Wichita has two newspapers which
are in line with the progress OF the

Senator Ingalls, has addressed the
following letter to Mr.. Wilkinson, OF
the Seneca Courier. concerning the
new currency law:
"In the curren; issue of your excel.
lent Courier. notice the following
paragraph:
Kansas is, under the redistribution
clause of the new currency bill, enti-
tied to about half n million more ma
tional bank circulation.
The new national bank act, by fixing
the maximum Of legal tenders at $685.. :
600. 900. and releasing the reserve on
circulation. adds to the currency of the
country about S76. 100000. Under the
redistribution clause Kansas is enti-
lied 10 aearly $2,000.00o additional
bank notes for circulation instead OF
half n million. as you suggest. While
the bill is not all we hoped 10 obtain,

which is the herald OF another era OF
enduring prosperity.

dry weather is prevailing in the coun-
