A Private Sub-Treasury Plan.

TOPEKA, KAN., June lG-The alli-
ancc executive committee Of Kansas is
considering It scheme which practically
places The sub-trc lsury plan Of the ma
tional farmers alliance in the hands of
private capitalists.
j. {. Hopkins, who was Il delegate
from the New York Economic club at
the CINCINNATI convention is the origina-
tor Of the scheme. The plan is to estab-
lish bank in each county Of the State
under the direction of the local alliance
exchange. Thn capital stock Is to be
furnished by p.ivato subscription. In
connection with each bank an elevator
or Il store house is tp be built. A farm
CT may then dump MS grain or cotton
into the store houses, rccc wing for 1t Il
check for so per cent. Of the value of the
"ram deposited by paying small per-
ccntagc for storage aud insurance. lie
will be allowed to keep his grain in the
depository until such time as he may
deem it best to place it upon the mark
CT. The amount OF produce deposited
III this way must not exceed the amount
OF stock subscribed for the bank.
The checks TO be issued by these
banks are peculiarly devised and are
printed Iii cOlors. These checks are made
payable in gold or SILVER at any ot the
banks run in this manner. 1t is mtend-
cd that they shall be circulated rs
money.

Ihrrr are Sin brothers and one sister in
the family and there Is considerable APP

stricken. Dr. King says that there is
no Il ,uht that the disease was transmit

effected cali nine years ago. Thomas
\andrNrrr Is resting easy. The COndi-
tlon Of his mind has fairly changed
since vest ,rday morning. He is not
quite convinced that Inc will live. When
Dr. kmE called on him he was engaged
in wiring II letter Of consolation to his
father. Jacob NandrVcrr. II fifteen year
old boy, hIS not taken Il particle of
nourlShmrnt since he was attacked 10y

Sudden Death In Georgetown.

GEoHGEToWN, :. G., June 4.-Mrs
George krengel died very suddenly last
night. Sutlusion of blood on the brain
did the fatal work in so short a time
that the physicians, who were hastily
summoned, failed to reach the house
in time to save live, or even relieve pain.
Mrs. krengel was in fine health, gcner-
ally, and murc!y suffered, occasionally,
from attacks Of neuralgia headache.
She was, apparently, quite well on re-
firing for the night, and no intimation
was given Of the visit, so soon to be
made by the swift and silent reaper
