WILL SUPPORT HENDERSON.
Kansas congressman Can Unite and
Name the Next Speaker.

The contest for the place which
Speaker Reed has vacated is close and
it is believed that the votes of the Kan
sas delegation can name his successor.
The KansanS are friendly to Hender-
son of Iowa but at a conference to be
held soon, to be called by Congressman
Curtis, the KanSanS will take definite
action on the proposition. The congess-
men are not discussing their plans,
fearing that premature announcements
may destroy whatever political advant-
age may come to this state and its
representatives.
AS chairman of the house committee
on judiciary, Mr.. Henderson rendered
valuable assistance in securing the
passage of the bill retiring Judge c. G.
Foster from the federal bench. He had
it absolutely within his power to pre-
vent the bill being reported. This is
only one of the many favors he has
shown Kansas.
Congressman Charles Curtis is friend
Iy to Sherman, of New York, but, not
withstanding this friendship, he may
support Henderson. Sherman is chair
man of the committee on Indian af-
fairs

This is caused Mr.. Mckenzie believes,
by INSCRIPTIONS persons doctoring the
good wheat with an inferior article for

BROUGHT To TINE.
Bank Commissioner BreidenthaI
After Savings and Loan Co.'S.
Must Report to Him at Once
Concerning Business.
A NEW STATE LAW
Will Protect People Who In
vest Savings.
Other News Cleaned in Various
State Departments.

By the provisions of law passed by
the last legislature, all building and
loan associations doing business in
Kansas are placed under the supervis-
ion of the bank commissioner and are
required to make reports when called
upon by the commissioner.
The law provides that the first state
ment or report shall be made during
the month of March, but owing to the
fact that the law did not take effect
until published in the statute books it
was not practicable to conform to this
provision of the statute. Mr.. Breiden-
thai has issued a call for a statement
June 30, 1899, at which time all loan as
Soclations Will be required to make the
first report to the department.
In circular letter which is being
sent out by Bank Commissioner Breid-
enthal, particular attention is called to
the following important provisions of
the new law:
''First-Limiting the rate of interest,
which includes premiums, to 10 per cent
per annum.
Second-Requ1ring that a member
Withdrawing after one year shall re-
ceive not less than 80 per cent of the
money he has paid to the association,
less his proportionate share of the net
losses OF the association during the
time he was a stOckholder, and that his
certificate of membership must contain
statement, among other things, of the
Withdrawal value thereof at any time.
This provision of law entities the with
drawing member to 80 per cent of all
payments, less losses.
''Third-No portion of the dues paid
by common stockholders can be applied
to the creation of guarantee fund.
''FOurth-All officers must give bond,
the amount to be fixed by the stock
holders, and the bond to be approved
by the board of directors and the dis
trict court in the county in which the
main office is located and filed with the
bank commissioner, and that a penalty
of ten dollars per day is provided for
transacting business without first hav-
ing complied with this provision.
mo association can lawfully issue
any stock or make any loan contrary to
the provisions of law. 1t will probably
be necessary for all association to
amend their bylaws, and prepare new
stock certificates and other blanks, be-
fore transacting any new business. All
legal contracts existing prior to the
taking effect of this law will be binding
upon both the association and it's mem
berS.''

POOR OLD MANHATTAN.
Weak Effort Made to Contest
For Baseball HOnors.

Manhattan must have heard about
the Washburn baseball team some time
ago. At any rate the players from the
State Agricultural college came to To-
peka Friday endowed with meek and
lowIy spirits. They did not expect to
win from washburn and there was
little danger of a surprise.
The Washburn team played with
careless abandon. The little fellows
were not quite so agile as usual and
they did not seem to care whether they
connected with the ball or not. The big
farmers from Manhattan could not be
agile if they tried ever so hard and
some of their efforts were decidedly
funny. Taken all in all the game bor-
dered on a stupid and altogether unin-
teresting exhibition.
There were few startling plays and
even timber, loose jointed Gramley in
his double action slides failed to draw
the undivided attention of the bleach
ers. Mr.. Gramley is the only ball
player on earth who can slide % feet
on his head and shoulders and crawl
out happy and smiling from his en-
tanglement with the second baseman' s
legs.
Center Fielder Cricket Barnes made
long runs and ''froze to the balr' in
various attitudes, but the benches were
silent. When F'risby, who stands like a
statue of Grant next to the home plate
and strikes out" actually made one
or two hits the eyes of the people open
