Walter Hills Borrows $157 From Will
liam Brott at Kansas City and Skips.
Walter Hills, young man who ran a
gambling house in Topeka last fall, went
from here to Kansas City and now Will
liam Brott would like to know whittier
he has gone. Brott formerly ran a Kan
sas avenue billiard hall. but is now To-
Gated at Kansas City. Hills succeeded
in borrowing 1851 from Brott on the rep
resentation that he intended to open a
ambling house in Kansas City and
needed the money to start the crap game.
Hills got the money and hasn't been
seen since. He never opened a gam bling
house at the place he represented, but
appears to have skipped town.
It is said that when Hills struck To-
peka he had $4,000 that had been left to
him by relative. He came here from a
little town in Nebraska 1t was during
the lax police administration, and Hills
was allowed to Operate" as much as he
wanted to, with the result that he left
Topeka broke.

ELKS' COSTUMES ARRIVE.
They Have Arrived Here From Chicago
And Are Gorgeous

They Have Arrived Here From Chicago
And Are Gorgeous.
The EIks' costumes to be used at the
presentation of Romeo and Juliet have
arrived from Chicago and are beauties.
In real worth the costumes are much
better than those used at the presenta-
ton of the same piece by more noted
actors. The gown of Ned Henderson as
Juliet is all silk, and those who ought to
be judges say the dress is well made.
Nothing is too good for the Elks, and
silks and satins, velvet and ermine
abound. Even the tights are new and
free from holes. The costumes are
simply gorgeous, those of minor charac-
tiers in many cases being elegant enough
for the Heading lady"
The ballet skirts are being made at
home. Pick Smith has given employ
ment to three dressmakers for more than
a week. The skirts will be SO big in cir
conference that they have to be hauled
on Crawford's scenery wagon. They
will be short, but stand out straight on
all sides.
The wigs are all either of a reddish
shade or blonde.

Ottawa Journal Employees.

Receiver A D. Hubbard of the Ham
ilton Printing company has been cutting
down the pay roll of that institution
since he assumed control.

name at $50 a week from the pay roll
Mr.. Costigan had received his check
every week until Mr.. Hubbards advent,
but he must now draw his pay from State
Printer Snow, the owner of the paper
Another Ottawa Journal employee at
$25 week, a mailing clerk and steno-
grapher were also dropped from the pay
roll and Mr.. Hubbard does not sign their

pany, but the work is charged up to the

But Col. Hughes Will With Little
Doubt Accept.
MAJOR GENERAL SOUNDS PRETTY BIG.

And His Friends Urge Him to Accept
Doesn't Want TO Appear Kicker.
Col ]. W. F. Hughes won't say for sure
but it is reasonably certain that he will
accept the position of major general in
the Kansas National Guard which has
been offered him by Governor Morrill,
Colonel Hughes says he has received
hundreds of letters and kilograms from
prominent military men all over the
country congratulating him on the ap-
pointment and that his friends here are
urging him TO accept the place.
Colonel Hughes says his friends urge
him to accept on the ground that it will
reinstate him in the guard and he will
then be two grades higher than he ever
was before. He is afraid that if he does
not accept people will say he is a kicker
because he could not get the JOB which
had a salary attached.
The major general of the Kansas
National Guard is entitled to wear more
gold trimmings on his uni form than all
the other officers in the guard together.

A SAVINGS BANK sUsPENDs.
Numerous Notices of Withdrawals
Cause the Suspension.


Milford. n. H., June l2.-The Milford Sa-
wings Bank suspended payment this morn
ing. Bank Commissioners Tyford and Ba-
ker yesterday afternoon served a court in
junction on the savings bank. restraining
the institution from receiving or paying
deposits. The order is made by request Of
the board of trustees to the bank commits
sioners.
This action was made necessary by the
large number Of notices of withdrawal OF
deposits by non-residents. timid deposit
Ors and others, who We're dissatisfied with
the rate Of per cent. interest.
These payments could not be made with
out selling interest-bearing securities at
a sacrifice. which would imperil the prin-
cpal of the other dcpositors. It was
deemed better TO suspend rather than to
lessen the ability of the bank to pay every
depositor in fun.
The demands on the bank were heavy
during the panic of 1899. and have contin-
ued since A steadily improving business
was done until the closing of neighboring
banks caused many Withdrawals. thereby
forcing the present position. which other
wise would not have occurred.
The bank has deposits of about $9O0,OOO
and guarantee fund OF S2l.0O0, and should
be able to resume business when general
conditions improve and pay all depositors
in full.

Deputy FcrrnrR.


Rome, June 12.-In the course of the pro-
ceedings in the Chamber of Deputies to-
day the matter was raised of the recent

Rimini. Several speakers denounced the
act as characteristic socialist outrage.
whereupon Signor Costa. socialist, de-
clared that whenever a murder of the
kind was committed all socialists were
blamed for it, whereas all socialists were
enemies of individual violence.
Signor Chimirris, ministerialist, said
that the preachers of hatred of the name
of the human solidatry had prepared the
seeds of such eXcesses.
Signor Chimirris evoked a chorus Of
protests from the radical and socialist
benches, which were answered from the
seats of the majority with cries of Isl
lence."
'"Tis you who SOW the seeds of hatred" ."
The denunciatory cry of the majority
elected a storm of applause from the min
isterial deputies, mingled with a defiant
uproar in the socialist group.

Stuttgart, June 12.-In the lower house

that the government did not think it ad-
visable that Germany should summon an

This action recalls Chancellor Won Ho-
henlohes declaration that the government
would take steps to summon a monetary
conference as soon as it obtained the ap-
proval of all the federal states. The sup
porters of the gold standard hope that
the attitude of Wurtemburg will be suf-
ficient to prevent the calling of the con-
ference.
