OFFICIAL BATHTUBS.
From This Account We Learn How
the Legislators Indulge In
Their AbIutiOns.

Away down in the basement of the
capitol, in the midst of the winding
and mysterious passages of this sub
terranean section, are located the CON
gressional bathrooms, where the states
men cleanse their cuticles at the ex-
pense of Uncle Sam. There are about
10 tubs on the house side, and when
congress is in session they are patron
lied at all hours of the day. The rep
reseutatives who take their periodic
tubbings in the capitol bathrooms are
' not bound by any particular hour or
rule of bathing. They start in at any
hour of the day (or night, if the house
SITS laie), and are scrubbed aud rubbed
down by suong-a-med atlepdduIs at
government expense. The fact thai
the tubs are almost constantly occupied
indicates the eXtent 20 which the priv
ilege If free bath is appreciated. In
many of the hotels of the city patron
lied by congressman a charge is made
for the use of the bath, and the thrifty
representative can get around this ex-
pense by making his abluIions at the
capitol, says the Washington Star.
In both the senate and house wings
of the capitol there are barber shops,
where statesmen are shaved, and hair
tonics, perfumes and soaps furnished
by the government, so that If one has
mind to, the usual expenses of the bar
Der shop can be avoided.

FoRECASTER HAZEN INJURED.
The Meteorologist IL Thrown from His Bi-
cycle aud His Skull Is sCracked-Little
Chance for HIE Recovery.

Washington, Jan. 23.-IIenry A. IIaz.
en-, professor of meteorology and "A
forecaster at the weather bureau in
this city, was probably fatally injured
last night by being thrown from his
bicycle. The accident occurred while
the professor was on his way to the
bureau. At the corner of Sixteenth
and NJ streets he ran into colored
man, the force of the contact throw
ing him from the wheel and pitching
him forward on his head. The blow
was terrific one, the skull being
cracked from over the nose to the
back of the head and also causing a
hemorrhage of the brain. Physi-
clans afterwards trephined the skull
and removed "a large clot of blood
from the right side, They say his in
jury is one of the most severe on
record and the chances for his recov-
cry are remote. Prof. Hazen was for
some time an assistant to Prof.
Loomis, of Yale, but since 1881 has
been identified with the government
weather service at Washington.
Prof. Hazen was highly regarded as
an efficient forecaster. He was 55
years old.

The Private Bank Of the Nor
thrups in lola to be
Changed to a Nation
al Bank
CAPITALIZED At S5O,OOO
The Capital Stock Will be
Increased and the Bank
Recognized in its
New Home

A brief dispatch in the Tuesdays
papers brings the expected news that
the comptroller of the treasury has
authorized the reorganization of Nor
thrups' private bank in lola into the
Northrups' National Bank, of lola,
with $50 900 capital. The incOrpora-
tors are l.. l.. Norlhrup, Frank Nor
thrup, Delmar Northtup, Mary Nor
thrup and Docls Northrup.
This change in the organization of
the oldest bank In the county is made
tor many reasons. In the first place
lola is getting older and larger and
more dignitied and a National Bank
is in perfect harmony with her ele-
walton. Then u change comes
naturally now. The private bank
WAS established by l.. l.. Northrup,
5r., In 1860 and has done an uninter-
rupted good business ever since. For
the greater part of this time 1t has
occupied . small brick building.
There is now under construction q
handsome three story brick building,
one of the handsomest In south -easte ern
Kansas, and Ia this building the new
bank will have Its home. The chief
business reason for the change is that
as now organized In case OF the death
of any Of the incorporstors the bank
would have to be closed until re-
organization could be effected, which
might prove a very embarrassing
period. There is every reason for the
enlargement and the change is a good
business move.
The announcement of the action OF
the comptroller of course does not
make the change. Several months
will be required before the bank IS
affairs can be shifted around 80 as to
meet the requirements of National
banks. One of them is what consti.
tutes assets. I'm private bank
mortgage notes can be placed as
assets, but not so with q National
Bank, and the Northrups, like all
other private bankers, have dealt
largely in this kind of security. 1t
will be some mouths yet before the
new building is completed and will
require several months before the
preparations for the change can be
perfected, and the move into the new
bank will probably be the signal for
tha new organization TO take effect
Northrups' Bank ia one of the big
stable concerns of l, la and its pro-
gress and prosperity are good for
lola. The REGISTER is very glad in
deed to note the progress of this
house.

eminent to Recover the Indian Trus
Funds.

Washington, May 11.-Solicitor Cen
eral Richards, on the opening Of the
supreme court next Monday will take
initiatory steps in actions against the
states of North Carolina, Florida,
Louisiana and South Carolina to re-
cover the following sums alleged to be
due the United States from these
states, respectively STAG, 140, $269. 1885,,
s54, 22O and s24s. $50.
These actions are instituted by the
attorney general at the request of the
secretary of the treasury, in u
of the requirement Of the fourth sec
ton of the act OF appro'eu

the United States to Raise and Or
ganize and Supply and Equip the
Volunteer Army of the United States
in the Existing War with Spain and
collect claims against such as are IN
debted to the government.
The stocks and bonds which form
the foundation of these proceedings are
those which were originally held by

tribes, commonly known as the I'm
dian trust fund.- the purchase where
of had been authorized by various
actsAof congress under various treaties
had with various Indian tribes n
stocks and bonds not having been paid

rity, and the interest thereon not hav-
ing been paid, the United States re-
deemed the same by paying TO the
Indian tribes the value thereof and
subrogated itself to the rights Of the
Indians and by The Indian appropria-
ton act of August 10, 1894, these
bonds became the absolute property OF
the United States.
1t is to enforce the payment Of prin-
cipal and interest due pol these
stocks and bonds that these suits have
been instituted in the original juris-
diction of the supreme court OF the
United States. that being, under the
constitution of the United States, the
only forum in which the federal gov
eminent can sue a state.
