MIIAVAUKKU BANK FAILS. riie Cy ash. the Result of a Furniture Com panys Failure. Milwaukee, June 2. The Plankinton bank which failed yesterday has made an tsignment, the court appointing William Plankinton assignee. His bond was fixed at $1,61)0,000, whioh was immediately furnished. The sureties are Congressman John Mitchell, David Fergnoon, vice president of the Wisconsin Fire and Uarine Insurance bank, and Charles Hay, president of the National Exchange bank, The bank opened as usual at 10 o'clock ind did very little business. At Ave minutes after 10 o'clock William Plankin ton, the vice president, appeared on the icene and almost simultaneously the notice of suspension was posted up. There has been no regular run on tho bank of late. Since the scare of two weeks ago, however, the large depositors who did not take part in tho run that oc curred at that time, had beeu steadily withdrawing their accounts from tho flanklnton and transferring thorn to other banks. The suspension is largely due to the failure of F. A. Lappen & Co., and tho Lnppen Furniture Company two weeks ago, with liabilities that will probably mount to three fourths of a million, " tthenha' worst is known. Tho Plankin ton bank was the pet project of the late John Plankinton, the millionaire pork packer and hotel owner who died two fears ago. It was organized in 1837 and Mr. Plankinton was its first president. The capital stock was $200,000. On the death of Mr. Plankinton, F. T. Day, who was then vice presidant became president and a son of the dead millionaire ussumed the office of vice president. At the time of the heavy run on the bank, three weeks ago, it was said that Phil Armour, the Chicago packer, was in terested in the Plankinton bank, and with great show a huge sate was sent from Chi cago, accompanied by an armed guard, and was escorted to the bank by a dozen policemen carrying drawn revolvers. It was then said that Mr. Armour had sent $600,000 in gold to the assistance of the bank. Mr. Armour denied the story, but the move restored confidence and tnded the run. The heavy depositors, however, were not deceived, and for two weeks they have been guardedly with drawing their funds. The condition of the bank at the hour of the suspension cannot be learned. It is believed that the showing will not be a satisfactory one. William Plankiutou, vice-president, said he could not tell how the bank stood or what would be done Among bankers and busiuess men the opinion prevails that Mr. Plankinton will personally see that all claims are paid, in order to clear his father's connection with the failure. Seeing Stars In Daytime. I once asked this question of a well known editor, expecting a logical answer Id the "Notes and Queries" column of his paper. Query, "Is it a. fact that one oaa see. stars in brood daylight if ha descends Into a well or deep mining shaft 100 feet deep or more, and then looks out at the opening above?" Indue time the answer came as follows: "Stars can bo seen in the daytime from the bottom ot n well or shaft. The long dark tube shuts out all rays of sunlight, and the eye, accustomed to the doom, sees stars which would be in distinguishable by broad daylight." That answer never satisfied my curio-ity, and I am not sure but that 1 wrute the editor gain in regard to t he mat ter. I have two reasons for beiug dissatisfied .vrltn the answer as it stands our old "Philosophies" taught us that the reason - vr cannot see stars In daytime is because ' ttvs rays of the sun are so strong or power ful that they ecli.--i!f f.-ble light gWen KING to Vast brths stars. If thi, , the case, why rob,,- jheuld the simple act ofla ring one's self must mVntftwU lessen the power of sunlight, Ttrnxs fhwigth'eri the power of starlight or make ximcvj kuman vision inore penetrative? Secondly, the writer of this is an amateur geologist; r ha been In mining shafts on hundreds of j- occasions. In those varying in depth from SO to 700 feet, and has never yet seen a star upon looking out upon the vaulted canopy above, unless it was startima. Thin "seeing stars in daytime" is a favor ite with would be smart Alecs, but I want to register my opinion that no man ever "saw a star upon looking out ot a well or shaft unless be chose nighttime (or mak ing his observations.

Owing to the unexpectedly small at tendance during the first month of the Fair, the treasury of the Fair is pressed for ready money. The banks, which are represtnted in the local corporation, stand ready, however, to advance it. But money Is owing to contractors and employes, and the former find much difficulty In vetting qulok and full payment ot their claims. Treasurer Seeborger Is surrounded in his office at the grounds and In the olty every day by contractors or their agents who need the money due them for work done on buildings, etc lie is compelled to re sort to all kinds of dignified excuses for putting them oil, but some have been waiting two montns niter ineir contracts havo been completed and their vouchers passed. There win ne ft severe policy oi retrencu ment in all the departments of tho Fair beginning next month. The dlscnarge oi 2,000 employes is contemplated, the dis tribution ot passes is to be kept within the narrowest limits possible, and even Major Handy, who deals with the press representatives of the world, is now pre narinir under orders a detailed statement of passes given, with a view to a heavy deduction of the list. The directors are heavily interested In the financial success of tho Imposition, nnu they can bo relied on to do all in their power to reduce expeditures and increase recelnts. in suite of nublio opinion or indi vidual interests. Beforo the opening the enthusiasts connected with the Fair talked about an averace dally attendance of 100.000. but that number has only been reached twice on tho opening day and Memorial Day. Special fete days and single fare excursions from different points will swell the crowds for the next live mouths, but the European patronago is not being relied on to any groat extent in flEUriiiff un the prospective receipts, An official announcement will soon be sent through tho country by the commis sioners that the Fair is in shape, and that it is n kochI time to see it at once. It is intendud to counteract the chnrgoa of in completeness and extortion. The document is a lorn affair, explain inn the immense scope of the Exposition and its advantages from an educational itandnoint. It will recite that there enough to busy tho mind of a studious man for many months. It advises no one to say away, since the occasion is the Grandest of any age in anycouutry. Thoro are no excessive prices for ossential things. it dec'ares, and it is time thut ridiculous stories should bo branded as untrue. The second excursion party to tho Fair from Berlin arrived yesterday. Among those in the party were the Count and Countess Pfeil, Herr Brandt, director of. the famous Pilsner Brewery, and M Hermos, of the Imperial Printing Com nanv. The Electricity Building will be formally opened to tho public to-night. The build- inn: has been open to the public since the opening of the Fair, but the exhibitors have been slow in gotting thoir wares in position. At 7:30 o'clock tho machinery will bo put in motion and the 60,000 are incandescent and search lamps will be lighted. The feature of the building is tho electric shaft nt the center of the structure. It is eighty-five feet in height and arranged about it in overy concoivable manner are 30.000 incandescent lamps. It is sur mounted by a large prismatic globe which will cost a Hood oi light turouguouc la entire building. TRAINS LEFT IN TUB FLOOD. The River Near Arkamas City threaten. luc; Ajfuln. Arkansas Crrr, Juno 2. The river has fallen one-tenth during the past twenty- four hours. The gauge this morning shows 49.15. The backwater is still rising at tho tate of four inches in twenty-four hours, and It is now 2.2 feet of tho highest point reached bv the backwater of 10'JU. and within five feetot the highest point reached bv the backwater of last year. It is over the Missouri Pacific tracks, iust this side ot Bayou Macon, and is cat ting the dump badly. Tho probability is that the company will lose several hun dred feet of the dump at that point. It i over the track at another place between Trinoe and Bayou Macon, but is not cut ting the dump. Traius between Trippe and McGhee woro abandoned yesterday ou acoount ot the high water Juit south of McGhee junction. A private telegram from Varner ye-,ter day afternoon reported that thi water be tcaa running out of the break on the Ar kansas river. ThU is due to the rise that Is comlna down the Arkansas. The amount of dainace that will be done by it will depend altogether on the height to which the Arkansas goes. The rise that came down the Arkansas about four weeks ago came out through the Auburn break and destroyed the dam around Keedvllle, Kearney. Dumas and Walnut Lake. This water left the country, however, two weeks ago, and the farmers have all replanted, and these replanted farms are now doing weiL u tne present rain con tinues and the Arkansas goes to 23 feet at Little Hock, this territory is doomed acaln.
