the locating of 160 acres ot land near Crow Greek ligenoy, the ereotion of a school house and tbe establishment of a school in whioh Indian girls may be taught plain and fany sewing and be qualified to aot as instructors for the lees favored of their sex. The Indian bureau has taken pronounced ..interest in the matter, whioh is indorsed oordially over his own band and seal by Secretary Lamar of the interior department. Triple Drowning Accident. Kearney, Neb., June 20—Last night about 11 o'clock oooured a most heart rending accident on lake Kuarney, when Nicholas Anderson, Miss Hulda Priebe and Miss Dora Bunfelt were drowned At about 0:30 Anderson hired a boat, taking tbe two young ladiits with him, going to the north end of the lake. The boat house keeper heard them ainging until nearly 10 o'blook* and when mid night oame, not hearing from the party, he started out on a hunt, soon finding the boat turned over and hats lying on the water. An alarm was at once given, bnt the night being dark, nothing oould be done till horning. By usiuff drae bosks all three bodies were recovered by abqut 6 o'olook this morn ing. The bodies were taken in oharge by tbe ubtonty ooroner, Dr. M. A. Hooter, who impanelled jsry. who found tnat death was caused by accidentaldrowning. Mri Anderson waa twenly-nine rx vjrsBns old.-a. Dane by birtb, and had lived in Kearney for the P*8*four yearn, working in Scvitz's wholesale furniture store Miss Bunfelt oame here a short time ago from Osage, la., where her parents live, and was sooo to have been Quarried to Anderson. Miss Priebe's homo was at Grand Island. Where the youug folke were drowned the water was about fifteen feet deep and the lake only abont forty yards wide. It can never be known what caused the aooident. The whole town is in excitement. Tbe Nation's Naval ^Trophies. Washington, June 20—Popular atten tion having been directed to the oap tured flags in the oustody of the war department, there has been some inqury Concerning the disposal of tbe flags cap tured during the rebellion by the United States navy. The proposed retnrn of the bauners captured in the field sug gested a return of those taken op.:.,t-he water, and Seoretary Whitney waB oaijled upon to-day for some information as to their whereabouts. The democratic seo retary of the navy was rather nonplussed and after considering a while he con fessed that he knew nothing about them. He Bdded, however, with a smile that one thing was certain, be had given no order for their return to their former owners. The question asked the seoretary was then put in succession to each of the bureau officials in the navy depart ment until tbe startling fact waa develop ed that not one on duty then present had the slightest idea of their where abouts. It was suggested by the ohief clerk that three rebel naval flags might be in the naval aoademy at Annapolis, but Prof. Saley. of the naval department in oharge of the war records of tbe navy, who bas written a history of the naval aoademy,stated positively that they were those oaptnrea during the revolution and the war of 1812, but to his knowledge there were no rebel colors. This is a strange disoovery and a most embaraass ing one fur all oonoerned, and when the seriousness of the situation was finally realized tbe only idea that oooarred to the officials was that probably some of tbe republican ex-seoretaries might kuow where tbe flags were stored. Tbe law of 1884 for the preservation and exhibition of oaptured flags is tbe same for the navy as for the war department and there IB considerable consterna tion in offioia? oiroles over the new com plication to the affair by the inquiries set on fcot to-day.

Omaha Bee, 22: A telegram was re oeived here yesterday which when dis casBed on the street, was olaimed to have told the story that tbe seoretary of war had deoided against allowing the.Nebtas ka Central to build its proposed bridge at the foot of Cass street and over the river. From au official of tbe Chicago^ Milwaukee & St. Paul road, it was after wards ascertained that the telegram in question bad oome from Milwaukee, and tbat it said in effect that-from what had taken plaoe in Washington yesterday it looked as if the road oould not be per mitted to build its briage because of the objections of Sater, the engineer of the Missouri river survey. Even if the necessary per mission were allowed for a low bridge, it was" thought Suter would so interfere with it that the only thing which oould ba done by the company waB to go to con gress when it next assembles and secure a oharter for tbe low bridge in question Setter was an enemy of Omaha, and had BO proved himself in' everything be had done in oonneotion Wi'h the -bridging at this point. He was a Union Paoifio mau and the Union Pacific company was fighting the new bridge projeot with a great deal of energy. Endioott, the seoretary of war, was a Boston dem ocrat. and so was Charles Franois Adams, president of the Union Paoifio. The question, perhaps, wodld have been settled bad it not been for the proposition of certain men in Omaha. These were Joseph Millard, whose bank handles the Union Paoific money Guy Barton, who is also a Union Paoifio man, and Frank Murphy, whose street railway interests prompted him to take a stand against the grand movement. The projeot, how ever, had not been abandoned. It would probably be decided by the first of July. If tbe matter were Bettled, a million dollars would be spent in Omaha this year by the road. The C«ar an Inebriate. London, June 21—Emperor Alexan der III., of Bubflia, is a oonfimed drunk ard, if the stories told by a British offi cer who has just returned from St. Pet ersburg be half true.

In a time incredibly short we were set down at the door of this colossal pile of. briok and mortar wh. re tbe state dispen ses its grand publio charity to the un fortunate. Tnis institution is the pride of our oity, or should be the pride of our people outside the advantage coming from the profits of trade. Onoe on the steps of the building we faoe about to take in the picture furnished by the south and west. There was the material for the pencil of tbe master. The nearer views about the building were fummhrd with flowets.- Every approaoh to tie asylum, whoth«-r by paths or oarriage drives, were fringed with flowers ol every variety and *o,l-jr. At the door we were kiudly welcomed by the obliging superintendent and his pleasant wife, Dr. Cravens and lady. Wo soon found that the outMue pro fusion of beautiful flowers prevailed only in a most shadowy outline compared with the abundance and Variety of what we found inside. Fiowers in the win dows, on the mantels, every stand and bracket adorned, with flowers. Flowers lined the hall leading to the chapel. In the female ward we found the floral dis play rich and beautiful. As' we went on, led by our genial leaders, at conveni ent distances we were greeted by sing ing birds eo that When we went from room to room we were never out of hear ing of the songs of birds. The cages where these sweet singers were confined were so numerous, that at last we a&ked, "how many birds have you in the asylum doctor "I believe there are in the neighborhood of seventy-five," was tbe answer. Nor were flowers and birls all that added enchantment to these othf r wibe gloomy bails, for Wd were never out of sight of beautiful pictures adorn ing tbe walls, all full of inspiration and gladness. The gloomy was far in the background, if it was admitted to the soene at all. In eaoh ward of the build ing, about midway of the hail, im,t«ad of a rOom for patients a recess had been left on tbe sunny Bide 1JUY WAN work fsrenoea grocery of the house. Here the inmates gathered to pass the hours of the day in innocent games and in singing. Four organs bave been furnished to aid in this de lightful and pleasant exercise. The female patients were busy with their books, for there is a well seleoted library at the institution acoeBsible to all who have an inclination that way. Others we're busy with their curious patohwork or fancy sewing. Anything to take the attention from self. The men, as many as were able,were outside with the flowers and plants and were busy with hoes and rakes. The various dining halls for the inmates and the sleeping apartments were oheery, well ventilated and scrupu lously neat. We were shown into the oooking room, wash room, bake Bhop,and all showed the same order, thrift and neatness whioh characterized the estab lishment all throughout. There was unity because there was exeoutive ability in the head. The triwtees haye reason to congratulate themselves iB the way the institution is conducted. The crowded state of the wards calls for immediate en largement accomodation. Does the governor know these needs? Does be know these unfortunate ones must suf fer every day this needed improvement is withtU The taxpayer maj jrwt atk who is responsible fur this delay At we oame away from this noble in stitution we could not resist tbe conclu sion tbat the true secret, as adopted at the Yankton insaue asylum, bas been found out aud is now on trial at tbe insane asylum near this oity, acidI doubt not will ehow that works of art, mntio, reoreation, employment and life on ex hibition before the inmates will do vast ly more as curative agencies than medicine administered in hercio doses without these necessarfadjunots. This institution as now managed could re oeive and does receive the appropriate label "success." D. B. N. Notice of Special Tax Levy. OFFICE OP Our TREASURES.
