ALL OVER A CHILD
father-in-Law and Son-in-
Law Go Into Court.
w. SHOWAL TER WANTS PAY
For Serving His MotherIess
Granddaughter Appealed.

Yesterday a rather peculiar case was
filed in the appellate court here from
Sumner county. William Showalter and
Melvina Showalter his wife, are The
plaintiffs in error against John H Rich
ert The suit is for s657.S5 and Is to re-
cover money paid cut by them in caring
for the little daughter of Mr.. Richirt.
The Showalters were plaintiffs in the
first action and In their petition to the
lower court said that they had taken
care of the girl from the 10Th Of Septen-
Der, 1888, to June 20, 1893. They claim
that this service is worth 500 per year,
which would amount to about s475, which
with interest and the costs Of the first
action equals the total amount OF the
suit.
In his answer to the petition Mr.. Rich
ert states that Mr.. and Mrs. Showalter
are the grandparents Of the child, Its
mother having been their daughter. He
alleges that the mother died when the
child was very young and that before
she was buried the old people had asked
him for the little girl. He says that he
granted their request and that they took
the girl and always claimed her as their
own. AS another reason why the petit
ton should not be granted he states that
he amply repaid them for the keeping OF
the girl by giving them many gifts. At
different times he had given them a cook
stove and a cow and had often bought
the groceries used by the family. In adj
dition to all this he had bought for them
a farm in Texas, where he was living,
and moved them there. He allowed
them all the income from the farm and
even paid the taxes himself. While they
were living there in 1894 the child died.
and for some time after this they still
continued to live on the farm, but after
wards abandoned it Of their own free
will and without even his knowledge.
They came back to Sumner county while
he remained a nonresident of the state
of Kansas. He also alleged that they did
not bring action until after the expira-
ton of two years, and that their suit
was of no force because Of the statute Of
limitation in force in the state Of Texas,
which allows two years for the filing of
suits for the recovery of money.
The case was tried in the district court
Of Sumner county last fall, and Richert
was given the verdict 1t was appealed
on the grounds that the court erred in
admitting the count in the answer of the
defendant pertaining to the statute Of
limitation. The case will be called for
trial during the September term Of the
appellate court.

G. q. Chandler Of the City Elected
President.

The Kansas bankers have been holding
their annual convention at Abilene two
days of the past week. The convention
adjourned Thursday evening. Governor
Stanley addressed them on the subject al
the general outlook for business in the
state number of interesting papers on
current topics of interest were read. c.
Q. Chandler, the new head of the Kansas
National Of this city, who was elected
president of the association for the com
ing year, read a paper on depositing and
loaning of state moneys which drew out
quite a discussion. He pointed out the
weakness of the Kansas laws, relating
to state funds, which gives all the de-
posits to TopSka banks without interest.
and recommended the adoption of the
Missouri system, which provides for de-
posting state funds in the banks Offering
the highest interest, government, state or
county bonds being deposited as security.
Mr. Chandler held that under this sys-
TEN the state would have absolute pro-
lection and at the same time would real
ize from $1,000 to $4,000 year in inter-

BEST RECORD EVER MADE
Postal Clerks of This District Make
Fine Showing.

Chief Clerk Reed, Of the Railway Post
al Service, has just made up his report
of case examinations for the month Of
May. There were % examinations thrown:
1886 postoftices were handled with only
141 errors. The average number correct
IS 99,G7. The average grade is the best
ever made in the Wichita office It IS
probable that there are but few divisions
in the United States that can show a
much better record.
1t is said on good authority that the
clerks under the Wichita Office have the
best record for efficiency OF any distrjct
in the Seventh division, and is also con-
sidered one of the best forces in the
country. Chief Clerk Reed was seer. VS.
terday and said that one reason why the
clerks in this district had such a good
record is because they have formed a
habit Of checking each other. BY check
ing Is meant that whenever an error IS
made in handling the mail the clerk dis
covering the error reports 1t and it Is
registered in the division superintendent
Office against the clerk making the error.
on some lines they become very careless
about checking. and as a result become
careless in handling the mail, with 4 loss
in efficiency.
