WILDCAT LOANING.
Kansas Banks Careless About Letting
Eastern Manufacturers Have
Money

Bank Commissioner Breidenthal has
issued a call for statements from the
banks of Kansas
a remarkable thing about the call is
that Commissioner BreidenthaI COM
plains because Kansas banks are loan
ing money TO eastern concerns at too
low rates of interest
Mr. Breidentha1 says:
Reports from a large number of
banks that have recently held meetings
of their boards of directors indicate
that there are vast sums of idle money
in Kansas banks at this time, and in
view Of this fact would respectfully
suggest that bad loans are usually
made at just such times. When money
is scarce bankers invariably insist up
on good security, but when money is
plentiful and good loans scarce there
is DISPOSITION to be lax in ScrutiniZing
ton to reckless and speculative loan
ing In such times the banker should
pray. Lead Us not into temptation
Persons engaged in certain classes
of business are disposed to use our
banks in such a manner as to result in
the banks furnishing all the capital
for their business, absolutely without
security 1 do not hesitate to say that
no bank should permit the use Of funds
fntrusted TO its care in this manner,
and I recommend that. before paying
the checks OF any Individual or com
pany engaged in any business, all banks
require either a deposit of cash or
property security ample to cover same
It has come to my notice that some
of our banks have been loaning large
sums of money to eastern manufact-
ories at very low rates of interest-fOur
and five per cent-and upon no other
security than the name of the firm or
corporation. I do not approve of this
class of loans, and will exercise the
power given me under our law to re-
quire payment of same. Il our banks
can afford to loan the funds under their
control at these low rates, Kansas peo-
pie should be first given opportunity to
use same, and in no instance should the
funds of a bank be loaned without
proper security
since my last call for a statement 7
have been compelled to close three
banks, the failure of none of which can
be attributed to general causes or con-
ditiOns The closing of two was due
to the misuse of the banks funds by its
officers and the disregarding of our
banking law, and the other failure was
due partly TO bad loans, made years
ago. but chiefly to the fact that the
bank had paid a high rate of interest
on a large amount CT time deposits, the
sum so paid during the last twelve
years aggregating over S100 900. In
my opinion. no bank can pay more than
four per cent on twelve months time
and come out even"

IT'S A BIG FAKE.
The Alleged Solid Silver Statue of
Ada Rehan Now in Topeka

There are several men in Topeka who
have come to believe that the celebrated
silver statue, for which Ada Rehan IS sup
posed to have posed. is one Of the most
gigantic fakes exhibited at the Columbian
exposition They are the men who have
become interested in the statue, legally
and otherwise, during its stay in this city
The statue is said to be worth $780, coo and
TO be practically OF solid silver These
men have come 10 believe II worth less
than $1,000 and to be practically Of solid
lead, with a silver coating. L would take
less than $1,000 TO have the statue releas-
ed from all claims that now hold II in this
city, but although the Chicago company
that owns II has been notified several
times Of this fact, they fail 10 forward the
required amount In other words the
company appears unwilling TO give S100O
for something which the people have been
made to believe was worth thirty times
that amount
In the meantime the statue rests with

THE TAX ON MARRIAGE.
Internal Revenue Stamp Law as 1t
Affects Marriage Certificates


Probate Judge Dolman says that under
the new internal revenue tax law it Will
be necessary for ministers who perform
the marriage ceremony to afhx a ten
cent revenue stamp to the certificate
which they have to fill out and return to
the probate court. The law requires that
the person filing out and signing the GER
tifcate shall afffx it When minister
returns a marriage certificate to the pro-
bate judge without the stamp it is not a
finished document and the clergyman lays
himself liable to arrest for violation Of
the tax law It has been decided that
the authorization for the marriage which
is first filed out by the probate judge does
not need a revenue stamp, but that the
certificate of marriage made by the per-
son who performs the marriage ceremony
and the certificate which is furnished on
special application, and suitable for franz
ing, shall bear the revenue stamp Judge
DoIman says that he cannot make a rec
ord of marriages from certificates which
do not bear the revenue stamp properly
Cancelled by the minister or person per-
forming the ceremony, and under such
conditions the marriages will not be legal
until properly recorded in the records OF
the probate court. Young people who
wish to be real sure that their marriage
is legal had better furnish a ten cent in
ternaI revenue stamp to the minister and
see that it is properly Cancelled by him.

Attorney General BOYLE who went TO

some notifications IN the rates On coal

was successful
The following Associated Press dispatch
announces the success OF the conference:
CHICAGO. July 26-The coal rate case
from Usage City. Kan, was adjusted here
today by the officers OF the AtchisOn, To-
peka & santa Fe Railway company and
Of the Missouri Pacific. in q consuItaCi
with Attorney General Boyle Of Kansas
and other Kansas attorneys A 10 per
cent reduction was given 10 all points
south and west
-.Osage City has complained that the
railroads were giving P-ttsburg. Kan, bet
ter rates than were given the Usage coun-
ty mines. The attorneys for the compa-
MES. Mr. Hurd for the santa Fe and Judge
Horton and J. H Richards for the Mis-
souri, Pacific, were in consultation with
Attorney General Boyle n Topeka Friday
and IT was decided 70 settle the case here
today
This is the last Of the coal rate cases
that have been before the railroad COM
missioners of Kansas all winter The rest
were settled IN Topeka last week
Though the Usage complaints were en-
bodied in the general coal rate cases be
fore the board of railroad commissioners,
IL was OF a different character. The peo-
PIE Of EmpOria. Salina. Wichita and Fre-
donia complained that the rates 10 those
cities from the Pittsburg coal district
were TOO nigh. while the complaints from
Usage City were from mine operators who
complained that they were Disseminated
against in favor of the Pittsburg- district
and that the rates out of Usage City were
TOO high
promised all the cases, though several
days were consumed in listening to evil
dence before the board Of railroad COM
missioners-
The reductions made were as follows:
Emporia, reduced from $50 10 $50
Fredonia, reduced from S1-10 10 81 cents.

Emporia Gazette: THE Enporia Re
publican which was esta abHshed fifteen
years ago by c. V. Eskridge has been
sold by him to B. T. Coughenor, Of La
Crosse, Kansas. The nominal consid-
Grafton was proba bly, 81, 900. The real
consideration was a trade for the Fifth
Street opera house in Kansas City,
Kas., a property that is covered by a
S3. 600 mortgage and is probably worth
about the face of the mortgage Mr..
COughenor is a banker and has con-
siderable real estate on hand He is
a keen trader and expects to find a
man for his paper very soon He has
three months rent free in which to do
so. He is said to have a journalist in
view, who will take charge at once It
is said the paper Will be greatly i'm
proved and the journalist is consider
ing the proposition to put in the ASsO-
clated Press dispatches and set his type
by machinery and make a paper WOr-
thy of the town. EmpOria certainly
needs at least one good paper and as
Mr. COughenOr is a man of means. the
Gazette believes he will be able. as he
is certainly willing, TO put up paper
that will fill a long felt want.
The Republican was started before
the boom OF the SOS, a a love feast
When Plumb and Hood decided TO
bury the hatchet with Cross and Mar
tindale. the latter gentlemen prevailed
upon Plumb and Hood to help start
new paper. This was done. but very
early in the papers history Major Hood
drew out the senator buying Hoods
stock In the beginning. the -RepubIi-
can was a morning paper and a fabu-
lous sum was paid for the morning
press dispatches. Train service be
came shortened westward and the Re
publican territory was invaded by the
Kansas City morning papers. The
morning dispatches were stopped and
the evening report was substituted
This was cut off a few years ago and
the 'Repu ublican' relied altogether on
plates for its news services.
Reductions in Office force and reduc-
tiOns in salaries were required by the
decreasing revenues of the paper. but
each reduction came over the protest of
Governor Eskridge, who has always
tried to give EmpOria good paper but
who has been unfortunate in his relI-
ance upon the gratitude of the people.
The new man may, and doubtless will
reap where the governor has sown
The form of the paper will not be
changed but it is understood that it
will be enlarged and greatly improved
at an early day"
