BANK STATEMENTS ORDERED.
They VIII BE Published to Include
Up to Sept. 10.

The Savannah state banks have been
notified by State Treasurer and Bank
Examiner w. ]. Speer to publish their
statements up to Sept. 10. When the
banks are called upon to publish their
statements, in order that the public may
see how they stand, the date up to which
the statements are to run is always prior
10 that upon which the state treasurer
gives his directions. The institutions then
have ten days within which TO make pub
lie their statements.
The time up to which the statements
are to run is made to antedate that at
which the treasurer issues his instruc-
tons, in order that the bankers, even If
they might wish it, would have no chance
20 so arrange matters as to make the
statements appear more favorable than
the real conditions might justify. The
publications are ordered four times during
a wear.

TO GO BEFORE THE COURT.
The Christopher Gray Stock May he
Sold In a LumD

1t is understood an offer has been made
to Receiver Max l.. Byck for the entire
stock of Christopher Gray & Son. which
Is now being sold at retail by the receiv-
er. 1t is probable that the question of
selling the stock in one lump will be
brought before the Superior Court to-mor-
row, when Judge Falligant returns. In
such case bids would probably be call
ed Tor, and the stock sold to the highest
bidder The store will. of course. be open
as usual tomorrow, and the sale will go
right on, unless the court should finally
decide to accept a bid for the whole stock.

A few cooler days last week brought
out housekeepers in search of delicacies.
The butcher went to work manufacturing

this board. They lost because their bids
were too high. The first contract let
went to them. 1t was for finishing few
rooms for the Historical Society in the
south basement of the State house and
their bid was considerably less than
$4,000. 1t was so much lower than others
that it was viewed by the board as an
effort to unduly impress the members
with the idea that they were the only
contractors who would do work for a
reasonable price. Whatever their mo-
tives may have been it brought them no
more business as all later bids were too
high to give them any show. This board
also discovered that 1t could do work as
cheap as a contractor could. An electric
plant was to be put in at the Olathe
Deaf and Dumb Institute, and after adj
vertising twice for bids the lowest one
secured was but $1O,80O. The board de-
cided to handle the work directly. The
members went into the market and
bought the needed apparatus and hired
men to do the work, completing the plant
for $500. A careful examination of the
records Of Morrill's administration not
only fails to disclose any such favor
able transactions for the State, but 1t
gives no indication that any saving was
really desired anywhere.
The Advocate and news., 1898-04-20

When the Morrill, police commission at
Kansas City, Kas., retired from Office
in the latter part Of January, 1897, the
department was left in debt to the
amount of $4,000. This was largely due
to ex-policemen for salaries, ETC., and no
money was left in the police fund with
which to pay it. The present force has
not only paid Its own expenses but in
the little over a year which it has been
In charge it has paid OF about $4,000 Of
this debt. 1t indicates that the police
affairs Of Kansas City, Kas., are being
more economically administered and that
the money received Ii being accounted
for and turned into the city treasury.

Campaign
of Agitation.
State Temperance Union Is Busy Hold
Ing Meetings and Organizing LO-
cal Unions for Active Work.
DIR. II. II. RUSSELL is HELPING.

The Kansas State Temperance Union
has begun one Of the most aggressive
campaigns in several years past. Four
lecturers and organizers are regularly at
work through the month Of April, and, in
addition to these, several volunteer work
ers are rendering frequent service in
different parts of the State. Three Of
these State lecturers are national organ
izers in the American Anti-Saloon
League, DR.. Howard H. Russell, who is
the National Superintendent of the
League, Dr. ]. C. Jackson and Rev. w.
L Woodard. The two former of these
men have travelled extensively through
out the United States in the interest of
temperance.
DR.. Russell is a comparatively young
man. His college education was obtained
in the West. He was afterwards sue
cessful lawyer in Iowa, and later became
a leading minister in Kansas City, Mo-.
and Chicago ILL., For five years past he
has been Connected with the American
Anti-Saloon League, auxiliarles to which
organization he has been instrumental
in having effected in twenty different
States, most of them in the West. He
is flrst-class orator and Is an organizer
of recognized ability His work in Kan
sas Is being done entirely under the au-
spices of the State Temperance Union.
The latter organization has not yet be-
come an auxiliary to the American Anti
Saloon League, but is working in hearty
cooperation with it.
A new constitution and other liter
ature for local leagues have recently
been adopted. Within the past few weeks
over fifty counties have been visited, in
all Of which organizations have been ef-
fected, and in many of which temperance
unions have been formed The officers
and executive committee assert that the
work is to be kept entirely within non
partisan lines. Article III of the new
constitution reads as follows:
article II. Purposes purpose is to
abolish the use of and traffic in liquors as
beverage. The Union, as such, pledges
itself to avoid afflliation as Union with
any political party, and to maintain an
attitude of neutrality upon questions OF
public policy not directly concerned with
the purpose above stated"
DR.. Russell, accompanied by his two
co-workers, will spend Sunday in To-
peka. Nearly every church In the city
has opened its doors to the executive
committee Of the State Temperance
Union for use on that day. Over thirty
meetings will be held during the day,
and in addition to these several meetings
will in all probability be held outside
Of the city throughout the county. In
addition to DR.. Russell there will be sew
eral other speakers from over the State
who will spend the day here. Among
those who are expected are Prof. w. H.
Carruth, of Lawrence; Rev. c. 7. Dur
boraw, OF Fort, Scott; Judge E. w. Cum
ningham, Of Emporia; Mrs. Annie L.
Diggs; Hon. ]. w. Parker, of Olathe;
and DR. J. g. Dougherty, of Kansas City,

Gravel Walks
a Bonanza
Worthless State House Walks and
Drives Put In at Four Times What
They Should Have Cost.
CONTRACTORS PAID EARLY

There Is something Of story about
the construction of the State house drives
and walks. 1t involved one contract In
which Fellows q. Vansant did not ap"
pear, but the State Jared as poorly as
It did In any Of the other contracts Just
the same. The successful contractors
managed to make 1t cost the State o
good big pile Of money for a poor Job
Of work.
In the beginning State Architect J, q.
Holland submitted an estimate TO the
Executive Council showing that the cost
Of this work would be S6,159.25. This
estimate was made April Z, 1896, and was
not, apparently, any more accurate than
the estimate of the expense OF the pre-
liminary State house work which was 70

seem that after a years experience he
would have learned that ordinary esti-
mates would not be OF any value In
figuring on jobs TO be done by contractors
who were favored by the State admins
tration.
Mr. Hollands estimate was as follows:
AOLdl CuDlC ydIub VI DdAldbk OgUOVS
at $1.25 per cubic yard $3,832.00
Total cubic yards OF top dressing
1871, at S125 per yard 2,326.25
Total ..,........,,, ,$6,lbS'29
This included the cost of the mate
rial and the cost Of laying It, The bal.
last referred to was broken stone. What
1t cost the State is shown In the order
of the Executive Council recorded In
its record book on page 452 and dated
April 30, 1895, as follows:
"The architect was instructed to
purchase OF the County Commission
ers of Shawnee county all the broken
stone required in the walks and
drives in the State house grounds
at 65 cents per cubic yard delivered
In such quantities and at such times
as may be required"
The State paid for ballast and labor
the sum OF $4,S12.S7, which was $980.S7
more than Mr.. Hollands estimate for
this part Of the work. The vouchers
showing the payments above referred to
are too numerous to permit the printing
even Of list Of the parties who drew the
money. They have all been carefully
checked and examined by the investigat-
ing committee and the report shows that
$4,812.H was the amount allowed and
paid for this purpose.
Among these vouchers are a number,
amounting in all to $i,853.90, which were
paid by George M. Seward, who was then
the Assistant State Treasurer He took

sented and they were held to prevent
them from being stamped mot paid fox

fund was replenished by the receipt Of
tax money he presented them and they
were paid.
An excess OF y98O.S7 over the archi-
tect's estimate was comparatively lasy

Among those in the city who will prob
ably address meetings on the same day
are Senator PETER, ]. w. Gleed, Jas A.
Troutman, ]. B. Larimer, L. A. Stebbins
and Judge T. f. Carver 1t is the inten-
ton Of the officers and executive COM
mittee to keep on actively and aggres-
sively in the work Of organizing through
out all of the present year.
Secretary Stephens says the demand
has not been as great in several years
past as it is at present for lecturers and
organizers, and that at the present rate
the entire State will be organized within
the next ten months. "The work." he
adds, will be carried on along the two
lines of total abstinence for the indi-
vidual and law enforcement for the COM
munity. Our main efforts throughout
this year will be in the way Of agitation
and organization. If the people respond,
as we have reason to believe they will,
the work of law enforcement will soon
follow. This is work that cannot be
done all at once, and we have no other
thought than to keep everlastingly at IT,"

How POpuIist Board Saved Honey.
There is some difference in the SER
vice given by different public servants
The articles which have been appearing
in these columns indicate what sort OF
service was given to the State by the
officers in charge of public works during
the Morrill, administration. The facts
relative to the methods pursued by the
Lewelling Board OF Public Works show
that.the State was better treated In those
days.
OF seven large buildings which were
constructed no two were given to the
same contractor. This shows that there
was no administration firm of contract
ors. Fellows e. Vansant, who managed
to get all OF the contracts which were
worth having during the Morrill, adminis-
tratiOn, only secured one contract from

Church, at Manchester, N. 81. Five doctors
had arrived and were in attendance before
he regalned consciousness. In all these cities
and towns the newspapers freely mentioned

he had consulted many physicians, though he
said, to be entirely fail, he had never been any

over the pain about my heart, but that 10 all
this the reverend gentleman told in q simple
conversational way, and when it was sug-
gested that he let it be known, he rather
demurred, because, as he put it, ST am almost

At that time, at Mr.. Dunnett's request.
his statement was only published locally,

from Fitchburg, Mass, where he has been

Kew. Wa. Dunnett, Man Whose Good Work u

Career Of General Interest.
From the Smiths Falls Record.

Throughout Canada, from the western
boundary of Ontario to the Atlantic Ocean.
there is no name more widely known in tenn
perance and eyangelistic work than that of the
Rev. w. a. Dunnett. Mr.. Dunnett has been
the Grand Vice-C Councillor Of Ontario and
Quebec in the Royal Templars, and SO popular
is he among the members of the order that in
Montreal there is a Royal Templars council
named ssDunnett Council" in his honor For
more than ten years Mr.. Dunnett has been 20.
ing from place to place pursuing his good
work, sometimes assisting resident ministers,
sometimes conducting a series Of gospel tenn
Perance meetings independently, but always
!aboring for the good of his fellows. While

for little visit with the editor. During the
conversation the Record ventured to remark
mat his duties entailed an enormous amount of
bard work. To this Mr.. Dunnett assented. but
added that IN his present physical condition
ne was equal to any amount of hard work.
put 1t was not always so, he said, and then
he gave the writer the following little per.
sonal history. with permission to make it
public: He said that for the past thirteen
years he had been greatly troubled with q
pain IN the region of his heart, from which
ne was unable to get any relief At times it
was dull heavy pain, at others sharp and
severe. Oftentimes it rendered him unfit
for his engagements, and at all times it
made it difficult to move His trouble was
always visible to the public and frequently
when conducting service he would give out
and doctors had to be. called in to attend
him. This occurred to him in the Yonge
Street Church, Toronto; the Baptist Church,
Woodstock, N. B.; the Methodist Church

backwards and forwards six times
across in front Of the Spaniards, pour.
ing in npon the latter a perfect hail Of
shot and ID shell. Every American shot
seemed to tell While almost every Span

After. having thus scattered death
and demo ralization among the Spanish

American feet retired for breakfast,

held on board the Olympia.
By this time the Spanish ships were
in desperate condition. The flagship
Reina Christina was riddled with shot
and shell one of her. steam pipes burst
and she was on fire.. The Castillo was
also on fire, and they were eventually
Burned to the Waters Edge.
The Don Antonio de Ulloa made a
most magnificent show Of desperate
bravery. When, her commander found
she was 50 torn BY the American
shells that he could not keep her

and she sank with all hands fighting to

During the engagement a Spanish
torpedo boat crept along the shore and
around the offing in an attempt to at.
tack the American store ships, but she
was promptly discovered, was driven
ashore and actually shot to pieces.
The Mindanano in the meantime had
been run ashore to save her from sink.

shelter from the steel storm behind the
