$1,000 in bonds and 5000 In stock OF
"The Oklahoma City Ditch and Water
Power company" which was q scheme
by which the waters Of the Canadian
river were to be diverted into Oklahoma
City for water purposes. The brilliant
NspoleOna who engineered that 'OntOr-
prise dug part of a ditch, turned the
RtNr into into 1t. It oRVed in--neveP
did hold water-Rnd is now ploWed
under and in wheat. They turned &c.
900 Of the stock and bonds into our
bank, and it also caVed in, and ia now in
the hands Of a receiver.
II r. w. Blue had gone to q bank
with which he was not officially con-
nectOd and induced them to discount
his notes, it would have been q CONNER
CiAl transaction; but bsar in mind he
was one Of the directors OF our bank
ono Of the trustees, Rs it were, Of the
frugal savings Of his neighborS and
friends. He not only stood az financial
but 90 Q moral guaranty for the institu-
tion. Note the result: The depOsitors
arc handed his personal fat (which Ia
worthlssS) and his collateral fiat (Which
iS worse than worthleas) in lieu Of the
good dollars deposited in his "gafo and
conservative" bank. Not only that, but
tho records show that these BtoCkhold-
era and directors met and declared aud
paid themselves q dividend Of 16 per
cont. upon their stock, and Of course,
that dividend was based mainly upon
their own worthless notes that are now
handed to us 90 assets. This dividend
was paid December 16, 1892, just seven
months boRors they failed. just sixty
days previous to that date, r. W. Blue
made q speech in our opera house,
Placing q $40 gold piece in the palm Of
his hand and displaying it to the audi-
enCS, he spoke in his well known sOpul-
ChrRl tones, 40 follows:
'CThStS tho kind of money We want;
that's tho only kind Of money upon
which Ws can base permanent and pro-
grossivS prosperity. Why, my friends,
IL you were supplied with this kind Of
money, your little home might burn
down st night, yet you could rake your
money from the ashes the next morning
purer than before the fire. It's eternal
and indsstructible-in fact, my friends,
IT'S Cons MONEY!

that every cent Of It belonged to the de-
positors in his own bank, and that il
was "Gods money" only in the sense
that it belonged in part to tho widows

Of men and women who earn their money

HIS MORTGAGE RECORD.
Now for the mortgage record Of R. w.
Blue. / will be RS brief a. possible:
1.-THE KSnRas Land, Loan and Trust
company" was organized in Lion Cou nty
in 1885, with Robert Kinoaid "a prSsl
dent, and r. w. Blue a. vice prSHi-
dent. They represented that, Il we
must have mortgSgsd homes, it'S better
that they be mortRsged in . "homO

ness before they had complied with our
state law, 30 anxious were they to AeCu-

BLUES CONFIDENCE CANES,
A Victim Of the Great Rsdeemsr Tells
His Expsrianoe.

present issue will reach many thousands
Of new readers, and as this article gives
facts which are almost Identical with the
experience Of many other victims, it is
reprinted,
tits now time to Rcqusint the people
OF Kansas with the bank and mortgage
record of r. W. Blue, candidate for con-
gressmsn.At-lsrge upon the republican
ticket. Being une OF the victims Of tho
alleged "fsilure" OF the Citizens bank Of
Mound City, Linn county, KGa., l am
financially interested In the affairs Of
that bank, which was claimed to DO the
very best bank in Linn county, In tRCt,
0 particularly bright star in the conBtel'
iatiOn Of fin rcisl institutions which
have been persistently pointed to with
pride by our republican leaders and
press 40 being "ths best banking system
on earth" We now fHd that, notwlth-
standing the alleged "sRfe and ConSOrv-
ative" character Of the institution with
which we will show how closely MIR.
Blue was connected, it had some peCul-
lar characteristics not set forth in ito
glittering prospectus. The bank was
organized In May, 1887, and failed in
July, 1893, Mr.. Blue being 'in on the
ground floor" in the start, and safely
"over the fence and out" when tho fail
urO occurred. ] was one Of commit
tee Of three appointed to examine the
books. and as each Of the committee was
q victim of the crash, we had fairly paid
for the information we might obtain, al.
though we were not aware what the de
vslopmsnts might be. The bank failed
on June 10, 1893, with $4,000 Of indi-
viduRl deposits as one item Of their liza
biity, in addition to $49. 400 paid-up
stock, which had also been swallowed
up.
Now, when the bank examiner walked
into this safe and conservative mStitu'
tion on the above date, and put his
hand on the money drawer and safe,
he found, as q basis for this liability Of
G1694OO, only S1,57962 in cSsh, and
about $4,000 in notes. We, as depos-
itors, were assured by the president,
cashier, and r. W. Blue, director, up to
the very day of the failure, that the
bank was perfectly safe; and, a. one svi-
denoo Of the confidence We had In their
Rssurapcsg, based, Of course, on our be-
lief In their honesty and integrity, we
call attention to the fact TINT there was
no run made or the bank by dOpoOitorS,
as the statement Of it's condition made
to the bank commissioner on June 20,
1893, one month previous to the failure,
shows $4,000 individual deposits. As
evidence Of the worse than rotten char
acter Of the paper in general, which In
turned over to as as assets by this gang
of gsnteel freebooters and legaliZOd Dal
tons, We call attention 10 the fact that
the names Of the stockholders Of the in
stitution are attached to 810S,000 out Of
the $4,000 in notes, and, Rs evidence
of the share that Mr.. Blue had In the
transaction, l call attention to the fAet
that his name as principal Ia attached
10 G8,65T64. he had $1,000 in stock,
upon which he had paid but $500, lSSv-
ing him liable as stakeholder, for 5000,
making him debtor In tho total sum Of
81205T64. Now, no one would imagine
6or moment that one Of the foremost

gave him q receipt for &7l0, specifying
that 500 was to apply ON the mortgage
and $40 on the interest, but he failed to
aign the receipt "a president Of tse COM

Shopping in Turkey.

The uncomfortable length OF time nee
essary to develop a bargain in Turkey
accounts, perhaps, for the perpetual
crowd in the bazaar. Whoever wishes
to buy anything of which the price is
not commonly known and fixed by GUS
tom must return many times to the as.
sault befor he gets what he wants.
When o first see the object for
which you are looking. you must be
blind. not let our features betray by
the least expression that you are inter-
ested. Next. you should ask the price OF
at least n hundred articles in the shop,
being careful, however. not TO omit the
one you need, less the omission should
make the shopkeeper suspect that you
want II.
You will then send for coffee and sa,
that you have not come to buy any,
thing, but have merely made inquiries
out Of curiosity. A few days later come
and again ask the prices Of severa
things. On your third visit you a al
low yourself to look more closely a
what you ave long since mentally Sc
yected and to offer the shopkeeper no
more than one-third of what he asks.

CLOSED IN A FURRY

The report of Supt. Byrnes on the COM
plant of the existence of certain disor-
derL. houses and saloons In Capt. Slevin's
precinct. made by DR.. Parkhurst's So
ciety. was submitted to the Board Of
Police yesterday.
The report says that In zone of the
places named was any violation of law
discovered. Most of them are sailors
boa rding-houses, which bound in the
precinct and are frequented both by
respectable and ~disreputable women.
Some had been closed for several months
and others. which were found vacant.
had probably been shut up on the publ
cation of the Parkhurst list in the news
papers.
1t Ia quite natural that the owner OF
a ~disreputable and lawless resort should
close his place when he finds 1t pointed
out in the public press and abscond from
the ne%ighborhood. The fact that SOM
OF the places designated by DIR. Park.
hurst ave been discontinued does not
therefore imply that the charges against
serves to show that their character was
correctly described. But as the main oh
ject of the Society is the suppression o
vice. the closing of such dcns by what,
ever means accomplished Is. of course
a gain for law and order.

THE QUoRUMLEss HOUSE.

since the close OF the holiday recess
the House of Representatives has been
little better than q mob. Practically
there has been no organization. because
the absence OF the Democratic members
has put 1t In the power of the Republicans
to leave the House without a quorum
at any moment and to block the public
business. This looseness has enabled
Mr.. Boutelle, OF Maine. to keep up an
u%nceasing clamor for the consideration
Of his privileged resolution" on Ha-
waiian affairs, and for others TO
unite with him in the effort to obstruct
tho tariff discussion.
Yesterday the Democrats made a better
showing than for two or three days
previously, but were still unable to mus
ter q quorum when the test came. Sew
eral members on the majority side had
arrived since Thursdays adjournment.
and Speaker Crisp held the House we'll
up to its work. He administered a Sc
we're rap on the knuckles to Mr.. Bou-
telle, who continued his offensive In
terruptions and foolish motions as per-
sistently al ever. The motion for the
previous question on the adoption Of the
special order. the Wilson bill, was at last
put to q vote, but the Republicans con-
tinued their obstructive tactics by re-
fusing to answer to their names. and
the vote lacked eleven OF q quorum.
1t IL to be regretted In the interest of
the public business that Boutelle can
not be persuaded to go to Honolulu and
the Democratic members to go to Wash
fnzton.
