IT ONLY COST $4,000
To Garry on the Successful Republi-
can Campaign According to
the Report.

1t cost the Republican state central
committee Just 81 cents less than S10,-
600 to elect the Republican state ticket,
according to the statement of the ex-
penses of the campaign as just filed
with the county clerk by F. G. Willard,
treasurer of the state central commit
tee. This amount, of course, does not
include what was spent by individuals
and by congressional committees but
just the money which passed through
Mr. Wizards hands.
In making out his statement Mr.. Will
lard apparently took the check book of
the committee and copied the names of
the persons to whom the checks were
made out and the amount without
specifying for what purpose the money
was used. There were 284 different
items in the statement.
The highest amount received by any
one person was by the secretary of the
committee, Frank L. Brown, who re-
ceived $2,37S.48. Mort Albaugh, chair
man of the committee, on the other
hand, received only $195. One stenog-
rapher received $310.95. George A. Clark
received 1882. 95. m. G. Miller, treasur-
err" is charged with S206.42
OF the Republican newspapers the
Hutchinson News received the most,
$274.55. The Kansas City Journal re-
ceived $175; the Topeka Capital $144.8O,
and the Mail and Breeze $97.15.
The cost of stereotype plates of the
Wetmore letter and other campaign
the publishers of the country newspa-
pers, was one of the big items of ex-
pense. For this purpose the A. N.
Kellogg Newspaper company received
$567.S0.
The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany was paid S85282, and the Postal
$775S. The Missouri & Kansas Tele-
phone company received $3.50.
The money was largely expended, of
course, in the payment of the expenses
of the campaign speakers, and for help
and clerk hire around the committee
rooms. There is no item for postage in
the entire statement, but this was pro-
baby paid out of the amount drawn by
Secretary Brown.
The receipts of the committee were
SO. 1858, so that there is still on hand
S117.55. This money was all received
from Chairman Albaugh by Treasurer
Willard, in amounts varying from S5175
to 81, 306.26 Where the money came
from originally the statement does not
show.

LOWER INTEREST.
Concerted Action by Savings Banks is
Looked For.


New York, Dec. Tt is stated in Wall
street that the board of trustees of the
Seaman's bank for savings is considering
the question of reducing the rate of inter-
est from 4 to 31a per cent and that if this
bank takes such a course many of the
other big institutions that have been hest

The Seamans bank has been reluctant,
according to some of its neighbors, to
make a change for six months or a year
yet, but it is said that the previous course

their interest their deposits have continued

the Emigrant bank came down to a S7a per

Many of the local savings bank officials
believe that it is only a question of time
when they will have to come down to
per cent in New York city, for there are
now very few investmen outside of land
mortgages yielding more than 312 per cent
in which the savings banks are allowed to
use their funds.
In Wall street an impression prevails
that the bankers of some of the leading
cities have been exchanging notes with
dispelling the notion that any one or two
cities are adopting arbitrary measures.

FRANK GOULD'S BENT
Seems to Be in the Direction of West
ern Union PropertY.

New York. Dec. Now that Frank
J. Gould, the youngest Of the sons of
Jay Gould, has reached his majority
thereby under the terms of his fathers
will becoming one of the executors and
trustees of the estate, it is expected that
he Will also soon be elected to member
ship in the directories of the various
Gould properties. His three older
brothers are on these boards, but each
has some interest to which he deYotes
his special attention.
George J. Gould is especially active
in the management of the Missouri Pa
cific system. Edwin looks after a big
match company, and Howard, who was
elected to membership in the New
York Stock Exchange on February p,
1898, it is said will go into Wall street
on his return from his wedding trip.
Frank J. Gould is like his brother
George, an expert telegrapher, and has
always taken a particular interest in
the Western Union Telegraph company,
and it is believed that he will turn his
attention chiefly to the affairs of that
corporation. He is also said TO be
greatly interested in the International
and Great Northern Railroad company,
one of the Gould roads in Texas
