The umut of Mr. Bigelow followed hU .-mfesalou to the board of dlrectors of the bauk that be wn» a defaulter to the extent of $1,450,100. Following Mr. Uigetow’a confession be waa removed from the presidency of the bank, tntd the facta In the case were laid before the federal authori-

ties.

The complaint- was aworn to by United States District Attorney H- K. Butterfield. It charge* Hint Bigelow aa • president of tbe First National bank euibesxlod a sum exceeding $100,000. A complaint and a warrant Identical with those in Hlgelow’a case were made out to Henry tl. Goll, aasistaut cashier of the buna, but Goll could not be found. President Bigelow waa taken before United States Comtplaaiouer Bloodgood. and ball waa fixed at $25,000, and be waa released to api>e«r before the next federal grand Jury. President Bigelow's confession waa made a special meeting of the board of directors Saturday evening. He met with the directors Sunday night. In addressing his fellow directors President Bigelow said be had a painful statement to make, a confession that be had misdirected the funds of the bank and that an examination of his books and a comparison of figures would show that be Was Indebted to the bank for more than $1,450,000. This money, be raid, had been lost In speculation In wheat and stocks. Not a dollar of It could be recovered, and the only sum he could offer toward compensating the bank waa personal securities rained at $300,000. Mr. Bigelow bad been recognised as among tbe foremost financiers of tbe northwest- .Ho has been associated with the first National hank In various capacities for more than fifteen years, and his business connections with trust companies, manufacturing concerns, real estate deals and other similar ventures numbered scores. He wss honored s year ago by elect km to tbe presidency of the American Bankers' association. In making his statement to tba directors of the bonk Mr. Bigelow raid be bad become Involved In speculattoo In Wall street several months ago. More recently be bad been a persistent bull In tbe wheat market, and recent losses in grain had been added to heavy reverses In Wall street From email manipulations of tbe bank's funds he had extended tbe defalcations until his shortage bad passed tbe $1,000,000 merit. He saw no possibility of returning tbe money and therefore confessed his actions. Funds were at once provided by tbe directors of tbe bank to protect depositors sgainst kiss and to save tbe bank from a stampede. More than $1,000,000 was guaranteed to the bank by various stockholders, and no serious run waa made on tbe bank. It la not thought that any complications with creditors of tbe bank will follow. While President Bigelow's defalcation amounts to about $1,450,000 he restored $300X100 and the direct ore subscribed $1,635,000. thus leaving the bank better off by about $400,000 than It waa before the funds were depleted by tbe peculatkms of tbe president Bigelow once waa personally rated aa a mllllonalre^sd this fortune baa been lost as vmT as tbe sun from the bank.

Comment and Suggsstlvs Thought V. L “Before the feast” Aa the littte company waa groupsd around tha table to celebrate the Passover Feast hour." Jhe time for his final sufferings. “His own which were In the world." Those loved and loving ones whom He was so soon to leave amid the trials and temptations of.this world. "Unto the end." His lore was not changed by ' laulta, nor by (he apparent separation about to take place. He loved to the uttermost with a wine and faithful love. And It la no that He still loves. Whenever we call upon Him for assistance It is glvfcn with the tame love that was shown unto His disciples at this parting feast of the paasover when waa about to drink off the cup that

might not pass from Him.

V. A "Being ended." While supper as In progress. "Devil ... In heart.' The devil originated the purpose, but Judas need not have let the devil's sug-

gestion rest In his heart.

V. A “All things Into HU hands." Jesus had power to save himself from tbs coming suffering. He wae fully conscious of HU power, yet laid It aside In order to nave us; folly conscious of HU dignity, yet performed the act belonging to the lowest servant To be humble U not to think meanly of one's self. It to rather to have all thought of self by the loving purpose to render to othevery possible service. Qod promises us. In the Old Testament that "he that ezalteth himself shall be abased’.

be ezalteth."
