The Karnival Knights met last night
at the Commercial club rooms and de-
cided several matters of Importance.
A costumer will be engaged to be
here Festival week with costumes vary
ing in variety and in price. He will
furnish the robe to be worn by the
queen at the masquerade ball. The cos
tuner will be instructed as to the prices
he is to charge and costumes of all pri-
ces will be on hand for the people to
select from.
The Karnival Knights have expended
all the money they have raised by their
minstrel and other sources of revenue
and are badly in need of money The
buttons will be here within day or so
and a good sum is expected to be real
lied from the sale of them. At the
meeting last night Sc were paid for in
advance. Many persons took one dol
lars worth and several bought half doz-
en- lots in advance One thing is Ger
tain. When the buttons are placed on
sale they will go rapidly. A telegram
was received yesterday stating that the
first lot manufactured were not up to
the standard and were destroyed and a
second lot were Immediately made
which had been shipped by express. AS
soon as the buttons arrive they will be
placed on sale at the uniform price of
20 cents apiece and this price will be
rigedly maintained. Any buttons left
sold for less than the regular price.
The GrOcers and Trades assembly,
who conducted the successful picnic on
Labor Day, announced beforehand that
they will donate one-third of the net
receipts to the Karnival knights. Last
night several of the members of the diff
ferent committees who had charge of
the picnic were in attendance at the
KarniVal Knights meeting and after
seeing the gigantic work being carried
on by the Knights they were of the
opinion that the Grocers and Trades
assembly could not place their money
share more of it with the KarnivaI
Knights and perhaps the Committee of
Fifteen. The matter will be brought
up at the next meeting of the Trades
assembly and GrOcers and it is not at
all unlikely that they will materially
help the Knights out of the financial
difficulty they are in.
A prize of So will be offered for the
person who is first to guess the name of

TOO MUCH MONEY.
Treasury Condition Becoming Burden
some to the Department and
the Country.

New York, Sept. 13.-According to adj
vices received in Wall street from
Washington, Secretary Gage will, in his
annual report, recommend the repeal
of some of the sections of the war tariff,
for the purpose of lessening the reve-
nue..
At the present rate of income from
customs, internal revenue and bond
payments the treasury is rapidly alb
sorbing the available cash in the coun-
try.
1t would not require a great length
of time for all the bank reserves of
the country to be depleted. In fact, the
drain of money to the interior for crop
moving, added to the heavy payments
TO the government, have already re-
duced the surplus reserves of the New
York banks to an unusually low figure.
Call loans which a few weeks ago ruled
at from to ~ per cent have advanced
to 4 per cent, and long time accommo-
cations are quoted still higher. While
the banks have been steadily losing
their funds the cash in the United
States treasury has crossed the $780,
100000 mark, of which the holdings of
gold alone amount to 1925, 538, 076.
Secretary Gage, pending such relief
measure by congress as suggested, is
making every effort to relieve the
money stringency by paying out as
much money as possible. The abrupt
termination of hostilities with Spain
has practically stopped the excessive
expenses of the army and navy. One
08peQlenL TeSOTL6Q TO was the anIlCl-
patton of the October interest on bonds,
which will cause the immediate dis
tribution of IS, 800,0 900. In addition, cur
rency per cent bonds, to the extent of
$14, 900, have been called for redemp-
ton, making total of about $50, 000, 600,
which will be paid out for these two
items during the month.
Another proposition, which is under
consideration by the treasury officials,
is the redemption of $25, O00, 900 of AS
per cent bonds which were extended at
2 per cent. The secretary of the treas
Ury has the right to call these bonds
in for cancellation without the neces-
sity of congressional action. Their re-
demption now will save the government
$500, 900 annually in interest. The carry
swell the amount of money to be paid
out by the treasury to about $45. 600,
and will relieve the banks and the peo-
pie temporarily from the effects of the
heavy payments to the government un-
der the war revenue bill.
Several prominent bankers have left
their desks in the financial districts
within the last two days and hurried to
Washington to urge the secretary to
action. Then they have returned and
marked up money rates.
From all parts of the country come
reports of reviving trade and demands
for money to develop new industries,
and the New York bankers who supply
these funds to the country banks at
low rates of interest are much embar-

TWO NEW HOSPITALS
To Be Established at Southern Ports
q. for the Army.

Washington. Sept. 13.-Surgeon General
Sternberg mas furnished some interesting
details of the plans of the war department
referred to by Secretary AIger. for the es-
Enlistment of two large, well equipped
winter hospitals for the troops. He said
that without attracting much attention.
the medical department had for some time
been at work erecting such hospital on
the reservation at Fort Monroe, and the
surgeon in charge had reported that the
hospital would be ready for the reception
of troops next Friday.
The new hospital will be constructed or
timber, after the style of regular barracks,
and will contain 1000 beds. 1t is intend
ed for the reception of sick soldiers re-
turning from Porto Rico.
Looking ahead to the possibility of an
extended occupation of Cuban ports by
the United States army. with the result
ing requirements upon the medical depart
ment for the care of the sick soldiers,
Surgeon General Sternberg is planning for
another hospital even a larger scale
at some of the southern ports below Fort
ress Monroe, and more accessible from
Cuba. He has appointed a medical board
to make inspection of available places
and the impression prevails that the hos
pital will be located either at Charleston or
Sayannah. The hospital ships Resolute
and Missouri are under orders to prepare
Immediately for a return trip to Porto
Rico to bring back any sick soldiers re-
curing home treatment.

SUITS FOR INTEREST
By the State Against Seward and
Pratt Counties Come Up.

George R. Smelling assistant attorney
general. went to Garden City today to
represent the states interests in two suits
for interest due on bonds issued in Seward
and Pratt counties.
A special act of the legislature of 1898
authorized the board of county commits
sioners of Seward county to refund its
warrants and the bonds were purchased
by the state school fund commission. For
some time the interest coupons were paid,
but the county commissioners have re-
fused to pay the last two on the ground
that the law authO rizing the issue of the
bonds is unconstitutional. The state
brought suit against the county commits
sioners in the district court Of Seward
county, but was defeated. and carried the
suit to the court of appeals.
The Pratt county bonds are also a re-
funding issue and were issued without a
vote on the question It is claimed that
this was Illegal The bonds were pur-
chased by the board of regents of the
state agricultural college. and it is also
claimed that the purchase was in excess
of the statutory limitations of the board s
investments. The present commissioners
of Pratt county refuse to pay the inter-
est on the bonds, and were sustained in
their claims by the Pratt county district
court.
Mr.. Smelling says if he is defeated in
the court of appeals he will carry both
cases to the supreme court.

e.PRINCIPLE'' OUT OF SIGHT
And the Marion County Campaign
Has Become Largely Personal

The political situation in Marion coun-
ty is more complicated than in any oth-
er county in the state and IS attracting
much attention owing to the pecunarl-
ties which are connected with the local
controversies.
Marion county is usually Republican
from 500 to 900 majority but the Popu-
lists are reasonably confident of elect
ing a county attorney this fall, because
many of the Republicans are opposing
the reelection of the present tncum bent
J. II. DickerSOn.
When the POpulist convention named
the county ticket the position of coun-
ty attorney was left vacant and the
central committee was empowered to
fill the place by nominating some good
Democrat. The committee invited
Charles Butcher of Newton to accept the
honor but he declined. Then four of
the candidates already named declined
to serve and the committee was left
with but two candidates. The places
were filled, except as to county attorney
and at this juncture the complications in
the situation arose.
Harry E. Mason who was running a,
bank failed. Soon thereafter the cOun-
ty attorney, J. T. Dickerson and Mr..
Mason had a quarrel which ended in a
fight on the street. Immediately it is
said, Dickerson prosecuted Mason for
alleged wrecking of the bank, although
it is claimed that DickersOn was fully
informed as to the condition of the
banks affairs before he had the trouble
with Mason. He pushed the prosecu-
tfons vigorously but has failed three
times, at different trials, to convict Ma
son. The Populists and some of the
luke-Warm Republicans, Immediately
decided that Dickerson was acting for
revenge and soon created a sentiment
that Dickerson had told his father-in-
law, Sam Sackett, that Mason's bank
would soon fail, enabling Sackett to get
S., 900 belonging to him, out of the bank
before the crash came.
Then arose another feature which ad-
ded interest to the fight. The county
attorney got after an old man who was
selling small quantities of liquors and
summoned 104 witnesses against him.
among them being two members of Ed
Hoch's Sunday school class. The boot
logger was convicted but the Sunday
school class is up in arms against Dick
erson. Then some of the farmers who
lost money in Mason's bank think that
if DickersOn could save his father-in-
law he could save them and they are
mad.
Now the Populists have named for
county attorney a popular old soldier
Q. E. Malcolm, who two years ago voted
for Bryan and Morrill,. He is making
q vigorous campaign aided by the Re
publicans who are dissatisfied with
DickersOn and the situation promises
one of the most interesting contests in
the state
