MONEY PILING UP.
The New York Banks Now Hold an
Immense Amount.

New York, Jan. 23.-- The New York
Financier says this week: There is no

While the banks are holding 90 their ,

\ iM, statement on the whole is an in
teresting indication of resources which
has been forming for months. The con-
traction in business, the heavy export
sales and the liquidation in all lines have
forced on New York an immense fund of
idle money, attracted in many cases by
the small interest paid on balances. OF
course the pi'ing up OF this money could
not occur where business is active but
there are signs that capital is becoming

Cancer
Can be Cured,

1t is very often that the most insig-
nificant symptoms are forerunners of
the most violent disease. There is
not more dcstr uctivc disease than
Cancer, and in Il majority of cases it
is first indicated by very small pini-
pie or sore, to which no attention is
attracted, until it before long develops
into the most alarming conditions.
Here is another case where the first
symptoms of most violent Cancer
were too small to receive much notice
until the disease had fully developed.
Mrs. Laura r. Minis has resided at
Snitlville, Georgia, for years, andis
we'll known throughout the adjoining
country. In Il recent letter she tells
of wonderful case.
She says: "A small pimple of a
strawberry color appeared on my
check; it soon changed to purple, and
began to grow rapidly, notwithstand-
ing all efforts TO check it, until il was
the size of Il partridge egg. My eve

selection of thu. site was admittedly not

this error to some extent by laying SUBJ

our streets in the past, with little or
nothing to show, so far as we can see;
but if the Council will now raise suni-
cient amount to make these improve
ments, right in the heart of the city, it
will not only be appreciated by the mail
and church going public, but will en-
courage building and add greatly to the

MISSOURI BANK METHODS.
Certain officers Misused the Officers
Money Right Along.

Kansas City, Dec 9.-The govern
ment authorities who have Investigated
the affairs of the Missouri National
bank say that when the case is tried
next spring there Will be startling de-
velopments, showing the manner in
which the banks money was misused
ington.
r. P Moxey, the governments ex-
pert accountant, said yesterday that
soon after the organization of the Mis-
souri, bank, January 2, 1891, Rieger and
COVington began using the banks
money for private purposes, but that
the banks officers could not be indicted
on these charges because they were
OutlaWed by the statute of limitation,
which prevents prosecution three years
after the crime has been committed.
Mr.. MOxey said that these practices
were similar to the transactions cited
in the first three counts of the second
joint indictment on which the president
and cashier were arraigned in the fed
eral court yesterday. Rieger and Gov
ingtOn, he said, let thousands of dol
lars of the banks money on straw
notes, and the persons to whom the
money was OStenSibly paid never re
ceiVed it, and that Rieger and Coving-
ton did receive it. The second and
third counts of the indictment charges
that Rieger and Covington discounted
q note of NJ. w. Oliver of the Standard
Liquor company for $4,000 and Mr..
MOXey says that Oliver swears that he
never received the money. The gov
and cashier received the money and
used it themselves, and the government
authorities say they will show how it
was used.
Rieger and Covington. it is charged,
worked together for the disposal for
their benefit of the banks money.
Rieger signed a cashiers check for
$4,5O0, with which fifty shares of the
banks stock We're bought from H. P
Wright & Co, the brokers. To supply
the place of the money taken out in
this way r. d. Covington's note, of
which the interest and principal were
never paid, was deposited in the bank
1t was to cover up the possession of
paper OF this kind. the government
charges, that false reports were made
to The comptroller OF the currency, on
which there are twelve counts in the in
dictment.
]. V. G. Karnes, chief counsel for Rie-
ger and COVingtOn, said today that the
policy of the defense had not yet been
decided He had not read the indict-
mentS and did not know whether or not
any demurrer would be filed There
is plenty of time he said, ''the case
does not come up for trial until next

see a way of doubling their invest
ments by the erection of new buildings,
they would gladly tear down the old
ones and put up structures that would
be a credit to the principal business
street of the city. 1 think I am safe in
saying that with the new bridge and
the auditorium, it would be but a short
time till lower Kansas avenue would
be transformed from a place of dives
and tumble down buildings to a pros

Il believe the plan of selling shares
of stock at 81 with coupons for future
entertainments to be given in the

would he one of the best methods of
raising the amount necessary for the
erection of the building. I think the
matter can be taken up Immediately
after the first OF the year, and then
it should be pushed straight through
without any interruption or delay. Ev-
cry public spirited citizen is in favor
of building up the city, and there is no
better step to take in that direction
than the building of an auditorium"

KANAKA BELLIES PROTEST.
Hawaiian Annexation Would Bring
Loss of Social Prestige.

among the congressman who spent their
vacation in Hawaii He returned q
strong annexationiSt. Mr.. TaWney gives
opposition to annexation among the ma
tives. He says it has its origin with the
Hawaii women. In explaining this Oppo-
sition. Mr.. Tawney said:
THE Hawaiian women, in opposing an
fnexatiOn, have eye to their future
cial prestige. The native women are now
recognized as the equals of the white wO
men and are classed in the same social
set There is a disposition on the part
of the white women. however, to class
the native females as negroes, and the
natives believe that annexation will in
crease the number of white women in the
islands to such an extent that eventually
they will be releGated to the negro class
entirely. The native women are doing
everything in their power TO arouse SEN
timent against annexation, but their ef-
forts thus far have not met with much
success

the first of January. Topeka can have
an auditorium by fall. The dedication
Of it can be made part of the festivi-
ties.
Personally, I would be willing to
give 81, ,0OO towards the building of the
auditorium rather than not have the
building said Treasurer Edward
Wilder of the Santa Fe today. An au-
ditOrium will be of untold benefit to
Topeka
This is the extent that Mr. Wilder,
one of the most substantial men of
Topeka, is interested in the auditorium.
There ares scores of energetic Topeka
men as interested in the project as is
Mr.. Wilder.
mo one can reflect on the benefit the
town will derive from an auditorium
and not be Interested in it" said Mr..
Wilder, continuing. 1T will bring big
meetings and conventions to this city,
and out of every hundred men who
come to Topeka, there viii be some
who will become interested in the town
and eventually move their families and
property to Topeka. Besides, consider
the money that every convention will
bring to Topeka, and the benefit the
merchants of the city will derive from
hundreds of people visiting this town
yearly. Every convention of any prom
inence in the state Topeka can then Sc
cure as well as interstate and national
conventions of different kinds
In my opinion the most suitable 10
cation for the auditorium" Mr. Wilder
went on, ''is the city park. In the first
place it will be a pleasant location for
such a building from the fact that one
side can never be shut in, and it will be
fairly convenient to all the hotels in
the city By building the auditorium in
the city park the coal hole money can
be used, and it will be the means of
extending the business portion of the
city as far as our handsome new bridge
