Disordsrly Honse.

Certain Rossville citizens seem totally

week ago, D. W. " ellis of Rossville en-
gagged in a disgraceful affair with Mary
Wade and last night two of the most

John Baird has evidently heard. of
Annie Laurie as an alias for when he was
taken to the station last night he said his
name was Robert Burns. Henry Carter

Harry Bennett.
Officers Owens and Ewing arrested
them at $40 last evening in house at
the corner of Crane and Quincy strest
Ia the place were also Lille French, the
colored girl who attempted to kill herself
some time ago, because the weather was
too warm. and Allie Price. also colored,
There was considerable delay as Baird is
a slow dresser.
Carter forfeited $40, Baird $3.50 and a
watch, and the women were fined SO
each this morning.
The Rossviile attorney, Kitchener, who
has been in constant attendance at the
murder trial in behalf of the state. later
appeared and tried to get the fine of his
fellow townsmen reduced. Ten dollars
is the very lowest fine.
Logan Justice, colored, who pointed
the men to the place, was put in as vag-
rant. His trial was continued.

WOMEN AS FINANCLERS.
Bank Presidents, Holders of Bank stoo.s
and EMPLOYEES,

Bank Presidents, Holders of Bank StoO.S
and Employees.
Women have now invaded so many
departments of business life and are
occupying successfully so many places
Of Importance in all manner of indus
tries and enterprises that one is hardly
surprised at hearing of their achieve
ments in any direction. But if the
average man might suppose that there
was yet one department of commercial
activity which woman has not pros
pected, it is most likely he would think
it was that of finance and the manage
ment of financial institutions, says the
New York Sun. Woman is usually
credited by man with being somewhat
weak in this direction. But that is only
one other of mans mistakes about wo-
man. In the forthcoming report TO
congress of the comptroller of the cur
rency there will be a chapter on wo-
mans interest and activity in financial
| affairs that will greatly surprise many
people. 1t will show that there are
several very able women bank presl-
dents in this country, large NUMBER
OF women directors of financial 1nstl-
buttons, very large number of women
employed in subordinate places in such
institutions, and a surprising number
of women who own stock in banks and
take a lively interest in their affairs.
The west, as usual, makes the greatest
showing in this matter, as in most
! others concerning the ascendancy OF
woman. Several national banks in the
west have women presidents, and many
! ofh hav TlaOpc of
| trust and great responsibility. All over
| the country there are financial institu-
tons of one kind and another that
number women on the BOARD of direc-
! tors. The comptroller's statistics will
not be made public in detail for some
weeks yet, but some norable facts and
| figures are given in recent reports. In
whatever places OF trust women have
SO far been employed they have shown
| themselves particularly shrewd and al
together discreet and trustworthy. They
Ire proof against most of the tempta-
tons that cause men to fall from grace
when intrusted with the handling of
other peoples money, and have proved
/ conscientious and faithful According
to the comptroller's last report, 367
women were then employed in national
and state banks, but since that time the
number has been very largely i'll
creased. At that time 1,733,772 shares
| of stock in national banks, represent
ing value of $3.50, 6S1. 492. were owned
| by 70,697 women. OF state bank shares
women owned 4S1 ,O9S, representing
| $3S, 074, 712, which were in the hands of
| 3D. 46 individual holders. Estimating
| the average dividends from this stock
at six per cent, the women of this coun-
try draw about S10,000,000 a year in
incomes from financial institutions.

NO NEW Roller HOUSE NOW.
Santa Re VIII Not Erect One Here Just a
Present.

Santa Re VIII Not Erect One Here just at
Present.
The erection of the new Santa Fe
boiler shop, for which petition for the
vacation of a certain part of Adam
street, was made at the last meeting of
the city council, is not assured, and it is
very likely that it will not be built for
some time.
The addition has been talked of from
year to year for the past five years, as
by the present arrangements of the
boilers considerable room is taken up in
the machine shops which could be util-
lied to advantage and large amount of
light excluded.
While the talked of building is in re-
ality needed. the present arrangements
have existed at times when a much
larger force has been employed at the
shops and when the road was in a more
prosperous condition.
A Santa Fe official stated that the ap-
plication to the council was made simp-
ly to secure the ground needed whenever
the addition was built.

In RAILROAD CIRCLES.
Transmissouri Lines to Return to
the Old Plan
OF CHARGING PER 100 POUNDS

General Railroad Notes and Personal
Items of Interest.
The tariff sheets authorized by the
Transmissouri Freight association at
Newton, Kan, last week, have not yet
been issued, but it is understood in rail-
way circles in this city that the trans
missouri freight lines have agreed to re-
turn to the old plan of charging by the
100 pounds instead of carload rates on
shipments of live stock. The plan is
followed at the Chicago stock yards, and
was tried in Kansas sometime ago. The
necessity of weighing the cars when
loaded and again when empty caused
much delay, and the scheme was killed
by the board of railway commissioners.

ton of the wording of the new time card
in the STATE JOURNAL last evening. The
paper stated "The time of the trains on
the Atchison & St Joseph branch has
not been changed with the exception of
No. 107." It should have read, The
