Governor Lewelling did not lose any
money IN the failure of the Wichita ma
tional bank, although he does his bank
ing business thro IGN that Institution.
The governor in handling his commits
sion business, buys large Quantities OF
butter and eggs, and places them in cold
storage. The bank has been in the habit
of loaning him money on his cold stor-
age certificates aud it happened at this
time instead Of having money on deposit
in the bank, the bank held some OF his
cold storage certificates.
Fred J. Close, the governors private
secretary, says although many people
have made fun of the sub-treasury plan,
yet this national bank has considered the
pIau good enough to use in a small way
with its customers.
1t is said he people who lose the most
by this bank failure are poor people who
lose all their savings, some of them rep

Attorney General tile Thinks They
Can Hold once Here.
There Is likely to be more trouble in
the next Legislature about members with
certificates being admitted to participa-
ton il the organization Of the house.
The indications are that the Populists
will want The members with certificates
seated this time.
Attorney General Little has given it as
his opinion that James Leaseur. the
POpullst nominee for The legislature in
Johnson county, who is an ex-cOnfederate
soldier, is eligible TO Office, although an
amendment 10 the state Constitution in
1867 declares that ex-cOnfederates can't
hold office in this state. General Little
holds that the amendment does not apply
because it was passed after the act was
committed.
As the law clearly says the house shall
be the sole judge of the qualification Of
its members, TINS will be a nice case for
the next honse to decide should Mr..
Leaseur receive enough votes in his dis
trict to give him certificate of election.

The swifs-Footed Moose.

To one who knows nothing of big
game, IL Is amazing to see how fast a
moose can run, his stride being much
longer than that Of horse. A light
freight train was running on the
Northern Pacific, In the upper part Of
Minnesota, when the engineer saw
big moose standing on the track,
and as soon as the animal saw the
engine he took to his heels down the
track. There was perfectly straight
run for four miles, and the engineer
determined to test the speed of the
moose, OF which he had frequently
heard. At first the gait of the
moose was sort OF trot, and even
when the engine gained speed the
animal did not seem to exert itself.
Faster and faster sped the engine,
but still the moose trotted ahead,
and all the power of steam could not
prevail over this monarch of the for
est. At last, after covering four
miles, and turning a curve, they
came upon gang of section hands,
and the victorious moose leaped the
track, and was lost to view In the
forest.

AMERICAN TEA.
| Grown In Gardens In South Caroiina-A
State Agriculturist's Opinion.

Grown In Gardens in south Caroiina-A
State Agricuiturist's Opinion.
Some fine specimens of American
tea have been sent from Fayette,
N. c., this season 10 Northern mar
kets, and according to the New York
Evening Post, the results Of the
sales seem to indicate that the cul-
ture OF this crop in parts of the
South may yet lead to large fortunes.
1t is not generally known that at
tempts were made to establish tea
gardens here before the war, and
that since the end of that outbreak
systematic efforts have been made to
revive the old gardens. Professor
Massey, of the State Agricultural
College, has been instrumental in
trying to spread information among
the farmers concerning the culture of
tea, and a few have been induced to
put out gardens. The tea sent from
the old Smith farm this season
brought 80 cents a pound, and some
from the Summerville gardens In
South Carolina brought as high as 81
a pound. Last summer the tea cut
at Summerville amounted to dozen
or two pounds, and this year several
times that amount has been sold.
DR.. Shepard says that the leaf
grown in the south is better for black
than for green tea and that the cost
of picking Is about 25 cents a pound
of cured tea. On'a large scale, and
with the best apparatus for gather
ing and curing, this cost might be
largely reduced. He feels confident,
however, that chcaprate culture
could never be made profitable here
on account OF the lower wages that
rule In japan and India and China,
but the higher grade teas can be
grown with considerable profit. Dr.
Shepard is increasing his tea gardens
every year, and when the plants are
old enough to yield good crops he
proposes to put Ia good machinery
