A GOOD SHOWING.
Kansas Bank Statements Show More Than
Twice the Reserve Required by Law.

Kansas Bank Statements show More Than
Twice the Reserve Required by Law.
TOPEKA, Kan, July 1G.-lf banks be
taken as the barometer by which to
measure the pulse Of the business
world, then Kansas is certainly in q
most prosperous condition. State
Bank Commissioner Breidenthal has
completed the compilation of the re-
turns of his last call and the figures
deducted therefrom are little less than
astounding. During the past year the
deposits of the state and private banks
in Kansas, which are all under his
control, have increased $3.50, 1913,
while the loans have decreased Ss2l, lO5
and the amount of cash now on hand
is s2,al3,6i6 more than II was q
wear ago. The borrowed money &C.
count has been reduced over 90 per
cent, while the overdraft, real estate
and furniture accounts show great
scaling down. In the past six years,
the loans have been decreased about
81, OOO, 900, while the deposits now al
most equal those of 1902. The law re-
quires cash reserve of 20 per cent.
The banks now have on hand "A
per cent, us against IS per cent last
year. Bank Commissioner Breidenthal
says that the banks can loan $4,000, 900
and still have more reserve than the
law requires. The deposits have in-
creased over $1,000, 900 since March D.
This great showing is made, too, at a
time when money is going out for cat
tie feeding. harvesting and taxpaying.

averaged 90 day, when the post was

of the companies by corporals, every
body else being either dead, down or
convalescent-added to the halo which
hung about his hitherto Invisible head.
There was no question as to his con-
summatc bravery. Grant himself had
stopped in the rear Of his regiment and
asked his name after its dash on the
works ut Donelson, and the unknown
private was decorated with sergeant's
chevrons on the spot. Before he had
opportunity to learn much Of his new
duties, "thc Johnnies jumped the
picket" one night and stampeded every

colonel acted on the latter while the
