NEW YORK. Sept. 3O.-The stock mar

a sharp decline occurred on heavy oner-

but there was mo strong support. A drive

The Kansas Banks

The Kansas bank commissioner has
issued the advance sheet of his annual re-
port, which shows that a majority of the
state and private banks are carrying a
surplus exceeding by 80 per cent their capi-
tai. The law requires 10 per cent of the
net earnings to be carried to the surplus
account until the surplus exceeds 50 per
cent OF the capital. The commissioner
says that few banks confine themselves to
one-tenth, but during the past year ma
jority have exceeded this by large amounts.
The report will show that Kansas banks
are In better condition than ever before.

Strange Condolences.

The ST. Louis Globe Democrat came
out a short time since with a stirring
write-up descriptive of the gallant
services rendered by William Doherty
in connection with Dewey's brilliant
victory at Mantle. Since then several
letters have been received in Houston,
inquiripg if the hero mentioned was
William DOherty, the we'll known
travelling freight and passenger agent
of the Houston East and West Texas
railroad. In every instance the rail-
road man true to the proverbisl mo-
desty and veracity of his profession,
denied the soft impeachment.
Yesterday while a reporter of The
Post was going his rounds he was ask.
ed, did you hear the news?" mo;
what was it?" was the reply. "Well,
l see by this railroad guide (producing
one that E. N. Brown has become gen.
eral superintendent of the Mexican
National railway. You know him, of
course. Why, he has been for q long
time chief clerk in the passen-
ger department of the Houston
East and West Texas in this city, and
I'm mighty glad of his promotion"
AS in the case of Mr.. Doherty, how
ever, it was only q coincidence. Mr..
E. N. Brown is generally superinten-
dent of the Mexican National railway
and Mr.. E. N. Brown is chief clerk in
the passenger department of the Hous-
ton East and West Texas, but they
happen to be two different men.--Hous-
ton Post.
