COMPTROLLER EGEELS IS CHEERFUL.
Several Suspended llanks Announce Themsohos Keady to Resume ISuKinosa— Embarrassment of Se.veral
Firms Reported.
QI'LET DAY IN ECKELS' OFFICE. WASHINGTON, July 27.—Wednesday was a cheerful day at tho oftiee of the comptroller of the currency. While Tuesday will go down into history as "Blue Tuesday" on account of the lai-ge number of bank failures and the generally discouraging tenor of Uie news received at the comptroller's office regarding the condition of national banks, it seemed on Wednesday as if the crisis had passed, and every dis patch received was of a reassuring nature.
Many Want to Resume.
Up to 4 o'clock not a single national bank failure had been noted, while on the other hand numerous telegrams were received indicating the resumption of a number of banks which had failed. The most notable of these was that of the Missouri national bank of Kansas City, which suspended on July 17. Later in the day the comptroller was advised that the First national bank at Winston, N. C., was taking steps to resume under new management. Then came the remarkable news from Findlay, O., that the Farmers' national, which closed its doors Wednesday, had found its affairs perfectly solvent and asked to resume business o« Monday. To this request Comptroller Eckels replied through Examiner Jamieson that every encouragement would be given the bank to resume, and that if it was found that its suspension had been due to a panicky feeling rather than to its actual insolvency, the institution could resume. Mr. Eckels stated that he believed the Findlay institution would resume. Advices were received also that the First national bank of Hot Springs, S. D., would resume under new management and also that the First national at Grundy Center, la., would resume August 1.
Tide Turned Favorably.
Now that the tide lias turned favorably treasury officials believe that the confidence of the country will be once more restored and that there will likely be no repetition of the unfavorable reports which crowded upon the comptroller's office Tuesday. One week without a national bank failure would do more to relieve the situation, by restoring public confidence, than any amount of theories or legislation regarding financial subjects.
Low Hates.
Commencing at once and until further notice the Monon Route (making connection at Chicago with the fast trains of the railroads lending to points in the North and West) will sell tickets at a special low rate. No doubt but these will be the lowest rrtes of the season. Times of trains, connections, maps showing route, with full particulars of your trip at the Monon depot.

The Feople's Excharge.
This is a department! of etieap advertising for the benefit of persons who want things and people who have things that other folks want. Advertisements under the head of "Lost," "Found," "Strayed," "Wanted," "For Sale," and the like will prove a great convenience we believe to our friends and subscribers in all parte of the county. For instance if John Smith, at Elmdale, has more hogs than he needs and wants to dispose of some of them, he will use "The People's Exchange," and James Brown, at New Ross, or Wm. Scott, at Linden, or Thomas Jones, at Yountsville, among the hundreds that read the ad, will just bo in need of a few hogs.
For the purpose of making "The People's Exchange" popular and useful we make the low price of three cents a line for ads under that head. As the amounts handled for this class of advertising will be so small we can't afford to book them, and a cash in advance rule will be observed.
Try "The People's Exchange" once and see tllfe result.
The People's Exchange.
Advertisements received under this head at tliree cents a line. Count a line for each seven words or fraction thereof, taking: each figure or each group of initials as one word.
For this class of advertisements we expect cash in udvance.
