OVER HALF MILLION
Enormous increase in Bank
Deposits Last Year.
MONEY Is PILING UP
Bankers Declare That Pros
perity Is Everywhere

On the 18th Of this month, National
Bank Examiner Jobes called for state.
ment from the national banks of this
city. When these statements were made
out and the sum of the deposits COM
pared with those of a year ago, the
bankers were surprised at the remark
able increase. According TO this COMPARE
son, there is about 100000 more money
deposited IN the three national banks of
this city than there was a year ago.
Two Of the banks have been made Unit
ed States repositories within the last
year, but the amounts thus deposited
are but a small proportion Of the total
Increase. The total deposits are about
81, 10000, nearly all of which are what are
known as individual deposits These in
dividual deposits are the bank accounts
Of persons and business firms. Of course
the larger part OF the depositors in the
Wichita banks are Of this city.
The bankers all have the same theory
as to the cause Of this large increase,

perity of this city in general One bank
president said that he did not know Of

DEVIL CAST OUT
ARKABLE EXORCISM PER
FORMED BY MR.. BUsSARD
UnruIy Cow Reduced to n state of
Perfect Tractability.

The hearing Of the insanity case Of
John Bussard, the young man who claim
ed he had been mesmerized week ago,
was conducted in the probate court yes
terday. The jury found that he was in
sane, and he was committed to Jail TO
await commitment to one of The state
asylums.
Ray Keihl, one Of the witnesses, told
most interesting story of one Of the
peculiar spells of Bussard, in which Bus
sard claimed the power to cast devils out
Of Jersey COW. Mr.. Keihl said hat he
lived only a block away from Bussard's
uncle's and that the other morning Rus-
sard came to their house saying that he
wanted to cast a few devils out of their
Jersey COW. The cow was a very wild one
and was Somewhat dangerous. This Bus
sard knew and he insisted that she lad
devils and asked Mr.. Keihl if he might
pray for the COW. Mr. Keihl said that lie
could not persuade him differently and
told him he might tackle the COW. BUS
sard leaped into the barn lot and went
directly to the cows head. Strange to
say, no one else could get near her head
in such manner, but Bussard had no
trouble whatever. He stood at the cow s
head a few moments with his face in his
hands in silent prayer. Then he raised
his eyes TO heaven and waved his hands
over the cow and pronounced her whole.
The devils, he said, had scampered. The
cow has been a good COW ever since. and
1t may be true. after ALL that there is
efficacy in prayer when it comes TO a
fractions COW.
The cause of Bussard's sudden change
Of condition is a mystery which no one in
the court room was able to guess. His
actions were fairly rational on the wit
ness stand. but he reiterated what he had
told his relatives at home concerning the
leap from the train and the mesma-ic
spells that had come over him in vari-
Gus places and at various times. When
he ran away from the house THURSDAY
evening he claimed to have been mesme--
lied by his relatives and said he could
get no rest there. Aside from his halIu-
citations and religion. the young man
seemed perfectly rational in the court
room.
He is a handsome young fellow, with
large. bright eyes and exquisite facial
hneaments. He carries a small Bfole
with him constantly and seems 70 fear
that If il were not for the Bible the devil
would destroy him. He talks good ralig-
ion and sometimes feels that his soul is
fun Of religion. Il was in one OF these
spells that he commenced TO preach
while on the train down from Kansas
City before he jumped of. but he SAYS
he made an awful noise. for nearly all
the people vacated the coach.
It is the opinion that a few months
treatment viii restore Mr.. Bussacd's
mind.

GRIMES WON'T TAKEIT
Refuses $1,000 of Sedgwick
County Tax Funds.
QUANTRELL RAID SCRIP
Is Swapping State Treasury
Col. Taylor's Big Roll.

County Treasurer Lloyd has received a
notice from State Treasurer Grimes say
ing that he will not receive any more of
the QuantrelI raid scrip in payment for
taxes on the levy of 1893. The reason for
this is the enormous sums Of the scrip
that have been dumped into the state
treasury lately, which threatens TO
swamp the treasury and leave it without
sufficient funds with which to pay the
running expenses of the ST tie govern
ment
It is understood that Col H c. Taylor
of this city has more Of the scrip than
any other man in the state, estimated to
be $4,000. although his friends think tie
amount is not that large. The report
from Topeka states that Colonel Taylor
has sold large blocks of this scrip to large
taxpayers at a discount and the taxpay-
ers have turned the scrip in to the coun-
ty treasurers in payment of their taxes
at full face value. The scrip is good only
in payment of taxes, and the law says it
shall be received at its full face value
Mr.. Grimes notice to the county treas
urers is raising considerable of a pro-
test and many of the treasurers insist
on the state taking in the scrip as they
send it in They have gone to Attorney
General GODDARD with their complaint,
and it is understood he has rendered his
opinion to the effect that the state treas
urer must receive the scrip
Treasurer Lloyd sent in a batch of the
scrip amounting TO more than $1,000 a few
weeks ago and the state treasurer re-
turned it under a pretext that the inter
est had not been figured correctly. The
local treasury force figured it over again
and found they had figured it correctly.
and they Immediately forwarded It back
to the state treasurer with their original
figures. Then Mr. Lloyd received Mr..
Grimes circular letter stating that he
could not receive the scrip, and sent It
back to this office Mr.. Lloyd fired the
scrip back, and there is no telling just
where 1t will end.
A dispatch from Topeka concerning
Colonel TayIor's scrip and Treasurer
Grimes's action, says:
Topeka, Kan, Feb. 14.-H. c. Taylor
of Wichita, formerly state oil inspector,
holds $4,000 of Quantrell raid scrip which
he is disposing of at a discount to large
taxpayers, who in their turn, have been
paying their taxes with it at par. So
much of this paper has been received by
the treasurer of the state that he was
liable to be short of funds to pay current
expenses of the state government unless
he shut off, and this morning he mailed
notices to county treasurers that here
after he must have the cash. In making
this order Treasurer Grimes acts within

PULLED The FARMERS LOAD
Frisco Freight Crew Hooked TO WaS-
on and Pulled 1t Out Of the Mud.

The trainmen on the Frisco have well
earned reputation of being the most &C
commodating fellows in the world. Just
TO show how obliging these men are 1t
might be well to tell of a little incident
which occurred several miles east of
Wichita yesterday.
At the particular point where this incl
dent happened a wagon road runs along
by The side of the railway. The time was
sundown. One of the actors in the scene
was all ready on the ground He was an
old farmer who was hauling a lead of
corn to this city. At this particular
place the mud was very deep and the
team got hopelessly stuck. The farmer
turned and whipped and "cussed' his
horses, but to no avail; he only mired
the wagon the deeper
It was getting cold and the mud was
beginning to freeze. He had just about
determined TO leave the wagon until a
thaw should happen along, when a Frisco
freight came along. The train had been
coming up a grade and was running very
slow. The kind-hearted .trainmen saw
the couEtryman's plight and made up
their minds to help him out.
They stopped the train, got their switch
rope. hooked it 10 the rear end of the
caboose and TO the end of the wagon
tongue and started on. AS soon as they
had pulled the wagon out of the mire
they stopped and unlocked the switch
rope.
The old farmer was nearly overcome
with joy. He went down in his pocket
and pulled out a half dollar and ex-
claimed: That's all the money I've got
but you are darned welcome to it. Take
it and when You get to Wichita buy some
cigars II I find you fellows when I get
this load in 70 town and get it sold

FINDLEY WAS TICKLE

| Recruiting Officer Guehn is the maddest
man in town AMI is looking for any kind
of an old fight so he can work off some
of his surplus anger. The object Of the

named John Findley. Kuehn accuses this

same fault commonly attributed to young
women-not knowing his own mind
1t seems that day before yesterday
Findley came to the recruiting station
and enlisted. Apparently he vas very
anxious 10 go. Yesterday at noon six
men had enlisted. AS this was the nuns
Der wanted, the sergeant asked each one
of them If he intended to go. Ali said
they could be counted on, and 50 the
sergeant telegraphed Uline. who is now
captain. to come and swear them in. The
message was scarcely out of Kuehn's
hands before Findley came to the office
and told him that he had changed his
mind and did not want to go. It 50 hap
pened that this man had not taken the
oath of intention, and Kuehn could not
do a thing but give him a good cussing
and threaten 10 throw him down the
stairs But Findley made a very rapid
descent without any assistance from the
sergeant and has not been seen since.
The other FIVE men who enlisted are:
