a Doctors Troubles

A few weeks ago DR.. William Davis APP
peared in Moorestown, apparently for the
purpose of securing evidence for a suit for
divorce from his wife, who is resident of
that town. The proceedings were insti-
tuted in Rhode Island, where the doctor
appears to have been living.
He had not been in town long before he
was arrested on the complaint of his wife
on the ground of desertion. When the
matter came up for hearing, it was dis
covered that the township had no juris-
diction as the doctor was not resident of
the place. He did not escape, however,
as Mrs Davis had an intimation of the re-
suit, so she secured writ from the Court
of Chancery, and Sheriff Fleetwood was
in attendance to serve it, which act was
performed as soon as the Justice rendered
decision on the first proceedings.
The writ granted to Mrs. Davis by the
Court of Chancery was upon a bill filed
praying for divorce from her husband
on the ground of desertion, and asking
for alimony for herself and child The
writ was allowed by the court on the
ground that Davis is a non resident of the
State and liable to go out of it, and re-
quired the sheriff to hold him until he
gives security in the sum of $500 for his
appearance in the cause, and to obey the
orders of the court made therein The
case before Justice Evans was discon-
tinued, and the doctor left town in the
custody of the Sheriff to look for satisfac-
tory bondsmen.
| This turn of affairs was not relished by
the doctor, who had not come on for this
purpose. The people of Moorestown sym
pathize with the wife, who is an estimable
lady
| Davis, is well known in this neighbor-
hood. He lived in Mount Holly for some
time, posing as man with strong religious
tendencies, attending nearly every church
/ in town, without, however, becoming per-
manently connected with any. The gen
eral impression was that the fellow was
not entitled to much confidence

We live in country of which the prir


cipal scourge is stomach-trouble.
1t is more widespread than any other
disease, and, very nearly, more danger
Gus.
One thing that makes it so dangerous is
that it is so little understood
IfFit were better understood it would
be more feared, more easily cured, less
universal than it is now.
So, those who wish to be cured take
Shaker Digestive Cordial, because it goes
to the root of the trouble as no other medi-
cine does. The pure harmless, curative
herbs and plants of which it is composed,
are what render it so certain and, at the
same time so gentle cure.
1t helps and strengthens the stomach,
puriies and tones up the system.

partmentS.
REPRESENTED

Attorney General Mylrae of wiscon-
sin and Assistant Insurance Commits
sioner O'Rear of Missouri, who came to
this city yesterday, called upon Com
missioner McNau in the afternoon. The
object Of the two mems visit to Kansas
IS to examine the real estate and real
estate mortgages owned by the Travel
ers' Insurance company OF Hartford,
Conn.,, in this state
When Insurance Commissioner Belts
OF Connecticut started out this year to
make an examination of the assets of
the Travellers company he asked the in
surance authorities of Wisconsin, Illi-
nois and Missouri to aid him in the in
VeStigation- The insurance commits
sioner of Wisconsin was unable to leave
his department at this time and Attor-
ney General MyIrae came to Kansas in
his place with the assistant commits
siOner of Missouri Together they will
visit the different localities in Kansas
where the Travellers company owns
considerable real estate.
Commissioner McNau advised them
that the largest holdings of the Travel
ers in this state were in the vicinity of
Ablene, Parsons, Fort Scott and Gar
nett He also explained the details Of
Ihe trouble between the Kansas inSur-
ance department and the company.
Attorney General Mylrae is the man
VINO recently compelled the Travellers
company to pay separate license fees
ana taxes for conducting an accident
business as well as life insurance bus
mess for all the years that the COM
pany has been in Wisconsin. The back
fees and taxes amounted to S36 600
Commissioner McNall is now preparing
10 bring the same kind of proceedings
against the company, and Mr. MyIrae
stated yesterday that there was no
doubt that the Kansas commissioner
would be successful in making the COL
lection. The fees and taxes in Kansas
viii amount to in the neighborhood of
$15 600.

MNALL HITS OUT.
Tells the Insurance Companies Not to
Mind His Authority But Act.

In reply TO letter from Insurance
commissioner McNali, ordering the pay
ment of a balance of loss at Neodesha
under the valued policy law, the mana
ger of the Norwich Fire Insurance COM
pany has written McNau asking where
he gets his authority for making such
an order.
In a letter Commissioner McNau
quotes the valued policy law and the
decision of the supreme court defining
the powers OF the insurance commits
sioner as his authority, and then
says:
Tt seems to me that this department
should not be required to furnish the
law at all times to all companies doing
business in this state when they are
openly and hagrantly violating it If
the valued policy law of the state means
anything, it means just what il SAYS
1t was placed in the statutes to be en-
forced, and, while I will admit from
the returns on file in this Office from
the various fire insurance companies
tranSacting business in this state it is
shown to be practically a dead letter
or has been in times past, still that is
no reason why the law should not be
enforced now

NEW BANKING LAW
Causes State Bank of Hamlin to
Amend Its Charter.

The state bank of Hamlin, Brown
county, has filed an amendment to it's
charter with the secretary of state re-
ducing its capital from $50 900 to $500.
The reduction is in compliance with the
new banking law of the state and an
order issued by Bank Commissioner
BreidenthaL The bank of Hamlin is
ore institution out of 140 in the same
condition.
Under the old banking law a state
bank was required to have not less than
$50, 900 capital. but was to operate with
10 per cent of it's capital paid up. I'm
der the new law the entire capital of the
bank must be paid up. Commissioner
Breidenthal some time ago notified 140
state banks to comply with the law in
this particular.

BREIDENTHAL SAYS
liquidation of Banks is Now Greater
in the East

While glancing over the weekly report
of the comptroller of the currency at
Washington. John Breidenthal, state bank
commissioner, said today:
L observe by these reports that the
1iquida ton of banks. which was so gen.
eraI in the west few years ago. has now
been transferred TO the east while the or
ganiza ton of banks has been transferred
from east to west
This is certainly an indication that the
eastern part of the United States is not
the whole thing at the present time.
Banks are being organized throughout
the west. while the reports show that
are very frequent among the
national banks of the eastern states
