CASH IN kANS AS.

Three banks in Salina make statements
showing individual deposits subject to
check of over 100000. Two national
banks in Junction City report individual
deposits to the amount of S136,531. 1t
would be interesting if some one could
get the data to know how much cash the
poverty-stricken people of Kansas have,
subject to check. The quarterly state
ments of three national banks of Atchison
show aggregate resources Of $685.
152.47. The total deposits of these banks
aggregate 81, OPS, 976.65. The reports of
the banks show perhaps better than any
thing else the drift of business. Put
these two statements together
and it is entirely safe to say that
they are fair illustrations of the situation
in the state generally-and place them
alongside the excess of mortgage ex-
tinguishment over renewals or new
debts created, and it most asspredly
shows a healthy financial condition and
an augury for a greater wave of pros
perity in the immediate future than the
state has ever enjoyed. There is nothing
fictitious or imaginary about this; it is a
substantial statement of actual con-
ditions, and ought to be sufficient to re-
move the false impressions that have
been sent out by enemies of the states
best interests, and put an end to the
calamity howl.

THE DEATH BLOW OF INGERsoLIsM

To the Editor OF the EAGLE
H. E. Bidwells zeal for God and man
will not let him rest quietly under the
EAGLES dictum forbidding theological
arguments in its columns. One can feel
that he is full of his subject, but the
EAGLES restraining talon holds him in
check. Therefore, he quietly hay-presses
his thoughts and slips in as matter OF
private information ten line receipt,
warranted to knock Ingersolism in the
head, prove Gods existence, and set
Christ right before the people.
He casts his thought in the form of
two crisp sentences, not verse nor stanza
and what is more remarkable, not
scripture-but all out of his own head.
It is not my intention to add or de-
tract, or, such is my reverence for pro-
fnndity of thought, even to repeat AIr.
Bidwell's two sockdologers; but all good
men should refer to the EAGLES last
Sunday edition and secure clipping for
hat FASTING.
And thus, let it be hoped, his thought
will permeate to posterity, filter through
our ritualistic literature, and finally rest
endiademed in our Holy Writ.
Yours truly,
g. L. LEWISTON.

Hundreds at a poc.s funeral.

For number Of years Colonel J. q
Dodge, Of Warsaw, has been the owner
of NEST beautiful and intelligent shep
herd dog. He was very friendly with
children. Two years ago Frank, while
interviewing another dog on the railroad
track, was run over by passing train.
crushing one of his hind legs and cutting
off his beautiful tail. Thursday Frank,
who had become quite decrepit and deaf,
wandered down TO the railroad again
and was struck by train and killed in
stantly.
The news few like wildfre among the
boys, and they concluded 20 give him q
funeral such IA no dog ever had IN this
part of the country. Selecting a suitable
location, the grave was dug and re-
spectacle coffin was made, and Frank
was placed in II IN one Of his favored
trick attitudes-that Of playing dead.
The coffin was then closed and the grave
filed up in the presence of fifty ladies and
gentlemen, who were attracted by thu
novelty, and at least 200 boys. The
whole proceeding was conducted with
the utmost decorum.-COr. Indianapolis

duarries on the line of road. To a
stranger, trip over the III. and d. G..
R. R. presents a novelty that is unattain-
able over any other line in the republic.
A strange panoramic scene, constantly
shifting as the train whirls along-and
as the s'trainmen" say, They do whirl
'em." Time or space won't allow a
minute description of the ride over the
road, but suffice to say one is well re-
paid for the journey, especially through
the vast forests of the La Cruz and San
Juan rivers, where parrots, macaws and
road-runners of brilliant plunage are as
thick as blackbirds; moneys throw CO.
coanuts at the Pullman porter standing
on the rear end, some strange affinity
leading the misguided ''Monks" to be-
lieve that the porter had at some past
period escaped from the same forests
and had returned to taunt them with
their primitiveness. All well.
Yours &c, A. +. NJ.
