GREAT SAVING RESULTS FROM THE USE OF

done by the highly polished name plate.
The number of the B. of L. F. lodge
205, was on the number plate and the
number of the B. R. T. lodge No. 4S was
on the headlight. The credit of the en-
CINE with its real whistle blown by
steam, is due to Engineer Chris Nc
GinniS.
On the pilot of the engine was pic
ture of President E. P. Ripley in the
center of a star of delicate China silk.
The frame and picture were sent by
Mrs. Andy Verlin, of Argentine, wife of
Engineer Verlin. Mrs. Verlin never
fails to send the Topeka lodges some
pretty token of her friendship and
whenever a dance is given the members
of the lodges wait with expectancy to
see what she will send and something is
always forthcoming.
On the wall opposite the stage was a
large banner with the motto of the
ETY., Charity, Industry" in the center
were two elapsed hands denoting the
friendship that exists between the fire
men and trainmen, on the right Ben
evidence, SObriety, Industry" the mot

ed the same year and since that time
there has ever been harmony and good
fellowship between the two railroad or
ders that are so often rivals instead of
friends.
Everything was going smoothly and
all were enjoying themselves until sud
denly and without warning Night Call
er Silver Smith appeared on the
scene with his lantern on his arm.
There was a moment of hesitation and
then the ffremen scrambled to the
further end of the hall. Some one
shouted extra west and then many of
the merry dancers turned white for
fear they would be called upon to go.
They were about to mob the caller
when he explained that he was there
to enjoy himself and not in his official
capacity. Then a sign of relief from the
firemen.

Some say he is homesfck.
The railroad men who danced to their
hearts content and who laid away the
cares and dangers of their daily work
were free in their praise of the Santa
F'e officials who had assisted them in
every way possible~to make the ball q
success. Over $50 railroad men, their
wives and sweethearts came from Ar
gentine and the delegation from En-
poria filled a coach. Other towns sent
good delegations.
At midnight the dancers repaired to
the banquet hall where a sumptuous re-
past awaited them. It was far into
the morning and the fast mail could be
heard whistling for Topeka when the
programme of "A dances and half as
many extras was completed and all
went out into the night with words of
praise for those who made the ball the
success it was and resolving they would
meet the second section" next year
The semaphore dropped to clearance
and the hall was deserted.

Deputy Bank Commissioner
Waterman Files His Report
ON ARMOURDALEBANK
Condemns Methods of Conduct
ing Receiverships
And the ExtOrtfOns of AttOr-
neys Connected Herewith.

The lawyers interested in the receiv-
ership proceedings of the Citizens bank
of ArmourdaIe and the lawyers identi-
fed with the receivership proceedings in
general, are numerically scored in q
report fled by Deputy Bank Examiner
NJ. A Waterman with Bank Commls-
sioner Breidenthal today
Mr.. Waterman completed an eXamln-
alton of the receivership of the bank
this week.
At the start of his report Mr.. Water
man recommends that bank receivers
in future receive a certain per cent for
handling the business instead of stat
ed salary, and then referring to the re-
ownership of the Citizens bank, espec-
tally says;
THE manner in which the receiver
has been held up for attorneys, fees IS
infamous in the extreme, and in com
parisOn with which highWaymanship IS
honora Bile. These institutions are look
ed upon by lawyers as legitimate prey,
and they flock to them like buzzardS
and eagles TO new born lamb, and ex-
hibit no more decency or mercy II
their bills or methods are questioned,
expert testimony of brother lawyers IS
called into reQuisition and the skinning
process Iegalized. The attorneys bill
now under consideration should not be
allowed, and the attorneys should be
made to disgorge a portion OF what they
have already received.
Scroggs & McFadden of Kansas City,
Kan, is the law firm that has been
handling the receivership proceedings.
The bank burst in 1898, and although it
has not paid one cent of dividends since
taken charge of by the receiver, the at
tOrnevs have received $3.50 for their
work In addition to this, they have
bills now pending amounting to in the
neighbOrhOOd of So, 900.

DE WINDT'S MISFORTUNES.
They Were Due to His Inability to
Talk Umvadijik.

San Francisco, Feb. 18.-The Russian
consulate in this city has just been in
formed of the results of an investiga-
ton instituted by the governor of ST.
IBERIA in regard to a complaint made by
the English traveller, Harry De Windt
against the natives of the village of
Umvadijik, in northern Kamschatka,
where he lived for three months in the
autumn of 1896.
This investigation was made by chief
of the Anadyr district and has convinc-
ed him that the hardships encountered
by De Windt during his stay at UNI
vadijik, must not be attributed to the
enmity, or i'll will of the natives, but to
the general trying conditions of life in
the far north and to the misunderstand-
ing resulting largely from the fact that
De Windt and the natives did not speak
each others language.

go upon the stage and make her own

there is q story.
While Mr.. and Mrs. Kendall have not
looked askance at the stage, of which
they were most admirable models of all
that an actors life should be, they have
not encouraged their children in follow
ing their parents calling. When their
daughter Ethel preached the idea of
making a public appearance the Ken
dali nest, it is said, was thrown into
such turmoil that some of the young
birds were nearly thrown to the ground.

SERIOUS NAVAL ACCIDENT.
A British Tramp Ship Brutality

Not Stop.



NORFOLK, Va, Sept 6.-The first Sc
rious accident to any vessel Of the aux
Hilary navy. occurred at Hampton
Roads, when the converted yacht Syren
was rammed by British tramp steam
ship. The little vessel was just swing
ing to her anchorage in the lee of the
Dolphin, and .as she came broadside
across the channel. the big steamship
Topaz, coming out from Norfolk, direct
ly in the Syren's wake, struck her with
terrific force, bows on.
The Syren was thrown almost on
beam ends. The steamship continued
on her course at full speed without
stopping to ascertain the damage done,
or render assistance. The captain will
be proceeded against at the next port
he puts into.
The Syren Immediately slgnaled the
flagship slammed; filling rapidly
"Beach yourself" was wig-wagged from
the San Francisco. The Syren prompt
ly made for the shore at full speed. She
glided upon the sand without injury
and was immediately surrounded by
launches and boats ordered to her assis-
tance. Examination revealed jagged
hole amidships, below the water line,
1t will be temporarily repaired until the
vessel can be docked.
