INCREASE OF DEPOSIT
In Wichita Banks Banks for
the Last Year Are
SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND
Dollars Over '97--FinanCiaI
Growth of Two Years.

The individual deposits in the banks Of
Wichita. as figured up yesterday from
their published statements for the quarter.
amount to 81 4ss. s18.76. This includes only
the Kansas National, the National Bank
of Commerce. the Fourth National and
the Commercial. and does not represent
the various loan and building ASSOCIATIONS
where money is deposited, nor other pri-
vate concerns which now handle large
sums OF money. probably enough in all 10
equal a million and three-Quarter dollars.
a comparison Of this amount with the
totai deposits OF a year ago show an in
crease Of $50 900. which IS probably
greater proportonate Increase than has
been made by any city west Of St. Louis,
with the possible exception Of Omaha and
Kansas City. y glance over the various
bank statements back to April, 1897, two
years ago, shows an increase OF $50 900
IN the two years. And yet there are
people who will dispute the prosperity Of
the city.
This large Increase is the more sig
nifcant when il is remembered that in the
last year $4,000 in mortgages have been
paid OFF on Wichita city and Sedgwick
county farm property. Most of this
money when collected, is sent east to
holders Of mortgages, and is a clean drain
on the finances Of the county. Less than
S559-o0o Of new mortgages has been put
upon property and the net mortgage clear
ance, combind with total increase of bank
clearings. would indicate grand total Of
increased wealth in the county in the last
year Of more than a million dollars.

OBSERVE CLOSING HOURS
Retail Clerks SAY shoppers should
Assist Them

The clerks Of Wichita would be very
glad If the public would bear in mind the
schedule OF closing hours which the Sales
mems Protective association has adopted.
which Is as follows: For dry goods and
shoe stores. $50 p. m; for racket and
clothing stores, p. m, and for grocery
stores. $50 p. m. These hours are very
conveniently put for the convenience Of
the public, and the sa-esmen would con-
slider it a great favor if the public would
assist them TO observe the rule. by doing
their shopping at an earlier hour than
usual When the stores are crowded with
customers az the hour designated TO close
1t sometimes causes a great deal Of trouble
and compels the clerks TO violate the rule.
These hours have been fixed so as TO
give the young men who spend the entire
day inside the suitry store room a chance
to get little recreation during the sum
mer months

Fair Play for Alger's Successor.

The American people have had their
protest against unacceptable features
in the war department and 1t has been
honored in General Algers resignation.
They owe it now to General Ayers
successor to withhold judgment until
he shall have had fair chance.
Suggestions which are appearing
from day to day In newspapers un-
friendly to the administration, to the
effect that Mr. Root will in military
matters be at the mercy of Adjutant
General Corbin, that he will continue
the Alger policy of ignoring the major
general commanding, that he will do
this thing or be prevented from doing
that thing. in short, that he will be n
servant not a master in the detailed
work within his sphere merit nothing
but contempt. They aim to prejudice
his case.
Unless biography and the testimony
ot friends are both grossly at fault,
Elihu Root as secretary of war will do
his own thinking and his own bossinS.
1t will be time to believe otherwise
when he shall have demonstrated 9TH
crwise. Just now, we repeat, he Is
entitled to suspended criticism and un-
clouded fair play.

Waiting.


Serene / fold my hands and wait,
Nor care for wind. nor tide, nor sea;
l rave no more 'gainst time or fate,
For, 10! my own shall come to me.
/ stay my haste, ! make delays,
For what avails this eager pace;
l stand amid the eternal ways,
And what is mine shall know my face
Asleep, awake. by niGht or day,
The friends l seek are seeking me;
No wind can drive my bark astray,
Nor change the tide of destiny.
What matter If I stand alone?
wait for joy the coming year;
My heart shall reap where it has sown.
And garner up it's fruit of tears.
The waters know their own and draw
The brook that springs in yondcr
heights
So flows the good with equal law
Unto the soul OF pure delights.
Tho stars come nightly 10 the sky,
The tidal wave unto the sea;
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high.
Can keep my own away from me,

A Child,s Plea.

I think the world is really sad,
i can do nothing but annoy;
For little boys are all born bad,
And l am born a little boy.
1t doesn't matter what's the game,
Whether it's IndiaI S, trains or ball,
I always know l am to blame
If 1 amuse myself at ALL
I said one day on mothers knee,
''If you would send us right away
To foreign lands across the sea,
You wouldn't see US every day.
1--WE shouldn't worry any more
In those strange lands with queer new
toys;
But here we stamp, and play, and roar,
And wear your life out with our noise.
"The savages would never mind,
And you'd be glad to have us go
There, nobody would be unkind,
For you dislike your children So"
Then mother turned and looked quite
red,
do not think she could have heard;
She put me Off her knee instead
OF answering me a single word
She went, and did not even nod.
What had l said that could annoy?
Mothers are really very odd,
If you are born a little boy.

VERSES GRAVE AND GRAY.
Multum in Parvo.


There is no household howsoever defend
ed,
But one microbe is there;
No pantry shelf however watched and
tended,
But germs are in the fare.
Traps may be set. but not for the bacil-
lus,
We feel his presence dread
In everything we eat; he turks to kill US
In dainty loaves OF bread.
The air is full, they say, of mists and va
pors
And other dreful things,
Amid which the bacillus cuts his capers
And dread contagion filings.
We're told he lives in liquor alcoholic,
For years quiescent lies,
Then wakes to give us fever, grip or
collie,
Assuring our demise.
In years to come, when we again behold
He will not be n germ;
Some scientific chap will have enrolled
him
BY some quite novel term.
But by his deeds mankind must always
know him
AS their most deadly foe,
And seek for ways to pay the debt they
owe him
And give the world a show.
Some time the hour will come to cir
cumvent him
Some poison will be mixed,
Or some still smaller atom will be sent
him
Thus will his fate be fixed.
