The Bank News.

At present writing, we have nothing
that looks good or bright to say to the
depOsitors IN the defunct Bank Of
Hutchinson On Monday, news
reached the city that the Metropolitan
bank Of Kansas City, which is so
closely interested with the one new in
receivers hands, has sold out to the
Bank of Commerce. While not much
can be learned and some profess to be-
lieve that the transaction will be of
benefit to the interests OF the people
here, it seems more likely that it was a
move to protect the people in Kansas
City and prevent certain disclosures
and evade certain liabilities in the
course of litigation here.
On Monday Mr.. Canterbury, presi-
dent, and Mr.. Mantz, bOokkeeper,
were arrested on charges of accepting
money for deposit when the bank was
insolvent. Six complaints were
sworn out against Canterbury and two
against Mantz. They we're taken be-
fore Esquire Campbell and waving
preliminary, the bond was fixed at
81 900 on each count making $4,000 for
Canterbury and $4,000 for Msntz.
The bond, 1t seems to us considering
the gravity Of the offense, ia decidedly
small one. In fact, it seems wholly
inadequate. Mr.. McKibben. father
in-lAw of Mr.. Canterbury, Mr.. Law
of Mcpherson county and Mr.. Brighton
Of this city went on the bond.
These suits are brought under the
new law and the oifense in each case
is felony. If convicted, the sentence
will be not less than Eve years in
the penitentiary.

Over the Eye.

While visiting in Troy township q
few days ago, we were informed that
one Of zenO's little boys ran up against
u pop and got 1t over the eye instead
of in the vest pocket, as his father
had always taught him that they car
ried Troy in their vest pocket. He
went home and told his father he was
going TO vote the pop ticket W their
we're good men 10 Il. If he didn't be-
lisve It. TO look at his eye. -"

Ethel Harrison, of Ottawa, second.
The piano duet prize went to Mrs.
Carrigan and Mrs. Henderson Of this
city.
Jack" Davis, of AtchisOn, received
first prize III the cOrnet contest.
Probably the greatest interest CEN
tered in the school chOruses. In these
were nine cOntesting chOrnses. Two
were from Newton one from Wichita
and the rest from Hutchinson. The
first prize $3.50 went to the Wichita
chorus from the IrvlnGtOn school,
Miss Jessie Clark director. The North
Side school Newton received second,
the $500 prize. This chorus was d.
rected by Mrs. Castor Boyd.
In the chorus. class A, $500 would
have been awarded had there been the
required four entries.
The Wichita high school however
sang and having grade Of 8511 was
given $50 of the money.

directed by Mrs. Boyd was awarded
first prize, $500, and Anthony directed
bv J. X. Witbers, second prize, $50.

ceived FIRST prize in the contralto con-
test while Miss Myrtle Mitchell, OF To
peka WAS second
Ia the tenor contest s. E. Lewis, of
Topeka, got the first prize and A. r.
Marsh, OF Wichita, second prize.
To say that the jubilee of 1897 has
been an unqualified success is entirely
needless. Every prize offered and con-
tested for was paid in full. All obi
cations of the association have been
met and its financial success is such as
to leave it in better shape than ever to
prepare for the one next year which is
already determined upon.
1t is generally agreed that the aver.
age Of musical talent exhibited has
been higher than eyer before yet not
so high IS to be beyond popular appre-
citation. This regular advancement
from year to year is point worthy OF
special notice. The city and vicinity
has been benefited socially and finsn-
cially, musical art advanced and a
week of healthy profitable recreation
furnished. Certainly congratulations
and hearty support are due the man

snarl for some eight or ten days.
In fact it has assumed an attitude
that must be corrected. or no good
to the public will ensue therefrom.
There are ordinations and re-
ordinations galore, made by both
members OF the examining board
and plumbers who failed to pass
the examination. 1t is alleged by
those who failed that they &iAzs&a il
because the board-as far as the
plumbers portion OF it was con-
cerned-was composed Of those
who We're competitors, who had an
interest in ruling them out.
Let US now take a look into the
matter. The examining board is
composed Of DR.. D. H. Billiu. pres
ident OF the Board OF Health. Hon.
j. L. Danbruen, chairman of the
finance committee OF the city coun-
Gil and Messrs. Cotter, Wylie and
Lumpkin, the last three plum bers.
THE PROGRESS will not discuss
the first two at all. Our editor
would as soon impute dishonor to
his owe father as to DR.. Billiu. and
as to Mr.. Danbruen we believe the
matter too small for him to dickcr
with.
Now, it is not our intention to
impute wrong or sinister motives
to any one, but the sequel viii show
we think, condolences that VIII de-
mand an abolition of the cxamin-
ing board.
Let us cell who composes this ex-
aiming board:
First is Mr.. Cottor who, by the
way, is the inspector as well. He
was examined by no one. is a COM
parative stranger, was selected by
the City Council without examina-
ton. Well, after he was chosen.
he examined Mr.. Wylie, who has
been in our city about two years.
and they, in turn, examined Mr.
Lumpkin, who has been in Shreve-
port about three months. These
being passed, all was now ready
as the Board was complete.
Now. let the examination take
place. First, we will take Mr.. Jas.
Grubbs. He is home boy; was
arised in this parish. Then Henry
Dlllen berger. jr., who was born in
this city; Mr.. M. T. Rosenblath
was born in the city; Mr.. j. E.
SchHling has been here for years,
and Mr.. L. Gill. Every one of
the have an established business

pIepOSterOuS. There is too much
room for a ''hand-out'' or a freeze
out. THE PROGRESS does not even
insinuate this has been done. b,,,
1t does say it can be done, and for
that reason the examining board
should be done away with.
1t is well to have an inspector.
The health and sanitation of our
community requires that, but that
Is enough. Let each plumbers
work speak for his efficiency. If it
Is not done in a sanitary manner
the inspector can detect it and he
can then condemn it. But it does
look like grim irony for Mr.. Dill
lenberger and Mr.. Grubbs to fail
to pass, when both have done
plenty Of work in this city that has
given entire satisfaction. This is
the common sense view of it. and
IHE PROGRESS says the examin-
ing board should be abolished en-
tirely.

No More Foreign Built Yachts.

The President having permitted the new
yacht bill to become law without his sig
nature, by lapse of the constitutional
period allowed for his consideration of it
after its passage by both houses of con
gress, as we predicted in a prev ious issue
would probably be the case, the law now
stands clear and decisive in regard to all
yachts not built in the United States
There will be no more types of the Val
liant and Conquer or and such craft to fl
the American flag. while consisting of
wholly foreign workmanship, except those
now building in Great Britain for Am 9ri-
can orders. The new law distinctly speci-
fies that any yacht hereafter built outside
the United States, and owned, chartered
or used by citizen of the United States,
shall be in every respect, foreign vessel
and must fly foreign fiag, unless she
shall have been wrecked on the American
coast and repaired by an American citizen
to three quarters of her value, the same
as any merchant vessel obtaining Amer-
can registry thereafter. The law does not
alter in any respect the privileges that are
extended to foreign yachts in American
ports if like privileges are extended our
yachts by the nation to which such for
eign yachts belong, but it simply brands
as foreigners all foreign built yachts, the
same as other craft. This is an eminently
just and proper piece of legislation, as
any fair minded citizen will admit, and
probably would have been included in the
original protective law to American ship
ping and shipbuilders, had the trainers
of that law so long ago imagined that
cause would ever arise for it. New York
