Kansas City, Kansas, Bank Cash
Ter in the Tolls.
Received Deposits When Bank
Was InSOIVent.
READS THE WARRANT.
Jennie Gibson Deposited $500
ON January 13.
SQuabbIe Over an $500 COllec-
tiOn Hastens the Arrest.

Kansas City, Kan, Sept. 15-W G.
Porter. Jr-, was arrested here yester-
day charging him on two counts with
receiving money as cashier of the Bank
of Kansas City, Kansas, when he knew
that institution was insoIvent and in a
failing condition.
The warrants were issued on COM
plant of Jennie Gibson and Milan Col
Inns.
The complaint of Jennie Gibson is
to the effect that on January 10, 1896,
W. G. Porter, as cashier, received a de-
post of money to the value of $500.
The other warrant charges Porter
with receiving 1881 on deposit on
December 16 1895
The arrest of Porter following inme-
diately after the suit filed against him
by Receiver Q. F. Wilmer to recover
5000 borrowed from the institution,
indicates that the failure of the bank
is to lead to more legal complications
than was at first thought probable.
When the Bank of Kansas City, Kan
SaS, was forced out of existence and
c. F Wilmer appointed as its receiver,
he found the deposits of the institution
to be about $4,000. In the possession of
the bank was little except the fixtures.
An investigation of the assets showed
that the largest debtor the institution
had was it's cashier. w. G. Porter and
money from the bank and given as Sc
curity therefor their prOrnisSOry notes
The receiver some time ago got hold
of an $500 Montana collection which the
bank officers claimed was not bank
property, but belonged to them indi-
vidually. The receiver refused to turn
1t over and suit was brought against
him. Suit was then begun by the re-
ceiver to collect on prOmissory notes
and the civil action evidently caused
the arrest.

Inc SOCIdI Quietly IS TcaIIy hot 50 uuCu
an idIer after all. She works hard. She
keeps late hours. She manages a house
superintends the buying of furniture, the
making of dresses, the ordering of dinner;
is worried by her social duties, by servants,
by thousand things, and with it all she
must perform the duties of wifehood and
motherhood. Is it SO very wonderful that
her health fails? It fails as other women's
health fails. The beginning is some slight
arrangement of functions peculiarly femi-
nine. From the beginning the progress of
disease is swift and appalling, unless it is
quickly checked The frightfu1 prevalence
of female weakness over thirty years
ago caused the invention of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription It is a sure, perma-
nent cure for the ills common to women. It
is equally valuable in keeping women well.
Taken during the eIpectant period it greatly
lessons and sometimes entirely eliminates
the pain and danger of childbirth.

Game to Be Played in Chicago
Coliseum
Thanksgiving Day by Chicago
and U. of M. Players.
HOLD 1900 PERSONS.
Bicycle Track To Be Torn Out
for the Event.
Other Sporting News of a Gen
eral Nature.

Chicago. Sept. 15-J. De F. Richards,
manager of the University of Michigan
foot ball team; A. A. Stagg of the Uni
Yersity of Chicago and James Hey-
worth of the Chicago Exhibition com
pany have completed final arrange
ments for a great foot ball game to be
played in the Coliseum next Thanks
giving day. On account of the sever
ity of the weather of Chicago at that
time Of the year and because of the
great seating capacity of the Coliseum
1t was decided to play the game indoors
this year.
Plans are being made to make the
game the greatest event of the kind
ever held in the west. The prepar a-
tons for the game inside of the build
ing Will also furnish an exhibition of
how Chicago people carry on big under
takings in a short space of time On
the evenings of Thanksgiving week a
six day bicycle race will be held and
the foot ball game will be played so as
not to interfere with the bicycle races.
AT II o'clock on the night before
Thanksgiving the bicycle riders will
leave the track. At once an army of
carpenters and laborers will be put to
work to tear up the bicycle track and
build stands for the foot ball crowds
The bicycle track will be torn up and
stored away, the floor of the hall re-
moved and a full sized gridiron laid
the hall.
Around the gridiron, fifteen feet dis
tant from the side lines, will be erected
a smooth board fence four feet high
Next to this fence on both sides of the
field, will be constructed two tiers of
boxes, each box capable of holding six
persons. At each end of the field, forty
feet from the goal posts, will be erect
ed high stands capable of holding 1000
people. On the sides of the fields, di-
rectly behind the rows of boxes, stands
will be placed capable of accommodate
ing 5000 people. These stands, with
the galleries, will furnish total seat
ing capacity of II, 900. This work must
all be done between midnight and noon,
at which hour the game will be called.
After the game the stands must be re-
moved and the track replaced by
o'clock that evening.
AS the big eastern teams do not play
on Thanksgiving day it is hoped that
the managers will be able to secure for
umpire either Mr.. Brooks of Harvard,
Moffatt of Princeton or Dashed of Lee
high. These men are the best in the
country and would lend prominence to
the game.

men are thought in these modern times
to be good fighters, has been training
hard and every one present felt that he
would be able to give a good account
OF himself against his younger and
stronger antagonist. The last event
of the evening was called soon after 10
o'clock and proved a bitter disappoint-
ment to the friends of the ex-cham-
pion, who made a pitiful exhibition
When KiIrain stripped he looked to
weigh not less than $50 pounds and the
flesh hung from him in rolls. SlaV1n
on the contrary was in the pink of con-
dition
Jake led with his left, but it was a
mere feather tap. Slavin then caught
Jake in the ribs; they chnched. Slavin
hit his man a terrific short arm blow
under the heart, threw his arms around
Kilrain's neck, hooked with his right
on the jaw and the one time champion
fell like a log. His head struck the
floor. He tried to rise as the referee
began to count, staggered to his feet
as the fatal ten was spoken, but could
not raise his hands and was pronounced
out
The round lasted but two and a quar-
ter minutes.

Do You Use It?

It's the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro-
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayers Hair Vigor. It re-
moves dandruff, c1eanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil in
which the hair grows, and,
lust as a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour-
ished. But the roots must be
there. If you wish your hair
to retain its normal color, or
if you wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use
Ayers Hair VigOr.
