nounce in their literature one of che best
banks of the city as a repository" Of their
funds. This sounds to the unsuspecting per-
son like sound financial business, when in
fact it means nothing more than that they de-
posit their money in this bank, which can be
drawn by check at any time just the same as
an indivldualcan draw money he has depos-
tied in bank.
These companies most often catch the poorer
classes of people, those who are least able to
bear It. But what becomes OF the thousands
OF poor untortunates who are holding the
sack when the scheme "busts?' which ii event

upon which to rest
These companies often have paid notices.
in some of our very best magazines and news
papers in the country, and q sample copy Of
some influential magazine Is placed in the
hand OF each agent to assist him to dispel any
doubts which may arise in the minds OF any
person he sOlicits
Parties Of good business Judgment otherwise
are sometimes caught in these companies; but
when they discover 1t they quietly letit drop
and say nothing about it, because they are
ashamed to let people know the "agent" was
smarter than he, and so the swindle goes on.
Our former attorney general, the Hon. John
\. Ives, gave written opinion strongly con-
demn1ng these sO-called bond investment
companies, which opinion is fully cOncurred
in by the present attorney general The clos
ing sentence OF that opinion Is as follows:
Until the Legislature shall, by some addi-
tiOnal legislation, provide that such corpora
tlons may be formed in the state, and provide
for the protection OF the parties who may be
induced to invest in their sO-called bonds, |
am clearly of the opinion that the business
which they contemplate doing is illegitimate
and should not be tolerated in the state, much
less sanctionedby any Of the state officials"
Hereafter all companies, officers, or agents
OF bond investment companies, whether home
or foreign, found operating in the state of
Kansas will be prosecuted for swindling.
In conclusion, we hereby ask the assistance
Of all good citizens in stamping out this fraud
and swindle, by reporting to the secretary of
state the names Of companies. officers or
agents doing business within the limits of the
state OF Kansas. RS. OSBORN,

For the Cherokee Lands.

Thousand of people are waiting in and
about Arkansas City for the presidents
proclamation opening the Cherokee strip
to settlement. This they have good rss-
son to expect will be issued within the
next month.
A dispatch says: "For a distance Of
100 miles west Of Arkansas City, people
are csmped in tents and wagons who
have been there for the last four or five
months awaiting the presidents procla-
nation. Jack Hspworth, Of Hunnewell,
who is here to-day, says he does not see
how many Of them can get through the
winter. They have nothing to life on,
having consumed all Of the money and
provisions some time since. There is no
prospect ahead, he says, because they
are going into barren country where
nothing can be raised to eat until next
year. He says if the people Of Kansas
actually knew the amount Of destitution
chat prevails there among the poorer
classes they would contribute literally
to help them out Of their present condi-
ton. Hspworth is on his way to Kan
Sss City as the agent Of several colonies,
to buy supply Of common provisions"

More About the Esquimaux.

The Esquimsux Village seems to have
made conquest Of our correspondent at

communication, that, like the many
thousands who VISIT the Village, he never
tires seeing this curious people and
watching them pursue their peculiar
sVocstions, representing q fac SimGle of
their lives in their native country. He
says that the many people who visit the
fair and only have time for q glimpse
here and there make q great mistake in
spending what little time they have in
viewing many things they will have op-
portunities to do again and miss seeing
such places IS the EsquimRux Village,
for there is nothing more interesting
than to study the curious pursuance of Q
strange race Of people, especially one so
far removed from US and 30 widely dif-
ferent in their manners as the Esqui-
msux people. The expense of bringing
these people here with their tents, rein
deer teams, sleds, dogs, houses, costumes
and many curious belongings has been
great, more than $50, 900 being expended
for the purpose. -

Fraud! A SVildlG !
OFFICIAL NOTICE.

AS officers of the state of Kansas it becomes
our duty to warn the people of a certain fraud
and swindle which has sprung up within the
last three or four years to which the proper at
tentiOn OF our state legislature has not yet
been called. We refer to the many so-called
bond investment companies, that is, companies
that issue and sell their own bonds, collecting
a monthly payment from each purchaser until
the bond is said to mature, when the company
promises to pay the face of the bond, which is
usually $1,000 The tables for the payment of
these bonds by the different companies are
very similar, and we clip the following in
structions and table from the literature of one
Of these companies that the reader may more

DID SHE POISON HERSELF
Sensation Sprung by the Defense in the
Mawhor Murder Trial.
SOME DOUBT AS TO THE HANDWRITING
Note that Was Found In the Lumber Room
Declared Mrs. Mawhor's hope that
Her Third Attempt at SUI
eide Would Succeed.

AvoCA, Ia, Sept 6.-TSpecial Telegram to
The BEE ALI the testimony has been
taken in the Mawhor trial and the argu-
ments were commenced today the opening
address to the jury for the state being con-
cuded before court adjourned The chief
witness for the defense was Leah Mawhor,
daughter of the defendant She gave her
testimony in convincing way, adding what
ever she could to favor the case of her father.
1t was brought out in evidence last week
that the relations between Leah and her
stepmother were not the most pleasant, and
this was corroborated today by the young
lady's own testimony. But the most sensa-
tional piece of evidence that has been intro
duced during the whole trial was scrap of
paper purporting to be bit of note writ
ten by Mrs Mawhor, IN which she declared
her intention to commit suicide. The bit of
paper was identified by Miss Mawhor as
being in her 'stepmother's handwriting, and
said sne hoped she woulu be successful in
THIS her third attempt to kill herself.
Leah Mawhor testified that the first trou-
BILE occurred between her father and her
stepmother over surprise party. She had
asked her schoolmates at AXtell, Kan, to
come over and spend the night with her, and
they had declined. Later they came and
surprised the family. Her stepmother said
she was liar, and she left home. She said
her stepmother had twice told her. she had
attempted suicide.
Here the defense sprung their surprise on
the state, Offering in evidence scrap of
paper on which was written: 'l3efore the
morning of the Goth of Octooer,I hope my form
will be cold This is the third ana I hope
it will be n success" This paper was identi-
fled by Leah Mawhor as being in her step
mothers handwriting,
r. l. MawhOr who furn shed this niece of
paper, testified he found it in the lumber
room of the defendants house few days
after his arrest. He was searching for pyi-
son when he found the paper.
On cross s-examinationo of Leah Mawhor it
was developed that she was familiar with
the handwriting OF her S stepmother, because
when she left homo, to go to Illinois her
stepmother wrote her letters dictated by
the defendant. q.

TO THE BEE. In response to a letter from
Chairman Gibson and James p. PInkham,
the prohibition state central committee. re-
gardlng the movement against the tenn
perance plank of the Iowa republican plat
form, ex-senator James Harlan OF Mt.
Pleasant, under date Of September 4, re-
plies AT considerable length. He declines to
endorse the alleged citizens movement for
prohibition saying the election of proposed
nominees does not seem to him TO be within
the range of possibility, and continues:
"Hence, every republican vote cast for them
will weaken the republican party and
strengthen the democratic party. Your
proposed organization gives the democracy
OF Iowa, III my oplnion, its only hope of sue
cess at The next election, and If Horace
Boies should be again elected governor of
Iowa, with democratic majority in the
general assembly, two things will doubtless
occur, viz: First, a democratic United
States senator will be elected TO misrepre-
sem Iowa and vote steadily against repub-
lican principles in that great forum from
the 4th of March, 1895, until the 4th of
March, 1901; second, the existing pro.
hibitory liquor law will certainly be re-
pealed and some sort of a license law win
