J. Frank Watson of Merchant's

Will Pay Out.
HINTS AT DARK WAYS
Says Uniik Was A'lctiin Other Bank
ing Circles of Portland
Quiet.
Portland, Nov. 12. That the bank
will re-open with ample funds se
cured from liquidation of some of Its
securities, Is the belief of J. Frank
"Watson, president of the Merchants'
National Bank of this city, which
temporarily suspended business 'to
day. So far as further embarrassment
of Portland financial institutions is
concerned, Watson says he does not
think there will be further trouble.
"We were a victim, and have been
slaughtered, and that is the end of
It." Suspension of the Merchants'
National had little effect on the
other banks of the city. It seemed
as if the anticipated had happened,
and the crucial point having passed,
tension which had been wrought to
a high pitch by Idle rumor and gos
sip, which caused the Merchants' Na
tional's embarrassment, seemed re
laxed. RARE WORKS FROM

More Money Missing.
It was mentioned some time ago in
these columns 'by the Times' adver
tising man that there was an insect
of some kind on the Bay that was
death and destruction to paper mon
ey. It should bo called the Green
backus Microbus. Furthermore it is
getting in its work again to the great
inconvenience of Chas. Noble, fam
iliarly known as "Toots." Last
Saturday evening between the hours
of 7:30 and 9, the aforesaid bug en
tered the fob pocket of Toots over
alls and extracted therefrom two
$20's and a $10. In the same pocket
were two $20 gold pieces, but they
were not touched. It must be a back
number bug, for everybody else is
looking for the gold. "Toots" is of
fering a liberal reward for the re
turn of that money. Charley Kron
holm will pay a big price too for the
capture of that bug.

General Affects Many
Persons.
Chicago, Nov. 12. Five thousand
marriages of Chicago couples which

Ind., within the last five years, were
declared to be Illegal, In an opinion
rendered yesterday at Hammond by
Atorney-General Lowden O. Bombor
ger to Ernest L. Shortrldge, clerk of
tho Circuit and Superior Courts. In
his opinion, he holds that licenses Is
sued by the Superior Court of Lake
County, located at Hammond, are is
sued within legal authority, and that
tho only court of Lake County which
Is empowered to issuo licenses is
tho Circuit Court at Crown Point.
If ho is right 5000 couples who
have sought tho aid of tho kindly
laws of Indiana during tho past live
years, and had tho kfiot tied at Ham
mond, havo been living together
without legal sanction. Tho possibJ"
complications of a legal character
I alone which would follow such a
state of affairs aro innumerable.
Transfers of property, inheritances
and a variety of matters depending
upon tho marrlago of contracting
parties will bo cast under a cloud
which will remain until tho higher
courts aro ablo to decido the techni
cal point which is raised in tho
opinion.
