CALL FROM BREIDENTHAL.
Banks to Furnish Seatements-Ad-
monitions to Bankers.

John w. Breidentha1 state bank COM
missioner, has issued a call for a state
nent from all state banks showing
their condition at the close OF business
October 5, 1898. The general instruc-
lions are the same as on the previous
per cent or over must be shown as Dor
rowed money. Breidenthal also says:
quite a number of state banks fail
to hold quarterly meetings of their
board of directors, as acquired by law.
Such failure operates as a forfeiture of
the authority of the bank to transact
business, and in the future where any
bank fails to hold regular meetings its
authority will be revoked. The law al
so requires that reports of such meet
1nSS, with a copy of proceedings, be for
warded to this office. Blanks for these
reports, sufficient for the year 1898, were
sent to all banks early in the year. The
supply has been exhausted and others
will not be prepared until the close of
the year. If you have run out of blanks
you can prepare a written report. The
blanks were sent as a convenience, and
not because of a legal requirement.
Before another call reaches you the
business for 1898 will have been closed
up on your books. Do not overlook the
fact that you are required by law to
make an annual report of receipts and
disbursements, and that all salaries and
other expenses must be entered upon
your books before the close of the year.
No expense item can lawfully be carried
over to another year as cash items or
otherwise. The Verification of annual
statement will set forth that all such
items have been charged to your ex-
pense account. All losses should be
charged off. Let the new year COM

IF SPAIN HAD KNOWN
The Condition of the American Army
She Woold Have Been Fighting Yet

The Condition of the American Army
She Would Have Been Fighting Yet
Washington, Oct 8-Information
has reached the war department that
high officer of the Spanish army, very
recently made the statement that had
the Spaniards been aware Of the condl-
ton of the army, its inability to with
stand the hardshipS of a campaign, its
lack of medical and other supplies and
general ineficiency as told in the Amer
lean papers, the Spaniards would not
have given up but would have cOntin-
ued the fighting for a long time to come,
fully believing that they would have
been able to prevent the capture or
Cuba by American arms. This state
ment is said to have been made to the
American officers in Cuba and causes
some uneasiness in ofticia! circles as It
may mean that the Spaniards are not
yet ready to yield the island under the
terms of the protocol.
It is believed by officials in Washing
ton that had it not been for the cutlery
made regarding the army and the con-
duct of the war, that there never would
have been any question raised by the
Spanish peace commissioners regarding
the Cuban debt. 1t is pointed out that
under the protocol the sole question left
for the commission was the settlement
of the Philippines and that nothing was
said about the Cuban debt or any other
Cuban question. By those who are in
a position to know, it is asserted that
the Madrid government was aware
when 1t asked for peace and when ne
gOtiatiOns were opened that 1t was use
less to assume that the Cuban debt be
taken into consideration by any COM
mission and that it Is only since re-
ports of the bad condition of the Uni
ted States army have reached Madrid
that the question has been raised.
Another matter that causes grave
consideration in the war department is
the temper of the Spaniards in Cuba,
and the fear that the impression which
prevails there may lead them to regard
the American troops of not much ac-
count and to act accordingly after the
occupancy by the United tSates.
The matter has been discussed in the
war department and it is probable that
when the troops are sent to Cuba there
will be a force of such size and charac-
ter as to give the islanders a different
impression of United States soldiers
from that which they now entertain.
''The impression among the Spaniards
in Cuba said an officer in a position
to know, sis that the American soldiers
are weak and puny, incapable of with
standing hardship and whom it will be
an easy matter to Vanquish. This feel
ing may make it difficult for the Amer
leans at first. This impression is due to
the charges that have been made
against the war department with such
virulence and insistence during the past
few months

DOG Els OWN sUReEoN.
Chews Of Leg Cut by a Moving
Machine

Wichita, Kan, Oct. 1s.-George w.
Van Werden relates an incident where a
large fine, intelligent Shepherd dog, be-
longing to Dane Smith of Viola township,
performed a self amputation of his fore
leg.
The animal was frislzing about in front
of his master while he was moving some
grass in the pasture. When the team was
going along in a rapid walk the dog got
in front of the mower. Before the team
could be stopped the CANNES right hind
leg was cut half in two.
The dog then began to gnaw off the leg
which was hanging limp, but half severed.
1t wasn't long until he completed the am
putation. Mr.. Smith put on the neces-
sary salVeS or oiptments that would readi-
ly heal the amputated leg. The dog has
now so far recovered that he hops about
on his two legs and half.

CATHOLIC PRELATES SUED
Father Kozlowski Files Complaint at
Being accommodated.


Chicago, Oct. 18.-The second step in
the prosecution Of one of the most uni
que suits ever brought in an American
court,-the suit for $50, 900 damages
against the officials of the Roman Cath
Ollie church for publishing the major rite
of accommodation against a former
priest of their faith, Father Anthony
KOzlowsIi Of the All Saints Independ-
ent Polish Catholic church-has been
taken into the circuit court in the filing
of the declaration containing the item
lied complaint of the independent pre-
late.
The document sets up in its opening
lines that the plaintiff of his own Volt
ton formally severed all connection
with the Roman Catholic church May
z, 1897, at which time the independent
parish of All Saints was organized.
1t is further asserted that in the
neighborhOOd of the church are numer-
Gus people who feel bound to obey the
commands of Archbishop Feehan, being
members of the Roman Catholic church
in the diocese governed by him, and
that other persons not members of the
Roman church stood in such awe of the
power of that body that they too would
obey the commands of the archbishop
and regard with aversion anyone placed
under the ban of the church through
the edict Of communication.
The specific charge against the arch
bishop and Cardinal LedOchoWslxi, who
were made defendants in the action is
the people over whom they had eccles-
iastical jurisdiction, with intent to in
jure the plaintiff they caused a letter
to be read in all the pulpits of the do
cese forbidding all true members of the
Roman Catholic church from asSocia-

NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IT.
New idea introduced in Railroad
Damage Suit at Fort Scott.

Fort Scott, Kan, Oct. 1S.-Ars. Mollie
Johnston's suit against the Memphis for
$4,000 for the killing of her husband, has
been thrown out of the district court.
The main allegation of the plaintiff that
her husband was killed owing to the negh-
gence of the company in not sounding the
danger whistle. Testimony was introduce
ed that the whistle was sounded. The
court said that the presumption was that
a persons natural love of life and self
preservation would be the first thing
thought of when crossing a railroad track,
and that as the deceased in this instance
was partially deaf, as the evidence show
lutely absent minded and the court could
not see that there was any negligence on
that the train crew did not comply with
the city ordinance regarding the rate of
speed would not have saved his life,
therefore the defendant was sustained and

The Philadelphia Times, which is far

TO say Of the case recently filed against
him, which led to his arrest: Senator
Quay has been helped rather than hin
dered in his great battle by a prosecu-
ton instituted too late to be determined
before the election, when all the facts
relied upon to incriminate him were
as well known to the as yet hidden
prosecutors months ago as they are to-
day. In this age of universal schools
and newspapers personal defamation
and political prosecutions which must
be tried after the political contest is
over. carry no conviction to the people
of honesty of purpose or devotion to
law and an honest public policy.
The latter sentence is worthy Of con-
